謁居病臥閭里主人，湯自往視病，為謁居摩足，趙國以冶鑄為業，王數訟鐵官事，湯常排趙王。 When Yéju fell ill and lodged with a neighbor, Tang visited him in person and massaged his feet. The kingdom of Zhao lived by its foundries; its king repeatedly sued the monopoly officials, and Tang as a rule ruled against the king.

趙王求湯陰事。 The King of Zhao set out to dig up dirt on Tang.

謁居嘗案趙王，趙王怨之，並上書告：「湯大臣也，史謁居有病，湯至為摩足，疑與為大奸。」 Yéju had once prosecuted the king, who nursed a grudge. The king now sent up a joint memorial: "Zhang Tang is a chief minister; when his clerk Yéju fell ill, Tang actually massaged the man's feet—clear evidence of some monstrous conspiracy between them."
