When Ma Xinyi was appointed as the governor of the two rivers, Milan became more and more fond of Ma Xinyi, and Ma Xinyi did whatever it took to achieve his goal, and his moral and emotional defense line collapsed completely, eventually occupying Milan and killing his younger brother Huang Zong. Wenxiang Zhang, the third son, was furious when he heard the news. He assassinated Ma Xinyi and pleaded guilty in the punishments.
