是時河南、河內太守皆御史大夫杜父兄子弟也，河東太守石丞相子孫也。 At that time, the governors of Henan and Henei were all kinsmen—fathers, brothers, sons, and nephews—of Grand Censor Du, and the Governor of Hedong was a descendant of the former Chancellor Shi.

杜大夫及石氏使人謝，謂田少卿曰：「吾非敢有語言也，願少卿無相誣汙也。」 Grand Censor Du and the Shi clan sent intermediaries to plead with him, telling Tian Ren: "We would not dare utter a word against you. We only hope that you will not level false accusations against us."
