四十六年，复南巡，至蘇州，諭從臣曰：「朕聞張伯行居官甚清，最不易得。」 In 1707, on another southern tour, the emperor reached Suzhou and told his attendants, "I have heard Zhang Boxing is exceptionally clean in office—the rarest of qualities."

上見伯行曰：「朕久識汝，朕自舉之。 The emperor told him, "I have known you a long time. I will recommend you myself.

會布政使宜思恭以司庫虧空為總督噶禮劾罷，上遣尚書張鵬翮按治。 Provincial Treasurer Yi Sigong was impeached and dismissed by Governor-General Gali for treasury shortfalls, and the emperor sent Minister Zhang Penghe to investigate.

伯行疏上聞，上命鵬翮並按。 Boxing reported directly to the throne, and the emperor ordered Penghe to investigate as well.

別疏陳噶禮異議狀，上諭廷臣曰：「覽伯行此疏，知與噶禮不和。 In a separate memorial he described Gali's opposition. The emperor told the court, "This memorial shows Boxing and Gali are at odds.

伯行尋乞病，上不許。 Boxing soon asked to retire on grounds of illness, but the emperor refused.

上曰：「江南虧空錢糧，非官吏侵蝕。 The emperor said, "Jiangnan's tax shortfalls were not caused by embezzlement.

伯行又疏奏各府州縣無著錢糧十萬八千，上命並予豁免。 Boxing also reported 108,000 taels in unallocated taxes across the province, and the emperor ordered them all remitted.

上命俱解任，鵬翮等尋奏晉與泌、光奎通賄俱實，擬罪如律； Both were suspended. Penghe reported that Zhao Jin, Wu Mi, and Cheng Guangkui had indeed taken bribes and proposed legal punishment;

上切責鵬翮等掩飾，更命尚書穆和倫、張廷樞覆按，仍如前議。 The emperor sharply rebuked them for covering up the facts and sent Ministers Mu Helun and Zhang Tingshu to reinvestigate, but they returned the same verdict.

上曰：「伯行居官清正，天下所知。 The emperor said, "Everyone knows Boxing is upright in office.

五十二年，江蘇布政使缺員，伯行疏薦福建布政使李發甲、台灣道陳瑸、前祭酒余正健，上已以湖北按察使牟欽元擢任。 In 1713 the Jiangsu provincial treasurer post fell vacant. Boxing recommended Li Fajia, Chen Bin, and Yu Zhengjian, but the emperor had already appointed Mou Qinyuan from Hubei.

上命總督赫壽察審，赫壽庇令濤，以通賊無證聞； The emperor ordered Governor Hesou to investigate. Hesou protected Lingtao and reported no evidence of collusion with pirates;

上命復審，且命伯行自陳，伯行疏言：「元隆通賊，雖報身故，而金多黨眾，人人可以冒名，處處可以領照。 The emperor ordered a new inquiry and asked Boxing to defend himself. Boxing wrote, "Yuanlong colluded with pirates. Though reported dead, his wealth and network mean anyone can use his name and obtain licenses anywhere.

既命解任，鵬翮等仍以伯行誣陷良民、挾詐欺公，論斬，法司議如所擬，上免其罪，命伯行來京。 Though dismissed, Penghe still charged him with framing innocent men and deceiving the public, proposing execution. The judiciary agreed, but the emperor spared him and summoned him to the capital.
