Li Huan knew that if he and Tang Bohu went forward to identify Zhu Zhishan, the truth would be exposed!
In a moment of desperation, Li Huan suddenly flicked his wrist, using the "Finger Flicking Divine Skill" to strike Zhu Zhishan's pressure point.
This acupoint, located at the brow of Zhu Zhishan's head, is called "Zanzhu acupoint." If it is struck by internal force, it will affect eyesight.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhishan groaned and almost fainted, then felt his vision blur.
Li Huan led Tang Bohu and walked up to Zhu Zhishan.
Zhu Zhishan couldn't see clearly and blinked hard: "Who...who are you two?"
Seeing Zhu Zhishan's appearance, Tang Bohu breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to put on his acting skills, scolding him in a stern voice!
"Tang Bohu! You villain! I am your mortal enemy, Hua An!"
"You killed my entire family! I hate you to the core and swear I will tear you to pieces!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Zhishan called out, "Tang Bohu!"
Li Huan hurriedly said, "That's right, you are Tang Bohu! Even if you turn to ashes, I will still recognize you! You ate thirty of my boxed lunches and owe me three paintings and calligraphies, which you still haven't paid me back to this day!"
“You…you are Li Huan!” Zhu Zhishan recognized Li Huan’s voice.
Li Huan said, "Madam, this person is indeed Tang Bohu without a doubt!"
Madam Hua ordered, "Martial Arts Champion! Drag Tang Bohu out, chop him into mincemeat, and feed him to the dogs!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhishan trembled with fear: "I'm innocent! I'm not Tang Bohu!"
Li Huan hurriedly said, "Wait! Madam, spare Tang Bohu's life for now!"
Madam Hua asked, "Why spare him?"
Li Huan said, "Tang Bohu still owes me three paintings and calligraphic works. After he finishes them, I'll have Hua An personally execute Tang Bohu by slow slicing to avenge his family!"
Tang Bohu hurriedly said, "How can three paintings and calligraphies be enough? Tang Bohu has committed grave sins. He should paint thirty paintings and calligraphies, no, he should paint three hundred paintings and calligraphies, sell them to raise money to make up for my family's losses, and then execute Tang Bohu!"
Madam Hua said, "Three hundred paintings and calligraphies would take a long time to complete. Would I have to support Tang Bohu?"
Li Huan said, "Lock Tang Bohu in the woodshed in the backyard, put shackles on his feet to prevent him from escaping, and order him to create ten paintings and calligraphies every day. He can complete three hundred paintings in a month! If you kill Tang Bohu directly, it will be too easy for him. I hope you will think it over!"
After a moment's thought, Madam Hua said, "Alright, lock Tang Bohu in the woodshed first. Starting tomorrow, he must paint at least three paintings every day! Once he has finished three hundred paintings, Hua An will personally cut off Tang Bohu's flesh piece by piece!"
Madam Hua gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage.
Li Huan looked at Qiu Xiang.
At this moment, Qiu Xiang stared intently at Zhu Zhishan, believing him to be Tang Bohu.
Seeing that Madam Hua had ordered Tang Bohu to be imprisoned for the time being, Qiu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Zhishan was dumbfounded.
He's not Tang Bohu, how could he create three paintings and calligraphies every day?
Madam Hua then instructed: "Shiliu, you are in charge of looking after Tang Bohu. Deliver his meals to him every day, supervise his painting, and do whatever you want with him!"
Sister Pomegranate was overjoyed: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam!"
The martial arts champion, feeling jealous, grabbed Zhu Zhishan by the collar and said fiercely, "Behave yourself! Let's go!"
Zhu Zhishan cried out, "Spare me! Don't make me paint! Don't hand me over to this woman!"
...
In the afternoon.
Li Huan and Tang Bohu arrived at the backyard.
Tang Bohu laughed and said, "Fortunately, Brother Li persuaded Madam Hua, otherwise Zhu Zhishan would have been chopped into mincemeat long ago and become a wronged ghost!"
