時戸部郎中色楞額往福建稽察鼓鑄，請禁用明代舊錢，尚書科爾坤、餘國柱等議如所請。 Selenge, a director in the Ministry of Revenue, was then inspecting minting in Fujian and asked to outlaw Ming-era coin; Ministers Kelun, Yu Guozhu, and others agreed with his proposal.

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.

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.

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.
