僚官韋賞、陸楚皆聞家子，有美譽，論事忤兼，誣劾以罪。 His colleagues Wei Shang and Lu Chu—scions of distinguished houses with spotless names—crossed him in council, and he framed them on trumped-up charges.

帝遣中人至，兼廷勞畢，出詔執賞等殺之，二人無罪死，眾莫不冤。 A palace envoy arrived; Jian received him with full ceremony of praise, then produced an edict ordering Wei Shang and the rest seized and put to death. Innocent men were killed, and all who heard it cried injustice.
