The Criminal Department soon sent someone to set up a trial table.

Daming Daily vigorously publicized that the people were talking about the trial of the traitor three days later, and most of them scolded and relieved themselves.

Three days later, he was put on death row at the Ministry of Punishment.

The jailer delivered three sumptuous portions of food to Li Huaxi, Lan Tian, and Zhang Tao.

At this moment, Li Huaxi, Lan Tian, and Zhang Tao were wearing prison clothes, covering their faces, and they were very embarrassed.

Seeing these three such sumptuous food, the three of them seemed to have anticipated their fate, Lan Tian did not hesitate to grab a roast chicken and take the lead in eating it, Zhang Tao and Li Huaxi then did not show weakness, and also began to eat, the three of them cried while eating, regretting that they were not at the beginning, there is no doubt that this must be their last meal.

Death is also a full ghost. That's the only thing the trio have on their minds at the moment.

Soon the three of them ate most of the food, and even each of them poured a pot of wine, and their stomachs slowly became full.

Several jailers watched it all.

"Eat, eat all the food, and drink more wine, or you won't have the strength to hold on until the end of the execution!" One of the jailers suddenly looked at the three of them with a smile and said, although he was smiling, as long as he looked closely, he could see the strong hatred in his expression, and the tone just now was full of penetrating salient meaning, so that Li Huaxi and the three couldn't help but be frightened when they heard it.

"Hey, hey!" This jailer hates Li Huaxi and the three traitors more than others, because he has an elder brother who died in Xuzhou, and the reason why Xuzhou has suffered such heavy casualties is mainly because of these three people, how can this jailer not hate, but he can already predict the fate of these three people, so he will wait to see it with his own eyes for a while.

"Are we going to be beheaded soon?" Li Huaxi heard something strange from the jailer's words just now, and asked with some uncertainty, his eyes were full of fear, maybe beheading was already their best end.

"Decapitation? Think beautifully! How can you atone for your sins without the last 3,600 knives, and how can you let the souls of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Xuzhou War rest in peace, including Lao Tzu's eldest brother! ”

Three thousand six hundred dollars? This is a punishment of a thousand cuts!

"Nope! You can't do that! Li Huaxi shouted in horror, he was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of the pain of a thousand cuts, this was the most painful punishment, how could he not be afraid, his body trembled involuntarily.

Not only Li Huaxi, but Lan Tian and Zhang Tao also screamed in horror, and their faces were like ashes!

Suddenly, as soon as Li Huaxi's mouth moved, he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, no matter what, he didn't want to suffer a thousand knives before he died.

"I want to die! It's not that easy! The jailer had already guarded against this, and instantly pinched Li Huaxi's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue, and finally removed his chin, making it impossible for this dog traitor to bite his tongue.

Lan Tian and Zhang Tao were the same, they also wanted to bite their tongues and commit suicide, but they were stopped!

When the hour came, the three were loaded into a prisoner's cart and transported to the judgment table.

"Kill the dog traitor!"

"Kill the dog traitor!"

Everyone hates traitors, since they knew that Li Huaxi and the three of them were going to be tried today, the people had prepared rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves and other things early, and some people even brought in the stinky dung, although the stench of the dung filled most of the streets, but the people's hatred for the traitors made them ignore the stench of the dung.

When Li Huaxi and the three were transported to the judgment seat, their bodies were already covered with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, dung and other things, which was simply stinking and smelly, and one of the jailers who stepped forward to escort the three out of the prison car couldn't help but vomit on the spot, it was really smelly.

In order not to affect the trial and execution for a while, all the clothes on the three people's bodies were clear, and their dirty and ugly bodies were exposed to the eyes of the people, causing a wave of contempt among the people.

All three of them were tied to the cross to await trial.

"The emperor has arrived!" Zhu Cihong personally attended the trial.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat!"

After Zhu Cihong ascended the high platform, he glanced at Zhao Dequan, the chief eunuch.

"The trial begins!" Zhao Dequan, the chief eunuch, announced loudly.

Zhu Cihong stood on a high platform, facing the people.

"What a traitor! Whoever takes refuge in a foreign race, betrays the country, betrays the nation, and acts for the tiger when a foreign invades is a traitor! Traitors are more hateful than invading aliens! If it is a foreign invasion, everyone is not afraid of death, united, who dares to invade our Han thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! Without the existence of traitors, the Qing captives with a population of less than one million are in great trouble with my Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for them to enter the customs, let alone occupy half of my country! I don't hate Li Zicheng, I don't hate Zhang Xianzhong, although they are equally cruel and have killed hundreds of people, but they are my Han people after all, it was the Ming Dynasty who did not let them be fed and clothed, they rebelled in desperation, I can understand it, but traitors! I must not hate, let alone forgive! For traitors, I only have one word to kill! , resolutely kill them all, without mercy, I want to let them never be reborn! ”

Zhu Cihong's words went to the hearts of the people, which resonated with the people, and the people below immediately burst out with a shocking shout: "Long live the emperor!" Long live the Ming Dynasty! Traitors should be damned! Kill all traitors! ”

After letting the people vent for a while, Zhu Cihong raised his hand to signal the people to be quiet for a while, and then continued.

"Lee Hwa Hee! Originally the general army of Xuzhou, since last year's surrender to the enemy and betrayed the country, resulting in the fall of Jinan City, the people of Shandong were brutally enslaved by the Qing captives, the battle of Xuzhou provided a secret passage to the city for the Qing captives, resulting in the Qing captives attacking Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in the city suffered, and the crime was serious! Lan Tian, Zhang Tao! Originally a general of the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Xuzhou surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Qing captives should cooperate with the outside world, resulting in the Qing captives being able to attack Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people suffered, and the crime was serious! I declare that these three traitors will be sentenced to death with a thousand cuts! ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the executioner threw out a red token: "Execution!" ”

"A thousand cuts! "A thousand cuts" The people were all angry when they heard that the traitor was sentenced to death with a thousand cuts!

The three executioners each walked up to Li Huaxi, Lan Tian, and Zhang Tao, and immediately sent the slashers covered with red cloth.

As the executioner lifted the red cloth and held the knife in his hand, the punishment of a thousand knives began.

Li Huaxi and the three of them stared at each other, their bodies trembled, and they wanted to scream and beg for mercy in horror, but unfortunately, in order to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, their mouths had been gagged with cloth balls, and they couldn't shout.

The executioner's first knife cut off the eyelids of the three people, so that they could not close their eyes, but could only watch themselves being sentenced to death one by one.
