巡撫鄭端覆訊，在上言嘗以銀五百餽鴻緒，亦事發退還。 Governor Zheng Duan reopened the inquiry; Wen Zaishang also admitted he had once given Wang Hongxu five hundred taels of silver, which he likewise returned when exposed.

端乃劾乾學縱子行詐，鴻緒竟染贓銀，有玷大臣名節，乞敕部嚴議。 Zheng Duan then charged Xu Qianxue with letting his son practice fraud and Wang Hongxu with accepting tainted silver, arguing that both had disgraced the standing of senior ministers and asking the ministries for a severe ruling.
