"Shen Chenghao was beheaded, and the other members of the Shen Family with martial arts abilities had their skills abolished. Then, they were all sent to the front lines to work on road construction along with the women and children," Yang Wenxiao said.
Although the "Daqi Laws" did not stipulate a system of collective punishment, Shen Chenghao's crimes were too serious, so not a single member of the Shen Family could escape. Regardless of gender and age, all had to endure hard labor.
From then on, their lives would be spent in servitude.
"When the Shen Family prospered, these people all profited from their success. Now that the Shen Family has fallen, they must share in the hardships as well. A family enjoys their fortunes and faces adversities together."
Qiao Xiaomai gave an "oh" of agreement and flattered, "His Majesty the Retired Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor are wise."
