Chapter 261: Lighting the Sky Lantern
Looking at the scene of the execution, the traitors who came with them were all frightened, and they regretted it to the extreme, knowing that they would definitely be stabbed today, and they were so frightened that they were all scared, and some people had even begun to scold Ma Feng, saying that Ma Feng had harmed them, if it wasn't for Ma Feng encouraging them, how would they have ended up like this.
Ma Feng's eyes were dull at this time, paralyzed on the ground, and now he was discouraged, knowing that his fate today would probably be very miserable, Yu Xiaotian was originally a relatively gentle person, and rarely did such a massacre in public, but today because of Wang Hong's death, Yu Xiaotian killed dozens of prisoners in one go, and Fang An also hated him to the core, and did not intercede for him at all.
It was only at this time that Ma Feng recalled various things in the past, and began to have thoughts of regret in his heart, thinking about it carefully, he had come to this point today, he could only be regarded as taking his own blame, if he had listened to Wang Hong and Fang An's advice earlier, he should have been in the midst of the sea wolf now, and he would not have ended up like this.
But what's the use of trying to understand this? It's too late to say anything now, he personally killed his dearest third brother, even after he died, he didn't have the face to see Qian Song and Wang Hong again.
Thinking of this, he listened to the abuse of these subordinates around him, and he was even more remorseful, turned his head and glanced at these subordinates, sneered and said: "You don't want to scold me, I can have today, is it my fault alone!" If it weren't for you bastards who pinch Lao Tzu behind his back every day, how could Lao Tzu take this road and end up in this fate? You deserve to end up like this, let's go to the eighteen layers of hell together! ”
After killing Chu Cailao's subordinates, he began the execution of Ma Feng and others, because Ma Feng was the first offender in this rebellion, the Sea Wolf Torture Hall sentenced him to the punishment of lighting a sky lantern.
Several executioners walked towards Ma Feng with a bunch of things, and sneered at Ma Feng: "Deputy Commander Ma! It's time for the brethren to send you on your way! ”
Ma Feng was really scared at this time, although he knew that he would definitely not be able to die, but he didn't expect that he would really be lit with a sky lantern, which can be said to be the most cruel punishment among their pirates, making the tortured person suffer a lot, but he couldn't die for a while, which can be described as capital punishment in the world.
Unexpectedly, today he wanted to experience such a capital punishment in person, thinking of Ma Feng felt creepy, and he was so frightened that he shook his head again and again and shouted: "I want to see the big boss, I want to see my fifth brother!" Give me a good time! Kill me with a single sword! ”
The executioner sneered: "Deputy Commander Ma, you just accept your fate!" The big boss and Commander Fang are not interested in seeing you at this time! You'd better be honest on the road! ”
Ma Feng shouted: "No! My fifth brother won't see me! I'm going to kowtow to my third brother's grave and ask for sin! Please! ”
"Less fucking bullshit! You bastard killed the king, and you still have the face to call him the third brother, how could he meet an ungrateful brother like you! If it weren't for you, wouldn't the king have left like this? Accept your fate, surnamed Ma, don't expect anything from you today! Tie it up! The executioner had already hated Ma Feng at this time, and scolded him angrily.
Several people pounced on Ma Feng and tied Ma Feng into a zongzi with hemp rope, removed the heavy flail around his neck, and then used a batch of linen cloth to wrap Ma Feng up again and again, and applied a layer of oil after wrapping it around until Ma Feng was wrapped like a cocoon, leaving only one head on the outside, and then smeared a thick layer of wax juice on the outermost layer of linen.
Ma Feng was really frightened at this moment, and while being entangled, he yelled loudly and begged for mercy from those who came to execute, begging them to tell Fang An, begging Fang An to intercede for him again, even if he couldn't let him live, give him a knife directly, let him go on the road happily, and avoid such a living crime!
But no one listened to his plea for mercy at this time, because of Wang Hong's death, and this time Ma Feng almost wiped out the sea wolf, and all the sea wolf tribes hated this guy at this time, and no one would sympathize with him at this time.
In Ma Feng's howling and pleading, these executioners wrapped Ma Feng with sackcloth, and after wrapping it, someone brought a bucket of hot wax oil and poured it on Ma Feng from head to toe, and the hot Ma Feng made a scream like killing a pig, and the wax oil poured on his head made him hot with a feeling of pain, not to mention that it was ignited from his feet for a while, and then what was the taste of that pain!
So Ma Feng shouted again like a pig to forgive, shouting loudly that he should die, begging these executioners to give him a good time, but seeing that no one paid attention to him, he began to scold Yu Xiaotian again, and after scolding Yu Xiaotian and scolding Fang An, he scolded almost everyone he could think of, just to scold these people urgently, even if it was to kill him on the spot!
But the more this guy scolded, the more the executioners ignored him, and they put the shackles on Ma Feng's feet on an iron chain, and hung them upside down on a pre-erected shelf.
With the sound of a row of guns in the cemetery, everyone knew that Wang Hong's coffin had gone down to the tomb at this time, and this array of guns was a ceremony for the sea wolf to fire flintlock pistols into the air to see Wang Hong off.
