Chapter 117: A Wonderful Flower Among the Aristocrats
"Young master, I've inquired about the situation of the family next to me, but this family is not very easy to mess with, so let's not go." The old knife went out to investigate and came back, but he said with a look of embarrassment on his face, he had already inquired about the details of the family next to him who was fighting in the morning, but the more he inquired, the more worried he became, not that he was timid, but that the family next to him was too special.
"What's the bottom of this family?" Li Zhang asked while tidying up his clothes, he planned to wait to visit the family, let them know that such a noisy morning had affected him, if the other party could accept his opinion, it would be best, if not, it would not be too late for him to think of other ways, this is called salute before soldiering.
"This ......" I saw that the old knife hesitated for a moment, and then finally spoke, "This family's surname is Huyan, although it is not prominent in Jiangmen, but it is very famous, the former owner of our mansion, that is, Wang Qinruo, also had to move out because he couldn't stand this family!" ”
"Huyan? It can't be Huyanzan, right? Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Lao Dao's words, and then said with an incredible expression.
Yang family general Li Zhang did not see much when he was a child, and he was naturally very familiar with the famous iron whip king Huyanzan, of course, he only knew when he grew up that the historical Huyanzan was not an iron whip king, but just a middle-level general, and even in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there was no king with a different surname, and the posthumous gift was not counted, until the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to win people's hearts, a few kings with different surnames were sealed.
"It turns out that the young master knows, then it will be easy to do, the reputation of the Huyan family is not very good, even Wang Qinruo had to avoid a few points at the beginning, let's not provoke them!" When Lao Dao heard Li Zhang call out Huyanzan's name, he thought that Li Zhang had heard of the fame of the Huyan family, and he was also relieved at the moment.
"Wait a minute, the Huyan family is also the queen of the gate, why is the reputation bad?" Li Zhang asked a little puzzled at this time, his understanding of Hu Yanzan mainly comes from romance, as for Hu Yanzan in real history, he only knows that the other party's official position is not high, and his personality is also a little weird, but he doesn't know anything else.
"Young Master doesn't know?" Lao Dao was immediately surprised when he saw Li Zhang's appearance, it seems that as a native of Tokyo, it would be a very strange thing not to know the name of the Huyan family.
"I don't know! Is the old general Huyanzan still alive? Li Zhang asked again, although he felt that Huyanzan could not live so long, but there was still hope in his heart, after all, he grew up listening to Huyanzan's story since he was a child, and if he was lucky enough to meet the prototype character of the story, of course he was very happy.
"The old general Huyan has passed away a long time ago, and now Huyan's family is in charge of his four sons, that is, the four who stood next to the school field this morning and beat drums and cheers." The old knife sighed at this time and said, speaking of which, he had a relationship with Hu Yanzan back then, of course, he was just a small soldier at the time, and everyone was already inspecting, so even if the other party was alive, I am afraid he would not remember such a small person.
"I heard that the old general Huyanzan was brave and brave, and he was the first to climb the head of Taiyuan City, but unfortunately he couldn't see it!" Although Li Zhang had been mentally prepared, when he heard that Hu Yanzan had passed away, he still had some regrets.
"Young master, in fact, since the time of the old general Huyan, the reputation of the Huyan family has not been very good, and now that the old general Huyan is gone, the Huyan family is acting very grotesquely, and ordinary people really can't afford to provoke it!" The old knife spoke again at this time, and he also saw at this time that Li Zhang really hadn't heard of the reputation of the Huyan family.
"Oh? What is the situation of this Huyan family, and why can't it be provoked? Li Zhang also asked with a curious expression again when he heard this.
"This is a long story, Huyan's family was originally a Huns, but they have long moved to the Central Plains to live, although the old general Huyanzan is brave, but the temper is a little strange, after the failure of Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, no one dares to mention the Northern Expedition in the Chinese, but the old general Huyan wrote to request another Northern Expedition, and in order to show his determination, he actually tattooed the words 'Kill the thief with a naked heart' all over his body, and he didn't even let go of the ...... on his lips."
With the narration of the old knife, Li Zhang finally knew what the real Huyanzan looked like, speaking of which Huyanzan was originally a cavalry background, because of the courage of the battle, he was appointed by Zhao Kuangyin as the leader of the eastern class, and later he was promoted to the Xiaoxiong military envoy, when Wang Quanbin crusaded against Houshu, Huyanzan served as the vanguard, and he must be the first soldier in every battle, and he was seriously injured in many places and did not retreat, and later followed Zhao Guangyi to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, the first to climb the head of Taiyuan City, and was knocked down four times and climbed the city head four times, which can be described as extremely brave.
