祏棄妻子斬關遁，與腹心士數十抵武康，野人執送丹陽，孝恭斬之，傳首京師擊李子通，始公祏佐伏威起據江東，距公祏死，凡十三年。 Gongduo abandoned his wife and children, broke through the barrier, and fled. With a few dozen trusted men he reached Wukang, where country people seized him and delivered him to Danyang. Xiaogong beheaded him and sent the head to the capital as a warning when Li Zitong was attacked. From the day Gongduo helped Fuwei seize the lower Yangtze until his death, thirteen years had passed.
