Moreover, most of these executioners still have extra money to earn. Of course, they would not release criminals on purpose, but some criminals were sentenced to death. Executioner, ask them to sharpen their knives, and cut off the criminal's head with one knife, so that the criminal will suffer less crime. If no one honors them, they will use blunt knives to kill people. One knife often does not kill the criminal, but only cuts half of it. neck, it is common for people to commit more living crimes, and only after a few more knives can they die.

Naturally, there are full-time executioners in Daye County. Unfortunately, these two executioners are Gao Huaiyuan's subordinates. Before execution, these two executioners came to ask Gao Huaiyuan what to do according to Gao Huaiyuan's opinion on how to deal with these criminals. .

Because these people committed serious crimes and were not good people, and their whole family was confiscated, naturally no one came to pay respect to the executioner, so how to kill them depends on Gao Huaiyuan's intention.

After Gao Huaiyuan figured this out, he was a little bit dumbfounded, killing people is killing people, and he said so much that he really didn't know how to answer.

After thinking for a while, Gao Huaiyuan finally replied: "As for the women who are going to be killed, I don't think you need to make things difficult for them, just give them a knife and kill them, and the rest of the men, what should you do?" What to do, what to do! After all, they deserve to die, so it is not worth pity!"

Only then did the method of death for the few people be determined. After the sound of the urging drum sounded at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two executioners went to the execution platform and beheaded the criminal women first. Looking from a distance, Gao Huaiyuan saw that the women had already been frightened. Fucking shit, crying in a mess, two people seemed to have been frightened and fell silent, and two women wailed again and again, begging for mercy.

An executioner pushed a criminal woman to the front of the scaffold, kicked her in the crook of her leg, and made her kneel on the scaffold, facing the crowd below.

An officer came forward and announced the criminal woman's crimes, and after verifying her integrity, she took the sign stuck on the back of her neck and handed it to Liu Zhixian. Liu Zhixian ticked off the sign with a red pen. After her name, pick up a command arrow and throw it down.

At this time, an executioner received the order, stepped forward to break up the criminal woman's bun, and stretched out his hand to hold her head. The other executioner was in charge of execution. He took a sip of wine first, and vigorously sprayed the wine on the ghost. On the head knife, and then raised the sharp ghost head knife in his hand high.

At the moment when the rapid drumbeat of the death drum stopped, the executioner suddenly swung the ghost-headed sword down, and saw a flash of cold light, and a bloody arrow shot out immediately. The executioner who was in charge of pulling the head swiftly Turning around, dodging the bloody arrow, he threw the criminal woman's head into the basin on the execution platform, without any blood on her body, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help admiring her swift movements.

The crying of the criminal woman also stopped abruptly, and the headless corpse immediately fell on the execution platform, the blood from the neck spurted out far away, and the hands and feet were still trembling. After a while, it was considered quiet down.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help closing his eyes. Although he didn't blink his eyelids when he killed the enemy in front of the battle, he still felt a little uncomfortable watching him kill in this way. He shouted, as if he was praising the executioner's methods.

Executioners are skilled when beheading, and they are very particular about how many cervical vertebrae they cut. Otherwise, the knife is likely to get stuck or a gap will break out. Afterwards, the criminal woman's head was finally chopped off, and the executioner seemed very satisfied. He stood on the execution platform with a knife and walked back and forth, feeling a little complacent.

Gao Huaiyuan felt uncomfortable. No matter how you look at this scene, it looks like a performance. Killing people has become an art. The executioner treats it as a performance, and the observers treat it like watching a play!He really didn't know how to describe this kind of thing!

After a short time, the criminals were finally killed one by one, leaving behind a few headless corpses, whose heads were hung up by the executioner for public display, and then it was the turn to send those desperadoes on their way. This time one of the few guys The ferocity of the past has long since disappeared, watching the woman being killed, now she is crying like a woman, even her trousers are wetted a lot, and the running water runs down the bottom of her feet.

Only the murderer surnamed Cao was still yelling and cursing. For a while, he yelled at Zhang Cheng for harming them and others, and for a while he yelled at Gao Huaiyuan, calling Gao Huaiyuan a dog official. When the knife was used to dismember the corpse, this guy also showed a look of fear.

But this fellow is also considered vicious, after spitting out bloody spit, he once again yelled at Gao Huaiyuan, cursed Gao Huaiyuan's family all over, and even said that he would never let Gao Huaiyuan off even if he was a ghost.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan happened to be ordered to verify the integrity of these people, and when he walked to the execution platform, the people onlookers applauded and thanked Gao Huaiyuan one after another, thanking Gao Huaiyuan for eliminating harm for the people.

Standing on the execution platform, Gao Huaiyuan bowed his hands to the crowd below, clasped his fists and said: "Since Gao is in charge of this position, he should do something practical for the neighbors. Please don't thank me for anything. I hope all the elders and elders will see this thief." After the end, you can take it as a warning and don't break any king's law!"

