The principal culprit was sentenced to be beheaded.
On the day of the beheading, the autumn wind was bleak, and the chill hit the bones. Xie Suyu presided over the execution, and He Wenlin protected the execution place as the executioner.
Xie Suyu was worried about letting others escort the prisoner, so he asked Xu Yanquan to come forward. This was not an easy task, but it was rare that Xu Yanquan agreed.
"Killing people is nothing but a nod. I have killed many people on the battlefield, but compared to them, it is nothing! If they turn into evil spirits, they can come to me even if they want to let them know what it means to be a god of death!"
These are Xu Yanquan’s original words.
When the main criminals, a man and a woman, were taken to the execution ground, the onlookers were filled with resentment. They threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even some rotten fish and shrimps at the execution ground.
If Xu Yanquan hadn't hid in time, several rotten eggs would have hit him.
"Bitch! Whore! Nothing can compare to the resentment in my heart if I am cut into pieces!" The mother who lost her daughter cried with red eyes. She looked at the two people at the execution ground and gritted her teeth with hatred!
"Beasts, poisonous women, for doing such despicable things in the pure land of Buddhism, you will all be beasts in the next life, the next life!" The scholar who lost his wife held it in for a long time, but he could only curse a few words. Powerless words.
Xie Suyu looked at the people under the execution ground, crying and wailing.
After a long time, Xie Suyu looked at the sun in front of him. It was already noon.
Xie Suyu looked at the two people in front of him and asked coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The woman was already too scared to speak, and the man was covered in scars, but his eyes were still full of hatred: "If you kill me today, you must have the guts to wait for me to turn into a devil to take revenge. You wait Wait, wait!"
This is the first time even an executioner has seen a person who is unrepentant and deeply resentful at the moment of death.
Xu Yanquan stood there, full of righteousness, with a bit of sarcasm on his face: "Wait? Evil ghost? So what if you become an evil ghost? Do you think God will let you go?"
The man bared his teeth and wanted to say something else, but when he raised his head, he saw Xu Qingmo standing not far away. She was dressed as a man, standing under the sun, but her whole body exuded a coldness.
The man was trembling with fear for a moment, and someone underneath immediately noticed: "He is afraid, and the bull-headed horse face of Lord Yama has come to take him in. He finally knows that he is afraid!"
Amidst the cheers, Xie Suyu asked people to start the execution.
The two people were stripped of their clothes and hid on a shelf. The so-called Lingchi punishment was literally being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven knives, one knives are not too much, each knives are not too little!
The punishment of Ling Chi had actually been abolished many years ago, but this time, the two main criminals were sentenced to death by Ling Chi. Thinking about it, they really angered the emperor, and many of his daughters died unexpectedly.
Screams, cries, laughter, and curses filled his ears, but Xu Qingmo just pulled down the bamboo hat on his head, then followed the flow of people and left quietly.
On the way back, Xu Qingmo walked slowly on the road alone. Wherever he passed, almost everyone was talking about today's Lingchi's punishment. But, along the way, Xu Qingmo didn't even hear anyone say cruel!
When a person's sin reaches the extreme, no matter how serious the sin is, it is impossible for anyone to have any mercy.
When Xu Qingmo returned to the mansion, Mrs. Xu was reading the account books in the yard. When she saw Xu Qingmo coming back, she got up and went to greet him: "You're back? But have you seen your elder brother?"
"How did mother know that I went to the execution ground to watch the execution?" Xu Qingmo was a little surprised.
"In these days, I have been at home every day and not going anywhere. But today, I suddenly woke up early and changed my clothes. No girl took me out. Apart from going to the execution ground, I could go Where is it?" Mrs. Xu said softly.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "I just want to see if those people will be scared when it's their turn to die?"
Mrs. Xu sighed softly, and then said: "You should be afraid, people. Only when the knife cuts on your body will you know the pain and fear."
Xu Qingmo paused, then nodded with a smile: "That's what mother said!"
"Tomorrow is the day when the Lin family is exiled. Are you going to take a look?" Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered.
"The Lin family is responsible for themselves, what is there to see? So ugly, why don't we give them two more sets of clothes to keep out the cold?" Xu Qingmo curled his lips, "I won't go!"
"Then don't go!" Mrs. Xu shook her head, "Everyone in this world says that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven. The Lin family forced girls into prostitution for the sake of some money. Now, all the wives and daughters of their own family have also been thrown into prostitution. , it’s really...retribution!”
Xu Qingmo was silent for a long time, thinking of the daughters of the Lin family, paused, and then said: "It is unfair for a father to pay his debts, but there is nothing he can do about it!"
Mrs. Xu nodded: "In the final analysis, it can be regarded as revenge for your second uncle. The Lin family caused his family to be destroyed, and now he can be regarded as letting out a bad breath!"
But because of Mrs. Xu's words, Xu Qingmo suddenly remembered: "A few days ago, my mother was still proposing marriage to my second uncle. Why has there been no news for so long?"
"There are a few suitable ones. Although their family status is a little lower, they are after all meant to be your second uncle's step-wives. If they are too high-ranking, they won't be willing to do it. Just wait for your second uncle to find time. We can look at each other." Mrs. Xu said softly, "I'm afraid your second uncle won't be very willing."
"If you don't want to, then force him to go. The eldest brother is like father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like mother. He always has to listen to what mother says." Xu Qingmo said softly, "Second uncle still has to marry his wife. He has already After being delayed for half my life by Mrs. Wen, I can't live the rest of my life alone!"
"Your father and I think so too. He just lost his wife and daughter not long ago. It's human nature not to want to see each other, but he can't live the rest of his life by himself. Sooner or later, he has to take this step. Instead of waiting, It's better that we force him!" Mrs. Xu nodded and said.
Xu Qingmo smiled: "Mother is the most virtuous, so when will you give me a younger brother and sister?"
"I told your father about this!" Mrs. Xu's ears turned red, "Your father agrees, but I'm older and not as good as a young girl. Can I give it to you?" It depends on whether I am lucky enough to have a younger sister!"
Xu Qingmo paused, knowing that Mrs. Xu had figured it out, and said with a smile: "Mother is naturally the most blessed person!"
Mrs. Xu smiled, with a bit of tears in the corners of her eyes.
