At this time, Chen Mohuai's face was ashen. Half of the four groups of people who were pulled out and beheaded were from the Chen family.
Now he looked at Shao Xi in front of him and couldn't tell whether he hated him or was afraid of him, or maybe both emotions?
In short, Shao Xi is now the person he is most afraid of and the person he least wants to see, but now Shao Xi is standing in front of him.
When he heard what Shao Xi said just now, he was like a dying person in a coma. He knew in his heart that Shao Xi would do what he said, and he was powerless to do all that Shao Xi did in front of him. I can't stop it, and I can't change it, I can only watch helplessly.
What did Shao Xi let him see? What he saw was that his biological son was strangled to death in front of him and fed to dogs after his death. Any parent who hears these words can be described as heartbroken.
At this time, Chen Mohuai's expression was very complicated, and his whole face was distorted. He didn't know whether he should beg Shao Xi or scold Shao Xi. He couldn't say anything because of the conflict.
This feeling of powerlessness when everything is about to happen in front of him, but he can't do anything, is like putting his heart on fire for Chen Mohuai.
This feeling is exactly what Shao Xi wants him to experience.
Shao Xi tried his best to save Ye Ziyuan, but at the moment when he was about to succeed, all the hopes and aspirations he and Ye Ziyuan had were ruthlessly torn apart by Chen Mohuai and his son.
Shao Xi wanted Chen Mohuai to feel the pain and helplessness he felt at that time, and even had to pay him back several times the amount.
Chen Mohuai never spoke, because he knew that nothing he could say at this time would help, and he could not change anything.
Now let alone his son, what he will face and endure next has already frightened him to the extreme.
Shao Xi didn't seem to expect any response from him. He just raised his hand slightly and moved it forward. Qiao Wu, who was standing behind him, understood and reached out to lift the child in the old woman's arms. passed.
According to Shao Xi's request, he walked up to Chen Mohuai, grabbed the back collar of the child's cotton robe, held it up with one hand and waved it in front of Chen Mohuai's eyes.
When Chen Mohuai saw the child in Qiao Wuan's hands, he showed an expression of emotional breakdown for the first time. The child's cries were like sharp knives gouging his heart.
And he could only coax the child softly while his face was filled with tears.
"Abao, don't cry. Dad is here. Abao, don't be afraid."
He wanted to use his identity as a father to comfort the child, so that the child could leave this world peacefully.
But he himself had been imprisoned for several months, and the child was only half a year old, which meant that Chen Mohuai was sent to prison not long after the child was born.
So in the child's eyes, he didn't recognize the person in front of him with a wrinkled face, shaggy hair and a hoarse voice.
He just wanted to find his mother, or at least return to the arms of the old woman who had just held him. It was really uncomfortable for him to be carried up in the air like this.
So he looked at Chen Mohuai in front of him, his eyes were extremely unfamiliar, and he just kept waving his two little hands and kicking his two little feet in the air.
He still kept crying, hoping that his crying would make the person carrying him send him back to the warm embrace just now.
At this time, Qiao Wu'an had slowly raised his other hand and opened his palm to place it on the child's neck. At this time, as long as Shao Xi gave an order, the child's neck would be broken instantly by him.
Chen Mohuai looked at Shao Xi with a pleading look for the first time. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to beg Shao Xi to let go of the child in front of him.
Shao Xi looked at the way Chen Mohuai looked at him and raised the corner of his mouth with a cruel smile.
When Shao Xi turned around and walked towards the killing platform, he shook off his sleeves heavily. As if he had received an order, Qiao Wuan tightened his grip on the child's neck.
With a "click" sound, the child's cry suddenly stopped, and his head hung weakly on Qiao Wuan's hand.
"Ah...ah...ah...!"
Chen Mohuai's miserable and hoarse howling sound came from behind Shao Xi, as if someone was tearing his heart out.
A year ago, his unlucky son died in the hands of Shao Xi. Unexpectedly, a year later, his other son was still not spared. This time, he even had to take his own life.
What was a mistake at the beginning actually led to such tragic consequences now, and he knew that he deserved all of this.
At this time, he didn't have the slightest hatred for Shao Xi, or in other words, he didn't dare to have the slightest hatred for Shao Xi.
This person was crueler than imagined, even crueler than himself. A year ago, he decided Ye Ziyuan's fate with just a few words, and today, his entire family was wiped out with just a raise of Shao Xi's hand.
Seeing the child in front of him with his arms and legs hanging down and his little head drooping, who had never had time to call him daddy, dying in Shao Xi's hands, Chen Mohuai began to feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
He finally felt regretful. He didn't regret how many bad things he had done over the years, but regretted that he really shouldn't have offended Shao Xi in the first place, and regretted that he shouldn't have instructed that good-for-nothing Chen Hanbin to go to the prison to force Ye Ziyuan to get the account books.
