Chapter 35 Wealth shrinks

Li Xin was not wrong. The disgust and filth of the sewer were far beyond the imagination of King Fu. His family of four was pampered. How could he have penetrated this sewer comparable to hell?

Even the two eunuchs were frugal and had never suffered any hardships. As soon as the six people entered the sewer, their calves became soft. It was winter, and the sewage accumulated was cold and cold. The water filled the boots and poured in. The feet were unbearable. If they were not in a hurry to escape, they would not have crawled in.

Moreover, the sewer was only 1.5 meters in radius. The six people had to bend over and walk. They couldn't walk a few steps. The chest and abdomen were pressed by fat, and they were short of breath. They ran slower and slower. At this time, when they heard the sound behind them, King Fu shouted anxiously: "The thief is chasing him. How long will it take to run out?"

A eunuch barely turned around and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Why are you attacking the royal palace? Don't you know that attacking the vassal kings and destroying the nine clans?"

"I'll deter you today!"

Li Xin laughed and scolded, and said, "The gun is coming!"

Someone handed him a red tassel gun behind him.

Li Xin speeded up his pace and stabbed straight with his gun!

A scream of "Ah!"

The eunuch was pierced on the back and fell into the sewage.

"Oh!"

The Fu King in front saw that he killed someone, and his legs became weak and he slipped.

"Father, Father, get up!"

"Prince, the exit is ahead, let's hold on!"

Eunuch Liu and Zhu Yousong hurried to help King Fu, but the sewer was cramped and slippery, and King Fu was a fat man weighing hundreds of pounds, so it was not easy to help him up. Instead, the three of them were in a hurry and squeezed together, and they could not move, blocking the passage.

“Get out of here!”

Princess Fu and Princess were also fat men. They knelt down so scared that they shouted that the hero would spare their lives and that the hero would spare their lives, and almost blocked the front. Li Xin urged them impatiently, but they didn't know whether these two women were scared or what, but they knelt on the ground and kept begging, but they didn't move.

"Take it away!"

Li Xin has both hands in this life and the past life, but he has a purpose in killing people and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. So he shrank his body against the wall and turned around and said.

The few people behind him had a bright green light in their eyes, and they rushed over with a strange smile. Li Xin shook his head.

To be honest, he felt disgusted when he saw the fat body of Princess Fu and Princess, but people didn't think so at that time. Obesity is a symbol of wealth and wealth. His skin is white and soft and smooth, and he is more attractive than a yellow-faced, hungry and thin-faced woman.

Sure enough, while dragging the people, their hands and feet were not clean, and they all greeted them on their chests. The two princesses looked ashamed and angry, but they did not dare to resist.

Li Xin couldn't help frowning: "Be honest, have you forgotten the rules in the army? Anyone with sharp silver women, want women, and some outside are going out to distribute their merits and want to vent their anger and then endure it for me to endure it."

"oh!"

"yes!"

Those people responded only and became honest.

“Take them out!”

Li Xin waved his hand.

The two princesses were taken back, and a few more people stepped forward, pulled Prince Fu and his son out little by little, and held them in the middle with Eunuch Liu. The group returned one by one. Li Xin finally felt relieved and left the sewer. The fresh air made him feel that life was so beautiful for the first time, and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

The four people outside were also very happy to see the King of Fu and his son being captured. Li Xin knew that they could not delay. After all, the longer the time delayed, the more the morale of the army became, so he took the female Taoist priest in the temple and hurried back.

The hall was already surrounded by people. When Li Xin escorted Prince Fu and his son back, he sighed. Tonight, this incident actually happened. He held the prince of the Ming Dynasty hostage and robbed the palace. When he recalled the past, he felt unrealistic like a dream.

The Hongmao was like a gentle wife, wiping Li Xin's face with dry cloth. Li Xin's body was so dirty that she dripped into the sewer, and it was covered with dirt and mud stains, especially her whole body emitted a very unpleasant odor.

"Let's do it first, I'll take a good shower later."

Li Xin said helplessly.

"Um!"

The Hongmao nodded, with joy in her beautiful eyes.

Li Xin asked: "Can the warehouse be counted, how are the harvests?"

"this……"

The Hongmao actually showed hesitation.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xin asked in surprise.

The Hongniang gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Li, the warehouse is counting, but the silver, money, grain and rice are not as much as I imagined. The silver may only be hundreds of thousands of taels, and the grain and rice are only tens of thousands of stones."

"How come there are so few?"

Li Xin was surprised and turned to King Fu and asked, "It is rumored outside that you are rich enough to rival a country. When Wanli was alive, he gave you countless rewards. Over the past few decades, you have plundered countless silver and money. What about the money? Have you hidden it privately? Is it honestly so as not to endure hardships."

Others also held similar ideas as Li Xin and looked over unkindly.

King Fu cried and shouted to his mother: "Good man, hero, there are only so many in the Xiaowang mansion. Even if you chop Xiaowang and feed it to the dog, Xiaowang can't take it out."

"Um?"

Li Xin looked at Eunuch Liu.

"Hero, there are really only these things in the palace. I will listen to the explanation for the hero..."

Eunuch Liu told the reason. Although it was very obscure, most people understood it.

The key is that King Fu cannot leave the palace. All the things, including the industry, are handled by the noble slaves below. In name, King Fu has a lot of property, which looks very amazing, but in fact, most of the money has been embezzled by the subordinates, and there are probably less than one in his hands.

Even if King Fu realized that the number was wrong, he sent eunuchs to investigate, but eunuchs were not good things. He accepted bribes and colluded with the rich slaves. He used various reasons such as natural disasters and man-made disasters or unstable roads. Even if he didn't believe it, he sent someone to investigate it, and the results would not be different. The second group of eunuchs accepted bribes and went home to talk to him nonsense. Send people out to check the accounts only to make money in vain.

Even many evil deeds such as forcing the robbery of the people and taking over the property of the people are not aware of. They are the people below who use his name to press the shit on his face.

It can be said that there are nearly 10,000 people inside and outside the palace, all of which are rotten, all of whom are using the sign of King Fu to make money and invade the people.

Li Xin looked at King Fu and couldn't help but feel sympathy. Of course, King Fu himself is not a good thing. He mainly looks glorious but is a poor worm raised in captivity like a pig.

The Fu Palace is not large in area, 23,000 square meters. The Zhou Palace, which is also located in Henan, was rebuilt on the basis of the Song and Jin Palace, with a circumference of more than eight miles. In contrast, the Fu Palace's range of activities is only more than 20,000 square meters, and he will never step out of the mansion in his lifetime.

Sometimes Li Xin even wondered, if Wanli was tough and King Fu won the battle for the foundation of the country, would the history of the late Ming Dynasty be rewritten?

This is very likely that Zhu Changluo became the emperor and died in less than a month. Tianqi, who succeeded to the throne, only lived for seven years. The short life of two emperors in a row, had a great negative impact on a dynasty. King Fu was at least long-lived. Although he was fat and had excessive alcohol and color, he lived a very comfortable life. Even if he lived for decades, he would not attend court.

Not to mention anything else, if Tianqi had not died and Chongzhen had just succeeded to the throne, Li Zicheng might not have dared to rebel. This is the same as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, which is stuck at the critical moment when the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne.

Moreover, King Fu looks foolish now, and becoming an emperor may not be foolish.

‘It’s indeed a dispute over the foundation of the country!’
