The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the shadow of the flagpole shrank to barely visible.

At the sound of a cannon, Liu Ying, who served as the supervising officer, dropped the fire sign and said loudly: "Noon has arrived, start the knife and ask for the beheading!" ”

'Knock knock', the sergeant beat the drum, the executioner squirted a sip of liquor into the devil's knife, and then raised the bright butcher's knife in the air.

When Xie Yunzhang's head was roughly pressed on the chopping board by the sergeant, he completely fell into despair.

The glory of the Chenjun Xie clan and the pride of the past few decades in the south of the Yangtze River have all come to naught. Only the fear of death is left without bounds......

At this moment, he understood that in the face of real power, he was also an ant. There is no difference from those grass people who can be pinched to death at will on weekdays.

You say that you have a good life of spending time and drinking, but what are you doing here? What the hell is the picture?

Xie Liting, who is enlightened, how can he be called a remorse at this moment?

"Slash!" The warden shouted.

The executioners all dropped their knives!

"I have one more thing to confess! Lu Zhonghe was killed! On the line of life and death, Xie Yunzhang shouted with all his might.

The ghost head knife brush fell, blood gushed out, and the human head rolled to the ground.

The knife that slashed at him was three inches out and slammed into the chopping board.

Xie Yunzhang's mind was blank, and he fainted in fright.

Because it was necessary to finish killing people before three o'clock in the afternoon, the officers and soldiers cleared the scene without stopping for a moment, and quickly escorted the second platoon of prisoners to the stage.

This group of prisoners has been frightened by the scene of Fang Cai's head rolling...... It's the kind of fart and urine flow in the truest sense of the word.

saw that Xie Yunzhang was able to get away with the knife because he confided a shocking secret at the last moment. The prisoners followed suit, shouting out what they knew their most secret in exchange for a chance to live.

As for whether they can get this opportunity, it all depends on His Royal Highness the King of Jin under the umbrella opposite, which one of his fingers goes, and the butcher's knife on his head will be hollowed out.

And His Royal Highness the King of Jin, in line with the evil taste that has always tormented people, will wait until their heads are pressed on the chopping board before they begin to raise their hands and point.

So before the butcher's knife falls, no one knows whether they will be dead or alive in the next second. Naturally, no one escaped, and the terrifying experience of walking around the ghost door closed.

Even if he was lucky enough to save his head, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot, and he was full of ugliness......

~~

This wonderful live drama stunned the people of Suzhou in the audience.

How many times have they seen killing? Waist slash, Ling Chi ...... There are so many tricks, but how can there be so exciting? Not even a single hair.

In the crowd, a fat monk folded his hands, as if reciting the 'death mantra' to overtake the deceased.

The middle-aged scholar wearing thick glasses on the side clearly heard him whisper: "Too ...... Stimulate...... ......"

"I can see it, Zhu Hongwu doesn't raise idlers." Luo Guanzhong also sighed: "The descendants of the old Zhu family are all talents. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this hand is called accompanying the beheading." Dao Yan was already clear at this time. "He didn't plan to kill those big dogs, he just wanted to ruin their reputation, scare them out, and make them dare not jump again for the rest of their lives."

"Well, I've heard of ......" Luo Guanzhong nodded, he knew that beheading was a very unique punishment. It does not appear in any of the "Criminal Laws", and it does not even move the prisoner in the slightest, but the tortured person will be frightened to the point that it is even more terrible than killing him.

The key to this punishment is to convince the victim that he or she is going to be beheaded. So until he was brought to the execution ground along with the other prisoners, he was convinced that he was going to be beheaded. Naturally, you will go through the mental journey of the condemned prisoner in its entirety.

And in order to achieve a better deterrent or torture effect, it is usually to behead other prisoners first, so that he can see the terrifying scene when other people's heads fall to the ground, and this person is basically frightened.

The executioner will then still raise the butcher's knife and his head will be pressed against the chopping board. It wasn't until the ghost head knife fell heavily and landed next to his neck that the mystery was revealed.

But at this time, ninety percent of the prisoners have been directly frightened and fainted, and when they are sent back to the prison and wake up, they will find that they are not dead......

This punishment can be devastating on the psychology of the prisoner. Most people will realize before the ghost gate closes that they are actually greedy for life and afraid of death, and they no longer have the courage to be a traitor.

Only a very few real warriors who are not afraid of death will remain unmoved and continue to go their own way.

But there is obviously no one who is not afraid of death among those rich and powerful dogs......

"They just don't believe that the court dares to kill them." Dao Yan said lightly: "As long as the King of Jin makes them believe that the court pinching them to death is like pinching an ant to death, it is enough." ”

"His Royal Highness King Jin can really act." Luo Guanzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even I, who know a little bit about it, once thought that they would definitely die." ”

"These big households are involved too much, and the livelihood, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in Suzhou and even Jiangnan depend on them in all aspects. Kill them rashly, the consequences are too serious. It will make Suzhou City, and even Jiangnan fall into depression. Dao Yan sighed:

"That's why the poor monk was anxious to see the two highnesses, just to persuade them to be cautious. It is possible to achieve the same goal without killing people...... I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Jin to see the same thing as the poor monk, which is really happy and disappointing. ”

"What do you think?" Luo Guanzhong smiled, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"The princes of the Ming Dynasty have their own jobs, which is a good thing." Dao Yan quickly adjusted, and resumed his Maitreya Buddha-like smile and said: "The story in this future must be very exciting, and there must be a place for poor monks." ”

"You look forward to it." Luo Guanzhong glanced at the fat monk angrily, but this was exactly what he was worried about just now......

"It's really gone this time." Dao Yan waved his hand at him and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Don't watch the good show in the future?" Luo Guanzhong turned around and asked.

"The big dogs are scared, what else is there to watch?" Dao Yan shook his head, not interested in the one-sided plot.

~~

In the end, more than 200 prisoners, half of them had their heads cut off, and half of them were scared out of their souls......

The prisoners who had recovered their lives were taken back to the barracks, and the people who watched the excitement dispersed one after another.

Under the umbrella of Gao Tailuo, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the scene of rivers of blood flowing on the execution table, and couldn't help but sigh a little out of place.

In the end, most of the people who died were those gangsters, and there were very few big families who were beheaded.

'There is really a distinction between high and low human life. He couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. But then I thought that my life was more precious than most of them, and I was happy again.

Li Heng on the side was also convinced: "Your Highness is really a good means." ”

"Average." His Royal Highness the King of Jin smiled proudly: "They acted for us first, and I am just a good learner." ”

"If it weren't for the eldest brother's order to kill less, I wouldn't have bothered to do these things." The third child snorted lightly again, and said with some unfinished meaning: "Fortunately, the effect is almost the same." ”

"That is, those big dogs estimate that they will not dare to go against the court again in this life." The sixth nodded and smiled.

"Of course," King Jin sneered, "Isn't it good to live?" ”
