Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 426: The Death of Empress Dowager Cixi (Additional Chapter )

The officer took the child, removed his pants, and pulled out the knife stuck in his belt.

Aim at the target and cut accurately.

With a rub, all the worries of Xingzhen and Yi's child were gone.

A stream of blood spurted out!

The officer tore off a piece of white cloth and bandaged him simply, then kicked the cut thing to the police dog beside him and gave orders.

"Send it to the cleaning room!"

The police dog barked, swallowed the flesh and blood that was kicked in front of it, and wagged its tail excitedly.

Not far away, Xingzhen saw this scene and let out a shrill scream.

"No!"

"You can't do this!"

"My child..."

Originally, Xingzhen was still dreaming that her child would be rescued from prison by people loyal to the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Then he would revive the Qing Dynasty and avenge himself.

Unexpectedly, he was castrated!
In this case, Xingzhen is really completely hopeless!
Because no matter who you are, it is impossible for you to follow a eunuch to conquer the world.

The child lost his little brother, which meant that his political career was over as well.

Xingzhen couldn't accept this.

Upon hearing this, the officer simply tilted his head to glance at Xingzhen and then spoke.

"Don't yell, I'm saving this kid's life."

"This child is the Tartar emperor's offspring. Keeping him alive will only bring disaster. Who knows when the higher-ups will remember and take him to the execution ground to be tortured to death."

"Rather than going to the execution ground in the future, it is better to be stabbed now and serve His Majesty in the palace."

"Maybe this will save my life!"

"Being alive is better than being dead."

The officer was kind-hearted.

I can't bear to see a little kid being sent to the execution ground.

So, I thought of saving his life in this way.

In this way, although the chicken is lost, the life may be saved.

When Xingzhen heard this, she felt like a hen whose throat was strangled, and her voice stopped abruptly.

The resentment and hatred in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Because he understood that what the officer in front of him said was right.

However, there was still attachment in her eyes when she looked at her child.

When the officer saw this, he had no intention of letting Xingzhen say her final goodbye to her child, and just waved his hand casually.

"Quick, take the person away!"

Xingzhen finally stopped resisting and was obediently taken to the prison van.

Then, the prison van set off and headed towards Caishikou.

Xingzhen sat in the prison van with a blank look on her face.

However, in another prison van not far away, Borjigit was still laughing.

It seems as if he doesn’t know what fate he will face next!
Soon, the prison van arrived at Caishikou.

At this time, the execution ground at Caishikou was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.

Countless people were making noise and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

For people in this era who are seriously lacking in entertainment options, beheading is a rare and exciting thing to watch.

Li Yi sat on the viewing stand, watching with interest the noise below and the two prison vans approaching slowly.

The servants around him cast curious glances at him from time to time.

You know, even when Li Yi was skinned alive last time, he just showed up briefly and then returned to the palace.

There was no watching of the execution!
However, although Li Yi was very busy, he still took some time out to watch the execution.

It's really surprising!

As for the reason?
Well, it’s very simple, because the one to be beheaded today is Empress Dowager Cixi.

How could Li Yi not come?

He must see Cixi's head fall to the ground with his own eyes!

If Cixi had not committed very few crimes in her life, it would be hard to justify the use of the torture of lingchi.

Li Yi actually planned to torture Cixi alive.

However, in the end, in order to show his mercy, he only ordered a beheading.

However, Li Yi specifically hinted that a blunt knife should be used!

Cut slowly!
Just as Li Yi was preparing to watch the execution with great interest, Li Liang came to Li Yi with the sound of footsteps, leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Hearing this, Li Yi frowned at first, then nodded slightly.

"That's fine!"

"Send him to the cleaning room!"

Originally, Li Yi did not give any specific instructions on how to deal with Xingzhen's child, but he was a little undecided.

If we don't kill him, we'll leave hidden dangers.

If I were to kill it, it was too small and I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Now it just so happens that someone has helped him make a decision.

And the decision is reasonable!
Therefore, Li Yi agreed.

……

Soon, the prison van arrived outside the execution ground.

The car door opened, and a group of Qing remnants led by Xingzhen and Borjigit were escorted out of the car.

Then he was taken to the execution ground!

Xingzhen was forced to kneel in front of a wooden stake with her head resting on it.

There are black bloodstains on this piece of wood. I wonder how many heads have been chopped off on it.

As soon as she got close, a fishy smell of blood hit her nose, making Xingzhen frown subconsciously.

But in the end, she just accepted her fate and did nothing.

The official in charge of the execution began to read out Xingzhen's crimes.

However, Xingzhen did not listen. She just sat there quietly and did nothing.

In the cold weather and the smell of blood, he was enjoying his last moments.

Finally, the executioner's noise ended.

Xingzhen closed her eyes and waited for death!

"cut!"

A loud shout was heard, and a relieved smile appeared on Xingzhen's lips.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain.

With one cut, his head was not cut off.

Instead, there was a cracking sound from the cervical vertebra, followed by a sharp pain.

"what……"

Xingzhen let out a scream.

hysteria!

But then, the second knife came down.

There was another crisp sound, and Xingzhen's neck was broken even more severely.

The third knife, the fourth knife, the fifth knife...

The executioner chopped more than ten times before Xingzhen's head finally fell off.

Blood spurts!

At this moment, the relief that had just appeared on her face had disappeared, and was replaced by the distortion and hideousness of severe pain.

At some point, snow started falling from the sky.

Batches of prisoners were taken to the execution ground and their heads were chopped off one by one.

As heads fell to the ground one by one, blood was spilled all over the execution ground.

The snowflakes that fell on the ground were quickly dyed red by the blood.

Li Yi withdrew his gaze from the execution ground and turned to speak.

"Let's prepare to go back to the Old Summer Palace!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch Wang Zhong who was serving beside him spoke immediately.

"Well, I understand!"

After saying this, he turned around and went downstairs to give instructions and make preparations.

Li Yizi set out from Caishikou, preparing to return to the Old Summer Palace.

But at this moment, Li Liang came to Li Yi again and said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, something happened in North Korea!"

"This autumn, a Spanish ship landed on Janggodo Island in Hongcheong Province, North Korea, fired guns and cannons, looted homes, and injured civilians. Then it went ashore to rob people in the Fengchuan area of ​​Hwanghae Province."

"The Korean side sent troops to attack and try to drive out the bandits, but was defeated and suffered heavy losses."

"King Yi Bian of Korea sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help, hoping that the Tang Dynasty, as the suzerain state, could punish Spain and uphold justice for Korea..."
