Chapter 714: Yong'an Incident: Proclamation to Prefectures and Counties
Hu Zong was still unaware of the events outside the city.

But ever since Zhu Huan left, he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.

This uneasiness stems from his understanding of Korean variety shows.

Having guarded Yong'an together with Han Zong for many years, Hu Zong may understand Han Zong's banditry better than others.

Hu Zong believed that when Han Zong heard what Zhu Huan said, given his arrogant character, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

In fact, Hu Zong, who has always been aloof, was very disdainful of Han Zong's illegal behavior.

He had reported this matter to Sun Quan before.

However, his memorial was instead reprimanded by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was not completely unaware of Han Zong's behavior, but compared to the boiling public resentment, Sun Quan was more concerned about the unity of the Huaibei political group within the Eastern Wu.

As we all know, since the time of Sun Ce, the head of the Sun family has had a political tradition of supporting officials in Huaibei and checking and balancing officials in Jiangdong.

This tradition has not changed even as the number of officials in Huaibei is gradually decreasing.

On the contrary, it was precisely because the older generation of Huaibei officials continued to pass away that Sun Quan became more determined to support the second generation of Huaibei.

In Sun Quan's view, political balance is above all else.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that makes Sun Quan have a trust in Han Zong that ordinary people cannot understand.

As Sun Quan's confidant, it was not difficult for Hu Zong to guess Sun Quan's thoughts.

Everything Hu Zong had came from Sun Quan.

Therefore, even though he knew that Han Zong might be a hungry wolf, he could only sit back and watch him grow stronger.

Thinking of this, Hu Zong sighed deeply.

After sighing, Hu Zong shouted outside:

"Come here, quickly gather all the county officials."

Although Hu Zong had doubts about Han Zong, it was impossible for Hu Zong to only think about this and ignore his own business.

Hu Zong, grateful for Sun Quan's recognition and support, would convene officials from the county government almost every day to discuss state affairs.

In the past, when Hu Zong’s shout was heard, a response would quickly come from outside the room.

But today, after Hu Zong's voice had been heard for a long time, the outside world remained silent.

It was too quiet, this eerie silence was so quiet that Hu Zong couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Hu Zong quickly realized that something was wrong. There was no way his subordinates would dare to ignore his orders.

Hu Zong quickly stood up and took his sword from the sword rack beside him, then he walked out the door with the sword in his hand.

But just as Hu Zong walked to the door, it was suddenly knocked open by a huge force.

As the sunlight from outside came in, Hu Zong squinted his eyes and saw a familiar figure.

"Han Zong?"

Hu Zong's voice was full of doubts.

In the past, Han Zong knew that he disliked him and would never come to the county government unless necessary.

When doubts arose in his heart, Hu Zong's eyes fell on the bloody long knife in Han Zong's hand.

The blood on the long sword seemed to have just been stained, and now it was dripping down at Han Zong's feet.

This bloody scene made Hu Zong's face immediately serious.

"What are you doing here?"

If Hu Zong didn't know at this moment that Han Zong came with malicious intentions, then he would be too stupid.

Facing Hu Zong's question, Han Zong first shook off the blood on the long sword in his hand, then showed a smug smile and replied to Hu Zong:
"Lord Hu is not strict with his subordinates. Someone dared to disobey his orders. I cannot bear to see this. I have already dealt with him."

As soon as Han Zong said this, Hu Zong's face suddenly changed.

Hu Zong guessed that Han Zong's arrival was ill-intentioned, but he never expected that Han Zong would be so bold as to murder the county officials.

How is such behavior different from treason!
"Are you crazy!
Your looting behavior in the past has already displeased His Majesty.

You are so bold now that you dare to kill an official of the imperial court. Once this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty, aren't you afraid of the wrath of thunder?"

Hu Zong, sensing danger, subconsciously wanted to bring up Sun Quan to intimidate the "confused" Han Zong.

But what Hu Zong did not expect was that it would be fine if he did not mention Sun Quan. As soon as he mentioned Sun Quan, Han Zong's eyes revealed a cruel look.

"How dare a man who insults his teacher and abandons his son to steal the throne?"

Since they have decided to turn from darkness to light, Han Zong no longer has any scruples in front of Hu Zong.

Han Zong's words scared Hu Zong so much that he took several steps back.

Dare to say these words in front of me, isn't Han Zong's intention today very obvious?
Korean variety shows are really crazy!
Hu Zong had thought before that Han Zong would do something extraordinary because of Zhu Huan's words.

