Chapter 350: Watching the Punishment
The crowd of people suddenly burst into cheers, deafening like a tsunami of mountains.
Cui Keyin pointed outside and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”
Xue Ping'an was escorted by officers and soldiers to the entrance of the vegetable market, and the people automatically flashed out of a way.
Cui Keyin held Zhou Heng's hand tightly, excited and nervous, and said, "Is Ling Chi executed?" ”
"Yes. Are you afraid? Zhou Heng held her hand lovingly, and said, "Ling Chi is going to use a special torture instrument to cut off his flesh piece by piece, each piece is about three inches wide, and the blood is flowing all over his body without dying." ”
Cui Keyin nodded and said, "I know, I have to cut more than 10,000 knives." ”
Such a cruel punishment has not been carried out for many years, and it would not have been put to death in this way unless it had been for the most heinous crimes. Xue Ping'an's crime is extremely heinous, and the torture presented by the Criminal Department is to punish Ling Chi, if he did not kill Cui Zhenjing, Zhou Heng would definitely behead him, but he killed Cui Zhenjing, causing Cui Keyin's parents to die when he was three years old, but it is unforgivable.
Zhou Heng saw that her face was resolute, obviously to watch the whole process, knowing that she hated Xue Ping'an to the core, and the hatred overshadowed the fear of this kind of torture, he gently hugged her, and said: "The great revenge will be avenged, and the spirit of my father-in-law and mother-in-law in heaven will rest in peace, and from now on, you will also be happy." ”
Cui Keyin was moved in her heart, nodded vigorously, and said, "I will." ”
The bits and pieces since I met and fell in love with him flashed in my mind like lightning. The panic of childhood, the self-control of girlhood, the door of the heart that closed the guard, after meeting him, opened up little by little. Happiness seeps in little by little. Now that the revenge has been avenged, she is no longer the little girl who just lost her parents, she has a lot to do, she has a husband and children, and her own home to maintain.
Cui Keyin hugged Zhou Heng tightly and murmured, "Thank you." ”
I can't imagine what her life would be like if she hadn't met him, if she hadn't married him.
Zhou Heng stroked her back and said, "You still have me." And Lele. Why don't we have a few more brothers and sisters for Lele? ”
"You man!" Cui Keyin's gratitude and sadness were broken into laughter by Zhou Heng's sudden words, and she said angrily: "What are you thinking about all day? ”
Isn't government affairs enough for him to be busy? And fantasies.
Zhou Heng was about to divert her attention, but when he saw her laughing, he also laughed twice.
When Cui Keyin's mood stabilized. The jailer has verified Xue Ping'an's identity. reported to the warden and beheaded the officer. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon that the execution came. An old man in a gray cloak walked out of the crowd, it was Cui Zhenyi, and he walked up to Xue Ping'an and stood still. The expression is complicated.
Xue Ping'an smiled bitterly: "It's rare that Lord Cui came to see Xue." ”
The Cui family really hates him to the core, and they are willing to take a break only when they come to see him on the road.
Cui Zhenyi said: "The emperor's grace is vast, you are through foreign countries, and you only destroy the three clans, which is really cheap for you." ”
Collaborating with the enemy and rebelling is a serious crime, and the destruction of the three clans is indeed the emperor's grace. Xue Ping'an knew his own affairs, and he didn't defend himself, and said, "How is Empress Cui?" Unexpectedly, Cui Xie Yuan died early, leaving such a blessed daughter. ”
Cui Zhenyi's eyes were sharp, and he said, "You're not hard, are you?" ”
Xue Ping'an suddenly laughed and said, "Xue is going to be a ghost under the knife, what can you do if you are unwilling?" The most proud thing in his life is to push the national abbot into the water. Master Cui, Xue has lived more than ten years longer than Brother Ling, so what if you destroy my three clans? ”
It's a complete look of earned. Cui Zhenyi frowned and said: "Your parents, wife and children are about to become ghosts, aren't you afraid of death, and you don't think about your parents, wives and children?" Your youngest son is only four years old, right? ”
The so-called extermination of the three tribes is the parents, wives, and children, a total of three generations.
Xue Ping'an's parents are there, and they have been taken out of prison, just waiting to be beheaded one day.
Thinking of the white-haired parents suffering in prison, and not even a whole body when they died, the son born to the concubine was extremely lovely, he was old and loved like life, but because of himself, he only lived four years old. Xue Ping'an was sad, but he didn't want to show it in front of Cui Zhenyi, so he only said: "Wealth is in the sky, life and death are fate, he was cast in the wrong place, who is to blame?" ”
Cui Zhenyi sneered: "With a father like you, it is true that he has no virtue in his previous life. ”
Xue Ping'an's old face turned red, and he argued forcefully: "Life is not as good as a person, what can it do?" ”
Suddenly, I heard a crisp female voice behind Cui Zhenyi: "I did evil and affected my children and grandchildren, but I was not ashamed to say that I would cut you with a thousand knives, but I dirty the knife of execution." ”
Cui Keyin saw Cui Zhenyi coming on the bamboo tower, so she and Zhou Heng got off the bamboo building, walked closer, and just heard Xue Ping'an's words, and couldn't help but ridicule each other.
Xue Ping'an lowered his head under Cui Keyin's frank gaze. To be honest, how can he not complain in his heart when it comes to today's ending? It's just that he doesn't blame himself, but complains that Wang Zhe is too stupid and throws himself to death; complained that Cui Keyin was too lucky and became the queen. thought to herself, if she only marries an idle prince, or marries a famous son, what can she do if she hates him again? When he came back alive from Sheephorn Fort, wasn't he reused like Tang Tianzheng, and the high-ranking officials couldn't enjoy it? Why did you end up in the situation where you are being bullied today?
Speaking of which, it's still Cui Keyin's fault.
Cui Keyin hated him to the core, and dreamed of killing him to avenge his father, but at this time, the enemy was in front of him, so he only looked at him coldly, until the prison officer came over and said, "The time has come." ”
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Let's execute." ”
The three of them went up to the bamboo building together.
The warden complied, drew a charge on a bamboo stick, and threw it to the ground. The three-way drum sounded, and the executioner took out a specially sharpened knife and walked towards Xue Ping'an.
The onlookers were so excited that they all said, "Look, the execution is coming." ”
A terrible scream covered all the sounds, and Cui Keyin only felt a cold swishing in her back. Zhou Heng said: "If you are afraid, we will go back." ”
"Nope." Cui Keyin said: "I want to see it." ”
The executioner cut off slices of meat about three inches wide and placed them on a plate, slice after slice. Every time he cut a knife, Xue Ping'an let out a terrible scream.
Some people hated Xue Ping'an to the extreme, begging to buy meat with money, and to "eat it raw". The warden agreed, and sold it for five cents a piece of meat, and a plate of meat was quickly snatched up.
Cui Keyin saw the people eating Xue Ping'an's meat raw on the bamboo tower, and she only felt disgusted when she ate blood on her mouth. Zhou Heng frowned when he saw her, so he took her hand and left the bamboo building and got into the carriage.
Cui Zhenyi insisted on leaving to watch, and said: "The minister must see this thief being punished, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart." ”
Cui Keyin cried out: "Uncle," said, "I wonder if my grandmother has ever been sad?" We want to see her. ”
Today's punishment of Xue Ping'an touched the pain of Mrs. Zhang's loss of her son, and she must have been very sad.
Cui Zhenyi said: "The emperor and the mother have to go to the minister's house, and the minister should accompany him." ”
Zhou Heng said: "That's not necessary, let's go and see our grandmother, and we'll be back in a while." (To be continued.) )
