The bronze gradually turned red as it burned.

The four men were tied up by the guards, and then they were pulled with iron chains and pressed on the torture platform!

Sizzle!

The air is filled with smoke and it stinks!

The four men couldn't shout out, but the immense pain still made them make harsh hoarse sounds in their throats. Their bodies twisted and struggled, and finally they were burned into four balls of dry ashes!

Li Qing then tossed his sleeves and said, "The thief's fate was witnessed by all of you, my dear ministers. I do not wish for you to be subjected to the same torture and burning as I did last time! Dismiss your presence!"

After saying that, he stood up and went to the harem.

"Withdraw from the court!"

Wang Youzhi also shouted with a pale face. This was the third time he had seen the power of burning with red-hot iron, but he still felt a chill in his heart.

Among the ministers, except for the frank Shang Rong and Bigan, and a dozen or so people like Wen Zhong and Shen Gongbao who didn't mind at all, almost all of them had weak legs. Some of them were so weak that they needed the help of their colleagues before they could gradually leave the Wanshou Hall.

Today was too terrible, especially for those officials who had made up their minds yesterday to cut off ties with the Western Zhou Dynasty. Their hearts were in their throats!

Fortunately, although the king is overbearing, his words are laws and he will never change them. If he says he will not pursue the matter, then he will not pursue it!

Therefore, after they left the Wanshou Hall, they felt as if they were reborn. Even when they saw a flying bird, they felt a little happy.

When Li Qing returned to the harem, he calmed down.

Today, we will use both kindness and force, kill thirteen and release eight, and this will surely make it so that the remaining officials will no longer have the intention to secretly communicate with the Western Zhou Dynasty. From today on, the Western Zhou Dynasty's spies in the Shang Dynasty will be cut off!

Li Qing, with a calm expression, washed his hands and face, then walked into the imperial kitchen.

Breakfast is still rich and delicious.

Li Qing sat in his usual seat and started to have breakfast.

But it was at this moment.

Suddenly Wang Youzhi stopped moving.

He stood there with his eyes open, neither breathing nor speaking, like a wooden sculpture.

Li Qing raised his head slightly.

But I saw that it seemed as if the air around me was no longer flowing and time seemed to be frozen.

Even the drop of porridge dripping from the jade spoon in his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall.

"snort."

However, Li Qing still took the spoon and drank a mouthful of porridge. Then he sneered and said, "Master Jieyin, oh, it should be Amitabha. Since you are here before me, why are you being so mysterious? Just show yourself and see me!"

But following Li Qing's words.

Opposite Li Qing, infinite golden light suddenly appeared, accompanied by bursts of Buddhist chanting, Taoist sounds, rolling lotus flowers, and flying auspicious clouds. A Taoist priest appeared in front of him.