Li Huan said, "You searched high and low without finding him, but he came to you effortlessly. You looked everywhere for Zhu Zhishan but couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, he was captured by the martial arts champion and brought to the Hua Mansion!"
Tang Bohu said, "It's a pity that Zhu Zhishan has become a scapegoat. He can't stay in the Hua family as a servant, and we can't expect him to handle Sister Pomegranate!"
Li Huan said, "You're wrong. Zhu Zhishan is now regarded by the people of Huafu as the romantic and talented Tang Bohu. Entrusting him to Sister Shiliu's care is exactly what Sister Shiliu wants!"
"It's obvious without even guessing that Sister Pomegranate's attention has shifted to Zhu Zhishan, and she's taken him! From now on, Sister Pomegranate will no longer bother me, hahaha..."
Tang Bohu nodded: "That makes sense, Sister Pomegranate is really happy now... Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Li Huan asked.
Tang Bohu said, "Everyone in the Hua family thinks that Zhu Zhishan is me, so wouldn't Qiu Xiang also believe it to be true?"
Li Huan said, "Of course I believe it to be true!"
As they spoke, the two walked to the door of the woodshed.
Inside the room, an indescribable noise arose.
Li Huan quickly gestured, and he and Tang Bohu hid in the flower bushes nearby.
With a creak, the door to the woodshed opened.
Sister Pomegranate walked out disheveled, her hair messy, her face flushed, and her eyes filled with affection.
"Hahaha... That felt so good, so good, hahaha..."
She laughed triumphantly and left, completely satisfied.
Li Huan and Tang Bohu quickly slipped into the room.
Zhu Zhishan was lying in a pile of straw, shirtless, picking his teeth with straw, looking quite lazy.
"Brother Zhu!" Tang Bohu called out in a low voice.
Zhu Zhishan looked up and said happily, "Brother Tang! You've finally arrived!"
Li Huan joked, "We're late. You've already been ruined by Sister Pomegranate."
Zhu Zhishan said, "Brother Li, why do you say that? Sister Shiliu is warm and outgoing, and she has won my heart!"
"Holy crap!" Tang Bohu exclaimed in surprise, "You really have some unusual tastes!"
Li Huan deliberately said, "Brother Tang and I will help you escape from the Hua Mansion!"
Zhu Zhishan hurriedly said, "Please don't save me! It's safe here, there's food and lodging, and I have a lonely, resentful woman to keep me company. I can't bear to leave!"
Tang Bohu's eyes widened: "Brother Zhu, have you been driven mad by Sister Pomegranate?"
Zhu Zhishan laughed and said, "I'm not crazy! To be honest, I've lost a lot of money again and am heavily in debt. I'm staying here to lay low for a while!"
"Damn it!" Tang Bohu cursed, "I give up!"
Li Huan reminded him, "Zhu Zhishan, although this place can be a refuge from creditors, don't forget that you must create three calligraphy and paintings every day and deliver them to Madam Hua!"
Zhu Zhishan said with a grin, "Fortunately, Brother Tang has also infiltrated the Hua family. Brother Tang can take over the task of creating three calligraphy and painting works every day!"
Li Huan laughed and scolded, "You wish! You think you can lie in the woodshed eating and drinking, exchange skills with Sister Pomegranate, and then leave some calligraphy and paintings to sell for silver after you leave?"
Zhu Zhishan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Tang, could you paint a few more paintings and calligraphies for me to pay off my gambling debts..."
Before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded outside the room!
Tang Bohu said, "Quick, hide! Sister Pomegranate is back!"
Li Huan and Tang Bohu quickly hid behind the pile of firewood.
To everyone's surprise, the woman who entered the woodshed was none other than Qiu Xiang!
Tang Bohu was shocked, but Li Huan knew everything.
"What does Qiu Xiang want to do?" Tang Bohu asked quietly.
Li Huan laughed and said, "It's obvious, Qiu Xiang has come to see her idol!"
