紅陽侯立坐子受長貨賂故就國耳，非大逆也，而方進復奏立黨友後將軍朱博、巨鹿太守孫宏、故少府陳咸，皆免官，歸咸故郡。 Wang Li, marquis of Hongyang, was punished because his son accepted Chang's bribes and therefore went to his fief—this was not great treason. Yet Fangjin again memorialized against Li's partisan associates: Rear General Zhu Bo, Administrator of Julu Sun Hong, and former Chamberlain for the Palace Revenues Chen Xian. All were dismissed, and Chen Xian was sent to his native commandery.

刑罰無平，在方進之筆端，眾庶莫不疑惑，皆言孫宏不與紅陽侯相愛。 Punishment lacked fairness—it lay at the tip of Fangjin's brush. The common people were all puzzled and said Sun Hong was not on friendly terms with the marquis of Hongyang.

宏前為中丞時，方進為御史大夫，舉掾隆可侍御史，宏奉隆前奉使欺謾，不宜執法近侍，方進以此怨宏。 When Sun Hong had earlier been imperial secretary, Fangjin was imperial counselor and recommended the clerk Long as attendant imperial secretary. Hong upheld that Long had earlier deceived on a mission and was unfit to enforce the law in close attendance; Fangjin resented Hong for this.

不知而白之，是背經術惑左道也：二者皆在大辟，重於朱博、孫宏、陳咸所坐。 if he did not know and nevertheless reported it, then he abandoned classical learning and misled the court with heterodox arts. Either offense deserves capital punishment and is graver than the charges for which Zhu Bo, Sun Hong, and Chen Xian were punished.
