台盜鍾百一非共盜，尉覬賞，躐申製司，綱謂：“治盜雖尚嚴，豈得鍛煉傅會以成其罪邪？” A thief named Zhong Baiyi in Taizhou was not an accomplice in the crime, but the district captain, coveting a reward, rashly reported to the Pacification Commission. Gang said: "Punishing thieves must be strict, but how can charges be fabricated to secure a conviction?"
