建康元年，九江范容、周生等相聚反亂，屯據歷陽，為江淮巨患，遣御史中丞馮緄將兵督揚州刺史尹燿、九江太守鄧顯討之。 In Jiankang 1 (144 CE), Fan Rong, Zhou Sheng, and others in Jiujiang rebelled, seized Liyang, and threatened the entire Yang–Huai region. The court dispatched Vice Censor Feng Gun with troops to coordinate Governor Yin Yao of Yangzhou and Prefect Deng Xian of Jiujiang against them.

燿、顯軍敗，為賊所殺。 Yin Yao and Deng Xian were routed and killed by the rebels.
