So he invited the prefect to prepare wine and dishes, and talked about his life-long friendship, which was very harmonious.
The prefect said happily: "Everyone else has only one heaven, but I have two!" He thought that his old friend Su Zhang would be able to cover up his sins.
Su Zhang said: "Tonight, I, Su Ruwen, drank with an old friend. This is an affair; tomorrow, the Jizhou governor will investigate the case, which is a national law."
So he was reported and convicted, and the whole state was in awe.
Su Zhanghou was convicted and dismissed from office for violating the emperor's imperial edict by attacking powerful people.
At that time, the government was declining day by day, and the people were more worried and miserable. People who discussed current affairs praised Su Zhang day and night, but the court could no longer use him.
Wu You became the Prime Minister of Jiaodong. He advocated benevolence, love and simplicity in his administration, and the people could not bear to deceive him.
There was a country man named Sun Xing who secretly collected money from the people and bought clothes for his father.
When his father got the clothes, he said angrily: "You have such a superior, how can you bear to deceive him?" and urged him to go back and confess.
Feeling ashamed and fearful, Sun Xing took his clothes and surrendered to the government.
Wu Youjiao left and asked why, and Sun Xing told Wu You everything his father said.
Wu You comforted him and said, "You have suffered a bad reputation for corruption because of your father. It is true that you can see his faults and know that he has benevolent character." He ordered Sun Xing to go home to thank his father, and gave the clothes to Sun Xing's father.
The background of the deeds of the above three people was during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the foreign relatives and eunuchs alternated in power and took advantage of each other, causing social unrest. Due to the corruption of the Nanyang governor, a civil uprising broke out in Jingzhou. However, Li Gu, the governor of Jingzhou, investigated the Nanyang governor, but the general Liang Ji sent an official document from thousands of miles away to transfer Li Gu and protect the corrupt officials.
In this context, it is particularly valuable that Su Zhang does not bend the law with personal feelings.
