Emperor Taihe issued a general amnesty, but not all prisoners were granted pardon.
For example, Xie Yun.
He was not included in this pardon, so he had to stay in Yizhou to continue serving his sentence.
Luo Zheng arranged jobs for him and Xie You as copyists and teachers. Over the years, the hands of father and son were covered with calluses.
However, Xie You was pardoned this time and could return to his hometown. Although he would not be able to take the imperial examinations in the future, it was still better than staying in Yizhou.
The two were originally exiled to Hejian Prefecture. Later, Xie Xiu became the prefect of Hejian Prefecture. Luo Zheng did not want Xie Yun and Xie You to influence him, so he transferred Xie Yun and his son to Yizhou before Xie Xiu arrived in Hejian Prefecture.
At that time, he had successfully captured Yizhou, and based on this achievement, he became the governor of Yizhou.
Xie Yun and his son were transferred to Yizhou, and the lives of these two people were all under Luo Zheng's control.
There were many Yi people in Yizhou, and it was not easy to educate them, so Luo Zheng asked Xie Yun and his son to be the teachers of the Yi people.
Although these barbarians were not easy to get along with, after listening to Xie Yun's lessons for a period of time, they still had some respect for him.
Luo Zheng had the news spread that Xie Yun had killed his wife and son and was unfaithful, causing the Yi people to despise Xie Yun so much that they were even unwilling to attend his classes anymore.
Xie You's pardon this time was also due to Luo Zheng's contribution.
As for Xie Yun... he should be content with living for so many more years.
After Xie You was pardoned, he immediately left Xie Yun and left Yizhou impatiently.
After he left, Xie Yun, who was already depressed, became even more desolate, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
Although he always felt a little uncomfortable with his son Xie You, he didn't like him as much as he liked other children.
But during these years of exile, they lived together day and night, depending on each other, and he had long regarded Xie You as his only relative.
Now that Xie You has been pardoned, he leaves him without hesitation. How can he feel good about it?
Xie Yun felt unprecedented loneliness and coldness.
He couldn't help but think back to the past.
Although his wife was of ordinary appearance, she had a sister who was the queen.
She also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him.
Among the three children, Xie Yi is the best. Although Xie Xin is not as good as his brother, he is not bad either.
It's just that Xie Jia is a little too spoiled by her mother and needs to be properly disciplined.
There are also Aunt Liu and Xie You, Qu Wan'er and her four children.
When Xie Yun recalled the past, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was deeply saddened.
He has so many children, but now no one is with him.
His proudest son died, and he didn't know where Xie Xin was sent by the Chen family, nor did he know whether he was still alive.
The most spoiled Jia'er also died. She loved beauty and was afraid of pain, but her face was injured like that. In the end, she died in pain in Chen Fang's arms, and her blood was all over the floor.
You'er married well, but unfortunately she never contacted him in all these years. I guess she doesn't want to recognize him as her father anymore.
And there is Qu Wan'er and her four children. She is really cruel. Not only did she remarry, but she also changed the surnames of her children.
Why? How did things turn out like this?
His eldest son, whom he once loved the most and also feared the most, lived in the countryside for many years and married a country girl, but in the end he was the most glorious one.
His wife was made a duke, his father-in-law was made an earl, his eldest daughter became a crown princess, and his youngest daughter was born lucky and was made a princess.
He was wrong.
Xie Yun was in tears, and his throat felt like something was blocking it, making him feel very uncomfortable.
After holding back for a while, he couldn't help crying: "Wuwuwu..."
If he had known that Xie Xiu would give birth to a lucky baby, he would never have been so reluctant and secretly had an affair with Chen Fang.
Xie Yun cried for a long time and drank another pot of wine to dispel the regret in his heart.
The wine was a bit strong, and he fell asleep immediately after drinking it. When he woke up again, it was dark all around.
Xie Yun fell asleep on the table. When he woke up, he felt sore all over and his head was dizzy.
He fumbled around in confusion, trying to light a lamp, but heard a soft "click" sound and someone lit a match.
Xie Yun was stunned at first, then suddenly became alert!
Xie You has already left, how could there be someone else in his room?
He immediately looked towards the place where the fire was lit, and at the same time, he fumbled around with his hands, looking for a weapon.
But when he saw the face of the person who came, his eyes widened instantly.
"You you you... Luo..."
Xie Yun subconsciously wanted to shout, but he heard Luo Zheng sneer and say: "If you dare to shout, your children will not survive."
The voice that Xie Yun was about to shout was instantly stuck in his throat.
He looked at Luo Zheng with complicated eyes and suddenly asked, "Are you Sheng Niang's younger brother?"
"So you still remember my sister." Luo Zheng forced a sarcastic smile, lit the candle and stood on the table.
The table that was originally hidden in the darkness was instantly illuminated by candlelight.
Xie Yun had an inexplicable bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Luo Zheng with complicated eyes. The other party suddenly came to him at this time and exposed his identity. He was afraid that he didn't want him to live.
Xie Yun's heart was pounding with fear, despair, and a little unwillingness.
Is he going to die now?
So what was the purpose of all his hard work over the years? Was it to finally die at Luo Zheng's hands?
Luo Zheng looked at the changes on his face and laughed sarcastically: "Since you have guessed it, let's start now.
Tear off your undergarment, write a confession in blood, and then eat this grass, and you will be free."
At the end of his speech, Luo Zheng threw a handful of grass on the table.
Xie Yun quickly recognized it as Gelsemium elegans, also known as Gelsemium elegans.
His face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Luo Zheng pleadingly, his lips trembling as he spoke: "Ah...A Zheng..."
He called out Luo Zheng's former name, but before he could finish his words, Luo Zheng interrupted him: "If you don't want to die quickly, I can skin you alive and stuff you into straw.
You should know what skinning is, right? I also have other tortures: slow slicing, boiling, burying alive, burning in the sky, the Five Punishments...
Which one do you want to choose? "
"me……"
Xie Yun was so frightened that he kept shaking. He wanted to say, "I am your brother-in-law," but thinking of the tragic death of Luo Sheng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he did not dare to speak.
I could only ask sadly, "Does it have to be like this?"
Luo Zheng's eyes were grim, but the corners of his mouth were smiling happily: "If you don't want to be tortured, just do as I say.
And your concubines, perhaps you would like to see them skinned alive?"
"Don't!" Xie Yun was so scared that he quickly said, "I... I will listen to you..."
After saying this, he looked at his already rough hands, put his fingers in his mouth and bit them hard, then tore off a piece of his inner clothes and began to write a confession of repentance.
Luo Zheng watched with satisfaction until he finished writing, then suddenly asked, "How does it feel to have blood on your hands? When you killed Chen Fang, did her blood stain your hands?"
These words instantly brought back some very bad memories for Xie Yun.
