After Han Jiujiang entered the Three Clan County, he lost news. However, Song Zheng followed his whereabouts, but did not find any special danger, which was enough to make Han Jiujiang and his three hundred dragon honor guard powerhouses lose news together.

The name of the Three Ethnic Counties comes from the fact that this place is the settlement of three ethnic groups, compared to the ordinary human race of Hongwu, they are more backward, and even the "cave people" among them are still accustomed to living in caves, which seems barbaric.

But they are already Hongwu's people, and they will not attack Hongwu's officials.

And they don't have that strength.

Song Zheng found a second Ember Black Well in a gathering area of the Dong Clan—only five hundred miles away from the previous one. However, this one seems to have just formed, and it only affected a radius of dozens of miles, and the beasts here have only just begun to alienate, and their bodies have increased by half, and they are far from reaching the level of desolate beasts.

This beast doesn't need to be cleaned up for the time being, as long as the Ember Black Well is sealed, they can slowly return to normal.

Song Zheng gradually went deeper into the three tribe counties, but he became more and more confused.

The range of the Three Clan County is seven hundred miles - even if it was the first village that Song Zheng encountered when he entered the Three Clan County before, it was located on the edge of the Three Clan County, in fact, after he discovered the first Ember Black Well, he was intimidated for thousands of miles, and almost swept away all the desolate beasts affected by the Divine Ember Black Well in the entire Three Clan County.

Then he went deep into the five hundred and found the second Ember Black Well, which is said to be a small three-clan county, and that's it, what other big secrets can be hidden?

But in the cold Jiujiang, they didn't see anyone alive or dead, and they didn't see the corpse.

Song Zheng turned around and returned to the county seat, and the county guards trembled, and took his subordinate officials to wait obediently ten miles outside the city. He was an official in the remote southwest of the country, and he had no foundation in the DPRK and China. Who was Song Zheng? It is said that the Son of Heaven wanted to break free from his shackles, and he was also "educated" and then became obedient.

His cronies have disappeared in their own jurisdiction, and no matter how you look at yourself, you are probably the one who will be angry.

He was ready to be dismissed and go home, and in the face of the anger of such a big man, even the governor couldn't withstand it, let alone him.

They waited all morning, for fear of missing Lord Song's entry into the city, and did not eat at noon - the officials took two mouthfuls of dry food from their entourage, poured a few sips of cold tea, and dealt with it like this, and then continued to wait obediently by the side of the road.

It was not until mid-afternoon that there was a slight tremor on the ground, and there was a sound of rolling thunder in the distance. Gradually, a team appeared on the land.

The immortal armor on their bodies shone brightly, and the mounts under their crotches were intimidating.

"It's coming!" Everyone cheered up, although they were apprehensive, but except for the county guard, the rest of the officials still had some luck thoughts in their hearts: What if Lord Song takes a fancy to me, with his support, I will be able to rise to prominence in the future...... So be sure to behave well.

Only Lord County Shou looked at it from a distance, and his heart chuckled: Lord Song was sitting on the riding beast, and his face looked a little gloomy.

Of course, Song Zheng's face would not look good, and he was worried. The catastrophe came, and his cronies disappeared.

The team soon approached, and the county guard knelt down with a group of officials: "Three clans county Duan Hao, see your lord." ”

Song Zheng waved his hand: "Let's go into the city." Duan Hao, the county guard, didn't dare to say much, lowered his head and led a group of officials, and followed behind Song Zheng's team. Even if Song Zheng could let the Tianzun personal guards run at full speed, but their riding beast was a demon-winged lizard dragon, and the officials behind them originally came by car, but now they stepped on the war horse and galloped all the way, and they only barely kept up. Fortunately, they are all monks, not powerless scholars, and they can withstand this kind of toss.

The distance of ten miles came in a blink of an eye, and Song Zheng left the Tianzun personal guards outside the city, and he took Hong Tiancheng and a few people into the city - the three tribes are poor counties on the border, the county is very small, and the city gate is narrow, so it cannot accommodate the Tianzun personal guards to enter the city.

Song Zheng walked into the city gate with a horsewhip, but suddenly stopped. He looked around, the city walls were dilapidated, the city protection array was in disrepair, the various defenses on the city head were seriously aging, and the only low-level combat equipment was a very old model.

He stared at him and asked, "Hong Tiancheng, has the order ever been sent back to the court?"

Hong Tiancheng has been following him for a long time, of course he understands what the lord means, and immediately bowed down and said: "The lord has sent a message, and it has been transmitted back to the court, but it has just been a few days, I am afraid that the court has just mobilized resources and sent people from the capital, and has not yet arrived in the southwest." ”

Duan Hao hurriedly bowed: "What General Hong said is extremely true, the DPRK and China have already issued a document saying that they want to gather the people in the field and repair the defense of the city, but because the road is far away, they have not yet arrived here. ”

He added, showing that he was dedicated to his work and loved the people like a son: "Don't worry, my lord, tens of thousands of people outside the city, including those who like to live in caves, have been brought into the city." Moreover, Xia Guan has raised 1.2 million yuan of jade, which is ready to be used to repair the city wall.

