二十二年，太監李萇材、張受山構眾擊殺捕者，嚴旨付部議。 In Guangxu 22 (1896) the eunuchs Li Changcai and Zhang Shoushan rallied a crowd and killed the arresting officers; a stern edict ordered the Board of Punishments to deliberate.

復奏請處斬張受山，至李萇材傷人未死，量減為斬監候，從之。 He memorialized again to execute Zhang Shoushan; for Li Changcai, since his victims were wounded but not killed, the sentence was reduced to beheading with imprisonment awaiting review, which was approved.
