23. New Beginnings (13)
For the important and innovative significance brought by the guillotine to the history of civilization and the development of torture instruments, the big men in the cage could not understand it at all, let alone the gentleman and the impartial expression of heartfelt admiration for this sharp weapon of modern civilization.
They did not despair because they were about to be put to death. On the contrary, great anger and humiliation continued to rise as the guillotine was erected and the ancillary facilities were put in place.
As a well-known enterprise in all walks of life, V.E has always been committed to meeting customer needs, they not only have the most complete after-sales service known, but also the supporting equipment of the products is also the best.
The first bucket for the head, the cheap standardized assembly coffin, the oil, the pyre, and the small wooden box containing the ashes were all prepared for the custom of burial in other places. From this point, you can fully see how efficient and attentive V.E company is.
The Marquis Charles Diordonnay de Lorrainta and the Marquis Jean Paul Schramm de Reims trembled with anger when they saw the prisoner shaking hands with the merchants of the V.E Company, pointing to the torture instruments and the coffin. They could never have imagined that the vicious Siegfried Otto Lilin would dare to humiliate them in such a way [from life to death, service to home].
They had lost their domains, titles, possessions, and personal armaments, and had been inhibited from Mana's senses in the prison carts and execution grounds where they had set up barriers, and they could not even use magic. In the end, they can't even decide the way they die, the funeral after death, and even the corpse must be controlled and accommodated by the sworn enemy V.E company.
At the thought of this, the two former Electors regretted why they had not followed the example of another Elector, the Marquis Jacob Leroy de Picardy, who had defended his dignity as a nobleman by hanging himself with his socks on the railing of his cell window. The two electors struggled and scolded despite the fact that they were tied up with five flowers, and several soldiers held down the former marquis.
What a bunch of idiots.
Georges Dieri, who had been promoted to the position of managing director of the public relations department of the V.E consortium in Lüders, muttered contemptuously in his heart, his finger running over his sparse head with a beautiful gold ring set with diamonds and rubies. The prison officer on the side shrugged at him with a wry smile, and it seemed that everyone was thinking the same thing.
A group of stupid people who don't know the so-called are not even qualified to act as opponents for His Excellency Li Lin. has been stripped of all its territory. The power class in the northern cities is all controlled by the personnel or related people of the V.E company, and the large and small chambers of commerce are all swallowed up by the V.E company without exception, and these idiots still can't figure out why they lost, which is really a hopeless pitiful worm.
[To be an enemy of that adult is to die......]
I've done that before. Luckily, after being forgiven, Dieri, who joined Li Lin's command, made a heartfelt comment. This once declining aristocracy, a third-rate killer, now has money. The aristocrats always greeted him with a smile when they saw this executive who could directly contact the president of V.E, and even the top of his head, which was once as reflective as a glass mirror, miraculously grew sparse hair after trying the hair growth agent [Zhang Guang 101] developed by Li Lin.
To this day, Dieri can still see with his own eyes how the once high-ranking and only admired big man was slaughtered like a dog, and he is very satisfied with this, and he is more and more glad for the decision to serve under Li Lin in the first place.
The only fly in the ointment was that both Thad and he believed that it was not enough for this guy to dare to stand up to the bastard of the great Lord Li Lin, just by beheading. They should be executed in the most cruel and horrific ways, just like the bosses of those trading houses.
At the behest of the Electors, the merchants who tried to use the [forged grain for huàn coupons] bought from the black market to run on the V.E Company in order to make a last-ditch effort were defeated. When the fake tickets in their hands have been hyped to more than 10 times the actual value of the real tickets, they are ready to get rid of them and make huge profits. The Royal Government, which could not tolerate any further unrest in society, received anonymous reports from good citizens. Catch the dealers who trade in counterfeit tickets and printing equipment. After some torture by ghosts and wolves, the army was quickly dispatched to arrest the masterminds behind the scenes, the three candidates for the king. The whole process was dizzyingly fast, and it was almost doubtful that this was not Charlemagne's army, which was used to being late.
The businessmen were sentenced to death on charges of treason, speculation, fraud, and endangering national security, and V.E., which had received all their belongings, arranged the death sentences and funerals of four of them.
Since the status of the merchants was not comparable to that of the noble electors, they did not enjoy the privilege of guillotining under the gaze of the tens of thousands of citizens of the royal capital of Lydes. All the prisoners were stripped of their shirts and stripped of their belts. With pants in their hands, they were rushed to the gallows, which was specially prepared for them. The hooks of the four butchers are placed on wooden beams, and underneath them are twisted rings made of the strings of the piano, a new instrument of Alfheim. When the long struggle was over, the prisoner's pants all fell off, and the naked corpse swayed, looking like a pig hanging from a slaughter. The employees of V.E., who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to clean up the aftermath, and the family members who were going to secretly collect the corpses in the evening received the urns that were still hot in the afternoon.
The other two absconding merchants, Jacques Lumière, owner of the carriage and carriage company, and Alain Wintel, president of the Textile Guild, did not escape, and Stasi, who had been keeping an eye on them, sent out an operation force to arrest them before the Kingdom army and executed them in Agen Tuolaton. Monsieur Lumière was thrown into a pit full of poisonous snakes at the bottom, and Monsieur Wintel was tied naked to a bronze pillar, in which a charcoal fire began to be lit until the bronze pillar was red, and Monsieur Wentel went to report to the Mother Goddess......
Compared to their business agents, the way in which the two electors passed away was a simple and pleasant one.
Time was ticking by, and the citizens who were hungry for blood to drive away boredom, provide entertainment, and vent their panic and displeasure that had been entrenched in their hearts saw the pale-faced Marquis de Reims being dragged out of his cage by the soldiers, and the weak former prince erupted with unimaginable force, and the two strong soldiers could barely catch him. Finally, with the help of four soldiers, the Marquis de Reims's struggling body was put on the guillotine, and after the wooden plank with the prototype notch was closed, the chilling grunt began to sound, and as the executioner began to shake the crank on the outside of the wooden post, the heavy trapezoidal blade gradually rose up, and with a click, reached the highest point.
The priest's prayer was just over at this moment, and the moment the crowd exploded into a frenzied roar, the white light fell vertically.
Boom - the heavy sound even drowned out the cheers of the crowd. (To be continued.) )
PS: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: The winners of the last quiz were [Fuyun Yashi], [Lieutenant Colonel Yang Xiao Technology], [Maple Leaf Forest], and [Little Night God], congratulations!
Nidhogg: Today's question 1.The earliest guillotine was an axe-like arc, who changed the blade to a diagonal trapezoid? 2. This person is a bit like the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, a genius locksmith. Question 2: A pit filled with poisonous snakes and a burnt red bronze pillar - what are the prototypes of these two methods of execution?
