Jinyi Night Walk

On Sanshan Street, several children are playing, and there are some vendors on both sides of the road.Due to the hot weather, some stalls were set up there, and the hawkers took refuge in the shade. When they saw a customer looking at the goods, they hurried over to greet them warmly.Those who stayed in front of the booth were also wearing straw hats, looking lazy and laid-back.

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats was like rain, and dozens of horses galloped along the long street. The warriors on the horses were all dressed in red war robes, sun hats with wide brims, and swords around their waists, full of murderous looks.

The children rushed to the side of the road, and an old man heard the sound and ran out the door, just in time to catch the little grandson.The old man hugged his precious grandson in his arms, and looked at the warriors in red war robes in amazement. They rode their horses and galloped towards the city gate.

The old man looked at their backs, blinked his eyes, and finally remembered this familiar attire, and his face suddenly changed: "Tiqi? The emperor has rebuilt the Tiqi!"

Sanshan Street, riding fiercely, flew over suddenly, like a falcon.

Jinyi Tiqi has come out of the rivers and lakes again.

The first thing they did when they came out of the rivers and lakes was to go to Jingqing's hometown - Zhaizi Village, Mingxinzhuangli, Zhenning County (now Zhengning, Gansu Province), Chengxuan Government Envoy, Shaanxi Province.Commander Master Ji passed on the emperor's oral order, and the order given to them was: "Lizhaizi Village, don't leave chickens or dogs behind!"

Ji Gang held the driving sticker issued by the supervisor of ceremonies and stamped with a seal, rushed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and went straight to the office of the Criminal Division. The Criminal Division met the emperor's decree and did not dare to neglect it. The driver's sticker is stamped with a "signature".

Every time Jin Yiwei handles an imperial mission, he needs to hold a driving sticker, and the driving sticker must be stamped by the Ministry of Punishment to be legally valid. Before the middle of Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful Jin Yiwei was, he dared not violate this rule .

After the "signature", Jin Yiwei has mastered the power of life and death, and the cases handled do not need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple.Ji Gang immediately rushed back to the yamen and issued orders, and teams of Jinyiwei who had just been formed rushed onto the street one after another.

Jing Qing's home was ransacked, and all the family members were taken away. Without going through the complicated procedures of reviewing the emperor's approval by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they were immediately kidnapped and beheaded at Caishikou. mold.

Caishikou is just a common name. The specific location is different in each dynasty. Generally, it is a convenient place to execute criminals that is close to the Ministry of Punishment. It also has to be a bustling and busy city.

When a family of young and old were beheaded, Jing Qing had already been taken to Jinyiwei Prison and tied to the blood-stained iron bed. An execution master who had been unemployed for nearly ten years was invited back by Jinyiwei.

He put down the small box, looked at Jing Qing, who was naked and tied to the bed, with no expression on his face, and tested the looseness of his skin like watching an animal, then opened the box unhurriedly, and took out a sharp knife He picked up the small knife, and said calmly to Jing: "Master Jing, the villain is sending the master on the road today. The craftsmanship has been neglected for more than ten years. What's wrong with the bone, please bear with me!"

Then he turned to the Jinyi guards beside him and asked, "Fell alive or dead?"

This, the emperor did not give orders, and all the Jinyi guards are also newcomers. More than ten years ago, they were still dolls wearing crotch pants. It was the first time I saw the skinning punishment that I often heard about back then. I couldn’t answer it for a while, and a small flag stared Said: "This daring traitor assassinated the king and killed him. He committed a heinous crime. Naturally, he was skinned alive!"

The executioner smiled and stepped forward.Jing Qing was tied to the iron bed on her stomach, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, her eyes were wide open, but she couldn't say a word.The executioner walked up behind him, and raised his sharp knife...

Zhu Di's punishment for Jing Qing was to peel the skin and pull the weeds, and hang them in Chang'an Gate for public display!

In ancient and modern China and abroad, all countries have skinning methods, such as Rome, Persia, Germany, as well as Tibetans, Indians... China has had the punishment of skinning since before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but pulling the grass after skinning was the exclusive invention of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, many corrupt officials were punished by skinning. When a new official took office, if there was a predecessor in the Yamen who was executed for corruption, there would be a separate room where the human skin of the previous official who had been scoured was placed. Go bye bye, as a warning.Not to mention, the number of upright officials in the 30 years of the Hongwu Dynasty accounted for more than half of the number of upright officials in the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty.

The other dynasties are not that there are fewer corrupt officials than the Hongwu Dynasty, but that the arrests are not as severe as the Hongwu Dynasty, so it seems that there are endless corrupt officials in the Hongwu Dynasty.Of course, not all those who were punished for skinning were because of corruption and bribery. There are also many officials who have been defeated in political struggles.

Skinning can be divided into live skinning and death skinning. General Sapphire received the punishment of skinning. Thinking of the past wars, he was given death skinning at that time, that is, he was executed first and then skinned.To be stripped alive is horrific.Since the last years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang has reduced his punishment, but today, because of Jingqing's assassination in the Golden Palace, the executioner took up the skinning knife again.

