Chapter 61: Punishment or Sawing?

"The end of the Ming Dynasty? Lingnan Sanzhong? ”

Yang Yingju and the Sitku Center both had doubts about Zhang Rui's words at the same time

Who are these people and what have they done? Q: What does this do? Who knows what happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"What is this for, you ask? Who knows what happened so long ago at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, it has only been a little more than a year since this official went from Gansu to Guangdong to do this Liangguang governor. Where to know these. Yang Yingju replied honestly

"I don't know! That's right..."Zhang Rui looked a little surprised, and then after thinking about it, he nodded and said

"Your master should want to bury these things in the ground forever, so it's normal not to want people to know."

"Lingnan Sanzhong is talking about Chen Bangyan, Chen Zizhuang, and Zhang Jiayu, three heroes of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Chen Bangyan and Chen Zizhuang were in Qingyuan, not far from here, and they were defeated and captured and killed by your Qing soldiers. ”

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, vainly trying to shake the tree, do not measure themselves. Dare to block the prestige of my Qing Dynasty, it is normal to be defeated and captured, so what's the point? When Yang Yingju heard Zhang Rui's words, he couldn't help but comment proudly, as if he was still hinting at something.

"This belongs to each of his masters, and it is normal for the army to be defeated and captured. But you Qing soldiers have been 'punished' against Chen Bangyan among them, and you should understand the punishment, which is to cut off flesh and bones, cut off limbs, and then cut off your throat. That is what ordinary people call Ling Chi. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Sitku asked, with a bad premonition rising in his heart

"You don't have to ask in a hurry, just listen to me first. There is also a man named Chen Zizhuang, who was sentenced to 'sawing' by your Qing Dynasty after he was defeated and captured. ”

That is, sawing a person in two pieces from the top of his head down. But because the human body is shaking, it cannot be sawed down. It is said that at that time, Chen Zizhuang shouted to the executioner: "Stupid man, the people in the realm (saw) need to use wooden planks!" Only then did the executioner understand the method of executing with a saw. That's why you, the Qing Dynasty, have been able to torture all the time. ”

Zhang Rui paused when he said this, stared at Yang Yingju, who was already sitting on the ground at this time, and said

"Coincidentally, the one who gave him the 'saw punishment' was also the governor of Liangguang, called Tong Yangjia. The execution was still in the city of Guangzhou, and he called the gentry in Guangzhou to watch. Therefore, there is still an allusion to "people in the world must use boards", which is spread among the fathers and elders in Guangzhou. ”

"What the hell are you trying to do with these things?" Listening to Zhang Rui's bloody description, Yang Yingju was really a little scared in his heart.

"Nothing, I just wondered if I should do something that suited my identity." Zhang Rui said with a smile that he thought was the most sincere and sunny

This smile looked so terrifying in the eyes of Yang Yingju and Sitku, like a fierce beast watching them. It will devour them at any time

"Who are you? Want to do something? Yang Yingju was afraid in his heart, and asked anxiously

"What else can it be? Didn't I be made a thief by your Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen! Since you are an anti-thief, you should do something that an anti-thief should do, right? For example, kill some high-ranking civilian and military generals to declare their existence. Saying that, Zhang Rui still has some innocent looks

"Yes,... Wrong... That, that... You... Want to saw me? Yang Yingju subconsciously replied to Zhang Rui, and then said a little incoherently.

"Hey... You got it right. It's a pity that there are no rewards, so be it! After sawing you apart in a moment, I'll call the beauties of my medical team to help you stitch them together. It can be regarded as giving you a whole corpse as your reward! Zhang Rui looked at Yang Yingju, who was already sitting on the ground, like a cat staring at a mouse

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, Yang Yingju was actually scared out of his urine and wet his pants.

"Saw Execution."

Oh, my God! This is a criminal law that has to be invented without conscience.

At this time, Yang Yingju greeted the eighteenth generation of Tong Yangjia's ancestors who invented "sawing" several times in his heart.

Yang Yingju admits that he is not a hero and does not have the courage to die for his country. will not be like that Chen Zizhuang, who can still be calm in the face of this cruel "sawing punishment".

If you haven't been beaten, you won't know the pain, and if you don't understand the pain, you won't understand the beauty of life.

