父煥，安帝時為幽州刺史，疾忌姦惡，數致其罪。 His father Feng Huan served as inspector of Youzhou under Emperor An, pursued wrongdoing zealously, and repeatedly secured convictions.

建光元年，怨者乃詐作璽書譴責煥、光，賜以歐刀。 In Jianguang 1 (121 CE), enemies forged an imperial rescript rebuking Feng Huan and Yao Guang and sentencing them to suicide with the court blade.

又下遼東都尉龐奮使速行刑，奮即斬光收煥。 Liaodong commandant Pang Fen was told to act at once; he executed Yao Guang on the spot and took Feng Huan into custody.

煥欲自殺，緄疑詔文有異，止煥曰：「大人在州，志欲去惡，實無它故，必是凶人妄詐，規肆姦毒。 Feng Huan was about to kill himself when his son, doubting the edict, stopped him. "In office you have sought only to root out evil," Feng Gun said; "there is no other cause—this must be a forgery by someone scheming against you.

煥從其言，上書自訟，果詐者所為，徵奮抵罪。 Feng Huan took the advice, appealed to the emperor, and exposed the fraud; Pang Fen was recalled and punished.

會煥病死獄中，帝愍之，賜煥、光錢各十萬，以子為郎中。 Feng Huan died in prison before he could be cleared; moved with pity, the emperor awarded his family and Yao Guang's one hundred thousand cash each and enrolled Feng Gun as a gentleman of the palace.
