巡撫柏貴檄紳士伍崇曜等議和，名琛猶持不許入城之議，夜避左都統署，英人大索得之，舁登舟。 Governor Bogui summoned gentry including Wu Chongyao to negotiate peace; Mingchen still clung to his refusal of entry into the city, fled at night to a Manchu banner office, was hunted down by the British, and carried off to their ships.

將軍、巡撫以聞，詔斥名琛剛愎自用，辦理乖謬，褫其職，英人遂踞省城，禁巡撫等官不得出，責以安民。 The general and governor reported to the throne; an edict condemned Mingchen for stubbornness and gross mismanagement and stripped him of office. The British then held the provincial capital, confined Bogui and other officials inside, and ordered them to keep the peace.

時廣州為英人所踞，巡撫柏貴在城中為所脅制。 Canton was then in British hands, and Governor Bogui inside the city was under their control.

咸豐七年，英人陷廣州，總督葉名琛獲譴罷，而巡撫柏貴等罪相埒，譴弗及，時論譁然，璟乃分別上其謬誤狀。 In the seventh year of Xianfeng the British took Guangzhou. Governor Ye Mingchen was punished and dismissed, yet Governor Bai Gui and others were equally guilty yet went unpunished, and public opinion was outraged. Jing memorialized separately on each man's errors.
