Hu Feng took the tea cup and took a sip, his stiff body immediately became much more comfortable.
Zhou Gang said again: "Why don't you do this, your subordinates will take some people to explore, and if there is anything, you can deal with it in time."
Hu Feng nodded: "It's okay, you go immediately and investigate in three ways. No matter what happens, don't act rashly. Report me first."
Zhou Gang retired and called the soldiers. He was about to leave the camp, but when the spies sent out came back hurriedly, he hurriedly stopped the people: "What's the situation."
The spy hurriedly said: "Going back to the general, something bad happened. The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin was abused in Jinyang County. The son of King Jin was wounded and fled while fighting the gangsters. Now his whereabouts are unknown. Princess Jin was poisoned and was in a coma for many days. If you don’t wake up, I’m afraid you will die soon, and the accompanying guards and maids have been killed and injured countless."
Zhou Gang's expression changed drastically: "What? Why didn't you see the person in charge of the post to report this big event?"
The spy said again: "The steward and the guys in the postmanager were all killed, so no one came to report."
Zhou Gang dropped the horse, pulled the spies, and went to find Hu Feng.
After listening to Hu Feng, he also felt suspicious.
After the spies retreated, he asked Zhou Gang, "What do you think?"
Zhou Gang said: "The last general thought that the matter was quite strange. The group of people fell down, the prince was seriously injured and disappeared, but the princess was poisoned. It just so happened that the principals in the post house died, and there was not even a messenger. The strangest thing was that, The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were accompanied by them. Are they all dead? Even if they were all dead, the Jinyang government didn't even know about such a big case in the post house? This is so unusual."
Hu Feng nodded: "More than that, Jinyang is only sixty miles away from Qingyang. We have camped here for many days. It is impossible for Jinyang County to not know."
Zhou Gang replied: "Yes, Jin Guo went to my country through Jinyang County. This route was set long ago. At that time, the emperor had a special order to order the state officials on the route map to do a good job. Regarding the reception matters, the post house was re-decorated. As the county magistrate, he must always pay attention to the envoys and his party. It is impossible not to know that something happened to the post house."
"Let’s go to Jinyang first. We will pretend to go ahead with two and let the brothers leave the camp after a long time."
Zhou Gang immediately understood. After all, after spending a long time with Hu Feng, he could guess what he was thinking as soon as Hu Feng spoke.
An hour later, Hu Feng and Zhou Gang wore ordinary cloths and set off from the small road. When Jin Yang was close in front of them, they went to the official road.
There are two post houses in Jinyang. One is outside the city, mostly for officials and pedestrians on the night road to temporarily settle down, and the other is inside the city, just like the inn, but much larger than the ordinary inn, and the decoration is more rigid. The stewards and staff in it are all staff arranged by the government to entertain the leading officials above the sixth rank of the dynasty, as well as the envoys.
Hu Feng and Zhou Gang went straight into the city. Jinyang came to the post in the city from the beginning. They were originally scheduled to stay only one night. They set off for Beijing the next morning. If nothing happens, they will be able to arrive at Qing Dynasty at the latest on the sixth day of the year. Yang County.
Today, it is the seventh day of the new year.
When the two came to the post house, they saw that the door was closed tightly, and there seemed to be bloody handprints on the door, but the blood stains dried up early. The stone steps outside the door were covered with hard snow that was faintly visible under the snow. Bright red spots of blood.
Zhou Gang stepped forward to pat the door, and without a response for a while, he kicked the door open.
