The Ideal Son-in-Law

Chapter 375: Food and accidents

Did Emperor Taizu watch Tunnel Warfare too much? Or was he obsessed with the scene of digging tunnels in the prison cell in The Count of Monte Cristo? Besides, tunnels these days are used by high-ranking officials as a way out, by wealthy families to hide gold, silver and jewelry, or to be used with explosives during sieges. There is no other use for them.

Why dig so many tunnels under Maliu Mountain when the world is peaceful? How much work is this? How idle must one be to do such a thing

In a flash, Zhang Shou had many thoughts in his mind, and then he noticed what Zhu Tingfang had just said. At least he had reviewed the historical books of the Ming Dynasty. Mingxi was not the reign title of Taizu, but the reign title of Taizong. And during the reign of Taizong, it was too broad. The first part was Taizu's abdication, and the second part was Taizu's disappearance, which had completely different meanings!

Well, even if it was not dug during the reign of Emperor Taizong, but during the reign of Emperor Taizu, it is not necessarily that Emperor Taizu led or sent people to dig it... He was slightly stunned, and then he laughed dumbly and said, "So what?"

Seeing Zhang Shou calmly changing the subject, Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but chuckle, "Not so good. I won't take such far-fetched remarks seriously. I've already chased the monk away, but I sent Lao Xi to go make a copy. As long as it matches what you and Yingying got before, and it's sent to the capital for filing, the matter will be settled."

"It's been many years since then, so let it go. There's no need to pursue it further."

"Brother Zhu is absolutely right." Zhang Shou nodded in agreement without even thinking. "It's been almost a hundred years, and there are too many rumors. If you look into it, it's just a few more different legends about Emperor Taizu. Taizu drove out the Tartars and restored China. His achievements are rare in ancient and modern times. It's not surprising that there are so many far-fetched rumors."

Zhu Tingfang knew from a young age that Zhu Ying had always worshipped the founding emperor Taizu. What he feared most was that she would pass this tendency on to Zhang Shou. In addition, Zhang Shou had helped Weinan Earl Zhang Kang to crack Taizu's secret box, so he was even more worried that someone would be trapped.

You know, even after so many years, the past of Emperor Taizu is still a deep pit. Even though only the side branches are left of the heroes of that time, and many of them have even lost their titles due to continuous turmoil, God knows how many of their descendants are still scattered among the people.

Seeing Zhang Shou's firm attitude, he felt a little relieved. He showed rare concern for Zhang Shou's daily life and reminded him to make up for the dinner. Then he turned and left. After he left, Zhang Shou didn't know whether he should thank his brother-in-law for his concern or smile bitterly. After standing for a while, he suddenly coughed.

"Have you heard enough? I really spoiled you. Do you think people don't know you're hiding nearby?"

He was faking it out of habit, to see if he could call out Ah Liu who was hiding somewhere watching the fun. But to his surprise, in the past when he called out like this, Ah Liu would definitely show up, but today after he said this, there was total silence all around, not even a ghost appeared.

Realizing that he had guessed wrong, he rubbed his temples in embarrassment, went back to his room to tidy up his clothes, shoes and socks, and then left the room, intending to ask someone to bring him some midnight snacks. But before he could leave the hospital, he ran into Ah Liu, who was walking towards him with a lunch box in his hand.
