Wan-li: Year 31, Month 11, Day 12
14 Dec 1603
The Fu-jian mining taxation Eunuch Director Gao Cai had, on receipt of Imperial orders, sent officers across the sea and they had ascertained that Ji-yi did not produce gold and silver. Thus he submitted impeachments against the evil person Zhang Yi and the Company Commander Yan Ying-long for submitting a false memorial. It was Imperially commanded that, as Zhang Yi had made wild claims, the Eunuch Gao Cai was, together with the grand coordinator and the regional inspector, to send officers to arrest him and send him to the capital, and that he be subject to investigation together with the Company Commander Yan Ying-long.
