Chapter 708: Red Difference
compare
Since ancient times, "those who plot rebellion will never wait for the time" wanted to be executed with a pen, so the Criminal Department wrote a criminal card overnight, and moved the text to Shuntianfu, ordering it to arrange the law field properly before dawn the next day, and send soldiers to maintain order.
After breakfast, Huang Guangsheng ordered more than 500 soldiers from the Criminal Department, all of whom were waiting in front of the prison gate. At the time of the card, the squire of the criminal department entered the prison in person, and announced the holy decree to Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen in person, Yan Shifan Ling Chi, Luo Longwen was beheaded, in addition, the family members who were arrested with them were also killed, including Yan Shifan's two sons, Yan Hong and Yan Shaoting, as well as his henchmen and slaves, minions, Luo Longwen's younger brother and cousin. There were more than 20 people in total, all of whom were sentenced to death and escorted to the execution ground together.
Yan Shifan has a total of three sons, the two who were hooked up were the eldest and the third, and the second Yan Yu. is not in the list of beheadings, it seems that after leaving a piece for the Yan family, he will take care of the old Yan Song, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is actually because Xu Ge's granddaughter is married to Yan Que.
After a night of suffering, Yan Shifan has regained his calm, and he said to Luo Longwen: "Lao Tzu has no other scenery in his life, and he can't ruin his reputation for a lifetime when he comes, even if he pretends to be, we have to pretend to be a gentleman!" Therefore, the official gave him a set of clothes, but he resolutely refused to wear it, and he resolutely refused to give him a curled hair, and he must not damage his "brilliance." Image.
Luo Longwen didn't have his mood, his mind was messy all night, and the people and things in the past flashed in front of him like a marquee. By dawn, he figured it out, and this was all retribution. If there is really an afterlife, I hope to become an ordinary person with no ambition and live a dull life.
However, although he is very obedient to officials, he also has requirements, that is, when he curls his hair, only the left half of his hair is curled, and the right half of his hair is scattered to block his puffy face, and he does not want to scare others.
After all, they are not ordinary people, and the officials asked for instructions from the peak, so they no longer forced their dress and appearance, and drove them to the front of the blue-faced sage case, and joined the other people who still had to ask questions, and a group of relatives and friends looked at each other, and the two of them had a lot of resentment at the beginning, but when they really met, they had mixed feelings and cried.
"Silence". The officials were afraid of making some kind of trouble. Quickly separated the crying death row inmates, and then each had a bowl of long rest dinner and a bowl of farewell wine.
"I don't eat this;!" There was no meat in the bowl. Yan Shifan asked: "I want to eat the sauce elbow of the Tianfu!" ”
The official said helplessly: "Didn't you have a table to eat last night?" ”
"Your family eats for two days?. Yan Shifan shouted: "Aren't these requirements met? ”
"I can't." A voice interrupted his nonsense, and Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the criminal department with a face as pale as iron, appeared in front of everyone and said, "What time is it, it's still in this ink, and if you don't eat, you'll be hungry on the road."
"Yes," the officials were silent, and they didn't dare to say anything.
"Xiao Huang, your arrogance is soaring." Yan Shifan looked at him with a sarcastic expression and said: "I forgot that I had a small pavilion old man at the beginning, and it was time to ask to see him outside my door, before the fall of the Yan Party, Huang Guangsheng was just the right attendant of the Criminal Department. Under He Bin and Tu Li, although they are not members of the Yan Party, they are also indispensable for some hypocrisy and grievances, this Xuan was broken by Yan Shifan, and his old face turned red and said: "Let him say anything!" ”
Immediately, an official messenger stepped forward. strangled Yan Shifan's mouth with a leather strip. He couldn't speak. But there was still a mockery on his face.
