湖廣巡撫張汧亦明珠私人，先是命色楞額往讞上荊南道祖澤深婪贓各款，並察汧有無穢跡，色楞額悉爲庇隱。 Huguang Governor Zhang Gan was another of Mingzhu's clients; Selenge had earlier been sent to try Zu Zeshen, intendant of Jingnan Circuit, on charges of corruption and to look into Zhang Gan as well, but Selenge covered up everything.

御史陳紫芝劾汧貪黷，命副都御史開音布會巡撫於成龍、馬齊覆訊，汧、澤深事倶實，復得澤深交結大學士餘國柱爲囑色楞額徇庇及汧遣人赴京行賄狀，下法司嚴議。 Censor Chen Zizhi impeached Zhang Gan for corruption; Vice Censor-in-Chief Kaiyinbu was sent with Governors Yu Chenglong and Ma Qi to reinvestigate; both men's guilt was confirmed, and investigators also uncovered Zeshen's dealings with Grand Secretary Yu Guozhu to secure Selenge's protection and Zhang Gan's bribery agents in the capital; the judiciary was ordered to rule severely.

時國柱已爲琇劾罷，法司請檄追質訊，並詰汧行賄何人，汧指乾學。 Yu Guozhu had already been impeached out of office by Guo Xiu; the judiciary asked to summon him for questioning and pressed Zhang Gan on who had received his bribes; Gan named Qianxue.

於是但論汧、澤深、色楞額如律，事遂寢。 Only Zhang Gan, Zu Zeshen, and Selenge were punished according to law, and the affair was closed.

前任湖北巡撫張汧橫肆汙衊，縁臣爲憲長，拒其幣問，是以銜憾誣攀。 Former Huguang Governor Zhang Gan has slandered me wantonly; as his superior in the censorate I refused his gifts, and he bears a grudge and has falsely dragged me in.

副都御史許三禮劾乾學：「律身不嚴，爲張汧所引。 Vice Censor-in-Chief Xu Sanli impeached Qianxue: "He has not kept his conduct strict and was named by Zhang Gan.

二十七年，山東巡撫張汧以齎銀赴京行賄事發，逮治，獄辭渉士奇。 In year 27 Shandong Governor Zhang Qian was caught bringing silver to Beijing to bribe officials; when the case broke he was arrested, and the testimony implicated Gao Shiqi.

張汧無端疑怨，含沙汚衊，臣將無以自明，幸賴聖明在上，誣構難施。 Zhang Qian nursed groundless resentment and smeared me with innuendo; I could not have cleared my name but for the emperor's clear judgment, which thwarted the slander.

上聞疑之，命世隆往按，發仲舉與前布政使張汧竄改賦冊、侵隱已徵額銀捏作民欠，又汧遷湖廣巡撫虧福建庫帑三十餘萬，仲舉前任湖南布政亦虧帑，相約互抵； The emperor grew suspicious and sent Shilong to investigate. He found that Zhongju and former Administration Commissioner Zhang Qian had altered tax registers, concealed collected revenues, and fabricated popular arrears; Zhang Qian, now Huguang governor, had left Fujian's treasury short more than three hundred thousand taels, and Zhongju had done the same in Hunan—they had agreed to cover for each other;

嗣仲舉聞汧以贓敗，而福建庫尚未完，飭屬代為彌縫，左證悉合。 and when Zhang Qian fell on corruption charges while Fujian's books were still short, Zhongju ordered subordinates to paper over the gap—all evidence aligned.

初命侍郎色楞額往按上荊南道祖澤深，並令察汧，色楞額曲庇，不以實陳。 Initially Vice Minister Selenge had been sent to investigate Shangjing Circuit Intendant Zu Zeshen and also to examine Zhang Han; Selenge covered for them and did not report truthfully.

馬齊與成龍覆按，具得汧、澤深貪墨狀，並色楞額論罪如律。 Ma Qi and Yu Chenglong reinvestigated, fully established Zhang Han's and Zu Zeshen's corruption, and Selenge was punished by law.
