Blood dripped from the blade, staining the white snow below.
The magistrate's head rolled on the ground…
Chu Yi lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, as if he couldn't bear it.
After a while, he raised his head and said to the people around him in a clear voice, "Magistrate Feng He assassinated me in public. He is suspected of treason."
"I hereby order the Embroidered Uniform Guards to investigate the Feng Family in the capital. We have to investigate clearly."
The commoners witnessed the assassination in public and saw the capital magistrate beheaded with their own eyes. This scene was too bloody. Many people were frightened out of their wits, and cries of surprise rose and fell.
Although they were shocked, no one present sympathized with the magistrate.
