Chapter 1155 Fourth Master Seems to Be Relaxed and Lazy
Therefore, the fourth master sent an edict to Baoping Mansion and the major yamen.
Officials of the fourth rank and above in Baoping Mansion, no matter whether they are relatives or close friends, must be seen off when dozens of officials beheaded for public display.
But everyone knows that, to put it nicely, it's a send-off.
To put it bluntly, it is watching the sentence.
To put it more harshly, this is clearly killing officials to show them.
And even if those people knew fourth master's real intentions, they still had to bite the bullet.
Whoever makes thunder, rain and dew is a blessing from heaven.
The emperor asked them to watch, and they had to go.
Otherwise, the end will be miserable.
At this moment, after hearing what fourth master said, the people present couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Ling Chi is the most brutal form of death penalty.
A total of 3357 knives are needed, and the criminal must be stabbed to death at the last knives, which is the 3357th knives, in order to be successful.
This picture, even thinking about it, is a bit shocking.
But they knew what the emperor's intentions were.
In addition, the government of Baoping Mansion this time is really hateful.
The lives of tens of thousands of people were delayed by them, and they had to be punished properly.
Otherwise, the punishment will be light, and the people behind will not take it seriously, and will continue to follow their old path.
"Your Majesty, before you came, several officials committed suicide in fear of crime. How should we deal with this?" Zhang Tingyu reported.
Before Fourth Master took the throne, some officials knew that he hated corruption.
Especially after he came to the throne, he cracked down on corrupt officials, and his methods were horrible.
So, as early as when I heard that fourth master came to Baoping mansion in person.
There are so few who commit suicide in fear of crime, and want to die all at once.
"Suicide?" Fourth Master sneered, and said, "These people know that their crimes are so serious that they cannot protect themselves, so they want to deny it with death, and save their property by death, so that future generations can enjoy it. The family property is seized, and then his family is monitored, and the properties that have been sold are recovered, so as to prevent him from transferring and hiding the stolen money. Even if they commit suicide, their family property must be ransacked."
"Yes." Zhang Tingyu replied.
Probably felt that this was not enough, so the fourth master said again: "For these people, there is no need to be in the way of sympathy, and they must be strictly investigated and dealt with. Chase these people to the end, and make their children and grandchildren also be poor, which is in line. My original intention!"
Zhang Tingyu answered "Yes".
It seems that those people were wrong, thinking that death would be the end of everything.
Who knew that the emperor would not spare even the dead.
Even their relatives and children don't make it easier for them...
At noon on the day when the officials were late, Fourth Master sat on the gate of Baoping Mansion, looking down at the dozens of officials wearing wooden shackles and shackles below.
One by one, they are either fat and oily, or thin as a monkey cheek.
Otherwise, it is a thief with eyebrows and mouse eyes.
And they also have one thing in common, they are not good.
Where they knelt, a group of ordinary people surrounded them.
Because of drought and famine, the people themselves were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark.
Therefore, there is no phenomenon of throwing eggs and cabbage.
However, there are phenomena of people throwing stones at them.
While throwing stones, the common people scolded the officials they hated.
What's more, the eighteen generations of ancestors of those officials were scolded.
As a result, within a short period of time, the twelve people were smashed with stones, and they were in a panic.
Fourth Master originally seemed to be sitting lazily on the city gate.
When the time for beheading came, he stood on the city gate with his hands behind his back, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
The pair of eyes that seemed to be able to pierce through everything fell on the twelve officials.
Makes people shudder in the hot summer.
Suddenly, a thunderous voice came from the sky: "You bastards, your eyes are darkened when you see money, and you are full of shameless habits. You are blinded by profit and have no conscience! It is hard to understand if you are not executed today. The common people only hate in their hearts, and they are ashamed to face the tens of thousands of people who died in the disaster in Baoping Mansion!"
After speaking, he grabbed a handful of lottery tokens from the bamboo tube on the side, and threw them towards the city gate.
As the signing token fell at the city gate, the executioner chopped it down neatly with his gleaming sword.
Immediately, the execution ground was covered with blood.
The heads of several officials just rolled to the ground, some of their lips were slightly parted, and their eyes were still staring.
At the same time, the bodies of several officials who had been cut in half were cut in half from the waist by a heavy ax in an instant.
Although the crimes of these few are unforgivable, but the crimes are slightly less serious, and they can be happy.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!" The remaining three extremely evil officials were screaming in pain, enduring the pain of Ling Chi.
I saw that the performer was holding a small knife with a cold light in his hand, cutting them one after another.
Seeing this, although the people felt bloody, they clapped their hands and applauded.
"Yes, if the dog officer didn't act, my family would not be what it is now."
"That is, I have a good family, but now I am the only one left."
"After being bullied by these dog officials for so many years, I can finally see their end today. It's really venting my anger!"
"Yeah, I thought our Baoping Mansion was going to be defeated. Fortunately, the emperor came to deal with it in person and gave us a peaceful day."
so and so...
However, the relatives of those officials and the rest of the local officials are completely different from the common people.
Under the scorching sun, the sharp light reflected from the cold knife pierced their eyes and hearts.
The cold light on those blades finally turned into cold air, and goose bumps appeared layer after layer from the soles of their feet up.
It was as if those knives were cutting on their bodies.
It made them shudder several times in the summer.
Some even held their chests that were jumping "putong", and their stomachs were churning.
But because there was a living Lord of Hades watching at the gate of the city, he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart.
Just as Si Ye said, this scene made their hearts jump, their muscles and bones softened, their souls faded away, their dreams and souls were disturbed...
After drinking a cup of tea, the originally hoarse cry of pain turned into a weak and painful moan.
All the faces that are fat and oily, thin and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and eyebrows and mouse eyes, have long been changed under Ling Chi, blood dripping, shocking...
However, Lingchi is a long punishment.
Thousands of knives are technical operations, which cannot be completed in two or three days.
So, half an hour later, fourth master explained some things and left the city gate.
Naturally, some ordinary people will not stand under the sun all the time.
And the Ling Chi punishment of these three people lasted for three days and three nights.
Three days later, on the execution ground under the city gate, the scorching sun shone on the bloody ground.
There was only a pile of rotting flesh and three piles of bones.
During the period, many ordinary people spent money to buy a piece of meat from them, saying that they would take it back to pay homage to the dead.
