C5 Skinning and Painting
This was the most insidious and vicious punishment and was not allowed to be used in the court. However, there was such a special request on the board. Of course, there would still be people coming forward, right?
"Ah …"
"Ah …"
"Ah …"
His throat turned hoarse and his tears dried up. That night, only the mournful cries of a female ghost could be heard from inside the prison. Those who remained in the prison were so shocked that they began to tremble in their nightmares.
The twilight red as blood, yet another three days had passed.
In the innermost room of the Celestial Prison, there was a female prisoner.
For the past three days, she had been the most miserable one. Her clothes were in a mess, her body was covered in blood, and it was hard to see her face. The blood at the corner of her mouth was frozen, her hair was like a chicken's nest, her eyes were closed, and there was only one breath left in her mouth.
The wetness on the ground was either blood or water, and it looked extremely sticky.
"Boss, this woman shouldn't be able to live past tonight, right?"
A little jailer said, holding a small tray with many bottles and jars on it.
"Hmph, you don't need to say that. Can you tell just by looking?" The leader didn't care and called the people behind him to come forward. He picked up the woman and ordered someone to carry a wooden bucket over and throw her in.
"Boss, what are we doing?" The little jailer was puzzled.
The person at the front gouged him out fiercely, "Why ask so much? It's better to not know than to know."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and attack. The authorities said that you must wash this woman clean from head to toe. Don't see any dirt on her. It will be easier to handle the situation later."
Then the two of them walked out of the cell. The little jailer was still puzzled and asked softly, "Boss, what on earth is this woman up there for? She has been suffering like this for the past few days, but now she's suddenly improved so much. That woman is on the verge of death and is about to leave, how can she still have the strength to enjoy herself? "
"What the f * * k do you know!? Come here, I'll tell you. "
The jailer put his ear close to the jailer's ear and whispered a few words into his ear. The jailer's eyes widened in fear as he listened to the jailer's words. The jailer's fear had not subsided even after the boss left the room. His back was covered with sweat.
"The most venomous woman's heart, the most venomous woman's heart." His mouth was trembling as he muttered to himself.
The few old women who followed after her quickly took action. They very quickly stripped the woman of her clothes, sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder into the water, and also smeared a lot of things on the woman's body. Then, his hands moved without pity, as if what was inside the barrel was not a person, but an item. He forcefully rubbed it until it was clean.
Not long after, the woman's fair skin was scrubbed red. The other woman saw this and quickly stopped her, "You still have to deal with it later. Why don't you go a little softer? If your skin is red, you'll be dissatisfied."
Upon hearing about that, the others all turned pale, but they quickly recovered. The movements of the woman who had been heavy a moment ago had become much lighter.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Even the fishes on the chopping block were able to jump up and down a few times before they died, but she was unable to even jump up and down before she died.
"I think it's cleaned up. It's about time." An old woman spoke. It was obvious that she was the most capable one among them. After a careful inspection, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Find a piece of silk and roll them up."
The girl was gently wrapped up by the silk cloth with force s, and at this moment, the woman's eyes suddenly opened wide, wide open, as if her eyes revealed the greatest amount of hatred, that hatred could cause anyone's heart to tremble.
"Oh no, he's already dead." A woman screamed, her eyes wide open, but she was no longer angry.
The other woman walked up and touched the artery on the woman's neck to check her breath. She turned her head to look at the other women and found that they were really dead. This woman.
"It's good if he died, but it's better if he died sooner or later. Otherwise, he might experience the pain of having his bones ripped off. That's what you call living a life worse than death!"
The leading woman said a few words before putting her hands together in front of her chest. Then, she silently recited the words' Amitabha Amitabha '.
When the other wives saw the girl's wide-open eyes, their scalps turned numb for a moment, as if that person had come back to life and wanted to take their lives. They hurriedly followed their leader's lead grandma to recite the words' Amitabha 'and' Amitabha '.
After the leading woman finished reciting the Sutra of Exhaustion, she walked in front of the woman, preparing to gently close the woman's wide eyes. Her eyes were wide open, filled with a venomous resentment, causing people to be unable to catch their breath.
