其年秋，東川節度使董璋上言：「毛璋男廷贇齎父書往西川，慮有陰事。」 That autumn, Dong Zhang, military commissioner of Dongchuan, memorialized: "Mao Zhang's son Tingyun is carrying a letter from his father to western Sichuan, and I fear some covert design lies behind the journey."

因追廷贇及同行人趙延祚，與璋俱下御史台獄。 On that basis Tingyun and his traveling companion Zhao Yanzuo were seized, and Mao Zhang was imprisoned by the censorate as well.

廷贇乃璋之假侄，稱有叔在蜀，欲往省之，亦無私書，詔停任，令歸私第。 Tingyun was Zhang's adoptive nephew. He said he had an uncle in Shu whom he wished to visit, and no secret letter was found. An edict relieved Zhang of his post and ordered him home.

東川董璋上書言璋遣子廷赟持書往西川，疑其有奸。 Dong Zhang of Dongchuan wrote that Zhang had sent his son Tingyun west to Xichuan with a letter, and suspected treason.

明宗乃遣人追還廷赟，並璋下御史獄。 Mingzong sent men to bring Tingyun back and threw Zhang into the censor’s prison.

廷赟款稱實璋假子，有叔父在蜀，欲往省之，而無私書。 Tingyun confessed he was Zhang’s adopted son. He had an uncle in Shu and meant only to visit him. There was no secret letter.

初，廷赟之蜀，與其客趙延祚俱，及召下獄，延祚多捃璋陰事欲言之，璋許延祚重賂以滅口。 When Tingyun first went to Shu his guest Zhao Yanzuo went with him. When both were called in and jailed, Yanzuo collected Zhang’s hidden deeds and meant to speak. Zhang promised him a heavy bribe to stay silent.
