先是，冀州長史宇文仲鸞、司馬李祖挹、別駕陳季璩、中從事房子弼、長樂郡守尉普興等疑歸彥有異，使連名密啟，歸彥追而獲之，遂收禁仲鸞等五人，仍並不從，皆殺之。 Earlier, Ji Province chief clerk Yuwen Zhongluan, administrator Li Zuyi, aide Chen Jiqiong, attendant Fang Zibi, and Changle commandery administrator Wei Puxing had suspected Guiyan of treachery and sent a joint secret memorial. Guiyan pursued and captured them, imprisoned all five — and when they still refused to yield, killed them.
