Chapter 933: Watching the Punishment
On the brand-new execution table, the first officials to be killed were escorted up, and one by one the jailers put signs on their backs that read their punishments.
And their voices had already been hoarse when they were arrested and put in prison, and at this moment they could only look in horror at the people watching the excitement below, their eyes full of longing for life and fear of death.
A clearing was cleared by the guards in front of the execution table, and the officials who had committed lesser crimes were pulled by ropes to the clearing.
There was even a row of benches for them, and the four of them sat down in groups and looked at the stage under the scolding of the jailer.
Zeng Jian was a master of the Ministry of Industry before he was imprisoned, because he was found out of a hundred taels of silver in a certain project, and the most important thing is that the quality of the project is worrying, and there was an accident not long after it was completed, and several people were injured, but they were all forced down by him, so there was no thunderstorm.
This time, the performance of all officials will be evaluated, not only by looking at the political performance, but also by investigating the authenticity of the political performance.
Unfortunately, this matter was exposed, and he was imprisoned as a matter of course, not only did he fail the political examination, but even his official position was gone, and he became a prisoner.
This morning was supposed to be the day of the execution of the group of high-ranking officials who had taken so much of their lives.
For some reason, after the felons who were to be executed were taken away, they were then brought out by the jailers and brought here.
To tell the truth, when they were brought up, they were almost scared to death, and they thought that the saint was so angry that even they were going to be executed, and everyone was in mourning.
Crying and mourning, his face is already about to be killed.
Who knew that they were only notified when they arrived, and it turned out that they were not brought out to kill them, but to watch the execution.
During the execution, the eyes must be directly looked at the execution table, and you must not dodge, otherwise you will hit the board when you go back.
The mood went from hell to heaven, and the joy of surviving death made all the prisoners breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know why they came to watch the execution, it is the best news that it is not for them to be executed.
Everyone hurriedly and honestly sat down under the execution table under the arrangement of the jailer, and looked at the stage.
Look at it.
This first wave of officials to be executed was the largest of the convicts.
The first decadent old man in line was Han Jirong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who couldn't see his high-spirited appearance in the past, and the whole person seemed to have one breath left.
And the fat man in the second row is none other than Gao Yusong, the left attendant of the military department, who is only one step away from the position of the secretary of the military department.
Now he is kneeling on the ground sweating profusely, his eyes are full of fear, and he looks like a dog!
Behind is Wang Li, the right capital of the Inspectorate, and then Liu Xuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Wensheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who have just been promoted...... Wait, and in the end, which one is none other than his top boss, Hou Yongzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.
It can be said that these people were all big people who stomped their feet casually in the past, and the entire Bianjing City had to tremble.
However, today, they all have only one identity - a prisoner, or a death row prisoner who is about to be executed.
The world is changing, and it's really hard to figure out.
Time passed little by little, and soon the sun overhead finally reached its highest point.
July and August are the hottest days, and everyone is already sweating from the heat.
The arrival of the execution time also made everyone feel greatly relieved, and the emotion was finally about to begin.
Zhang Zheng, who was sitting at the top of the house, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, then took out a black token in the token bucket and said loudly:
"It's noon, can the prisoner have been verified?"
The clerk in charge of the execution confirmation of the prisoner immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the ten prisoners have all been verified and confirmed to be correct!" ”
"Good! Once the body has been verified, then the execution begins!
By the will of God, the criminal law will be executed against a group of criminal officials at the entrance of the vegetable market in Dongshi!
Verdict and decision! Immediate execution! ”
Smack!
The black token was thrown out heavily, the weight of a human head.
The signs behind the ten felons were pulled out by the executioner and thrown aside.
The executioner picked up the wine and took a sip, then sprayed it on the ghost head knife to disinfect it, and then raised the big knife in his hand high.
As if sensing the coming of death, the ten people who had been silent just now finally couldn't hold back at this time.
Or scolding.
"Zhang Zheng! Old man's day, your grandma! ”
"Zhang Zheng, you lackey of the faint king, you wait, you don't have to die!"
"Zhang Zheng, I'm waiting for you below!"
Or break down and beg for mercy.
"Woo woo, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The minister knows that he is wrong! The minister knows that he is wrong! The minister will not dare anymore! Woowoo woo ......"
"Woo woo, Your Majesty was forced! Forced! Your Majesty spares your life! Woowoo woo ......"
Or he was directly frightened into incontinence, and the urine and Yoneda flowed all over the ground in an instant.
The executioner behind him hurriedly stepped back in disgust.
The guards watching from the execution table also immediately came up and restrained him from falling.
The variety of appearances is embarrassing.
But after all, he couldn't escape a knife in the head.
Zhang Zheng couldn't let them go because of their begging for mercy, and he was also not angry because of their scolding, and when he saw that everything was ready, he immediately burst out again:
"Slash!"
The words fell, and the ten ghost-headed broadswords that had been prepared long ago fell straight down!
Poof! Poof! Poof......
The big knife cuts through the flesh and cuts the bones.
Ten balls flew out and landed on the execution table.
After a short silence, ten blood-colored fountains burst out!
Stain the execution table and its surroundings red!
At this moment, a kind of prisoner sitting under the execution table only felt a heat on his face, and the next moment the blood sprayed out splashed all over them.
stared blankly at the living people on the stage who had just been in various expressions, but now they became headless corpses.
The impact of this reality made all the prisoners stunned in place.
Zeng Jian even stretched out his tongue and licked the blood splashed on his face, which was warm and had a little fishy smell.
In the next moment, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Like him, there are no less here.
But the guards who asked them to stare at the table didn't wake them up, and they looked at each other and laughed silently.
On the stage, ten headless corpses and a head were quickly cleaned up, and the next round of ten people were pressed up, and then beheaded according to the process, then the next group, and then the next group.
As if on an assembly line, dozens of human heads were neatly cut off in one afternoon, and the entire execution table was completely soaked with blood.
Even the people who came to watch the execution were frightened and silent.
By the end of the execution, the surroundings were quiet and terrible.
The guards gathered everything and left silently.
And a group of prisoners who were pressed over to watch the execution were also driven back.
Everything ended peacefully, as if it were just an ordinary scene.
But for a person, such a scene is enough for them to remember for a lifetime!
