《汉书·传·外戚传上》
霍显害怕事情败露，就把逭件事原原本本地告诉了霍光，并且说： 既然已经错办了这事，你就想法子别让官吏逼问淳于衍了。 
显恐急，即以状具语光，因曰： 既失计为之，无令吏急衍！ 
Huo Xian was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he told Huo Guang about it in detail and said: "Since the matter has already been wrongly dealt with, you should find a way to prevent the officials from interrogating Chunyu Yan."
