《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十三》
成帝听说后，更加怒不可遏，就派尚书去责问司隶校尉和京兆尹；明知成都侯王商等奢侈、僭越等种种不轨行为，甚至窝藏坏人，却都阿谀纵容，不举奏揭发，将他们绳之以法。
上闻之，大怒，乃使尚书责问司隶校尉、京兆尹，知成都侯商等奢僭不轨，藏匿奸猾，皆阿纵，不举奏正法；二人顿首省户下。
Having heard of this, Emperor Cheng became even more enraged. He sent imperial secretaries to interrogate the governor of the capital and the commandant of the capital city. Despite being aware of Chengdu Marquess Wang Shang's licentiousness, audacious behaviour and various other felonies including harbouring criminals, they had both curried favour with him, turned a blind eye to his crimes and failed to report him, allowing him to escape justice.
