怡親王載垣等會鞫，謂司員忠麟、王熙震以短號鈔兌換長號，曾面啟心存，心存回奏部院事非一二人所能專政，斷無立談數語改舊章之理。 At trial Prince Yi Zaiyuan's faction claimed clerks Zhonglin and Wang Xizhen swapped short for long banknotes after briefing Xincun; Xincun replied that revenue policy was not decided in a hallway chat.

載垣等遂請褫頂帶歸案訊質，文宗鑑其誣，僅以失察議處，免傳訊，議降五級，改俟補官，革職留任。 They demanded his arrest; Xianfeng saw the frame-up and only punished lax oversight—no interrogation, a five-rank demotion, then retention in post pending reassignment.
