The skin-keeping knife method, as the name suggests, is to kill the prisoner while not completely flying out of the prisoner's head, but to keep a little bit of flesh skin, so that the head is connected to the body.

Some people will think that this is a big deal, in fact, the power control is really not something that ordinary people can master, it must be practiced all year round, you must know that the growth of a qualified executioner is a very long process, and some of them have grown to the extreme in their lives, that is, a knife down, and the body is separated.

Seeing this, someone will ask again, this person is dead anyway, what is the use of leaving this little bit of meat skin when cutting off the head.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the feudal thinking of the Chinese people, before the Republic of China, Chinese were very feudal, thinking that the parents of the body hair and skin, losing the hair is a big deal, not to mention cutting off the head.

At that time, people thought that if a person died, he should be buried completely, so that he could continue to be a healthy person in the next life, if he could not be fully buried, then the next life was likely to be buried where he was missing, where he was not sound in the next life, the next life without legs was a lame, the next life without arms was a one-armed, and without a head, he could not be reincarnated in the next life.

Therefore, in ancient times, even after a person was beheaded, he had to ask a leatherman to sew up his head again, and if he could leave some flesh and skin when cutting off his head, it would be of great help to people who committed reincarnation in their next life.

This also once again established the Yu family's position as the leader of the executioner world, it can be said that the Yu family's status in the executioner world is prestigious, and because the Yu family's prestige in the executioner world is too famous, even the big officials in the court at that time also had a lot of face for the Yu family.

After all, the political situation at the end of the Qing Dynasty was chaotic, and no one in charge dared to guarantee that his head would stay for a few days, and he would have a good relationship with the executioner Yu Jia, and he might be able to use it in the future.

Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the government was turbulent and the world was uneasy, the Yu family became a noble family, although it was not too noble, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was more than rich.

However, although the Yu family was so prominent at that time, the Yu family also had its own troubles, the Yu family used to be regarded as a prosperous family, but since the Yu family became an executioner six generations ago, the Yu family began to suddenly die in a large area, and finally only one family died, and since then, the Yu family has begun to pass on a single line, no matter how rich the Yu family is and how many wives they marry, but in the end they can only give birth to a baby boy.

Maybe it will be broken from when, the Yu family, as a family of executioners, can be regarded as half of the people in the yin line, and finally the Yu family found an old Taoist priest to calculate for them, and the old Taoist priest told them that the executioner has hurt Tiande, and the head of the person is regarded as unknown, so the Yu family can only pass on a single line.

At that time, the fortune teller was the fourth generation of the Yu family, that is, Yu Liu's grandfather, and when Yu Liu's grandfather knew about it, he prepared a golden basin to wash his hands and never let his Yu family eat the executioner's bowl of rice again.

But at that time, the old Taoist priest stopped Yu Liu's grandfather and told Yu Liu's grandfather that the Yu family had six generations of executioners in their lives, and if they did not become the executioners of the six generations, the Yu family might encounter great disasters and become extinct, and if they were to do six generations, they would cut off the executioner's evil spirit with secret methods, and the descendants of the Yu family would not only be able to prosper, but also be rich and noble, and become a first-class prominent family.

Yu Liu's grandfather was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked the Taoist priest for the secret method, but the Taoist priest did not sell the guanzi, and gave Yu Liu's grandfather a list of secret methods.

The list said that when it came to the sixth generation of the Yu family, that is, Yu Liu's generation, the execution of criminals must not exceed 100 people, and more than 100 people was a bad omen, so Lao Dao told Yu Liu's grandfather that when it came to Yu Liu's generation, Yu Liu could only kill ninety-nine people in his life, and it was not possible to kill one more or less, and when killing, the first ninety-four did not have any requirements, but the last five lives must be one for each of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the interval between the time of killing could not exceed three days.

When Yu Liu's generation completes this task, then the Yu family will not only prosper in the future, but also be rich and wealthy.

Grandpa Yu Liu recorded this incident at that time, kept it in his heart, and finally passed it on to Yu Liu.

After Yu Liu knew the curse of the family, he also practiced his skills hard to make himself an absolutely excellent executioner, after all, if Yu Liu wanted to complete the ancestral training left by his grandfather, he must become the leader of the executioner's hands, otherwise, he would not have the right to choose people to commit crimes, and at that time, what qualifications would he have to arrange for himself to be executed by the people of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

People have a goal to have motivation, Yu Liu is because of this goal to work hard to train themselves, at the age of four began to practice killing chickens, at the age of five began to practice killing rabbits, at the age of seven began to kill dogs, at the age of ten practiced killing pigs, killing pigs for five years, at the age of fifteen began to cut off the head on the execution ground for the first time.

worked until he was thirty-two years old, Yu Liu finally cut off the heads of ninety-four criminals, and at the same time promoted his identity to the identity of the first executioner in the capital, one of the most powerful feats was when he changed the law in Wuxu, as an executioner, he personally cut off the head of Tan Sitong among the six gentlemen of Wuxu.

That time was also the last time Yu Liu wanted to do it, but unfortunately Yu Liu was just an executioner, and he could only carry out the orders above, when he cut Tan Sitong, he personally kowtowed to Tan Sitong three times, and he can still remember the famous words that Tan Sitong said at the end of being beheaded: "I smiled at the sky from the horizontal knife, and went to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun!" ”

With his superb skills, Yu Liu finally sat down as the head of the executioners of the Yamen, and sitting in this position, he could finally freely arrange for his executioners to be executed, and he could not be executed.

And taking advantage of this right, he began to wait for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity for five people with different personalities to be executed at the same time, or the opportunity for the execution time to be very close, and so on, and so on, for several years, after all, the execution time of the person who committed the crime was not under his control, and he could only push the boat with the current, and could not change the judgment of the officials.

It's like this person is sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, then Yu Liu wants to kill this person, but he can only wait until the autumn queen, and even if he encounters an amnesty after the autumn, then there is no chance.

Therefore, such an opportunity is not easy to wait, but no matter how bad it is, Yu Liu has to wait, and the hard work pays off, and finally one day Yu Liu finally waited for the opportunity, but the sad thing is that something went wrong in the middle!
