王仁達為鏻殺延稟有功，而典親兵，鏻心忌之，嘗問仁達曰：「趙高指鹿為馬，以愚二世，果有之邪？」 Wang Renda had distinguished himself by killing Yanbin and now commanded the imperial guard. Lin grew jealous and once asked him, "Did Zhao Gao really point to a deer and call it a horse to deceive the Second Emperor?"

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.
