總督孔毓珣與巡撫楊文乾不相能，以師儉署鹽法道，欲引以為助。 Governor Kong Yuxun and Governor Yang Wenqian were at loggerheads; Yuxun placed Shijian in charge of the salt administration, hoping to win him as an ally.

文乾疑為毓珣黨，令買銅，將以賠累困之。 Wenqian suspected him of siding with Yuxun and ordered him to buy copper, planning to ruin him with indemnity claims.

明年，文乾入覲，上示以毓珣彈事，亦及師儉，乃知師儉非阿毓珣者。 The following year Wenqian came to court; the emperor showed him Yuxun's impeachment memorial, which also named Shijian, and Wenqian realized Shijian had not been currying favor with Yuxun.

令署按察使，毓珣又疑師儉暱文乾。 The court ordered Shijian to serve as acting judicial commissioner; Yuxun now suspected him of being close to Wenqian.

及文乾卒，劾師儉違禁開礦，侵蝕銅價。 After Wenqian's death, Yuxun impeached Shijian for illegally opening mines and embezzling funds from the copper purchases.