Then Gao Huaiyuan read out the crimes of these thieves, inspected the integrity of these thieves, and went through the process. They all look scary like ghosts, but the rules are like this, so he still went through the cutscene.

When he came in front of this guy surnamed Cao, the murderer surnamed Cao's eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled at Gao Huaiyuan again. He snorted coldly and said, "You won't spare me even if you become a ghost? I'm afraid you won't have this chance! If you become a ghost, think about the people you killed, their ghosts may have been waiting for you to go down, Yan The lord will naturally take care of wicked people like you, and all the punishments in the underworld are still waiting for you to enjoy! I think you deserve to die if you are so unrepentant at the end of your life!"

The executioner approached Gao Huaiyuan in a fawning manner and said, "Master County Captain, this guy is fierce and tight. I'll have a younger one to serve him later, so it's easier to send him away! Hmph! The younger one specially gave him a knife. This tongue is so damn tight!"

Gao Huaiyuan nodded, he naturally heard the meaning of the executioner, in order to please himself, when the executioner cut the knife, this guy will feel better, I'm afraid this guy's tongue will get another knife.

After listening to the executioner's words, the man surnamed Cao couldn't help but change his face. The torture was already enough to suffer, but he pretended to be a hero just now, and now he finds himself guilty again!

After Liu Zhixian gave an order, the executioner began to execute the execution, starting with the other three people first, and the corpse knife in his hand moved like the wind, and soon used up 24 knives, and cut two of them on the spot, and it was over The reason why these two guys died more easily in their lives is because they said some good things before they died, which showed that they would never do such evil things again in the next life, only when they attacked Zhang Cheng, Slow down, this guy murdered women, and his crimes were even more serious, so the executioner deliberately made this guy suffer for a while because of the wishes of the people, and he paid 24 knives. After breaking his limbs, he dug out His liver and gall, finally cut off his head with a knife, and ended this fellow.

Even Gao Huaiyuan, who was used to seeing various ways of death on the battlefield, felt sick to his stomach after watching this kind of torture, not to mention the onlookers, who were very interested in watching the beheading at the beginning. When attacking Ling Chi, some people fainted from fright on the spot, and some even vomited up their morning meal. No matter what, it really played a deterrent effect.

However, different from Gao Huaiyuan’s imagination, there is still an essential difference between the punishment of the Song Dynasty and the Lingchi of the Ming Dynasty. The number of punishment knives in the Song Dynasty was very small, only 24 knives, which is not like the later Ming Dynasty. Prisoners were chopped into hundreds of thousands of knives, and specifically speaking, it should be a kind of dismemberment punishment, and the execution time is relatively short. It is far less cruel than the Ling Chi punishment of later generations. It's too long for people's nerves to bear.

After seeing his accomplices being killed one by one, the man surnamed Cao finally couldn't swear, all the muscles in his body trembled uncontrollably, his whole face was so frightened that there was no color in it, and he couldn't do it anymore. Losing energy to pretend to be a hero, this is exactly the purpose of the executioner, what he wants is to make this guy have a mental breakdown and suffer a little more mental torture. Now it seems that he has obviously achieved his goal.

It wasn't until the executioner came to him that this fellow realized that he was suffering at last. This fellow wailed and began to give in, begging the executioner to give him a happy death and end his life as soon as possible.

But the executioner said beforehand that if he wants to make this guy suffer more, he will never regret it. If he does that, Gao Huaiyuan is afraid that Gao Huaiyuan will be unhappy and take away his job, so he doesn't respond to this guy's begging for mercy. One executioner still laughed He took out a plate, and saw that there was still white salt foam on the plate, and the surname Cao immediately understood what the executioner was going to do with him.

So the frightened guy surnamed Cao, as if he had been injected with a stimulant, began to struggle on the pillar that bound him, and began to curse again, first Gao Huaiyuan, then the executioner, in short He scolded everyone he could think of, and after such a scolding, the onlookers below really applauded him. I really don't know what these applauding people are thinking, but they would applaud such a desperado!

The executioner stepped forward and grabbed the man's jaw, squeezed it hard, and squeezed the man's mouth open, so that he could no longer swear, then took out a small hook from his bosom, and stuck it into the man's mouth. Hooked the guy's tongue, pulled out his mouth forcefully, released his jaw with the other hand, took a hook-shaped knife from an executioner next to him, and put it on the guy's tongue to draw a picture. Passed by, and then a human tongue remained in his hand, and it was thrown down dripping with blood. Someone immediately snatched it up and put it away. It is said that this thing can be used as medicine, and it can be used to treat boils. People who watched it were horrified .

And after the tongue of Cao was cut off, his mouth was full of blood, and he could no longer swear. He was bouncing on the pillar like a tangled fish, and then it was time for the executioner to perform again. After one cut, he had to stop for a while to make this guy suffer more pain, and then another person sprinkled some salt particles in his wound, making this guy jump up and down in pain.

