盧琦，字希韓，惠安人，登至正二年進士第。 Lu Qi, courtesy name Xihan, was a native of Hui'an; he passed the jinshi examination in the second year of Zhizheng (1342).

鄰邑仙遊盜發，琦適在邑境，盜遙見之，迎拜曰：「此永春大夫也。 When bandits rose in neighboring Xianyou County, Qi happened to be near the border; the bandits saw him from afar, came forward and bowed, saying, "This is the magistrate of Yongchun.

琦因立馬喻以禍福，眾皆投刃槊，請縛其酋以自新，琦許之。 Qi reined in his horse and explained the consequences of their course; they all cast down their weapons and asked to bind their leader and submit; Qi agreed.

酋至，琦械送帥府，自是威惠行於境外。 When the leader arrived, Qi had him shackled and sent to the marshal's headquarters; thereafter his authority and benevolence were felt beyond the county borders.

琦命分諸浮屠及大家使食之，所存活不可勝計。 Qi had them fed through Buddhist monasteries and wealthy households; the number saved was beyond counting.

琦聞，召邑民喻之曰：「汝等能戰則與之戰，不能，則我當獨死之爾。」 When Qi heard this, he summoned the people and said, "If you can fight, fight with me; if not, I alone will die for you."

琦率以攻賊，大破之。 Qi led them against the bandits and won a great victory.
