《搜神记·卷十五》
他就向朝廷上表陈情，认为： 蔡仲虽然挖了坟，却是鬼神让他干的。他即使想不挖，那情势也使他不得不这样。所以，对他的盗墓，应该加以宽容饶恕。 
乃表，以为： 蔡仲虽发冢为鬼神所使；虽欲无发，势不得已，宜加宽宥。 
He asked the court to make a statement, saying that although Cai Zhongzhen dug the grave, it was a ghost that forced him to do so. Even if he didn't want to dig it, the situation made him have to do so. Therefore, his tomb robbery should be leniently forgiven.
