華亭知縣鄭友元已入為御史，先任青浦，逋金花銀二千九百。 Zheng Youyuan, magistrate of Huating, had already entered the capital as a censor; he had previously served in Qingpu and was in arrears on golden-flower silver by 2,900 taels.

帝以詰戶部，自嚴言友元已輸十之七貯太倉。 The emperor questioned the Ministry of Revenue; Ziyan said Youyuan had already paid seven-tenths, stored in the Taicang treasury.

自嚴飾詞辨，帝益怒，遂下自嚴獄，遣使逮友元。 Ziyan argued with polished words; the emperor grew angrier, imprisoned Ziyan, and sent envoys to arrest Youyuan.
