Chapter 803

After the rain, the sun shines.

In the city of Guangzhou, Duke of Wei Qin Lang publicly pronounced the execution of the leader of the cult and his henchmen.

The whole city is surrounded by spectators, thousands of miles of empty alleys.

On the surface, he is the leader of the light, but secretly he is the king of the eagle's nest assassins. This king who once ruled the underground in Guangzhou for 30 years has been accused of dozens of serious crimes, and then sentenced to public mutilation.

The third generation has been tortured and almost disfigured, his face is bloody and bloody, and his true colors cannot be seen.

On the execution platform, a group of executioners stood there in a dilemma.

Qin Lang's request was that he would have to cut a thousand knives, and it would be too early for him to die.

A thin old man with white beard and hair came up, "Young people today can't even understand Ling Chi."

"Master."

When a group of executioners saw the old man, they immediately saluted respectfully. This is an old man who has washed his hands in the golden basin for many years. Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Government invited this man over.

Although the old executioner was hunched and trembling slightly when he walked, his eyes still shone brightly when he saw the Eagle King tied to the execution platform.

"When the old man washes his hands in the golden basin, the King of Light has not yet come. I have heard of his reputation for thirty years, but now he will be tortured on this torture platform. Hahaha, before the old man died, he could cut him Such a great person is also enjoyable."

"Take my dick!"

Lao Tzu's great-grandson came up with a box on his back, opened it, and there were dozens of tools in it. This family tradition of executioner has been passed down from generation to generation.

Cutting to pieces by a thousand knives is a test of the executioner's skills, and most people don't have this ability.

Execution by Ling Chi, also known as chopping with a thousand knives or chopping into pieces, was not included in the five punishments of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Ling Chi was not included in the final sentence in the Tang law, Ling Chi would still be there.

Generally speaking, those who can commit Lingchi are extremely serious crimes, and even ordinary ten heinous felonies are not Lingchi. Conspiracy and treason, killing three people in a family is not a capital crime, dismembering people, harvesting and cutting off, killing grandparents, parents, maternal grandparents, husband's grandparents, parents, slaves murdering parents, wives and concubines murdering relatives and husbands because of adultery, generally only Only criminals who commit these extremely violations of the code of ethics and have a bad influence may be delayed.

Ling Chi demanded public punishment? The prisoner was chopped up piecemeal and died in extreme pain, which had a great deterrent effect on the public.

Very few Ling Chi can truly cut him to pieces.

Many inmates would bleed to death quickly etc? Not many cuts at all.

The old executioner changed into a big red robe? He tied a red forehead? The whole person was refreshed.

Qin Lang and a group of officials sat on the torture platform, watching this scene with cold eyes.

In front of the execution platform, countless barbarians and merchants in the port were rushed to witness this scene.

"Too cruel!"

Changping envoy Jia Wuben sighed to his son Jia Runfu, the governor of Zhangzhou. Cruel."

Jia Runfu curled his lips at his father's remarks? It's hard to answer.

Lao Jia was an officer of the Sui Dynasty. He fought with Zhang Xutuo in the southern and northern wars? Ping Nanchen? Follow Yang Suping to pacify the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty? With Zhang Xutuo in the Central Plains, he wiped out one army after another of the ants? In the end he went to Wagang? He fought thousands of battles in his life.

"I think back then, in order to deter the rebellious army of ant thieves, what method was never used. Is it really nothing? Really. You know that when we suppressed thieves in the Central Plains, thousands of people faced the siege of hundreds of thousands of ant thieves How did you survive when you ran out of arrows and food?"

Jia Runfu's experience is not as rich as his father's, but he also served under Zhang Xutuo's command at a young age, and fought side by side with Qin Qiong Luo Shixin and the others.

"Eating human flesh is not easy to preserve in hot weather, so we have to pickle it with salt and put it on fire to smoke it. This will not only save it for a longer time, but also remove some of the sour taste in human flesh. This boy Luo Shixin liked to eat human ears the most back then. Put the skewers on the fire and grill them until they are crispy, one bite at a time."

"Shubao always couldn't eat, everyone took care of him and often found some mice and sparrows for him to satisfy his hunger."

Xiao Jia recalled his unbearable past experiences. Not only did they eat human flesh, they even fought for human flesh when they were poor.

He fought with several soldiers just for one leg, and now there is a scar left by the battle on his shoulder.

"Aye, there's no need to keep mentioning what happened back then, it makes me sick to my stomach."

"Hmph, you're still acting hypocritical. Don't you remember the time when you were almost beaten to death when you fought for a leg?"

Xiao Jia smiled wryly.

"It's better to be a dog of peace than to be a troubled person. We were better back then. We thought that the false king of Chu, Zhu Can, was a man-eating devil. He had hundreds of thousands of horses under his hands, but he didn't occupy any land. He just plundered blindly. If they couldn't rob food, they robbed people, drove the living people to serve as military rations, and even took away all the corpses that were killed during the siege of the city. They ate hundreds of thousands of people."

"That Zhu Can only eats children's hearts, devil."

