In a long sentence by the officials of the Criminal Department, the fate of this group of people was decided.

King Pan and King Ze, who enjoyed the highest level of treatment, were sentenced to Ling Chi.

King Yi, Shangguan Mingwen, and Di Lao were sentenced to be buried alive.

The rest of the rebel officials and generals were either beheaded or torn apart, and were punished to varying degrees of punishment anyway according to their culpability and official position.

For example, King Pan and King Ze, although they were both punished by Ling Chi, but they stipulated that at least 1,000 knives should be cut on King Pan, and at least 500 knives should be cut on King Ze.

Originally, King Yi Ze's guilt should be the same as that of King Yi, and he should be buried alive, but who made him disrespectful to the queen, daring to covet his wife, and being so upright, he had long been remembered by Yang Mu in the black book, and he was indispensable to take care of it.

The scene was so bloody and cruel that even Di Lao, who had always regarded death as his home, was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and when the terrifying screams of King Pan and King Ze spread, all the rebels collapsed.

Are there so many ways to kill?

These punishments, all of which are murderous methods that have never been heard of, do not seem to be punishments at all, but an art of killing, which is simply to make the criminal suffer.

If death is just a kind of despair, then this extremely painful death is a nightmare.

The officials who stood next to the prison and watched the execution only felt a chill down their backs, and their heads involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat, secretly glad that they had not participated in this rebellion in the first place, otherwise, there would be one of them who suffered so much pain on the execution platform today.

Among them, there is Wang Ying, the head of the Wang family, who secretly cast a grateful eye on Fan Hongji, the right minister on the side, if it wasn't for Fan Hongji's timely awakening, he would probably be bewitched, not only dragging the Wang family into the abyss of misery, but also becoming one of these miserable prisoners, it can be said that it was Fan Hongji's timely appearance that saved the entire Wang family!

The people in all directions, in the vast sea of people, there are many voices with chattering teeth, although they know that all this has nothing to do with themselves, but they just can't suppress the disgust and fear in their hearts.

Some ordinary people with children covered their children's eyes.

Many civilians were leaving, but were told that in order to prevent chaos, everyone was forbidden to leave until the execution was complete......

This was destined to be an extraordinary day, and for nearly two months after the reform was implemented, His Majesty the Emperor showed his sharp fangs for the first time, and opened a killing spree against the rebels, declaring the majesty and inviolability of imperial power to all those who disobeyed.

At the end of the torture, Yang Mu didn't have the heart to read it anyway, he opened the library in his mind and began to copy some ancient legal provisions, preparing to standardize the laws of today's Cangguo.

Because now, Cangguo needs rules too much, the law is like a track gear, once it is fully operational, it will be of great help to the governance of the country in the future, even if Yang Mu will be a faint monarch who has not been in court for several years in the future, but as long as the provisions of the national law are seriously implemented and the basic national policy is enshrined as a rule, then the whole country can still operate.

In this outline of the law for copying and rectifying, the most obvious thing is that the privilege of the nobles to kill without guilt is abolished, which is in line with the meritorious lord system, and a law that is in line with the current national conditions of the country has been formulated.

Of course, he can only list an outline, and the specific details still have to be handed over to the Criminal Department to improve.

In the end, Yang Mu found that he had written an outline of the law, and he had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it in the national decrees of that period.

Qin State!

In Chinese history, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can be said to be a very special period, the princes compete for hegemony, all countries are trying to unify the world all the time, for more than 400 years, the major vassal states continue to adjust the policy of governance according to the internal and external environment, even if it is a war for many years, they always maintain the highest combat power in the country, and in the last dozen or so countries, the countries that govern the country with benevolence and righteousness and solidify the class are the first to perish, and the seven countries that continue to change the law survive to the end, among which the Qin State changes the law most thoroughly, Based on Legalism and Mohism, the world was finally unified.

What it has created is a wartime society governed by the rule of law.

The legal outline that Yang Mu is now formulating has many similarities with the Qin State, but it has added some things related to people's livelihood, which will improve the national strength while allowing the whole country to run smoothly.

These two are not contradictory, they are a complementary effect, if you have to learn that all the people in the Warring States period were soldiers, then it can only be confirmed that there is a sentence, which is called full of tricks to lose the humble benefits, and the bowstring is too full, but it is easy to break.

The execution lasted nearly two hours, and it was about late evening before it officially ended.

From beginning to end, Yang Mu rarely looked up, because it was too miserable, especially the Pan King and Ze King who were Ling Chi, it was like shaving pork, except for the head, the meat on the body was thrown into a basket, and it was impossible to tell who it was cut from.

Then, it was to drive back to the palace, and when Luan drove away, the officials of the Criminal Department breathed a sigh of relief and evacuated 100,000 people with palpitations.

The next day, the details of this execution spread throughout the country, and the people were full of people talking about the tragic situation, one by ten, ten by hundred, more and more bizarre, to the point of stopping Xiao Er's crying at night.

The people who did not participate were extremely curious, and after listening to the colorful description, they did not know whether to be glad or sorry that they did not make it to the event.

On 26 August, an edict was again issued in the imperial palace, in which dozens of officials were arrested at once, most of them corrupt officials who had participated in bribery, and dozens of them were also sentenced to death, and all their family property was confiscated.

As for the servants in the families of the various officials, they were merged into the official slaves, and they were allowed to work in exchange for points, and one day they could become commoners.

Undoubtedly, this is a big event that makes people applaud, corrupt officials and corrupt officials touch the vital interests of the common people, after being executed, the people are happy, and the small families who support the imperial power have also encountered a golden opportunity, and each family has more or less obtained the official positions of several local governments.

On August 29th, Zichen Hall held a grand court meeting, the main content of which was to promulgate the first most majestic legal code in the history of Cangguo - "Dacang Law Order"!

The reason why it is said to be the first most majestic legal code is not that there were no legal provisions in Cangguo in the past, but that those legal provisions have not been well implemented at all, and they are very vague and unfair.

For example, if a person steals a chicken from a neighbor's house, the government will not pay attention to this trivial matter, or if someone steals a tael of silver, the government will arbitrarily carry out it, ranging from hitting the board to chopping hands, the gap is very large and extremely unfair.

The Dacang Law Decree is very detailed, not only involving government decrees, criminal laws, and official code of conduct, but also stipulating that all laws and regulations must be conscientiously implemented, and if there are private interpretations of laws and regulations, they will be demoted by the Ministry of Supervision.

That's right, it's the Ministry of Supervision, because it was on the same day that the imperial court began a major reform and officially established the system of twelve ministries!
