典簽朱道琛者，嘗爲季連府都錄，無賴小人，有罪，季連欲殺之，逃叛以免。 Chief controller Zhu Daochen had once been head recorder in Lijian's office—a worthless rogue with crimes; Lijian meant to kill him but he fled and lived.

道琛請先使檢校，緣路奉迎； Let me go first to inspect and along the road pay court and welcome you;

道琛旣至，言語不恭，又歷造府州人士，見器物輒奪之，有不獲者，語曰：「會當屬人，何須苦惜。」 Once Daochen arrived his speech was rude; he went office to office among the district's men and seized whatever he saw, saying when refused, "Soon it will belong to someone else—why cling so hard?"

頃之，季連遂召佐史，矯稱齊宣德皇后令，聚兵復反，收朱道琛殺之。 Before long Lijian summoned his clerks, forged an edict in the name of Qi's Virtuous-Pacifying empress dowager, gathered troops and rebelled again, seized Zhu Daochen and killed him.
