Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 138 Guillotine

Yuexi County, Qiongdu City.

Gao Ding, who was imprisoned in the Qiongducheng County Temple Prison, couldn't help but express a strange expression when he looked at the meal in front of him. This meal was much better than the previous few days. It had fish and meat, and it was both delicious and delicious. It must have been made by a very skilled chef.

Gao Ding picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and felt the taste of the fish with his taste buds.

"what."

"wonderful."

"Only the best chefs have such skills."

He sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart. The piece of fish he ate melted in his mouth, and the taste on his tongue was ever-changing. In the past, as a noble son of Qiongdu, it was difficult for him to eat such delicacies, but after he was attacked After being ambushed, shot in the knee with an arrow, captured alive and imprisoned, I never expected to be able to eat such a delicacy.

Gao Ding put down his chopsticks, looked at the food in front of him, then looked at the arrow wound on his knee that had been bandaged by a first-class doctor, and began to think deeply.

As a rebel who rebelled in Yueqi County, he was prepared to face death the moment he was captured alive by Su Su. This was also a common situation. When the Yi people rebelled in the Nanzhong area, they usually died. There will be no good end if the dead are exterminated.

However, when he was captured alive, he was not immediately beheaded at the head of Qiongdu City. His knee was injured by an arrow, but he was treated by a doctor. He did not die from the wound on his knee. The food he was given after being imprisoned was not dolphin. Dog food, and the food is getting better every day.

Therefore, based on the current treatment, Gaoding had some alternative thoughts. He guessed that Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang intended to spare his life.

It should be that Liu Zhang needed to pacify Nanzhong as soon as possible, so he needed him, the son of the Yi King who had a high reputation among the Yi people, to come forward to appease the restless Soyi people in Yueqi County.

As for why Liu Zhang needed to pacify Nanzhong as soon as possible, Gao Ding guessed that it was probably because it was Zhang Lu of Hanzhong. Although Nanzhong was located in a remote area, he had heard about it. Zhang Lu, the master of Tianshi Dao, attacked and killed Liu Zhang sent Pang Le and Li Yi to Hanzhong to change defenses. Liu Zhang probably needed to leave Nanzhong as soon as possible to deal with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Gao Ding felt lucky in his heart, and he thought about how to deal with Liu Zhang's inquiry when Liu Zhang summoned him later.

'Why rebel? 'This is what Liu Zhang may have asked.

His face should be full of tears and remorse. As for his reply, he would blame his father Gao Yuan for his rebellion. It was Gao Yuan who insisted on his own way. He tried to persuade Gao Yuan many times to no avail, so that Gao Yuan took it into his mouth. Disturbed Liu Zhang.

'Are you willing to appease the foreigners on behalf of Liu Zhang? 'This is another question that Liu Zhang might ask if he wanted to surrender.

His answer should be yes, too willing. His heart has always been towards Liu Zhang, but he has no chance to express his feelings. He is willing to work as a cow or a horse for Liu Zhang, serving Liu Zhang for the rest of his life, until he dies.

After thinking about this, Gao Ding's mouth curved into a smile and his eyes were half-squinted. He thought that by replying in this way, he could win Liu Zhang's trust and prevent Liu Zhang from killing him, so that he could survive.

Of course, he did not sincerely submit to Liu Zhang, and he would never forget the revenge of his father's murder. It was just that he was a prisoner and needed to protect himself first before he had the opportunity to avenge his father's murder.This is a curved way of revenge. Although the process is more tortuous, the result is the same, it is to avenge the murder of his father.

Pressing the pause button for thinking, Gao Ding picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat the food in front of him. He should eat and drink. He has enough nutrition. Only when the arrow wound on his knee heals quickly can he have enough energy to plan. .

"Historical Records of Southwest Yi Biography" records: There are countless kings from the north of Yunnan, and Qiongdu is the most powerful.But no matter how powerful the Qiongdu Kingdom was, it was just an ant in front of the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty crushed this ant to death and established Qiongdu County.

But not long after, the Qiongdu County seat collapsed due to an earthquake and turned into a swamp. It was renamed Qiongchi. In the sixth year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Qiongdu barbarians rebelled. Emperor Wu sent Sima Xiangru as an envoy to launch a crusade across the Yong River, killing King Qiongdu died and built a new county seat of Qiongdu next to Qiongchi.

At the moment, a dozen tall instruments stood on the bank of Qiongchi next to Qiongdu City.

Li Hui looked at these weird-shaped instruments and saw that these instruments were supported by two thick logs to form a wooden frame, which was about two feet high. There was a blade that looked like a giant ax above the wooden frame, but this blade was Oblique.

Under the wooden frame, two or three feet above the ground, there is a circular hole. Close to the bottom of this circular hole is a platform, like a wooden bed.

After a while, Li Hui gave up thinking about the use of this equipment. With a puzzled face, he pointed at these equipment and asked Peng Yi beside him: "Peng Jun, what is this?"

"Guillotine." Peng Yi, who knew the inside story, replied. With his arrogant temperament, he did not underestimate Li Hui in front of him and ignored Li Hui's questions.

Because although Li Hui was from Nanzhong, he was a talented scholar. This time Li Hui offered Liu Zhang a strategy of fighting between two tigers, allowing Liu Zhang to easily capture the capital of Qiong.

Peng Yi noticed that Liu Zhang was very fond of Li Hui, and because of Li Hui's meritorious advice, he promoted Li Hui to the Qiongdu magistrate, and promoted Li Hui from a humble county official to a county magistrate. Therefore, he could not Despise Li Hui.

'guillotine. Li Hui lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Based on the superficial meaning of these three words, he simulated the use of this device in his mind. After a while, he showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I see. Pulling up and releasing the giant blade through the pulley on the wooden frame, and using the force of the falling object to decapitate people, can save a lot of manpower."

He continued and asked: "Who made these utensils? They are really ingenious."

"It's Mr. Ming." Peng Wei explained the origin of the guillotine as if he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"According to Ming Gong, the guillotine came from a book he had read about the Qin Kingdom. It was recorded that the Qin Kingdom liked to use the guillotine to execute rebels. There was a man named Louis XVI who was executed by the guillotine... Speaking of which, this person's name is really weird. Louis seems to be a personal name, similar to our names. But I don't know what the number sixteen is used for, and I don't know if there is Louis XIV or Louis XV in front of it. It's just that Although I have doubts, I can't waste Duke Ming's time with such trivial matters. I wonder if Mr. Li knows about it."

"Great Qin? Louis XVI?" Li Hui looked at Peng Yi with doubts on his face. According to his understanding, Qin, known as the country of tigers and wolves, has some criminal laws such as dismemberment, hanging and beheading, but the guillotine It seems that this device has never been used by Da Qin.

As for Louis XVI of Laozi, he had never heard of it. He had read the official records of Taishi, but he had never seen anyone named Louis XVI in Qin.
