Under the scorching sun, a group of messengers escorted a group of death row prisoners through the streets of Cangcheng......

This time, the task was to parade the death row prisoners in a parade and then behead them at the entrance of the downtown area at noon.

Killing this group of death row prisoners is the intention of King Ling, killing chickens and respecting monkeys, in order to suppress the uprising, can have a deterrent effect on some Cangcheng people who are about to move.

Wherever the prisoner car passed, passers-by avoided it, and many well-wishers accompanied the onlookers.

In the crowd, there was a bold child, who followed the prisoner cart with an excited face, and as he walked, he pointed to the prisoner cart and counted: "One, two, three, four......"

Seeing this, the adults beside him slapped his hand: "Just look, don't stretch out your fingers." ”

The child looked puzzled and asked, "Why can't you point to it?" ”

The lord frightened him: "The prisoner is full of fierce people, and if you point at him so rudely that he can see it, you will not be afraid that he will recognize your appearance and turn into an evil spirit at night to come to you." ”

When the child heard him say this, he was so frightened that he quickly hid his hands behind him.

With the creaking sound of the wheels, the faces of the death row prisoners on the prisoner car were like ashes, some of them wept bitterly, and some of them were so frightened that they were incontinent in public.

The crowd of onlookers soon discovered that there was a female prisoner on top of the prisoner car.

The woman was forced to stand on top of the cart with cumbersome restraints, and her head stuck outside the cart was so unkempt that it was impossible to see her face.

However, under a closer look, you can still vaguely see that she has a good appearance.

The streets were paved with gravel, and the roads were in poor condition, and the prisoner carts were walking on them, always bumping and bumping, which was a pain for the people in the prisoner carts.

Every time the prisoner car was upside down, Shen Qing felt that something was churning in her stomach, and she wanted to vomit several times, but there was nothing in her stomach to make her vomit, so she could only retch.

She stood on the prisoner cart, which was a wooden frame, and she was stuck in the round mouth above her neck, and her head was out, and after standing for a long time, her lower limbs were weak, but her feet could not be soft, but if she was weak, her neck would suffer.

She hadn't seen the light of day for a long time, and the first time she came out of the prison camp was on the way to beheading.

Before leaving, the jailer brought good wine and food, saying that it was a meal on the road.

She wanted to eat, she didn't want to be a starving ghost, but these days in prison, she couldn't eat, and her stomach, which was not very good, became worse, and she vomited it all without eating two bites.

There was a commotion in her ears, she opened her eyes leisurely, and looked condescendingly at the row of well-dressed escort messengers walking beside the prisoner car, and then the people who watched the excitement not far away.

She knew that these people were looking at her, and there was curiosity, sympathy, and indifference in their eyes. Looking back, she saw her hands shackled by heavy shackles, which were skinny and bony from extreme malnutrition, and their nails had become long and black from being repaired for a long time, and they were even more filthy and dirty.

It turned out to be a pair of slender and good-looking jade hands, but at this moment, there were a few copies that looked like old people's hands.

During her time in prison, she had been tossed to the point that she was no longer human.

She stood on the prisoner cart blankly, her body swaying with the shaking of the prisoner cart due to the weakness of her feet and legs......

Shen Qing knew that there was not much time left for him.

She felt tired and dazed, a state she has been in lately, usually closing her eyes to keep herself from waking up.

However, at this moment, she forced herself not to faint, because there was really not much time left for herself.

She struggled to keep her eyes open, wanting to see the world one last time.

After a long road to the streets, more and more people gathered below, and the sun became more and more scorching, Shen Qing knew that it was not far from the entrance of the vegetable market.

Soon, the prisoner car was escorted to the execution ground.

The messengers opened the door of the cart and urged her to get out of it.

However, the long standing had made her legs unresponsive, and the man, who thought she was slow, reached out and dragged her violently from the prisoner cart.

She staggered on the flat ground, and almost fell forward, but the messenger beside her quickly grabbed the iron lock around her neck, which stabilized her, but also made her almost suffocate to death.

Shen Qing coughed violently a few times, and with this coughing sound, a heavy flail was put around her neck.

The wooden flail was so rough that the barbs of the wood pierced her tender skin mercilessly as soon as one looked down, forcing her to tilt her head back with difficulty.

Soon, nearly 10 people were pulled out of the prison cart like cattle.

Shen Qing stood there, feeling her mouth dry, and she couldn't care about swallowing her saliva. With a nervous expression, he turned his head to look at the group of prisoners, trying to find a familiar face among the death row inmates.

However, all the way to identify it, there was nothing.

There was only one person who was paralyzed on the ground and kept hanging his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but this person was short, and Shen Qing ruled it out at once.

Brother Mu is not here, or someone will escape from prison; Otherwise, they would have been killed, but the cells were so sturdy that it was almost impossible for them to escape.

In this case, it is the latter.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Soon, a group of people were escorted to the execution ground, kneeling side by side on the execution platform, and behind each stood an executioner.

The executioners carried broadswords on their shoulders with awe-inspiring expressions.

In the face of death, many prisoners were already on the verge of emotional collapse, some were so frightened that their limbs were weak, they were paralyzed on the ground, and even worse, they were already frightened.

Within a pillar of incense, three death row inmates had fainted in fright, and soon they were woken up by a basin of water.

Shen Qing knelt there, looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, and for a while, his heart was very dazed.

The hour has come, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

She didn't know what she was doing when she came to this dynasty.

She saw the big knives on the shoulders of the executioners, the blades were sharpened, but she knew that no matter how sharp the knife was, it would definitely taste bad if it fell on the neck.

At the moment of life and death, she miraculously found that she did not have too much fear in the face of death, and even whimsically remembered it when she looked at the big knife......

A French biologist named Lavoisier tested it himself, and came to the conclusion that when a human head is in a different place, the head retains consciousness for a few seconds.

This time, I can try it myself.

The heavy wooden shackles around her neck weighed her breathless, and she knelt on her knees, and with the vague thoughts in her mind, she finally couldn't bear the weight and fainted.

The official in charge of the execution thought that she was stunned, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Why did you faint again, the hour is almost coming, hurry up, take water and water to wake her up." ”
