Just like that, Lin Han was in Hua Fu, and Tang Bohu was in his own home. Their lives were quite good.
However, Zhu Zhishan was in a tragedy. A while ago, Lin Han and Tang Bohu disappeared. Zhu Zhishan couldn't help but become addicted to gambling. He went to the casino to gamble again and owed a large amount of debt. Helpless, Zhu Zhishan could only start his old business again. The day before Tang Bohu returned, he secretly stole his paintings and sold them.
At the same time, Tang Bohu had already shut himself in because of Scholar Wu leading his men to investigate the whereabouts of 9527. Naturally, Scholar Wu, who was a good-for-nothing, could not be found.
However, at this moment, Scholar Wu happened to be on the streets of Suzhou. When he saw someone selling Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings and claiming to be Tang Bohu, Scholar Wu was instantly delighted.
Madam Hua hated Tang Bohu to the bone, and her hatred was even greater than 9527. If she couldn't catch 9527, Scholar Wu would definitely be punished. However, she could use this fake Tang Bohu to atone for her sins.
Thus, poor Zhu Zhishan was captured and brought to the Capital.
In the main hall of the palace, Madam Hua, Scholar Wu, and the servants were all gathered together. Zhu Zhishan was pressed down by Scholar Wu with a bitter look on his face.
"Madam, I saw this person at the Suzhou market claiming to be Tang Bohu. He even went around selling calligraphy and paintings!"”
Madam Hua took the painting and said angrily,""It really is Tang Bohu's handiwork!"
Zhu Zhishan: " I'm innocent! I told you I'm not Tang Bohu!"”
"If you're not Tang Bohu, then why do you have so many of his paintings?"”
"Ah..." I stole it when Tang Bohu was not at home!”
"You keep saying that you're not Tang Bohu, then who are you?"”
Zhu Zhishan replied,[I am Zhu Zhishan, one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan. I am the real deal!]”
"You refuse to admit it, right?" Alright, Chunhyang, bring Mr. Lin out.”
Lin Han had lived in the palace for a long time. When he chatted with Madam Hua, he naturally talked about the Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan. Lin Han also knew that Madam Hua hated Tang Bohu, so he only said that he knew Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Zhou Wenbin, but their relationship was average.
Soon, Lin Han followed Chun Xiang to the main hall.
When Zhu Zhishan saw Lin Han, he said happily,"
"Brother Lin, save me!"
Madam Hua asked,"
"Mister Lin, take a look, is this person Tang Bohu?”
Lin Han shook his head and said,"
"Madam, this person is not Tang Bohu, but Zhu Zhishan. He is a gambler and often loses money. Because he has a good relationship with Tang Bohu, he often sells paintings for Tang Bohu and profits from it to pay off his gambling debts.”
"However, I hope that on account of him knowing me, Madam can give me face and be lenient!”
Hearing this, Madam Hua said,"
"Good! Then I will give Mr. Lin face. Although you are not Tang Bohu, you helped Tang Bohu sell his paintings. You can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment. Come, beat him up and throw him out!”
Hearing that he was going to be beaten up, Zhu Zhishan quickly pleaded with Lin Han,"
"Brother Lin, save me!"
"Madam, wait! Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu had a good relationship, so he should still be useful if he stayed in the residence. Why not lock him up for a few days?”
Hearing Zhu Zhishan's plea, Lin Han had no choice but to help.
"Good! Then lock him up in the woodshed and watch him closely. Shiliu, do as you please!”
After hearing Lin Han's suggestion, Mrs. Hua only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
When Shiliu heard these words, she was so excited that her mouth was wide open. She looked like she was infatuated and extremely excited.
"Thank you for your reward, Madam!"
Zhu Zhishan was shocked when he saw Shiliu's expression.""Hey, what do you want?"
Shiliu drooled and instructed the servants,""Bring him over!"
Zhu Zhishan couldn't break free and said in panic,"
"Hey, don't do anything rash. I'm still a virgin!”
After dealing with Zhu Zhishan's matter, everyone dispersed.
Lin Han, who had just left, came over and calculated the time. Zhu Zhishan and Shiliu should be done playing, so he went to the woodshed.
Just as Lin Han arrived at the woodshed, Shiliu was walking out. Lin Han hurriedly hid at the side and saw Shiliu's disheveled clothes. She looked like she was having a good time.
"F * ck, this is obviously crazier than what I see in the movies. This adulterous couple is having too much fun!
Watching Shiliu leave, Lin Han entered the woodshed and saw Zhu Zhishan's expression that was as lewd as Shiliu's.
When Zhu Zhishan saw Lin Han, he cupped his hands and said,"
"Thank you for saving me, Brother Lin!"
Looking at Zhu Zhishan's expression, Lin Han smiled and said,"
"Brother Zhu, looking at you, you seem to be too happy to think about home. I originally wanted to save you, but it seems that there's no need.”
Zhu Zhishan praised," You really know me, Brother Lin. I eat well here, I live well, and I just had sex with a hungry and resentful woman. It's really comfortable." Brother Lin, please don't save me, I have a lot of debts outside, this is the best place for me to hide.”
"Since Brother Zhu is living so freely, I can rest assured! I won't disturb Brother Zhu anymore! Farewell! If there is a need, Brother Zhu can ask Shiliu to inform me!”
"Definitely! Definitely! If Brother Lin needs my help, I will do my best!”
"Sure! That's easy! Brother Zhu, I'll take my leave first!
After saying that, Lin Han turned around and left the woodshed. Since Lin Han recognized that this person was Zhu Zhishan, Qiuxiang did not come looking for him.
After a while, Shiliu, who had changed into a strange set of clothes, returned to the woodshed and started having sex with Zhu Zhishan.
A few days later, as the date stated in Prince Ning's letter was getting closer and closer, the Martial Scholar sent people to monitor outside the palace day and night. This day was the agreed date.
At noon, the Martial Scholar suddenly came to report that Prince Ning had already brought a large group of people over.
Hearing the report from the Martial Scholar, Madam Hua said,"
"Old Master, this Ning Wang has always been at odds with Old Master's political views. In the court, they are already like fire and water. Today, he brought so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid he has other plans.”
"Yes!"
Grand Preceptor Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.
Just as Grand Preceptor Hua and Madam Hua were talking, they heard a servant shout,"
"Ning Wang has arrived!"
Everyone in the palace looked over and saw Prince Ning, the Deadly Scholar, leading the way with a group of followers.
"Hahahaha, Grand Preceptor Hua, how are you?”
Prince Ning treated the Grand Preceptor Residence as if it was nothing. His actions were bold as he cupped his hands and smiled.
On the other hand, Grand Preceptor Hua's expression was somewhat unnatural as he smiled helplessly and returned the greeting."
"Your Highness has specially come to my humble abode, I am truly overwhelmed by your favor!”
"Grand Preceptor is too serious. This Prince has always heard that Grand Preceptor has a preference for paintings. It was not easy for me to find a few authentic paintings of Tang Bohu.”
Prince Ning patted Grand Preceptor Hua's shoulder.
"Your Highness, this isn't very good!"
He saw Grand Preceptor Hua open his mouth to refuse.
However, when Prince Ning heard this, he quickly said angrily,
What, Grand Preceptor Hua doesn't even give this little bit of face? Are you forcing this king to go crazy?!
Before Grand Preceptor Hua could say anything, Prince Ning had already instructed,"
"Grand Master, bring the painting up!"
"Yes, sir!"
