And most of these executioners still have extra money to fish, of course, they will not deliberately release water, privately release criminals, but some people, after being sentenced to death, the people in the family can't bear to let them suffer, so they have to spend money to honor these executioners, ask them to sharpen their knives, and cut off the heads of people with a knife, so that people can commit less living crimes, if no one honors them, they will kill people with blunt knives, and a knife often does not kill people, only cut off half of the neck, let people commit more living crimes, It takes a few more stabs to die without a whimper, and this kind of thing is also a common thing.

Daye County naturally also has full-time executioners, unfortunately these two executioners are still Gao Huaiyuan's subordinates, before the execution, for how to deal with these prisoners, these two executioners also came to ask Gao Huaiyuan, listen to Gao Huaiyuan's opinion on what to do.

Because these people committed a great crime and were not good, plus their whole family was copied, naturally no one came to honor the executioner for any money, so how to kill them, I have to ask Gao Huaiyuan's meaning.

After Gao Huaiyuan figured this out, he couldn't cry or laugh a little, killing people is killing, and there are so many ways, he really doesn't know how to answer.

After thinking for a while, Gao Huaiyuan replied: "As for the women who are going to be killed, I don't think you can make it difficult for you to be embarrassed by them, and pull them down with a knife, and the remaining men, what should you do!" After all, they are innocent of death, and it is not worth a pity! ”

Only then did the death of a few people be decided, and after the urging drum sounded at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two executioners put on the execution table, first beheaded those sinners, Gao Huaiyuan looked at it from a distance, several women were already frightened, crying in a mess, two people seemed to be frightened stupid, silent, and two women wailed, just begging for mercy.

An executioner pushed a sinner woman to the front of the table and kicked her in the crook of the leg, causing her to fall to her knees in front of the crowd below.

One of the priests stepped forward, announced the guilt of the sinner, and then identified her identity, drew the sign that was stuck in the back of her neck, and handed it to Liu Zhixian, who used a red pen to tick off her name on the sign, and then picked up an arrow and threw it down.

At this time, one of the executioners took the order, stepped forward to break the sinner's bun, stretched out his hand to pull her hair, and the other executioner was in charge of the execution, he first drank a sip of wine, vigorously sprayed the wine on the ghost head knife, and then raised the snow head knife in his hand high.

At the moment when the rapid drum of the urging drum stopped, the executioner of the executioner suddenly waved the ghost head broadsword, only to see a flash of cold light, a blood arrow immediately rushed out, the executioner in charge of pulling the head turned around, dodged the blood arrow, and threw the head of the sinner woman in the basin on the torture table, without any blood on the body, Gao Huaiyuan had to admire.

The sinner's cry came to an abrupt end, and the headless corpse immediately fell to the torture table, blood spurting from her neck, her hands and feet still trembling, and after a while it was quiet.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but close his eyes, although he didn't blink his eyelids when he killed the enemy in front of the battle, he still felt a little uncomfortable watching the killing in this way, and only heard the onlookers on the execution ground cheering one after another, as if they were praising the executioner's methods.

The executioner is skillful when cutting off the head, and the knife is very particular about the cervical vertebrae, otherwise, it is likely that the knife will be stuck or burst out of the gap, which is really embarrassing.

Gao Huaiyuan felt uncomfortable for a while, no matter how you look at such a scene, it is like a performance, killing people has actually become an art, the executioner is regarded as a performance, and the person watching the execution is regarded as watching a play! He really doesn't know how to describe this kind of thing!

A few sinners were finally killed one by one after a while, leaving a few headless corpses, and the heads were hung by the executioner to show the public, and then it was the turn to send the outlaws on the road, this time one of the several guys has long lost the ferocity of the past, watching the woman being killed, crying like a woman at this time, even the pants were wet with a large piece of urine, and the water along the surface of the feet.

Only the murderer surnamed Cao was screaming and scolding, scolding that Zhang Cheng for a while, scolding him for harming them, and scolding Gao Huaiyuan for a while, scolding Gao Huaiyuan for being a dog official, not a good death, when the executioner really took out the Xueliang corpse splitting knife, this guy also showed a frightened look.

But this guy is also fierce, after spitting out a mouthful of bloody spit, he once again scolded Gao Huaiyuan, cursed Gao Huaiyuan's whole family over and over again, and said that he would not let go of Gao Huaiyuan, the dog official Yunyun.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan happened to be ordered to verify the identity of these people, and walked to the execution platform, which caused the onlookers to applaud, and they all thanked Gao Huaiyuan and thanked Gao Huaiyuan for eliminating harm for the people.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on the execution platform, bowed his hand to the crowd below, clenched his fists and said: "Since Gao is in charge of this position, he should do something practical for his neighbors, you don't want to thank this official for anything, and I hope that after you see the fate of this thief, you can take it as a warning, don't commit any royal law!" ”

Then Gao Huaiyuan read out the charges of these thieves, inspected the integrity of these thieves, and walked through the process, in fact, these people didn't need him to check, and he knew that they couldn't change people, they were beaten so badly, they looked as scary as ghosts during the day, but the rules were like this, and he still finished this scene.

