先是，四年，滎陽毛惠素爲少府卿，吏才強而治事清刻。 Earlier, in the fourth year, Mao Huisu of Xingyang served as minister of the palace supplies; he was a forceful administrator who ran affairs with austere precision.

有讒惠素納利者，世祖怒，勑尚書評賈，貴二十八萬餘，有司奏之，伏誅。 Someone accused Huisu of taking a kickback. Emperor Wu was furious and ordered the Masters of Writing to reassess the price at just over two hundred eighty thousand cash; the authorities memorialized the case, and Huisu was executed.
