Chapter 384: Drip Punishment

The rest of the soldiers hurriedly supported the lord and fled in a hurry, Liu Bei cared how many dead and wounded his defenders had, hurriedly mounted his horse, and fled to the west dizzily.

Zhang Liang, who had long been familiar with his temperament, sighed, organized the panicked Han army to resist the enemy, and brought the family of the Han King to chase his own son of heaven behind.

The Han army under the command of Fan Xu also counted on the thick copper gate to prevent the Chu army from entering, but after hearing a few loud roars, the gate was also blown open a big hole, and the Chu army swarmed to slash and kill as much as they could.

Chang'an was recovered, Fan Hao was arrested, in order to give his lord more time to escape, Fan Hao fought to the last breath.

However, the advent of black powder has interrupted the balance between the north and the south.

Relying on this siege weapon, the Chu army was invincible and invincible.

Luo Bo, who was leaning on the copper tripod, felt that the aura was getting stronger and stronger, and he understood that this tripod was related to the territory.

The more territory he gets, the more the aura in the ding is instilled into Luo Bo, and Luo Bo actually feels that the night is like day at this time, looking at thousands of miles, and leaping into the sky to the sky.

Could this be "Breaking Wonderland!" ”

Luo Bo secretly rejoiced, "It seems that you still need to get the entire Central Plains, and you can also see your final strength!" Robb looked at the sky again, "A tyrant in the Central Plains, it's fun!" ”

Yiyang broke, Lu Ze and Lu Juan died...

Shaojun broke, Xue Ou and Wang sucked to death...

Handan is broken, Xiahou infant died...

Yongzhou is broken, Chen Ping descends...

The last land of Bashu was also recovered in an instant, Cao participated in the battle and died, and Zhang Liang escaped incognito. . .

Liu Bang's gray hair flew in the air, and the five flowers were tied up in front of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu looked at the four directions, "Mr. told me to convince people with virtue, I won't kill you!" ”

At this time, the world has been decided, and Robb is in a hidden place, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in Dingnei.

She Ji must not be let know that the aura in this tripod is surging, and it is instilled into Robb's body majestically.

The bronze tripod appeared cracked, and then slowly cracked out a big hole until it broke.

Luo Bo stretched a comfortable waist, "Sheji, even if you come, I'm not afraid of you." ”

At this time, above the Pengdu Palace, Xiang Yu once again divided the world.

Luo Bo didn't go over, but waited for Sheji to come, but saw Ji Bu coming angrily.

"General, today the state of Chu is newly established and the world is sealed, why are you like this?"

"Sir..."

Ji Bu wanted to speak and stopped, sighed lightly or left.

Rob tugged at his arm, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"We, the old ministers, Yu Zi Period, Zhong Liwu, etc., have all been sent to remote places. . . ."

Luo Bo was slightly stunned, "Let's go, I'll take you to find the overlord!" ”

Ji Bu was shocked, "By all means, the king of Yue, Wu Zhu, wanted Zhao Tuo's son to be the king for his father, and he was given a hundred overlord court rods and let him go, and... ”

"What else!"

"Wu Rui has been put on death row...

Robb was speechless, it seems that he wants to change a person, really... Hard!

"Sir, don't go, the overlord has divided the Xiang clan into the kings of the world, you go now, the overlord has lost face, and it is not good for you!"

Robb also sighed quietly, "Sir... ”

"You say!"

"The king to you ... Not a word! ”

"Haha, I should leave too, it's just that this overlord is too stingy."

"There is also the King of Han, who said that he let him go, but he was sentenced to 'drip punishment'."

Luo Bo didn't expect Xiang Yu to become so cruel,

The invention of drip punishment came from the accidental negligence of a slave. Once, while the king was walking in the court, a servant served tea to the king, and he was very frightened when he waited for him for the first time, and accidentally spilled a little, and a drop of water fell on the king's robe. He was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the cup and fell to the ground, not even daring to take a breath, only his body was trembling. The king's brow tightened slightly, and then he immediately relaxed. Softly said to him, "It doesn't matter, I will not put a sword on you, but what you gave me, I will give you back double." Both left and right praised the magnanimity of the Shang king.

The Shang king then announced the disposition of the slave: let the drops of water continue to drip on the top of his head. The slave thought that he would not die, and kowtowed like garlic, and tears flowed out.

In order to faithfully carry out this dripping punishment, the penal officer devised a device: at the four corners of a square base, four columns supported a hard plank, in the center of which there was a palm-sized hole, and the errant slave sat on a comfortable chair in the middle of the base, and the top of his head peeked out of the hole. The slave's head was immobilized and his limbs were free, but he could not reach the top of his head peeking out of the hole because of the hardwood planks above his head. There was a bucket hanging above his head, and a small hole was cut into the bottom of the bucket, allowing the water to slowly drip on the top of the prisoner's head. The criminal officer fills the bucket with water every morning, and the bucket is dripping exactly enough in a day. This device has no blade, fulfilling the promise of the king of the sword not to be added to the body.

In the first period of execution, the erring slave was even somewhat inexplicable, for apart from the inability to move his head, the process was nothing short of enjoyable compared to his old life: he sat in a soft and comfortable chairβ€”he had never sat in such a comfortable chair in his life, and the prisoner served him like a slave, bringing him three full meals a day, and changing the toilet when he needed to defecate β€”

Half a month later, the prisoner felt a little strange on the top of his head, maybe it was because he had been dripping water and felt numb, the strange feeling was not obvious, and he had to experience it carefully to be aware of it. "Your scalp is already softening." The criminal officer sighed. The prisoner was a little uneasy when he heard this, but he didn't think it would be anything: "Soak soft, soak soft." ”

"The hair on the top of your head is starting to fall down." Nearly another month passed, and the criminal officer told the prisoner solemnly. The King and his retinue were also present, and both the retinue and the prisoner sensed that things were not easy, and the relaxed expression on their faces was gone.

When the executioner told the prisoner that the hair on the top of his head was about to fall out, the prisoner felt a little pain on the top of his head, and the pain was no longer as faint as before, and he could feel it more clearly when he ate and chewed. In fact, the scalp on top of his head was completely soft, white and thick, and began to crack and peel off under the action of water droplets.

The scalp, soaked in water and about to peel off, began to rot, attracting flies. While driving away flies, the criminal officer boiled a medicinal soup and added it to a bucket of water every day to stop scalp decay. Under the extremely slow and gentle washing of the water droplets, the scalp broke away from the Heavenly Spirit Cover piece by piece, revealing the white skull. The prisoner was already in so much pain that he couldn't eat or sleep, and he asked the criminal officer when it was the end, and he couldn't stand it. The criminal officer reluctantly said that no one had experience in this matter, and no one could answer his question.
