I opened the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 185: Iron Li Tianhua
The beautiful woman who was entangled with Li Tianhua also opened her bloody mouth, and her sharp teeth flashed coldly: "Li Tianhua, do you think wealth can save your soul?" Her voice was like a sharp whistle, piercing Li Tianhua's eardrums.
Li Tianhua was horrified: "No, this is not true, this is not true!"
The beautiful woman glared at him, her eyes full of hatred and anger, and she shouted, "Li Tianhua, you shameless fellow! You are the current vice minister, a third-rank official, and you should have served the court loyally and repaid the emperor's great grace. But you became an accomplice to the evil monk Yao Guangxiao, who, for your own selfish desires, attempted to overthrow the Yongle Dynasty! Where do you place the peace of the country and the well-being of the people? What you did is simply outrageous!
You enjoy the high position and generous salary given by the court, but you do not think about serving the country and the people, but collude with treacherous people. The Yongle Dynasty was just established, and there was a lot of work to be done. It needed loyal ministers and good generals to assist the king, stabilize the government, and benefit the people. But you went against the grain and tried to destroy this hard-won peace and prosperity. Your greed and ambition blinded your eyes and made you forget your responsibilities and mission.
Not only did you betray the court, you were also inhumane. Just because you and your younger brother-in-law Xiang Tian had some unpleasantness during a banquet, you were so cruel that you teamed up with your third brother-in-law, the young chief escort Wang Tianheng of the Xiongqi Escort Agency, and set fire to and killed more than a hundred people in the family of your father-in-law Niu Ren!
That's more than a hundred lives. What crime have they committed? You are so cruel and vicious. It's unforgivable!
That night, flames shot up to the sky and screams resounded through the air. Innocent people struggled in the sea of fire, but their cries for help were drowned out by your cruelty.
The elderly, children, and women, all of them have become victims of your selfish desires. Have you ever felt a trace of compassion or guilt? Is there no warmth of humanity in your heart?
Li Tianhua was extremely frightened, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He found himself in front of a huge oil pan, with hot oil boiling in the pan, billowing thick smoke, and a pungent smell filling the entire space.
"Li Tianhua, this is the punishment you deserve!" The beautiful woman's voice sounded in his ears again, full of coldness and determination.
Li Tianhua wanted to struggle and escape, but found that his body was completely out of control, as if an invisible force was pushing him towards the terrible oil pan.
He watched helplessly as his feet gradually approached the edge of the frying pan, the scorching heat rushed towards him, burning his skin. His face was covered with tears of fear and despair, and he shouted loudly: "Help! Spare me!"
However, no one would respond to his plea for mercy. His feet finally stepped into the frying pan, and instantly, he felt a sharp pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. The hot oil quickly submerged his calves, and his skin instantly turned black, making a "sizzling" sound, and a burning smell filled the air.
Li Tianhua screamed in pain, his body trembling constantly, but the force held him firmly in the oil pan, making it impossible for him to break free. His legs had completely lost feeling, and his muscles and bones were gradually melting under the high temperature.
As his body continued to sink, the hot oil had already covered his waist. His internal organs seemed to be burning in a raging fire, and he was almost fainting from the pain. But every time he was about to lose consciousness, he would be awakened by a mysterious force, forcing him to continue to endure this endless torture.
"You sinner, feel the pain! This is the price you pay for your crimes!" The beautiful woman's voice echoed in his ears like a death spell.
Li Tianhua's eyes were full of bloodshot, and his eyeballs were almost bulging out of his sockets. His throat was hoarse, and he could only make faint whimpers. His upper body was gradually swallowed by the hot oil, and his arms, shoulders, chest... every inch of skin was suffering extreme torture.
During this long period of pain, Li Tianhua began to reflect on his life. He remembered his greed, selfishness, and cruelty, and the innocent lives he had harmed. He regretted it endlessly, and his heart was filled with endless remorse and self-blame.
"If I could do it again, I would never make the same mistake again..." he muttered to himself, but it was too late.
Li Tianhua was in the frying pan, his face was unrecognizable, his body was burnt beyond human form, but the pain did not stop, as if it would torture his sinful soul forever.
Before he could recover from the nightmare of being thrown into the frying pan, Li Tianhua fell into another horrific dream - falling into a sea of fire.
