舜陟大怒，摭秦琥事，移荔浦丞康寧以代登，登以母病去。 Shunzhi was furious, seized on the Qin Hu affair, transferred Lipu assistant magistrate Kang Ning to replace Deng, and Deng left because of his mother's illness.

舜陟遣健卒捕登，屬登母死舟中，藁葬水次，航海詣闕上書，求納官贖罪，帝閔之。 Shunzhi sent strong soldiers to arrest Deng. Deng's mother died on the boat; he buried her in a simple rite at the water's edge, sailed to court to submit a memorial, and asked to surrender his office to redeem his guilt. The emperor pitied him.

登歸葬其母，訖事詣獄，而舜陟先以事下獄死矣，事卒昭白。 Deng returned to bury his mother. When the rites were finished he went to prison, but Shunzhi had already been imprisoned on other charges and died. The matter was finally cleared.

登事其母至孝，舟行至封、康間，阻風，方念無以奉晨膳，忽有白魚躍於前。 Deng served his mother with supreme filial piety. Traveling by boat between Feng and Kang, he was blocked by wind and worried he had nothing for her morning meal when a white fish suddenly leaped before him.
