"Please ask the heavens, the heavenly officials, let go, let the villain live a dog......"

It wasn't until he was tied to the stake that Hei Lu, who was still a little depressed, finally came back to his senses, he looked at the Tongzhi master on the stage in horror, and then looked around with a pleading look, but he couldn't say a word at all with a frightened expression.

"Ask for the heavenly officials, ask for the heavenly officials......"

just kept begging, praying that those local officials would have someone to stand up and say a word for him, so as to save his life and let the heavenly officials let him go. However, to his disappointment, even those who had benefited from him did not stand up to speak for him, and even waited for the execution with great interest, even with a look of learning.

Ling Chi.

For the vast majority of these local officials, they are all strangers, many of them do not speak Chinese at all, naturally do not understand Chinese, and naturally do not know what Ling Chi is. Naturally, he was full of curiosity about this Ling Chi's punishment. Even for the party's Hei Luna, although he can speak some Chinese, he doesn't know what Ling Chi is. However, despite this, he could still feel that this Ling Chi was probably an extremely painful punishment.

Just when Hei Lu was tied to the stake, crying and begging, Wei Daoshan, who was standing in front of him, wearing a brocade guard robe, took a step forward and stood opposite him, and then the brocade guard on the side handed him a knife used by Ling Chi into his hand, holding the knife made of stainless steel, the blade was as thin as a cicada's wings, as the hereditary brocade guard of the Wei family, itself is an expert in executioners. And this knife is also a family heirloom.

However, although this knife is a family heirloom, Wei Daoshan has not performed this kind of torture in the past, at most, when he was young, he used to practice knives with monkeys, and these years have been in chaos, just guarding the emperor, at most it is to cut off a head, as for this Ling Chi's craftsmanship, it has long been blunt. Although the craftsmanship is stiff, I still remember the rules of Ling Chi.

Holding the knife in his hand, although he wanted to eat the bones of the Burmese after the brothers died, Wei Daoshan said in a low voice in front of the prisoners.

"The state has national law, and the execution of this hundred households is for the national law, not for personal grudges, offended!"

There are rules for execution, and he also has respect for prisoners, and this is Wei Daoshan's respect. After saying this, he immediately started to tear the clothes on Hei Lu Dao's body, and when he tore open his clothes, he made several cuts with the help of the thin knife like a cicada's wing in his hand.

"Tear ......"

In the sound of the cloth tearing, the clothes on Hei Luna's body were torn off, and the whole person was tied to the stake without a strand of hair.

What the?

Until this time, Hei Luna, who had been torn off his clothes, still didn't react, and after a while, he tried his best to call someone to save him, but his lips couldn't stop trembling, and there was no blood on his face, and even the words couldn't be sentenced.

Although he didn't know what Ling Chi was, he realized that this Ling Chi was probably not as simple as killing him with a single sword. That kind of fear swallowed his whole body in an instant, so that the step was even more loose, and the feces and urine suddenly flowed out.

This fear calmed down Wei Daoshan, who originally felt a little stiff, and at this moment he seemed to be back to when he was seven years old, how his father made him a knife of pork. It was from that time that every time their family ate meat, he used a blade to get it down.

By the time he was fourteen years old and practiced with a monkey for the first time, his heart was as hard as water and his intestines were as hard as iron. At this time, the man tied to the pillar was gone, and in his eyes, the struggling man was just a piece of meat, a piece of meat used to practice knives.

"Spare me, spare me......"

Just as Hei Lu was pleading, Wei Daoshan pinched his chin fiercely with his left hand, revealing one of his teeth, and then the right hand holding the knife slammed towards his teeth, although the blade was as thin as a cicada's wings, but the handle was made of real brass, and the copper handle was quite weighty, and it was like a hammer on his teeth. And then he just banged and banged like this.

In the midst of a burst of screams, Wei Daoshan used the copper handle of the knife as a hammer to knock out all the teeth of Hei Lu Na, at the beginning, he could still scream, but soon he passed out, and when Hei Luna's teeth were knocked out, his eyes rolled and he still did not wake up from the coma.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there were no teeth in Hei Lu's blood-stained mouth, Wei Daoshan moved, his right hand held a knife, the blade that was as thin as a cicada's wings, like a piece of tissue paper, lightly slashed on Hei Lu's chest, and deftly dug it, and the blade like a cicada's wings cut down a six-inch-long piece of meat, not thick or thin, just right, and with a gentle knife, he cut off such a piece of meat.

