景思部下有仆夫，希求無厭，雖委曲待之，不滿其心，一日拂衣而去，見宏肇，言景思受淮南厚賂，私貯器械，欲為內應。 Among Jinsi's followers was a servant whose greed knew no bounds. Though Jinsi treated him with every consideration, the man was never satisfied. One day he stormed off and went to Hongzhao, accusing Jinsi of taking heavy bribes from Huainan, secretly hoarding arms, and plotting to act as an inside collaborator.
