Chapter 130: The Punishment of Removing the Heart
We can explain other issues clearly, but we really can't say anything about Huang Yunqiu, Huang Yunqiu has been hunted down by Yin Si since 1966, and the crime is the crime of rebellion, Huang Yunqiu has not dared to go down to Yin Si for so many years, what he is afraid of is that one day the East Window incident will happen. Moreover, Huang Yunqiu's matter is implicated by more than one person, once it is verified, the original group of people who were implicated will have to be jointly and severally responsible.
I thought that Cui Jue's calling Huang Yunqiu down was also some inconsequential little problem, but as soon as I heard Cui Jue's words, I secretly said that it was not good, as long as Huang Yunqiu came here, I was afraid that he would not be able to leave, and even my grandfather and his group would be implicated.
Cui Jue gave me the opportunity to give Huang Yunqiu a confession, and now he has also revealed to me the reason for arresting Huang Yunqiu, and has been looking at me and waiting for my confession.
But Huang Yunqiu's matter is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, so he had to say helplessly, "Didn't you say that the matter of Sichuan and Chongqing will be left alone for the time being." ”
"That's for you." Cui Jue said, and then walked back and forth in the City God Temple, and said, "Because of your justification just now, I will not try Yuan Shouyi, and your problem has been solved clearly, and you can leave with Yuan Shouyi in a while." I have to say that at your age, it is extremely rare to have such a clear way of thinking, to be able to accurately cut from the weak point of the problem, as long as there is no accident, it will definitely be a character in the future, but the talented person has always had a bad fate, there are two roads in front of you, one is to mess with Huang Yunqiu and them, and the other is not to mess with Huang Yunqiu and them, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, you have to think clearly. ”
Cui Jue is warning me, don't go against Yin Si, don't go down the road of Huang Yunqiu's rebellion, how can I not understand.
But this is not something I can choose, I have had to stand on Huang Yunqiu's side since I was born, mainly I get along with Huang Yunqiu and them very well, of course I won't say this to Cui Jue in person, so I replied, "I know." ”
After waiting for about half an hour, Yuan Shouyi and Huang Yunqiu were late, and as soon as Cui Jue arrived, he let go of Yuan Shouyi and said, "He has already helped you explain it just now, you two can go back to the yang world, and Huang Yunqiu will stay." ”
Yuan Shouyi and Huang Yunqiu naturally knew that the person in front of them was Cui Jue, and the two saluted at the same time.
Huang Yunqiu naturally knew what he had done, so he didn't ask much, and said directly to me and Yuan Shouyi, "You guys go back first, I can handle it myself, sooner or later there will be such a day." ”
Cui Jue also said, "Her affairs are not something that the two of you can participate in, I also suggest that you leave as soon as possible, I will interrogate her alone, after the merits are cleared, I will act impartially, and I don't have to worry that I will be able to suppress her." ”
Yuan Shouyi and I looked at each other, this matter is really not something we can solve, every time at this time, we can only think of Liu Cheng, and only Liu Cheng can save Huang Yunqiu.
Yuan Shouyi and I thought about it together and decided to go to Liu Cheng for help.
Before we had time to leave, Huang Yunqiu asked Cui Jue directly, "You don't need to interrogate, I admit it all, there were also Chenghuang who looked for me at the beginning, and they didn't ask anything from my mouth, since I have been hiding for so many years, it means that I will not tell the specific truth, so I advise you not to waste time, just judge directly." ”
Huang Yunqiu obviously knew how serious her crime was, and if the verdict came down, it would be a dead end, wasn't she bent on begging for death?
Yuan Shouyi and I looked at her puzzled, Huang Yunqiu looked calm, thinking that she was afraid that more people would be implicated, so the early judgment would allow fewer people to be involved, so that my grandfather and they could be saved.
Cui Jue was not surprised that Huang Yunqiu took the initiative to ask for a verdict, smiled and said, "When I came, I explained to me that those who were related to that incident back then would be executed directly with the most severe punishment without interrogation, and the most severe punishment for Yin Si was 'heart picking', I know that there were many capable people who planned that incident with you, are you sure you won't delay for a while and wait for them to save you?" ”
The people above the Yin Division were not allowed to interrogate, and it was probably because they were afraid that these people would find a gap and escape the sanctions of the Yin Division, and the direct judgment was the most straightforward.
