郑文公 / Duke Wen of Zheng appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢（2） as a comparison case for politically directed killing. The source says he used bandits to murder his own son, helping the episode argue that “盗贼” in historical writing may sometimes name the visible killers while concealing elite authorship.
