《宋史·本纪·卷四十三》
先是起居舍人牟子才与萧泰来一起授官，牟子才四次上疏辞免，极陈萧泰来奸险污秽，耻与为伍，萧泰来不得已请求祠官，于是出知地方官。
先是，起居舍人牟子才与泰来并除，子才四疏辞，极陈泰来奸险汙秽，耻与为伍，泰来不得已，请祠，遂予郡。
At first, Official in Charge of Ceremonies at the Imperial Palace Mou Zicai and Xiao Tailai were appointed as officials, and Mou Zicai wrote four memorials to ask to resign, strenuously explaining that Xiao Tailai was treacherous and corrupt, and that he felt ashamed to be associated with him. Xiao Tailai was forced to ask for a sinecure appointment out of shame, and so he then went to serve as prefect of a local government.
