出為安徽布政使，與巡撫胡文伯不相能，兩江總督高晉以聞。 He was posted as Anhui provincial administration commissioner but clashed with Governor Hu Wenbo; Liangjiang Governor-General Gao Jin reported the friction to the throne.

宜賓奏言屬縣蝗見，屢請捕治，文伯執不可。 Fan Yibin reported locusts in his subordinate counties and repeatedly asked that they be destroyed, but Hu Wenbo obstinately refused.

上為黜文伯，而宜賓亦以捕蝗不力下吏議，當左遷。 The Emperor dismissed Hu Wenbo on this account, but Fan Yibin was also referred to the ministry for failing to control the locusts effectively and was due for demotion.
