相州吏人素怀其恩，诣阙理胄者百馀人，胄竟坐除名，配防岭南，道病卒。
The officials and local people of Xiangzhou, cherishing his past favors, approach the imperial court to say good things on his behalf, totaling over a hundred people. Ultimately, Xue Zhong is still implicated and stripped of his official title, demoted and banished to Lingnan, dying on the way due to illness.