When he came to the guy surnamed Cao, the murderer's eyes were bloodshot, and he scolded Gao Huaiyuan again, Gao Huaiyuan looked at this guy's hideous face coldly, and after he scolded enough, he snorted coldly and said: "The ghost won't spare me?" I'm afraid you don't have that chance! If you become a ghost, think about the people you have been victimized, their ghosts are probably waiting for you to go down for a long time, and the Lord of Yama will naturally serve such wicked people as you, and those great punishments in the underworld are still waiting for you to enjoy! If you are so unrepentant at the end of your life, I think you deserve to die the most! ”

The executioner came over and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Lord County Lieutenant, this guy is fierce and tight, and there will be a small one to serve him in a while, and send him away happily!" Hum! The little one added a knife to him, and his tongue was so hateful! ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded, he naturally heard the meaning of the executioner, in order to please himself, the executioner had this guy to feel good when he went under the knife, I am afraid that this guy's tongue will be stabbed one more time.

The surnamed Cao listened to the executioner's words, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, the punishment was enough to suffer, but he was stunned just now, and this time he found himself guilty!

With Liu Zhixian's order, the executioner began to execute, starting with the other three, the corpse knife in his hand was like the wind, and soon used up twenty-four knives, and two of the guys were divided on the spot, ending their lives, the reason why these two guys died happily is because these two people said some good things before they died, indicating that they will never do such evil things in the next life, only when they start with that Zhang Cheng, they should be slower, this guy mutilated women, and the crime was more serious. Therefore, because of the wishes of the common people, the executioner deliberately made this guy suffer for a while, and he suffered twenty-four knives to the fullest, and after cutting off his limbs, he gouged out his liver and gallbladder, and finally cut off his head with one knife and ended this fight.

Even Gao Huaiyuan, a person who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of death on the battlefield, feels sick to his stomach after watching this kind of torture, not to mention the people who are onlookers, they are still full of interest when they see the beheading, and when they see the real murderer, some people faint in fright on the spot, and some people even vomit up their morning meal, no matter what, it really plays a deterrent role.

However, it is different from Gao Huaiyuan's imagination, the Song Dynasty's punishment and the Ming Dynasty's Ling Chi are still fundamentally different, first of all, the number of knives in the Song Dynasty is very small, only twenty-four knives, unlike the later Ming Dynasty after a small piece of the prisoner to chop hundreds of thousands of knives, and specifically it should be a kind of dismemberment punishment, the execution time is relatively short, far less cruel than the later Ling Chi punishment, relatively more or less humane, the torture time is not too long, so that people's nerves can bear.

After watching his accomplices being killed one by one, the man surnamed Cao finally couldn't scold, the muscles all over his body trembled uncontrollably, and his whole face was so frightened that there was no blood at all, and he was no longer mentally charged with a good man at this time, which is also the purpose of the executioner, what he wanted was to make this guy mentally collapse and suffer a little more mental torture, and now it seems that the goal has obviously been achieved.

It was not until the executioner came to him that he understood, and at last he was suffering, and he wailed, and began to relent, begging the executioner to give him a happy death, and to end his life as soon as possible.

But the executioner said first, to let this guy suffer a little more, it is impossible to regret it again, if he does that, he is afraid that Gao Huaiyuan will be unhappy and take away his job, so he doesn't care about this guy's begging for mercy at all, an executioner also smiled and brought out a plate, only to see that there was still white flowers on the plate, and the surname Cao suddenly understood, how the executioner was going to deal with him.

So the frightened guy surnamed Cao, suddenly like a stimulant, began to struggle on the pillar that tied him, and once again began to scold, first scolding Gao Huaiyuan, then scolding the executioner, in short, he scolded all the people he could think of, after such a scolding, the onlookers below really applauded him, I really don't know what these applauding people think, they would actually applaud such outlaws!

The executioner stepped forward and grabbed the man's jaw, pinched it hard, pinched the guy's mouth open, so that he could no longer scold, and then took out a small hook from his arms, stretched it out into the guy's mouth, hooked the guy's tongue, pulled out his mouth hard, released his jaw with the other hand, and took a hook-shaped knife from a nearby executioner, put it on the guy's tongue and drew it, and then a human tongue remained in his hand, dripping blood and was thrown down, someone immediately scrambled over and put it away, It is said that this thing can be used in medicine to treat what sores and boils, and people who look at it are creepy.

And after the tongue of the man surnamed Cao was cut off, his mouth was full of blood, and he could no longer scold and scold, and he bounced on the pillar like a fish that had been forked, and then it was time for the executioner to perform again, and every time the executioner stabbed him, he had to stop for a while, so that the fellow would suffer a little more, and then the other man would sprinkle some salt particles into his wound, and the pain would make the guy jump up.

This kind of execution lasted for a long time, and the executioner finally beheaded this guy with a knife and ended his life, Gao Huaiyuan looked at Guo Liang next to him again, he didn't know where this guy ran to vomit, even Guo Liang was used to seeing dead people on the battlefield and couldn't stand this, it can be seen that this kind of death is really scary!

