Lin Wanniang nodded and said in a deep voice with anger: "The Lou family's group plans to hold you hostage when they visit you."

Lin Zhihuang raised his eyebrows: "Take me hostage?"

Hualing, who had been standing beside Lin Zhihuang to guard him, frowned and asked Lin Wanniang: "What are you holding hostage with? Anyone who comes to see the lord will be searched by the Qingyan Army first. Any weapons that may cause harm to the lord will be used."

They will be confiscated and they will never be allowed to bring them in with them."

Lin Wanniang continued to report in a deep voice: "The weapons used to hold the master hostage will not be found before the body search, because at that time, the Lou family did not carry any weapons."

"Oh?" Lin Zhihuang became interested when he heard this.

Lin Wanniang refined the content of the Lou family's conversation and reported: "The Lou family is going to use a crossbow-type weapon to hold you hostage."

"That crossbow is very small. When my subordinates heard the Lou family talk about it, they said that the crossbow was no bigger than a palm, and the launcher installed on the crossbow was just an iron ball the size of a thumb. This crossbow can hold three iron balls at a time.

Three shots can penetrate a finger-thick wooden board within five feet." M.

Lin Zhihuang touched his chin. This kind of crossbow is indeed a sharp weapon if it can kill people at close range as long as it is accurate.

It is similar to the "wrist buckle" of sleeve arrows given to him by Wang Lu.

When Hua Ling heard this, her eyebrows almost knitted together: "No matter how small this crossbow is, it is still considered a weapon. The Qingyan Army will search it out and confiscate it. They will never be allowed to carry such a thing inside.

Come and pay homage to the Lord."

Lin Wanniang shook her head and continued: "That man Lou Hang is very fast in assembling mechanisms and equipment, and he can complete the assembly of equipment by memory without even looking at it. The twenty or so people in the Lou family, before they came to pay homage to the lord, each of them knew how to assemble the equipment.

Carry some parts of this crossbow with you, and after the Qingyan Army conducts a search, they will secretly assemble the broken parts the size of your thumb and give them to Lou Hang when they visit you."

"Lou Hang will use those broken parts in his sleeves to blindly assemble the piece that can be used to hold your crossbow."

When Lin Zhihuang heard this, not only was he not angry, but he suddenly burst into laughter and sighed: "These Lou family members are really brave, resourceful and talented."

After Lin Zhihuang laughed, Mansheng asked Lin Waanniang: "Is Lou Hang their leader?"

Lin Wanniang nodded: "It should be. When they were talking, even those who were older than Lou Hang were very respectful to Lou Hang."

Lin Zhihuang nodded. This also explains why when Lou Hang was arrested, there were more than twenty Lou family members. Even if he was arrested again, there would still be people who would persevere in danger and come to the county government to rescue him.

Hua Ling's face was full of anger at this time. If Lin Wanniang hadn't warned her in advance today, the Qingyan Army under her control might have been in danger of protecting the Lord. If the Lou family had carried some small thumb-sized weapons with them,

Parts, the Qingyan Army really doesn't take these things seriously.

Hua Ling clenched the handle of the spear in her hand, as if she had poked several holes in the heart of the audacious Lou family, and gritted her teeth and asked Lin Waanniang: "Why didn't these Lou family members think of using this method to kidnap the magistrate of Wan County to escape from trouble?

"

Lin Wanniang also had an angry look on her face: "I heard the Lou family talking, and it seems that they have been preparing these parts, just to use them on the Wan County Magistrate to hold him hostage and escape from trouble."

"But except for the first time when Corporal Li Xian came to visit Lou Hang, the magistrate of Wan County saw them in person. The rest of the time, he sent his subordinates to manage their construction of institutions. After that, the magistrate of Wan County

I have never seen anyone from the Lou family in person, so the Lou family has never found an opportunity to take action."

"You invited the Lou family to come to see you this time. The Lou family also feels that this is the only chance to see you in person, so... I want to take the initiative this time." Lin Wanniang said this, she was already

Anger leaked.

Lin Zhihuang laughed and joked: "These craftsmen who are good at mechanism skills are quite good at summing up their failed experiences."

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Seeing Lin Zhihuang's disinterested attitude, Hua Ling and Lin Wanniang couldn't help but utter resentful reminders.

Lin Zhihuang stopped laughing sarcastically: "It's okay, I'm just evaluating this matter from an objective perspective. I won't be careless about matters related to my own safety."

Hua Ling then stopped and asked: "This Lou family...how does the master plan to deal with it?"

Lin Wanniang said angrily: "If you ask me, these people really don't know what is good and what is good. Beating them up and throwing them out of the house is an advantage for them."

Lin Zhihuang waved to Lin Wanniang and motioned for her to come over.

When Lin Wanniang saw Lin Zhihuang beckoning her to come forward, her eyes suddenly lit up, she stepped forward in a hurry, and then... she got a chestnut in the head.

"Ah!" Lin Wanniang covered her forehead, screamed out in pain, pouted slightly and looked at Lin Zhihuang.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhihuang asked.

Lin Wanniang groaned: "If you do things without considering the causes and consequences, and only deal with things based on your heart, you will make mistakes."

"How many times have I told you about this problem of yours and you still won't change it..."

"Change! You must not remove your subordinates from their posts!"

Lin Wanniang immediately admitted her mistake: "This subordinate has changed his mind. He only acted like this when he encountered the Lord's matter. This subordinate is just talking, and he will never act like this."

Lin Wanniang is indeed much calmer in her work now, but whenever she encounters something that involves her, she will always be a little emotional, which is not a good thing.

After Lin Zhihuang discovered Lin Waanniang's problem, he has been working hard to help her correct it.

If Lin Wanniang did not change this point, Lin Zhihuang would not dare to send her out alone to do things, let alone let her take over the place like a shadow.

Lin Zhihuang narrowed his eyes, preparing to temper Lin Wanniang and suppress her temperament in this battle to defeat Xue.

Hua Ling opened her mouth at the right moment to help Lin Wanniang and said, "My lord, are you going to summon the Lou family later? Since we know the tricks the Lou family are going to play, I will order the Qingyan Army to search them later and take them."

All hard objects, large and small, have been confiscated, so that everything will be safe."

Lin Zhihuang withdrew his mind from Lin Wanniang's question, thought for a moment and then said: "No, wait a moment..."

An hour later, the Lou family and the others were brought to the county government study room by Yaogu.

At the door of the study, the Qingyan Army on duty outside carefully searched the bodies of more than 20 people from the Lou family, and then let them into the study.

"The common people pay homage to the Lord!" After the Lou family entered the study, they all bowed to Lin Zhihuang who was sitting behind the desk.

Lin Zhihuang said quietly: "Get up."

The Lou family stood up, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Lin Zhihuang.

"Who is Lou Hang?"

"Caomin Lou Hang." Lou Hang took a step forward and answered with his head lowered.
