河陽主藏吏盜所監物，下軍巡獄，獄吏尹訓納賂反其獄，其冤家訴於朝，下御史臺按驗，得訓贓狀，奏攝訓赴臺。 A treasurer clerk in Heyang stole goods under his charge and was sent to the military patrol prison. The prison clerk Yin Xun took a bribe and reversed the verdict. The aggrieved party appealed to the court, and the Censorate investigated, found evidence of Xun's corruption, and memorialized to summon him to the Censorate.

訓為安重誨所庇，不與，琦請不已，訓懼自殺，獄乃辨，蒙活者甚眾。 Xun was protected by An Chonghui and was not surrendered. Qi pressed the matter relentlessly until Xun, in fear, killed himself. The cases were then cleared, and many who would have been condemned were spared.
