Chapter 49 Torture
After a simple review, the disguised trio smoothly entered Xiangcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as I entered the city, a noisy shouting could be heard in the square on the left.
Following this voice, I saw dozens of thick pillars erected on the square over there, and most of the pillars were hung with people, basically, these people were already lifeless, and some of them had even opened their skin and flesh, exposing their bones.
And the cry came from under these pillars.
In line with the principle that there is a lively must be seen, Mo Li pulled Shenyue and Naro towards the direction of the pillar.
Shenyue doesn't care, anyway, I'm here to hang out, and there's nothing wrong with seeing the excitement.
Na Luo is a hundred unwilling, what is there to see about this, this kind of thing often happens in Xiangcheng, for Na Luo, it has long been a trivial thing that is not strange and accustomed to it. It's just that the execution of some free city citizens who can't afford to pay taxes is really worthless.
Moreover, Na Luo is also very worried, with Mo Li's personality of joining in the fun, if he wants to run out to meddle in his affairs and do justice or something, how embarrassing it will be. To help or not to help, help, this kind of behavior is too idiotic for Naro. Don't help, Mo Li is the commander-in-chief of the legion, and Ji Buxuan personally canonized it, if something happens at that time, it will be difficult for him to explain. Of course, the most important thing is that soon the legion will attack Xiangcheng, if at this juncture, because of such a trivial matter, it will not be able to be drawn. After thinking about it, Na Luo decided that if Mo Li did anything to act bravely, he would knock Mo Li out and carry him back. Anyway, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing to stun Mo Li.
Squeezing through the crowd, the three of them came to the scene of the incident and witnessed a vicious wounding incident up close.
Mo Li squeezed over to watch the excitement. Shenyue squeezed over because Mo Li wanted to see the excitement. And Na Luo squeezed over in order to stun Mo Li at a critical moment.
Of course Na Luo doesn't have to worry about Shenyue, has anyone seen a female devil who fights to save the dead and help the wounded?
At the bottom of the pillar, an old couple with blue noses and swollen faces were prostrate on the ground, crying bitterly, begging a few city defense soldiers dressed in black in front of them.
"Please, please, let my wife go, please, uncles...... I'm kowtowing to you, you only kill me, let her go, next month, next month she will definitely be able to pay the tax. Please, please......" The old man with a bloody face, crying bitterly, begging, and constantly kowtowing, hoping that this can be exchanged for a glimmer of life for his wife.
The black-clothed man led by him stepped forward quickly, kicked the old man fiercely, and scolded: "Damn, old thing, what the are you talking about?" Want to live? If you want to live, hand over your daughter, don't say it's your old lady, it's you, we will also release it, at least you can be worry-free for three months, how about it? Figured it out. can't pay taxes, and you don't want to use your daughter to pay off your debts, do you still want us to let your wife live? Are you kidding. After saying that, he kicked the old man again.
The old lady struggled to reach out to the old man, and said in a trembling voice: "Old man, if you don't ask them, our daughter must not fall into their hands, we are old, and we will die when we die, and our daughter is still young, so we can't let her suffer like that." As she spoke, the old lady could not stop crying, and looked up the pillar in despair.
The man on the pillar was not strangled by his neck. Instead, strip off their clothes, make a few random cuts on their bodies, tie their hands with ropes, hang them in the air, and then tie a dozens of pounds of iron ** to their feet. People are hung there like this, left to fend for themselves, and no one cares about them anymore.
A living man, just like that, hanged from a stake, tired, hungry, thirsty, and painful. Blown by the wind, sun, and rained. Their hands and feet will soon be torn open by ropes, revealing the bones inside. Crows will fly to peck at their flesh, and before hanging up, several wounds are cut to facilitate the crows to eat.
The whole process, which lasts about three to five days, varies from person to person. Eventually, their corpses will be air-dried and turned into dried corpses. However, most of them have been eaten by the crows before they are dried.
Most of the people who will be hung here are elderly people who can't afford to pay their taxes, just like this old couple. They are often too old to do excessive physical work and become slaves. The meat has also become sour and hard, and the bones lack calcium, making it difficult to use as a meat slave, although they will be killed as meat slaves, but, at least most of them, they still die simply. These old people have nothing to entertain them with, so when they can't pay their monthly taxes, this is often what awaits them.
Of course, there are occasionally some young people who are hanged here, some of them have violated the laws of the city, some of them have insulted the city lord, and some of them have jumped out to do justice at this time.
On the pillar, most of the people were already dead, and some didn't even have much flesh left.
On the pillar not far from the two old men, there was a man who seemed to have a trace of breath, his tongue sticking out, breathing with great difficulty. The place where the wrist was tied by the rope, the skin and flesh had been completely broken, revealing a long section, Bai Sensen's small arm bones, and his hands had been blackened and necrotic, and I am afraid that he was no longer conscious at this time.
A crow, perched on his right shoulder, tilted its head and looked at the two old men who were weeping bitterly below, as if to say, "New food has arrived." After a while, the crow turned his head again, pecked a piece of meat from the man's shoulder, and swallowed it quickly.
The man felt the pain in his shoulder, and his face twitched slightly, and maybe all his strength was enough to twitch slightly. He himself knew that he was dead, and from the moment he was hanged, he was already a dead man. Now, his greatest wish is to let death come more easily, so that he can be freed from this pain sooner and sooner.
The crow, flapping its wings, jumped on the man's head, lowered his head, took out the man's eyeballs, threw his head up, and swallowed it.
Seeing this scene, the two old men cried even more bitterly, crawled over to each other with all their might, hugged each other tightly, and cried together.
The old man comforted the old lady in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, we're old, we're old, we can't last that long, we won't have so much pain." ”
"Old man, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you by my side." After saying that, the old lady went crazy, and desperately choked the old man's neck, trying to strangle the old man to death.
Yes, strangulation, you can suffer less and suffer less.
In these difficult years, you can't bear to worry about me and be tired, and I feel sorry for you who are getting haggard day by day. Groveling, distant, and never forsaking in the midst of this storm, you pray that I will live in peace, and I hope that you will not be tormented.
