Chapter 854
Wang Youfu seemed very nervous.
On the contrary, the prisoner Liu Qinghuan, who was about to be tortured by lingchi, was calmer, and in turn signaled the executioner Wang Youfu to calm down.
"Don't be afraid, just cut. The more panicked you are, the more I will suffer. The calmer you are, maybe I can really survive 500 cuts. Hahaha..."
At this moment, Liu Qinghuan was simply amazing!
A series of loud laughter shocked the onlookers. They all stared at each other in amazement.
Some people shouted excitedly, "Good man!" regardless of the other party's identity as a religious bandit
"Good man, walk slowly! Eighteen years later, you are a good man again!"
"Good man, you can definitely withstand 500 cuts!"
"Good man!"
"Good man!"
Follow the crowd!
The crowd quickly made a noise.
When the supervising official saw this situation, he was immediately panicked and angry, "Silence, silence!" He sent out yamen runners to suppress it, and finally suppressed this "evil wind".
The executioner wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so nervous just now.
He was afraid of mass incidents, prison robbery by religious bandits, and bloody incidents.
Fortunately, everything was under control.
He was very dissatisfied with the executioner. Why didn't he do it? Did he have to urge him personally?
After being reminded, Wang Youfu suppressed his nervousness, spit into his palm, rubbed it, took out the special knife passed down by his master, and came to the rack.
At this moment, Liu Qinghuan's clothes were taken off, and the fishing net covered his body, which was tight and bulged with flesh.
As long as the knife was accurate and fast, five hundred cuts should not be a problem.
"Liu Haohan, I'm going to cut!" Wang Youfu said, "I'm just following orders. If you have any grievances, go find the right person, don't come find me."
Liu Qinghuan laughed, "Don't worry, I'll never find you after I die. Come on!"
He was ready to die, as steady as a mountain.
On the contrary, the one who moved the knife trembled a little. Gritting his teeth, he finally made the first cut.
An experienced executioner saw at a glance, "The first cut was not stable enough, and the cut was too hard. If it's still like this later, the prisoner may not last more than 500 cuts and will die of excessive blood loss."
"Is this because you haven't learned it well?"
"It's inevitable to be nervous for the first time."
"It seems that Old Zhang's apprentice is not very good."
"Let's wait and see, maybe there will be some improvements later."
The executioners talked quietly and expressed their opinions, and also taught their apprentices and sons.
At this moment, Wang Youfu was fully devoted to the work of Lingchi, and he didn't dare to relax at all. The knife in his hand became smoother and smoother.
From beginning to end, Liu Qinghuan did not let out a scream.
The people watching below held their breath and watched this scene nervously. At this moment, there were no religious bandits in the minds of the people, only heroes!
Everyone shouted the word "hero" in their hearts.
Chen Guanlou sat in the Tianlao office, and the jailer informed him of the news. Knowing that Wang Youfu was stable, he also breathed a sigh of relief silently, and praised openly, "Old Zhang has taught a good apprentice."
Medical Officer Mu asked him, "Do you have confidence that Wang Youfu can complete 500 cuts independently, and the last cut will kill the prisoner?"
"Do you have confidence? Now that the lingchi has begun. My confidence is obviously not important. The key is whether Wang Youfu himself has confidence. Have you found a corpse sewist? He has given enough money, so we have to do the job well."
"Don't worry, sir, the most experienced corpse sewist has excellent skills. The person is at the execution ground now. Just wait for the lingchi to end, and then come out to collect the body, and ensure that no piece of meat is missing."
Medical Officer Mu made a promise.
The corpse sewist was found by Medical Officer Mu himself. He is a veteran in this industry, comparable to Old Zhang in the industry of executioners. The skill of sewing corpses is very unique, and with the coffining skills, the person who was lingchi can finally be restored to a normal appearance and buried to comfort the family.
As the two were chatting, a jailer rushed in.
"My master is in trouble!"
"Your master is fine! If you have anything to say, please speak slowly. Who is in trouble? What happened?"
"Over there at the execution ground, over there at the execution ground..."
"Did someone break into the prison?"
"No, it's not a prison break. The prisoner is dead! Less than 500 cuts, the prisoner is dead!" The jailer finally took a breath and spoke a complete sentence.
Chen Guanlou stood up suddenly and subconsciously exchanged a look with Doctor Mu.
He asked anxiously: "What happened? Isn't it said that everything is fine? Wang Youfu cut quickly and accurately. How come the prisoner is dead in such a short time?"
He looked at the timing funnel. It was still early.
The jailer panted and said, "Everything went smoothly at first. After 300 cuts, the prisoner looked a little bit weak. He drank half a bowl of ginseng soup to keep him alive. I thought he could last until 500 cuts. Who would have thought that after just 350 cuts, the prisoner spurted out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot."
"How did he die?" Chen Guanlou suddenly asked.
The jailer was obviously stunned, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Doctor Mu hurriedly said, "My lord, are you asking you if the prisoner died because he couldn't bear the lingchi and lost too much blood. Or did he die suddenly due to some disease? Or did he die because of something wrong with the ginseng soup? There were so many executioners and coroners at the scene, but no one checked it? What did the supervising officer say?"
The jailer was even more confused when he heard it, and he was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweats, "I was in a hurry to come back to report the news. I didn't pay attention to the follow-up situation."
"What do you think about this, my lord?" Doctor Mu looked at Chen Guanlou.
Chen Guanlou pondered for a while and immediately ordered Chen Quan to come.
When Chen Quan arrived, he ordered: "Take Qian Fugui to the execution ground and find a way to find out the specific cause of death of the prisoner. Be sure to bring all the people in our prison. Don't worry about the attitude of the prison officer. If it is a grudge, you can turn your back on the other side, and you don’t have to be afraid! This lawsuit can only be fought at the Ministry of Justice, not at the execution ground! Do you understand?”
Chen Quan nodded and replied with a clear statement.
"Don't worry about what the decree said, nor do you care about the other executioners' coroners. I'll talk about everything when I go to the Ministry of Justice. No matter who is responsible, no matter what the reason for the prisoner's death, you just need to remember that this matter must be in the Ministry of Justice. The prisoner has no right to interfere. The prisoner is only responsible for supervision to ensure that all the prisoners are dead. Now the prisoner is dead, and the task is completed in advance. Besides, the Ministry of Justice may not really care about this. Go ahead , bring my famous post and bring everyone back all the time."
Chen Guanlou arranged everything and waited for the news.
He will definitely not come forward and will not go to the execution ground to argue with the executioner. Can't tell it clearly! And a waste of time.
He had to figure out what attitude the above was about Lingchi this time. It is necessary to kill five hundred swords, and even a single sword cannot be lost, and killing like venting anger. Or is it just a rule ceremony that demonstrates the majesty of the court!
The former is inevitable with a slander lawsuit, and maybe some money will be lost.
The latter, it’s all over the mess!
