《孔子家语·曲礼子夏问》
孔子在正室厅堂哭起来。有人来慰问，孔子拜谢。哭过之后，让使者进来问子路死的情况。使者说： 已经被砍成肉酱了。 
既而卫使至，曰： 子路死焉。 夫子哭之于中庭，有人吊者，而夫子拜之，已哭，进使者而问故，使者曰： 醢之矣。 
Confucius wailed in his front hall. Someone came to offer his condolences, and Confucius bowed in thanks. After he had finished wailing, he had the messenger brought in to ask about Zi Lu’s death. The messenger said, “He was hacked to pieces.”
