而御史大夫張湯方貴用事，減宣、杜周等為中丞，義縱、尹齊、王溫舒等用急刻為九卿，直指夏蘭之屬始出。 At this time the Censor-in-Chief Zhang Tang was powerful and in charge of affairs. Jian Xuan and Du Zhou served as Palace Assistant Censors; Yi Zong, Yin Qi, Wang Wenshu, and others, who used harsh severity, became Nine Ministers; and direct investigators such as Xia Lan first appeared.
