Chapter 133 Lingchi Execution
She turned and urged anxiously: "Dad, please tell me quickly, I don't want to die."
"father!"
Her voice was a little shrill: "My brother was just dragged back, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and my grandmother died without a breath. Do you want to watch your whole family die in front of you?"
When Li Lingcang heard that his old mother had passed away, tears of pain flowed down his cheeks and he closed his eyes in grief: "Mom, I'm sorry!"
His mother should have died of old age and been buried with honor.
But it ended up like this, without even a straw mat.
"mother!"
Speaking of this, Li Ruijin also complained to Li Lingcang:
"Dad, if you had told me earlier, grandma wouldn't have done this."
"Grandma died and that's all, but we're still alive. Don't you care about our lives?"
It was a matter of life and death. Li Ruijin burst into tears and wanted Li Lingcang to tell him what they wanted so that he could live.
Li Lingcang looked at his daughter's flower-like face. She was only fifteen years old.
At such a young age, she is about to wither away in this prison.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but after struggling for a long time, he finally closed his mouth.
Because he said that the whole family could not escape death.
Even if we don't say anything, maybe in the future we can vindicate him or even posthumously honor him.
We're going to die anyway, so why not take a chance?
The glory underground is also glory.
Li Ruijin couldn't believe it. Was this the father who had always doted on her?
Why did he become so unrecognizable and cold and heartless?
She felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen, as if the person in front of her was a stranger she had never met before.
Haha~ Strangers are not so cold-blooded, right?
A shrill scream: "Dad!"
"My daughter doesn't want to die."
But no matter how she shouted, she couldn't shout back a heart harder than stone.
Seeing his father's ruthlessness, Li Ruijin said to Shu Feng with tears streaming down his face:
"Brother Shufeng, Jin'er doesn't know anything."
"It's all my father's fault. If you want to punish someone, just punish her. It has nothing to do with me. I am innocent."
"I like you so much, you won't have the heart to punish me or kill me, right?"
Li Lingcang closed his eyes and pretended not to see his daughter's useless behavior.
If she could escape with her own ability, it would be her good fortune.
Shu Feng's heart was calm: "Since Li Lingcang won't tell me, then this is a serious crime of exterminating your family and clan. You will not be able to escape death!"
The word "death" severely stimulated Li Ruijin's mind. She knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. Her expression was as humble as possible. She was completely different from the proud princess before.
"Brother Shufeng, please save me. You are close to the Regent and you can definitely save me. I beg you."
"As long as you can save me, I will serve you like a slave, even as a concubine, as long as you save me!"
When it comes to being a concubine, she looks seductive and tries to seduce.
Shufeng rubbed his goose bumps and took a few steps back, fearing that his skin would be stained by her snot and tears.
She looked so dignified now, and her seductive actions were really eye-catching.
He can't afford it.
"Torture!"
"Brother Shufeng!"
Her admiration for Shu Feng instantly turned into resentment: "You can't do this to me!"
"I've been so good to you, you can't be ungrateful!"
But Shu Feng had already left and no longer paid any attention to her.
But before leaving, he threw a sentence to Li Lingcang: "Li Lingcang, you are such a ruthless person."
He is a cuckold, right? Bite to death!
It's really great that he watched his entire family suffer without saying anything.
Li Ruijin's screams came from the cell behind her. She should blame herself for having a cruel father.
Watch it if you want, his family members took turns being tortured anyway.
"Pass the order. After all the people in his family have been tortured, torture Li Lingcang. Remember to leave him with one breath."
What it means is that any form of punishment does not matter, as long as the person is not dead.
A day later, Li Lingcang was tortured but still refused to give in. Chi Ming directly ordered him to be executed by slow slicing, which was carried out immediately.
Caishikou was crowded with people. They were not afraid of the cold. They wanted to watch these corrupt officials being cut into pieces one by one, and dying in torture.
Lingchi was mainly used for people who committed heinous crimes. Of the 3,600 cuts, 3,599 had to be made to make him sober, and the last cut was the one that would take his life.
Around Caishikou were the families of the corrupt officials, who were forced to watch how their men were being tortured to death.
Some family members couldn't bear it and fainted. The soldiers then brought hot water and poured it on them without hesitation.
The temperature outside was extremely low, and the warm water instantly cooled down and froze into ice.
The biting cold also woke up those who had fainted.
The executioner used a sharp knife to cut off pieces of flesh from Li Lingcang's body. Some of the brave people around even picked up the pieces of meat, put them in their mouths, and chewed them hard.
I really want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
If there were steamed buns now, they would definitely use them to wipe up all the blood on the ground and eat it.
This is the fate of corrupt officials!
After the execution of the corrupt officials, it will be the turn of their families. However, instead of lingchi (slicing of a thousand pieces of meat) they will be beheaded to give them a quick death.
All other officials and their entire families were executed, but Li Lingcang was an exception. After all, he was involved in treason, so Chi Ming ordered the execution of all nine generations of his clan!
The common people knelt down and shouted: "Long live the Regent! The Regent is wise!"
The Regent acted swiftly and decisively, sentencing all the officials and businessmen involved to death, to give an explanation to the people of Fuzhou and to the world.
The food was distributed, but the people were not as happy as expected because they no longer had a complete family.
It would take at least five or six years to recover.
For Chi Ming, this matter is far from over.
Those tens of thousands of private soldiers had been surrounded. He was going to persuade them to surrender and then divide them into armies in different places in batches.
However, this news was not spread outside, and Li Lingcang did not confess, so he had no way to catch the person behind the scenes.
The private army could only be dealt with quietly.
By the time the person behind the scenes finds out, his job will be done. If he gets anxious, he will definitely take new actions, and then it will be time to catch him.
In addition, the victims trapped in the mountains must be rescued.
I don’t know when it will end.
He looked towards the direction of the capital, reluctant to look back for a long time.
......
In the capital, what happened at the third prince's wedding also became a laughing stock.
In the Hehuan Courtyard of the Bai Mansion, Bai Qinghuan leaned on the beauty couch by the window, reading the storybook with great interest.
As his fingers turned the pages of the book, his sleeves slipped down, revealing a part of his arm.
Her every move was full of charm, and her charming little face with a smile on it stunned Biyun who had just walked in.
"You're drooling?"
Biyun touched her chin in panic: "Where? Where?"
"Hahaha..."
Biyun knew she was deceived and pouted unhappily: "Girl!"
But the feeling of dissatisfaction was not replaced by excitement. It seemed as if his eyes could speak, as if saying, girl, ask me, ask me!
Bai Qinghuan didn't spoil her fun: "What happened to make Biyun so happy?"
Biyun told all the information she had heard without even taking a breath.
Bai Qinghuan was so amused by what he heard that his eyes were filled with smiles: "Did Bai Qingyou really do that?"
