The other executioner had a blank expression on his face as he opened a wooden box and picked out a tool.

The crowd screamed, Guo Jing stared in horror, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The executioner seemed accustomed to this, perhaps because he had seen this happen often. He took a porcelain bottle from the box, opened the cap, and placed it against Guo Jing's nose.

Guo Jing woke up slowly and looked at the scene in front of him. The toolbox next to him was filled with various tools. It went without saying that they were prepared to be used against him.

Guo Jing was so frightened that he began to twist his body desperately: "No, no! Wuuuuu..."

The executioner held a knife and measured Guo Jing's body, then took out a ruler to measure his size. Then he put the knife back into the box and took out a saw.

The crowd below was even more shocked. A saw? Could it be used to saw people?

"Ah! Wuuuuu..." Guo Jing burst into tears. No one could stand this kind of visual stimulation.

Guo Jing was almost frightened, so the executioner put all the tools back into the box, closed the wooden box, and walked away with it.

At this time, the soldier next to him took Guo Jing down from the wooden stake and forced him to kneel on the ground.

Guo Jing was still in fear, and the onlookers below began to whisper, not understanding what was going on.

At this time, an official at the back held an imperial edict in his hand, unfolded it and read: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

All the officials and civilians at the execution ground knelt down.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, and rule the world with charity. However, the punishment of lingchi is too cruel. Out of gratitude for the people, I hereby abolish the punishments of lingchi, chariot division, and beheading in half in the Great Song Dynasty. I decree this!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then some applauded and cheered. It turned out that most people still didn't like torture.

Zhao Huan felt that Ling Chi was too cruel and inhumane. He only tried to scare Guo Jing when he carried out the execution, and issued an edict to abolish these cruel punishments forever in the Song Dynasty.

Guo Jing was still in shock, as if in a dream. At this moment, the official from the Ministry of Justice behind him said, "Prisoner Guo Jing, you can be spared from lingchi, but you cannot escape the death penalty. Execute!"

This time Guo Jing was not so lucky. The executioner raised the ghost-head knife and slashed it down.
