A man of integrity who transformed the remote and impoverished Qingzhou into a clean and thriving region. He was falsely branded as a loyalist of Prince Gong merely because he attended two of Prince Gong's banquets and offended a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Justice with his blunt speech. He was stripped of his official cap, demoted to a commoner, and his family was barred from participating in imperial examinations for three generations. His case was cited as an example of wrongful accusation during the investigations.
