餘姚孫國賓，以求盜，獲姚甲造偽鈔，受賕而釋之，執高乙、魯丙赴有司，誣以同造偽。 Sun Guobin of Yuyao, while pursuing thieves, captured Yao Jia making counterfeit notes, accepted a bribe and released him, then seized Gao Yi and Lu Bing and sent them to the authorities on a false charge of joint counterfeiting.

高嘗為姚行用，實非自造，孫既舍姚，因加罪於高，而魯與孫有隙，故并連之，魯與高未嘗相識也。 Gao had once worked for Yao and had not himself counterfeited. Sun, having released Yao, shifted the guilt onto Gao. Lu bore a grudge against Sun and was implicated as well—though Lu and Gao had never even met.

即釋魯而加高以本罪，姚遂處死，孫亦就法。 He released Lu and imposed on Gao only the crime he had actually committed. Yao was executed, and Sun was punished according to law.
