Beside the Sifu Inn, in the Carriage Inn, Rong people were also hiding. Seeing the Sifu Inn closed off by officials and soldiers, they realized they had been exposed, so they decided to go all out; they immediately spilled pine oil and set the place on fire.
Thick smoke quickly rolled over the Sifu Inn and the Carriage Inn, and the Rong people's Company Commander led the Rong people to start killing.
There were two Rong army units hidden in the county town. The one Xie Cheng and his group surrounded was specialized in setting fires and killing to create chaos.
The other unit was specifically tasked with burning granaries and killing officials.
Xiao Lu had just tried to deliver a message to this Rong unit, telling them to quickly attack the county grain warehouse.
But now that the plan had failed, the message wasn't delivered.
