Chapter 218 Execution
"But I want to watch it myself, and I'm afraid the scene will be too scary."
Lu Xiaoyue nodded, "I sent a servant to check it out and told us about it. He felt that something was missing."
Su Jinshi understood, he was just a novice and loved to play.
"We want to ask you, do you want to go and see it?" Lu Xiaoyue asked, "If there are more people, maybe we can give you some courage."
Su Jinshi was actually quite scared, but she had only seen this kind of extreme punishment in books and had never seen it with her own eyes.
If she could see it with her own eyes, it would supplement the knowledge she had read from books and would also be helpful for her future writing.
After thinking about it, Su Jinshi nodded while feeling scared, "Then I'll go take a look too."
"To be honest, I'm scared too. I've never seen these before..." Su Jinshi said.
"When the time comes... the worst that can happen is that we just close our eyes if we're really scared." Li Yuxi held Su Jinshi's hand and cheered herself up.
Su Jinshi nodded.
When Shen Shilang came back in the evening, Su Jinshi told him.
Shen Shilang was helpless when he saw Su Jinshi's scared yet eager look, "You are scared, but I can't help you."
"Are you going to supervise the execution that day?" Su Jinshi asked.
Shen Shilang nodded.
Although Emperor Jiacheng was the instigator of the Shen family's downfall, Qiu Zhaohui was not wrongly accused.
Shen Shilang was able to see with his own eyes that Qiu Zhaohui would die a miserable death, and he was also able to personally supervise the execution, so he was finally able to avenge half of his revenge.
Su Jinshi suddenly hugged Shen Shilang, "Although I couldn't stand by your side that day, I saw the same scene with you."
"It must be a horrible death to see Qiu Zhaohui being torn into pieces by five horses." Su Jinshi said in a low voice. Even if she didn't want to understand history, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Watching the same scene as Shen Shilang.
Shen Shilang hugged Su Jinshi tightly back and said, "If you are scared, close your eyes immediately."
"Yeah." Su Jinshi nodded.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Qiu Zhaohui's execution.
Shen Shilang left before dawn.
Because of supervising the execution, there are many things that need to be prepared.
Li Yuxi and Lu Xiaoyue came to see Su Jinshi together.
Li Yuxi said, "My housekeeper has seen it. There are many people watching the execution today. I have booked a room in Wangyue Tower. We can watch it from inside. If it is too cruel, we can close the window and not watch it."
So the three of them went to the Moon-Watching Tower.
This time, even Emperor Jiacheng came to watch the execution.
But he was watching from the top of the Zhaixing Pavilion.
The Zhaixing Pavilion is located in the center of the capital city. Standing on the Zhaixing Pavilion, you can see the entire capital city.
It is not far from the execution site, so the execution scene can be seen clearly.
Shen Shilang stood on the high platform, and the execution ground had been cleared.
Su Jinshi looked at Shen Shilang, who was wearing a scarlet official uniform and stood out there.
Beside him were other officials and soldiers, all led by him.
It was a bit far away, and Su Jinshi couldn't see the expression on Shen Shilang's face clearly.
But I think he felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
Even if Qiu Zhaohui or even Emperor Jiacheng lost his life, it would not bring back the Shen family.
If he had a choice, Shen Shilang would not be willing to stand on the execution platform.
As long as the Shen family is still alive and well, he doesn't need to stand on the execution platform.
Now, even though there was someone next to him, he still felt deeply lonely standing there.
Su Jinshi sighed quietly.
As the time for execution approached, Qiu Zhaohui was taken to the execution ground.
Su Jinshi expected that Qiu Zhaohui would be tortured beyond recognition, but when he saw Qiu Zhaohui, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Qiu Zhaohui is not just in human form now, it's hard to tell that he is still a human being.
He looked haggard, with the skin on his face tightly attached to his skull, as if there was no flesh in between.
It looks like a skeleton with human skin still on.
The prison uniform he was wearing was covered in blood stains.
The shapes of bones were all visible through the clothes.
Qiu Zhaohui couldn't even walk by himself and was dragged up by someone holding his arms.
When Qiu Zhaohui was tied to the execution vehicle, his sleeves and trouser legs were turned up, revealing the bloody bones underneath.
Li Yuxi and Lu Xiaoyue took a breath.
Su Jinshi had heard from Shen Shilang that there should be a lot of bones under his prison uniform, so he was mentally prepared.
But in order to prevent Li Yuxi and Lu Xiaoyue from mistaking him for a cold-blooded and heartless person, he immediately followed suit and reacted with fear.
Immediately afterwards, five horses were brought up.
The ropes connected to their saddles were used to tie up Qiu Zhaohui's limbs and neck.
Although Qiu Zhaohui felt severe pain all over his body, he even wanted to die quickly.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
But when the time came to die, he still became afraid.
Especially, death is not a pleasant one.
He was to be torn into pieces by five horses.
Qiu Zhaohui held on to his breath, endured the severe pain all over his body, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, I am already a living dead! My body is all rotten flesh, not a single healthy part. Even if I am alive, I will suffer all my life. Your Majesty, why must you sentence me to death!" Qiu Zhaohui shouted hoarsely, "Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Shen Shilang picked up Qiu Zhaohui's evidence and read out the evidence one by one.
However, the stories of the women who went to his temple to pray for children and were defiled by him were concealed.
As for the children born to women, there was no good way to verify the parent-child relationship in this era.
Shen Shilang had no choice but to send someone to the home of the person involved in a low-key manner to explain the matter and also to indicate that the fault was not entirely the woman's.
Some women did it voluntarily, but others were drugged and forced to do it.
Shen Shilang wanted to preserve the reputation of those women and the families involved as much as possible.
It was also clearly ordered that the lives of women and innocent children should not be harmed.
As for whether it is divorce or divorce by amicable consent, it all depends on the attitude of the parties' families.
Therefore, some families divorced their wives, while others divorced, but for the sake of face, they did not make it public.
Shen Shilang also concealed this evidence.
At the same time, the fact that Qiu Zhaohui selected beautiful girls to enter the palace before Emperor Jiacheng was also concealed.
I only picked out the evil things he did among the people.
The people were very angry when they heard this and cursed as they listened.
"Such a wicked person is worthy of begging for mercy!"
"He has been causing harm to the village for more than ten years, and now he has finally received retribution!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Shen Shilang glanced at the sundial and the time had come.
Shen Shilang raised his hand and shouted, "Execute!"
The people on horseback drove their horses forward at the same time, pulling Qiu Zhaohui's limbs and head.
"Ah!" Qiu Zhaohui felt his limbs and neck being pulled violently.
His head was being pulled back forcefully, and in the end it was so painful that he couldn't even scream.
The tongue and eyeballs are sticking out.
His arms were torn off first.
The flesh on the arm still had torn textures and meat residue.
Then the legs and head.
Blood splattered as limbs and heads were torn off.
