朱謙之字處光，吳郡錢唐人也。 Zhu Qianzhi, courtesy name Chuguang, was from Qiantang in Wu commandery.

謙之年數歲，所生母亡，昭之假葬田側，為族人朱幼方燎火所焚。 When Qianzhi was still a child his birth mother died. Zhaozhi had her buried provisionally by the fields, but kinsman Zhu Youfang's brush fire burned the grave.

同產姉密語之，謙之雖小，便哀戚如持喪。 His elder sister told him in secret. Though he was still small, he grieved as though in full mourning.

謙之揮刃斬冤，旣申私禮； Qianzhi struck down his enemy and fulfilled his private duty;

融等與謙之竝不相識，區區短見，深有恨然。」 We do not know Qianzhi at all, yet in our limited view we feel deep regret at the case."

豫章王言之世祖，時吳郡太守王慈、太常張緒、尚書陸澄竝表論其事，世祖嘉其義，慮相復報，乃遣謙之隨曹虎西行。 The Prince of Yuzhang reported to Emperor Wu. Administrator Wang Ci, Zhang Xu of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Cheng of the Ministry of the Interior all memorialized on the case. The emperor admired Qianzhi's conduct but feared further blood feuds, and sent him west with Cao Hu.

將發，幼方子惲於津陽門伺殺謙之，謙之之兄選之又刺殺惲，有司以聞。 As he was about to leave, Youfang's son Yun ambushed and killed Qianzhi at Jinyang Gate. Qianzhi's brother Xuanzhi then stabbed Yun to death. Officials reported the matter.
