Hong Shuzu's life was indeed quite bumpy, and he was once arrested by the Qing government for several years of imprisonment for allegedly embezzling public funds. After being released, Hong Shuzu lost his livelihood for a while, but Hong Shuzu was very clever and fell into the hands of Yuan Shikai under the introduction of his friends.