Qin Lang could not help but feel his teeth aching as he listened to the couple's memories of the past.

Cannibalism has finally broken through the limit of human beings.

What a cruel environment, this is possible.

For the old Jia and his father, Sui Sha is really not worth mentioning for them who came from hell.

In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I have never seen anything like it.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, and after Yang Guang captured the Yang family brothers, he ordered the Yang family brothers to be dismembered, and all the officials shot the Yang family members to death one by one. At that scene, everyone became a mountain of arrows.

In order to frighten the rebellious people, the local governments used all kinds of killing methods, and the shattering was just so-so.

"Back then, there was a very powerful old executioner in Qi County. He was able to cut a prisoner alive for 10,000 knives. He would cut a prisoner alive for nine days and nine nights. The prisoner wailed day and night. He only wanted to die, but he couldn't."

"This craft is probably lost by now."

"This old man seems to be quite powerful!"

"Lingnan is Lingnan after all, no matter how powerful it is, can it surpass the Central Plains? I guess this old man could cut four or five thousand knives at most when he was in his prime. Now, at most three thousand knives, it would be great if he could keep the prisoner alive for three days .”

Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu did not dare to make a sound while listening. Although they also came from Wagang, they were just like Qin Lang when Wagang was in its prime, they were just kids, riding bamboo horses to fight as generals in Jinyong City Well, where did he really experience any cruelty?

Chu Mo had spent a few years guarding the Hetao town, and he had experienced a lot of hardships. This year, he attacked Goguryeo and suppressed Liuqiu.

Compared with them, I am still too young.

"The official criminal law of the imperial court is beheading, and beheading at the waist is considered an additional punishment. Now that there are thousands of cuts to pieces, I think that in twenty or thirty years, the Tibetan merchants will not dare to mess around again." Wang Chengen, the Shibo envoy sitting next to Qin Lang, sighed. He said, in Qin Lang's action this time, he was quite cooperative, but he didn't participate too much.

I thought that the King of Light was not so easy to deal with, but who expected Qin Lang to uproot that King of Light and even capture him in just a month or so.

He didn't doubt that Qin Lang found a substitute to carry out the execution.

Qin Lang's actions against the Guangming Cult were very successful. Up to now, hundreds of strongholds of the Guangming Cult and the Eagle's Nest have been detected and suppressed, and tens of thousands of people have been arrested.

It's pretty amazing.

In Guangzhou and Lingnan, there is actually such a huge underground kingdom. In fact, he is also guilty of dereliction of duty as a city envoy.

Now that Qin Lang is willing to give him the help of suppressing thieves, he is already extremely grateful.

What's more, Qin Lang's opportunity to purge the Guangming Cult and the Eagle's Nest also involved many Han and Fan maritime merchants. A large number of merchants were either confiscated, taxed, or bought at a low price by the Changping Division. Jia also distributed a lot of luxury seafood to the Shipbuilding Department.

It is undoubtedly a political achievement for the Shibo Division to complete this year's procurement tasks ahead of schedule, even at a very low cost.

on the scaffold.

The old man was talking to a group of young executioners, "You young people, you only know a little bit of superficial knowledge, and Ling Chi can only do eight knives. What kind of Ling Chi is eight knives? If you cut more than 3,600 knives, you are not called Ling Chi. Today, grandpa, I will show you what Ling Chi is. Keep your eyes open and learn it. I am afraid that this skill will be lost in the future."

On the execution platform, the eagle king with white eyebrows wanted to struggle, but was fixed by his whole body.

An executioner brought a fishing net.

"What are you going to do with this thing?"

"It is said that the fishing nets are placed tightly on the prisoner's body, and when the flesh of the prisoner protrudes from the mesh, it is just a piece of knife."

The old executioner was disdainful, "Whoever uses this thing as a real executioner, take it away."

He picked up a sharp knife and walked up to the Eagle King, sneering, "This body is neither fat nor thin, so it's easy to cut."

After speaking, he took out a gourd and poured a few mouthfuls of potion into the Eagle King's mouth.

"Grandfather, what is this?"

"Hey, this is the secret of our family not to pass it on. It is passed on to the male but not to the female, and not to the outside. If you want to cut tens of thousands of knives and kill the prisoner for several days without dying, this is very particular."

He smiled, raised the sharp knife and saw a familiar flash of movement, Eagle King didn't feel any pain, and then a thin and thin piece of flesh was sliced ​​off his chest.

The old executioner threw the first piece of meat into the sky and yelled.

"The first cut of meat, sacrifice to heaven!"

Then, before the piece of meat fell to the ground, the old executioner flicked his wrist again, and the scalp above Eagle King's eyes was cut open, but still slightly connected.

The old executioner picked up the knife lightly, and the two pieces of flesh drooped down, just covering the two eyes of the Eagle King.

"Look, it's called a blindfold!"

"Old Patriarch, what is the point of this knife?"

"Hmph, save yourself from being stared at when you cut the knife, and save yourself from dreaming about him in the middle of the night in the future."
