At the beginning, the people were able to snatch some valuable things.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer valuable things.
In order to vent their anger, the people started setting fires.
The fire spread rapidly and soon got out of control.

There were many people standing nearby.
There were local civil and military officials in Qufu, and relatives such as Zhang Rong, the governor of the East Factory.

Are those people the murderers?
No!
The murderer is Zhang Rong.
Kong Xingxie is not stupid enough to let the murderer catch the murderer.
The news that the Yanshenggong Mansion in Qufu was burned down spread quickly.
Officials were shocked and scholars were angry.
