In this turmoil, not even daring to claim to punish the food-protection general, they merely cited reasons like lack of food or a grievance to create some chaos, simply to cause turmoil in front of the city.

Seeing things were not going well, someone immediately shouted, "This scoundrel sits on mountains of gold and silver yet won't let us get rich..."
"Let's take the opportunity to finish him, and we'll become the food-protection general ourselves..."

Someone didn't want the fear instilled by Yang Gong to ferment, so they immediately shouted loudly, leading people to rush forward.
