寧我負人，宜早為之所，但戮呂、鄭二宦，且係存渥，徐觀其變，事萬全矣。」 Better that I wrong others than be wronged—act early. Only kill the two eunuchs Lü and Zheng, detain Cunwo for the time being, and watch developments slowly; then the affair will be entirely secure."

翌日，符彥超誅呂、鄭，軍城大亂，燔剽達曙。 The next day Fu Yanchao executed Lü and Zheng; the military city fell into great disorder, and burning and plunder continued until dawn.
