Chapter 481 Rolling Nail Board
Chapter 481 Rolling Nail Board
"Madam Shan, what kind of grace do you think should be given?" Emperor Chengtian himself took over Song Qingci's words.
Completely ignored those who were cricketing in private.
"Your Majesty! Etiquette cannot be abolished!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the rules of our ancestors cannot be easily broken. Otherwise, how can we explain to our ancestors in the future?"
"You ignorant woman! You have no right to speak here!"
At this time, a group of old ministers stopped pretending to be dead and stood up to oppose Song Qingci's proposal.
However, facing their incompetent barking, Song Qingci did not even glance at them, but continued to speak to Emperor Chengtian, "Your Majesty, these people are also your subjects, and they should naturally have a share of your joy. The ancestral etiquette cannot be abolished, so why not let one of these people roll on the nail board. As for the imperial caning, why not let these people share it equally. This way it will not be considered a violation of the ancestral etiquette."
"Madam is right. In this way, we have done what needs to be done, and no one can say anything wrong."
Shan Li walked to Song Qingci's side unconsciously. Although he didn't say anything else, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from his position that he was supporting her.
"This..." Lord Zhang did not expect that the punishment could be like this.
Seeing that no one spoke, Song Qingci clapped her hands, signaling the people below to bring up the nail board she had prepared.
When others saw such a nail board, they couldn't help but gasp.
Some timid women even lowered their heads.
I didn't dare to look directly at the nail board that was being lifted up.
The nail board is three feet wide and nine feet long, and is densely packed with finger-long nails.
There are at least several thousand of them. If a trypophobic person saw this, he would definitely faint.
Even the officials in the Ministry of Justice were dumbfounded. What kind of nail board was this? In the past, there were at most one or two hundred nails on the nail board. How could there be so many times more nails now?
"How is it? My Lords, isn't this nail board more majestic? If it is rolled like this, I believe even our ancestors will not find any fault with it."
Song Qingci looked around and made the adults who had been eager to try lower their heads.
Everyone was afraid of the general's wife.
What kind of female Rakshasa is this? She is as fierce as a general who has been leading troops in battles for years.
If I accidentally offend her, I don't know how she will target me.
Shan Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She remembered the day in the Caijin Pavilion when she broke someone's arm without saying a word.
This sister-in-law never chooses the right time to be willful.
"Sister-in-law, you are too cruel. Today is His Majesty's good day, and it is not appropriate to see blood. Please stop making trouble." Shan Yu couldn't help but speak out to stop her.
She wanted to hide, but unfortunately, she now realized that her identity was different and she could say similar things.
Her words were supported by other officials' wives.
"Yeah, there are so many nails, if someone rolls on them, they will be pierced through!"
"Whose lady is this? She is acting so perversely. Not only does she wear men's clothes, but she also participates in men's affairs. She is not afraid of embarrassing her husband."
"She is so cruel. If someone rolls on these densely packed nails... Oh my God, how can it be seen!"
Thinking of the bloody scene, the lady who was speaking almost vomited.
When Emperor Chengtian saw the nail board, he laughed wildly in his heart. This elder sister is really unconventional.
You can also make a nail board like this. If you are not a fool, you will know that such a densely packed nail board will not hurt anyone. The denser, the safer.
This Song Qingci is really talented! There are so many good things in her space!
"Since the nail board has been brought up, let's do as Madam Shan said. Choose one person to roll over and nail the board. As for the 100 sticks, they will share the responsibility."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." After expressing his gratitude, Song Qingci pointed to the youngest boy in the group and said, "It's you!"
The little boy who was called out was not afraid at all, and his face showed an expression of being ready to die.
But an old lady next to him hugged the child and stood in front of him.
““I’ll go! The child is too young! I’ll go! I’m not afraid!””
Now that we have come to this point, there is no way back. We can only move forward and there is no reason to retreat.
Song Qingci took a step forward, put his hand on the old lady's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "You haven't forgotten what I said before you came in, have you? Everything must be arranged by me."
After saying this, Song Qingci raised his body and looked at the little boy, "Go! Don't be afraid."
The little boy nodded heavily and said, "I'm not afraid!"
After saying that, he walked towards the nail board.
Standing in front of the nail board, looking at the densely packed tips of the nails that were shining coldly, the little boy subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes a little evasive.
But no one knows what was going on in his mind, his eyes suddenly became firm, and facing the nails that were shining with cold light, he no longer had any fear.
Under the gaze of everyone, the little boy lay firmly on the nail board and rolled on it.
The female members were so frightened that they all turned their heads away and didn't dare to look at all.
Even Queen Mother Shan looked away.
It’s not that she has never seen blood before, she just doesn’t want to see such vile and dirty blood.
The nine-foot-long nail board boy rolled very quickly.
However, when he stood up again, the scene that everyone imagined did not appear on the nail board.
Not only was there no bright red blood on the nail board, but the little boy's body was basically unharmed.
This stunned everyone.
"How can this be?"
The officials supervising the execution were closest to the scene and witnessed the entire process with their own eyes.
There is no fakery in this. All the nails are genuine nails, and each one can be driven into the human body without any hindrance.
But how come after rolling down this circle, this person was completely unharmed.
Not only did it seem strange to other people, even the little boy himself found it strange.
He originally thought that he would definitely get hurt, and maybe even lose his life. However, as long as he thought about being able to speak out about his and other people's grievances on such an occasion today, he felt it was worth it even if it cost him his life.
However, when the nail board rolled down, I just felt a little tingling in my body at first, and there was no pain at all.
"It seems that even our ancestors could not tolerate the injustice you are going to tell us today, so people can remain unharmed when rolling on the nail board." Emperor Chengtian looked at the little boy who was obviously still at a loss, and took the initiative to make up for him.
No matter what other ideas others have, Emperor Chengtian’s words have set the tone for this matter.