If he could, Yang Yingju hoped that all he saw and heard at this time was a dream. After he woke up, he still slept next to his beloved concubine.

"If you knew earlier, you wouldn't be greedy for credit, and you won't have these things if you stay in Guangzhou City." Yang Yingju felt remorse in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take a knife and stab himself twice to relieve his anger

"Since he, the governor of Liangguang, is going to be 'sawed to death', then you, the general, are going to be 'punished'. It's exactly one person, so there's no need to fight. Zhang Rui looked at Sitku on the side and said very fairly

After hearing Zhang Rui's words, Sitku, who thought he could escape the catastrophe, was also stunned and sat down on the ground.

"That Zhang Rui... No, Sixth Brother, this official... Oh... I... I'm not the same person with that Tong Yangjia at all. Sixth brother, see if you can let me go, I'm willing to pay no matter what the price. I swear I will never come back to harass you again. Even if Qianlong personally came down to beat you, I won't follow again..."

Since Zhang Rui had just untied the rope that bound him, Yang Yingju thought that Zhang Rui must still be afraid of the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom, and if he didn't want to die, he would have to spin the machine for himself, the governor of Liangguang.

Since Zhang Rui asked him, he dared to be polite to Zhang Rui.

So Yang Yingju didn't feel that he would be killed at all, so why didn't he behave loyally? Maybe it will be a good story in the future?

It was precisely because Zhang Rui personally untied the rope for Yang Yingju that he gave him an illusion. made him think that Zhang Rui had no killing intent towards him, and thought that even if he was captured, he still had hope of living.

How do you know that he is such a thief, and he can't figure out what he says and does at all.

People are like this, if they know that they will die, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death when they think that they do not have to die and want to die.

This was the case when the Manchus trained Han Chinese slaves.

At this time, Yang Yingju was really scared, he was afraid that Zhang Rui would really kill him like this. You must know that he has worked hard for decades, and he has only just sat on the throne of the governor of Liangguang for a year.

I didn't feel sad if I died when I was captured at first, but now.

"Are you going to die? I still want to be 'sawed' to a tragic death, I am really unwilling. ”

Yang Yingju's subconscious kept reminding him that there was no one around him at this time. He no longer cared about his face, so he knelt in front of Zhang Rui and begged for mercy at Zhang Rui.

When Sitku saw a governor of Liangguang like this, what face did he need?

So, Sitku also followed Yang Yingju and kept kowtowing to Zhang Rui and begging for mercy.

"Loyal to the country? To put it lightly, it wasn't you who was chopped, of course it sounded good. When I die, there is nothing left, and the money, fields, and land that I have worked so hard to get have not been able to enjoy properly. It's not worth dying like that. "Sitku kept reminding himself that he absolutely had to live

"Anyway, I won't be the general of Guangzhou in the future, as long as I can escape this disaster this time. The money I have made in the past few years is enough for me to spend a lifetime, if not, I will give a little more money to the above, and transfer me out of Guangdong. ”

Hong Hu, who was sentry for them in the distance, looked at the movement here, and couldn't stop worshiping Zhang Rui in his heart.

How many hands and feet did he just use to force the two of them to kneel. But the sixth brother said something to them, and they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy at this time. Is this the gap between people?

"Sure enough, you have to follow the sixth brother closely to study, there are too many things to learn." Hong Hu muttered, and then continued to guard Zhang Rui, not letting others disturb them.

As a modern person, Zhang Rui will be a little unaccustomed to watching people keep kowtowing to him and begging for mercy. Especially thinking that these two people are completely over 100 years old, it will be even more unbearable.

However, Zhang Rui had to remind himself in his heart that putting away his ridiculous kindness was to get used to it no matter how unaccustomed he was.

This is a world where people eat people, and if it is himself who is defeated and captured at this time, then he probably won't even have a chance to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Because this is in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is like this in this era, if you don't kowtow to them, they will feel insecure.

looked at the two who kept kowtowing to themselves and begging for mercy for a while. Zhang Rui said helplessly to the two of them

"Oh, you're embarrassing me. You must know that I am an anti-thief, if I don't kill a few officials, how can I be worthy of my identity as an anti-thief? So be it! The choice is yours whether you want to be tortured or sawed! ”