Blood flowed out, and the flesh was cut off. And at this time, Hei Lu did not wake up from the coma, according to the old words, this first knife is a heavenly knife, do it on behalf of God, there is no need to make the prisoner feel the pain, after all, there are thousands of knives next.

cut the first knife, and when the piece of meat was about to be separated, Wei Daoshan transferred and twisted his wrist according to the rules of this industry, and the tip of the knife easily pierced the piece of meat while the meat was cut off, and then he raised it high, and then showed it to the Tongzhi Lord and the local officials behind him.

A bloody piece of meat was displayed in his hands, and he was no longer an executioner, like a butcher in the market, like a guest display, showing how fresh the meat was.

And the brocade guard on the side stood there and reported loudly:

"The first cut!"

The first knife!

This is Ling Chi's first knife!

And that's just the beginning!

When the bright red meat of the first knife was displayed, Ding Yujie's face on the stage was calm, he could even hear his own heartbeat, and of course he could hear the nervous breathing of those local officials, and for a moment, he could even hear their frightened screams when the first knife was cut, and all the local officials' faces would have changed color.

They were all stunned, they didn't expect that Ling Chi would actually start like this.

This is Ling Chi!

This is a punishment of a thousand cuts!

Although his heart was beating violently, although his hands were also trembling involuntarily, Ding Yujie still pretended to be calm and picked up the fruit from the table, after eating a bite of the fruit, the taste of durian gave him an illusion, it seemed to be the smell of rotten meat, this smell was a little suffocating, but he still endured the vomiting feeling in his heart, and then squinted at this performance, he needed to use this performance to shock everyone.

At this time, he could even feel that the hearts of those local officials were beating unevenly, they were all afraid, everything they witnessed today would be remembered in their hearts for the rest of their lives, and when any of them were born to rebel, today's scene would appear in front of them. It will make them involuntarily afraid.

"Spread the meat to all people!"

With Ding Yujie's order, the piece of meat was dragged on the plate by a brocade guard, and then it was dragged on the plate to be displayed in front of everyone, passing, the bloody meat was displayed in front of the local officials one by one, of course, even Mangda needed to appreciate this piece of meat, and Mangda, who was kneeling on the ground, was already trembling, and he didn't even dare to look at the piece of meat.

At this time, everyone's faces were not bloody, and they were all white. It was a stark contrast to the meat on that tray.

Bright red flesh, pale face.

This is exactly the effect that Ding Yujie wants, at this moment he feels that this fear is exactly what he needs, he must let these local officials understand a truth, the Ming Dynasty is supreme, as the representative of the Ming Emperor, he is also supreme here!

Anyone who betrays the Ming Dynasty must be severely punished!

They will all be punished with the most brutal punishment!

Is it a car crack, or Ling Chi, obviously the latter is more shocking! So he chose Ling Chi! Because it is more ornamental, takes longer, and makes people feel the cruelty of the punishment. Of course, more importantly, you can feel the fear more intuitively.

Fear!

The rule of the natives requires the help of fear, and only fear can make them fearful, and with enough fear, they will respect the authority of the court.

Mu Tianbo, who was sitting in the seat, looked at all this with a calm expression, he looked at these with a bystander mentality, and constantly observed the changes in the expressions of those local officials, in order to get what he needed from them, after all, he must rely on these local officials in the future, so now he needs to master the minds of these local officials.

Maybe in the future, a few more chickens will need to be killed!

For Mu Tianbo, this torture is just a play, Hei Lu is a chicken, as for those local officials, they are monkeys now, and they may become chickens in the future, they deny it.

Thinking like this in his heart, Mu Tianbo picked up the wine glass and tasted the wine, when he looked at the meat, a thought appeared in his heart, if he gave these meats to these local officials and let them share them, I don't know what the effect would be?

Of course, this thought was fleeting, perhaps, he had a grudge against the Burmese for humiliating him, but he would never do such a beastly thing, these barbarians may do it, but he would never!

After taking a sip of wine, Mu Tianbo, who had withdrawn his mind, once again focused his attention on the execution ground, and he was also watching the execution for the first time.

At this time, Wei Daoshan, who was executing, was still continuing, his movements were fast, although he seemed a little stiff, but every knife was very exquisite. Another knife slashed across the left side of Hei Luna's chest, and blood flowed down the ground, some of which flowed down the edge of the knife and dripped onto the red earth, staining it even redder.

