Chapter 536: Kaifeng Mansion's Guillotine!
Not only did Wu Zhi freeze in place, but Qin Hui's face beside him also turned pale,
On the other hand, Peng Shun on the side was calm and relaxed, and there was nothing unusual at all, and after he saw Wu Zhi and Qin Hui's color change, he just smiled darkly, as if he had expected them to be like this.
"The two adults were suddenly a little panicked," Peng Shun asked with a smile.
Wu Zhi came back to his senses, only to find that Qin Hui was also in the same state as himself, and then looked at Peng Shun's determined face, and suddenly asked puzzled: "Here, why is there such an aura?"
Wu Zhi straightened his expression and tried his best to make himself appear calm.
"Don't mind, my lord, this is the place of great trouble in our Kaifeng Mansion, but anyone who comes here for the first time will have a gaffe, the two adults are just slightly discolored, which is already very remarkable" Peng Shun was relieved, indeed, Wu Zhi and Qin Hui did not collapse and fall to the ground for the first time here, which is already very rare.
"Oh"
Still chilly behind him, Wu Zhi looked around, he was just standing under the porch of a house far away from the morgue, the surroundings were empty, and there was nothing special about the carved frame walls of pasted paper that came out of the pillars.
"Even if it's a place of great evil, but we are so far away from the morgue, why are we still affected" Qin Hui asked puzzled, "And just now we entered the morgue, we didn't have such a terrifying feeling."
In Qin Hui's view, the heavy place of Kaifeng Mansion is naturally a morgue.
"No, no, no"
Peng Shun shook his head, and then led Wu Zhi and Qin Hui to the middle of the courtyard, and said: "The morgue is heavy, and it is a place of great evil in any yamen, but our Kaifeng Mansion is different from all the yamen in the world" Peng Shun walked to the courtyard with a little pride in his tone, he raised his hand, pointed to a place and said to Wu Zhi Qin Hui: "The place where our Kaifeng Mansion is most evil is here."
"Evil Suppression Hall"
Wu Zhi and Qin Hui were stunned, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they saw that there was a plaque with a pitch-black background and miserable white characters hanging above the main entrance of the house, with three vigorous characters on it, "Suppressing Evil Hall"
"Not bad" Seeing that Wu Zhi and Qin Hui seemed to have guessed something, Peng Shun said proudly: "Don't say that this is the place where Kaifeng Mansion has the heaviest evil qi, even if you look at the whole world of Bianjing, there is no place where the evil qi can compare to the evil spirit hall where Kaifeng Mansion stores dragons, tigers, and dogs."
"It turned out to be the place where the three guillotines of Kaifeng Mansion were stored, no wonder the evil spirit was so pressing, no wonder, no wonder"
Wu Zhi was a little excited, sighing, these three guillotines have an extraordinary origin, and they have killed countless traitors and evildoers, but it is understandable to have this evil spirit. The key material for making these three guillotines is derived from the three ancient demon knives, the demon knives are already evil and awe-inspiring, coupled with the power of the murder weapon, it is no wonder that Wu Zhi was shocked by the aura just now.
And the reason why Wu Zhi feels a little familiar is because the materials used in the saber "broken army" given to Wu Song by the imperial court are the same as the three guillotines in Kaifeng Mansion.
"The legendary dragon and tiger dog guillotine of Lord Bao must be visited"
Although it was the first time to come to this town in front of the evil hall, the surprise in Wu Zhi's heart was incomprehensible to Qin Hui, Bao Qingtian's three guillotines were accompanied by Wu Zhi's childhood in his previous life, and it was "faith" that can be imagined, and now he can see the legendary existence with his own eyes, how excited Wu Zhi is.
"Master Peng, where is the key to this room to get quickly, the official wants to go in and take a look"
"The key is on Xia Guan, and Xia Guan will open the door for the adult."
Peng Shun took out the key and walked to the gate with Wu Zhi and Qin Hui.
"Master Peng, I heard that the three guillotines in Kaifeng Mansion were not stored in the Evil Killing Hall, why have they become the Evil Suppression Hall now?"
When Peng Shun unlocked the lock, Qin Hui asked casually.
"Lord Qin's knowledge of the past and the present, I admire it." Peng Shun explained: "In the past, it was indeed called the Evil Killing Hall, but because of my benevolent government, ordinary criminals, even if they are extremely vicious, are at most assigned to Shamen Island, and rarely beheaded, so after the ninth governor of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Baozheng Bao Longtu, was in charge, these three guillotines have never been used again, and have been sealed here." ”
Every civilized society is like this, the more civilized the society, the fewer people will be killed by the criminal law, the Song Dynasty is typical, to Zhao Ji's generation, as long as it is not a rebellion or extremely heinous crime, the court will generally not sentence the beheading, after all, this is the court of the literati, and it is more indecent to cut people and bleed
Peng Shun continued: "When the former Emperor Yin was in office, he renamed this place as the Zhenyi Hall. ”
In the previous dynasty, there was only one Wang Xianggong who served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, that is, Wang Anshi, who was attacked by the old party in the later stage of the reform. It would be the period of Song Shenzong, Shenzong was Zhao Ji's father, Zhezong, who died young, was Zhao Ji's brother, and the throne passed to Song Huizong Zhao Ji was actually not too young, so it is no wonder that Qin Hui didn't know.
