Hu Zong is still unaware of the changes outside the city.

But since Zhu Huan left, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

This uneasiness stems from his understanding of Han Zong.

Having guarded Yong'an with Han Zong for many years, Hu Zong may have a deeper understanding of Han Zong's banditry than others.

Hu Zong believed that when what Zhu Huan said reached Han Zong's ears, he would surely cause a lot of troubles due to his arrogant character.

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

It was not like he had never reported this matter to Sun Quan in the past.

However, his memorial was instead scolded by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was not ignorant 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 Soochow.

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 Huaibei officials are declining.

On the contrary, it was precisely because the older generation of Huaibei officials kept passing away, which strengthened Sun Quan's desire to support the second generation of Huaibei.

In Sun Quan's opinion, political balance is more important than anything else.

It was this kind of thinking that made Sun Quan have a trust in Han Zong that ordinary people could not understand.

As Sun Quan's confidant, Hu Zong could easily guess Sun Quan's thoughts.

And everything about Hu Zong comes from Sun Quan.

Therefore, he knew that Han Zong might be a hungry wolf, but he still could only sit back and watch him continue to grow.

Thinking of this, Hu Zong sighed deeply.

After sighing, Hu Zong shouted outside:

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

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

Hu Zong, who was grateful for Sun Quan's kindness in knowing him, would summon county officials to discuss government affairs almost every day.

In the past, when Hu Zong's shout came out, a response would quickly come back from outside the room.

But today, after waiting for Hu Zong's voice to fall for a long time, the outside world remained silent.

It was too quiet. This weird silence made Hu Zong panic.

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 went to the sword stand nearby to take off his sword, and then he walked towards the door with the sword in hand.

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

As the sunlight from the outside invaded, 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 didn't like him, so he would never come to the county government office if nothing happened.

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

The blood on the long knife seemed to have just been stained, and now it was falling drop by drop at Han Zong's feet.

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

"What are you doing here?"

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

Facing Hu Zong's inquiry, Han Zong first shook off the blood on the long knife in his hand, then showed a proud smile and replied to Hu Zong:

"Master Hu is not strict with his subordinates. Some people dare to disobey the master. I can't stand it and have already taken care of it for the master."

As soon as Han Zong said these words, Hu Zong's expression suddenly changed.

Hu Zong had guessed that Han Zong's arrival had bad intentions, but he never expected that Han Zong would be bold enough to kill county officials.

Such behavior is no different from treason!

"Are you crazy!

Your plundering behavior in the past has made His Majesty dissatisfied.

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

Hu Zong, who sensed danger, subconsciously wanted to bring out Sun Quan to scare Han Zong, who was "fainted".

But what Hu Zong didn't expect was that it was a good thing that he didn't mention Sun Quan. When he mentioned Sun Quan, Han Zong's eyes revealed a ruthless look.

"The man who humiliated his master and abandoned his son dares to steal the throne?"

Now that everyone has decided to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, Han Zong no longer has any scruples in front of Hu Zong.

Han Zong's words made Hu Zong take a few steps back in fright.

Dare to say these words in front of him, isn't Han Zong's intention today already obvious?

Han Zong is really crazy!

Hu Zong had thought before that Han Zong would do something extraordinary because of Zhu Huan's words.

But no matter what Hu Zong thought, he would never imagine that Han Zong was brave enough to dare to rebel.

This is in Yongan!

Hu Zong was frightened and took a few steps back. Then he saw several generals from the Jiefan Army following Han Zong.

Seeing them, Hu Zong seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He immediately took out a tiger charm from his arms and ordered to the generals of the Jiefan Army:

"Han Zong and the following are guilty of committing treason. Why don't you take him down quickly!"

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

However, after Hu Zong's words fell, the generals of the Jiefan Army did not take any action.

At the same time, they looked at Hu Zong and became more and more playful.

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

Is the prince in front of me a fool from studying?

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

Facing Hu Zong's naivety, Han Zong couldn't hold back and laughed sarcastically.

"Thanks to you, you are still called Weize, and thanks to you, you are still called one of the Four Heroes of Huaibei.

Even a stupid person like you can be in a high position, how can the Wu Kingdom survive?"

After mocking Hu Zong, before Hu Zong could react, Han Zong directly ordered the generals behind him to capture Hu Zong.

Although Hu Zong had learned some self-protection techniques, he had never been on a battlefield. How could he be a match for an experienced general 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 Jiefan Army generals.

After capturing Hu Zong, Han Zong ordered his subordinates to search Hu Zong's body for his official seal.

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

...

Today, all the major wealthy families in Yong'an City suddenly received letters from the prefect Hu Zong.

In the letter, Hu Zong, in the name of the Grand Administrator, invited the heads of major wealthy families to the county government for a banquet.

Although Hu Zong's sudden invitation today was a bit unusual, looking at the bright red official seal on the letter, the clan leaders did not become suspicious.

So when it got dark, the chiefs of the major clans gathered at the governor's mansion at Hu Zong's invitation.

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

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

There was no fighting going on at the moment, so why did Hu Zong call so many Jiefan troops into the city?

With doubts in their hearts, the clan leaders sat down at the banquet and prepared to watch the development of the situation.

But when the time came for the banquet to begin, they did not see Hu Zong appear.

Instead, they saw a figure that they least wanted to see in the past appeared in the banquet.

Han Zong!

To be honest, since Han Zong came to Yong'an City, which family's caravan has not been robbed by Han Zong?

For this reason, it is strange that the clan leaders have a good attitude towards Han Zong.

After Han Zong sat down, a clan leader stood up and asked Han Zong in a cold tone:

"Where's Mr. Fu?"