Huang Yunqiu shook his head after hearing this, "No." ”
Cui Jue sighed, "Okay, you are ready to prepare, and after the heartbreaking, you can go back to the yang world with them." ”
Saying that, he asked people to take Huang Yunqiu down first, and Cui Jue then recruited someone to come, "Take my plain clothes and lead me to the white horse." Not long after speaking, someone brought a set of pure white robes and led a white horse to wait outside the City God Temple.
Cui Jue put on plain clothes and entered the inner hall, and I asked Yuan Shouyi, "What is the punishment for heart-picking?" ”
Yuan Shouyi said, "The five organs belong to the five elements, and the heart belongs to fire, which is the thing that gathers vitality and soul. The soul of the living will lose its vitality, and the soul will not dissipate immediately, and a wisp of the soul will be dispersed between every six fingers, and the soul will be scattered in five hundred fingers, and the soul will be dispersed after the heart-picking soul suffers the most unbearable pain in the world, which is equivalent to the punishment of a thousand knives in ancient times. ”
I feel a chill in my back when I hear it, a flick of my fingers is ten seconds, and six flicks of my fingers is one minute, this punishment of heart-picking is equivalent to cutting off a piece of meat on the body every minute, and a total of thirty pieces of meat will be cut before he dies, this kind of pain even a man can't bear, why doesn't Huang Yunqiu fight for it?
I hurriedly said to Yuan Shouyi, "Let's go back to my master now and ask him to save people." ”
Yuan Shouyi shook his head and said, "This girl doesn't look like a person who wants to die, she should have her own plans, don't disrupt her plans, let's wait with peace of mind." ”
That being said, what if Huang Yunqiu didn't have any plans?
But time did not allow, and we waited here for less than five minutes before someone came out with a wooden plate with a white cloth next to it and a knife next to it, and stood respectfully with the plate.
Cui Jue also walked out at this time, dressed in white, and sat behind the table, Huang Yunqiu was also brought out at this time, kneeling in the City God Temple.
Cui Jue took a deep breath, looked at Huang Yunqiu below and said, "I flatter the will of heaven, the sun and the moon on my head, today there is a Huang Yunqiu because of the rebellion, the impact is extremely bad, and today Huang Yunqiu is sentenced to the punishment of heart removal according to the law......" said and raised the pen to the book in front of him, and did not draw down.
Seeing Cui Jue lift the pen, everyone in the City God Temple suddenly knelt down in unison, including the City God Ma Yuzhen, who knelt down and kowtowed and shouted, "Look at Cui Fujun and think twice!" ”
"Think twice!"
"Think twice!"
These people kowtowed three times, and thought three times in a row, I was surprised, when did these people be so kind to help Huang Yunqiu intercede?
Yuan Shouyi whispered to me, "The punishment of heart-picking has been mentioned dozens of times throughout the ages, and only six of them have actually been executed. Because the punishment of heart removal is too cruel and contrary to the harmony of heaven, in order to prevent the person in power from acting recklessly, according to the regulations, when the punishment of heart removal is sentenced, everyone present should kneel on the ground and plead for the prisoner three times, so as to remind the person who sentenced the case to think twice before acting. The vast majority of the dozens of heart-harvesting punishments mentioned were suppressed in this link. ”
I was relieved.
This Cui Jue also really hesitated, as if he was carefully thinking about whether he should be sentenced to this heart-plucking punishment, and after the three pleas were completed, Cui Jue scratched the book in front of him and said, "Execute it immediately!" ”
After Cui Jue pulled it, the person next to him immediately walked in front of Huang Yunqiu with a plate, leaned down and said to Huang Yunqiu, "Do you need my help?" ”
Huang Yunqiu glanced at this person, shook his head and said, "No." Saying that, he reached out and picked up the knife on the plate, the white cloth should be used to plug his mouth, but Huang Yunqiu didn't take the white cloth, only picked up the knife, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly inserted the knife into his chest, and then slashed it hard.
A large hole was immediately made in her chest, and she took out a blood-red heart and placed it on a plate, which was not disembodied, but a heart-shaped mass of gas, burning with flames.
After Huang Yunqiu took it out, he frowned and stood up, and a breath of fresh air immediately floated out of his body, I don't know how painful it was, but Huang Yunqiu really snorted, gritted his teeth and walked towards us.
Her body was so cold that getting close to her was like falling into an infinite ice cellar, cold to the marrow.
Cui Jue also stood up at this time, walked towards the outside of the City God Temple, rode directly on the white horse, glanced at Huang Yunqiu, and said, "I'm sorry." Then he rode north.
The plain white horse travels north for the sake of the end and atonement.
