又有百工院使李可殷，因歸郎以通陳氏。 Li Keyin, commissioner of the Hundred Crafts Bureau, also gained access to the empress through Lord Gui.

是歲十月，鏻饗軍於大酺殿，坐中昏然，言見延稟來，仿以為鏻病已甚，乃令壯士先殺李可殷於家。 In the tenth month of that year Lin feasted his troops in the Great Revelry Hall. Midway through the banquet he fell into a stupor and cried that Yanbin had come for him. Fang judged Lin's illness beyond recovery and sent bravos to kill Li Keyin at his home.

明日晨朝，鏻無恙，問仿殺可殷何罪，仿懼而出，與繼鵬率皇城衛士而入。 The next morning Lin appeared at court unharmed and demanded to know what crime had justified Keyin's murder. Fang fled in terror and, with Jipeng, led the Imperial City guards into the palace.
