《汉书·传·谷永杜邺传》
又在掖庭狱大量挖掘坑阱，鞭笞拷打比炮烙还痛苦，绝灭人的性命，主上替趟、李报答恩德报复仇怨，反而除去罪行明白的人的罪名，建议劾治公正的官吏，往往拘囚无罪的人，拷打逼迫威吓使其屈服来定立罪名，直至替人放债，分取利息接受报谢。
又以掖庭狱大为乱阱，榜棰■于炮格，绝灭人命，主为赵、李报德复怨，反除白罪，建治正吏，多系无辜，掠立迫恐，至为人起责，分利受谢。
Again dug lots of pits in the Ye Ting prison, whipped and tortured more painfully than cannon branding, killed people, and allowed the Lord to repay the favor and revenge for Tang and Li, but instead removed the crimes of criminals with clear names, suggested impeaching just officials, often imprisoned innocent people, tortured and forced them to confess to establish their guilt, and even lent money to others and accepted interest and thanks.
