Feng Qin said: "Your Majesty, Geng Zhong, the son of the general, is despicable and shameless. He deceived the emperor and turned against his superiors. He actually joined forces with the Yongnu marquis and bandits to smuggle iron items and sell them to the Xiongnu. This is simply lawless! According to the law, he should be dismissed from all official positions, confiscated his family property, and exiled to the northern border to raise horses!"
Emperor Jianwu said: "Geng Zhong, is what Shangshu Ling said true?"
Geng Zhong said: "It's all true."
Emperor Jianwu said: "I will fine you half a day's salary. Go back and rest."
