After saying that, his subordinates actually took out an imperial edict.

Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing the emperor.

For a moment, everyone present knelt down with the prefect.

After Ruoyin knelt down, she found that the Fourth Master was still standing beside her.

So he pulled his sleeve and let him kneel down with her.

Otherwise, everyone would kneel down and he wouldn't kneel down. What's the matter?

Anyway, it's just my own kneeling, so it's nothing.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the man holding the imperial edict shouting: "The emperor Fengtian Chengyun ordered that after the court secretly reviewed the matter of stolen and sold the issue in Suzhou, Yu Hongtu's wife and concubine colluded with each other throughout the whole process, and had nothing to do with Yu Hongtu. The incident had a great impact this time. Mrs. Yu Hongtu and Lin needed to be executed in half and the beheaded immediately!"

"Cheating candidates, as well as subordinates, exiled to Ningguta, will always deprive them of their reference qualifications."

"Yu Hongtu is not strict in managing his family. After this provincial examination is over, he will be assigned to the Beijing Invigilator Examination and will redeem his sins!"

"In addition, local academic and academicians in Suzhou must reset the imperial examination questions and retake the examination as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Ruoyin's eyes turned slightly.

It seems that the Fourth Master had ordered the court to prepare an imperial edict when he was checking Yu Hongtu.

Otherwise, the prefect would not have come so coincidental.

Compared to what Ruoyin cares about, the candidates care about continuing the subject exam.

As for Yu Hongtu, it sounds like a punishment, but in fact it is a reward.

The Fourth Master has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments.

If Yu Hongtu is not a good person, the outcome will definitely be miserable.

But since Yu Hongtu is a clean official, he will naturally not disappoint his loyal ministers.

Otherwise, who would be willing to serve the court, everyone would be the ungrateful wolf.

At this moment, Yu Hongtu knocked his head to the ground and did not lift it up for a long time.

When he raised his head, his bright eyes were red.

He said in a thick and trembling voice: "I thank you for your kindness!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times.

Because this imperial edict saved his life and made him feel that everything he had done over the years was worth it.

Since the imperial edict said that Yu Hongtu was wronged, naturally no one dared to say anything more.

But Mrs. Yu and Lin cried and shouted that they were wronged and asked for forgiveness.

Originally, the prefect said that the magistrate asked for the death of Qiu Hou.

Now that the imperial edict is now executed, the execution of the Decision of the Decision.

So, the subordinates of the prefect took the two of them outside the Gongyuan.

As early as when he received the imperial edict, the prefect came with his vain.

At this moment, someone carried Mrs. Yu and Lin to the husk bed and lay down.

The two women who had lived a better life were instantly fish and meat between the knife and the chopping board.

"Execution!" With the order from the prefect, Li Zi cut off the guillotine with one blow.

Mrs. Yu and Lin's bodies were immediately divided into two halves.

The bright red blood dyed the part they separated red.

A large pool of blood was also sprayed on his waist.

Some internal organs in the body were presented to everyone.

It's simply terrible and shocking!

It seemed as if there was a blood-red line that separated their bodies alive.

But even so, their limbs were still moving.

It's just because of the pain, it moves slowly.

Seeing this, Ruoyin couldn't help but frown.

Beheading in the Qing Dynasty was one of the more cruel ways to punish death.

Cut it into two or more sections from the prisoner's waist.

The purpose is to prolong the time for the criminal to die and increase his pain.

Generally, it is hemorrhagic shock in the end.

Because the main organ of a person is in the upper body.

After being cut from the waist twice, I will still be awake and it will take a long time to die.

In this case, in order not to make the criminal suffer too much, many families will make some money to the dealer, which is considered a "fee".

When the burying man was executed, he could use a knife from the above part to make the prisoner leave more easily.

If there is no fee, or if someone wants the criminal to suffer more, the executioner will take a knife from the lower part.

In this way, the inmate will die very slowly. After one knife, the upper half will still be alive, and it will take a long time to completely end your life.

What's more, it is extremely cruel to move the upper half of the person who was cut in half to a tung oil plate, so that the blood cannot be released, which can make the prisoner last for two or three more hours without death.

Obviously, Mrs. Yu and Lin were executed too suddenly and had no time to pay the fees.

Besides, their family members are Yu Hongtu.

Then Yu Hongtu was originally a clean person and disdained to do such a bribery.

In addition, one of them hurts Yu Hongtu a lot, and the other cuckolds Yu Hongtu, it would be strange if Yu Hongtu thinks about them.

This caused them to feel so painful that they kept rolling on the slaughter bed.

Miss Yu looked at Mrs. Yu's painful appearance and she had already cried to tears. She couldn't stand or sit steadily.

Instead, he leaned obliquely in the maid's arms, crying as if he was about to die.

I don’t know how long Mrs. Yu struggled, but Lin next to her had long been exhausted, while Mrs. Yu’s body was still moving.

It was probably the pain that it was so extreme that Mrs. Yu's fingers were dipped in the blood on her waist and wrote several words on the ground.

The slower you write it to the end.

Ruoyin stood in the first row. She looked carefully and realized that Mrs. Yu had written seven words "sad".

It is estimated that when writing, Mrs. Yu's last energy has been exhausted.

Within a few seconds after writing, this person stared at him and didn't move.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyin couldn't help but say, "It's really a miserable woman."

Although Mrs. Yu took more than tens of thousands of taels of silver on her back.

But this cut is too cruel.

Mrs. Yu executed with Lin again.

Lin died early.

But Mrs. Yu's body was broken into two pieces, but she had tortured for more than half an hour. How could it not be miserable?

The Fourth Master beside him was watching all this calmly without blinking.

Because this halving has been used for more than two thousand years.

He had never seen such scenes in the Forbidden City before, so there was nothing strange about it.

Now that I heard the unconscious emotion of the woman beside me, I realized it and put it on her waist.

He attached himself to her ear, and in a voice that only two people could hear, he said in a low voice: "Stop looking, if you feel cruel, at worst, I will issue an order to abolish it and behead it."

"..." When Ruoyin heard this sentence, she always felt that history was surprisingly similar, but also different.

In history, it was Mrs. Yu and Lin who ruined Yu Hongtu's reputation.

But in the end, Yu Hongtu was cut in half.

And it is Yu Hongtu who wrote the seven miserable words.

But in this life, Yu Hongtu is rewarded with good people.

Who doesn't know that although the imperial edict asked him to atone for his sins?

It can be transferred to Beijing to Beijing, but it is actually a promotion.

After Mrs. Yu was executed, Ruoyin and the Fourth Master returned to the inn in a carriage.

The Fourth Master said something and returned to the inn and wrote a letter to the capital.

The letter talks about many political affairs.
