有孽子善昭，性至凶頑，與義雲侍婢姦通，搒掠無數，為其著籠頭，系之庭樹，食以芻秣，十餘日乃釋之。 He had a bastard son, Shanzhao, vicious to the core; he lay with Yiyun's maidservant, and after countless beatings Yiyun put a cangue on him, tied him to a courtyard tree, fed him fodder, and only released him after more than ten days.

夜中義雲被賊害，卽善昭所佩刀也，遺之於義雲庭中。 In the night Yiyun was murdered—it was the knife Shanzhao wore; it was left in Yiyun's courtyard.

善昭聞難奔哭，家人得佩刀，善昭怖，便走出，投平恩墅舍。 Shanzhao heard of the calamity and ran to weep; when the household found the sword, Shanzhao was terrified and fled at once to the Ping'en villa estate.

子暢疑盧姦人所為，將加拷掠，盧具列善昭云爾，乃收捕繫臨漳獄，將斬之。 Zichang suspected Lady Lu of adultery and was about to torture her; Lu laid out in full what Shanzhao had done—they seized him, bound him in Linzhang jail, and were about to execute him.
