尋汪志伊來為總督，與布政使李賡芸不合，因訐告受賂，劾治，屬吏希指羅織，賡芸憤而自縊。 Before long Wang Zhiyi arrived as governor-general. He clashed with Administration Commissioner Li Gengyun, denounced him for taking bribes, and had him impeached and prosecuted. Subordinate officials took the hint and fabricated charges against him, and Gengyun hanged himself in despair.
