In fact, the progress of things was even worse than Tang Bohu expected. King Ning returned from an inspection in the morning, and after lunch, he asked Zhu Housan to explain: "You should talk to Tang Yin now, do the courtesy before the soldiers, see what kind of attitude he has, if you agree to write a letter for the king, immediately bring it to see me, set up a banquet in the evening, the king will teach him what to write, but from now on he will not be allowed to leave the palace for half a step." If he hesitates a little, don't do his work, this man can't stay, immediately tie him up and lock him up in that room, you come back and tell me, take a knife and axe hand, cut it immediately, put it into a sack at night and drag it out and bury it. ”
Zhu Housan obeyed the order and took an entourage straight to Tang Bohu's hospital. Tang Bohu had seen Zhu Housan coming with a person from the crack in the door, and guess what? Tang Bohu immediately "went crazy" in the house. I saw him holding the painted painting in his hand and saying, "Haha, hee-hee!" Ninth Lady, my daughter-in-law, why did you come here now? Want to kill me! Come on, come on, come on? I'll help you take off your clothes, let's go to sleep, come, come..." Outside the door Zhu Housan and the family Ding listened, feeling strange? Did Tang Bohu's daughter-in-law really come? Didn't you say dead? Jia Ding kicked the door open and broke in to see it and was surprised! It turned out that Tang Bohu was stripped naked to sleep with the person on the painting, and the crotch of his leg was still straight, wasn't this crazy?
When Tang Bohu saw someone break in, he scolded, "You, don't you have long eyes?" My daughter-in-law is coming, I am going to sleep and sleep with her, you dare to break in and get out! He said, holding the painting in one hand and pushing the guy with the other. At the same time, he casually threw the painting behind the door, and after a moment of stunnedness, he cried loudly and said, "What about my daughter-in-law?" What about my nine ladies? Must have been scared away by you dog slave! He said that he rushed out of the house naked to find his daughter-in-law. Seeing this situation, Zhu Housan took two steps back outside the door, who knows, Tang Bohu suddenly hugged Zhu Housan and said: "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, there is your man I am, go, go back to the house and sleep!" Zhu Housan was overwhelmed by the hug and hurriedly pushed Tang Bohu away, and Tang Bohu said at this time: "Oh! You, you are not my daughter-in-law! Then, Tang Bohu shouted at the courtyard door again: "Ninth Lady, my daughter-in-law, you don't run, don't run!" "Shouting, throw your legs and chase." Zhu Housan didn't look good, and shouted at the two soldiers guarding the courtyard door: "Stop him and catch him!" Tang Bohu was not wearing clothes, the smooth and slippery one was not caught, and Tang Bohu jumped out of the courtyard, and then jumped out of a courtyard, directly running naked to the street, while running and crying and shouting: "Ninth Lady, my daughter-in-law, you come back, come back quickly!" At this time, both courtyards were jumped out. The palace compound ran out of such a crazy person, that is worth it! This is called the face of the prince to which to rest! Zhu Housan quickly called out to a few family members and said, "Hurry up and chase after them on the street!" Get this crazy guy back. Three or four family members rushed out of the palace and ran to the street to take Tang Bohu back. There were many people watching the bustle on the street, and they didn't know what had happened to the Ning Palace, so they all talked about it: "Do you have to take off your clothes before you beat people in the palace?" ”
After Tang Bohu was twisted back by several family members, he asked Zhu Housan how to fall? Zhu Housan said, "It is necessary for The prince to decide on this person's fate, or to push him into the house, and a few of you will watch outside the door, and then run to you to ask!" ”
After Tang Bohu was pushed into the house, he picked up the painting he had deliberately dropped from behind the door and said, "Oops! Ninth Lady, my daughter-in-law, didn't you run? Scared to hide behind the door? Oops, not afraid? We go to bed, we go to bed, we are not afraid, we are not afraid of my good daughter-in-law..."
At this time, Zhu Housan ran to Prince Ning with a sigh of relief and stammered, "Wang Ye, something went wrong!" The prince said, "What is the panic, what happened?" How did you talk to Tang Yin? Look at you like this! Zhu Housan said, "Prince Yu, I haven't talked about it yet, Tang Yin, he's crazy!" So I reported what I had just seen. Wang Ye was surprised and said, "Want to sleep with the woman on the painting?" This unproductive thing, and such a thing! He also asked, "When you talk to him in normal times, have you ever leaked the secrets of this king?" Zhu Housan said, "I dare to swear to heaven that there is absolutely none!" Not a word! I reckon that he was taken to the scene of the murder yesterday afternoon and frightened, plus this man had a serious heart, and even took his painting of Shen Jiuniang and went crazy to sleep. ”
Wang Ye asked again, "In your opinion, will his madness be pretended?" Zhu Housan said, "Definitely not pretending, Wang Ye, you didn't look at that crazy look, in broad daylight, running out in stripes, fortunately, there were no female relatives in the palace who came out to see it." Now I have sent someone to see in that room, and ask the prince how to deal with it? Wang Ye thought about it and said, "Does this still need to be said?" What use does the royal palace want this madman! Zhu Housan said, "Then cut him off?" Wang Ye said, "Cut down a madman, he did not break the king's law, and it was not good for the king to pass it out, so he simply told him to put on his clothes and blast him out, and he was not allowed to come back." Zhu Housan said, "Obey the order" and leave.
