Zong Ying looked at the high platform made of bamboo in the open space, and the low piers full of bloody smells placed on the platform, she couldn't help rubbing her eyes vigorously, almost suspecting that she had made a mistake for a moment.
The sun was shining, and everything in front of them was clear. The place where these people brought themselves was clearly the East Market execution ground where the death row was executed.
Most of the laws of the Song Dynasty were derived from the "Tang Lv Shuyi", adhering to the concept of "the life of a person is a matter of life" in the law of the Tang Dynasty. They are extremely cautious about lawsuits involving homicide. After the trial is over, it must be reported to the Criminal Department, and then transferred from the Criminal Department to subordinates, Zhongshu, and to the Imperial Court of the Emperor. Moreover, even if it is the emperor official, it is not possible to make a decision in one word. Every time the emperor official approves it, the Ministry of Education must report the same case to the emperor official next day to prevent the emperor official from making a decision last time. At the time of the decision, there were other factors that affected the emotions, and wrong judgments were made. If it is three times, it can be returned to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and sentenced to be executed. This is called "three provinces and three repetitions" to show that the court cherishes human life.
Even though I only received the imaginary title of Xuancheng Lang of the 7th rank, I didn't have to release his actual position, he was only a rank official, but after all, he was also a magistrate who had been entrusted by the court. Without any actual evidence, Wan Haomao, Putting himself in jail is an extravagance and arbitrarily act, but now he has not been pushed through the court, let alone the conclusion of the case, and now he has brought himself to this East City execution site, what did he want? What are you doing? !
"Huh, brother Zongnian, can you recognize this place?"
After the table case behind the high platform, a gloomy voice came from Wan Hao. Zong Ying raised her head to look at his spiteful eyes. For some reason, she almost intuitively felt that Wan Hao's heart was filled with anxiety at this moment.
With a tenacious personality, if you put it in normal times and face yourself, a person who has a grudge against his heart, under the sentiment, I am afraid that I have already fallen into trouble, and I am extremely ironic and ridiculous, and I can play my cat. Rat-like perverted psychology, but now his brows are deeply furrowed, and his speech is also concise. It seems that he has brought himself to this place, and he is also nervous in his heart.
Zong Ying faintly grasped something in her heart, but she didn't have time to think about it, and smiled faintly: "Brother Nian's hospitality is really unique. I don't know which drama I want to watch when I brought Zong to watch today?!"
He had just turned his mind, he had already recovered from the initial shock and puzzlement, and he vaguely felt that he understood the situation in front of him. If he said that he would execute himself without being pushed, I am afraid Wan Zuo. No matter how frenzied, she doesn't have the courage to bring herself here, I'm afraid that she wants to be a accomplice and scare herself.
Accompanying beheading is also a common method used in criminal interrogations. When Dali Temple or the specially set up Investigation Institute encounters rebellious and hard-to-open felons, they are often taken to the execution grounds, and those who have already led them to the Criminal Department are often taken to the execution grounds. The approval document stated that the condemned prisoners who were awaiting execution were tied together, without prior notice, only to make them mistakenly believe that it was time for them to be taken to the sentence stand. So when they watched the executioner's hand and the knife fell, and the people around them were in a different place, even when blood was already splashed over themselves, this kind of oppression and fear of death was caused in the soul. The pressure often caused countless bandits and thieves to collapse instantly, and it was difficult to resist stubbornly.
It's just that this kind of handle is indeed extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of people who really licked blood from the knife on the battlefield, these are nothing more than frightening things to scare children.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zong Ying's mouth.
If Wan Hao wanted to use this to frighten himself, he would underestimate Zong Ying.
He didn't join the army, and he fought repeatedly with the Jurchens. His bravery in the army was exchanged with blood, and the lives lost in his hands were more than thousands. How could he take this kind of battle into his eyes.
With a sound of "bang", Wan Tongmao heard Zong Ying's sardonic words, and couldn't help but get angry, and forgot his scruples for a while. He slapped the gavel in his hand and screamed: "Bold! You are about to die. , Don't you still have no regrets?"
He likes actor singing in his life. He raised a group of actor actors in the past. He also played on the stage in person on weekdays and sang with them as a reward. That’s why he trusted Bao Daren so much. But since that day, he was in the golden palace because of Bao Daren. After being guilty, his face was lost. This preference has become the laughing stock of Lin'an officials. Even if Qin Hui released him this time, he had told him face to face to be careful afterwards and never be so silly.
When we met in prison that day, Zong Ying ridiculed each other with an actor. He already had a grudge in his heart. Today I heard that Zong Ying faintly said that he was singing a big drama right now. He couldn't help but become angry, and for a moment he forgot the original. The worries in my heart are violent.
"Death is imminent?" Zong Ying said slightly: "Zongmou is worthy of the sky, and he is not stunned. People who are imminent death and need to be enlightened are close in front of them, but I'm afraid it is not Zongmou."
"Okay, okay," Wan Tumo sneered: "Brother Zongnian really has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he didn't know that he would stay on the guillotine. Can Brother Zongnian still be so skillful in his tongue?!"
He stood up suddenly, and with a visual intent, he originally brought Zong Ying to come forward, and the few officers standing next to him suddenly stepped forward, cut Zong Ying's arms, and actually tied him up.
Zong Ying held her hand and stood still, but she did not resist at all. Instead, a sneer appeared on her face: "Zong is also a person who has been rolling in the dead. If Nian brother hopes to frighten Zong with this, But it can be harvested as soon as possible."
"Scared?" Wan Cheng was stunned, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. It was just that the laughter was unpleasant, but it was full of hideousness: "My Daozongnian brother is really a man who looks beyond life and death. It turns out that you are a stupid man who doesn't see the coffin and doesn't shed tears. If you are a local official, you will be extremely boring. Would you like Brother Zongnian to come to the Xingtang to be a joke?!"
With a visual intent, the two servants beside him reached out and picked up a file on the table in front of him, walked towards Zong Ying, and slowly unfolded the file in front of him.
Wan Yumao has already recovered the original deep gloom at this time, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth: "Although Zongnian has been with a rugged martial artist all the time, the few words he previously recognized must have not been forgotten, so you might as well see for yourself. What's going on."
Zong Ying looked at Wan Tongmao's fearless appearance, faintly felt her heart sinking slightly, and she looked up, and the two red crosses on the head of the file in front of her were shocking. It was actually the approval letter from the Ministry of Penalty to execute criminals, and she couldn't help but even more. My heart shook, I fixed my eyes, but saw the two red crosses, and the name of the offender Hou Zhanqin was actually written "Zongying"!
He suddenly raised his head, and was hitting Wan Tusao's sulky eyes: "Yes, there is a big show going on here, but it is not the official who is on the show, but you!"
