《太平广记·卷一百一十五·报应十》
含光起初很害怕，后渐渐偷看，院中有二十八个妇人，红衣吏各让她们解开发髻两两相结，投到釜中，冤枉痛楚之声，几里外都能听到，火灭才离去。
含光初甚怖惧，后稍窃视，院中都有二十八妇人，绯衣各令解髻两两结，投釜中，冤楚之声，闻乎数里，火灭乃去。
At first, Hanguang was very scared, but after a while, he peeped out. There were twenty-eight women in the yard. The red-clothed officials asked them to untie their hair and tie them together in pairs, and throw them into the cauldron. The sound of grievances and pains could be heard for several li, and when the fire was extinguished, they left.
