Chapter 341: The Origin of Shui Yuanzi
The wild dog's recovery ability is really terrible. He was injured so seriously, but after the imperial doctor's bone collection, he quickly jumped and jumped again, and his appetite was not affected at all, even bigger than usual. In fact, every time the wild dog was injured, his appetite increased, and his injuries recovered very quickly. Li Zhang probably needed a lot of energy when his injuries recovered, so he ingested more food.
However, the wild dog's injuries were still too serious. After eating, he went back to the room to rest quickly. Li Zhang felt relaxed at this time. After solving the hidden danger of Shui Yuanzi, the safety of the family was finally guaranteed. The feeling of not being stared at by poisonous snakes was so good. The tense nerves in recent days have completely relaxed.
When the crisis was resolved, Li Zhang also decided to give himself two days off and take a good rest at home. By the way, when Lu Wu came back, he asked him about the situation of Shui Yuanzi. After all, there were too many mysteries in the other party, which was what Li Zhang wanted to know the most.
However, Lu Wu did not go home that night, probably interrogating Shui Yuanzi overnight. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Lu Wu returned home with his tired body. Li Zhang immediately asked him to prepare the dishes and then accompanied him to eat and chat.
"Uncle Wu, how did you ask? What is the origin of that Shui Yuanzi? Why did he get close to the Emperor?" Li Zhang poured Lu Wu a glass of wine and asked.
Lu Wu has not had a rest since he entered the palace yesterday. He was also tired and hungry at this time. He ate a few bites of vegetables and filled his stomach. Then he drank the wine and said: "I have been questioned clearly, but you must not guess his origin?"
"What's the origin?" Li Zhang asked again immediately.
"Hehe, this guy has a very good background. His original surname is Zhu, from Shucheng. He was the son of Zhu Lingyun, the governor of the Nantang Zhennan Army. He was a general for generations and has always been famous for his bravery." Lu Wu immediately told Shu Yuanzi's origin.
"Zhu Lingyun? I seem to have heard of this person?" Li Zhang also felt familiar when he heard Zhu Lingyun's name. He seemed to have heard of this person's deeds somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Zhu Lingyun is not a simple person. When Emperor Taizu ordered General Cao Bin to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty, he encountered a 150,000 army led by Zhu Lingyun in Ankou. In that battle, our Song army was at a disadvantage. Not only were there few people, but the soldiers were not used to water wars. At that time, Zhu Lingyun ordered people to attack our warships with fire, but unexpectedly, the wind direction suddenly changed drastically, and the fire burned into Zhu Lingyun's own army. It can be said that even God helped us. As a result, Zhu Lingyun was so angry that he committed suicide, and his family also disappeared after that battle." Lu Wu immediately introduced Zhu Lingyun's deeds briefly.
When Li Zhang heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had never heard of Zhu Lingyun's deeds. Many people even felt sorry for Zhu Lingyun. If it weren't for the sudden change in the wind that day, it was unknown who would win and who would lose in the battle of Ankou. Sometimes the change of dynasties really had to believe in the destiny.
"So that's it. Zhu Lingyun died at the hands of our Song Dynasty. So Shui Yuanzi avenged his father, so he pretended to be a Taoist priest and sneaked into the palace and presented poisonous gold tableware to the former emperor." After understanding Shui Yuanzi's origin, Li Zhang also guessed what happened next.
However, when Lu Wu heard Li Zhang's words, he smiled and said, "He is not a fake Taoist priest, but a real Taoist priest. In fact, after Zhu Lingyun's death, the Zhu family was also defeated. Shui Yuanzi was only ten years old at the time and was sent to the Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest, and he also learned a lot of real skills. However, he never forgot his father's great revenge, so what happened later."
"Then how did their family's ability to surpass ordinary people come from? Whether he or the wild dog, they have amazing divine power, and they can see things at night. This is not something that ordinary people can have?" Li Zhang asked curiously again at this time. He had long been extremely curious about the ability of wild dogs to surpass ordinary people, especially the people in the wild dog family have this ability, which is obviously inherited.
"I have asked this, but Shui Yuanzi said that this is the secret of their family traditions. Since the time of his great-grandfather, the men in their family have had this ability. Speaking of his great-grandfather Zhu Yanshou, he was once a governor at the end of the Tang Dynasty and was promoted from a civilian all the way. He can be said to be a very amazing person." Lu Wu also frowned at this time.
"Zhu Yanshou? Uncle Wu, have you not checked this person's information?" Li Zhang asked curiously again when he heard this.
