When Liu Cong heard Lu Yi's voice, he screamed in fright and hurriedly hid the portrait in his sleeve.
When he saw it was Lu Yi, he took a long breath and said angrily: "Are you sick? You scared me to death! You can't say anything? If it were anyone else, I would stab him to death today!"
Seeing Lu Yi standing without daring to say a word, Liu Cong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it! After all, you are also my aide, and you helped me save the day from danger this time, so I won't argue with you anymore!"
Lu Yi thanked him and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master!"
Liu Cong then took out the portrait and lay on the bed. While continuing to look at it with a leering look, he said: "By the way, someone from Cai just sent a message, and I will be sick in bed from now on. If anything happens, you and She butts.”
Lu Yi hummed and said, "No problem. It's my honor to be able to serve the Second Young Master."
Liu Cong turned his head and said with a smile: "That's right! When I become the shepherd of Jingzhou, I will make you a high official."
"If it's too big, you may not be able to do it. You are just a businessman."
"Since ancient times, businessmen have always been inferior. If I really let you become a high official, all other civil and military officials will object."
"However, it is still possible to be a minor official, such as a county magistrate or a county lieutenant."
"Of course, you also have some ideas."
"As long as you take care of me well, it's okay for you to follow me and do some driving work in the future."
Lu Yi said: "I will go through fire and water for you, no matter what!"
Liu Cong waved his hand and said, "Okay, get out!"
Lu Yi then withdrew.
He walked around.
Everyone in the entire Second Young Master's residence was cleared out.
For now, he's the only one in there.
There were soldiers patrolling outside the Second Young Master's residence.
Lu Yi walked around again and again to determine the route to escape.
The poisoning of Jingzhou shepherd Liu Biao and his second son Liu Cong shocked the entire Jingzhou.
Especially the second young master passed out.
Fortunately, the medical workers arrived and treated the second young master, putting him out of danger for the time being.
As for Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, although there are still poison residues in his body, he is still considered normal.
The civil and military officials in Jingzhou couldn't believe that something like this happened in the General's Mansion.
Officials headed by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others held a meeting in the hall of the General's Mansion.
Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others pointed their fingers at the eldest son and Huo Jun, who was in charge of patrol in the general's mansion, and suggested that they be arrested for interrogation.
Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Du, Liu Xian and others made fierce rebuttals.
There was even a fight at the meeting.
In the end, after diagnosis and treatment, Liu Biao, who found no abnormalities for the time being, had to come out to mediate.
After some discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement on two points:
First, the eldest son Liu Qi cannot be the murderer of the poison.
He is kind-hearted and filial, and he is also the most likely person to inherit the position of Jingzhou Shepherd, so there is no need.
Second, the patrol led by Huo Jun was withdrawn and a group of patrols were reorganized to protect the safety of the general's mansion.
Everything in Jingzhou seems to be calm again.
Although Liu Cong regained consciousness, he was still in poor health and could not get out of bed.
Liu Biao came to see him once and comforted Liu Cong.
On the third day, what no one expected was that Liu Biao, who had been fine for the first two days, suddenly couldn't get out of bed!
The medical workers have obviously been helping to deal with the remaining poison in Liu Biao's body for the past two days.
But they seemed to underestimate the toxicity of the poison.
After two days and two nights, the remaining poison has spread and invaded the internal organs!
Cai Mao was furious and sent people to kill the medical workers who had previously treated Liu Cong and Liu Biao, and then found new medical workers to treat Liu Biao and Liu Cong.
The diagnosis given by the new medical engineer was that Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao had been deeply poisoned long before Liu Cong.
It just wasn't diagnosed.
The sudden deterioration of Liu Biao's condition caused Jingzhou's civil and military officials to fall into nervousness and panic.
All civil and military officials came from all over Jingzhou.
On the one hand, everyone wants to find out the real murderer who poisoned Liu Biao and Liu Cong.
On the other hand, just in case, the position of the crown prince must be determined.
