I have merely heard of killing a villain Zhou, but I have not heard of murdering the ruler.

The Mencius
Context: He who outrages benevolence is called a ruffian: he who outrages righteousness is called a villain. I have heard of the cutting off of the villain Chow, but I have not heard of the putting of a ruler to death.
