故諸葛城,有商士禹者,士人也。以醉謔忤邑豪。豪嗾家奴亂捶之。舁歸而死。禹二子,長曰臣,次曰禮。一女曰三官。三官年十六,出閣有期,以父故不果。兩兄出訟,終歲不得結。婿家遣人參母,請從權畢姻事。母將許之。女進曰:「焉有父尸未寒而行吉禮者?彼獨無父母乎?」婿家聞之,慚而止。無何,兩兄訟不得直,負屈歸。舉家悲憤。兄弟謀留父尸,張再訟之本。三官曰:「人被殺而不理,時事可知矣。天將為汝兄弟專生一閻羅包老耶?骨骸暴露,于心何忍矣。」二兄服其言,乃葬父。葬已,三官夜遁,不知所在。母慚怍,惟恐婿家知,不敢告族黨,但囑二子冥冥偵察之。幾半年,杳不可尋。
舊諸葛城裡有個叫商士禹的人,是個讀書人。他有一次喝醉了酒,說笑時得罪了當地一個豪強。那豪強唆使家奴把他一頓亂打。他被抬回家後,就死了。商士禹有兩個兒子,大兒子叫商臣,小兒子叫商禮,還有個女兒叫三官。三官當時十六歲,已經定好了出嫁的日子,因為父親遇害,婚事沒能辦成。兩個哥哥出去告狀,整整一年,案子也沒能了結。未婚夫家派人來拜見她母親,請求變通一下,把婚事辦了。母親正要答應,三官上前說:「哪有父親屍骨未寒,就辦喜事的?難道他們自己沒有父母嗎?」未婚夫家聽了,感到慚愧,就不再提這件事。不久,兩個哥哥告狀沒能討回公道,蒙著冤屈回了家。全家都又悲痛又憤怒。兄弟倆商量,想把父親的屍體留下,作為再次告狀的憑據。三官說:「人被殺了,官府卻不理會,世道怎樣,也就可想而知了。難道老天會專門為你們兄弟再造出一位像閻羅那樣的包老嗎?讓父親的遺骨暴露在外,你們心裡怎麼忍受得了?」兩個哥哥聽從了她的話,便把父親安葬了。安葬以後,三官在夜裡悄悄離家,不知去了哪裡。母親覺得羞愧,只怕未婚夫家知道,不敢告訴親族,只囑咐兩個兒子暗中打聽尋找。快半年過去了,還是一點訊息也沒有。

In the old town of Zhuge there lived a man named Shang Shiyu, a scholar. Once, when he was drunk, a joke of his gave offence to a local bully, who set his servants on him, and they beat him wildly. He was carried home and died. Shiyu had two sons, the elder named Chen and the younger Li, and a daughter named Sanguan. Sanguan was sixteen. The day had been set for her wedding, but because of her father it did not take place. Her two brothers went to law, and a whole year went by without the case being settled. The bridegroom’s family sent someone to call on her mother and ask that, given the circumstances, the marriage go ahead. Her mother was about to agree, but the girl came forward and said, “Who ever held a wedding when their father’s body was not yet cold? Have they no parents of their own?” When the bridegroom’s family heard this they were ashamed, and let it drop. Before long the two brothers lost their suit and came home with their wrongs unredressed. The whole family was full of grief and fury. The brothers planned to keep their father’s body unburied, as grounds for suing again. “A man is murdered and the courts do nothing,” said Sanguan. “That tells you what the times are like. Do you think Heaven will make a new Judge Bao, the Yama of the living, just for you two? How can you bear to leave his bones lying out?” The two brothers saw the sense of what she said, and buried their father. When the burial was done, Sanguan fled in the night, and no one knew where she had gone. Her mother was ashamed and terrified that the bridegroom’s family would find out, so she dared not tell any of their kin; she only had her two sons look for her quietly. For nearly half a year there was no trace of her.
