Lord Moyu was forced to open

On the brand-new execution platform, the first batch of officials to be killed were brought up. One by one, the jailers inserted signs with their crimes and sentences on their backs.

Their voices had already been hoarse when they were arrested and imprisoned. At this moment, they could only look at the people watching the excitement below in horror, their eyes full of desire for life and fear of death.

An open space was cleared by the guards in front of the execution platform, and the officials who had committed less serious crimes were pulled over with ropes.

There was even a row of benches thoughtfully arranged for them. The four of them sat down in a row and looked at the stage under the scolding of the jailer.

Before Zeng Jian was imprisoned, he was a clerk in the Ministry of Industry. He was found guilty of taking 100 taels of silver from a certain project and was imprisoned. The most important thing was that the quality of the project was worrisome and something went wrong not long after it was completed. Several people were injured, but he suppressed them all so there was no thunder.

This time, the Beijing inspection will assess the political achievements of all officials. Not only will the performance be looked at, but the authenticity of the performance will also be investigated.

Unfortunately, when this matter was exposed, he was thrown into prison as a matter of course. Not only did he fail the political examination, he even lost his official position and became a prisoner.

This morning was supposed to be the execution day for those high-ranking officials who were extremely greedy for killing people.

For some reason, after the felons who were to be executed were taken away, they were also picked up by the jailers and brought here.

To be honest, when this matter was brought up, they were almost scared to death. They thought that the emperor was so angry that even they would be executed. Everyone felt like they had lost their parents.

Weeping and mourning, he was about to be killed.

Unexpectedly, they were notified only after they arrived. It turned out that they were brought out not to kill them, but to watch the execution.

During the execution, you must look directly at the execution platform and cannot avoid it, otherwise you will be beaten when you return.

The mood suddenly went from hell to heaven, and the joy of surviving death made all the prisoners heave a sigh of relief.

Although I don’t know why they are asked to watch the execution, it is the best news if it is not to execute them.

Everyone hurriedly sat down under the execution platform under the arrangement of the jailer, and looked at the platform.

Look away.

The first wave of officials to be executed were those with the highest official positions among the prisoners.

The first decadent old man in the queue was Han Jirong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't look as high-spirited as before at all. He seemed to have only one breath left in him.

The fat man in the second row was none other than Gao Yusong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who was only one step away from the position of minister of the Ministry of War.

Now he was kneeling on the ground covered in sweat, his eyes full of fear, looking like a dog!
Behind him is Wang Li, the censor of the right capital of the Inspectorate, then Liu Xuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was just promoted, Lu Wensheng, the young minister of Dali Temple... and so on, and the last one is none other than his boss, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Hou Yongzheng.

It can be said that these people were all big shots in the past who would make the entire Bianjing city tremble if they just stomped their feet casually.

However, today, they all have only one identity - prisoners, or death row inmates who are about to be executed.

The changes in the world are really hard to fathom.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the sun above our heads finally reached its highest point.

The weather in July and August is the hottest, and everyone is already sweating from the heat.

The arrival of the execution time also made everyone breathe a huge sigh of relief, feeling that it was finally about to begin.

Zhang Zheng, who was sitting at the top, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then took out a black token from the token bucket and said loudly:
"It's noon. Has the prisoner been identified?"

The document responsible for confirming the execution of the prisoners immediately stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "Shangguan, all ten prisoners have been identified and confirmed to be correct!"

"Okay! Now that we have verified our true identity, let's start the execution!
By the decree of the Holy One, criminal law will be executed against a group of offending officials at Caishikou, Dongshi!
The verdict is final! Immediate execution! "

pat!

The black token was thrown out heavily, it was the weight of a human head.

The executioner pulled out the signs behind the ten felons and threw them aside.

The executioner picked up the wine and took a sip, then sprayed it on the ghost head knife to disinfect it, and then raised the big knife in his hand high.

As if they felt death coming, the ten people who had been silent just now finally couldn't hold it any longer.

Or yelling. "Zhang Zheng! I'm sorry to you!"

"Zhang Zheng, you stupid king's lackey, just wait, you will die!"

"Zhang Zheng, I'm waiting for you below!"

Or break down and beg for mercy.

"UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuYour Majesty! I know my mistake! I realize my mistake! I don’t dare to do it anymore! Uuuuuuu..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.u.v.uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.u.v.u, Your Majesty, I was forced! I was forced! Your Majesty, please forgive me! Wuuuuu..."

Or he was so frightened that he became incontinent, and his urine and Yoneda's urine flowed all over the floor in an instant.

The executioner behind him quickly stepped back in disgust.

Two guards who were watching from the execution platform immediately came up and held him up to prevent him from falling.

The various appearances make people sigh.

But after all, he couldn't escape a knife on his head.

It was impossible for Zhang Zhengke to let them go because of their begging for mercy, nor was he angry because of their scoldings. Seeing that everything was ready, he immediately shouted loudly again:
"cut!"

As soon as the words fell, the ten ghost-headed swords that had been prepared fell straight down!

Poof! Poof! Pfft...

The broadsword cut through flesh and bone and chopped off bones.

Ten balls flew out and landed on the execution platform.

After a short period of silence, ten bloody fountains burst out!
The execution platform and its surroundings were dyed red!

At this moment, the prisoners sitting under the execution platform felt their faces heat up, and the next moment blood spurted out and splashed all over them.

He stared blankly at the living people on the stage who had various expressions just now, but now they were turned into headless corpses.

The impact of this reality made all the prisoners freeze on the spot.

Zeng Jian even stuck out his tongue and licked the blood splashed on his face. It was warm and had a fishy smell.

The next moment, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

There are many like him here.

But the guard who asked them to stare directly at the table did not come to wake them up. They looked at each other and laughed silently.

On the stage, ten headless corpses and one head were quickly cleared away, and the next round of ten people were pressed up, and then beheaded according to the procedure, and then the next group, and the next group.

Like an assembly line, dozens of heads were chopped off neatly in one afternoon, and the entire execution platform was completely soaked in blood.

Even the people who came to watch the execution were frightened into silence.

After the execution, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

The guards put everything away and left silently.

And all the prisoners who were pressed over to watch the execution were also driven back.

Everything ended so peacefully, as if it was just a normal scene.

But for a person, such a scene is enough for them to remember for a lifetime!
