Event_Alluded: A famous scene at the end of Shuihu zhuan
Original_Text_Language: Chinese
Text_Interest: One of the rare depictions of a legal execution by lingchi in a novel, which is immune of all detail on agony, but focuses instead on the general ambiance, noises, gestures, audience's reaction before the execution and after the execution — in quite cliched formulas, see "the execution of sorcerers" by Feng Menglong. In contrast, the drawing facing the text is more explicit on Wang Qing's aqony.