A wrong decision angered the demon-like person in front of him.
At this time, Chen Mohuai was on the verge of crying. The intense stimulation seemed to have caused him to lose his mind, and he suddenly started mumbling.
No one knew what he was mumbling, and he seemed to have gone crazy.
Shao Xi returned to the execution platform and sat back in his previous position.
At this time, the entire execution ground was filled with the smell of blood, which made many people present feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Some officials even couldn't help but started to vomit. If it weren't for saving face in public, I'm afraid someone would have vomited out by now.
People like Fu Biao and Qiao Wuan who have faced battlefield fighting seem to have long been accustomed to this. Killing and bloodshed have long been commonplace for them.
Shao Xi seemed to be a little sickened by the strong smell of blood. He raised his hand and took out another token from the token tube. He glanced at the three people tied to the execution column on the execution platform and raised his hand. Throwing the sign token with his hand.
When the sign fell to the ground, it meant that the execution began. The executioner standing behind the three people, with the help of the Yamen servants, cut and tore off the clothes of the three people, exposing the flesh of the three people.
The next step is to pick up the knife prepared in advance and start the execution.
The execution days of Liu Hui and Cai Cheng were one day, that is, half a day of cutting today to ensure that they would not die, and another half day of cutting tomorrow. After 500 cuts had been made at 3:00 noon tomorrow, the last cut could take their lives.
Chen Mohuai was sentenced to 3,600 knives and was executed for three days. It can be said that he was twice as happy.
The punishment of Lingchi is to cut off the flesh piece by piece, truly peeling and deboning.
At the end of the execution, all the skin and muscles of the human body will be cut off, leaving only a skeleton. Even the internal organs can be seen through the gaps in the skeleton.
When the prescribed number of cuts has been made within the prescribed time, the body cannot be transported away after the person is killed. It must continue to be tied to the execution column and the corpse must be exposed. The number of days for the corpse to be exposed depends on the crime committed.
In short, the entire execution process and the treatment of the executed person after the execution can be said to be very cruel and cruel.
This kind of punishment would only be imposed on those who committed the most heinous crimes. Originally, according to Jingyuan laws and regulations, although the crimes committed by Chen Mohuai and others should be punished by the Nine Clan, they would not reach the penalty of Ling Chi.
But what was unlucky for them was that the current sage Xiao Changyi actually handed over the decision-making power of this matter directly to Shao Xi. Everything was decided by him according to his own needs. Now they were unlucky.
Shao Xi hated them so much that he naturally wanted to use the cruelest punishment to deal with them, so these three people who originally only needed to beheaded now had to endure the pain of Ling Chi.
It can only be said that they earned this by their own strength. The death of Ye Ziyuan made Shao Xi remember them firmly. The reward now can be said to be extreme enough.
The first three cuts of the executioner's chops are to thank the gods, thank the earth, and thank the ghosts and gods. After these three cuts, the meat is cut step by step from different parts. The number of cuts in each part is particular.
Because it is too cruel, I won’t go into details here.
During the execution, the person being executed will be in agony, and every means will be used to keep them awake during the entire process, so that they can truly feel the pain caused by each knife.
Shao Xi, Xing Wenxin and others sat on the execution platform and listened to the screams of the three people. Everyone's reaction was different.
Shao Xi acted very calmly, sipping tea from the tea cup in his hand, and looking at Xing Xingtai from time to time.
As the local chief official, Xing Wenxin accompanied Shao Xi to supervise the execution, although it was obvious that he was extremely uncomfortable with this scene.
But for reasons of identity and face, he could only endure the discomfort in his heart and accompany Shao Xi to watch like this. The uncomfortable expression made Shao Xi smile secretly in his heart.
Needless to say, the other officials were all frightened and on pins and needles, and some even couldn't help but run to the back to vomit.
Due to the execution time limit, it was impossible for the executioner to cut all the knives in one day. People like Liu Hui and Cai Cheng cut 250 knives today and another 250 knives the next day.
Chen Mohuai was even more miserable. The 3,600 cuts were divided into three days. In order to prevent him from dying too early, he only had about 500 cuts on the first day.
The remaining 3,100 cuts will be completed gradually on the second and third days. It will not be until three days later that all the skin and flesh on the body are cut off before his life is taken.
As a supervising officer, Shao Xi felt relieved at the beginning, which was quite satisfying! But after a long time, sitting there actually felt boring.
The screams of the three people were enjoyable to listen to at first, but later became very noisy, so Shao Xi ordered people to gag all three people.
It hurts, but don’t let me scream! This can be regarded as an extra bonus given to them by Shao Xi.
