河南軍士孫進自稱「皇弟按察大王」，熙宗疑「皇弟」二字或在常勝也，使特思鞫之，無狀。 Sun Jin, a soldier in Henan, called himself "Younger Brother, Inspector King." Xizong wondered whether "younger brother" meant Changsheng and set Tesi to question him; nothing was proved.

特思乃嘗疑海陵與唐括辯時時竊議，告之悼後者。 Tesi had long suspected Hailing and Tangguo Bian of meeting in secret, and had told Empress Dowager Dao.

特思鞫不以實，故出之矣。」 Tesi’s inquiry did not get at the truth, and so he was let go."

熙宗以為然，使唐括辯、蕭肄按問特思，特思自誣服，故出常勝罪。 Xizong agreed and set Tangguo Bian and Xiao Yi to press Tesi; Tesi confessed under torture, and Changsheng was condemned.

於是，乃殺常勝及其弟查刺，並殺特思。 Then they killed Changsheng and his brother Chaci, and killed Tesi too.
