319 Ling Chi
Yu Jin and his entourage didn't wait long before an official read out Wang Fu's charges aloud.
What is surprising is that perhaps because of the huge impact, this time it was personally presided over by Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Song Chenxi, a thousand households in brocade clothes, came to supervise the sentence.
This is a good thing to show his face and increase his fame, Song Chenxi and the book of the Criminal Department should be a reward for his heroic performance in Qianqingmen.
Wang Fu was charged with many crimes, such as wounding people, collecting money, murder, forcibly robbing people's daughters, forcibly robbing shops, fields, etc., a total of 108 major crimes were listed.
First, someone poured a basin of water on Wang Fu's head, which was regarded as purifying him, and then stripped off his clothes, leaving only a short hakama, which was cut off below the big feet, looking like the boxer panties of later generations, and finally the person was tied to a special "big" word frame, and his head, hands and feet were tied with iron buckles and cow tendons.
During the whole process, Wang Fu didn't resist much, Yu Jin saw that his body was full of scars after the torture, it is estimated that Jinyiwei did not pay less attention to "entertain", it is said that he offended too much, after being arrested, many people spent money to torture him, at that time Jiajing said to treat Wang Jin well, and did not include Wang Fu.
So Wang Jin is nominally doing well, at least he is well fed and clothed, but after Ah Furong became addicted, he was tortured by Ah Furong very much.
After tying up Wang Fu, another soldier brought a fishing net, Yu Jinzheng was strange, and soon knew the answer, several soldiers covered Wang Fu's body, and then tied it tightly, so that Wang Fu's flesh was like a piece of arch, which looked a little weird.
"My lord, the prisoner is ready." After completion, a small leader reported loudly to Huang Guangsheng, who was hosting.
Huang Guangsheng looked at the hour, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, nodded, picked up a piece of Zhu and threw it. Say it loudly: "Execution." ”
At the sound of an order, a lean middle-aged man walked up to the execution platform, only to see him say a few words to Wang Fu, and as soon as he waved, a person who looked like an apprentice came up, carrying a box with him. As soon as the box was opened, Yu Jin's position was good, and he could see clearly that the box was full of knives of all sizes.
In the sun, the knives in the box flashed.
"Hey, is this the hand of the Tang ghost, it turns out that he was executed." Someone in the crowd said in surprise.
"Tang ghost hand? Who is it? Isn't it amazing? ”
"yes, ghost hand, it's a little scary to hear this head."
I heard a question. Those who had good deeds in the crowd immediately opened their mouths to inquire.
"Hehe, you don't know," the insider said: "He is the first executioner of the Criminal Department, and the death row prisoner who died under his hands is not a thousand but eight hundred, and he is also the best executioner for Ling Chi to execute, does Ling Chi know anything, it is not difficult to cut 3600 knives, and it is not difficult to cut 3600 knives." The difficulty is that the meat cut by each knife is average, and 3599 knives are the same. It didn't die until 3600 knives, it's difficult, you can do it, you have a reward, you can't do it, you have to hit the board. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize. While complimenting.
After Tang Ghost said some strange words, wronged heads, and debtors, he picked up a thin knife with a curved hook and walked towards Wang Fu with a cruel smile.
"Uh-huh"
Seeing that sharp little scimitar, death is coming. It turned out that Wang Fu, who was dead, suddenly struggled desperately, but he was tied up to death, and he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.
Yu Jin asked with some curiosity: "What is this Wang Fu's name?" ”
Qing'er said disapprehantly: "That is, ahhhh ”
"3600 knives, how much blood does it have to be shed" Yu Jin said with some curiosity: "If he bleeds too much and dies, what should I do?" ”
"It's not so easy to die, before the execution, I poured him ginseng soup, and I also ate a special medicinal juice, and I saw that the fish net was not, in addition to cutting the flesh from the side, so that the blood can also be suppressed, so that the blood does not flow so fast, you can rest assured, an excellent executioner, will control the speed according to the prisoner, die slowly, cut slowly, die fast, move faster"
After a pause, Qing'er continued: "Tang Ghost was born in Jinyiwei, and the three generations are executioners, because he ranks second and cannot inherit his father's position, so he joined the Criminal Department, it can be said that he has rich experience, and he has to cut 3,600 knives, as long as he is out of the horse, there will be no less knives." ”
Qing'er said lightly, Yu Jin was a little creepy when she heard it, this girl is too tough.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden scream, followed by a cheer, and when Yu Jin looked down, he saw that Tang Ghost was putting a thin piece of meat on a white tray, and another person was singing loudly: "The first knife." ”
Just when Tang Ghost was about to cut the second knife, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "Official, I am willing to sell this piece of meat to me for ten taels of gold, this beast, I am the only one left in a family of eight, and the grass people said that if they have a chance, they will eat him alive and ask the adults to fulfill it." ”
Buying human flesh?
The people present were silent all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes were on Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was presiding.