It is precisely by virtue of these military exploits that Hu Yanzan has also risen all the way, and has been a high-ranking official such as assassin history and regimental training envoy. Hu Yanzan is indeed a good hand at charging into battle, but it is too difficult for him to be an official, and even every time he serves as a magistrate, he makes a mess of government affairs, and finally he is transferred back to Tokyo, and not long after Zhao Heng ascends the throne, Hu Yanzan died.
Although Hu Yanzan died, but the legend about him has been circulating in the city of Tokyo, the most striking is Hu Yanzan's tattoo on his body, from the five generations, tattoos are popular among military generals, such as the creation of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, that is, Zhou Shizu Chai Rong's uncle, because of the tattoo of a harrier on the body, so people are called Guo Harrier, also called Guo Queer.
However, no matter how the generals tattooed, no one was as exaggerated as Huyanzan, his whole body was tattooed with the words "Killing Thieves with Naked Hearts", even his lips were not spared, and from a distance it looked like a big flower face, and he not only tattooed himself, even his wives and children, but also tattooed words on their faces, but Mrs. Huyan desperately disobeyed, and finally made Huyanzan back down, and everyone in the Huyan family tattooed the words "Killing Thieves with Naked Hearts" on their arms, and women were no exception.
In contrast, it was Huyanzan's children and grandchildren who were even more unlucky, because his children and grandchildren, like him, had to tattoo words on their faces, tattooing the words "Killing thieves with a red heart" on their foreheads, and tattooing the words "Go out and forget your home for the country, and forget your death in battle" These two lines are tattooed on the back of your ears, so as long as you see people with these words tattooed on their faces on the street, you don't need to ask to know that they must be from Huyan's family.
What's more worth mentioning is that Huyanzan may still be the most famous wolf father in history, in order to exercise his son's body, he actually washed his son's body with ice water in the winter, and it is said that he once threw his son who had just turned 100 days from the city wall, in order to test his son's luck, but his son was really fatal, and he was not killed by the fall.
However, although Hu Yanzan is very ruthless to his son, it is not that he has no feelings for his son, in fact, he loves his son very much, because once his son was seriously ill, but he didn't know where he heard of a home remedy, saying that eating his father's meat can cure the disease, so he actually cut off his own meat and cooked soup for his son to drink, although this behavior is a bit extreme, but it is enough to show his feelings for his son.
From the above behaviors, it can be seen that Huyanzan is not only ruthless to his sons, but also to himself, and of course he is even more ruthless to the enemy, so it is not surprising that this kind of ruthless person with an extreme personality does anything, and of course, it is conceivable what the children and grandchildren who have been educated by Huyanzan are.
In fact, although the Huyan family is not the most prominent general, it is definitely one of the most famous generals in Tokyo, but their family's reputation is not a good reputation, but a reputation for scoundrels.
It is said that the Huyan family is also considered a nobleman, but there is no aristocratic demeanor in the slightest, there was a time when the Wang family, who was also a general, provoked the Huyan family, this Wang family is the descendant of Wang Quanbin, when he attacked Houshu, Huyanzan was also Wang Quanbin's subordinate, and the Wang family's merit is higher, and the reputation is greater, it is said that the Huyan family is much worse than the Wang family.
But the Huyan family didn't care about these, not only the Wang family who provoked them stripped naked and threw them on the street, but also personally knocked on the door, the result was that the Wang family was not vegetarian, the two sides fought on the street, and finally Zhenzong came forward to stop it, but then the gate of the Wang family was splashed with dung, it is said that someone saw all the men of the Huyan family that night, and the soldiers who patrolled the night did not dare to care, and the Wang family jumped up angrily and scolded, but there was nothing to do.
There is more than one thing similar to the above, it can be said that as long as they dare to provoke the people of their Huyan family, they will retaliate at all costs, pouring dung and throwing lime, including secretly setting fire to other people's yards, anyway, as long as you provoke them, it is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and you will never give up if you don't retaliate back.
When encountering such a scoundrel family, it is naturally avoided by everyone, and because of the family style of the Huyan family as a woman, the nobles are not willing to marry their daughters to suffer crimes, so the Huyan family rarely marries with other nobles, and the final result is that the Huyan family has become a wonderful flower among the nobles, no one dares to provoke, no one wants to provoke, and even usually has no contact.
Of course, although the Huyan family is a scoundrel, it is only for the people who provoke them, and it is rare to hear that they oppress the people, and the people who clash with them are generally nobles, so although the Huyan family has a bad reputation among the nobles, the evaluation among the people is not bad, especially as a nobleman, but it often creates some dumbfounded things, and adds some rumors and jokes to many people, so the fame of the Huyan family has always been very loud, and it is estimated that this is one of the reasons why the Huyan family was written into it later.
"Young master, the situation of the Huyan family is like this, we are weak, don't provoke this kind of family!" After Lao Dao finished telling the rumors of the Huyan family, he finally persuaded Li Zhang again.
