Chapter 877: Catch the King of Fortune alive, open the warehouse and put food(2/2)

I heard that Zhang Zhun had already entered the city and arrived at the Fu Palace. The crowded crowds of people watching the fun were voluntarily dispersed and went to work hard on their own.

In fact, shortly after the city was broken, Zhang Zhun had already rode into the city. His arrival was quiet, only Wang Shide, Li Yan and some snipers followed. No outsiders even recognized him, he was Zhang Zhun. On both sides of the street, there were many people waiting for Zhang Zhun's arrival, but they did not expect that this young officer who was riding a horse in front of them was the object they were waiting for.

Zhang Zhun came to Fu Wang Mansion in advance and took charge of the place himself to coordinate the overall situation. While inspecting the property and food of the royal palace, he was waiting to interrogate Fu Wang. When Xie Zhiyou reported to him that Fu Wang had mentioned it, Zhang Zhun turned around and smiled, saying to Li Yan: "Let's be the masters here and let the prince be the guest once!"

With a buzzing, a drum sounded from the white marble steps of Yingen Hall. Zhang Zhun, with Wang Shide, Li Yan and others, walked out of the palace slowly and came from a Xijiao Gate called Yuhua Gate to Yingen Hall. This Yingen Hall is the palace of the Lord of the Palace, which is very majestic, with yellow glazed tiles shining golden light. In the middle of the hall, there is a throne of vermilion sandalwood painted gold rays, and yellow satin mattresses are laid on the top. The front eaves are seven feet deep, with brackets, flying eaves, and painted dust. Four vermilion pillars that cannot be held by one person.

When the palace was built, a Grand Secretary wrote a couplet according to the "Imperial Order" of Emperor Wanli, which was a perfect tribute to him. Now, the red lacquer gold-painted cloud dragon couplet was painted with two pieces of horse shit on it by the soldiers of the Tiger Army, and it was still hung on the two pillars in the middle:

Wealth is full of joy and happiness,

Wang Yegu and Songyue were together with the country.

Outside the front eaves of Ying'en Hall are three-stage white marble steps. Below the steps is a platform, commonly known as Danba, with polished bluestone paving, with gilded incense burners, large tripods, and cranes on both sides. The Danba is surrounded by white marble railings and cloud dragon pillars, with exquisite carvings. In front of the platform are seven-stage stone steps. With the stone steps down, there is a wide stone rain road in the middle, which divides the yard in two halves. Pines and cypresses are planted in the yard on both sides, and wing rooms are commonly known as the Chaofang.

The main entrance of this yard is called Yingen Gate, which is also five buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles. There are three and six vermilion gates side by side. Outside the Yingen Gate is a large yard with corridors on both sides, bell tower and drum tower. The main entrance is Duanli Gate. There are three white jade carved railings and arch bridges side by side between Duanli Gate and Yingen Gate.

When the Fu Palace was built, a stream of water was specially drawn from the Jian River west of Luoyang City. After entering the city, it flowed underground. When it arrived at the courtyard outside Ying'en Gate, it became a bright stream and was renamed Fushui. Therefore, these three bridges are called Hongfu Wannian Bridge, which is abbreviated as Hongfu Bridge.

Soon, King Fu was carried by several burly men and came to Zhang Zhun. This spoiled prince, even though he was carried by the Tiger Army soldiers, was still panting all the way, as if he would die at any time. When the burly men let go of him, he immediately seemed to have a pile of meat balls, all hanging on the ground.

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "How is the prince?"

King Fu no longer had the same arrogant look as before. His eyes were full of despair and horror. The fat on his face kept twitching, and there was also white foam flowing out of the corners of his mouth. He said incoherently: "You, you, you, you, yes, yes, Zhang Zhun?"

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said gently and kindly: "Yes, I am Zhang Zhun!"

King Fu was paralyzed on the ground and shouted weakly: "Give up your life! Give up your life!"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband, I'm here this time just asking for money, not to die. The prince's family has a wealth of tens of millions, and it's too much to spend. I'll help you spend money."

King Fu hurriedly said, "It's easy to say, you'll just take it away."

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said kindly: "It's rare that the prince is so generous. Zhang Zhun thanked him again. I believe that the people of Luoyang are also very grateful to the prince."

"coax!"

Suddenly, a shocking cry came from outside.

King Fu thought something had happened, and his whole body was trembling, and there was no blood on his face. Only the fat flesh on his body was still trembling, and his whole body was like a rice sieve, as if he could not stop at all.

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, you just open the warehouse and release the grain. A rough count is that the food stored by the Youth is actually as huge as three million stones, which really surprised me. Three million stones of grain is enough for 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Luoyang to eat for two years. But why do so many people starve to death in Luoyang?"

King Fu's face was bloodless and stammered: "I don't know, I don't know, they are all handled by his subordinates."

Zhang Zhun smiled casually and said gently: "It's okay, the prince doesn't know, that's normal. You will know soon."

At this time, Li Yan happened to come in and reported to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, the grain on the books has been basically counted, with a total of 2.98 million stones. The books and physical objects have been spot checked many times, and no deficit has been found for the time being."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said to King Fu: "It's not bad! You are in charge of your own granary, but there is no deficit at all."

King Fu was sweating coldly on his forehead and said stammeringly: "That is all the credit of his servants, and the credit of his servants."

Zhang Zhun smiled meaningfully and said slowly: "Two,980,000 stones, has the prince remembered it clearly?"

King Fu didn't know what he meant, so he had to answer in a confused manner: "Remember it clearly, remember it clearly."

Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Come here, send the prince out."

King Fu was shocked and shouted incoherently: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Zhang Zhun, don't kill me! You said you won't kill me!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What am I going to kill you? I just want you to answer a few questions in public. There are so much food stored in your granary, but so many people starved to death in Luoyang. Why is this? The people in Luoyang want to know this answer. As long as you can answer this question, the people will naturally let you go."

King Fu suddenly felt that he had taken all his strength and could not say a word. Yes, Zhang Zhun did not kill him, but handed him over to the angry people. It is conceivable what measures would the people of Luoyang take to deal with him.
