The servant trembled and said, "They even stole the grain from the granary!"
Tao Wenyuan, who had been silent on the side, stood up in shock. The disaster victims had looted the granary, which contained more than 5,000 dan of grain. If the disaster victims looted it, and the prince blamed them, no one would be spared.
"What!" Han Tiexin pushed the servant to the ground and said, "Someone, go to the granary!"
By the time Han Tiexin and his men arrived at the granary, the situation was already out of control. Countless victims, tens of thousands, rushed into the granary, overpowering the soldiers. They rushed in, shouldering and carrying bags.
Strangely, even though these disaster victims poured into the granary, they didn't scramble to loot. Instead, they worked in an orderly manner, with clear divisions of labor.

Han Tiexin was wrong. His mistake was the words "I will execute you on the spot." Upon hearing this, the victims could no longer sit still. They rushed over, pinned Han Tiexin to the ground, and began to beat him!