All around was a sea of fire, the flames shot up into the sky, as if to engulf the entire sky. The scorching heat made the air distorted, and Li Tianhua was in it, feeling difficult to breathe, and his skin was burned painfully.
"Li Tianhua, this sea of fire is prepared for you!" The beautiful woman's voice came again, full of anger and hatred.
Li Tianhua looked around in horror, trying to find a way out, but the sea of fire was endless and there was no possibility of escape. The flames kept approaching him, and he could feel the terrible heat wave coming towards him.
His clothes were instantly ignited, and the flames quickly spread to his entire body. He rolled on the ground in pain, trying to put out the flames on his body, but to no avail. Every time he rolled, he got closer to the depths of the sea of fire.
Wood and debris in the sea of fire kept falling and hitting him. The burned parts of his body began to bleed, but as soon as the blood flowed out, it was evaporated by the high temperature.
Li Tianhua's eyes were so smoked that he could hardly open them. Tears and sweat mixed together and flowed down his cheeks. His throat was so dry that it was smoking, and he cried out hoarsely, "Save me! I know I was wrong!"
However, his cries were drowned out by the roar of the sea of fire. The flames grew more and more intense, as if they were the hands of countless demons, tightly grasping him, not giving him the slightest chance to breathe.
In this endless pain, Li Tianhua recalled the scene in which he had set fire to and killed his father-in-law's family. The screams of those innocent people in the sea of fire seemed to ring in his ears again, filling his heart with deep guilt and fear.
"This is retribution!" he cried in despair.
The temperature in the sea of fire was getting higher and higher, and Li Tianhua's consciousness gradually became blurred. He felt that his body no longer belonged to him, as if he was about to be completely melted by this terrible sea of fire.
But at the moment when he was about to lose consciousness, he seemed to see the faces of those people he had killed, their eyes full of resentment and anger.
"Li Tianhua, you will never escape punishment!" Their voices echoed in his mind.
Having just escaped from the sea of fire, Li Tianhua fell into a horrifying dream of walking across a mountain of knives.
Before my eyes was a towering mountain of swords, with extremely sharp blades flashing a cold light. The path on the mountain of swords was narrow and steep, and there was a gloomy atmosphere all around.
"Li Tianhua, step onto this mountain of swords and atone for your crimes!" The beautiful woman's voice sounded in his ears like a ghost.
Li Tianhua looked at the densely packed blades, his legs weakened, and he dared not take a step. But an invisible force pushed him, forcing him to walk towards the mountain of blades.
He carefully raised his foot and stepped on the first blade. Instantly, blood gushed out and severe pain spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but howl in pain, but he didn't dare to stop.
With every step he took, the blade would dig deep into his soles, staining the road red with blood. His hands were also scratched by the blade, and the bones of his fingers were clearly visible.
Li Tianhua climbed up with great difficulty, his sweat and blood mixed together and dripped onto the mountain of knives. His body was already riddled with holes, but the strength still drove him forward.
As he climbed, he recalled his crimes of colluding with treacherous people and betraying the court. All those unscrupulous actions for the sake of profit have now turned into pain on this mountain of knives.
"I deserved it..." he muttered to himself.
The slope of the knife mountain became steeper and steeper, and Li Tianhua almost had to crawl forward. The sharp blades cut his knees and thighs, and every movement brought heart-wrenching pain.
When he finally climbed to the top of the knife mountain, a gust of wind blew and almost blew him down. He held the blade tightly, not daring to relax at all.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, there was a bottomless abyss. Li Tianhua was filled with fear and despair, but he knew that he had no way out.
He closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and slid down slowly. The blade cut across his body, leaving deep wounds.
Finally, Li Tianhua fell to the bottom of the knife mountain. He lay on the ground, dying, his body in tatters.
After experiencing the nightmares of being thrown into an oil pan, entering a sea of fire and walking across a mountain of knives, Li Tianhua had not yet recovered from the endless fear and pain, and fell into an even more horrifying dream - being slaughtered like a fat pig.
Li Tianhua found himself in a dark, damp, bloody slaughterhouse, surrounded by thick fog, and the cold walls were covered with rusty slaughter tools, flashing a cold and eerie light.
"Li Tianhua, this is your end!" The beautiful woman's voice rang out in this horrible atmosphere, like the verdict of hell.