Many officials and celebrities supported Liu Qi.
Liu Qi, who has always been well received, fell into trouble at this time.
The four major wealthy families in Jingzhou, headed by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu, all rejected Liu Qi!
They all thought that Liu Qi still could not get rid of the suspicion of poisoning.
Suddenly, even Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan and others became suspicious.
After all, Liu Cong and Liu Biao were poisoned together.
Liu Biao only had two sons.
Liu Cong is now poisoned. Once he dies, only Liu Qi will take over as the heir apparent of Jingzhou.
Liu Qi could not argue.
He wanted to find his father Liu Biao to prove his innocence.
Moreover, Liu Biao had always insisted that Liu Qi could not poison him.
What he didn't expect was that Mrs. Cai blocked the door of the General's Mansion, insisting not to let Liu Qi in, and declared that Liu Qi would never be allowed near the General's Mansion until Liu Qi was cleared of the suspicion of poisoning Liu Biao, Liu Cong and his son. To prevent him from poisoning again.
If she didn't obey, she would be killed directly at the door of the general's mansion.
Liu Qi had no choice but to wait at the door of the general's mansion, waiting for Liu Biao to summon him.
However, at this time, inside the general's mansion, Liu Biao's bedroom.
Liu Biao lay motionless on the bed.
There were several maids standing outside his bedroom door.
There was no one in the bedroom.
After a while, Liu Biao opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Come here, I'm a little thirsty. Give me some water."
But no one answered him!
Liu Biao struggled to get up, but he had no strength.
Liu Biao looked at the door of the room.
There was a murderous look in his eyes.
Although he was poisoned and bedridden these days.
However, after the events of the past few days and the current situation, he thought of a possibility that he did not want to admit: that is, the poisoning of his second son Liu Cong was fake! In other words, although he was poisoned, he was just pretending to be poisoned, and then the doctor found out. But the poisoning happened before. However, because the poison acted very slowly and he didn't notice it, the poison invaded the internal organs and there was no way to save him. As for the medical workers who diagnosed and treated him, they had actually been bribed! When they were treating themselves, they lied and said they were fine! In fact, if diagnosed and treated at that time, it is possible to cure it.
In other words, the person who poisoned him, although he had guessed it before, but did not want to admit it, was his second son!
To be precise, it was the second son who united with the Cai family!
Otherwise, given his courage, wisdom, and ability, he would never have been able to come up with such a vicious strategy and bribe the medical workers.
But it was very simple for Mr. Cai to bribe those medical workers.
After all, the Cai family behind her is one of the four major families in Jingzhou.
It seems that their purpose is obvious.
That is because they want to leave the throne to their second son.
And the second son is just a puppet of the Cai family, or in other words, the four major families!
Liu Biao suddenly thought of another thing.
That was the mysterious death of Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family.
When he rode alone into Jingzhou, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others followed him and poisoned other wealthy family heads and their families in Jingzhou.
In the past few years, the four major families have grown stronger, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others have long since changed their minds.
Only Kuai Liang was still loyal to him and secretly helped him to grow his power.
In the past two years, perhaps he was too hasty and placed his own people in various departments in Jingzhou, which caused dissatisfaction among Cai Mao and others.
Kuai Liang, as for Kuai Liang, probably exposed the truth and exposed the fact that he was loyal to himself, so he was killed by them, and then announced that he died suddenly of illness.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao's eyes were bloodshot.
If that's the case.
Then Kuai Liang's death is his own fault!
However, it would be useless to be angry now.
The only way is to get through this difficulty first, pretend to compromise with them, and then find a way to contact the eldest son and ask him to contact Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Huo Du and others to support him in ascending to power, and then retake Jingzhou.
As for himself, he is already like this and cannot escape.
Liu Biao suppressed all kinds of complicated emotions and slowly crawled towards the bed, rolling off the bed to the floor with a dull sound.
Only then did the door open.
A maid saw Liu Biao lying on the ground, moaning constantly, and quickly closed the door again and ran out.
