時京畿盜魁，首稱豹子、彪子，並善弓馬，於靈丘、應門間聚為劫害。 At that time the leading bandits of the capital region were known as Baozi and Biaozi. Both were skilled horsemen and archers who gathered between Lingqiu and Yanmen to rob and plunder.

赦提為逐賊軍將，未幾而獲彪子、豹子及其黨與，盡送京師，斬於闕下，自是清靜。 Sheti was appointed general to pursue the bandits. Before long he captured Biaozi, Baozi, and their followers, sent them to the capital, and had them beheaded at the palace gate. The region was thereafter at peace.
