王甫休沐里舍，球诣阙谢恩，奏收甫及中常侍淳于登、袁赦、封𦐇、中黄门刘毅、小黄门庞训、硃禹、齐盛等，及子弟为守令者，奸猾纵恣，罪合灭族。 Wang Fu was on leave at his villa; Yang Qiu thanked the emperor at court, then filed charges to seize Wang Fu, the attendants Chunyu Deng, Yuan She, Feng (his given name is damaged in the manuscripts), Liu Yi, Pang Xun, Zhu Yu, Qi Sheng, and every kinsman serving as a local magistrate—men whose crimes called for wiping out whole clans.
