斐性殘忍，以強斷知名。 Fei was cruel by nature and famed for harsh, decisive rulings.

謂之云：「狂簡，斐然成章，非佳名字也。」 He told him, "'Reckless and terse, yet splendor to completion'—not a flattering name."

又伺察官人罪失，動卽奏聞，朝士見之，莫不重跡屏氣，皆目之為盧校事。 He also spied on officials' faults and reported every move; court gentlemen shortened their steps and held their breath at the sight of him, and all called him Investigator Lu.

斐後以謗史，與李庶俱病鞭死獄中。 Fei later slandered the history; he and Li Shu both died in prison of flogging wounds.
