法興懼，棄城與左右數百投吳郡賊聞人遂安，遂安遣將葉孝辯迎之。 In fear Faxing abandoned his city and fled with a few hundred men to the Wu bandit Wen Ren Sui'an. Sui'an sent Ye Xiaobian to receive him.

法興中悔，將殺孝辯，趨會稽，為所覺，懼，自沈於江。 Halfway there Faxing changed his mind and meant to kill Xiaobian and push on to Kuaiji, but he was found out. In terror he threw himself into the river and drowned.
