金壇知縣任體坤集縣中士大夫王重、袁大受等謀遣諸生十輩詣鎮江乞緩兵。 Jintan's magistrate Ren Tikun gathered local scholars Wang Chong, Yuan Dashou, and others to send ten parties of students to Zhenjiang to beg for a ceasefire.

喀喀木等擊敗成功，體坤乃復至縣，賂重、大受謁大吏，謂士民送款，冀掩棄城罪。 After Kekemu and the others routed Chenggong, Tikun returned to his post and bribed Chong and Dashou to lobby the senior officials, claiming the local elite had submitted in order to hide his own crime of deserting the county.

重、大受居鄉多不法，為諸生所撓。 Chong and Dashou had long bullied their home districts, and the students had stood in their way.

時侍郎尼滿奉詔勘提督馬逢知獄，命即訊，乃坐重、大受及諸士大夫集議者。 Vice Minister Niman had been sent by imperial order to investigate Governor-General Ma Fengzhi's case and was told to try this one immediately; he convicted Chong, Dashou, and the scholars who had joined the deliberations.
