When news spread that Yun Houxing and Wang Sheng, along with other corrupt officials, were to be sentenced to death by dismemberment, the common folk rejoiced, applauding the justice being served.

On the day of the execution, crowds gathered in front of the Meridian Gate to witness the spectacle.

QingWu did not attend. Dismemberment? She had seen far grislier punishments in the depths of the Underworld.

These days, she had other matters to attend to.
