而鎮州所留私粟十餘萬斛，殿中監王欽祚和市軍儲，乃錄以聞，給絹數萬匹以償之，重威大怒曰：「吾非反者，安得籍沒邪！」 More than a hundred thousand hu of private grain he had left at Zhenzhou was taken by Palace Director Wang Qinzuo to purchase army provisions. This was recorded and reported, and tens of thousands of bolts of silk were given in compensation. Zhongwei flew into a rage: "I am no rebel—how can my property be confiscated!"
