Chapter 68 Master, Don’t Blame Me
He picked up a torture device and gestured with it on Su Yang, "Do you know how to skin and straw?"
Su Yang was skinning and stuffing straw, and his body trembled, "What are you doing!"
"It seems you know," Xie Lan smiled meaningfully. "Do you want to try it?"
Su Yang looked terrified, "You you you..."
"Shh," Xie Lan chuckled, "Don't make any noise. Rest now. It might hurt later."
After saying that, he went to the wall and picked and chose for knives. The expression on Su Yang's face kept changing. When Xie Lan walked up to him again with a few knives, he swallowed.
"Let me think about it," Xie Lan said thoughtfully, "where should I start?"
"From the top of the head, you can peel off a whole piece of skin to make a drum, which must be excellent."
Xie Lan slowly approached Su Yang with a knife in hand. He comforted him, "Don't be afraid. My elder brother may not have any other skills, but he's good at making life-saving pills. I guarantee you'll be able to survive after I skin you alive."
Su Yang swallowed hard and said in horror, "Don't...don't come over here!"
Xie Lan had a gentle smile on his face, but his hands were extremely brutal. The knife in his hand gently scratched Su Yang's head. Su Yang shuddered in pain and subconsciously shouted, "Stop, I'll tell you!"
"say what?"
Xie Lan focused on the movements of his hands and said casually, "Aren't you being stubborn? Don't say anything. Just bear with the pain. If your facial expression interferes with my skinning, I'll be angry."
"No," Su Yang said in panic when he saw that he refused to stop, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you everything. I didn't give you the drug, but I know who did..."
Although the high position and generous salary promised by Prince Su is very tempting, Su Yang does not want to die!
When you die, you have nothing. What does it matter how high your official position is?
Xie Lan's hand paused, "Who?"
"My Master!"
Su Yang said these three words without hesitation. Seeing Xie Lan's puzzled expression, he hurriedly said, "When I gave the sachet to Miss Shen Xun, my master had seen the sachet I gave to her. It was also he who told me that Qi Yunxi was going to send food to Miss Shen Xun and asked me to give the sachet to her so that she could take it to Miss Shen Xun."
Master, you have lived for more than 40 years anyway, and you have lived enough. Why don’t you help your disciple? In the future, during festivals, your disciple will bring his children and grandchildren to burn paper money and kowtow to you.
Su Yang consoled himself in his heart and suppressed the guilt of betraying his teacher and ancestors.
Xie Lan moved the knife, and Su Yang felt a pain on his head. "How did Su Song know that Yun Xi was going to deliver food?"
"Also, Su Song and Shen Xun have no grudges against each other, so why would he poison her?"
Su Yang said without hesitation: "Because Hui Niang sprained her ankle, it was my master who asked me to do it. Qi Yunxi is in the kitchen, she will definitely help Hui Niang deliver the meal."
"As for why you want to poison Miss Shen Xun..."
Su Yang hesitated for a moment. "I have seen the letter between Master and the Emperor. In the letter, the Emperor ordered Master to find someone named 'Chen Xun'. If there is such a person, Master should kill her."
"It was my master's request that I learn to make ointments from Prince Hu. While Prince Hu was being pestered by me, my master secretly stole some Heart-Eroding Powder from him."
Heart-Eroding Powder is a white powder that becomes colorless and odorless when mixed with other things. Even a small amount is enough to poison an adult.
So Su Yang stole a little, but King Hu didn't notice it at all.
Why did Su Yang steal the heart?
First, he couldn't find the poison, and second, he had heard King Hu mention the Heart-Eroding Powder on the way to exile.
The Heart-Eroding Powder is a highly toxic substance that can kill anyone who comes into contact with it.
Also, Su Yang could continue to recuperate and make ointments for his master to get close to King Hu, so he came up with the idea of using the Heart-Eroding Powder.
In order to please Xie Lan, Su Yang also offered a guess, "Although I don't know how Miss Shen Xun offended the emperor, but I guess it must be because the letter that Master asked the officials to bring back to the capital mentioned Miss Shen Xun's name and deeds, so the emperor..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Lan cautiously. Seeing that he lowered his eyes in thought, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
With all the causes and consequences, and his disciple as a witness, Xie Lan should believe it, right?
If Su Yang felt guilty at the beginning, he had already brainwashed himself after what he said.
right.
It was done by the master.
He was only forced by his master to do some trivial things. Even if he was to be convicted, he was only an accomplice and his crime did not deserve the death penalty.
Xie Lan murmured, "It turns out that I misunderstood you."
Su Yang flattered, "Yes, you didn't blame me wrongly. I did do something wrong. My mistake was aiding and abetting the evil."
"I am guilty and I deserve to be punished. I am willing to spend the rest of my life praying for Miss Shen Xun. Please spare my life..."
Xie Lan sighed, "If that's the case, then I'll let you go."
Su Yang's face lit up with joy, but before he could thank him, Xie Lan said, "It's just that I forgive your trivial mistakes, but not others."
Xie Lan said helplessly: "You also know that when Shen Xun got into trouble, they were as sad as they were, and they hated you as much as they did. The few words I said can't dispel their hatred for you at all."
"Even if it's a trivial mistake, they will inevitably kill you to vent their anger."
"Besides," Xie Lan spread his hands, "I'm too lazy to explain it to you."
After saying that, Xie Lan threw the knife aside and pretended to leave.
Su Yang was anxious. "Sir, please don't leave. I, I... please ask you to ask others to come over so I can explain to them. How about that?"
Xie Lan did not stop.
Su Yang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. Xie Lan didn't stop until he was almost at the door.
"Okay," Xie Lan said lazily, "Just consider it a good deed I did today. You wait."
Xie Lan pushed the door open and Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He realized later that blood was still coming out of his head, but fortunately it was not a large amount and he would not die for a while.
After leaving the cell, Xie Lan ordered someone to bring Su Song over, while he went to find Qi Yunxi and others to act as extras.
Qi Yunxi was wiping Shen Xun's face and hands in her room. When Xie Lan arrived, she had just finished wiping.
"Dad, now that you're here, I'll leave first..."
"Don't leave yet. Call a few people to wait for me at the prison gate."
Qi Yunxi was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
Xie Lan gently touched Chen Xun's cheek. Although Su Yang's words sounded reasonable, Xie Lan didn't believe them all.
Of course, there is some truth in it.
For example, the mastermind behind this is Prince Su!
"Brother, are you here?"
King Hu panted and clung to the door frame, gasping for air. "The medicine to delay the onset of the poison is ready! It's ready!"
Heart-Eroding Powder can cause a person's heart to slowly stop beating while in a coma. Fortunately, Su Yang used this. If it was something like Crane's Beak Red Bone-Crushing Pill, Shen Xun would have died before King Hu could take out the antidote.
Xie Lan stood up excitedly. He took the medicine from King Hu and carefully fed it to Shen Xun.
