Comment: This scene is a typical ending of a Chinese courtroom drama. The judge (here Baogong) announces with precise words how the culprits are to be executed, but the actual lingchi is not shown onstage. There is a touch of black humour as the two culprits tell about the way they disposed of the body their victim, in a way somewhat similar to lingchi.