Zhu Housan took a few family members to Tang Bohu's residence and shouted, "You crazy person, get dressed and go on the road!" When Tang Bohu heard the word "on the road", he thought to himself, "on the road" means to die, and then he thought, "Death is death!" Even if you die, you must play this crazy drama to the end. So, he got up from the bed and said, "Daughter-in-law, that person told me to go on the road, and I will take you with me!" "Picking up the portrait, I was going to go out the door naked. Zhu Housan said, "You put your clothes on, take all your things with you, and roll quickly!" Tang Bohu listened to the words "fast roll" again, feeling that there was still hope for life. So he said slowly, "Roll and roll!" He slowly put his clothes on, and Zhu Housan deliberately asked, "Why don't you wear the clothes sent to you by the palace?" Tang Bohu said: "Wearing that, that dress, I, my daughter-in-law, she, she does not know me, I still wear my original clothes." "The clothes are dressed, the bag I carried with me is on my back, and the painting is in my arms. Then, Tang Bohu slept on the ground and couldn't get up, and his mouth said that he told others to let go. Zhu Housan asked, "What are you doing here?" Tang Bohu said, "It was you, you told me to roll!" Zhu Housan told someone to pull him up and hurry up! Tang Bohu was pushed out by someone and walked out, walked to the courtyard door and stood up again. Question: "I haven't slept well with my daughter-in-law just now, can I let us both go back to the house to sleep, sleep and then leave?" Zhu Housan was annoyed and scolded, "Fuck you!" If you don't go anymore, I'll tell someone to beat you up and go, go fast! At this time, Tang Bohu was running in small steps, while turning his head and shouting: "No, don't hit me, I, my daughter-in-law is afraid..." Just like that, Tang Bohu was driven out of the palace, and those few family members watched him run out of the city before returning.
Tang Bohu was driven out of the city, looking at the river in front of him, it was estimated that there was a ferry if there was a river, at this time his heart gradually calmed down. He wondered, if this prince let him go, would he regret it again? In order to prevent himself, he hid in the sorghum field on the shore, combed his hair with his hands, wiped his face with a handkerchief, rearranged his clothes, and the crown towel fluttered, still not reducing the style of a beautiful man, at least no one could think that he was crazy.
Besides, those few family members returned to the house to report to Zhu Housan that the madman had been driven out of the city and left on the road. Zhu Housan then reported to Wang Ye, "The Tang madman has been driven away, so don't worry about it!" The words "Wang Ye is assured" were said, which made Wang Ye feel uneasy. Only to see him pat his head and say, "Not good! Turning back to Zhu Housan, he said, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of just in case, if this Tang Yin detects the clues in my house, what if he pretends to be crazy?" Wouldn't it be a big deal for me! You personally brought a few knives and axemen to catch up with him, and it is not allowed to say that you will come back to see me after cutting, anyway, ben king, I have killed so many people, it does not matter if I kill one more. Zhu Housan said, "Obey the order!" With two swords and axemen and a few of the family members just now, they rode forward along the road of Tang Bohu out of the city. All the way to the river, several people were already crossing the river by boat. Zhu Housan's gang shouted from afar: "Don't drive the boat-- " The boat boss saw that this class of murderous devils in the royal palace had come, and every time they came, they either arrested people or cut people, and they had to think of ways to deal with it in a hurry, and try their best to protect the ferrymen, otherwise what would this business do! Zhu Housan and his gang rushed to the bow of the ship and asked, "Did you see a crazy man coming here?" It was a man, in his early forties. When the boat boss heard this, he immediately made up a set of false words: "Ah! You say that man is crazy? Seen, seen. Zhu Housan asked eagerly, "What about the others?" The captain of the ship said, "Listen to me hi! I was just about to ferry on that trip, a madman rushed to the boat, he did not pay him money, I asked him, he did not give. Without money for me, he couldn't take him, he actually asked a man next to him for money, asked people to put it on him, people refused, he tore people's homes, it was he himself who accidentally fell into the river, the boat was moving and no one went down to save him, this time I don't know how far it was washed down by the river? Zhu Housan asked again, "Did that man carry a cloth bag on his back?" The captain of the ship said, "It seems to be on his back, right?" But I just care about getting angry, pay attention to those! ”
Listening to the captain of the boat, the family members all said: "This boat driver is right, the madman must have fallen into the water and drowned, let's go back to life!" Zhu Housan thought about it and said, "Such a deep water, and it rushed down a long way, where to go to find it?" Go home! Zhu Housan and several family members went to Wang Ye to report to him, and Wang Ye was convinced and only said, "Drowning is good!" ”
Tang Bohu hid in the crop field, and the conversation between the boat boss and Zhu Housan and others was vaguely heard intermittently: "Crazy man", "drowned", "go back to life" A few words were heard. Even so, for the sake of safety, Tang Bohu did not dare to cross the river by boat here, and hid until dark before he dared to come out. He walked along the river bank to the east for dozens of miles before a bridge crossed the river, and after crossing the river, he asked where the Yangtze River dock was? Rushed to the dock at about dawn, bought a ticket to Yangzhou, got on the boat, went out of Jiangxi, passed through Anhui, crossed Nanjing to Yangzhou, and then bought a ticket to Suzhou. After arriving at Tang Shen's house first, I told my relatives and friends that everyone was glad that Tang Bohu did not die! That night and the next morning, his brother Tang Shen's family and Wang Pet's family respectively put wine to relieve Tang Bohu's wind and shock, and then everyone could not stay, Tang Bohu had to continue to go back to Taohuawu to live, saying that it was the place where his dead wife rested for a long time, and sooner or later it was better to go to the grave to talk with Jiu Niang. What twists and turns will Tang Bohu encounter in his life after that? And listen to me slowly.
