Entry

The minister Liang Wen-xuan, who had been sent by the country of Java, came to offer tribute of local products and anchored at Guang-hai Guard in Guang-dong. There was a person called Duan Zhen, who frequently sailed the seas seeking ill-gotten gains. He knew Wen-xuan and lured him into parting with all the surplus goods he had brought. Then he guided Wen-xuan's ship to anchor at Chao-zhou port. The commander Zhou Yue was sent to seal and take stock of the cargo, but Yue privately retained another 100-plus jin of tortoise-shell. The regional inspector advised of this. It was ordered that Yue be arrested and investigated. As Zhen had long been making ill-gotten gains, he was sent to the Wei-yuan Guard at Da-tong as a soldier.