"I see"
As he spoke, Peng Shun had already opened the door, and a cold and terrifying aura suddenly came out of the dim room, fortunately, Wu Zhi and Qin Hui had slowly adapted to it, and besides, this kind of evil qi was just to ward off evil spirits, and it was not harmful to the human body, so the more you endured it, the more spiritual it was.
Under the leadership of Peng Shun, Wu Zhi and Qin Hui stepped into the room.
The room was very empty, but the floor and the surrounding doorposts were very clean, and it was obvious that people often came in to clean them, and there was a tablet standing in front of the main gate, and it was not any god mansion that was worshipped, but heaven and earth
The three half-human-high huge guillotines were placed on the left side of the room, covered with a brand new red silk cloth, and just looking at the raised outline of the red silk cloth, people could already vaguely feel the domineering of the guillotine.
"This is the holy land of our Kaifeng Mansion, and it is the majesty of the past dynasties, whether it is the governor or the officials, who have been very careful to maintain the majesty here, and now this place is mainly taken care of by me."
Peng Shun said as he carefully picked up the corner of the red silk cloth, wanting to let the dragon tiger dog guillotine reveal its true face.
Wu Zhi nodded slightly, for this point alone, Peng Shun is still worthy of praise.
"Wait"
Just when Peng Shun was about to lift the red cloth, Wu Zhi stopped him.
"Adult"
"Don't rush to lift it yet." Wu Zhi motioned for Peng Shun to put down his hand and asked, "These three guillotines are really after Lord Bao, and they haven't killed criminals."
"Yes, there are so many powerful people in Bianjing, even ordinary people can find the way to the powerful, it's not a secret, not only has this guillotine not been used since Lord Bao, but even Kaifeng Mansion has hardly sentenced a single case of death since Lord Bao." Peng Shun said helplessly.
The three guillotines of Kaifeng Mansion were set up by Song Taizong when he was the first governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and the dragon head was specially beheaded as a traitor and a relative of the imperial family; the tiger head is dedicated to beheading the military generals and officials who violate the law in the imperial court; The dog's head is the villain of the market.
These three guillotines have gone through several generations of powerful mansions, killing countless powerful and evil people, there are Song generation in the hands of Taizong, Zhao Pu, Bao Zheng, and even have the privilege of cutting first and then playing against the sky, but as the saying goes, three generations produce a nobleman, for a country, three generations have developed, the development is not only national strength, but also countless powerful families, and more and more attention to human life, even if Bao Zheng is alive, I am afraid that he will not dare to kill a powerful person or even the people who do evil at will.
"So if I solve the case of the Sun family, can I use these three guillotines," Wu Zhi asked Yuyou.
Hearing this, Peng Shun was immediately stunned, but it was Qin Hui, who looked at Wu Zhi with incredible eyes, and immediately analyzed it for Wu Zhi.
"Once the murderer of this kind of assassination of the minister of the imperial court is found, he will definitely be sentenced to death, but according to the normal process, this kind of shocking case, after the investigation of Kaifeng Mansion, is finally handed over to Dali Temple for trial. However, Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "However, the official family has already issued a holy decree, and the case of the Sun family's extermination will be investigated and tried by you, your lord, if you really solve this case, it is not impossible to use this guillotine."
Qin Hui swallowed his saliva, Wu Zhi actually wanted to restart this guillotine to kill, which was equivalent to taking over the mantle of Lord Bao, and this mind made him admire it very much.
"Your Excellency really plans to restart the Dragon Tiger Dog Guillotine," Peng Shun also looked incredulous.
"Haha."
Wu Zhi chuckled and approached the three guillotines, touched the majestic dragon and tiger head through the red silk, and said leisurely: "This is a peerless murder weapon, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it to kill the evil in the world."
Qin Hui and Peng Shun looked forward to it
"So, let's not look at the real face of the three-seat guillotine now."
After speaking, Wu Zhi turned around and strode towards the door, the reason why Wu Zhi didn't look at the guillotine was because he felt that since it was a big murder weapon to maintain justice in the world, wouldn't it be blasphemous to visit it for no reason
"The day the red silk is lifted, it is the time when blood is splashed in Kaifeng Mansion"
Walking out of the town evil hall, Wu Zhi looked up at the bright sky and made a grand wish.
