丞相南郡王義宣、車騎將軍臧質反，義宣司馬竺超民、臧質長史陸展兄弟並應從誅，尚之上言曰：「刑罰得失，治亂所由，聖賢留心，不可不慎。 The Chancellor, Prince of Nan Commandery Yixuan, and Zang Zhi, General of the Household Cavalry, rebelled. Yixuan's Chief Clerk Zhu Chaomin and Zhi's Chief Clerk Lu Zhan and his brothers were all to be executed with the rebels. Shangzhi submitted a memorial: "The gain and loss of punishments are the source of order and chaos; sages attend to them and one cannot be inattentive.
竺超民為義宣司馬，賊既遁走，一夫可禽，若反覆昧利，即當取之，非唯免愆，亦可要不義之賞，而超民曾無此意，微足觀過知仁。 Zhu Chaomin was Yixuan's Chief Clerk. Once the rebels had fled, a single man could have been captured; if one turned back for hidden profit, he should have been taken—not only to escape fault but also to demand an unrighteous reward. Yet Chaomin never had this intent, which is slightly enough to observe fault and know benevolence.
