Chapter 558: The Executioner (Part II)

In fact, in ancient times, although the executioner was not something that everyone could do, it was a very popular job at the bottom of society, and ordinary people couldn't do it if they wanted to. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

You must know that the executioner pays attention to the beginning and fall of the knife, so that the dying person can suffer less crimes.

But the scale of the knife is in the hands of the executioner, he can make those condemned prisoners die very simply, and he can also make them not die for a while, and they have to mend the knife or even wail for a long time before they die.

It is the family of a condemned prisoner, before the execution, often ask someone to find the executioner to send money, all they want is to let their family die happily, and the executioner who has received the financial gift will naturally work harder when working.

Therefore, although the living status of the Peng family in the capital is not high, but the life is very good, and unlike most of the other executioners, the Peng family was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and was not affected by the evil spirit of the dead, and almost all generations had men, and this inheritance was also continued.

In several dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, as long as there are some more important prisoners, almost all of them are executed by the Peng family, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a major event occurred in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the Wuxu Change, in order to stabilize its feudal regime, the Empress Dowager Cixi opened a killing ring, and the six gentlemen of Wuxu were all beheaded by the entrance of the vegetable market.

And the executioner at that time was the Peng family, because the name of the six gentlemen of Wuxu was too big, many executioners in the capital at that time were unwilling to be the executioner, and in the end it was the Peng family hand-picked by Cixi, and rewarded a lot of property.

After learning that the Peng family would be the executioners, some people threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the Peng family, and some people carried a lot of money to ask the Peng family to give the six gentlemen a happy time.

The head of the Peng family in the capital of that generation knew that this work was not easy to do, and he was even more afraid of being killed, so the day before the execution, he let his two younger sons leave the capital overnight to go to the head of the Peng family in Sichuan Province, but left the eldest son by his side.

Sure enough, after the execution of the head of the Peng family, all kinds of remarks came overwhelmingly, and even the vegetable vendors in the vegetable market were unwilling to sell vegetables to the Peng family, and even those who participated in the Wuxu Reform at that time threw a bomb at the Peng family in the middle of the night.

The attitude of the government was also extremely ambiguous at that time, and there were many people in the government who supported the Wuxu reform.

When the six gentlemen of Wuxu died, many people did not dare to reprimand or there was nothing they could do about the Lafayette, so they transferred their hatred to the Peng family, and the head of the Peng family was inexplicably beaten several times, and once was almost killed on the spot.

Knowing that this time it was difficult to escape, the head of the Peng family asked his eldest son to leave the capital overnight with the ghost head knife handed down by the family on a dark and windy night, and he hanged himself in the house, so that the situation in the capital was calmed down.

But what the head of the Peng family in the capital didn't expect was that the back road he left for his children and grandchildren brought disaster to the head of the Peng family in Sichuan Province.

Among the six gentlemen of Wuxu, there is a very famous figure, that is, Tan Sitong, who once wrote "I smile to the sky with a horizontal sword, and go to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun!".

Kang Youwei once commented on Tan Sitong "The talent of the master, the courage of ten thousand people!", and Tan Sitong has been chivalrous since he was a child, and admires those reckless heroes who hoe the strong and help the weak, he has traveled to more than ten provinces in China in his early twenties, observed the terroir, made friends with celebrities, and had contacts with many people in the martial arts.

For example, the famous righteous sword king five in the capital, he and Tan Sitong are like brothers, after Tan Sitong was arrested and imprisoned, the big sword king five once gathered people in the martial arts to rob the prison and save people, but Tan Si was bent on death, and Wang Wu had no choice but to leave.

The people in the martial arts, talking about a happy enmity, although the Peng family was also involuntarily punished by Tan Si, but it was remembered by the martial arts people who were friends with Tan Si, after the head of the Peng family hanged himself, I don't know where they inquired from, it turned out that the Peng family in Sichuan Province was the main vein of this branch.

You must know that Tan Si's name as the six gentlemen was really resounding all over the country at that time, whether you know it or not, you have to raise your thumb and say a good word, especially Tan Sitong's extensive communication in the rivers and lakes, so the Peng family in Sichuan Province also caused a disaster.

At first, there were only some people who admired the six gentlemen who went to Sichuan Province to question the Peng family, and then some of the Peng family's enemies in Sichuan Province united, thinking that the righteousness of the six gentlemen of Wuxu wanted to uproot the Peng family from Sichuan Province.

Although the Peng family is deeply rooted in Sichuan Province, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and once the rumor that the six gentlemen of Wuxu were killed by the Peng family came out, even ordinary people dared to spit on the Peng family in the street, and the Peng family had already lost the hearts of the people.

In this case, the head of the Peng family at that time could only make the decision to move out, looking at it, there was no place for them in the country, and in desperation, he finally chose this remote place in Myanmar and has lived until now.

Speaking of this past, Peng Bin is also quite emotional, it can be said that the fate of the Peng family in this century, and this ghost head knife has an inseparable relationship, as far as the ghost head knife itself is concerned, it is just that the forging process is outstanding, and there is nothing special, but the meaning given to this knife by history is not trivial.

"Boss Peng, this ...... This Tan ...... Tan Sitong, he actually died under this knife?"

After hearing Peng Bin tell the origin of the ghost head knife, the fat man and the three guns looked at the ghost head knife again, and there was something wrong with their eyes, Tan Sitong, who was famous in history, was actually the ghost under the knife of this knife.

"That's right, there were two executors at that time, and among the six gentlemen of Wuxu, there were four people who died under this knife......

Peng Bin nodded and said: "Although this knife has some meaning to the Peng family, but time has passed, it is all in the past, if you want it, little fat man, take it, but you must take good care of it in the future, and don't fall into the hands of others......"

"Boss Peng, this ...... This knife is good, no...... Can I order something else, though?"

The fat man's energy just now has completely disappeared, he doesn't care that this knife is a murder weapon, but knowing who the ghost head knife has killed, the fat man's heart is awkward, and he can't think of the six gentlemen of Wuxu when he sees this knife in the future.

Moreover, Fang Yi also said just now that he couldn't control this knife, and the fat man didn't want to suffer any flying disasters because he took this knife, so although he liked this ghost head knife very much, he could only give up painfully.

"You kid, don't you have the guts......"

Hearing the fat man's words, Peng Bin couldn't help laughing, and said: "This thing is for you, it will hurt you, okay, you pick something else, I said, you can choose any one of the things here......"

"Boss Peng, who knew that your stuff here had such a big origin?"

The fat man replied with a wry smile, but his eyes were rolling again, not to mention, this room can really be called a "treasure trove", and each object in it has a special origin.

"Big brother, this ghost-headed knife...... I want it......" Just as the fat man was about to go to see something else, Fang Yi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Hmm, brother, do you want this knife?"

Peng Bin was a little stunned when he heard this, because with his understanding of Fang Yi, he knew that although Fang Yi's cultivation was unfathomable, he was very calm and peaceful, just in response to the Taoist sentence "There is no quarrel with the world", he didn't expect Fang Yi to be interested in this murderer.
