Half an hour later, the stabbing pain in my head disappeared and I had received all the plot information.
Bei Yutang opened her eyes and saw bracelets and chains attached to her limbs. Beside her were dozens of women dressed similarly. All of them wore thin clothing and had dull expressions.
Bei Yutang noticed that the word "slave" was branded on everyone's forehead.
She is no exception.
This time, the protagonist is a lowly slave, whose value of existence is not even as great as that of an animal.
They were the private property of their masters, without freedom or human rights. Their masters could beat, scold, or even kill them at will. In many aristocratic families, an average of one slave died every day.
The lives of slaves have never been lives, but toys in the hands of the powerful and free labor to create wealth for them.
The original owner of this body, Bei Yutang, was a slave under a nobleman.
This is a world of slavery.
Originally, this land consisted of more than a dozen small countries, but since the emergence of an iron-blooded king, Feng Chi, on the continent, everything has changed.
Feng Chi is the monarch of a remote small country. It is such an inconspicuous country that has brought years of war to this continent.
Five years ago, Feng Chi led his cavalry to sweep across the surrounding countries, gradually devouring each country. Wherever his devilish cavalry went, there would be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
His cavalry was invincible, and even if several major powers joined forces to fight against him, they could not compete with him.
It took him five years to unify the continent.
His principles dictated, "Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish." Whether you were a prince or a commoner, anyone who dared to disobey him would face certain death.
And if this death is a fatal blow, it would definitely be a very, very happy thing.
Usually, those who disobeyed him died in a very cruel way.
During the unification of the continent, a century-old noble patriarch, relying on his status, tried to stop a decision made by him, and was ultimately punished by being executed on the spot. He ordered his guards to carry out the execution in front of all the court officials.
Standing punishment is one of the ten most cruel punishments in Feng Kingdom.
First, a wooden stake is erected on a piece of wood, and the person being punished is hung up and placed on the top of the stake, so that the stake is inserted into the body. Then the person is released and allowed to fall until the stake passes through the mouth and nose, and then he will die.
That day, after the wooden pillar was inserted into the elder's chest, blood flowed out from his back, and his miserable screams echoed throughout the hall.
In order to prevent the wooden pillar from piercing his body, he had to keep standing on tiptoe, but after a while, his legs became weak and he would fall back heavily. Falling back again would only allow the wooden pillar to penetrate deeper.
The intense pain forced him to stand on tiptoe again, and when he could no longer hold on, he fell back down again. This repeated torture not only prevented the victim from dying immediately, but also tortured the victim mentally and physically.
A strong person could only endure this punishment for one day at most, until his body and mind could no longer bear it and the wooden stake would pierce through his body.
That day, the officials present did not dare to look away, let alone close their eyes, no matter how frightened they were.
If they dare to do so, they will be the next to be punished by standing.
