The last one to come out was Liu Chun. He was in the same posture. He was helped out by two jailers. His legs were dragged to the ground as if they were crippled. His eyes were full of fear and resistance.
It was a pity that even though the jailer was hampered by the gentle approach of Yi Huihou who was nearby, he still dragged him firmly out of the cell door. One of them even advised: "Master Liu, you are doing well, the rest of them will be cut in half." , If you don’t want to live but don’t want to die, you can just grit your teeth and get over it, and you won’t suffer.”
"That's right. This is the Lord's mercy. I heard that the prefect is about to be executed by Ling Chi. No one can compare with you. After all, you are a relative of the emperor and the Lord is taking care of you."
Liu Chun had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat and almost fainted. He wanted to curse but was not in the mood. He was afraid that he would cry when he opened his mouth.
Zhu Biao watched Liu Chun come out and personally confirmed that he was Liu Chun. He had to guard against this kind of thing. If someone took advantage of the loophole, it would be a big joke.
Zhu Biao stepped forward and helped him tidy up his clothes with red eyes. The two jailers on the side felt that Mr. Liu was worthy of being Mr. Liu. Even at this time, the prince could tidy up his clothes. Fortunately, the two of them did not add insult to injury on weekdays. Unless Mr. Liu opens his mouth now, the two brothers will not be buried with him.
Liu Chun looked at Zhu Biao's face and wanted to speak. His facial features were distorted by fear, but he didn't feel anything. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that although the circles under the Crown Prince's eyes were red, there was indifference and disgust in his eyes... …
Zhu Biao said softly: "You can take care of yourself in the next life, and don't do evil anymore."
Then people dragged Liu Chun away. When the people saw Liu Chun coming out, there was a loud noise, and the victims were eager to pounce on him, eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
The surrounding soldiers scolded him a few more times before calming down the noise. As the only person to be beheaded today, Liu Chun was naturally the protagonist who knelt down on the ground first.
The only executioner in the county took a big gulp of wine and sprayed it on the blade of his knife, then walked up and stood behind him. The servant of the Liu family sent fifty taels of silver last night, just hoping that he would make a good sword today and let the prisoner do it. Have a nice walk.
But Liu Chun was already limp. After pulling out the chopping stick from his back, Liu Chun felt as if his spine had been taken away. He fell limply to the ground, and it was useless to hold him up.
Zhu Biao watched silently. There was great terror between life and death. Just look at the prisoners who were about to be sentenced. No matter how arrogant they were on weekdays, at this moment, they wished they had never been born, so they didn't have to suffer this anxiety. .
After all, Liu Chun was not an ordinary prisoner. Brother Hou was watching, and some humiliating methods were not effective, so he had to let two guards lie on the ground to support Liu Chun's body, while the executioner took the opportunity to swing his knife.
With a pop, the upper bodies of the two guardsmen were sprayed with blood. It must be said that the executioner was experienced. Liu Chun's body fell to the ground, and the gap was clearly visible, but there was still a piece of flesh and blood connecting the body and the head.
This is another way to give the prisoner a happy life without causing the body to be separated. After that, the family members can take it home and sew it up for burial. The people around them cheered when they saw it.
The few people holding the steamed buns were like vicious dogs seeing meat and bones, and they rushed forward crazily to get some human blood, but the servants brought by Liu Ying had already gone up to protect the body of the second master.
Those people couldn't get fresh human blood, so they could only rub the blood on the ground. Some even used steamed buns to rub the faces of the two bloody guards.
After a period of chaos, it was the turn of the officials, gentry and bullies who were working for the tiger. Cangyang County, a small county, naturally did not have so many executioners, but the pro-military Duweifu who accompanied the escort did not have any talents. Just put on red clothes and do it. Woke up.
It's just that cutting in half is not as good as decapitation, and ordinary executioners have never had the opportunity to actually perform it. In the beginning, axes or axes were used for executions, because bronze is softer and not sharp enough, so it must be made into an axe, so that it can be cut with force.
After the popularity of iron tools, knives gradually played a leading role in beheadings. However, although knives are sharp, they are prone to wear and tear, and their use requires more skills. Just like a cook trying to untie an ox, one must be familiar with the gaps in the lumbar vertebrae. Otherwise, the knife cannot cut off with one blow. , the scene is naturally embarrassing.
Therefore, generally speaking, a guillotine is used, but the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to transfer the execution guillotine from the capital city, so I had to make do with it. Fortunately, no one cared about whether the prisoner would feel better, as long as he died in the end.
Several prisoners were stripped of their shirts and laid down on the iron and wood chopping board. It was just like me fighting for fish and meat between knives and knives. Suddenly before the execution, a servant came over and looked at Zhu Biao in awe, not daring to offend the prince. I had to ask Han Zheng.
"Master Hou, Liu Datou asked if you have any requirements. Is it a little higher or a little lower?"
Han Zheng glanced at Zhu Biao and felt that there was no need to consult the Crown Prince for such dirty things, so he ordered the execution to be carried out normally and took the servants away. Although Zhu Biao didn't hear what they said, he probably guessed it by looking at his expression. .
After the prisoner is cut in half from the waist, he will still be conscious and it will take a long time for him to die. There is a secret in this. If the executioner cuts the knife from the upper part during execution, the prisoner will die faster.
If someone wants the prisoner to suffer more, he can ask the executioner to use the knife from below, or even move the upper part of the person who was chopped in half to a tung oil board so that no blood can come out, which can make the prisoner survive for two or three more hours. Immortal, the methods are extremely cruel.
Zhu Biao knew this because Zhu Di cut off Xiaoru in half. Legend has it that after the execution, Xiaoru rested his elbows on the ground and dipped his hands in blood to write twelve and a half words "usurp" before dying.
The execution started soon after, and Zhu Biao didn't look at it anymore. He had been on the battlefield and had experienced scenes of bloody flesh and blood, but he had no interest in watching the cuts in half.
After ordering Han Zheng to jail him, he left straight away. Before leaving, Zhu Biao glanced at the excited people and suddenly felt a little strange. The leaders even gnawed human blood buns with crazy faces and stared at the execution. The table seems to be serving food.
Inexplicably, Zhu Biao suddenly had the intention to kill, but he shook his head and left after all. There was no cure for being ignorant and believing in evil. But since they had not committed any crime, Zhu Biao would not kill wantonly. Otherwise, what would be the difference between him and them?
Zhu Biao, who was walking on the road, felt sick to his stomach when he heard the screams behind him. Such a cruel punishment was indeed against human ethics. However, in today's troubled times, heavy punishments are used. But when the corruption trend is corrected, Zhu Biao will rectify the punishment and remove the cruelty. Law.
Nowadays, it is necessary to threaten and warn other corrupt officials by cutting Lingchi in half, so that they will not dare to break the law easily, at least openly. This can protect many innocent people.