He picked up the knife, and quickly slashed across Jing Qing's spine with the tip of the knife. The skin on Jing Qing's back was cut in half, and blood gushed out quickly. Still trembling violently, an inhuman neighing came from his throat.

The skinning master is not surprised, the knife in his hand is moving quickly, a piece of bloody human skin is slowly separated from the human body like a butterfly spreading its wings, and the blood is dripping on the ground...

When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting away!

Zhu Di has never been afraid of killing people. As the saying goes, the son of a rich man can't sit still. Zhu Di, as a vassal king, likes to fight against others with his own hands.He is warlike in his bones, and he is not afraid of any provocation.To kill is to conquer, and not to kill is also to conquer. He attaches equal importance to benevolence and power, and when he needs to kill, he will not even blink his eyelids.

Sitting in the palace, Chen Ying knelt down in front of Zhu Di like a cowering mouse, with all four bodies thrown to the ground, bearing Zhu Di's thunderous anger: "How do you all procuratorate do things? Since you took office, you haven't arrested anyone. A traitor has not impeached a guilty official! Go back and investigate for me, and I will arrest all those who have secret parties, slander the court, and have collusion with rebellion!"

Chen Ying said in disbelief: "Yes, yes, I obey the order, and I will do it right away!"

"Get out!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Chen Ying crawled backwards to the entrance of the hall, kowtowed again, got up and ran out quickly.

As soon as he left Jinshen Hall, the panic and fear on Chen Ying's face disappeared, and a flash of pride and ecstasy flashed in those angular eyes, and he rushed out in a hurry...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Jing Qing's grass-scratched human skin fluttered in the wind on Chang'an Gate, and it was the first time since Zhu Di entered the city that there was a bloody storm in the capital.

Before the bloodstains of the Jing family's family at Caishikou were dry, Chen Ying, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Police Department, went all out to impeach Jianwen's ex-officials with the fastest efficiency.

Chen Ying's impeachment, Ji Gang's arrest, and the close cooperation between the two made the civil and military officials panic and everyone was in danger.Before Zhu Di entered the city, he announced that there were 29 "prostitutes". Some of them had committed suicide, some had pleaded guilty and were released. Only 14 of them are still in prison.

After Chen Ying's rigorous investigation day and night, he concocted a larger list of rapes, and this list included 53 rapes.Although these people will not all be killed, they will not escape a criminal prisoner.

For a while, Chen Ying and Ji Gang were well-known in the capital and all officials looked at each other, and they were quite famous for stopping crying children.

A sedan chair stopped in a courtyard in the alley on the left inside Sanshanmen, the curtain was lifted, and a beautiful girl walked out.

Ming'er has already moved to the mansion of his nephew Ding Guogong Xu Jingchang. Today, he brought gifts to visit the Wang Consort and his wife. He accidentally heard that the Wang Concubine lent a house of his own to the Fu Guogong yesterday. Yang Xu now has a It's fine if he doesn't know where he lives, but once he knew where he was, Ming'er became a little restless.

On the way back, she boredly visited several very high-grade jewelry workshops and rouge shops that often received envoys and famous ladies. the coachman.She had thought of it on a whim, but once she arrived at Xia Xun's door, she suddenly felt a little timid: "What can I say when I see him?"

Unexpectedly, Ming'er raised the sedan chair curtain and came out, but saw a lot of people kneeling in front of the courtyard door, Ming'er was startled, and asked suspiciously: "Who are these people?"

The family of the entourage hurried forward to inquire, and came back to report: "Princess, these people are the family members of Duan Mi, the imperial envoy. Because they were listed as prostitutes by Chen Ying, Jin Yiwei took their master into prison. I don't know them Where did I hear that Fu Guogong is highly regarded by the emperor and has a close relationship with Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, so I beg to come to the door."

"Oh?"

The little girl faintly felt that something was wrong, she frowned her delicate eyebrows, thought about it seriously, Qu Ran raised her head, and said to the general: "Go and knock on the door, and say that the princess is asking to see Duke Fu."

The general said: "Princess, Duke Fu is not at home. These people are kneeling here, just waiting for Duke Fu to come back. The villain just called the door. There are only two disciples sent by the king's son-in-law to serve Duke Fu." , two girls."

A shrewd look flashed across Ming'er's sly eyes, and she immediately ordered: "Bring these people away!"

The leader of the family was stunned, and said in astonishment: "Princess, they... are waiting for the Duke of Fu. Let's go over and over again, it seems..."

Ming'er stared at her beautifully, and the leader of the family hastily changed his words: "Yes, yes, the villain obeys his orders!"

"and many more!"

Ming'er thought about it again, and said slowly: "Xu Sheng, you take a few people to stay, and after you drive them away, stay with Duke Fu for the time being. , no matter who comes to the door and asks to see you again, they will all be sent away, don't show mercy!"