When Yan Shifan and other prisoners were escorted to the prisoner car and drove out of the prison temple, the street was already full of people watching the excitement, although everyone didn't know who was going to cut the knife today, but seeing that the criminal department and Shuntianfu were in such a big formation, at least thousands of people were dispatched, and there were only four or five carriages covering the corpse seats! I saw that the prison officer was riding a high-headed horse, armed with a sword, and murderous! The officers and soldiers escorted on both sides unsheathed their swords, wound their arrows, and sounded gongs to open the way. As soon as the guards were heavily guarded, they knew that there must be a big show, so they all stood on the side of the street, waiting to see the excitement.
Those shops facing the street also hurriedly put out a piece of paper at the door, on which were placed three bowls of liquor, and some also put wine jugs, with the spouts facing outward, signaling to see them off, "It turns out that every time before killing." The government will post it on red paper in advance, and when the shops on the street see it, they will prepare a send-off wine, and they will also fry a few snacks, so that the prisoners can not stop looking at it. You can not eat or drink, but you can't send people to Huangquan Road without wine and food.
Moreover, the common people said that if the prisoner drank wine and ate food at the door of someone's house, the family would accumulate virtue and be rewarded, and red silk and red pairs should be hung in front of the shop, just like a happy event. It is said that Lord Yama knew and would record this merit in the account book.
Although there was no red paper posted today, the shops who inquired about it still hurriedly prepared the send-off wine, and looked at the escort team with their feet crossed, hoping to meet good luck this time.
When the soldiers who were on guard approached the prisoner cart, the sharp-eyed and literate people stared at the prisoner cart's criminal license plate and read aloud: "Yan Shifan, the prisoner of the Criminal Department."
I have to admit that the star effect of Yan Shifan's three words far exceeds that of any court official. Unless these three words are replaced with "Zhu Houxuan", it will definitely not be able to cause this deceitful sensation now, and I just heard the screams in the crowd, and immediately messed up and squeezed forward. I want to see Yan Shifan, who is firmly on the ranking of the Ming Dynasty and the first in the villain list, and can also enter the top three in the absurd ranking. What the hell is it; But there are also many people who squeeze out, calling friends and friends, greeting neighbors, and watching Yan Shifan's death together.
Seeing that as soon as he appeared on the stage, it caused such a commotion, Yan Shifan was a little proud, if it weren't for the fact that his hands were wrongly placed on the prisoner car. He must have waved to the people. But soon. He knew that he would be wrong, because he saw that the shops with liquor were busy carrying the long case into the store. lest he drink it. Before he came to his senses, he saw some ordinary people coming back and forth, calling him with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even animal dung, and throwing them at him like raindrops of filth. Almost in the blink of an eye, he was beaten all over the head, and even the soldiers on the side also suffered. All of them became live targets.
Today is the news of Yan Shifan's beheading. Soon it spread, and the streets of the West Market were crowded with angry people, and even the upper-class people in the restaurants and teahouses on both sides didn't care about their status, and stepped on the tables and pedaled on the chairs. Shouting and scolding at the top of his voice! It is said that Yan Shifan has been doing evil in Beijing for 20 years, and the people of the capital, no matter how noble or low, hate him to the core!
Listening to the foul words like a tide in his ears, Yan Shifan said in his heart, this can be regarded as the completion of his youthful ambition, which cannot be passed down through the ages, and will be left behind for thousands of years!
At this time, a rotten egg flew over and hit his left eye, "That's the only eye he can see, Yan Shifan was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, but he felt that something fell on his head and body from time to time, and it was really disgusting, "It was also easy for him to rise to the void and completely return to his original shape."
walked forward in embarrassment, and I don't know how long it took, I vaguely felt that the prisoner car stopped, and then he was put down, and his arms could finally move freely, Yan Shifan hurriedly raised his hand and wiped the solidified in front of him, "I don't know if it's the egg white or the egg yolk buttoned off, and then I saw the scene again."
Good guys, I saw that the West Market was already crowded with people, waving their sleeves like clouds, the people of Beijing City, helping the old and the young, pulling families to visit, and there was also a flow of people from all directions, from all sides to this side, it was the New Year to catch the temple fair, and it was not so lively.
