A man of Qingzhou, past fifty, took a young second wife. His two sons, afraid she would give him more children, waited until their father was drunk, secretly cut off his testicles, and dusted the wound with medicine. When the father found out, he claimed to be ill and said nothing. In time the wound slowly closed. Then one day he went in to his wife. The seam of the cut burst open, the bleeding would not stop, and soon he was dead. His wife learned the cause and brought a suit before the magistrate. The magistrate put the sons in shackles, and sure enough they confessed. “So now,” he said, appalled, “I am ‘the Magistrate of Shanfu’!” He had them both executed.