This kind of execution lasted for a stick of incense, and the executioner finally killed this guy with a knife, and Gao Huaiyuan looked at Guo Liang next to him. He didn't know where this guy went to vomit. Even Guo Liang, who is used to seeing dead people on the battlefield, can't bear this, so it can be seen that this kind of death is really scary!

Gao Huaiyuan suppressed his nausea, and went to the stage for another autopsy. This was considered to be the end of the execution, and the crowd dispersed immediately, leaving only a pile of fragmentary corpses of the dead.

After killing people in the general execution ground, the prisoners have their family members to collect their corpses, but because these guys have done too much evil, even if they have relatives, no one dares to collect their corpses for them. The violent corpses in the wilderness finally gave the wild dogs a feast. It is said that such people will not be reincarnated after death, and they have found a tragic destination for their sinful cry.

After Gao Huaiyuan solved the case, his reputation in Daye County immediately became famous. The country gentry who didn't think highly of him before didn't dare to underestimate him. climbing.

Gao Huaiyuan was very impatient with dealing with this group of people, and planned to push him down, but was stopped by Ji Xiancheng.

"Master, don't underestimate these country gentry and wealthy households. They are powerful people. If you want to hold the position of Daye County Captain for a long time, you can't offend these people. After all, they have little influence in the village. Little, the young master plans to implement rural joint insurance in the county soon, and train the bravery of the villagers. Without the support of these people, there must be a lot of resistance. It is best for the young master to get acquainted with these people and deal with them!" Ji Xiancheng knew. Gao Huaiyuan didn't like this kind of entertainment, but he still advised him.

Gao Huaiyuan also thought about the same thing. After he took office, he discussed with Ji Xiancheng that he wanted to implement rural joint insurance in Daye County, select township farmers for leisure training, strengthen the health of the people, and gradually make the people's customs of Daye County better. Be tougher, and by the way, also promote bow and arrow clubs in various townships and villages, accumulate courage, and deal with emergencies at any time, and Ji Xiancheng also agrees with his idea and supports him to do so. Now after listening to Ji Xiancheng's words, Gao Huaiyuan He dispelled the idea of ​​refusing those gentry's banquets. If he wants to implement this kind of thing, he must first obtain the support of these powerful people in the village. Otherwise, starting with ordinary people will inevitably lead to great resistance.

So Gao Huaiyuan let go of his arrogance, and he never refused the banquets and gifts from the gentry, and kept socializing every day. Fortunately, he was quite good at drinking, otherwise, it might not be a big problem to get alcoholic liver at a young age.

In this way, Gao Huaiyuan quickly became acquainted with some wealthy gentry in the county and township. Although these people had heard of Gao Huaiyuan before, after this meeting, they saw Gao Huaiyuan's extraordinary bearing and conversation. Being approachable and approachable, he won a lot of goodwill from this group of people.

Gao Huaiyuan also officially embarked on his official career, and began to flourish in Daye County.

Ever since Gao Huaiyuan returned to Daye County, he has been busy with all his feet. While he has to deal with the official business of the yamen, he has deliberately planned to do something in Daye County, and gradually make the local people in Daye County form a good relationship. Wu Zhifeng selected archers for training to increase the standing force in Daye County.

On the other hand, I have to care about the development of my own private industry from time to time, dispatch manpower and material resources, and support Huang Zhen to develop in the two Zhejiang areas. When I arrived in Ezhou, I handed it over to Huang Zhen.

And Huang Zhen was also well prepared, and handed over the matter at hand to his subordinates, and before leaving, in the name of Gao Huaiyuan, he gave a generous gift to each of the prominent figures on the Ezhou prefect's side, and sent these Officials who might affect Gao Huaiyuan drew up a detailed list, listing their dispositions and personal preferences, and sent someone to Gao Huaiyuan so that Gao Huaiyuan could get to know these officials better. Only then did two big river boats be hired, loaded with various goods, and headed towards Shaoxing.

After Gao Huaiyuan was busy with Huang Zhen's affairs, he began to turn most of his energy to official affairs. In one step, he solved the villains that plagued Daye County, and opened up the situation for him to be an official.

After solving this serious case, Gao Huaiyuan soon received a verbal commendation from the prefect of Ezhou, expressing his appreciation to him for solving such a major case in such a short period of time. In view.

First, Gao Huaiyuan selected fifty strong and strong townshipmen from various townships in Daye County, and reorganized the Daye County Archers Team. With Guo Liang as the leader of the Archers Team, they were concentrated and placed in the old battalion in the county. Among them, he personally trained these archers.

The overall quality of the Xiang Ding who passed his personal review and selection this time is much better than that of the previous batch of shooters. few!Although some people were reluctant to join the army, they had no choice but to join the archer team honestly and became archers due to the order of the county government.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. As the golden ox bids farewell to the old year and the lucky tiger welcomes the new year, Hanfeng would like to extend his most heartfelt blessings to the book friends who are fighting on the front line of reading!I wish everyone a salary increase every month, a tenfold increase in savings, better health, and better food!Happy New Year to everyone!
