先是寧津奸民陳二糾黨為州郡害，土人稱曰黑團，勢甚熾。 Earlier, in Ningjin a wicked man named Chen Er had gathered a faction that preyed on the prefecture and counties; locals called them the Black Gang, and their power ran very high.

嘗至南皮劫殺，乃宣會防營掩捕，擒陳二及其黨數人磔於市，黑團遂絕。 They once came to Nanpi to rob and kill; Naixuan joined the defense camp in a surprise arrest, captured Chen Er and several of his followers, and had them dismembered in the market—the Black Gang was then extinguished.
