韓長鸞女適思好子，故奏有人誣告諸貴，事相擾動，不殺無以息後，乃斬之。 Han Changluan's daughter was married to Sihao's son. He memorialized that the report was slander meant to unsettle the nobles — that unless the informant were killed, trouble would follow. The man was beheaded.

思好旣誅，死者弟伏闕下訴求贈兄，長鸞不為通也。 After Sihao's death, the informant's younger brother lay prostrate below the palace gate, begging posthumous honors for his brother. Changluan refused to pass the petition.