This scene also made Shen Mo and others dumbfounded, although they knew that Chinese people love to watch the killing of heads, but that is only a hobby of some people, and it will never be like today, and the people of Beijing City will all rush over.
But this is not the time to sigh, Shen Mo came in civilian clothes today, and his guards, firmly guarding a wheelchair, desperately squeezed into the crowd, and the people around him glared angrily, but when they saw his guards all on their backs, they were not so angry.
Rao is like this, but he still wasted all his strength to squeeze into a good position to watch the punishment. In fact, Shen Mo has always been very allergic to murder scenes, but this was Imperial Doctor Cui's last wish before leaving Beijing, so he had to endure the discomfort and take him over to watch.
"It's not to see the excitement, but the people are here to witness the truth!" On the high prison platform, Liu Zhuo said excitedly: "Evil will be rewarded, the time has come!" ”
Xu was buried by Yan Shifan earlier, and Huang Guangsheng, another prison officer, was not as excited as Liu Zhuo, he leaned on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes slightly, and heard Liu Zhuo's words, so he said softly: "Yes, Yan Shifan will kill himself if he does too much injustice, but it's a pity that those who were killed by him can't see today."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhuo saw a banner with black characters on a white background unfolded in the crowd, on which were written a few big words Yang Meishan has a spirit in the sky!
Maybe it's a coincidence, but people prefer to believe in providence. Just five years ago today, Yang Jisheng, the first tough guy in the Ming Dynasty, was killed here. Only forty-two years old, when people see this banner, they instantly think of the Laoshan Gong who asked for the people's life, and when the sorrow comes, the cry continues, and the heroic and eternal poem seems to echo in the sky above the city of Beijing:
Hao Mao is still too empty, Dan's heart is eternal;
If you don't have anything to do before you die, leave it to future generations to make up for it! ,
Zhenshan Gong. Your last wish has finally been fulfilled today, and you can look away!
Seeing this scene, the officials were afraid of chaos, and said nervously: "My lord, do you want to confiscate that thing!" ”
"Take your head". Liu Zhuo's face turned red. Qingjin exposed: "Yang Jisheng should be present!" There are also the four admonitions of Yuezhong and the three sons of Renxu! There are also Xia Yan, Zhang Jing, Li Tianzhong, Wang Huai and countless other loyal people who were persecuted by the Yan Party! They should all be there in person. Witness this day of the strict thief's beheading! ”
He had waited too long for this day to come. The gaffe at this moment is understandable.
At this time, Yan Shifan and the others were taken to the execution platform, and they automatically slipped to the west, most of them knelt, only Yan Shifan was tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame, because what he would enjoy was the first torture in the past, Ling Chi was executed, and he naturally had to be different from others. It's amazing. is worthy of Yan Shifan, he died so high-profile,
Behind each death row inmate, there is a prison officer and an executioner. The prison officer is an official of the criminal department, who is responsible for supervising the execution, and there is nothing to say. But it was the executioners, who were called coarse and red. The head is wrapped in a red turban. The ghost head knife in his arms. The knife is made of a sword, and the blade does not see the sky, all covered by a red knife cloth, so that the people below can't help but be frightened when they see it.
But at this moment, all the executioners were whispering to the prisoners: "Master! I'm waiting for you to go, and it's also a bowl of rice to eat, you can rest assured that you can go! Make sure that you will never make up for the knife."
In order to prevent being dropped on the way to the execution ground, the prison officer wanted to verify his identity again, he sang a name loudly, and the people below burst into applause in unison.
It should be said that the old officials of the criminal department are professionals, and all preparations should be completed. There was no shadow of the flagpole standing on the ground, and the timekeeper shouted: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" The noise on the field stopped abruptly, and there was no movement at all in the place where tens of thousands of people gathered.
