《北史·列传·卷十五》
柳崇见了这些人，也不盘问偷盗之事，和颜悦色地逐个询问他们家里老人在不在，务农收入有多少，而在暗中察言观色，当场将其中的真正偷马贼吕穆等二人拿获，别人都放回。
崇见之，不问贼事，人别借以温颜，更问其亲老存不，农业多少，而微察其辞色。即获真贼吕穆等二人，余皆放遣。
Liu Chong saw these men, and instead of interrogating them about the theft, amiably asked each one whether their elderly relatives were still alive and how much money they earned from farming. Observing their words and expressions in secret, he promptly arrested two of them, Lü Mu and another man, as the real horse thieves and released the others.