"Of course I checked it, but there were constant wars in the late Tang Dynasty, and the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, a lot of information was lost. So although I asked someone to check it for a long time, I only found very little information. Among them, there was a rumor about Zhu Yanshou, saying that their Zhu family had been tomb robbers and stole a treasure from a large tomb, which allowed their Zhu family to make a fortune. There was no valuable information other than that." Lu Wu said at the end, he also showed a helpless expression. After all, the era where Zhu Yanshou lived was more than a hundred years ago, and it was not easy to find these.
"Tomb robber?" Li Zhang was stunned again when he heard Lu Wu's words. He thought that the ability of wild dogs was really suitable for tomb robbing, but this still did not explain the source of their ability. This should be a genetic mutation. Could it be that their ancestors encountered something when they were robbing tombs, which led to gene mutations? Or was this ability deliberately cultivated by their ancestors?
"However, according to that Shui Yuanzi, although their family's strange abilities can be inherited, he found that the abilities of the next generation are different. Some people have stronger abilities, some people are weaker, and overall, the next generation will be worse than the previous generation, and some branches of the Zhu family have even lost this ability long ago. So Shui Yuanzi thought of a way, which is to let his sons kill each other and leave the strongest one. Although this method should be effective, it really has no human nature!" When Lu Wu said the last, his face also showed an angry look. He was very disgusted with this kind of practice that violated human ethics and family affection.
When Li Zhang heard this, he sighed inwardly. This Shui Yuanzi should have experienced a major change in childhood, and then he was wrongly learning Taoism and had no normal feelings at all. In addition, he was determined to take revenge, so his whole personality was distorted, so it was not surprising to do such a thing.
Now Li Zhang asked about other things about Shui Yuanzi, such as the incident of Shui Yuanzi's fraud to die. Of course, this was also a meticulous scene by Shui Yuanzi. As for those crocodiles, he was transported from the south.
It is worth mentioning that Shui Yuanzi is not alone. In fact, when he became an adult, he once gathered his father's subordinates. His father Zhu Lingyun was in charge of the 150,000 Later Tang Shui Army. Although most of them died in battle or surrendered, there were always some people who had resentment towards the Song Dynasty. These people became Shui Yuanzi's team, and later followed him to the ground to help him command the ghost beggar, and then died in the fire of Li Zhang.
"How many sons does he have in total?" Li Zhang finally asked a question he was most interested in and said, "This question was something he had always wanted to figure out. After all, wild dogs are ranked 19th, so maybe there are still wild dogs under them?"
"I know, I asked him this question, but he couldn't even remember it himself. However, according to his opinion, it would probably be at least twenty who survived. A few wild dogs killed and some other killing each other. Now there should be only one wild dog left." Lu Wu was angry when he mentioned this, because he also knew that Shui Yuanzi had a son and had a daughter, and he would have to kill his daughter and mother together after giving birth. If Shui Yuanzi hadn't been worse than death now, he might have cut the other party with one knife.
Li Zhang was speechless when he heard this. Shui Yuanzi was simply a perverted seed planter. He didn't even know the number of his sons. He probably didn't remember how many women were destroyed in his hands. Such a scumbag who was extremely guilty was not an exaggeration to lingchi. However, his situation now seems to be even worse than Lingchi. I guess this is God's retribution!
After two days of rest, Li Zhang entered the palace again. This time he went to see Zhao Zhen first, mainly to return the pistol to him. Zhao Zhen didn't know what Li Zhang was going to do to borrow the gun, but he still lent it to him without even asking. But now he already knew that Li Zhang was going to help the wild dog, and now he was a little scared. After seeing Li Zhang, he also pulled him to ask about the situation that day. It took him a long time to let Li Zhang leave.
After leaving Jingfu Palace, Li Zhang came to Liu E again for a visit. Last time, thanks to Liu E's quick decision and sent an imperial guard to follow him to capture Shui Yuanzi. So Li Zhang also came to thank him and also visited Liu E. After all, after Liu E was old, she liked more and more people to chat with her.
"You already know the result of Shui Yuanzi's interrogation, right?" Liu E saw Li Zhang coming in, and immediately put down the memorial in his hand and laughed. Originally, Shui Yuanzi's affairs were related to the secrets in the palace, and Lu Wu could not tell others, but Li Zhang was the party involved in this matter, so Liu E didn't let Lu Wu hide it from Li Zhang.
"You have already known that Shui Yuanzi is a very evil person. I wonder what the Grandma wants to deal with him?" Li Zhang immediately said. Although Lu Wu had interrogated clearly, how to deal with Shui Yuanzi still depends on Liu E's intention.
"The Ai family also hates Shui Yuanzi very much, but he has become a human being. Living is more painful than death, so the Ai family decided to let him live, and send someone to feed him every day to see how long he can live!" Liu E's face also showed a bit of ruthlessness when she said the last time.
Li Zhang nodded in agreement when he heard this. He had no sympathy for a person like Shui Yuanzi. Opposing him to be a human being is the best punishment for him.
