金溪豪僧云住，發人塚墓取財物，事覺，官吏受賄，緩其獄，景行急按之，僧以賄動之，不聽，乃賂當道者，以危語撼之，一不顧，卒治之如法。 A powerful monk of Jinxi named Yunzhu had robbed graves for valuables; when the crime was exposed, officials took bribes and stalled the case. Jingxing pressed the investigation; the monk tried to bribe him, but he refused; then influential men were bribed to intimidate him with threats, yet he paid no heed and finally punished the monk according to law.
