Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Mao Yanshou, who was locked up in the Yamen of Jingzhaoyin, was treated as a death row prisoner. He was handcuffed during the day and slept in a high bunk at night, but his hands and feet were tied to a special wooden platform. This wooden platform is called "box bed". After sleeping on the box bed for three days, Mao Yanshou felt that life would be worse than death.But when the jailer said: "Mao Siwu, you are very happy today!" But he was so frightened that he almost passed out. "You, you always explain, what is the happy event?" "Then let's explain it more clearly, so as not to be a fool: I was ordered to kill you today, what do you have to say to the family?"

This time Mao Yanshou really passed out, paralyzed on the ground, unable to be tied up, the jailer fetched a bucket of cold water, and poured it on his head, Mao Yanshou woke up slowly, crying loudly, begging for mercy.The prison officer had never met such a death row prisoner, so it was useless to persuade him, so he had to ignore him. At this time of commotion, people from Tingwei Yamen suddenly came to stop the execution, took Mao Yanshou away, and then transferred him to Zhongshufu. Mao Yanshou was overjoyed, thinking that things had turned for the better, and his life depended on Shi Xian.Along the way, they calculated that they would have to deal with Shi Xian with all their attention, and at least they would say that he was alive.

After entering the back hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, and said respectfully, "Mao Yanshou thanked the Prime Minister for not killing me!" "Don't dare, dare not!" Shi Xian replied, "I have no right not to kill you." "Xiangye is too modest, the emperor only listens to Xiangye. Mao Yanshou knows that he is guilty of death, and only Xiangye can save my life." "I want to save you, but you are too cunning, I can't believe you in saving people!" Mao Yanshou grinned in pain, then gritted his teeth suddenly, and repeated the trick of self-blame, hitting himself on the mouth while cursing: "Mao Yanshou, you bastard! Mao Yanshou, you should die! Who told you not to do it normally? A good thing, when you want to change your past for good, you have no chance—”

"Mao Yanshou!" Shi Xian yelled loudly: "Do you really want to turn your heart to goodness?" "Master Xiang, don't ask me, I can't dig out my heart to show Master Xiang!" "I'll give you a chance, how about it?" "Master Xiang, Master Xiang!" Mao Yanshou kowtowed his head loudly: "As expected, Master Xiang is my reborn parents." "Don't be happy just now!" Shi Xianzheng said with a straight face: "It depends on your ability, if you don't succeed, you will die!" "It must be a success, it must be a success!" Mao Yanshou said energetically: "Master Xiangye is the one who knows people best. Of course, I have already estimated that it must be something that I, Mao Yanshou, can do to give me such a gift." Chance."

These two sentences are just right and true.Shi Xian thought it was pleasing to the ear, nodded and said, "Even so, don't take it lightly." "How dare you take your life lightly?" So Shi Xian ordered the left and right to stay far away, and Fang asked Mao Yanshou: "Hu Hanxie and you have a good relationship, right?" Mao Yanshou didn't dare to tell the truth, he hesitated "Mmm, um". "Tell the truth!" Shi Xian warned: "The more honest you are, the greater the chance of survival." "Yes!" Mao Yanshou went all out: "Hu Hanxie is very friendly to me, and calls me 'Old Mao'".

"It's so commensurate, the friendship is very good. Mao Yanshou, I'm going to send you back to Hu Hanxie now, and you have to confess to him, saying that you lied to him." Mao Yanshou blinked wildly and asked: "Please tell me, Mr. Xiang, what do you think I lied to him?" "The first time you escaped to the hotel, did you bring a picture of Wang Zhaojun with you?" "There is such a thing." "Then tell Hu Hanxie that Wang Zhaojun's picture is wrong! You just made it so beautiful on purpose to incite him. In fact, I don't match the picture you presented."

Mao Yanshou thought for a while, then nodded again and again: "I understand what Xiangye means, but," he asked hesitantly, "If Hu Hanxie asks me what the real Wang Zhaojun looks like, what should I say?" "What do you think?" "Live here," Mao Yanshou tentatively asked, "Live in Shanglinyuan in Korean?" "Wang Zhaojun!" Shi Xian said heavily, which startled Mao Yanshou: "Remember! Now living in Shanglin Garden is Princess Ning Huchang Wang Zhaojun.Hu Hanxie has already seen it. " "Yes, yes! Now, I completely understand!"

"It's not enough just to understand! You have to make Hu Hanxie believe it. If he doesn't believe it, you still won't survive." Shi Xian paused for a moment and said, "Mao Yanshou, I know you are full of tricks and tricks, so go ahead! Planning, how can Hu Hanxie believe your words!" This was a huge problem, Mao Yanshou kept tapping his forehead with his hands, hesitating with triangular eyes raised and blinked. If it took a long time, Mao Yanshou asked suddenly: "Master Xiang, there is something I don't understand. Your old man let me out, are you afraid that I will escape?"

Shi Xian smiled slightly, and took out a children's toy from his sleeve, a small drum with a bamboo frame and thin skin, with ropes tied on both sides, and a soybean was tied on it, and he only held the handle and twisted it; the small drum was shaken, and the soybean hit the drum head Dong, Dong" sounds, and its name is called "Bolang Drum". "Do you know whose toy this is?" Mao Yanshou immediately knew that there was a word "Mao" on it, which was written by him, "This, this is a puppy's toy".He said, "How did it get into the hands of Master Xiang?"

"Your wife and your son, I have sent someone to put them in a very safe place." Mao Yanshou was startled, but he couldn't help thanking him with a smile on his face. Although Shi Xian has mastered Mao Yanshou's "lifeblood", he is not blindly threatening. Good words of encouragement, made a lot of redemption, and promises of rewards.Mao Yanshou is naturally grateful. After talking about this paragraph, Mao Yanshou asked: "Please tell me, Mr. Xiang, when can I go to see Hu Hanxie?" "If you've made up your mind, you can go anytime." "Think about it! In a word, adapt to the situation, and I have to settle the trouble I caused myself."

