《汉书·传·杜周传》
近来百姓多言治狱深苛，狱吏严厉凶狠，今丞相所议又是狱事，如果这事也连及丞相，恐不合众心。
间者民颇言狱深，吏为峻诋，今丞相所议，又狱事也，如是以及丞相，恐不合众心。
“Recently, people have been criticizing the administration’s strict punishment and brutality of the prison guards. Now that the Chancellor is discussing prison matters again, if he is involved, I’m afraid it will not be in accordance with public opinion.”
