"Really? Then do you dare to send someone to bring your son here?" Lu Zheng asked.
His question was baffling again. Could this matter be related to Zhang Liu's son?
Ah no, to be precise, what does it have to do with whether Zhang Liushi's son comes or not, whether Zhang Liushi knows Lord Wang or not?
Zhang Liu looked at Lu Zheng as if she had seen a ghost.
She discovered that her past was no secret to General Lu, who seemed to know everything about her and her old stories.
“This has nothing to do with my son Hu Zi. I confess. I gave Ping’er the poison yesterday. I killed the fifteen members of the Wang family.” Zhang Liu’s shoulders slumped as she looked down at the ground.
Her move left everyone present completely baffled.
Moreover, everyone is very curious. Anyone who isn't stupid can tell that this Zhang Liushi is related to Lord Wang, and that the one who provoked the murderer is not Hao Ge'er's mother as the surface evidence suggests, but Lord Wang.
"Why? Why did you kill them? What grudge did you have against them? Didn't you admit that my father saved you many years ago? Why did you kill them?" Fatty Wang, his eyes red, stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Liu's shoulders with both hands, and shook her while shouting.
Zhang Liu looked at the face in front of her, somewhat dazed.
No one else in the room spoke.
"Tell me! Why did you kill them?" Fatty Wang roared.
“Because they deserve to die. Your father deserves to die, your mother deserves to die, your grandmother deserves to die, your wife deserves to die, your son deserves to die! And you deserve to die even more!” Zhang Liu said, word by word.
"Why should I? Just because you say someone deserves to die doesn't mean they deserve to die! What gives you the right to decide someone's life or death! I'm going to kill you!" Fatty Wang said, reaching for the dagger tucked into his leg.
He was already used to weight training at the Gu family home. This time when he went out, he followed the example of Gu Xin and the others and equipped his legs with handy weapons.
However, Lu Zheng quickly pulled Wang Pangzi up.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Fatty Wang struggled and roared, "Brother Lu, she killed my whole family! Don't stop me, I want revenge!"
"Calm down," Lu Zheng roared in a low voice.
"I can't calm down, I'm going to kill her!" Fatty Wang was completely out of control, struggling desperately. Unable to break free from Lu Zheng, he aimed at Zhang Liu and threw the dagger at her.
Lu Zheng realized his intention, pulled him aside, and the dagger went astray.
“Wang Shouchang, calm down. How could a woman like her kill so many people silently in a place patrolled by martial monks? Not everyone inhaled the poisoned incense. Don’t you want to find the accomplices? Don’t you want to know why?” Lu Zheng said in a deep voice.
Fatty Wang paused for a moment, then stopped struggling.
"There were no accomplices. I killed them all myself. Young Master Wang, is that it? Do you want to know why I killed your father? Because he betrayed me, leaving me unable to return home and suffering endless torment. Why did I kill your grandmother? Because she stopped your father from being with me, causing my mother's death. Why did I kill your wife and children? Because they were all born of the same father. I, the victim's son, am weak and unable to find a wife, while you can marry a capable wife and have a healthy son. How unjust is Heaven! They all deserve to die!" Zhang Liu said bitterly.
