In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he became a Jinshi and was granted the censor of supervision. Later, he was transferred to Shizhong, the Minister of Taipusi and the Minister of the Ministry of work. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he returned to the Qing Dynasty and was granted the title of Zuo Shilang in the first year of Shunzhi (1644). In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, he worked as a county magistrate in eastern Guangdong. Wherever he went, he extorted money, gathered money and was greedy. The common people hated him to the bone. As long as he appeared in public, the people glared at him. At that time, people put lanterns on the Lantern Festival, and people pasted a pair of couplets on the shed. The couplets read: < br > frost falls and the wind blows, the four fields are hard to accommodate old leaves, < br > when the Lantern Festival rains, all people complain about the early spring.
