時相州刺史奚康生徵民歲調，皆七八十尺，以邀奉公之譽。 At that time Xi Kangsheng, Inspector of Xiangzhou, collected the annual levy from the people in bolts of seventy or eighty chi each, seeking a reputation for scrupulous devotion to the state.

同乃舉按康生度外徵調。 Tong then impeached Kangsheng for collecting levies beyond the statutory quota.

書奏，詔科康生之罪，兼褒同在公之績。 When the memorial reached the throne, an edict convicted Kangsheng and at the same time commended Tong's service to the public good.
