高祖為丞相，雍州牧畢王賢謀作難，雄時為別駕，知其謀，以告高祖。 While Yang Jian served as chancellor, Bi Wang Xian, Governor of Yong Province, plotted rebellion. Xiong, then serving as assistant administrator, discovered the plot and reported it to Yang Jian.

賢伏誅，以功授柱國、雍州牧，仍領相府虞候。 Xian was executed. For this service Xiong was made Pillar of State and Governor of Yong Province while continuing to command the chancellor's guard patrol.
