On the night of the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Prefectural Governor of Pingxi Prefecture Ye Tiancheng was caught. It wasn't until the 19th that the announcement was posted. All of Pingxi Prefecture was shocked by the news. And it was during the same day that Patrol Inspector Sun Bingchen was officially moved from the Chu Manor to the Prefectural Governor's Office in Pingxi City. He personally assumed command of the office. Meanwhile, Ye Tiancheng and his accomplices were locked up and guarded inside the jail within the city.
For the sake of stabilizing the situation in Pingxi City, Huangfu Qianqi put out an order on the night of the 18th and moved three barracks from his subordinates' county at Pingxi Prefecture to the city. Unfortunately, Gong Tieshan's Gong Barracks in Huanglong County was moved to Pingxi City as well.
