After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

At the beginning of November, the first snow fell heavily, and the emperor's edict on the treatment of everyone in Changning Palace was also issued at this time.

The emperor not only ordered Mr. Fu from the Secretariat to go to the Tianlao to announce the edict, but he also ordered people to write the contents of the edict in vernacular Chinese and post it on the bulletin boards of government offices in various places so that everyone in the world would know about it.

The decree contains three contents:

First: strip him of his hereditary title as Prince Changning, demote him to a commoner, and give him twenty lashes. After the execution, he will be immediately sent to the imperial mausoleum and will not be allowed to leave for the rest of his life. Half of his assets will be confiscated, and the other half will be deposited in the name of Princess Yucheng to be returned to him when Li Yun comes of age.

Second: Wang Wan, the governor of Henan, colluded with Prime Minister Dangxiang and was suspected of plotting rebellion. His entire clan was exterminated and the rest of his clan was punished. Men over eight years old were exiled and girls over eight years old were sent to the Jiaofangsi. The rest of the children were taken as slaves and all their property was confiscated.

Thirdly, Wang, the daughter of Wang Wan, plotted to murder the princess and brought chaos to the empress's palace. She was sentenced to death by slicing and was executed at Caishikou three days later as a warning to others.

During the three days of Wang's execution, Su Qinchao did not personally accompany Li Yun to watch the execution due to his mission, but fortunately, Li Wu was there.

At this moment, the two of them were standing close together, holding hands and watching closely. The show on stage had just begun.

The Lingchi punishment of the Wu Dynasty was slightly modified compared to the previous dynasties. Previously, the prisoner had to be stripped of his clothes to show his dignity as an insult.

However, Wu Lizong Li Lingyue believed that although this method seemed to trample on the dignity of the prisoners, it also hurt the eyes of innocent people, especially children, so it was changed to start from the calves, leaving the private parts for the end.

Therefore, Wang was seen with her mouth stuffed with coarse cloth and her eyes full of fear, being tied to the rack by two jailers.

Following the order from the supervising officer, the executioner cut off Wang's right trouser leg at the knee, and then used a knife as thin as a cicada's wing to quickly cut off the flesh on her calf piece by piece.

As she cut the vegetables, she placed them on the plate in front of her, stacking them beautifully.

The executioner's knife skills were superb. Before the blood from the first piece of flesh cut off had time to spill out, the next piece had already fallen into the plate.

But after half a minute, the calf of Wang's right leg had been cut to almost the skeleton, and not much blood had splashed out.

"If Yun'er is scared, let your sister help you!" Li Wu lowered her head and looked at Li Yun with red eyes gently.

"I'm not afraid!" Li Yun shook his head. What was there to be afraid of when he saw the man who murdered his mother being punished?

Unfortunately, Aunt Yucheng only granted him one day off, so he couldn't see her for three days and see her die with his own eyes.

(Lingchi in ancient times usually lasted three days)

"I heard that you were there to see your father off when he was sent to the imperial mausoleum yesterday?" Li Wu turned her head slightly as she watched Wang's calf on the stage gradually becoming hollowed out.

When guarding the border, we usually chop down the enemies like cutting melons and vegetables. But now, after seeing this, I feel a little sick.

But she was not the only one. The people around who were watching the fun had already left, and gradually only the siblings were left standing there.

"Well, it's not really a farewell. I just went to the imperial mausoleum to visit my mother and take a look at his miserable condition." Li Yun stared at Wang with a cold tone.

...

"Hmm~" After watching the execution that night, Li Wu returned to Su's house. Looking at the spicy fried pork slices on the dining table, she immediately covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.

"What's wrong with her?" Yunniang held up her chopsticks, confused.

"Today is the day of Wang's execution. Maybe she was disgusted." Su Qinchao shook his head and put two chopsticks in Yunniang's bowl before ordering someone to take it away.

"Ask the kitchen to make a few more vegetarian dishes without soy sauce." Considering that Li Wu might not be able to eat it now, Su Qinchao added:

"Well, cook another bowl of eight-treasure porridge for later use."

Besides, Yunniang is getting older now, so if she feels hungry at night, this is just the right thing to do.
