因此陷北第諸王侯，以為與僧綽有異志，並殺僧綽門客太學博士賈匪之、奉朝請司馬文穎、建平國常侍司馬仲秀等。 On this pretext he implicated the princes of the Northern Residence, claiming they shared Sengchuo's disloyal intent; he also executed Sengchuo's clients Jia Feizhi, Erudite of the National University, court attendant Sima Wenying, regular attendant Sima Zhongxiu of Jianping, and others.
