Chapter 439 Execution of the Dog Emperor
"Yes."
Catching the porcelain bottle, Yuan Shu pried open the dog emperor's mouth and fed him a few pills. After a while, all the bleeding wounds on his body stopped bleeding. Everyone once again clearly realized how terrifying the effect of Shen Xiangwan's medicine was.
"Yuan Shu, take the guards and search the palace carefully again to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net."
"Yes."
Yuan Shu bowed and retreated. Wei Chengyi glanced at the concubines and the princes and princesses indifferently: "Lock them up and execute them together in three days!"
"Yes."
"no, do not want···"
"King Weiyang, please spare our lives..."
"I don't want to die, no..."
Qingying waved his hand, and the soldiers who remained outside swarmed in. Even though they knew it was impossible, they couldn't help crying and begging for mercy when facing death. But Wei Chengyi had no intention of being soft-hearted. If he was the one who failed today, they would only be more ruthless than him. The alternation of dynasties was bound to be accompanied by bloodshed. They enjoyed the honor bestowed upon them by the Li royal family, but they must also bear the price of the dynasty's demise.
"There should still be quite a few royal relatives outside the palace."
The Li royal family had continued for several decades and had long since flourished. It was estimated that there were tens of thousands of relatives in the imperial city alone, not to mention the vassal kings scattered outside.
"All the royal relatives and large families outside the palace have been controlled. No one can escape. Leave the rest to Qingying and the others. Shall we return to the palace?"
Reaching out and holding her hand, Wei Chengyi turned around with her. He really didn't want to stay in the place where the emperor stayed all year round.
"it is good."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan took a step forward, and Chu Liang and others followed him. No one paid any attention to the cries of begging for mercy. This was reality, and reality was often bloody and cruel.
The palace was still the same as it was when they left that day. There was a seal on the gate and the inside was in a mess due to the house search. Wei Chengyi and his wife had someone clean up the place and moved in. As for the palace, none of them planned to live there. Next, all the royal family members were arrested. Wei Chengyi and his wife personally led people to filter out the major families and the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
Someone among the guards had already awakened the ability to read minds, and his level had risen to a very high level. As long as he was willing, with his body as the center, the voices of everyone within a few hundred meters would be conveyed to him. Wei Chengyi would not kill innocent lives of the major families at will. Anyone who oppressed the people and committed all kinds of evil would not be able to escape. They wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate all the parasites.
Shen Xiangwan was responsible for sorting out the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. There were quite a lot of them, more than 10,000 in number. The people below cleared them out according to the roster in advance, and the few princes and princesses who had sneaked in were pulled out. Then Shen Xiangwan asked the guards who had awakened their mind-reading skills to investigate one by one. Anyone who harbored evil intentions and had taken innocent lives would be killed or expelled. In the end, there were only more than 5,000 people left.
Even so, Shen Xiangwan still felt that there were too many of them, so she decided to send out those palace maids who were of marriageable age and willing to leave the palace. As for the eunuchs, many of them would suffer discrimination and find it difficult to survive after leaving. For those who were willing to leave, Shen Xiangwan allowed them to take the money they had saved and leave, while those who were unwilling to leave stayed in the palace and continued to serve.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Dog Emperor, die!"
"It's all your fault. You all deserve to die!" Three days later, a huge procession of prison vans drove towards the downtown area of the imperial city. The common people who had been freed and could come in and out but were temporarily unable to leave the city were crowded into the prison vans. They had been oppressed for too long. All kinds of stones and rotten eggs were constantly thrown into the prison vans. The emperor, the royal family, and the people from the major families who had committed crimes were all beaten to a bloody mess.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
At the execution ground in the downtown area, the people were excited and the sounds of shouting and killing were deafening. The first to be taken to the execution platform were the dog emperor and his concubines and children. The rest of the royal family members and members of major families were temporarily detained under the platform to watch closely. In order to maintain order, Wei Chengyi specially dispatched 3,000 soldiers.
"My Lord, the princess is here!"
A deep and rich singing suddenly sounded, clearly hitting the eardrums of everyone present. The scene gradually became quiet, and the crowd made way for them. Wei Chengyi and his wife, Chu Liang, Liang Yuting and others stepped over. They all had expressionless and solemn looks, and soon walked to the execution site and sat down.
"The deposed emperor Li Lüqin was incompetent and cruel, unworthy of being a ruler. He killed countless loyal officials in the court, disregarded the lives of the people, and put the people of the world in dire straits, causing great suffering and chaos in the world. Now he is sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and his wives, concubines, and children will all be beheaded in public, in order to rectify the world and give justice to the people of the world."
"it is good!"
Receiving Wei Chengyi's hint, Yan Junling handed a scroll to Qingying, who unfolded it and recited loudly. His voice, mixed with his strong internal strength, was clearly transmitted to every corner of the execution ground, and the people all cheered loudly. Although they were in the imperial city and did not have the same hardship as the people in Binzhou, they were fed up with the oppression of the royal family and those officials, and had long wished that someone would punish them.
"Execution!"
They had come on time, so Wei Chengyi took out a token and threw it out.
"No, spare us..."
"Mother, I'm scared, Mother..."
"Woo woo woo..."
All of a sudden, there was crying on the execution platform, and the emperor, curled up on the ground, could not help trembling. At this moment, he was afraid, he was really afraid, but the executioner did not care whether they were afraid or not. They took out the big knives used for beheading. The emperor was stripped naked in just a few strokes and wrapped tightly in a fishing net.
"Ahh..."
As the executioner raised his knife and slashed, heads rolled to the ground. Those who were crying and shouting in the previous second had their heads torn from their bodies in the next. Screams echoed in every corner of the execution ground. The royal relatives and people from various major families who were watching closely from the audience were shaking like sieves. Some of the less courageous ones even wet their pants or fainted on the spot.
“Hmm…Hmm…”
The well-trained soldiers dragged the bodies away, but the execution was not over yet. On the high platform in the center, the emperor, wrapped in a fishing net, could not speak, but kept shaking his head with tears, because the executioner was cutting the flesh on his body with a knife. After a short while, a pile of bloody meat slices accumulated on the ground.
Wei Chengyi and others on the execution platform all looked on expressionlessly. They had endured for several years, and today they finally got their revenge.
In order to save time, other people were also dragged to the execution platform one after another. On that day, dozens of executioners themselves did not know how many people they had killed. The ground of the execution ground was covered with a thick layer of blood. It was not until dusk that the executioner stabbed the dog emperor's heart with a knife to kill him. At that time, he had almost become a bloody skeleton.
