《明史·志·卷七十》
大概皇帝因为罪囚中有人喊冤，命令暂停行刑，重新审理请旨，而魏景琦仓猝之间没辨清楚，所以得罪。
盖帝以囚有声冤者，停刑请旨，而景琦仓卒不辨，故获罪。
The emperor must have heard some of the prisoners claiming injustice, so he ordered for the executions to be suspended and the cases to be retried and reported to him, but Wei Jingqi had not distinguished the situation clearly in a rush, which is why he was punished.