"I believe you have the ability!" Shi Xian ordered loudly: "Prepare the horse to serve you." Due to Hu Litu's previous dredging and Mao Yanshou being sent back, of course Hu Hanxie will not be rude to Shi Xian like the first time.But there is no smile, just treat each other with courtesy. "Chan Yu, look, I brought Mao Yanshou here." Shi Xian said, "The emperor, looking at Shan Yu's face, pardoned Mao Yanshou." It was unexpected for Hu Hanxie to be pardoned.After Mao Yanshou was brought up, he asked, "Old Mao, have you been pardoned?" "Yes, thank you, Shan Yu." "Thank you? Draw me another picture that looks real." "Yes, yes!" Shi Xian said hastily: "Mao Yanshou is free now, and he can be your guest as much as he wants." But Mao Yanshou shook his head and said, "No way!" With this sound, even Shi Xian was stunned.Hu Hanxie asked: "You don't want to draw for me?" "It's not that I don't want to." Mao Yanshou replied: "My sins have been forgiven, but my job as a court painter has also been lost. I have to find a way to make ends meet." "This," Hu Hanxie said with a smile: "Are you still worried? I give you money and you spend it." Mao Yanshou immediately cheered up, "That's good!" He said, "Shanyu can paint whenever he wants." "Draw today. You stay with me for a few days." "Can." So Shi Xian made a gesture of getting up to say goodbye, "Okay!" He said, "Let's talk about it, and all misunderstandings will be cleared up." "Since it's said and done!" "The matter of marriage is still as originally discussed." "The original proposal is the original proposal, but Wang Zhaojun won." "It's Wang Zhaojun!" Shi Xian pretended to be surprised, "Hasn't Shan Yu passed away?" "What?" Hu Hanxie's eyes widened: "That's not Han—" The word "wen" was not exported, Mao Yanshou suddenly interrupted: "No, no, it is Wang Zhaojun, it is Wang Zhaojun." At this moment, Hu Hanxie became suspicious, looked at Shi Xian, then at Mao Yanshou, and asked loudly, "Old Mao, what's going on?" At this time, the four people present each had an expression, Hu Hanxie was frightened and angry; Hu Litu was confused; Wonderful, with flushed face, panic and embarrassment, overflowing with words. "It's my fault, it's my fault. There are a lot of grievances, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. All in all, I'm too ridiculous and irresponsible." Seeing this scene, Shi Xian was relieved, and he just took care of the situation and played a supporting role for Mao Yanshou, singing a part of the play well. "Mao Yanshou must be in the way of me, so I can't say something. Shan Yu," he stood up, "Let me take my leave!" "Shi Zhongshu," Hu Hanxie said apologetically, "I can't keep you drinking today, and Hu Litu will see the guests off for me." Watching Hu Litu go away with Shi Xian, Mao Yanshou said calmly: "Forget it, the fake Zhaojun lives in Shanglinyuan." Shi Xian's plan fell through completely.Mao Yanshou actually told Hu Hanxie the truth! Not only did he reveal his true feelings, but he also borrowed money for Hu Hanxie, and of course he was looking for a way out for himself.He persuaded Han Xie to be ruthless, the more ruthless the better.Taking him as an example, if Hu Hanxie hadn't exerted strong pressure on Shi Xian, he would not have been able to keep someone under the sword and come back here. "What you said is very reasonable, Lao Mao. Let me ask you now, how can I get Zhen Zhaojun? Moreover," Hu Han said with a stronger tone, "I can make Shi Xian believe that you really got me Persuaded?" "There is a way. First, Shan Yu, you have to get out of the tiger's mouth early. When you reach the border, you are the one who is ruthless. Second, you have to pretend to believe that the real Zhaojun lives in Shanglinyuan." "It's easy to be confused." "The third is not easy." Mao Yanshou said: "Shan Yu, you have to bribe someone to send you news and be your internal correspondent." "Shanyu already had this intention," said Hu Litu, who joined the secret conversation midway, "but there is no way." "I will show you a bright path." Mao Yanshou said one word: "Shi!" "Yeting ordered Shi Hengzhi?" "The bag will take the bait." "Actually, Lao Mao, can't you also message me?" "Me?" Mao Yanshou pointed to his nose and said, "I have to follow Shan Yu!" "Follow me? Good!" Hu Hanxie said happily, "But, will Shi Xian let you go?" "Yes," Mao Yanshou said with great confidence, "When the time comes, I will teach Shan Yu a sentence, and my discipline teacher Shi Xian will be speechless, so he must let him go." "Come on, come on!" Hu Litu had a question: "Old Mao, of course Shi Xian knows that you have voted for Shanyu again. At that time, what will your wife and children do?" Mao Yanshou didn't speak, he just raised his palm and slashed down, in a decapitating gesture. "Are you willing?" Hu Hanxie asked. "I can't help it, I have to live." Mao Yanshou said: "There is no one who knows Shi Xian better than me. Even if I get things done for him, Shan Yu you married Han Wen back as Zhaojun, really Zhaojun Now that I am the concubine of the Han Palace, Shi Xian still wants to kill me. Shan Yu, Shan Yu, there is a saying, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!" 'If my old man doesn't even understand this, can I still play? " "Okay! You just follow me with all your heart!" Hu Hanxie said to Hu Litu: "How do we go, how do we perfunctory Shi Xian, how do we contact Shi Hengzhi, and what should we do after we leave? You and Lao Mao have a good time." Let's discuss it."
