內監鄂羅哩者，自乾隆中充近侍，年七十馀，嘗至朝廊與廣興坐語，以長者自居。 The eunuch Eluoli had attended the throne since the Qianlong years, was over seventy, and once came to the court corridor to sit and chat with Guang Xing, comporting himself as an elder.

鄂羅哩恨次骨，思以中之。 Eluoli hated him to the bone and plotted to ruin him.

十三年冬，內庫給宮中段不如數，且窳敗，鄂羅哩言由廣興剋減，上即命傳諭，出而漫言之，廣興不知為上旨，坐而與辯。 In the winter of the thirteenth year the inner treasury delivered palace silks short in count and poor in quality. Eluoli blamed Guang Xing for skimping. The emperor ordered a message delivered at once; Eluoli repeated it casually outside. Guang Xing did not know it was imperial instruction and sat arguing with him.

鄂羅哩入奏其坐聽諭旨，上怒，一日，面詰廣興，廣興言總管太監孫進忠與庫官勾通，欲交外省織造，藉遂需索規費之計。 Eluoli entered and reported that Guang Xing had remained seated while the edict was read. The emperor raged. One day he confronted Guang Xing directly; Guang Xing said Superintendent Eunuch Sun Jinzhong had colluded with treasury clerks, meant to shift weaving to outside contractors, and thus engineered extortion of customary fees.
