In the autumn of 405 AD, in order to support his family, he came to Pengze, not far from his hometown, as a county magistrate. In the winter of this year, I met Du You who was sent by Xunyang County to inspect official business during my eighty-one days in the office. Liu Yun, a native of Xunyang County, is famous for his greed for money. He asks for bribes from the county twice a year in the name of patrol, and every time he returns with a full load, otherwise he will plant it.
Du You, who was sent here this time, is a vulgar and arrogant person. As soon as he arrived at Penzer's guest house, he sent a county magistrate to call a county magistrate to see him. Tao Yuanming usually despises fame and fortune, refuses to obey orders, despises such a person who gives orders in the name of a higher level, but he wants to see it again, so he set off at once.
