守廟道士進曰：「曩有王成等五人，同持誓狀到祠焚禱，火未盡而去之，燼中得其遺稿，今藏於壁間，豈其人耶？」 The temple keeper came forward and said: "Some time ago Wang Cheng and four others came to the shrine with sworn statements to burn in prayer. They left before the fire had finished, and draft documents were recovered from the ashes. They are stored in the wall niche now—is this not their case?"

明日，詣憲司詰成等，不服。 The next day he went to the surveillance office to interrogate Wang Cheng and the others, but they would not confess.
