四年，紱入覲。 In the fourth year Fu came to court for audience.

紱過河南，詰文鏡胡為有意蹂踐士人。 When Fu passed through Henan he confronted Wenjing, asking why he deliberately abused men of learning.

文鏡因紱語，先密疏聞，謂紱與振國同年袒護。 Because of Fu's remarks, Wenjing sent a secret memorial first, claiming that Fu and Zhenguo were examination cohort-mates and that Fu was shielding him.

紱疏辨，上不直紱，而振國實未死，逮至京師，上更謂紱妄語。 Fu memorialized in his own defense, but the emperor did not take his side. Zhenguo had in fact not died; when he was brought to the capital, the emperor concluded that Fu had lied.

良輔奏雲南、廣西所屬土司與貴州接壤者，皆改歸貴州安籠鎮節制，命紱往與雲貴總督高其倬會勘，疏請循舊制，從之。 Liangfu had memorialized that native chieftains under Yunnan and Guangxi bordering Guizhou should all be placed under the Anlong garrison of Guizhou. The emperor ordered Fu to go and conduct a joint survey with Yunnan-Guizhou Governor-General Gao Qizhuo. Fu memorialized asking to follow the old arrangements, and his request was approved.

紱還直隸，時上譴責諸弟允禩、允禟等，更允禟名塞思黑，幽諸西寧，复移置保定，命胡什禮監送。 Fu returned to Zhili. At that time the emperor was censuring his brothers Yinsi, Yintang, and others; he changed Yintang's name to Seshei, confined him at Xining, then moved him to Baoding and ordered Hushili to supervise the transfer.

紱語胡什禮：「塞思黑至，當便宜行事。」 Fu told Hushili, "When Seshei arrives, act as circumstances require."

胡什禮以聞，上以為不可，命諭紱，紱奏初無此語。 Hushili reported this to the throne. The emperor found it unacceptable and ordered Fu informed. Fu memorialized that he had never said such a thing.

塞思黑至保定，未幾，紱以病聞，尋遂死。 Seshei arrived at Baoding; before long Fu reported that he was ill, and soon afterward he died.

上以濟世奏與紱語同，疑紱與為黨，召紱授工部侍郎。 Because Xie Jishi's memorial echoed Fu's earlier words, the emperor suspected Fu was in league with him and summoned Fu, appointing him vice minister of works.

紱在廣西捕亂苗莫東旺置天河縣獄，獄未竟，紱移督直隸去。 While in Guangxi, Fu had captured the rebellious Miao leader Mo Dongwang and placed him in Tianhe County prison. The case was unfinished when Fu was transferred to govern Zhili.

上以詰紱，下部察議。 The emperor questioned Fu and referred the matter to the ministry for investigation.

會都察院奏廣西州判程旦詣院訴土司羅文剛掠村落抗官兵，上責紱與繼任巡撫甘汝來逡巡貽害，命紱與汝來至廣西捕治，不獲，當重譴。 Meanwhile the Censorate reported that Guangxi Assistant Prefect Cheng Dan had come to the court to complain that native chieftain Luo Wengang had raided villages and resisted government troops. The emperor blamed Fu and his successor Governor Gan Rulai for dithering that had allowed the harm, and ordered Fu and Rulai to go to Guangxi to capture and punish the offenders; if they failed, they would face severe punishment.

紱至廣西，東旺聞而自歸，文剛亦捕得。 When Fu reached Guangxi, Dongwang heard of his arrival and surrendered of his own accord, and Wengang was captured as well.

直隸總督宜兆熊劾知府曾逢聖、知縣王遊虧空錢糧，上以逢聖、遊皆紱所薦，命詰紱。 Zhili Governor-General Yi Zhaoxiong impeached Prefect Zeng Fengsheng and Magistrate Wang You for deficits in tax grain. Because both men had been recommended by Fu, the emperor ordered Fu questioned.

戶部議覆，紱在直隸奏報懷來倉圮，穀為小民竊食，當下直隸總督詳察。 The Ministry of Revenue deliberated and replied that while in Zhili Fu had reported the collapse of the Huailai granary and claimed the grain had been stolen and eaten by commoners; the Zhili governor-general should be ordered to investigate in detail.

明系紱市恩，為縣吏脫罪。 Clearly Fu was currying favor and shielding the county officials from punishment.

當責紱償補，以成其市恩。」 Fu should be made to make restitution himself, to complete his act of favor-seeking."

兆熊又劾知縣李先枝私派累民，上以先枝亦紱所薦，責紱欺罔，奪官； Yi Zhaoxiong also impeached Magistrate Li Xianzhi for unauthorized levies that burdened the people. Because Li Xianzhi had also been recommended by Fu, the emperor charged Fu with deception and dismissed him;

下刑部、議政大臣等會鞫，紱罪凡二十一事，當斬。 the case was referred to the Ministry of Punishments and the deliberating ministers for joint trial. Fu was found guilty on twenty-one counts, for which the penalty was death.

上諭曰：「紱既知悔過，情詞懇切，且其學問尚優，命免死，纂修八旗通志效力。」 The emperor ruled, "Fu has shown repentance and his words are earnest; moreover, his learning is still considerable. He is spared death and ordered to serve on the compilation of the Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Eight Banners."
