THE ASSASSIN EMPRESS; WBYP.
At a square with hundreds of people. The officials, nobles, and commoners could be seen either standing or sitting.
In a section of the square, there was a huge platform raised with planks to form a stage. On the stage were knotted ropes that could contain a person's head, tied to poles, and below the ropes were stools.
Beside the poles were about twenty to thirty criminals in white under garments and those criminals included– children and women. The criminals were kneeling with their hands tied to their backs.
A heavily pregnant woman could be seen among the criminals. Her face was twisted with agony as her eyes were red from crying. In front of her white under garments were blood stains as it appeared that she had been bleeding.