In addition, Xia Guan personally came forward, negotiated many times, and also invited the strongest monks of the four major sects in the three clan counties to help, and they would assist from the side to repair the city protection array as soon as possible. ”

After he said this, Song Zheng's face looked better, nodded slightly to him, and urged Hong Tiancheng: "Send an order to go back, let them speed up!"

"Honorable Order!"

Song Zheng didn't stay any longer and walked into the city quickly.

When he arrived at the hall of the county office, Song Zheng sat in the main hall, and the county officials were arranged on both sides according to the size of their official positions. At this time, just like the Son of Heaven summoning the ministers, the people who can be listed are all qualified officials in the county, which is a status symbol.

There are even people thinking in their hearts: In the future, you will have the capital to brag about with your children and grandchildren, your ancestors and me, but the people who have met His Excellency Song Zheng.

As for whether His Excellency Song Zheng saw them or not, it didn't matter.

Song Zheng glanced around at everyone, and all the officials chuckled in their hearts, and subconsciously bent over a little. Song Zheng realized something, he was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little outward. He's a veteran town, how can these officials stand it?

He restrained some of his authority, and then spoke: "You all know what this official is doing. Duan Ho ......"

The county guard hurriedly stepped out: "The lower official is here." ”

"Han Jiujiang lost contact immediately after entering the Three Clans County, what information do you have?"

"This ......" Duan Hao saw sweat on his forehead, and couldn't answer: "Xiaguan and Xiaguan have sent people to investigate many times, but there are no clues." General Han's matter is really weird......"

"Hmph!" Song Zheng interrupted him with a cold snort, if it weren't for the fact that this is an extraordinary time and more needs stability, Song Zheng may have dropped a comment of "corpse vegetarian meal", and this career of pickaxe in this life will come to an end.

Duan Hao knelt on the ground with a plop: "The lower official is incompetent, please forgive your sins!"

"What about the others?" Song Zheng continued, "But what did you find?"

There was silence in the lobby, and you could hear a needle dropped on the ground.

Although Song Zheng guessed that he might find nothing, it was really a situation, and he was inevitably a little irritable. Suddenly, at the back of the officials, a somewhat timid voice came: "Big, big, the villain has made a discovery." ”

Song Zheng shouted: "Come forward and speak!"

"Yes, yes......" Someone in the back squeezed to the front in embarrassment and knelt in front of Song Zheng: "Small, villain, Ji Wuchang, is a scribe of the county office, and is responsible for checking some official documents and accounts on weekdays......"

Song Zheng said: "Let's talk about the point. ”

"Yes. Ji Wuchang shuddered: "The villain checked some accounts a few days ago and found that Quanyangyi had a reception on April 5, and the accounts were huge, and I am afraid there were hundreds of people." ”

Song Zheng's heart moved: Han Jiujiang arrived in Sanzu County on April 5, and there was no news after that.

Ji Wuchang took out a page from his arms and opened it: "The villain made a record, and he was about to tell the county guard today, but he didn't want the adult to come." ”

Song Zheng waved his hand, and the piece of paper fell into his hand.

It recorded this reception, and sure enough, it was Han Jiujiang and them, they entered the Quanyang Post around the time of the unitary time, and then stationed down, and ordered the post to prepare the meal.

Because of the large number of people, Yi Cheng sent people to nearby towns to procure, and only then did he gather enough food for 300 people.

Then early the next morning, Han Jiujiang and they left.

Ji Wuchang said: "Quanyang Station is the first post station after entering the Three Clans County, and because the accounts between Quanyang Station and the county town are also settled once a month at the edge of the road, we didn't find this before. Yesterday, the accounts of Quanyangyi were delivered. ”

Song Zheng frowned, in this way, Han Jiujiang did not lose news as soon as he entered the Three Clans County, but rested for one night and disappeared after leaving Quanyang Station.

It's just that he didn't contact Long Yiwei that night at Quanyang Station, so he caused this illusion.

Song Zheng nodded and looked at Ji Wuchang: "Not bad." ”

Ji Wuchang hurriedly bowed: "I don't dare to praise adults for what is within my account." ”

The county officials below were extremely jealous: It was a good opportunity, but unfortunately he was caught by this kid, and he had nothing to do.

Song Zheng thought for a while and ordered: "Set off immediately and go to Quanyang Station." ”

Duan Hao originally prepared a banquet, but at this time, he didn't dare to keep Song Zheng, for fear that he would be scolded as soon as he opened his mouth. Song Zheng came and went in a hurry, took a turn in the county town, and immediately left the city and went straight to Quanyangyi.

This time, he brought the little scribe Ji Wuchang.

At the same time, no one noticed that there were three people missing from Song Zheng's Tianzun personal guards, and they were secretly left in the county town by Song Zheng to conduct some necessary investigations.

Until Han Jiujiang is found, everything is possible. He needs his cronies to investigate whether Han Jiujiang's disappearance has anything to do with the officialdom of the Three Clans County.

In the past, it was not that similar things happened, the local officialdom was corrupt and corrupt, Long Yiwei supervised the world and found problems, and the magistrate was afraid of the incident, so he secretly became Long Yiwei's errand officer. ()
