"So, this green was stolen by the lama who made a proposal to General Jihei to set up a town?

No, as the saying goes, 'If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle'!

It is only natural for the knife to be broken and broken during the execution.

On the contrary, the loss of the torture knife is the crime of dereliction of duty, why should those officials of the criminal department avoid the severity of the punishment? ”

Listening to the fox's question, Ma Laoke shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Shangxian, you don't know, they come to the criminal department, and losing a knife is not a big deal.

If this torture knife is broken during the execution, it will be a major event that affects the top of the head! ”

Listening to Ma Laoke, in order to deter those extremely vicious and stubborn criminals, the imperial court specially set up a separate 'chopping punishment' on top of beheading.

The intention is to make sinners suffer enough before they die, and to warn those with ulterior motives with the crishing wails of those who are about to die.

Therefore, those criminals who have been sentenced to death have always had to suffer enough knives on the execution ground to end their lives and give him a good time.

After the executioner had cut the number of knives he had to cut, the officer of the penal department who was in charge of the execution had to pick up a handful of salty salt particles by hand and throw them over the wound of the criminal.

After the prisoner had to see the prisoner shake again by the salt, so as to prove that he was indeed alive, the executioner could cut the prisoner's throat with a knife and send him back to the west.

If the criminal had been stabbed to death without a few stabs, then the executioner in charge of the execution would have been treated as a prisoner of appeasement.

The number of knives that were cut less had to fall on the executioner one by one...... It's a terrible job.

"The old man once heard that some of the wealthy death row inmates would bribe the executioner who was responsible for carrying out the execution with a large sum of money in advance.

When you are punished in the court, you can buy a 'pardon' for yourself and suffer less of these trivial sufferings. ”

The so-called 'pardon', that is, in the process of execution, the torture knife was suddenly broken!

The superstitious Dharma is the virtue of a good life, and no one can be seen suffering from this piecemeal work, so miracles are manifested.

As mentioned earlier, these executioners in the criminal department who go on a red business trip and deal with the dead back and forth are a top superstition.

Once the knife is broken during the execution, the executioner in charge of the execution will fall to his knees and kowtow to the upper echelons repeatedly, claiming that he was also ordered to do an errand.

Since this person is not guilty of sins, he will never dare to cut another knife.

The executioner knelt down, and the prison officer on the court made a difficulty.

If you want to force these executioners to change their knives and continue the execution, those few people are kneeling there and kowtowing, and it is clear that no one will accept this errand, so must the prison officer himself do this work?

Those executioners are all masters who have seen live pigs and live sheep, where can a supervisor and a two-list jinshi who reads the Four Books and Five Classics do this?

What if he accidentally cut the prisoner's artery and killed him with a single knife, the hundreds of knives that the prisoner owed must not be cut on the prisoner's body?

After thinking about it, the official who was in charge of the beheading could only ask his subordinates to summon the executioner who was kneeling on the ground and quietly instruct him a few words.

Its content is nothing more than 'As long as you don't see the pardon letter given by your boss, it will be difficult for the prisoner who has been on the court to live, otherwise we will all be guilty of killing the head.'

But the words are back, since the pardon is issued, then let's not continue to embarrass this death row prisoner, hurry up and break him off, and turn around to deal with the above.

In this way, the death row prisoner was reduced by one degree, and he got what he wanted and went on the road happily.

The executioner is also considered to have fulfilled the family's entrustment, and there is a large amount of silver in his pocket.

As for the broken torture knife, he simply pushed it because he accidentally lost it during his daily practice, and the matter was revealed by paying a few taels of forging silver.

But where in the world can there be any 'forgiveness'.

The reason why this torture knife will break is actually that the executioner secretly exerts his skill with the fingers holding the torture knife and forcibly breaks it from it!

This is why the torture knife must be cast in the shape of a hollow blade, and it can be regarded as one of the bad rules that their criminal department refuses to say to people.

"That time, the old man listened to the green that was enshrined by the Criminal Department and disappeared, and it was thought that someone had hit this green with the idea of making money.

We who run the rivers and lakes must do things according to the rules, and we can't break everything if we see through it.

So after hearing it, I laughed, and I put this verse out of my mind, and now it seems that there is something in this! ”

At this point, Ma Laoke raised his head and smiled at Yang Congxun with deep meaning: "Get up, the old man is also a little popular in the yamen of this criminal department."

If the virtuous nephew wants to find out how this green sword disappeared in the incense hall of the criminal department, the old man can also do some modest help behind the scenes. ”

At the end, Ma Laoke deliberately waved his hand at Yang Congxun: "The virtuous nephew doesn't need to thank us, as long as the virtuous nephew goes to the old man outside the gate to find something along the way, it will be enough to feel gracious." ”

After blurting out these words, Ma Laoke stopped talking, just stood quietly aside, laughing and groaning.

I saw Yang Congxun frowning and thinking hard for a long time, before nodding heavily at Ma Laoke.

"Even so, it seems that the juniors have to try their best to pick up this burden, but I don't know what the seniors need to find?"

finished, Yang Congxun coughed heavily: "There is an ugly sentence in the head, the juniors are shallow, and it is difficult to show off this vision and insight in front of the seniors......

If the juniors are accidentally blindfolded outside the customs, the items found are not right, and the seniors should not be blamed. ”

Who knew that the old man Ma on the other side laughed when he heard it: "The virtuous nephew is really worried about this time."

Although the things that the old man asked his nephew to look for this time were very rare, there was absolutely no possibility of being impersonated. ”

After that, Ma Laoke slapped his left thigh with his hand: "When the old man walked the mountain back then, he relied on his strong body and strong blood, and he didn't take lying on the ice and snow seriously.

As a result, in the end, he sat down with an old cold leg, and this leg hurt so much that he could hardly walk in winter. ”

With that, Ma Laoke raised his head suddenly, and a few hints of eagerness burst out of his eyes.

"For today's plan, I can only cheekily beg my nephew to go to the customs for the old man to find a skin that can protect his knees and keep him warm...... A skin peeled from the body of the Red Pony Fire Dragon! ”

When he heard Ma Laoke spit out the words 'Red Horse Fire Dragon' in his mouth, Hu Sandeng, who was holding his paws and sending puff pastry and jujube paste stuffed cakes to his mouth, was taken aback, and choked on the dim sum stuffed in his mouth, and coughed up countless crumbs at once.

"Okay, you old man, aren't you living a confused life? How dare you let us skin the fire dragon?! ”
