時總兵周瑞龍持兩端，其子瓚齎金至，將以餌筸兵，哨弁李鳳鳴潛告讓梨，得為備。 Brigade general Zhou Ruilong was wavering; his son Zan arrived with gold to bribe the Qian troops. Sentinel officer Li Fengming secretly warned Rangli, and he was able to prepare.

讓梨乃上書責以大義滅親，辭激昂，且傳檄捕瓚，瓚遁。 Rangli wrote a furious letter invoking the duty to put loyalty above family ties and issued a warrant for Zan's arrest; Zan fled.

瓚出代其軍，遣人追縶讓梨及其子傳孔，鎖送長沙。 Zan took command of the troops and sent men to seize Rangli and his son Chuan Kong, who were shackled and sent to Changsha.
