Song Zheng took the official document and looked through it, since the last time he left the county, Duan Hao would send an official document urging him every day. Although this frequency seems to be a bit dense, most of it is Duan Ho who deliberately did it in order to have the opportunity to take credit or shirk responsibility in front of him, but he did not lie.

He frowned, and secretly calculated that it had been more than half a month since he had passed the order back, and even if the southwest region was remote, the first batch of formation divisions should have arrived.

He called Hong Tiancheng in: "Ask the Ministry of Works, what's going on." ”

Lord Song's tone was very light, but Hong Tiancheng knew him very well, which was a precursor to an outburst of adults. If the Ministry of Industry does not have a reasonable explanation, someone will definitely be unlucky this time.

He immediately went out and contacted the DPRK to question.

After a while, Hong Tiancheng came back: "My lord, the Ministry of Engineering has replied, their formation division has been sent, the first batch of three hundred people, has set off ten days ago, but the journey is a little slow, and it has not arrived yet." ”

"Where?"

Hong Tiancheng replied: "The Ministry of Industry doesn't know now, they said to contact those formation masters immediately to inquire." ”

Song Zheng snorted coldly, thought about it and asked, "Is the Yuanyu of the household department in place?" Duan Hao hurriedly stepped forward: "It was already there four days ago." Xiaguan heard that it was personally escorted by the three Xuantong ancestors, and after arriving in the southwest, they were sent to the following counties by the overhaul. ”

The household department made Song Zheng very satisfied.

He said to Hong Tiancheng: "I found those formation masters of the Ministry of Industry, you personally go on a trip and bring them over." ”

"Yes!"

That night, Song Zheng meditated and secretly deduced the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Hong Tiancheng has been waiting for news, in the second half of the night, the Ministry of Industry found those formation masters through the homophone bone note, Hong Tiancheng set off immediately, he is already the level of Xuantong Ancestor, plus a magic weapon, as fast as flying, when the sun just rose, he came back with people.

It's just that the guards can see that Hong Tiancheng's face is very ugly.

Han Jiujiang greeted him and asked, "What's going on?"

Hong Tiancheng gritted his teeth: "These rabbit cubs in the Ministry of Industry, the adults are desperate for the birth and death of the world, but they still don't let the adults worry, you wait, this time the Ministry of Industry is going to have a big incident, these stupid pigs!"

After Hong Tiancheng went in to report, soon the guards outside received an order from the adults and brought the batch of 300 array divisions in.

Song Zheng looked at it, anger surged, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is the leader, come forward to speak!"

A formation master stepped forward tremblingly, and knelt down with weak knees: "Yes, it's a villain." ”

Song Zheng glanced at it, this person was a third-order formation master. This is already the strongest of the first batch of three hundred array divisions, and apart from him, there is no one above the third order. The eyes are full of first-order and second-order formation masters.

These people are not wrong to say that they are formation masters, after all, they can also set up formations, of course, the first-order and second-order formations are not a problem, but the city protection array is at least the fifth order, the county is at least the sixth order, the state capital is at least the seventh order, and even some wealthy state capitals are often the eighth order large array, or even the ninth order.

These first-order and second-order formation masters, in such a task, at most, are to follow the big formation masters, and there is absolutely no reason to send them out first. What can they do when they come to the southwest? Expect them to come and repair the city guard? That's impossible.

Song Zheng didn't embarrass this small formation master, they couldn't help themselves with this kind of thing. He asked in a deep voice, "Who is the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry?"

He has not been in charge of the affairs of the imperial court for a long time, and the change of officials in the court and China over the years is not clear.

Hong Tiancheng stepped forward to report: "It's Zhao Yinglai." ”

Song Zheng nodded: "Let the brothers of Jingshi investigate this matter, and within half a day, I will know the answer." Hong Tiancheng kowtowed and retreated, and quickly summoned the Jingshi.

The third-order formation master wanted to speak and stopped, but Song Zheng saw it and asked, "What do you want to say?" The third-order formation master asked cautiously: "My lord, the legend is that the world's great tribulation is coming, but, is it true?"

Song Zheng was curious: "Where did you hear this kind of news?"

The third-order formation master said: "The Ministry of Engineering has spread all over the country, and it is said that it is ......" He suddenly realized something, and hurriedly stopped talking. Song Zheng frowned: "What are you talking about?"

The third-order array master just kowtowed: "My lord, you can go to the Ministry of Engineering and ask, and you will know, the small one really doesn't dare to say." ”

Song Zheng glanced at him coldly, waved his hand, and said, "Let them all go down." ”

......

As soon as I asked, I knew that Song Zheng gave Jingshi Long Yiwei half a day, but in fact, it only took an hour for Long Yiwei to investigate clearly, and soon a report was sent back to Song Zheng's hands:

The Ministry of Industry is full of rumors about the catastrophe of heaven and earth, Zhao Yinglai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Dong Chun, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and Mao Renjie, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, recruited the world's skilled craftsmen to build a "Cave of Destruction Mansion" in full swing to avoid this catastrophe!

Moreover, they have secretly communicated with many officials in the DPRK and China, and obtained the support of these officials on the condition that they are allowed to enter the Destruction Cave Mansion, including the second assistant Liu Zhao.

