《后汉书·列传·独行列传》
囚犯的家人守在宫门上喊冤，诏令复查，周燕见太守道 ：望你把文书注意写好，都写着我的名字，府君只说那时你有病罢了。 
囚家守阙称冤，诏遣复考。燕见太守曰： 愿谨定文书，皆著燕名，府君但言时病而已。 
The prisoner’s family members gathered at the palace gates to call out for a redress of grievances, and an edict was issued to investigate the matter anew. Zhou Yan said to the prefect: “I hope you will exercise care in writing the report. Each word should say that I did it, and the prefect should only say that you were ill at the time.”
