二十四年，湘潭民與江西客民閧，相殺傷，巡撫吳邦慶亦籍江西，陳奏偏袒。 In the twenty-fourth year locals in Xiangtan clashed with migrant settlers from Jiangxi, leaving casualties; Governor Wu Bangqing, himself a Jiangxi native, memorialized in a way that favored his fellow provincials.

系英詢齎奏人，得事始末，於召對時面陳，乃調邦慶福建，詔以獄事畀總督察治。 Xiying questioned the memorial bearer and learned the full story; at an imperial audience he laid it out in person, and Bangqing was transferred to Fujian while the case was assigned to the governor-general for investigation.

系英素以樸直被眷遇，邦慶初與善，約地方事有見聞必告，至是手書言其曲直； Xiying had long been favored for his plain integrity; Bangqing had been friendly with him and had agreed to keep him informed of local affairs, and now wrote in his own hand about the rights and wrongs of the case;

系英子汝楨亦致書在籍給事中石承藻詢獄事：書並為邦慶得，先後以兩書上聞。 Xiying's son Ruzhen also wrote the retired supervising secretary Shi Chengzao to inquire about the case; Bangqing obtained both letters and reported them to the throne in succession.

二十四年，湘潭有土、客械鬥之獄，侍郎週系英與巡撫吳邦慶互劾。 In 1819 Xiangtan saw armed fighting between native and migrant communities; Vice Minister Zhou Xiying and Grand Coordinator Wu Bangqing impeached each other.

承藻適在籍，系英子汝楨致書承藻詢其事，為邦慶所發，承藻牽連降秩。 Chengzao happened to be home on leave; Xiying's son Ruzhen wrote to ask him about the affair; Bangqing exposed the letter, and Chengzao was implicated and demoted.

會布政使吳邦慶疏請於漳、衛合流之處建閘壩，和舜武謂：「漳河盛漲湍悍，非一閘所能禦，越閘旁趨，且停蓄泥沙，塞衛水宣洩之路。」 When the provincial administration commissioner Wu Bangqing memorialized to build a sluice dam where the Zhang and Wei rivers join, He Shunwu argued: "When the Zhang swells, its current is swift and fierce—no single gate can contain it. Water will spill around the gate and silt will accumulate, choking the Wei River's outlet."

先後封事數十上，劾疆臣琦善、河臣吳邦慶尤為時稱。 He submitted dozens of confidential memorials in all; his impeachments of Governor-General Qishan and river conservancy official Wu Bangqing won particular acclaim.
