彥超又遣鄭麟持刃迫之，弘魯惶恐拜其妻妾，妻妾皆言無所隱。 Yanchao sent Zheng Lin with a drawn sword to threaten him. Honglu fell before his wife and concubines in terror; they too swore that nothing remained hidden.

弘魯乳母於泥中得金纏臂獻彥超，欲贖出弘魯，彥超大怒，遣軍校笞弘魯夫婦肉爛而死，遂斬周度於市。 Honglu's nurse found a gold armlet in the mud and offered it to ransom him. Yanchao was enraged, ordered soldiers to flog Honglu and his wife until their flesh was pulp and they died, then beheaded Zhoudu in the marketplace.
