《明史·志·卷七十》
皇帝说： 审理罪案是大事，《周书》记载： 要犯，对其判罪要反复考虑五六天到十天 ，只是就案子详情不明者而言的。
帝曰： 刑狱重事，《周书》曰： 要囚，服念五六日至于旬时 ，特为未得其情者言耳。
The emperor said: The trial of criminal cases is a major event. It is recorded in the "Book of Zhou": For serious crimes, it is necessary to consider the conviction repeatedly for five or six days to ten days, which is only true for cases whose details are unknown.
