In October of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), he replaced Luo Sigong in charge of Jinyi Wei affairs. Er Geng is a cunning thief and has formed a friendship with Wei Liangqing. Wei Zhongxian expelled the Donglin Party and repeatedly raised prisons. Ergeng widely distributed detectives, recruited people, and tortured people such as exercise, and most of the imprisoned people were not allowed to come out. Most of the people who want to enter the city are connected to Wei Zhongxian through him, and Wei Liangqing is left and right from it, so Wei Zhongxian adopts Ergeng's words, and most people from the court and China gather in front of his door. Wei Guangwei also married him, and there was a ballad of "Da'er Tian Ergeng" at that time. He and Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan, Yang Huan, and Sun Yunhe have the name of "Five Tigers". He was repeatedly sealed, worshiped as a young master and a prince and a prince, and protected several people in the brocade clothes, and the rewards he received when he was old were incalculable. Xu Xianchun and others were promoted like him. After Wei Zhongxian's defeat, the commentators impeached him one after another, and he was sentenced to death in prison, and in June of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he was sentenced to death with Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun, a native of Dingxing, is the grandson of Xu Congcheng, the captain of the horse. He passed the martial arts examination and was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Liu Qiao took charge of the Zhenfu Division and governed the case of Wang Wenyan, but was offended by losing Wei Zhongxian's will and replaced him by Xu Xianchun. Xianchun is a little Xiaowenmo, with a cruel temperament, he frequently goes to prison, and uses exercise and other poison punishments, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Shunchang, Huang Zunsu, Wang Zhiyu, Xia Zhiling and other more than ten people died in his hands. All the confessions of these men were made by the Manifest Purity. Every time he was interrogated, Wei Zhongxian would send someone to sit behind him, called Tingji, and his person occasionally did not arrive, and Xianchun did not dare to ask.

Cui Yingyuan, a native of Daxing. He was a scoundrel in the market, served as a captain, and because of his exploits in arrest, he was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei. Sun Yunhe, a native of Bazhou, is the criminal officer of Dongchang. Yang Huan, a native of Wu County, is subordinate to Jinyiwei and is the criminal officer of Dongsi. All the murders of Xu Xianchun were done by Cui Yingyuan and others. And Yang Huan is still Tian Ergeng's henchman. When Xu Xianchun was sentenced to death, the judicial department only sentenced Cui Yingyuan, Sun Yunhe, and Yang Huan to be sent to prison. Later, the case of rebellion was decided, and all three were sentenced to death, and Yang Huan had already died in the garrison.
