《魏书·列传·卷四十八》
而今州郡牧守，为邀当时之名，而行一切之法；台阁百官，也都以严酷为无私，以仁恕为纵容盗奸。
今州郡牧守，邀当时之名，行一切之法；台阁百官，亦咸以深酷为无私，以仁恕为容盗。
Nowadays, while prefects of the states and counties, in order to seek a name for the time being, resort to all types of laws; while most of the officials in the central government also regard strictness as selfless and leniency as shield for trickery.
