初，梁將蘭欽子京為東魏所虜，王命以配廚。 Earlier, Zi Jing, son of the Liang general Lan Qin, had been captured by Eastern Wei; Gao Cheng ordered him assigned to the kitchen staff.

京再訴，王使監廚蒼頭薛豐洛杖之，曰：「更訴當殺爾。」 Jing appealed again; Gao Cheng had the kitchen-overseer bondman Xue Fengluo beat him and said, "Complain again and you will be killed."

京與其黨六人謀作亂。 Jing and six of his cohort plotted mutiny.

京將進食，王却，謂諸人曰：「昨夜夢此奴斫我，宜殺却。」 When Jing was about to bring food, Gao Cheng held back and told the others, "Last night I dreamed this slave hacked at me—I ought to kill him."

京聞之，置刀於盤，冒言進食。 Jing heard this, hid a knife in the serving tray, and came forward as if to bring food.

京揮刀曰：「來將殺汝！」 Jing swung the knife and said, "I have come to kill you!"

時太原公洋在城東雙堂，入而討賊，臠割京等，皆漆其頭。 At the time Duke of Taiyuan Gao Yang was at the Twin Hall east of the city; he entered and punished the traitors, dismembering Jing and the rest and lacquering their heads.