At this time, Hei Lu had not yet woken up, but he was slowly regaining his senses, and he let out a few moans that were so subtle that only Wei Daoshan could hear.

This marked that the prisoner was about to wake up, which was expected by Wei Daoshan, according to the rules of the prisoners, during the entire execution process, the prisoners could not be gagged, because it was necessary to make the slaughtered prisoners let out a miserable howl, only in this way could they deter others.

Therefore, the previous tooth smashing instead of extracting the tooth was just to make the other party unconscious, and then knife him in a coma, which is equivalent to sparing him a few knives, but in the end, the prisoner will still wake up, and then they will scream because of the pain, for Wei Daoshan, the test is just the beginning.

Hei Luna, who slowly woke up, immediately felt the pain of being scraped by the Ling knife as soon as he regained consciousness, and when he figured out that the Ming man in front of him was cutting his flesh with a knife, he was still a little dazed at first, and he immediately let out a howl of pain, the sound was not loud at first, but later it became louder and louder, and the cry became more and more miserable, and each cry was heartbreaking.

Although the prisoner was howling in his ear, Wei Daoshan didn't seem to react, he just didn't look at the prisoner, as for this howl, listening to his ears, it was like music, but it could keep him calm, as if he was back in his youth again, when his father stood aside and taught him how to execute.

The knife slashed at the joints of the bones, thus cutting off the head with one slash. How should Ling Chi make people scream more, and how should the car crack exert force...... Execution is a science, a great knowledge, for Wei Daoshan, the Wei family has been doing this for more than 200 years, and he began to study with his father when he was six years old, when he was fifteen years old, the first time he cut off the head of a prisoner, today, is the first time he committed a prisoner, he must remember all this, and pass on this craft to his son and grandson in the future.

Passed down from generation to generation.

It's a craft, a craft that never gets out there.

At this time, Wei Daoshan was like a peerless craftsman, he was concentrating on studying, studying the struggling flesh in front of him, and then cutting the knife down, and then cutting off a piece of meat, so meticulously engaged in his work.

At this time, whenever a piece of meat is removed, the meat is brought to the public in front of the local officials. First the local officials in the front row, then the officers in the back row, and then those local officials and servants with earthy faces and frightened expressions, at this time, some of them were already frightened and weak, and even incontinent, and even worse, some of them had been paralyzed on the ground in fright, looking at the black and reckless with a frightened expression, watching the executioner keep cutting flesh on him.

The reason why they are so frightened is that it is not the leader who is being delayed, but the agitator, but the minister of the leader. In other words, if one day, if their masters plot rebellion, then when they fail, their masters, the local officials, are very likely to save their lives, but they are very likely to be tied to the torture pillar like Heiluna, and then executed by Ling Chi with such a knife!

Because of this, every time they saw Wei Daoshan cutting Hei Lu's meat, listening to his screams, they had the illusion that this scream was made by themselves.

For these people, the ordeal is not over, it is just the beginning. After each knife went down, the brocade guards standing on the side would still report loudly

"The 112th Knife ......"

Ling Chi is actually what the common people call "a thousand cuts". It refers to the cutting of the flesh from the human body when the person is executed, which is a kind of dismemberment punishment, that is, including the cutting and separation of the limbs of the body. According to my Ming law, if ordinary criminals are punished with Ling Chi, they are usually executed by "eight knives". Eight knives, the executioner uses a basket of numbered sharp knives: the first knife, cut the chest; the second knife, cut the outer arm; the third knife, the thigh; The fourth and fifth knives, cut the arm to the elbow; 6th and 7th knives, cut the calf to the knee; The eighth knife, the head of the owl. The dismembered remains were placed in baskets, and the heads were displayed in public for an indefinite period of time. ”

Ding Yujie, who was sitting in the middle of the stage with a teacup, was there chatting and laughing with several nearby local officials, discussing with them the mystery of Ling Chi's execution, of course, this was also a temporary understanding.

In addition to the "Eight Knife Duel", there are generally "Sixteen Knives", "Thirty-two Knives", and "Three Hundred and Sixty Knives...... Of course, this Ling Chi criminal needs to use a few knives, depending on the crime he committed, a great rebel like Hei Lu Da must be punished with the full punishment, and Ling Chi needs to use 3357 knives when the sentence is completed, and in the last knife, that is, the 3357th knife, the criminal must be stabbed to death, so that Ling Chi is successful. Today, let's open our eyes and see how Wei Baihu has completed these 3357 knives! ”

In the midst of talking and laughing, Ding Yujie then picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat, which was a slice of mushu meat, when the tender meat slice was entered, although he felt a little disgusting, and even reminded people of the bright red meat slices on the plate, he still smiled and ate it, and when he ate it, he said to the nearby local officials.