So someone immediately took a long rod, lit a torch at the head of the long pole, and shook it in front of Ma Feng's eyes with a cruel smile, Ma Feng stared at the frightened eyes, watching the flames jump in front of him, at this time he felt a heat in the crotch of his pants, and was actually scared to pee out, fortunately he was tightly wrapped, even if the urine came out, it did not flow out of his neck.
The executioner also frightened Ma Feng almost when he saw it, and at this time, someone shouted loudly and ordered him to light the fire, so he laughed fiercely and said to Ma Feng: "Commander Ma, this is your own earning, no wonder master!" Take your time and enjoy! Don't be in a hurry to die! Hey! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and probed the flame to the ankle of Ma Feng, who was hanging upside down, because the linen cloth was soaked in blubber and wax oil, and it immediately burned when it caught fire, which was called lighting a sky lantern.
The reason why it is said that lighting the sky lantern is an extremely cruel punishment is because after lighting the sky lantern to hang the tortured person upside down, it is ignited from the torturer's feet, and slowly burns downward, and the human body is burned after being smoked by the fire, and the fat in the body will also become a combustible, and the whole execution process is very slow, and the tortured person is scorched little by little, but the head is always awake in pain, and there is no possibility of fainting.
This process is very slow, so that the torture is painful, only against the most heinous or hated people, this kind of punishment will be used, this is also the first time in the history of the sea wolf to use such a means of lighting a sky lantern, against a person, Ma Feng is fortunate to be the first person to endure such torture.
After the fire was ignited, Ma Feng immediately let out a scream, the burning of the flame made him feel painful, shaking desperately and struggling, but how could he break free from such a restraint, he could only keep screaming, feeling the severe pain from below.
Ma Feng's screams have completely changed their tune at this time, and they are even worse than killing pigs, stimulating the eardrums of everyone present, and some soft-hearted people can't help but turn their heads when they see Ma Feng in such a miserable state, and they can't bear to continue watching.
It is undeniable that torture in ancient times was a great degree of deterrence and reminder for people, and when they saw Ma Feng being lit today, many of the sea wolf tribes secretly warned themselves in their hearts that they should not follow in the footsteps of this guy no matter what, and would rather die for the sea wolf and be buried in this cemetery in a beautiful way, rather than think about the rebellion, and finally end up like this.
And those traitors who were waiting to be tortured, looking at Ma Feng who was hung up and set on fire at this time, listening to Ma Feng's screams that changed his tone, they were even more frightened of the feces and urine in the crotches of each trot, for fear that they would be the next one, and they would also be lit with sky lanterns.
However, fortunately, the torture hall only sentenced Ma Feng to the punishment of lighting a sky lantern, most of the others were beheaded, and only a few other masterminds were sentenced to Ling Chi and live skinning.
While Ma Feng's screams continued, it would be a long time before he was completely burned to death, and the Sea Wolf tribe didn't have the time to wait, so these masterminds were also picked up and began to announce their punishments in public.
The sea wolf's Ling Chi's punishment was not too cruel, far less than the Ming Dynasty's Ling Chi punishment cut more knives, only twenty-four knives, but even so, the two guys who were sentenced to Ling Chi still died in pain, and they were completely dead after suffering twenty-four knives.
As for the live skinning, it is not like most people think, the whole person is completely alive and skinned, but it is only symbolically peeled off the human skin on the back, and then the head is cut off, but even so, the live skin is not much better than Ling Chi, and even the number of knives is more.
Therefore, this murder is also the most brutal execution of a human prisoner since the sea wolf, and the people around him who watched the execution were all terrified, and their scalps were numb for a while.
Everyone knows the Tao at this time, Yu Xiaotian is not as generous as they imagined, they didn't touch his reverse scales before, today they are considered to know the Tao, once Yu Xiaotian is provoked, Yu Xiaotian will never be merciful.
Then the remaining traitors were dragged out of the camp, one by one their heads were cut off, their heads were pickled directly, and they were sent to hang outside the camps, and two pieces of human skins that had been stripped off were sent to the door of the new camp and nailed to the doorposts, as a warning to the newcomers, so that each of them knew that as long as they entered this gate of the sea wolf, if anyone dared to rebel in the future, then these people would be their fate.
Yu Xiaotian silently listened to the screams of Ma Feng and those traitors outside the cemetery, without showing any expression on his face, he admitted that it was very cruel to do so, but if he didn't do it today, let all the people know the fate of the traitors, otherwise God knows that no one will do such a thing in the future, so when necessary, he used torture as a means to control the people, he was also out of helplessness, but it is undeniable that such a method has a very good effect, As long as he can continue to go step by step, it is no longer a matter of whether he should use such cruel methods.
And Fang An has always knelt in front of Wang Hong's tomb since he heard Ma Feng's screams, without saying a word, his eyes are closed, and his right hand is deeply inserted into the soil in front of him, clenched so tightly that he can see the green tendons jumping up at his wrists.
One can think of how much pain Fang An endured at this time, first the death of Wang Hong, whom he respected the most, and then in front of Wang Hong's tomb, he used such a means to execute his dearest brother, Fang An's pain is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Yu Xiaotian slowly walked to Fang An's side, put a hand on his shoulder, patted him lightly a few times, and said, "One less Ma Feng, you still have our brothers!" If you want to cry, cry out! ”
As soon as Yu Xiaotian's words fell, Fang An threw himself in front of Wang Hong's grave and cried loudly......
