又粵西儂人王阿耳為寨長王文甲所執，竄入苗寨，誣文甲將糾合冊亨諸寨叛。 Meanwhile Wang A'er, a Zhuang man from western Guangdong, had been seized by the stockade chief Wang Wenjia. A'er fled into a Miao stockade and accused Wenjia of plotting to rally the stockades of Ceheng in rebellion.

錫週奉檄往會鞫，蔽罪悉當，釋文甲及系累者，逃亡並歸，邊境以靖。 Xi was ordered to join in the joint investigation. He determined guilt and innocence justly throughout and released Wenjia and all those implicated with him. Fugitives returned from hiding, and the border was pacified.
