儉在尚書省，出巾箱机案雜服飾，令學士隷事，事多者與之，人人各得一兩物，澄後來，更出諸人所不知事復各數條，幷奪物將去。 When Jian was in the Masters of Writing office, he brought out kerchief-boxes, desk items, and miscellaneous garments and ornaments and had the scholars record them; those who identified the most received rewards, and each person got one or two objects. Cheng arrived later, identified several more items in each category that none of the others knew, and also took objects away with him.
揚州主簿顧測以兩奴就鮮質錢，鮮死，子暉誣爲賣券，澄爲中丞，測與書相往反，後又牋與太守蕭緬云：「澄欲遂子弟之非，未近義方之訓，此趨販所不爲，況搢紳領袖，儒宗勝達乎？」 Gu Ce, Chief Clerk of Yangzhou, pledged two slaves with Xian for a loan. When Xian died, his son Hui falsely claimed they had been sold outright. Cheng, as Imperial Censor, exchanged letters with Ce, who later also wrote to Grand Administrator Xiao Mian: "Cheng wishes to indulge his kinsmen's wrongdoing and shows no regard for righteous teaching—this is what peddlers would not do, how much less a leader of the gentry and an eminent Confucian scholar?"
