唐武德中。印人姓韋。與一婦人。言誓期不相負。累年寵衰。婦人怨恨。韋懼其反己自縊殺之。後數日韋身遍癢。因發癩瘡而死。韋孝諧說向臨云。是某從兄（右一驗出冥報記）。

During the Wude era of the Tang, there was a seal-carver surnamed Wei. He made an oath with a woman, pledging never to betray each other. Over the years, his favor waned, and the woman harbored resentment. Fearing she would turn against him, Wei strangled her to death. Several days later, Wei's entire body itched, and he died from the outbreak of leprous sores. Wei Xiaoxie told Xianglin, saying, 'He was my cousin.' (This one verification is from the Mingbao ji.)
