Chapter 805 Lin Xue's Humiliation by Carving Words on the City Wall: A Conspiracy Between the P
Zhao Kang cruelly hoisted Lin Xue's head high, placing it in a crumbling wooden cage atop the wall of the largest city under rebel control, leaving it to be exposed to wind, sun, and rain, as a warning to the city's inhabitants. Not only that, he went even further, hanging Lin Xue's naked, utterly undignified corpse on the same wall, allowing passersby to judge and point fingers—a razor-sharp spear mercilessly pierced Lin Xue's lifeless body: the spearhead plunged deep into her lower body, then... Then, blood suddenly gushed from her neck, and from Lin Xue's lower body, a pool of bright red blood slowly flowed out, mixed with some white and yellowish substances, as if silently telling the story of the inhuman brutality and humiliation Lin Xue had suffered before her death... Even more appalling, Zhao Kang had someone write the five shocking characters "The Fate of a Whore" in Lin Xue's already cold and stiff chest with their own blood, and at the same time ordered someone to use a sharp blade to carve the eight characters "Lin Xue, the Slut, Dies Here" in large characters on Lin Xue's back! His actions were clearly intended to thoroughly humiliate this brave and fearless female general who was unfortunately killed by his own hand, so that everyone could see what kind of miserable and tragic end the court's female general would ultimately meet!
People passing by the rebel-controlled area under the city wall stopped in their tracks upon seeing Lin Xue's fate, their faces showing disdain and disgust.
"That Lin Xue, what a slut! How dare she defy our army! This is what she deserves!" a middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.
“That’s right, she even wants to be a female general of the imperial court. That emperor is a lewd woman who seized the throne by usurping it. What kind of legitimate court is she? She’s helping such a court without even considering her own status!” another man chimed in.
"Look at the fluid dripping from her body, she looks like a slut, how shameful!" a woman said with disgust.
“This is the punishment she deserves; who told her to be so shameless!” an old man said, shaking his head.
The clamor of the crowd echoed all around, rising and falling like waves. They were filled with righteous indignation, deeply disgusted by Lin Xue, this shameless and dissolute prostitute, and unanimously condemned her tragic end as entirely her own fault! Some even spat directly at Lin Xue's naked body; others pointed at her lifeless corpse, their faces full of mockery and contempt, seemingly enjoying the ridicule of her pitiful and lamentable fate.
Those civilians who happened to be passing beneath the city wall and entering the rebel-controlled area involuntarily stopped in their tracks upon witnessing this horrifying and gruesome scene. Their hurried figures froze, and they stood watching. Immediately, all eyes were drawn to the naked, lifeless female corpse hanging high in the air—undoubtedly, this pitiful victim was Lin Xue herself. At that moment, every onlooker's face displayed an indescribable, utter contempt and disgust…
"Hmph! This Lin Xue is nothing but a complete slut and whore! How dare she openly defy the invincible army led by our great leader? Well, look what happened, she deserves this miserable end!" Suddenly, an angry shout came from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with a face full of scars standing there. He was cursing Lin Xue viciously while clenching his teeth and waving his fists.
“Yes, yes!” Another thin man hurriedly nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously, “With a woman of such humble origins and lowly status, how dare she dream of becoming a high-ranking female general? Isn’t that just wishful thinking!” As he spoke, he glanced at the woman not far away with a contemptuous look.
Just then, a murmur of whispers suddenly arose from the crowd: "Oh, look! Look at the words tattooed on her back! She's a slut, a whore who seduces men! How shameful! I'm so embarrassed for her!" Everyone turned to look, and saw a rather pretty young woman with a face full of disgust. She was tightly covering her cherry-like mouth with her slender hands, as if afraid she would vomit at any moment—a look of utter disgust.
However, some of the older people seemed quite calm and composed in the face of this scene. One of them slowly shook his head and sighed, "Alas... she only has herself to blame. She has no one else to blame! After all, a woman who knows nothing of shame will eventually be severely punished by heaven!" After saying this, the old man turned and left, leaving the rest of the people who were still whispering and pointing to each other immersed in the noise and commotion...
Lin Xue's once petite and frail body was now completely exposed to the crowd, hanging naked on the city wall, left to the elements. Ordinary people passing by pointed and whispered about the corpse, hurling vicious curses and mocking laughter. They attacked the once-powerful female general with the most filthy language, as if venting all their resentment on her.
Lin Xue's young and delicate skin had turned as pale as paper, covered with gruesome wounds; her once beautiful and captivating eyes had long since lost their life, staring blankly into the distance. This tragic and desolate scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present, and shattered the common people's trust in the imperial court—if even a dignified female general could meet such a fate, what would become of the other officials in the court? Perhaps only worse…
However, Lin Xue never expected to be treated this way after her death! How could she have imagined that her remains would become a tool for Zhao Kang to slander and defame the court, not only suffering endless humiliation and torture, but also bringing shame upon the entire court and the Empress! All of this was nothing more than a carefully planned conspiracy by those powerful families. They couldn't wait to see the court retaliate against the Lin family because of this, thereby triggering suspicion and infighting within the Lin family and even among the imperial Liu family, the powerful Lin family, the Li family, the Qi family, and other major families, ultimately leading to the disintegration of the entire court and its descent into chaos!
