上親廷訊,尚欲緩其獄,廣興未省上意,抗辯無引罪語,而贓私有實據,上益怒,遂置之法,籍其家,子蘊秀戍吉林,並罪兩省官吏及山東言官各有差。 The emperor tried him in open court and still meant to soften the sentence. Guang Xing failed to read his mood and argued without a word of repentance; yet the proof of graft was solid. The emperor’s wrath deepened; Guang Xing was executed, his estate confiscated, his son Yunxiu exiled to Jilin, and officials of both provinces and Shandong censors punished in varying degrees.
