How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

But when he saw that Lu Lingxuan was going to rape his junior sister, Lu Wenzhao almost went crazy!

What is Lingchi?

The Ming Law stipulates that those who fall into the following six situations shall be punished with Ling Chi.

1: Those who conspire to rebel and are treasonous and unethical.

2: Those who kill grandparents, parents, and husband’s grandparents and parents.

Three: Wives and concubines kill their husbands.

4: It is not a capital crime to kill three people in a family, or to kill the person, or to kill the person alive.

Five: Those who kill uncles, parents, aunts, and grandparents.

6: Slaves and hired workers kill their masters or their elders.

Any violation of the above six crimes will result in Ling Chi, and there will be no room for bargaining.

And Ling Chi is divided into many types. According to the severity of the crime, it is divided into eight swords, sixteen swords, thirty-six swords, seventy-two swords, one hundred twenty swords, five hundred swords, and the most cruel three thousand three hundred and five swords. Seventeen knives!

Liu Jin, the great eunuch during the Wuzong period of the Ming Dynasty, was sentenced to death for committing treason. He was mutilated for three days and three nights, with a total of 3,357 knives.

As for junior sister, what is the difference between the crime committed by Liu Jin?

Did he also have to be chopped into pieces more than 3,000 times?

Seeing Lu Lingxuan walking towards Ding Baiying, Lu Wenzhao gasped quickly.

He had the urge to pull out his sword immediately and rush forward to rescue his junior sister at all costs.

But he knew, no!

At this moment, there were not only a large number of Dongchang fans in Jingren Palace, but also the female general Qin Liangyu and her white-armed soldiers.

With so many people taking action at the same time, he had no chance of escaping.

Once captured?

The consequences are extremely serious.

Not only would he not be able to save his junior sister, but he would also be completely exposed, ruining His Highness Prince Xin's several-year plan.

even……

The Ming Dynasty has no chance to change its fate, and the people of the world will still live in dire straits.

Lu Wenzhao gasped and kept comforting himself.

Can't move!

I must not move.

If I move, tens of millions of Ming people will be killed by me.

I will be a sinner in history, and I will always be sorry to my ancestors.

Lu Wenzhao remained expressionless and watched quietly.

But he didn't want to suddenly meet the junior sister's raised eyes. When their eyes met, Lu Wenzhao was shocked again and ran away as if running away.

Ding Baiying learned that she was going to be Lingchi, but she wasn't afraid at all.

This is the sin I deserve.

I once killed the child in Queen Zhang's womb, which was a heinous crime.

Can……

Senior brother, senior brother, why are you afraid to look at me.

Are you filled with fear at this moment?

Don't be afraid, senior brother.

Junior sister would rather die than betray you.

Lu Lingxuan came over and knelt down but did not take off Ding Baiying's clothes.

In fact, logically speaking, the punishment of Lingchi usually starts from the chest, first gouging out the chest flesh with two knives, and then starting from the limbs.

Its humiliating meaning can make the prisoner's life worse than death.

But Lu Lingxuan's purpose was obviously not this, but to make the other party feel remorse and pain in his heart.

She lifted up Ding Baiying's left arm and rolled up her loose sleeves, revealing her white and tender arms.

"Miss Bai Ying, let me ask you again, who is the mastermind behind this, who taught you to assassinate the prince, do you want to tell me...or don't tell me!"

Ding Baiying laughed miserably and closed her eyes tightly.

When Lu Lingxuan saw this, she didn't hesitate anymore. She took a sharp knife and slashed her arm.

"Ah...uh..."

Ding Baiying shed tears of pain and lowered her head in pain.

She wanted to struggle, but she was held down by several female soldiers with white poles, unable to move.

Lu Lingxuan is indeed a ruthless person. She dared to stab an evil tiger in the eye with a knife back then. How can she show mercy to her enemies now?

One slash was followed by another.

He slashed the opponent's arm three times in a row. The white and tender arm immediately started to bleed, and even the white bones were exposed.

After all, she is not a professional executioner.

If it were the executioner, a mouthful of cold wine would be sprayed on, and not a drop of blood would flow out from the victim.

It is said that after three days and three nights, the criminal will never bleed to death.

But even so, the people around him felt their scalps numb and their brows furrowed.

Especially the female general Qin Liangyu.

She has been fighting on the battlefield all her life and has never seen any tragedy.

At this moment, facing the descendant of Xinyou's sword technique and the descendant of Qi's sword, she finally felt unbearable.

Just now, it’s time to give this girl a good time!

It's a pity that when it comes to royal secrets, she doesn't dare to interfere at all.

"Say!"

Lu Lingxuan shouted again: "Who instigated you and brought you into the palace to murder the prince?"