Li Tianhua looked around in horror. His body became abnormally fat and his movements were slow. Before he could react, several hideous-looking butchers rushed over, their sturdy arms with bulging veins and their hands tightly holding sharp butcher knives.
The butchers mercilessly pressed Li Tianhua down on the cold slaughter table. He struggled desperately, but to no avail. His eyes were filled with despair and fear, and he shouted loudly: "Let me go! Spare me!" But his pleas for mercy were drowned out by the butchers' shouts.
A butcher skillfully picked up a huge rope and tied Li Tianhua's limbs tightly, making him unable to move at all. Li Tianhua felt his breathing become rapid and his heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Another butcher picked up a sharp long knife and began to sharpen it on the grindstone. The sharp sound of the blade rubbing against the grindstone was like the prelude to death, piercing Li Tianhua's eardrums.
"No! Don't!" Li Tianhua screamed at the top of his lungs, tears and snot flowing freely.
However, the butchers turned a blind eye to his fear. After sharpening his knife, the butcher walked up to Li Tianhua, his cold eyes showing no mercy. He raised his long knife and shook it in front of Li Tianhua's eyes. The cold light reflected from the blade almost made Li Tianhua faint.
Then, the butcher mercilessly stabbed Li Tianhua's throat with his long knife. Instantly, blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing on the slaughter table and the butchers. Li Tianhua's screams resounded throughout the slaughterhouse, but the butchers showed no mercy and continued to slaughter him cruelly.
They cut open Li Tianhua's belly with force, and his internal organs poured out, and the smell of blood filled the air. Li Tianhua's consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt his life slipping away bit by bit, and his heart was filled with endless regret and fear.
"Why did I end up like this? I shouldn't..." His voice became weaker and weaker.
The butchers skillfully disassembled Li Tianhua's body, limbs, head, torso, and every part was ruthlessly processed. The power and wealth he once pursued became meaningless at this moment.
During this painful process, Li Tianhua seemed to see the faces of those who had been persecuted by him, laughing at him and cursing him.
"This is the retribution you deserve, Li Tianhua!"
Li Tianhua's soul seemed to have left his body, floating in the air, looking at his horrible corpse. He recalled all the evil deeds he had done in the past, how he had done whatever it took for his own selfish desires and hurt countless innocent lives.
"If I could start over again, I would definitely be a good person..." His soul made its final confession.
But it was too late, his sins were too grave to be forgiven. Li Tianhua's soul gradually dissipated in this bloody slaughterhouse, and disappeared forever in the endless darkness.
"Your sins can never be erased..." The beautiful woman's voice sounded again, echoing in Li Tianhua's ears.
Moreover, you, a shameless thing, actually had an affair with the current queen! You are not ashamed, but proud of it, and even boasted to Wang Tianheng that the queen counted the hairs on your mouth. Your evil deeds of defiling the palace are a great blasphemy to the dignity of the royal family and a wanton trampling of ethics and morality.
Your behavior has brought shame to the entire family and made the world laugh at you. Your name will forever be engraved on the pillar of shame, and you will be a sinner through the ages. Your sin is so grave that it cannot be forgiven.
Li Tianhua, you are now trapped in this horrible dream, which is God's punishment for you. You have committed many crimes and cannot escape the judgment of justice. You will spend the rest of your life in endless fear and regret, and pay a heavy price for the heinous crimes you have committed!
In this world, karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable. Your actions will eventually bring disaster upon yourself. Your wealth and power cannot save your dirty soul. You thought you could get away with it and enjoy wealth and glory, but you didn't know that you had already embarked on a path of no return.
Your sins are like heavy shackles that bind your soul tightly. Your conscience has long been devoured by greed and desire, leaving behind only a walking corpse.
Li Tianhua, think carefully, is everything you pursue really worth it? For a momentary selfish desire, you have destroyed the happiness of countless people and also ruined your own life. Now, you are trembling in fear, this is what you deserve!
You thought you could hide your crime from the world, but you didn't know that the law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. Your crime has been known to the world, and your bad name will be passed down forever. Your family is disgraced because of you, and your descendants will always bear your shame.
Li Tianhua, in the face of all this, what else do you have to say? How can you still live in this world with dignity? "
