《史记·七十列传·酷吏列传》
有关此事的供辞被皇上听到了，皇上向张汤说： 我所要做的事，商人则预先知道此事，越发囤积那些货物，这好象有人把我的想法告诉了他们一样。 
事辞颇闻。上问汤曰： 吾所为，贾人辄先知之，益居其物，是类有以吾谋告之者。 
The confession related to this matter was heard by the emperor, who said to Zhang Tang: What I am going to do is known to merchants in advance, and those goods are hoarded more and more, as if someone told them what I think.