She had no mercy at all, and all she could think of was the cyanotic-faced baby who died tragically just after birth, and the "sir" who was hacked to death with random knives.

Although my husband did not die, who knows how much pain he suffered back then.

At this moment, retribution comes.

Ding Baiying still gritted her teeth and remained silent.

This made Zhu Youxiao almost angry to death.

When Lu Lingxuan was executing the execution, he kept observing Wei Zhongxian's expression, and just wanted to know if Wei Zhongxian did this.

But who knew that women’s teeth are so tough.

This made Zhu Youxiao hate it even more.

Traitor, evil thief, bitch!

Do you really have to be chopped up alive before you are willing to speak out?

Just when Lu Lingxuan was about to take action again.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting beside her, opened her eyes when she smelled the pungent smell of blood.

"Miss Baiying..."

Zhang Yan sighed: "You are quite an affectionate person."

"Let's see. I really don't want to delay you in Jingren Palace."

"Give you another chance to reveal the behind-the-scenes instructions and the accomplices. I can forgive you and let you go, or even let your accomplices leave together. What do you think?"

With that said, Zhang Yan turned her head and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, do you think this arrangement is okay for me?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

Ok?

Spare Bai Ying, even her accomplices?

If this woman wants to enter the palace to assassinate her, she must have accomplices.

Isn't it too merciful for the Queen to let him go so easily?

Zhu Youxiao was about to refuse, but then he thought about it.

Yes.

If you encounter such a hard bone, you may be killed and you won't let go.

No matter how the Six Gentlemen of Donglin were beaten in prison, they still refused to repent.

If I really want to kill him, who will tell me the identity of the mastermind behind it?

Zhu Youxiao could only nod helplessly: "Everything depends on Zitong. As long as the person behind the scenes is revealed, I will forgive them!"

Zhang Yan smiled and looked at Ding Baiying again.

"Miss Baiying, did you hear that? Tell me, name your accomplices, and then the mastermind."

"I and Your Majesty will let you out of the palace immediately without any embarrassment. Don't you still believe the golden words?"

"I……"

Ding Baiying was stunned, and great hope suddenly appeared in her heart.

really?

Queen Zhang, as long as I tell His Highness the letter, can you really let me and my senior brother go and let us return to our hometown?

She didn't know whether it was true or not, but she also understood that in front of so many people, the emperor and the queen would never go back on their words.

Can……

After all, Ding Baiying was not as cunning as his senior brother, so he was confused about what to do.

She raised her weak head and looked at the crowd with dull eyes, searching for her senior brother's gaze.

Lu Wenzhao was standing in the crowd, and his heart moved after hearing Queen Zhang's words.

Unfortunately, thinking of His Highness King Xin and the common people in the world, he finally looked over vaguely.

With just one glance, Ding Baiying's heart sank.

"Zhang Yan, don't even think about it! Don't want me to betray anyone. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bother playing tricks on me!"

Ding Baiying shouted angrily, feeling extremely painful in her heart.

She understood that her senior brother had made a decision.

I decided to sacrifice myself to save the world.

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan raised her head and laughed nervously.

Master, Master!

Did you see it?

There are so many heartless people in the world!

For the sake of so-called justice, you can give up the one you love.

Shameless!

Extremely shameless!

Each one of them is simply selfish to the extreme.

Only you, Master, would rather give up your status as the Number One Scholar, rather than this life, and would rather give up the plans of this life, and resolutely go to save your disciple.

How should your disciple repay you?

Ding Baiying, Ding Baiying.

You really think I don't know your identity.

Over the past few years, Ling Xuan has been out searching for the truth.

In addition, I had several exchanges with Xin Wang Zhu Youjian.

He had already told me that Lu Wenzhao was the spy of Prince Xin.

I just can't believe that Zhu Youjian was involved in the plot to kill me.

Now I finally understand...

All the hustle and bustle is for those people's struggle for power and profit!

And you are all poor cannon fodder, nothing more than stepping stones for those in power.

Zhang Yan stopped laughing and her face turned completely cold.

"Miss Baiying, in that case..."

"I think there's no use keeping you here."

As she said that, she actually looked at someone in the crowd.

Lu Wenzhao.

"Lu Zhenfu, I have heard for a long time that you are the best swordsman in Jinyiwei. How about giving Miss Baiying a happy life with your own hands?"

Swish!

For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Wenzhao.

No one expected that Queen Zhang actually wanted to kill the palace maid Bai Ying and asked the governor Lu Wenzhao to do it.

Lu Wenzhao suddenly raised his head, unable to keep his expressionless face any longer, with fear and panic on his face.

"I……"