"Don't just watch, eat, eat, drink!"

As he spoke, Ding Yujie picked up his wine glass and said to the pale-faced local official.

"Come, everyone eat meat, eat meat......"

When Ding Yujie invited everyone to eat meat, since it was those remote Tusi Tuguan who still lived a hairthirsty and blood-drinking life in the eyes of many officials in the DPRK and China, it would also be a burst of nausea, especially when the meat slice was displayed in front of them, some of them were even more disgusted and vomited, but Ding Yujie was still eating meat with a smile on his face, and while eating meat, he watched Wei Daoshan's performance. At this time, he even gave birth to a kind of heroic feeling, which may be the artistic conception of "ambition to eat Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood"!

And Wei Daoshan, as the executioner, is like the protagonist on the stage at this time, he is there for a gorgeous performance, he is the center of everyone's attention, at this time he is more like a peerless craftsman, every time he goes down, it seems extremely accurate, he needs to use 3357 knives, which is the requirement of execution.

It is also because of this that every knife in Ling Chi is very particular, where to get the knife, the interval between each knife, it is necessary to take into account the gender and physique of the prisoner, so as to avoid dying when he is tortured, if the prisoner has been killed without cutting enough knives, it is the executioner's mistake, although most of the time, the government does not pursue this responsibility, but sometimes, such a mistake even has to lose the head.

That's why his father often said that this Ling Chi punishment is the most difficult job in the hands of all executioners, every piece of meat, how to cut, how to take, has its particulars, how to cut the breast, how to take the arm meat, how to avoid the blood vessels, every knife has its particulars, especially to avoid the blood vessels in the meat, otherwise, a knife down, the blood flow is not to mention, the person will soon die. Naturally, it is impossible to be full.

Therefore, this also requires that when the execution is carried out, in addition to maintaining a calm mind, it is also necessary to be meticulous, and every knife must be careful and careful, and at the same time, it is necessary to be decisive, without the slightest hesitation, and there is no time to hesitate, after all, the blood of the prisoner is flowing, and if you hesitate, the prisoner will bleed to death.

Moreover, the human body is also extremely complex, and each piece of meat on the body has its own direction, and even the meat has its own differences, some of the meat is tight, some of the meat is loose, and how to cut it, how to take it, the direction of the knife, the size of the force, and so on, all depend on the instant decision made by the executioner, and this decision is directly related to whether or not the execution can be carried out well.

If there is a slight deviation, it is very likely to make the wrong knife, and once the knife is wrong, it is impossible to make a full decision.

"This Ling Chi is said to be using a knife, but it is using the heart, and every knife has every knife to pay attention to!"

Dad's words rang in Wei Daoshan's ears again.

So throughout the ages, only the executioner who is full of Ling Chi is the real executioner. Outsiders think that this Ling Chi is just cutting people apart. But who knows that cutting people apart is not Ling Chi.

This Ling Chi, one is Ling, the other is Chi, Ling is a piece of meat, and Chi is the later people die, the better.

He had heard that some people could cut off the breasts of a prisoner, so that all their internal organs and abdomen were exposed, but they would not fall out of their ugliness, and they could see the beating of their hearts through the bones, but that was only a few hundred cuts.

But nowadays, few people can do it, and even if they can, they won't do it. Not to mention the executioner in the ordinary prefecture and county, even if he is a hereditary like him, sometimes he cuts corners and reduces his strength, and Ling Chi, who was obviously sentenced to 360 knives, is not bad to be able to cut one or two hundred knives, but it is more to unload the people into eight pieces, poke them to death and pull them down.

Of course, the reason for this is that the prisoner's family has used silver, and if the money is used, even if it is a "duel with eight swords", a skilled executioner can kill the person with the first sword.

The first-class executioner can use 3357 knives to prevent people from dying, and can also make people keep the crime clear, so that he can keep screaming, which is also the intention of breaking his teeth, to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, to make him howl, just so that his cry can be heard by everyone, so that everyone can feel the pain he endured.

This is the purpose of Ling Chi!

This punishment is for others to see, and this cry is naturally for others to hear!

As for this criminal, it's just a tool!
