《宋史·列传·卷八十七》
郓州在梁山泺之间，历来都是盗贼出没之地。蒲宗孟到任后，即大加治理，就算犯了小偷这样轻微的罪行，也要挑断他的脚筋。这样盗贼虽然逐渐减少了，而所杀的人却也多得不可胜计。
郓介梁山泺，素多盗，宗孟痛治之，虽小偷微罪，亦断其足筋，盗虽为衰止，而所杀亦不可胜计矣。
Yunzhou lay between the Liangshan marshes and the Luo River, and had always been an area where bandits were active. After Pu Zongmeng took up his post there, he set about governing with a heavy hand; even for the slightest offenses, such as petty theft, he would have the tendons of the feet severed. As a result, the bandits gradually disappeared, but the number of people he killed was beyond counting.
