This question can be asked by Li Dingguo.

Hong Chengchou must be the No. 1 traitor in Tianzi, and he is naturally divided by capital punishment.

But if it's just a beheading, it's a little too cheap, and if you want to think of some complicated tricks, you will inevitably be said to be a cruel and unkind person.

Li Dingguo actually doesn't care much about other people's opinions. I was afraid that the Son of Heaven would despise and dislike him because of this.

After thinking about it, Li Dingguo still gave a decent answer.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that the flood thieves should be punished with Ling Chi."

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, and Ling Chi's execution was quite severe.

"I don't think Ling Chi alone is enough to punish this thief."

Zhu Youlang disagreed.

At this time, everyone was even more shocked.

Throughout the ages, Ling Chi can be regarded as the most severe torture. The Son of Heaven felt that Ling Chi was not enough to punish Hong Chengchou, so what else could he come up with?

For a while, everyone whispered.

"Brother, what punishment do you think can be used?"

Yuan Zongdi whispered to Liu Tichun.

Liu Tichun frowned and didn't speak, and after a long time he coughed and said, "Maybe you can try to use the five horses to split the corpse?" ”

Yuan Zongdi shook his head again and again when he heard this: "This is not good, the five horses are divided into corpses and look bloody, in fact, the head is pulled off first, and the limbs are broken later, and the pain felt by the Hong thief is similar to that of beheading." No, it's not interesting! ”

Li Laiheng interjected: "Maybe you can cook or cook the Hong thief?" ”

Even Yuan Zongdi couldn't listen to it anymore, and shook his head again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" ”

"Why not! Did the elder brother think it was too cruel to execute the flood thief like this? ”

Liu Tichun was a little puzzled.

"Not really."

Yuan Zongdi lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you really don't understand or pretend to be confused." ”

He paused and said: "When Luoyang was first attacked, King Chuang boiled King Fu, which was a cauldron of raw cooking." Although he is very fierce and very relieved, he is a cousin of today's son after all. ”

Yuan Zongdi said in a low voice: "Although Your Majesty may not have any feelings for King Fu, at least you have to make something on the face, right?" Even if you pretend to be bloody, it's thicker than water. ”

Liu Tichun thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth.

In any case, their origins are all thieves, and even if they have now been whitewashed and valued by His Majesty, they are still very taboo for others to mention.

In case a villain takes this point and attacks it, the Thirteen Kuidong families will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Although it seems that the Son of Heaven is not a small-minded person, even a saint can't stand the pry of a villain.

A villain around you says you may not believe it, but what about ten people? Can you still keep your original intention?

The Thirteen Kuidong families have finally achieved the current situation, and naturally they don't want to fall short.

"Your Majesty, if you see the cooking of the Hong thief and think of the old things about King Fu, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable. At that time, even if His Majesty doesn't say it, he will give us a good look later. ”

Yuan Zongdi's words were still very convincing, and Liu Tichun also felt that he could not evoke His Majesty's memories of Li Chuang's disgraceful things at this time.

"Then we just won't come out."

Liu Tichun muttered in a low voice: "Let King Jin and King Zhong fight." ”

Yuan Zongdi echoed: "Yes." Let them fight, anyway, the flood thieves are dead, so we don't have to worry about it here. ”

Zhu Youlang saw that there was no movement from the thirteen families in Kuidong, so he turned to ask Zheng Chenggong. Reading the Book House

Anyway, he must have solicited everyone's opinions before killing Hong Chengchou, and he must think about how to kill him, after all, there are not many big traitors like Hong Chengchou, and he finally has an opportunity to take the opportunity to deter those who are ready to do things for the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhu Youlang naturally has to make good use of it.

Zheng Chenggong is very big.

Although he was strict in his army, he was not a murderer, let alone a penchant for torture.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong didn't know a lot about torture, and he still heard Zhang Huangyan mention it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that he might be able to cut the thief in half."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Chenggong's face turned red.

The crowd was a little disappointed.

The waist cut is not as good as Ling Chi, Zheng Chenggong is too merciful.

For a long time, the Ming army was suppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was not easy to get today's results, so I naturally wanted to vent it. If you don't have a good taste of Hong Chengchou's human blood steamed buns, wouldn't you be sorry for all these years of hard work?

Therefore, the soldiers of the Ming army not only looked forward to the way His Majesty executed Hong Chengchou, but even gambled excitedly. Those who gamble can naturally eat two meals of wine and food, and then enjoy the envious eyes of others.

"What does Zhang Benbing think?"

Zhu Youlang turned to Zhang Huangyan again.

After all, Zheng Chenggong is from Jiangmen, and he is used to being high-minded and does not pay much attention to criminal matters.

Zhang Huangyan is different.

Zhang Huangyan came from the bottom, and he was born at the grassroots level, and after the uprising against the Qing Dynasty, he not only had to deal with military and government affairs, but also had to worry about criminal punishment.

Zhang Huangyan must know a lot more about the dark side of human nature than Zheng Chenggong.

Zhang Huangyan smiled slightly, obviously not expecting His Majesty to ask him.

But since His Majesty asked, he should have marked it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the thief should peel the skin and make a scarecrow to warn the world."

As soon as Zhang Huangyan spoke, he weighed Zhu Youlang's mind.

The process of killing Hong Chengchou itself is not important. The important thing is to be able to deter Xiaoxiao, and it is best to continue this effect for a period of time afterward.

However, because the corpse will decompose, it is difficult to preserve even the head for a long time after treatment.

Some of the torture mentioned above can only have such an effect in the short term, but it is not sustainable.

However, the method proposed by Zhang Huangyan can let people see the end of fighting against the Ming Dynasty as a Manchu lackey and a traitor for several years.

To put it mildly, the routine of peeling the skin and grass was invented by Zhu Youlang's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Emperor Taizu got up recklessly, suffered a lot since he was a child, and could only become a novice in order to survive.

He naturally hated those corrupt officials when he was a child.

After he became the Son of Heaven, he formulated a very strict law, stipulating that officials who embezzled more than a certain amount would be executed.

The method of execution is also very special, after the execution, the skin is peeled and the grass is peeled, and the scarecrow wrapped in leather is set up in front of the yamen to warn future generations.

Later, Emperor Zhengde also used this method to deal with traitors, and the effect was indeed very good.

It is indeed a good way to deal with Hong Chengchou with this method, which can not only satisfy the soldiers but also warn the people.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, the skin was peeled off after the prisoner was executed.

Zhu Youlang decided to make some improvements and peel Hong Chengchou alive!
