说杀害无罪之人是有威风，横征暴敛是有办法，认为以身作则安民是庸弱无能，认为奉公守法按法办事是呆板不灵活。
谓杀害不辜为威风，聚敛整辨为贤能，以理已安民为劣弱，以奉法循理为不化。
To say that killing innocent people is heroic, extending taxes and extorting money is skillful, thinking that leading others by example to appease people is incompetent, thinking that obeying the laws and acting in accordance with the law is inflexible and not agile.
