Chapter 18 Purifying the Cleansing of the Stick
In ancient times, there was a criminal law, which was passed to the Ming Dynasty, and the criminal law recorded in the Ministry of Officials was about 1,300 items. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At every glance, almost at least ten kinds of side branches can be derived, which also shows the cruelty of the Ming Dynasty's official rule. It also made the Ming Dynasty not very good in the evaluation of later generations.
Many of these criminal laws are very cruel, however, there is reason to believe that one thing is that what is contained in several of the most famous criminal codes of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not cruel that can be described. One of them included a human stick.
The punishment of the human stick is very simple, and there are only two kinds of punishment - the clean stick and the dirty stick. That's what the punishment of the stick is all about. There is only one small difference in the specific method, both of which are to cut off the hands and feet of the tortured, blind the eyes, and cut off the tongue, so that the tortured person can not speak, have eyes, and cannot move to stay quietly in the container containing them, and be subjected to all kinds of abuse and verbal harm by the torturer.
However, the filthy stick is much luckier than the clean man. Because they are placed in containers, no one will remove their excrement, and the torturers will soon lose interest in them because of the stench, so that they will finally be able to be freed from starvation or will be tortured to death because of the disease caused by the filthy environment.
The purifying stick does not have the same treatment as the defilement stick. Their containers have holes for them to excrete, and they are regularly wiped clean from their bodies, and even if they are on a hunger strike, someone will forcibly pry open their teeth and pour food into their stomachs. Therefore, what awaits them is endless darkness and powerlessness. They cannot see the light - because they are blind. They can't move because their hands and feet have been cut off. They cannot speak - because their tongues have been cut off.
They are at the mercy of their torturers. Waiting in silence in the darkness for the torturer to one day show mercy out of joy or anger - finally to die.
The result of the purifier is that no purifier can maintain a normal person's mind and spirit for half a year after becoming a purifier. The boundless darkness and unspeakable helplessness and the mental devastation of the torturer can make any pure man say the words without hesitation in his thoughts: "Please, kill me!" However, they could not speak, so it was impossible for them to express even their desire to die. Unless someone asks one day, "If you want to die, just nod or shake your head." ”
This is the sorrow of the stick.
Although there are not many cases of human sticks recorded in history, there are not many cases in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it reached a small climax during the Wei Zhongxian period. This insidious and natural eunuch who plays with power seems to have this very special preference for such a criminal law because of his own defects.
- "The Rule of the Ming Dynasty"
In this way, Han Fu became a pure man.
After the limbs are cut off, the wound is coagulated with a red-hot soldering iron and then wrapped in good wound medicine. In order not to destroy his face, therefore, the eyes were not gouged out, but poisoned and blinded with potion. As for the tongue, Wei Zhongxian suddenly showed an interest in the difference between human tongues and snake tongues, causing his tongue to be cut into "snake letters", which directly led to the same inability to speak.
This made Lord Wei very depressed. However, then he summoned the pure-man stick, which had just been made.
"How?" Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.
Although Han Fu couldn't speak, the muscles on his face obviously began to twist.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Wei Zhongxian laughed strangely: "What a cute child." ”
While speaking, he also reached out to touch Han Fu's face, but was almost bitten by Han Fu on his hand.
"I don't know what to lift." Wei Zhongxian was not annoyed, poked Han Fu's forehead and said, "Father-in-law, I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you now, I already knew that your nine major sects were interested in joining forces to do the right thing with my father-in-law." I also know that you plan to send someone to assassinate Hongu, and I even know where your next meeting will be. Isn't it just that when Tianyan Palace holds Tianyan Day, they quietly meet in Yongzhou City? Hehehehe, I really want to know, if these people were at the rally, suddenly twenty red-clothed cannons bombarded them, would these people all die? ”
Hearing this, Han Fu was already in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that this eunuch would have a traitor in this group of righteous people a long time ago. But he became like this, and he couldn't go back to report the news, he was shocked and frightened in his heart, one was careless, his mood was too extreme, and he was affected by new injuries, and he couldn't help but rush to his throat with blood, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Hahaha......" Wei Zhongxian seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he made, laughed and walked out of the door, coming to the door, he still remembered to tell a few little eunuchs, don't let this pure man stick die, otherwise... The cold eyes made the little eunuchs present shudder.