Gao Huaiyuan endured his nausea and went to the stage for an autopsy again, which could be regarded as the end of this execution, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only a pile of fragments of dead people.

Generally, after killing people in the execution ground, the prisoners have family members to collect the corpses for them, but these guys have done too much evil, even if they have relatives, no one dares to collect the corpses for them, the government naturally does not ask more, and directly throws them in the wild, let them be violent corpses in the wilderness, and finally let the wild dogs feast on their mouths, it is said that such people will not be reincarnated after death, and it can be regarded as finding a tragic home for their sinful voice.

After Gao Huaiyuan solved the case, he suddenly became famous in Daye County, and the squires who were not very optimistic about him did not dare to underestimate him now, so they changed their attitudes and went to the banquet to invite Gao Huaiyuan, trying to make friends with Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was very impatient to deal with these people, and originally planned to push them away, but was stopped by Ji Xiancheng.

"Young master, don't underestimate these squires and rich families, they have a lot of energy, if the young master wants to do a long time in the position of the county lieutenant of Daye, he can't offend these people, after all, they have a lot of influence in the township, the young master will soon plan to implement the rural joint insurance in the county, train the villagers, without the support of these people, there will be a lot of resistance, the young master had better be familiar with these people, and deal with them!" Ji Xiancheng knew that Gao Huaiyuan didn't like this kind of entertainment very much, but he still persuaded him.

Gao Huaiyuan thought about it, after he took office, he discussed with Ji Xiancheng, he wanted to implement the rural joint insurance in Daye County, select the township Ding farmers for training, strengthen the people's health, and gradually make the people of Daye County stronger, by the way, he also implemented bow and arrow clubs in various townships and villages, trained the township bravery, and responded to emergencies at any time, and Ji Xiancheng also agreed with his idea and supported him to do so, and now after listening to Ji Xiancheng's words, Gao Huaiyuan dispelled the idea of rejecting those squires for banquets, he wants to implement this kind of thing, In the end, it is necessary to first obtain the support of these powerful people in the township, otherwise, it will inevitably be very difficult to implement it from the ordinary people alone.

So Gao Huaiyuan put down the shelf, and did not refuse the banquets and gifts of those squires, and continued to entertain every day, fortunately, he drank quite well, otherwise, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to drink an alcoholic liver at a young age.

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan quickly became familiar with some of the squires and wealthy families in the county and township, and although these people had heard of Gao Huaiyuan before, this meeting, seeing Gao Huaiyuan's extraordinary bearing and approachable conversation, won a lot of favor from these people.

Gao Huaiyuan also officially embarked on his official career and began to mix in Daye County.

Since Gao Huaiyuan returned to Daye County a year ago, he has been busy on all fours, he has to deal with the official affairs of the Yamen, and he wants to do something in Daye County, and gradually make the local people in Daye County form a good martial style, select archers to be trained, and increase the standing force of Daye County.

On the other hand, he has to care about the development of his private industry from time to time, dispatch manpower and material resources, support Huang Zhen to develop in the two Zhejiang areas, and when he takes office, he sends his henchmen to send a batch of new goods hoarded by Crouching Tiger Village to Ezhou and hand them over to Huang Zhen.

And Huang Zhen's side was also well prepared, handed over the matter at hand to his subordinates, and when he was leaving, in the name of Gao Huaiyuan, he gave a generous gift to each of the leading and faceful figures on the side of the Ezhou prefect, and drew up a detailed list of these officials who might affect Gao Huaiyuan, listed their temperament and personal preferences, and sent someone to Gao Huaiyuan, so that Gao Huaiyuan had an understanding of these officials, so that he hired two big river boats, loaded various goods, and headed for Shaoxing.

After Gao Huaiyuan was busy with Huang Zhen's affairs, he began to turn most of his energy to official affairs, and when he became a county lieutenant, he didn't plan to do nothing, so the first step was to solve the gangsters who plagued Daye County and opened up the situation of him as an official.

After solving this serious case, Gao Huaiyuan soon received a verbal commendation from the Ezhou prefect, expressing his appreciation for being able to crack such a big case in such a short time, and Gao Huaiyuan also entered the field of vision of Ezhou officialdom through this matter.

First of all, Gao Huaiyuan selected 50 elite villagers in the townships of Daye County, re-established the Daye County Archer Team, and took Guo Liang as the archer team, and concentrated them in the old camp in the county seat, and personally trained these archers.

The overall quality of the villagers who passed his personal review and selection this time is much stronger than that of the previous batch of archers, even compared to when Gao Huaiyuan led the team for the first time, the quality of the selected townsmen is also much higher! Although some people were reluctant to join the army, they were forced to join the archer team and become archers due to the order of the county government.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, on the occasion of the Taurus bidding farewell to the old year and the blessing tiger welcoming the New Year, the cold wind extends the most heartfelt blessings to the book friends who are fighting on the front line of reading! I wish you all a monthly salary increase, a tenfold increase in deposits, and a great body. The cold wind is giving everyone a New Year's greeting!
