百齡以禮壩之決，由於河督陳鳳翔急開遲閉，以致棘手，奏劾之。 Bai Ling blamed the Li dam breach on Canal Director Chen Fengxiang opening it too soon and closing it too late, and impeached him.

鳳翔被嚴譴，訴道廳請開禮壩時，百齡同批允； Fengxiang was severely rebuked. He appealed that when the circuit office had asked to open the Li dam, Bai Ling had approved it in the same batch.

時兩江總督百齡劾南河總督陳鳳翔誤啟智、禮兩壩，鳳翔已被譴，自訴辯，又訐百齡信任鹽巡道硃爾賡額督辦葦蕩失當，命彭齡、松筠往按。 Liangjiang Governor-General Bai Ling then impeached Southern Canal Governor-General Chen Fengxiang for wrongly opening the Zhi and Li barrages. Fengxiang had already been censured, argued in his defense, and accused Bai Ling of trusting Salt Patrol Commissioner Zhu Ergeng’e to oversee reed marshes improperly; Pengling and Songyun were ordered to investigate.

時河督陳鳳翔為百齡所劾，自訴於朝，命尚書松筠、侍郎初彭齡按訊，牽及葦蕩事。 River Superintendent Chen Fengxiang, whom Bailin had impeached, appealed to the throne. Ministers Songyun and Vice Minister Chu Pengling were ordered to investigate, and the reed-marsh affair was dragged into the case.

硃爾賡額因百齡前劾鳳翔詞不盡實，獄無結正，原以身任，遂不辯。 Because Bailin's earlier impeachment of Fengxiang had not been fully truthful and the case could not be properly closed, Zhu Ergenge was willing to bear the blame himself and made no defense.
