事下有司，司空伊馛等以宗之腹心近臣，出居方伯，不能宣揚本朝，盡心綏導，而侵損齊民，枉殺良善，妄列無辜，上塵朝廷，誣詐不道，理合極刑。 The matter was handed to the judicial offices. Minister of Works Yi Ba and others argued that Zongzhi, though a trusted confidant sent out as a regional commander, had failed to proclaim the court's policies or to govern the people with care. Instead he had preyed on the populace, killed an innocent man, and falsely accused the blameless, thereby shaming the throne through deceit and outrage deserving of the death penalty.
