Chapter 690: Law Field
Although Mu Yingbao knows some ancient customs, such as the beheading at the noon gate, there is a saying.
In the past, whether it was a movie or TV series in ancient times, it was said that it would be cut at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then why do you have to set a time to kill the first prisoner, the legend is that the knife is cut at three quarters of an hour in the afternoon, when the yang energy is at its peak, the yin energy dissipates immediately, and the heinous criminal who is killed is not even a chance to be a ghost.
If you are alive, you will do all the bad things, and if you die and become a ghost, you must be a ghost, of course not.
Then why can Zhou Zhi'an be executed in the morning, could it be that Brother Hui can't wait to kill him to avenge his family?
No, after the first night Mu Yingbao and the two were happy, she asked this question very sadly, Xue Wenyu told her that the noon gate yang qi of the imperial city is the best, and the emperor is the ninety-five honor, and the emperor opened his mouth to launch the noon gate beheading, and there is no ghost to do.
Old Man Fan, Luo Yi and Shang Xiaohu personally went to the dungeon of Dali Temple to escort people, and Mu Yingbao and they just had to wait at the noon gate.
On the way to go, Mu Yingbao was entangled in a question, in her impression and understanding, this noon gate is a place of execution, it should be a very terrifying place, so how can it be so close to the palace? Don't even use a carriage, just take a sedan chair over?
Seeing the inner prison maids cleaning along the way, the expressions of each one were different from the past, Mu Yingbao felt that it must be related to the execution of Zhou Zhi'an, but if you look closely, the expressions on their faces are not the sadness that the old master was executed.
It seems that there is more of a nervousness, and the rest is all about caution.
Mu Yingbao even wanted to ask the sedan chair to stop and go down to comfort them, what are you nervous about? Zhou Zhi'an's family members didn't treat them to death, so how could they embarrass them, who are working at the bottom!
After thinking about it, Mu Yingbao dispelled this thought, there was no need to comfort them at all, and after the execution of that Zhou Zhi'an, it would not take them a few days to completely relax.
"Xue Wenyu?" Mu Yingbao turned her head and asked softly beside her.
"Huh?" Xue Wenyu has been paying attention to her for a long time, he is really a little confused, is she so excited because of Brother Hui's murderous revenge? Or are you excited because you haven't seen the execution of the old emperor?
"I've always heard that the noon gate is noon, where is it?" Mu Yingbao asked in a low voice, she couldn't help but be curious.
"I took you to, the noon gate is the main gate of the imperial city, didn't I tell you, isn't there that everyone can walk, five door holes, the middle one is only the emperor can walk. When the queen who is married to the Ming media enters the imperial city, she can go once. ”
Before Xue Wenyu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Yingbao; "I remember, I remember, you said that the top three in the palace exam every year, the champion, and the flower list, can also go once when you leave the palace.
The officials on both sides of the door can walk, I remember this, but you didn't tell me at the time, and the head was cut off there. ”
"Wrong, it's the champion, the leader, the flower." Xue Wenyu corrected.
Mu Yingbao waved her hand impatiently, at this time, who wants to be more serious, who is in front of Tanhua, who is behind! Whoever arranged it, the pitch couldn't help but be a little high; "Such an important position for chopping off the prisoner's head? Who decides, the head is in the water, right? ”
When Xue Wenyu heard this, it was too late to cover her mouth, forget it, the entourage was all his own people, even if the nearby Jinyi Wei still heard it, it didn't matter.
At most, that is to say, this lady is just making some fuss.
At the same time, Mu Yingbao herself felt that it was too exaggerated just now, and hurriedly lowered her voice again; "How bloody, how panicked."
Xue Wenyu looked at her appearance, and didn't feel that he had no face at all because he married such a person who should understand a lot of things but didn't understand, but felt very cute.
"Since ancient times, the construction of the imperial city has been very exquisite, and the place where the emperor went to court, the dormitory was also according to feng shui. The main entrance of the Imperial City is the place where the yang energy is heaviest, and it is the most suitable place to execute felons.
The prisoners were executed, and someone immediately cleaned them up. Xue Wenyu patiently explained.
After explaining, looking at the brow next to him, it became even more twisted.
"How do I remember that the play also sang that the prisoner was pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded? Could it be that it was because the important criminals of the imperial city were beheaded at the noon gate, and then in other places, where there was no noon gate, they were at the entrance of the vegetable market? Mu Yingbao felt that the people in power in ancient times had a very different thinking from modern ones.
In the past, when executing condemned prisoners in modern times, the prisoners were all pulled into the ravine and shot, which was so perverted as in ancient times, even if it was not at the noon gate, the entrance of the vegetable market, when I heard it, it was a very lively place where people came and went selling vegetables.
The execution of prisoners in such a place is simply to set an example for the people and to serve as a deterrent to the people.
Look, don't make a mistake, if you are caught as a traitor, this is the end of this losing your head!
Xue Wenyu was very puzzled, why his daughter-in-law was so entangled in this issue.
Just as he was about to ask her, the sedan chair stopped, and Lin Chuanyu, who was accompanying her outside, reported.
Xue Wenyu got off the sedan chair, turned around and stretched out his hand very naturally, watching Mu Yingbao help his arm out of the sedan chair, and then led her to follow Brother Hui in front of him and get on a high platform built together.
This is similar to the scene seen on TV, Mu Yingbao looked around, even if it was so early, there were still a lot of people who came to watch, not to mention the crowds, it was also dark and oppressive.
"How?" Xue Wenyu saw his daughter-in-law frowning again, thinking that she had noticed something wrong, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"Cutting off your head is not a shadow puppet show, and you still hold your child, how can you do this?" Mu Yingbao thought it was incredible.
If you don't have a strong quality when you see someone cut off their heads, you will have nightmares for a few days when you go back, let alone a child of a few years old.
The onlookers were about 200 meters away from the stands, and the city soldiers formed a human wall next to each other, isolating them.
Mu Yingbao just complained casually, but Xue Wenyu followed her line of sight, and really saw a woman holding a five or six-year-old child in her arms.
Xue Wenyu glanced at the subordinates beside him, Lin Chuan immediately stepped forward, nodded in listening to the master's low command, and led people around the crowd.
"What, is it really wrong? No, catch it first, in case people really just lack the heart, so they take their children to see the excitement, don't kill the innocent by mistake. Mu Yingbao looked at the exchange between Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan, and reminded in a low voice.
As he said this, his eyes followed Lin Chuan and the others, and suddenly, Mu Yingbao pulled Xue Wenyu's sleeve; "It's really wrong, you see, she actually held the child and stepped back."
If you really look at the excitement, you finally occupy the front position, why retreat into the crowd when you see someone walking towards that side?
"Could it be that there is really going to be a robbery of the Dharma Field today?" When Mu Yingbao said this, she looked at Brother Hui uneasily......