"Yingtian!" Huang Guangsheng dropped the fire sign and shouted, "Open the slash!" ”
The prison officers then held red pens in their hands, put a big cross on the prisoner's name on the prisoner's plaque in front of each other, and then pulled it out and threw it on the ground!
The executioner raised the ghost head knife high and shouted in unison: "Master, please get on the road!" A white light flashed, but the knife fell, and the heads fell to the ground. Although it is the same killing, there are also masters and low hands, and there are too many executioners needed for this execution, and the masters are not enough, so there are also small apprentices to make up the number.
If it is a master master, the craftsmanship is no worse than that of the cow, and if the knife is serious, the guarantor will be separated without realizing it, and the headless body will still remain in a kneeling position, and the blood will gush out only when the head hits the ground. But if you change to a low-handed apprentice, the prisoner will suffer from the old sin, and the apprentices can't find the trick, so they can only rely on brute strength, and they are likely to cut their necks and jam the knife with a knife. In addition to his red face and red ears, he couldn't care about the demeanor of a master, so he quickly raised his foot against the body of the prisoner, and pulled out the knife vigorously, inevitably being sprayed with blood.
When you encounter this, you don't have to say anything about being hurt and frightened. You have to take another knife, which is called "to blood mold." Finish. But in any case, the beheading suffers again. It's not as good as the one who was cut in half.
Luo Longwen is going to be cut in half, this original door technique is "how thin is the neck, how thick is the waist?" If you are not familiar with the lumbar vertebrae space, no matter how strong you are, you will continue to cut with a knife, and the scene will naturally be embarrassing, and you will be ridiculed by the onlookers, which will affect the professional reputation of the executioner. But that's the old yellow calendar, the times are developing, technology is advancing, and now the waist chop has enabled a more convenient guillotine.
Having said that, the psychological destruction of the prisoner is far greater than beheading. Because at the time of the execution. The prisoner had to strip off his clothes, leave his waist exposed, and lie down on the guillotine, which was the posture of the fish between the knives, and there was still a period of time between the time the guillotine was pressed and the time when the knife was beheaded.
That Luo Longwen is also a talent, he actually completed the last public relations in his life during this period, and he whispered to the supervisor and executioner: "I heard that after the waist is beheaded, people will die after a while?"
The two of them didn't reply, but they couldn't help but nod slowly.
"I have two thousand taels of bearer silver tickets in my arms," Luo Longwen said: "I am tired of the two noble hands, give me a good time." ”
The two still didn't reply. But they all nodded slowly,"
So when the knife was opened, Luo Longwen's body was dragged down, and he cut off his henchman with a single knife. was killed at the time, and it can be regarded as a child's undeceived.
But Yan Shifan didn't have that kind of good life, he was sentenced to Ling Chi to reopen, for example, he should be punished with 3,357 knives in those three days, if the number of days and knives is not enough, the prisoner will die, and the executioner will be severely punished, even the most superb Ling Chi hand, and he does not dare to ignore it slightly, so this job cannot be mixed with water, and whoever puts it on the stall can only consider himself unlucky.
When he saw the first knife fly up and cut Yan Shifan's Adam's apple off, it was to prevent him from screaming and affecting his performance. Silent turned his head in disgust, Yan Shifan should have been slashed with a thousand knives, but this kind of punishment was too violent.
Fortunately, Imperial Physician Cui's hatred for these people did not extinguish the benevolence of a doctor, and after seeing a few knives, he also said, "Let's go."
"Let's go!" was silent as if he had been pardoned, and immediately ordered someone to escort Imperial Doctor Cui out.
But before leaving, he couldn't help but look back. Yan Shifan, who is suffering from the punishment of a thousand knives. He suddenly had a thrill, and a terrifying thought came to his mind: "Will I also have to walk on this stage one day?" Deng Shi broke out in a cold sweat, quickly shook his head, and quickly left the execution ground.
I "felt uncomfortable with some bloody and violent scenes, and then I crossed it with a stroke of the pen")
