Order the historiographer to examine it immediately. Order the historiographer to write out in full: I and jailer Chen accompanied Jia as well as Ping’s wife and daughter to examine Ping. Ping’s body was hanging on the beam of the north wall of the bedroom on the east side of the house. The rope was made of hemp, as thick as a thumb, forming a noose around the head, tied behind the head where the rope was fastened. The rope ran over the eaves of the house, making two circles and a knot, leaving the rope head two chi long. Ping’s head was two chi from the eaves of the house, two cun from the ground. His head and back were against the wall. His tongue was out even with his lips, excreted feces and urine, contaminating both feet. After untying the rope, there was air coming out from Ping’s mouth and nostrils like sighing. The rope left bruised blood traces on the body, less than one circle and two cun behind the head. Inspected the body. No traces of swords, clubs, or ropes on other areas of the body.
