033 Ghost Tram (6)
033
The closer the crowd gets, the more he can feel the enthusiasm of those people, the way the voices are boiling, and the sound of convergence can be heard even by him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Unfortunately, the speed of the crowd was not fast, and it paused from time to time, and every time at this time, those people gathered and waved their arms like crazy, and they didn't know what was going on or what was going on.
Even if Zhang Xiao was full of curiosity, he had to wait patiently at this time, he didn't dare to really go down and take a look.
Idle, he quietly looked at the people in the car again, although he didn't look back at the back half of the carriage, but these people in front of him looked indifferent, no, he even felt that the pale woman next to him shrank when there was a burst of shouting outside,
"Scared?"
Zhang Xiao didn't know what scared the passenger next to him, but he knew that the passengers on the ghost tram were all ghosts.
"Wait...... Ghost? ”
Only then did he remember that he had neglected before—that the strong man who got out of the car had disappeared; The brawny man caused a strange change in time and space outside the car door and disappeared.
Zhang Xiao frowned, looking outside the door, the empty street, the vegetable market, and the boiling people......
Suddenly there was another commotion, although there were still 100 meters, but this time Zhang Xiao finally saw what was going on there.
There were constant shouts and curses from the boiling crowd, and some people threw rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even stones and garbage into the center of the crowd.
And there's a prisoner van there! And the red-clad headless ghost who got off the tram!
The headless ghost was now dressed in white prison clothes, and he looked a little thin and weak, but even if he was embarrassed, he still held his chest high and raised his head, and he was unyielding.
"No......" Zhang Xiao muttered, "Kill the head of the vegetable market?" ”
Isn't that the place outside the entrance of the vegetable market...... Isn't that white-clad prisoner a decapitator...... And the scene in front of him is not the "decapitation of the noon gate" sung in the play.
The statement in the play is not true, and the Caishikou is not in the noon gate, to be exact, the location of the Caishikou is outside the Xuanwu Gate in Sijiu City, and the beheading of the noon gate is a false rumor.
But the killing of the head at the entrance of the vegetable market is a real thing.
I don't know if the people of Sijiu City are born without taboos, whether they are selling vegetables or selling vegetables, they all seem to have no taboos; The vegetable market usually sells vegetables, but when it needs to be executed, it becomes a killing ground, and after the execution, there is still a vegetable sale, and it is said that the sale is even better, which can really be regarded as a ghost and god taboo.
Zhang Xiao has never been to the field, so there is no way to judge whether the scene in front of him happened in the former Sijiu City vegetable market. However, now the vegetable market is no longer a place to kill heads, even if it is the same place, I don't know how much face it has retained, and it may not be useful if I have been there.
The prisoner cart on the street finally arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market with all kinds of garbage, and the white-clothed prisoners inside were already bleeding and embarrassed, and they didn't know how many vegetable gangs were hanging on their bodies, but they just looked up unyieldingly, and a few people in soap clothes shouted a few times, and the crowd separated and occupied the remaining good positions.
Zhang Xiao saw that at some point, there was a middle-aged man in an official uniform sitting on a temporary desk, who should be the supervisor and beheader, with officials and guards on both sides, and all of them were carrying knives at their waists and holding canes in their hands, with a solemn face.
Zhang Xiao didn't know much about the official uniforms of various dynasties and generations, and he couldn't understand what kind of birds and beasts were painted on the official's body, but the rat's tail in front of him let him know that this should be the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Xiao is not surprised by the confusion of time and space, the scene in front of him is likely to be the fragment before the death of the decapitated ghost, or his memory.
It's just that he doesn't understand what this has to do with the ghost tram, why the tram stops here to watch the memory of the guillotine being killed.
After a while, the decapitated ghost of the white-clothed prisoner was pressed out of the prison car, carrying a death card on his back, and fell to his knees in the center of the field.
Zhang Xiao frowned and looked at the death card, this thing is also called the crime card, and the crime of the criminal is written on it, he wants to see what kind of head killing crime the severed head ghost has committed, and he has to go to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead him.
You must know that the death penalty for killing the head in ancient times is not a sentence that is sentenced, during the Qing Dynasty, there was a "autumn trial", which was a review of the death penalty cases in various provinces by the imperial court, and the cases were divided into four categories: facts, probation, referendibility, and retention of ancestors.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a tradition of autumn executions, and since the Western Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the Confucian master Dong Zhongshu's doctrine of heaven and man induction was very popular, and the court law was also based on this, so there was a saying of "beheading after autumn"; Autumn and winter killing, everything withers, and killing people after autumn is also a move to conform to the time; Therefore, as the Son of Heaven, most of the emperors of various dynasties and generations have maintained this tradition.
But although it is not the spring when the grass grows and the warbler flies outside the tram door, the scorching sun is very hot, the heat is rising, and the cries of knowing are endless, and it is obviously not autumn.
The crime of the severed head is very clear.
In ancient times, only a few crimes were convicted, and the most serious crime was the "great crime of rebellion".
In the Qing Dynasty, most of the so-called rebellion can basically be summed up in four words.
Anti-Qing and regain sight!
At the beginning of the Manchu people's entry into the customs, there were horrific massacres such as the Ten Days in Yangzhou, the Three Massacres in Jiading, and the Guangzhou Massacre, how many ordinary people were ruined, and how many places were ten rooms and nine empty, and when the Qing court sat firmly in the country and became the Qing Dynasty, some people could be obedient to the people, and naturally some people did not want to be slaves, and there was a foundation for opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty; Not to mention that shaving hair and easy clothes destroyed the Han culture, and the text imprisoned the national thought, if you want to say that there was a Qing Dynasty, there were never fewer internal rebellions, and the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty were the banner of all flag bearers.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, some of the rebellions just want to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and some of them take advantage of the righteousness of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in addition to the common people who really fought with their lives to resist, the others do not know how much is the transaction of various authorities, the promotion of conspirators, and the demands of various classes...... However, when I think about it, the person in front of me is obviously not such a speculator.
Looking at this faction of people, I am afraid that they have never succumbed to the Manchu court, and they have joined the officialdom for the sake of the rise of the nation.
He really saw the word rebellion on the guilty card behind the man, and the other handwriting was not very clear, and the two words were also vague, and I don't know if it meant that the decapitated ghost had never been loyal to the Manchurians, so he naturally disdained the word rebellion.
As a Han Chinese, Zhang Xiao had no good impression of the Qing Dynasty, and he also knew a lot about such history, and every emperor of the Qing court killed a lot of people with lofty ideals, which made him quite curious about the identity of the decapitated ghost.
The scene in front of me is ironic, those who watched the excitement should be the same Han people as the white-clothed prisoners waiting for execution, but at this time, they were not angry at all, but watched the excitement with excitement, which was really like the last scene of Ah Q's beheading in Lu Xun's biography.
Looking at the clothes and costumes worn by the surrounding people, although they have the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, there are also many modern elements, could it be that this decapitated ghost is a modern person?
This made him even more curious about the identity of this person who was rarely awake in a world full of filth, no, the identity of a ghost who died generously.
Smack-
"Zhao Feizhuang! Thou shalt be convicted! ”
Suddenly, he was shocked, and he didn't know that the official had found this thing from there, but Zhang Xiao, who was concentrated, was startled.
Zhang Xiao looked up, but he didn't know when he knelt at the entrance of the vegetable market.
He's become a decapitator!

Piace: Zhao Feizhuang has a prototype.