But no matter how Hu Zong thought about it, he would never have imagined that Han Zong was so bold as to commit treason.

This is in Yong'an!

Hu Zong was so frightened that he took several steps back. Then he saw several generals of the Jiefan Army following Han Zong.

Seeing them, Hu Zong felt as if he had found a life-saving straw. He immediately took out a tiger talisman from his pocket and ordered the generals of the Jiefan Army:
"Han Zong is guilty of treason, why don't you arrest him immediately!"

Those generals of the Jiefan Army were under the command of Hu Zong.

However, after Hu Zong finished speaking, the generals of the Jiefan Army did not take any action.

At the same time, their eyes towards Hu Zong became more and more playful.

In their eyes, Hu Zong is now like a clown.

Has this gentleman in front of me become stupid because of reading too much?

Do you really think you can command them with just a tiger talisman?

Faced with Hu Zong's naivety, Han Zong couldn't help but laughed sarcastically.

"It's a pity that your courtesy name is Weize, and it's a pity that you are called one of the Four Heroes of Huaibei.

If even a fool like you can hold a high position, how can the Wu Kingdom not perish? "

After mocking Hu Zong, while Hu Zong had not yet reacted, Han Zong directly ordered the generals behind him to arrest Hu Zong.

Although Hu Zong had learned some self-defense skills, he had never been on the battlefield. How could he be a match for the experienced veteran in such a hurry?

In just a moment, the weapon in Hu Zong's hand was removed, and he was pinned to the ground by several generals of the Jiefan Army.

After capturing Hu Zong, Han Zong instructed his men to search Hu Zong for his official seal.

After holding Hu Zong's official seal in his hand, a hint of madness flashed in Han Zong's eyes.

Today, all the major aristocratic families in Yong'an City suddenly received a letter from the prefect Hu Zong.

In the letter, Hu Zong, in the name of the prefect, invited the patriarchs of the major wealthy families to attend a banquet at the county government.

Although it was a bit unusual for Hu Zong to suddenly invite them today, the clan leaders did not become suspicious when seeing the bright red official seal on the letter.

So when it gradually darkened, the clan leaders gathered in the county magistrate's mansion at the invitation of Hu Zong.

After arriving at the county magistrate's mansion, the clan leaders became more and more aware of something strange.

They discovered that the number of guards in the county governor's mansion was several times more than usual.

There was no war going on at the moment, so why did Hu Zong mobilize so many soldiers into the city?

With doubts in their hearts, the clan leaders sat down at the banquet, ready to watch how the situation would develop.

But when the banquet was about to start, they did not see Hu Zong appear.

Instead, they saw a figure that they least wanted to see appear at the banquet.

Korean variety show!

To be honest, since Han Zong came to Yong'an City, which family's caravan has not been robbed by Han Zong?
With this reason in mind, it would be strange if the clan leaders would have a good attitude towards Han Zong.

After Han Zong sat down, a clan leader immediately stood up and asked Han Zong in a cold tone:
"Where is the Lord?"

This clan leader is a branch of the Wujun Zhu family in Jiangxia.

With Zhu Huan's support and an old grudge between him and Han Zong, the clan leader finally had the courage to become the first person to ask Han Zong directly about Hu Zong's whereabouts.

As soon as the Zhu clan leader asked this question, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became noisy.

With someone taking the lead, many people naturally stopped suppressing their inner doubts and began to ask about Hu Zong's whereabouts.

Of course, like Hu Zong, the clan leaders have not yet thought that Han Zong is plotting treason. They think that today's banquet is a trap set by Han Zong and Hu Zong.

One plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop, trying to gain benefits from them.

As the scene gradually became noisy, the Korean variety show was not dragged out at all.

He clapped his hands gently.

After Han Zong applauded, Hu Zong, who was tied up, was brought in by several Jiefan soldiers.

When seeing Hu Zong appear in such an embarrassed state, every clan leader at the banquet couldn't help but widen their eyes.

That’s Hu Zong!

He was not only the governor of Jiangxia, but also Sun Quan's confidant and the embodiment of Sun Quan's will in Jiangxia County.

Han Zong actually tied him up and treated him like a prisoner?
Such behavior.
None of the clan leaders knew what words to use to describe it.

The Zhu clan leader was the hardest hit.

He looked at Hu Zong who was tied up, and then looked at Han Zong who looked smug. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said something to Han Zong in disbelief:

"You, are you crazy?
You are plotting treason!"

