初，瓊任清河太守，裴獻伯為濟州刺史，酷於用法，瓊恩於養人。 Earlier, when Qiong was administrator of Qinghe, Pei Xianbo was inspector of Jizhou, harsh in applying the law, while Qiong was kind in nurturing people.

房延佑為樂陵郡，過州，裴問其外聲，佑云：「唯聞太守善，刺史惡。」 Fang Yanyou was administrator of Leling; passing through the province, Pei asked outside reputation; You said, "I only hear the administrator is praised and the inspector is condemned."

裴云：「得民譽者非至公。」 Pei said, "One who wins popular praise is not utterly impartial."

裴以前言，恐為瓊陷，瓊申其枉滯，議者尚其公平。 Because of his earlier remark Pei feared Qiong would trap him; Qiong stated his wrongful detention, and commentators respected his fairness.
