? During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were frequent famines in Chen Zhou, and people's lives were difficult. Fan Zhongyan wrote to ask the emperor to send someone to Chen Zhou to sell grain and help the people. Liu Yanzi's son, Xiao Yanzi, and son-in-law Yang Jinwangdang became grain release officers. They went to Chen Zhou and grain depots to raise food prices without permission, and they took bribes and perverted the law, committing all kinds of evils. When the people objected, they were killed.
