"Lin'er has learned a lesson, remember it for her husband." Looking at Cai Lin, Liu Cong was really reluctant to die so early, this girl was only eighteen years old, don't let her down. The two chatted like this, during which people came to visit Liu Cong one after another, and only left one by one with peace of mind when they saw that Liu Cong was able to eat.

There is only one person who is guarding the door every step of the way, and that is Yuqi.

Although Liu Cong took the initiative to ask not to accompany the guards, but the lord was in distress, and the captain of the guards was not around, if he changed to a more irascible master, the head of the jade man was only afraid that it would fall to the ground, although Liu Cong did not blame him, and Cai Lin did not say anything. But as soon as he saw Huang Quan's angry look, Yu Qi felt that he was derelict in his duties. In the end, it was Liu Cong who saw it and ordered Yu Qi to go back to rest, after he had stood at the door for five hours.

Since then, Yuqi has to take someone to guard Liu Cong's door every day, whether it is to atone for his sins or to make up for his mistakes, which makes Liu Cong very moved. It seems that this young man is more loyal and simple than Huang Quan!

Naturally, Liu Cong was the best medical officer in Jiangling City, but fortunately, the assassin's dagger and bow and arrow were not poisonous, and Liu Cong's body was quite strong, and the bow and arrow did not hurt the vital point. After resting in bed for seven days, Liu Cong was able to get out of bed and move.

And in the past seven days, Huang Quan and others have also found out a rough idea.

The four archers who were not hacked by Liu Cong on the spot died in the escape, and the remaining three were rescued and confessed to the real murderer behind the scenes. It was really not sent by Xiangyang, it was Wu Ju's clansmen who contacted Wu Ju's clan in Changsha and wanted to avenge Wu Ju and the clansmen who were imprisoned in Xiangyang.

This made Liu Cong understand, but Liu Cong felt that if he was Wu Ju, those clansmen should choose to kidnap themselves in exchange for clansmen. But in this way, the whole family can't stay in Jingzhou, at least not in the city.

Soon Huang Quan continued to investigate, and learned that the Wu Ju people had indeed disappeared from Jiangling and Changsha, but there had recently been a group of lake bandits on Honghu Lake, and there were many of them. It's good if it's not Liu Qi and Kuai Yue, otherwise Liu Cong is really difficult to accept. At least you and the two of them aren't to the point where you are dead or alive. But when I think about it, when will it be to a certain extent, maybe at any time.

No, you have to hurry up and get the body armor out! During the period of recuperation, Liu Cong was thinking about this personal armor every day, which could neither be too heavy nor too fragile. Because they knew that Liu Cong wanted to be injured with peace of mind, Zhuge Liang, Wen Ping and others didn't bother Liu Cong much except for courtesy to visit Liu Cong, and Liu Cong also made people block the news from Xiangyang.

He didn't want Liu Biao and Cai's to transfer themselves back to Xiangyang at this time because they were worried about themselves, let alone let Liu Qi, Kuai Yue and others see jokes, even including Pang Tong. With a rare free time, Liu Cong put all his energy into studying body armor.

First, he asked someone to find a few pairs of leather armor, dismantled them, and then asked someone to prepare strips of iron, and then selected river sand the size of a grain of rice from the Yangtze River.

After trial and error, it was naturally possible to prevent the bow and arrow from being placed between the two layers of leather to block it, and it was basically impossible for the arrow to penetrate the iron plate and reach the inner layer of leather armor. The river sand between the two layers of leather armor has very high requirements for filling, of course, the filling is good, at least it can prevent the arrows from directly penetrating the inner layer of leather armor eighty or ninety, but it is much worse in terms of slashing knives and spears.

After careful consideration, Liu Cong chose to place more than 30 thin pieces of iron between the two layers of leather armor as the armor he usually wears, including self-defense things for going out on patrols and shuttling between Jiangling and Xiangyang. As for the river sand, it can only be worn in Gangneung Castle.

However, when the conditions are ripe in the future, it is also a good choice to do some for grassroots generals and even to soldiers, so that a lot of iron can be saved.

