詔以賈耽代鎮，克寧乃護喪歸，悉索府中財夜出，軍士從剽之殆盡，澄柩至京，猶賜克寧莊一區、錢千緡、粟麥數千石雲。 An edict appointed Jia Dan to replace him in command; Kening then escorted the coffin home, searched out all the headquarters wealth by night and carried it away, and the soldiers followed in plundering until nearly nothing remained. When Cheng's coffin reached the capital, Kening was still granted an estate, a thousand strings of cash, and several thousand piculs of grain and wheat.
