East Palace.

After Zhou Zhu and Xie Shanhe ate dumplings on Xinghe Street, they took a carriage directly to the East Palace.

Zhou Zhu is a frequent visitor to the East Palace. As soon as he got off the carriage, Feng Bing, the guard general of the East Palace, walked over to him and said, "Zhou Zhentai is here. As per the old rules, let's wait in the side hall first."

Zhou Zhu quickly raised his hand and said, "Then there is General Laofeng."

Feng Bing quickly waved his hand, "This is my duty. You don't have to be polite, Zhou Zhentai. This is..."

Zhou Zhu turned back and looked at Xie Shanhe, "Thank you, why don't you meet General Feng soon?"

Xie Shanhe quickly raised his hand and said, "Xie Shanhe, a minister of Fengyu Tai, has met General Feng."

Feng Bing smiled and said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite. Please come in, please!"

Afterwards, Feng Bing led Zhou Zhu and Xie Shanhe to the reception hall of the East Palace, "You two wait here, I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhou Zhu and Xie Shanhe both raised their hands, "Then there is General Lao Feng."

Feng Bing nodded, turned and left the reception hall, and then came to the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace.

As soon as they reached the door, the sergeant guarding the Chongwen Hall immediately stepped forward and saluted, "General Feng, His Royal Highness is talking to Zhang Zhanshi. Please wait for a moment."

Feng Bing nodded, and after waiting at the door for a while, Zhang Quanming, the official of the East Palace, walked out of the Chongwen Hall.

"General Feng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you."

Feng Bing walked directly into the Chongwen Pavilion, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Let's get married for free!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Murong Haotian nodded, "General Feng has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say so."

"Your Highness, Fengyutai Zhentai Zhou Zhu and Qianshi Xie Shanhe are here to visit. I have arranged for them to wait in the side hall."

"I still have official business to deal with, let them wait first!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince! I resign!"

Feng Bing cupped his hands, turned around and left Chongwen Hall.

The corners of Murong Haotian's mouth raised slightly, with a disdainful expression on his face. After receiving Lu Jian's report, he planned to give Zhou Zhu a beating.

Time passed little by little. Zhou Zhu and Xie Shanhe waited in the side hall for a long time. When they were hungry, they ate the snacks and fruits on the table, and when they were thirsty, they drank tea.

It was already afternoon time. Not only did the two of them not see Prince Murong Haotian, but even the maid from the East Palace ignored them. After drinking the tea, they sat on the chairs and waited.

The two of them came to the East Palace for help and to show their loyalty. It would definitely be inappropriate to leave without seeing the master. They had no other choice but to continue waiting.

Just when the two of them were waiting impatiently, Murong Haotian walked in from outside. As soon as they saw them, they immediately stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Let's get married for free!"

Murong Haotian raised his hand and sat down directly on the main seat in the side hall.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Murong Haotian nodded, "You two must have something urgent to report to the king when you come to the East Palace. What can you tell me?"

Zhou Zhu hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, your Highness, please speak kindly in front of Your Majesty regarding the matter of Yan Guo's credentials. I am deeply grateful and willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness."

"Don't worry, you two. You are my people. Your Majesty, I will speak for you. If nothing happens, just go back first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince! I will take my leave!"

Zhou Zhu and Xie Shanhe both cupped their hands, turned and left the side hall.

The two of them had just walked out of the East Palace. Wu Kaiyuan, the general manager of Fengyutai, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately came forward and bowed his hands respectfully. The families of small officials left the city with their families, and later the people in the city also began to leave the city with their families. "

Zhou Zhu looked at Wu Kaiyuan with a puzzled look on his face, "Mr. Wu, what are they doing out of the city?"

Wu Kaiyuan quickly raised his hand and said, "Return to Zhentai, Sir, the contents of Yan Guo's credential suddenly spread in the city this morning, and then the news that Yan Guo was going to send troops to attack Hehe City also spread among the people. They were afraid that Yan Jun’s Feitian Battalion would blow the valley city into ruins, so they all left the city with their families.”

"Before leaving, they sold their shops and houses to Yahang at a low price. Because there were so many people selling properties, Yahang was forced to stop acquisitions. Nowadays, Yahang's properties are sold for only The price is 20% of the usual price, and it continues to fall.”

It's over, something big happened.

Zhou Zhu's expression changed greatly, "General Manager Wu, such a big thing happened in the city, why did you only come to report it now?"

"Go back to Master Zhentai. I just received the news and went to the Zhentai Pavilion to report to you. When you were away, I sent people everywhere to find out where you were. Finally I learned that you went to the East Palace. I am a subordinate in the East Palace. You can’t get in, so I can only wait for you outside.”

Zhou Zhu quickly waved his hand, "That's all, is the city gate closed now?"

"Master Zhentai, because there are so many people leaving the city, my subordinates took the initiative and closed all the gates of River Valley City in advance half an hour ago."

"Half an hour ago? Then why didn't you close the city gate earlier?"

"Back to Lord Zhentai, our Fengyutai has strict regulations. To close the city gates of Kyoto in advance requires the consent of Lord Zhentai or Master Qianshi. It is already a violation of the rules for my subordinates to close all the city gates without authorization. Please ask Zhentai to do so." National Taiwan University has a clear lesson.”

To be honest, Wu Kaiyuan has done a very good job. The only fault for this is Feng Yu Tai's rules. In a word, bureaucracy kills people!

Zhou Zhu's face darkened, "How many people have left the city since morning?"

"Go back to Zhentai, sir. All the officials' families should have left the city, and about half of the people have left."

half? It's completely over now. So many people are leaving the city with their families. As the person in charge of Feng Yutai, I don't know anything about it. I wouldn't even believe it.

Zhou Zhu's expression at this moment can no longer be described as ugly. He knew that his official career was probably over. If His Majesty knew about this, handing him over to the Yan State envoy would be the best destination. At least a small life can be saved.

Xie Shanhe also realized the seriousness of the matter, and the fire of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished. He knew that he and Zhou Zhu were completely hopeless now.

"Thank you, General Manager Wu. You two will immediately gather all the Storm Guards in the city and go out to catch up. You must bring back all the people who have left the city."

"Yes, Lord Zhentai!"

Xie Shanhe and Wu Kaiyuan both cupped their hands, turned around and left quickly...

I hope that the people who left the city have not gone far, otherwise even if they die in Yan State, I am afraid that their families will be implicated.

Although Fengyutai is under the jurisdiction of the East Palace, with such a major event happening in River Valley City, Zhou Zhu must enter the palace immediately to report the situation to His Majesty.

Zhou Zhu quickly stepped onto the carriage and said, "Enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Zhentai!"

The carriage quickly left the East Palace and rushed towards the main entrance of the palace at full speed...
