時博州刺史瑯邪王沖，責息錢於貴鄉，遣家奴督斂，與尉顏餘慶相聞知，奴自市弓矢還。 The prefect of Bozhou, Prince Chong of Langye, was collecting interest in Guixiang and sent a household slave to press payment. The assistant magistrate Yan Yuqing knew of this, and the slave bought bows and arrows on his own.

會沖坐逆誅，魏州人告餘慶豫沖謀，後令俊臣鞫治，以反狀聞。 When Chong was executed for treason, men of Weizhou reported that Yuqing had foreknown the plot. The empress ordered Lai Junchen to investigate and reported a finding of treason.

侍御史魏元忠謂：「餘慶為沖督償、通書，合謀明甚，非曰支黨，請殊死，籍其家。」 Attending Censor Wei Yuanzhong argued: "Yuqing collected debts for Chong and exchanged letters—the conspiracy is clear. He is no mere follower. I request execution and confiscation of his property."