When Han Zong heard the words of the Zhu clan leader, he couldn't help but reach out and scratch his ears.

If I remember correctly, this is the second time someone has said he is crazy.

But what if I'm crazy?

It was Sun Quan who forced him to do it.

Since he wants to go crazy, he will drag the entire Yong'an City with him!

Han Zong directly asked someone to bring Hu Zong to him.

Hu Zong's mouth was blocked by a rag and he couldn't say anything.

But when he came in front of Han Zong, he kept whimpering loudly, as if accusing Han Zong of treason.

Facing Hu Zong's accusation, Han Zong stood up and held Hu Zong's arm, then he turned Hu Zong around to face the clan leaders present.

Under the gaze of the clan leaders, Han Zong first carefully tidied up Hu Zong's tangled clothes and crown.

Han Zong's behavior was very gentle, as if Hu Zong was his good friend.

After seeing Han Zong's behavior, not only the clan leaders but also Hu Zong gradually calmed down.

Could it be that they all misunderstood Korean variety shows?
But just as this thought emerged in everyone's mind, the next moment Han Zong took a few steps back, then suddenly drew out the long knife from his waist and chopped hard at Hu Zong's neck.

Han Zong's sword is a rare steel sword, extremely sharp.

In addition, Han Zong swung with all his strength, so when the steel knife drew a graceful arc, Hu Zong's head was separated from his body in an instant.

A large amount of blood spurted out from the broken neck of Hu Zong, splashing on Han Zong and several clan leaders who were closest to him.

This sudden scene frightened all the clan leaders present and they fell to the ground.

When Hu Zong's body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, the clan leaders had not yet recovered from their shock and fear.

Obviously, Han Zong was still fixing Hu Zong's makeup the moment before.
Han Zong was fixing Hu Zong's makeup, and actually wanted to send Hu Zong on his way.

Smelling the strong smell of blood, all the clan leaders were so frightened that they were speechless.

For the first time, they truly realized the madness of Korean variety shows.

With this strike of his sword, he directly cut off all routes of retreat!

Looking at the clan leaders who fell to the ground one by one, Han Zong showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Sun Quan is not a virtuous man, and the government of Wu is in a dark place. I wish to follow the righteousness and submit to General Tiance.

General Tiance and I have never met before, so since this is our first meeting, I have to give him a greeting gift.

It just so happens that General Tian Ce wants Yong'an City. As a subject, I can only do my best to plan to satisfy General Tian Ce.

You are all famous figures in Yong'an City. Without you, Yong'an City would be incomplete.

I wonder if you are willing to join me in heading towards the light?"

Han Zong tried his best to make his tone gentler so as not to scare these fat and big-eared clan leaders.

After the "gentle" persuasion, Han Zong, who didn't want to wait too long, said directly:

"Those who wish to join me, stand on the left.

I will only give you ten seconds to think about it."

After saying that, Han Zong actually started counting.

"one three"

What the clan leaders didn't expect was that after Han Zong counted one, he jumped directly to three.

This move by Han Zong almost made them vomit blood in anger.

"Four, six!"

And when Han Zong counted to six again, which was not normal, the clan leaders knew that they didn't have much time to consider.

Thinking of this, for the safety of themselves and their families, most of the clan leaders hurriedly crawled to the left.

Yes, just crawl.

Han Zong's behavior just now had frightened all the clan leaders to the point of losing their strength.

"eighty!"

When Han Zong counted to ten, the clan leaders in the field had clearly split into two factions.

Most of the clan leaders stood on the left, but a small number of clan leaders stood still.

This small group of clan leaders are not afraid of death.

But they, like the patriarch of the Zhu family, are branches of the major families in Wu County in Jiangxia.

For the sake of their master, they had no choice but to sacrifice themselves.

When facing this group of clan leaders, Han Zong didn't even blink an eye.

Han Zong waved his hand lightly, and all the soldiers in the banquet stepped forward and swung their butcher knives at them.

For a moment, all kinds of screams rang out at the banquet.

Seeing their good friends, who had just been chatting and laughing with them, now slowly falling in a pool of blood, the clan leaders standing on the left were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

What they fear most is soldiers who are completely unreasonable and arbitrarily exercise their power.

But Han Zong was very satisfied with the massacre scene before him.

Before reaching the light, one always has to go through some bloody darkness.

Not long after, when the screams at the banquet gradually stopped, Han Zong directly issued an order:
"Send an edict to the prefectures and counties.

Wu Hanzong has rebelled! "