Huang Guangsheng hesitated when he heard this, and turned his head to Song Chenxi, who was in prison, and said, "Song Qianhu, look"
"This thousand households only watch the execution, and ignore the rest" Song Chenxi said with a smile: "If you can comply with the will of the people and increase your income for the country, I think the emperor will reward you." ”
Huang Guangsheng thought about it, this was originally to kill the people to vent their anger and win the hearts and minds of the new emperor, and nodded to his subordinates when he heard this.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a silk robe with red eyes exchanged ten taels of gold for a finger-sized piece of meat, shouted a few words, and then threw it into his mouth.
If it was in the past, it would definitely be regarded as a demon, but this middle-aged man's actions attracted a lot of applause and cheers.
With this precedent, there was a hurry, and the people rushed to buy Wang Fu's meat, some people ate it like a middle-aged man, and some people took it to pay tribute to the people who were killed by Wang Fu, and there was an inexplicable weirdness on the occasion for a while.
Yu Jin knew that Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the people in Beijing were angry and fought for his meat, but he didn't expect to see this scene in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
No wonder Wang Fu asked for so many Danshu iron scrolls for himself, he relied on Jiajing's favor and was domineering, not only limited to the capital, his henchmen and minions came out everywhere, I don't know how many people were harmed, not to mention anything else, in order to cultivate the Taoist temple, forcibly requisitioned land, and killed and injured more than 20 people in the process of land acquisition.
Tang Ghost Hand was slowly executed at first, and when he arrived at the back, as the blood flowed more and more, he slowly accelerated the speed of the execution, only to see that he was carrying a knife like the wind, and changing knives according to different parts.
It is said that Ling Chi will be executed for three days, but it only took more than two hours for Tang Ghost to complete, and when the last knife fell, the person in charge of singing the knife just counted to the 3,600th knife.
After the execution, he also showed his head to the public and announced that the execution would be far away.
It's right to think about it, after cutting so many wounds and bleeding so much, it would be good to last for three days, and it would be good to last for one day.
After seeing Wang Fu beheaded, Yu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief.
Cool, glad.
Shuang is finally revenge, Wang Fu seized his property, arrested his whole family, and threatened himself with his relatives, once wanted to wipe out his family of three, and now he saw Wang Fu being executed by Ling Chi, and he was in a good mood.
Ying Xing was not the one who was executed, he handled it properly in the palace change, and did not let Wang Jin's conspiracy succeed, in fact, he stepped on a tightrope that day, if he failed, maybe the person who was cut 3600 knives was himself.
It's finally a disaster.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, Wang Fu has a certain knowledge of drugs, and he can also work hard, and if he is remembered by such a person, he will not be able to sleep well at that time.
When Yu Xing and his entourage returned to Yu's Mansion with a complicated mood, they suddenly saw that the front of the mansion was densely packed with guards, and they were startled at first, but they were relieved to see that it was the Praetorian Guards.
Yuwang is here.
No, it should be Emperor Longqing.
Since King Yu ascended the throne, Yu Jin has not seen him, and the court has been busy with the replacement of the old and the new, and Yu Jin has always kept a low profile.
It's rare to remember yourself.
Yu Jin felt a hint of warmth in his heart, and then went straight back.
The old face, it is easy to return to the house, just entered the front yard, suddenly a voice shouted: "Stop, don't move, if you move again, I will release the arrow." ”
This voice, you don't need to look at it to know that it is Xiao Wanli.
Yu Jin immediately raised his hands cooperatively, pretending to be afraid and said, "No, you want to release the arrow, I, I admit defeat." ”
A tiger-headed little guy ran to Yu Jin with a smile, and said with some pride: "Hehe, Yu Fucheng, your courage is so small, it is easy to surrender, but don't worry, I won't shoot you with an arrow." ”
Children are innocent.
However, the last sentence made Yu Jin's heart flutter, so he suddenly picked up Xiao Wanli and said: "That's great, the little prince is so good to me, so does the lower official want to show it, or make you a new toy?" ”
Xiao Wanli's eyes lit up, his big eyes turned around, and he said loudly, "I want two." ”
Shrewd, learned to bargain so quickly.
Yu Jin laughed: "Haha, okay, the little prince has the final say, just two." ”
"What are you talking about, why are you so deed?" While talking, Long Qing came, and when he saw Yu Jin and Xiao Wanli smiling so happily, he couldn't help but ask.
Yu Jin immediately put Xiao Wanli down and saluted to Longqing: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
"No courtesy, no courtesy" Long Qing said very casually: "There are no outsiders here, so vulgar etiquette is exempt." ”
"Your Majesty."
Long Qing turned his head to Xiao Wanli and said, "Emperor, you're not naughty, are you?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare."
Yu Jin was busy speaking for Xiao Wanli, several people said a few words, Longqing obviously had something to say to Yu Jin, and waved his hand to let the palace maid take Xiao Wanli aside.
"Yu Aiqing, the old people around me, all of them are rewarded as officials, among so many people, you have contributed a lot, and the reward is the thinnest, you won't hold a grudge against me in your heart, right?" After the others left, Long Qing suddenly spoke.
Yu Jin didn't expect that Longqing would say this question, so he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and immediately responded: "The minister doesn't dare, and he won't." ”
