時有爭常州田萬四千畝，平江亦數百畝，株逮百餘人，視其牘，乃趙善湘之子汝櫄、汝榟也，州縣不敢決，昌裔連疏劾罷之。 At the time a dispute arose over fourteen thousand mu of land in Changzhou and several hundred mu in Pingjiang, implicating more than a hundred people. When he examined the documents, he found that the claimants were Zhao Shanxiang's sons Ruchao and Ruzi. The prefecture and county dared not decide the case, so Changyi submitted successive memorials impeaching them until they were removed from office.
