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.
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.
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.
上奪濟世官，下大學士九卿會鞫，戍濟世阿爾泰軍前。
The emperor stripped Xie Jishi of office, referred the case to the grand secretaries and Nine Chief Ministers for joint trial, and banished him to serve before the army in Altai.
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.
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.
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.
上曰：「穀至六千餘石，豈能竊食至盡？
The emperor said, "More than 6,000 shi of grain—how could commoners have stolen and eaten it all?
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;
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."
