潤州牙將劉浩逐其帥周寶，寶奔常州，浩推度支催勘官薛朗為帥。 Liu Hao, a guard officer at Run prefecture, deposed his commander Zhou Bao, who fled to Changzhou. Liu Hao installed Xue Lang, a revenue audit official, as the new commander.

棱等進攻潤州，逐劉浩，執薛朗，剖其心以祭寶。 Du Ling and his men then attacked Runzhou, expelled Liu Hao, captured Xue Lang, and cut out his heart as an offering to Zhou Bao's spirit.