Regarding his transformation of body armor, Liu Cong did not mention it to outsiders. But it's summer soon, which makes Liu Cong a headache, it's really inconvenient to wear this all the time in summer, and it seems that it is urgent to improve social security. However, Wen Ping and Huang Quan did this in a hurry during Liu Cong's recuperation, and even the army entered the city to maintain law and order, searching for suspicious people piece by piece.

Although this is a bit disturbing to the people, after all, it was Taishou who was assassinated, and Zhuge Liang also acquiesced in the behavior of the two, and some big clans in the city also expressed their understanding of this.

Half a month later, when Liu Cong appeared in front of everyone, Wei Yan immediately proposed to go to Honghu to suppress the bandits.

This is very much in line with Liu Cong's appetite, first of all, since Wu Ju's clansmen dare to challenge themselves, they must make them pay the price, although Honghu is the junction of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Nanjun, but after all, it is within the scope of Jingzhou. Regardless of the identity of the Wu Ju clan, Liu Cong could not tolerate the fact that there were mountain bandits, river bandits, and lake bandits in the hinterland of Jingzhou.

Second, I have been training in Gangneung for a while, so I just took this opportunity to train the soldiers and the generals under him. It is also a good opportunity for Liu Cong to be strong on the front of the people of Jingzhou.

However, before that, Liu Cong personally visited the three assassins who had killed him in the prison.

The three assassins were locked up in three separate rooms at Liu Cong's request, in order to prevent the three from colluding in confessions, and although there were special officials during the interrogation, as well as Huang Quan and others, Liu Cong insisted on finding some information on his own. On this day, Liu Cong came to the prison and let Huang Quan

Yuqi and the others watched the cell door and did not allow idlers to enter.

Liu Cong first came to the only living prison among the five people who intercepted and killed him that day

Seeing the assassin again, Liu Cong calmed down a lot, but the archer seemed very panicked, he witnessed Liu Cong kill five of his companions in an instant, and under the attack of the six, he escaped under the cover of the corpse, and killed two of them!

"What's your name?"

"Villain Wang Bao."

"Tell me, who sent you? How many benefits have you gained? Although this question was asked countless times by the officials, Liu Cong still chose this as the opening statement.

"It's the Wu family, they're ...... They hired ten of us in total, and the remuneration was a thousand gold...... "The archers were intermittent, and their eyes were evasive!"

"Oh, the Wu family? A thousand gold? How to receive? If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid that your family in Xiangyang won't survive, and I just need to spread the news that you told the truth in prison...... Presumably ......"

"The second son spares his life, the second son spares his life, please save our family......"

When Liu Cong heard it, there was a play! He originally just wanted to be false, but he didn't expect this person to be so unscrupulous. But it's no wonder that as men, they can die generously, but they can't ignore the life and death of their families, which Liu Cong has repeatedly thought about how to pry open these people's mouths before he came.

It's not that Liu Cong doesn't believe in the servants, and he doesn't believe in the ability of Huang Quan and others, these people dare to intercept and kill themselves with lethal weapons on such a blatant scale, and even women are dispatched, the division of labor and cooperation is so tight, they must have thought of the way back in advance, and once they are arrested, they will definitely spit out the words prepared in advance.

"If you want to save your family, it depends on your performance, this official will send troops soon, as long as this official declares to the outside world that it was the Wu clan who hired someone to assassinate this official, I believe that your family is safe for the time being. But if a few of you don't cooperate, I don't mind before dealing with your employers......"

"The little one understands, the little one is an archer in the army, one day, they suddenly came to me and told me that my family is in their hands, and asked me to help them complete a task, do it well, the bonus is very rich, as long as you don't reveal your identity, you can also ensure the safety of our family, and give some compensation. Childe, we soldiers are not afraid of death, we die on the battlefield and in prison, but our family is very pitiful......

The rest of the people are similar to me, and I would like to ask my son to have mercy and save our family!! Under Liu Cong's coercion, Wang Bao told the truth.

"If you want to save your family, just remember what I said below. From now on, no matter who asks, even if it is a knife on your neck, you are all hired by the Wu Ju clan! Otherwise I can't do anything about it! ”

"The villain remembered!" Although Wang Bao didn't understand what Liu Cong meant, he insisted that this confession was indeed the only thing that those of them in the cell could do for their families.
