其子處瑾、處球秘不發喪，軍府內外，皆不知之，每日於寢宮問安。 His sons Chujin and Chuqiu concealed the death; inside and outside headquarters none knew, and each day they sent greetings to the bedchamber as if their father still lived.

是夜，趙將李再豐之子衝投縋以接王師，故諸軍登城，遲明畢入，獲處瑾、處球、處琪，並其母及同惡人等，皆折足送行台，鎮人請醢而食之。 That night Li Zaifeng's son Chong lowered a rope to admit the imperial army; the troops scaled the walls and by dawn had taken the city. Chujin, Chuqiu, Chuqi, their mother, and their accomplices were captured, their legs broken, and sent to headquarters; the townspeople begged that they be minced for food.
