The Jiao-zhi bandit Ruan Ke-lang and others were executed. Ke-lang had initially followed the bandit chief Lu Wen-lu in his rebellion. After their defeat, he fled to Laos. Later, he repeatedly attacked and plundered subprefectures and counties. At this time, the Imperial army captured him and others, a total of 16 persons, and they were sent to the capital where they were executed.