However, after doing this a few times, his widened eyes just couldn't close. His eyes seemed to tear apart as he stared fixedly at the woman in front of him, as if he was looking for her life. His eyes, on the other hand, slowly started to change color, from a light red to a dark red, and finally, his pupils turned blood-red.
"Putong!" The leader of the group knelt on the ground as she kept shouting, "Spare me, please spare me!"
When had the other wives ever seen such a scene? They were all scared to the point of peeing their pants as they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Resisting the fear in her heart, the leading woman didn't dare to be careless again. She had no choice but to do this job.
It was a sight rarely seen in a hundred years. Her family had eaten this meal for generations, and it must have been extremely dangerous for her to have eyes that were bloodshot. It was the first time she had seen such a thing in her life. He knew that this situation was something he had seen in the notes his grandfather had left behind. Before one died, if one did not close their eyes and reveal their blood-red eyes, it would definitely be a great sign. This woman's anger was very strong. If she didn't deal with it cleanly, it would cause a disaster.
The cleanest way was to cremate them. It was best to burn them to the point where not even a single strand of hair remained. Otherwise, the woman's remnants would be the most ominous and would easily lead to disaster. However, the higher ups' demands were so cruel. No matter what this woman did, for the higher ups to come up with such a method, it was really too preposterous.
She would first try to explain it to the higher-ups, but the chances weren't high. When would those who held high positions ever listen to those who held low statuses like them? However, she had to take the risk. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable when the time came.
Kneeling on the ground, the woman in the lead still didn't dare to stand up and face the woman's bloodshot eyes. She could only beg again and again: "Miss, Miss, there is always a debt to be paid. If you have any grievances, don't blame it on us, we are also forced to be helpless. We beg Miss, please let us go."
"What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and come out when you're done."
"Oh, good." The few women quickly responded and got up from the ground, but each of their legs were too weak to even look at the woman wrapped in a silk cloth, let alone the pair of eyes that could cause nightmares.
Before she left, the leading woman forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart and covered the woman's eyes with a handkerchief.
When the first wife went out, she wanted to say something to the leader, but was pushed aside before she could even get close. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move anymore. Those people were all wearing swords and had high grade medallions. They were all people from the imperial palace. Killing one was like chopping a piece of turnip. She did not dare to go forward because everything was important to her life.
That evening, a group of imperial guards entered the palace with a carriage in tow. No one knew what was inside the carriage.
That night, in a remote room in the palace, a large group of people had gathered. That night, in a remote room in the palace, a large group of people had gathered that had been gathered in a strange room. Only when the pots of blood were poured into the sewers did the stench linger.
At noon, in the magnificent palace, the palace walls rose high.
Within a palace in the East Palace of the crown prince's residence, a girl dressed in noble clothing was lying on a long collapse. She was surrounded by several palace maids.
Someone came in to report, and the woman motioned for someone to come in.
"How's it going?"
"Empress, everything is progressing smoothly. After days and nights of craftsmen's work, we have already made a bone fan, a painting of the Painting Sect, and a musical drum."
"Good, this is great. Show it to me."
"Servant obeys."
After a while, all three items were presented. The luxurious woman walked forward and began to play with the bone fan in her hand. The bone fan felt really comfortable touching it.
My Third Royal Sister, look, this is what happens when you fight with me. Didn't you want to spend the rest of your life with your husband? Fine, I'll help you. See how nice this sister of mine is to you? You should thank me for giving you this chance, right?
"Give this bone fan to His Highness the crown prince as a gift from me."
Walking up to the drum, the woman nodded and looked at the drum with admiration. This drum was the most special drum in the world. He tapped on it a few times, "Dong, dong, dong". Wow, it was so pleasant to listen to!
Second Royal Sister, since you like singing and dancing so much, just give it to her. Now, Third Royal Sister, you can stay with your sister for the rest of your life. Haha.
"Someone, give this drum to me, Second Royal Sister. If she asks, tell her to come and see me by herself."
The servants obeyed.
As for the rest of the painting, of course he would keep it for himself. The woman walked forward and caressed the lines on the surface of the stone with her hand. They were made from the skin of a face, and the marks on the stone were still there.
Touching the damaged skin like a priceless treasure, her skin was indeed as good as ever. It was a pity that it could only be used as a tool for her painting.