At the same time, in this report, Jingshi Long Yiwei also noted: The Supervision Yuan is already investigating this matter, and it is said that a lawsuit has been filed in the Criminal Litigation Hall to investigate the crime of Zhao Yinglai and Liu Zhao forming a party for personal gain.

The only thing that Song Zheng feels relieved about may be that in this matter, the Supervision Yuan and the Criminal Litigation Hall have played a role, and the restructuring he painstakingly carried out has not become an ornament.

However, Zhao Yinglai actually wanted to build a "World Destroying Cave Mansion" to avoid disaster, so he ignored the life and death of the people in the southwest, detained the real formation master, and assigned the first and second orders to perfunctory himself, and Song Zheng was a little angry.

He closed the report of the Jingshi Long Yiwei and tapped it with his fingers: "All the people mentioned above, let them come to see me immediately!"

Hong Tiancheng knelt down and asked, "My lord, how long will it be?"

"In half an hour!"

"Yes!"

From Jingshi to the southwest, tens of thousands of miles away, even Liu Zhao and Zhao Yinglai are at the level of Xuantong Ancestors, and it is not easy to arrive within half an hour.

After the order was issued, Song Zheng waved his hand, and his own personal guards erected a sundial to count the time.

Song Zheng had a calm face and sat on the side. Before half an hour had passed, Liu Zhao and Zhao Yinglai had also arrived, and suddenly someone broke in quickly, kneeling on the ground with a thud: "My lord, I just received an urgent report, just last night, Miaoling County, Yuanzhou, was besieged by wild beasts, the city was broken, and the people in the city were not alive!"

Song Zheng's breath sank, and there were dark clouds over the entire county town, and dark red thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds, which was extremely terrifying.

"My lord!" Hong Tiancheng reminded, Song Zheng waved his hand lightly, gritted his teeth and said, "This is Zhao Yinglai's sin!"

He asked, "How long is the time?"

The guard guarding the sundial replied loudly: "Half an hour!"

Song Zheng nodded slowly, and in another half an hour, if Zhao Ying didn't come to them, Song Zheng would immediately personally kill back to the Beijing Division, cut melons and vegetables, and straighten these scum on the spot.

Seeing that the shadow in the sundial was about to arrive, and the time limit of half an hour given by Song Zheng was about to arrive, suddenly a huge light rushed from the northeast direction, with a sharp long whistle, and slammed down on the square in front of them.

In the midst of the loud noise, the stone slabs on the square flew up in all directions, and several figures staggered in the light, and finally stood firm.

Several people faced Song Zheng and bowed: "Subordinates see your lordship." ”

Song Zheng had already seen the appearance of these four people from Long Yiwei's recital, he glanced at it, and said coldly: "Liu Zhao, Zhao Yinglai, Dong Chun, Mao Renjie!"

He called out to one person, and the following answered.

Song Zheng asked, "You can be convicted!"

Zhao Yinglai stepped forward without fear: "My lord, my subordinates know what my lord said, but my subordinates feel that their subordinates are not guilty of this matter!"

Song Zheng was furious and laughed back at his vibrating voice: "How can I reward you for my meritorious deeds?" Why don't I reward you with the tens of thousands of unjust souls who died at the mouth of the beast tide in Miaoling County last night?"

Zhao Yinglai was not surprised, nor did he panic, but said: "My lord, the catastrophe in the world is coming, we can't protect so many people, these people will die sooner or later, those people in Miaoling County are just relieved earlier."

And this plan of the lower officials is the key to ensuring the continuation of the fire of human civilization, and they can be regarded as sacrificing their lives for this plan, and there is glory in death!"

Hong Tiancheng and Han Jiujiang listened to this person's shameless strong words on the side, and they were already so angry that they were smoking, if it weren't for the adults still standing on it, they might have rushed up and tore this shameless man apart.

The second assistant Liu Zhao and Zhao Yinglai, like them, were all promoted after Song Zheng released power and went to the base camp. He took a step forward and arched his hand and said, "My lord, although Lord Zhao's words sound harsh, they are the truth. ”

"Xia Guan has carefully checked his plan to destroy the world's cave mansion, and he is at least seventy percent sure that he can avoid the catastrophe of the world. ”

"This is our last retreat, of course, we should give priority to ensuring the supply of everything, there are only so many high-level array divisions, and it is a pity that we can't take care of the southwest. But the Destruction of the World Cave Mansion is very important, isn't it right to sacrifice some inconsequential lives for the sake of the righteousness of the entire human race?"

These people are clearly wrong, but they are full of words, and they feel that they occupy the righteousness. Song Zheng was furious: "The human race has never lacked sacrifices, but what has been recited through the ages is self-sacrifice, not wanton sacrifice of other innocent lives. Your sins are unforgivable, and you are even more ignorant and reckless, and it is not a pity to die!"

As soon as he raised his hand, before the supernatural power could be issued, Zhao Yinglai had already jumped to his feet and shouted: "I don't accept it! I have the righteousness, why should I kill me? It is very important to continue the fire of civilization for the human race!"
