十三年，太府監令史盧贄言於監官：「各路所貢布長三丈，唯平陽加一丈，諸怯薛歹以故爭取平陽布。 In the thirteenth year the Taifu Directorate clerk Lu Zan told his supervisor, "Each circuit's tribute cloth is three zhang long, but Pingyang's is one zhang longer, so the imperial guards all scramble for Pingyang cloth.

適左右以其事聞，帝以詰監官，監官倉皇莫知所以對，歸罪於贄，帝命斬之。 Attendants soon reported the matter to the emperor, who questioned the supervisor. Flustered and unable to answer, the supervisor blamed Zan, and the emperor ordered Zan executed.

希亮遇諸塗，贄以寃告。 Xiliang met him on the road, and Zan pleaded that he had been wronged.

竟釋贄，而召御史大夫塔察兒等讓之曰：「此事言官當言而不言，向微禿忽思，不誤誅此人耶！」 Zan was released in the end, and the censor-in-chief Tachar and others were summoned and rebuked: "The remonstrating officials should have spoken up on this. Had it not been for Tuhusi, would we not have executed an innocent man!"
