同治元年九月，抵任，治鄧爾恆被戕之獄。 In the ninth month of the first year of the Tongzhi reign (1862) he arrived to take office and handled the case of Deng Erheng's murder.

慮爾恆入覲發其罪，諷有保害之以滅口。 Fearing that Erheng would expose his crimes at court, he hinted that Youbao should kill him to silence him.

爾𢗝行次曲靖，宿於知府署。 Erheng, en route, stopped at Qujing and lodged at the prefect's yamen.

有保使其黨史榮、戴玉棠偽為盜，戕之，掠其行橐。 Youbao had Shi Rong and Dai Yutang pose as bandits, murder Erheng, and plunder his baggage.
