又至大元年，上都開元寺西僧強市民薪，民訴諸留守李璧。 In the first year of the Zhida era, at Shangdu's Kaiyuan Temple a Tibetan monk forcibly seized firewood from townspeople, who appealed to the resident commissioner Li Bi.

璧方詢問其由，僧已率其黨持白梃突入公府，隔案引璧發，捽諸地，捶撲交下，拽之以歸，閉諸空室，久乃得脫，奔訴於朝，遇赦以免。 While Bi was still investigating, the monk led his followers armed with clubs into the government office, seized Bi by the hair across his desk, threw him to the ground, and beat him severely. They dragged him away and locked him in a room; he eventually escaped and appealed to the capital, but received amnesty before punishment could be imposed.
