上怒，褫伍拉納等職逮問，命長麟署總督，偕魁倫鞫訊，得伍拉納等貪婪及庫藏虧絀狀，俱伏法。 The emperor flew into a rage, stripped Wula Na and his associates of rank and ordered them arrested; he appointed Chang Lin acting governor-general and had him investigate jointly with Kui Lun. Their corruption and the treasury shortfalls were proved, and all were put to death.

伍拉納為和珅姻戚，當按治時，上切責長麟瞻徇，罷去，以事由魁倫舉發，特寬之，代署總督，嚴捕海盜，屢獲其魁。 Wula Na was related by marriage to Heshen. During the prosecution the emperor sharply rebuked Chang Lin for partiality and dismissed him. Because Kui Lun had brought the matter to light, he was treated with special leniency, made acting governor-general, waged a vigorous campaign against pirates, and repeatedly took their ringleaders.
