In the 14th year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, a great plague occurred in Huiji County, killing tens of thousands of people. Zhong was alone, taking care of the victims personally, raising and distributing medicines, so that his people could be saved and survived in the disaster. Zhong was recommended to be promoted for the second time. He was recruited into Houba Mansion in Dasitu, and the court ordered him to be responsible for escorting prisoners to Hanoi Mansion. When it is cold in winter, the prisoner is sick and can't move forward. When passing through Hongnong, Zhong went to the county seat to make clothes for prisoners. The county government had to give him clothes, but he wrote to report the incident. Zhong also reported the incident in detail. After receiving the report, Emperor Guangwu showed it to Hou Ba and said, "How can the subordinates you appointed be so good?" ! He is really a good official! "Zhong unexpectedly lifted the shackles of prisoners on the road, indulged them to go where they wanted to go, and made an appointment with them. They arrived on time, and no one failed to meet the deadline. After coming back, he was dismissed from his official duties due to illness. After Zhong was appointed as the county magistrate, there was a small official named Zhong who stole in the county. Zhong sent everyone away and asked him about the actual situation. Kowtowing and confessing, Zhong could not bear to be punished and gave him a long vacation. When Tan Jian's father heard about it, he prepared wine for his son and said to him, "I heard that the king who has no way kills people with a knife, and the king who has a way kills people with righteousness. You are guilty. This is fate! " So Tan Jian took the medicine and died. Twenty-five years, Zhong Ren Tangyi county magistrate, county civil air defense revenged his father, was imprisoned. When his mother died, Fang Guangyi cried and didn't eat. Zhong sympathized with him and let Fang Guangyi go home to bury his mother. Xian Cheng and other officials argued that it was impossible. Zhong said: "If I am found guilty, I will be responsible for it, and I will never bring trouble to everyone. Let's talk about letting go. When we come back from the funeral, the clock will tell us in secret, and we will be spared the death penalty. "。

After Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Zhong was called Shangshu. At that time, Zhang Hui, the prefect, was recalled and executed for accepting bribes, and the family property registration had no income from Dasinong Government. The emperor ordered the money to be given to the ministers, Zhong shared the jewels, and all the jewels were put on the ground without thanking them. The emperor was surprised and asked why. Zhong replied, "I heard that Confucius didn't drink water from stealing springs because he hated its bad reputation." These dirty money really dare not accept it. " The emperor sighed and said, "The words of Shangshu are too clean!" So he gave Zhong 300,000 yuan from the national treasury instead, and transferred the official to Shangshu. At that time, the emperor sent a letter to the descendants of the surrendered Hu people, and the official in charge of the copy mistakenly wrote the number of fine silks as 100. When the emperor saw the article submitted by Si Nong, he was very angry and called Shang to beat him with a stick. Zhong came in and kowtowed and said, "Most people can tolerate mistakes. If laziness is regarded as negligence, then my position is high and my guilt should be heavier; Shang's position is low, and his guilt should be lighter. The mistakes are mine, and I should be convicted first. " So he took off his clothes and accepted the stick. The emperor lost his temper, Zhong put on his hat and pardoned Shang. Zhong has been an official for five years. He influenced people with kindness and the people became rich. Later, he died of illness during his tenure.
