《容斋随笔·卷十一·汉二帝治盗》
这以后下级官吏害怕被杀，即使有盗贼也不敢上报，唯恐不能捕获，违反规定连累郡府，郡府也让他们不要上报。
其后小吏畏诛，虽有盗，弗敢发，恐不能得，坐课累府，府亦使不言。
After that, the subordinate officials were afraid of being killed, so even if there were bandits, they did not dare to report it, fearing they would not be able to capture them, and that they would violate the regulations and implicate the county government. The county government also asked them not to report it.
