The punishment in Xiqin is the harshest among all territories.
There are many types of death penalty: car splitting, body dissection, laparotomy, beheading, abandoning the market, pumping ribs, killing and so on. The harsh punishment is to keep the people from violating the law as much as possible, and it is also to make the entire West Qin territory more solemn. In order to show everyone these death sentences well and raise people's awe of the law, every city in the Western Qin Dynasty has very large open-air courts.
This kind of court was built similar to the Colosseum, and they all came with a large-scale auditorium. It's just that the Colosseum is low in the middle and high around, while the law field is high in the middle and low around. Even so, the place in the middle is not too high, and it can ensure that as many people as possible can have a panoramic view of the scene on the execution ground. If you think this is not enough, you can go to the second floor of the nearby teahouse to order a cup of tea. This place is higher than the beheading platform, so you can watch it more enjoyable.
Ordinary criminals are dragged up and killed, and there are at most dozens of onlookers around them. Although people have the habit of seeing hunting, this thing is not art after all, and it can't bring people any spiritual pleasure. Except for some people who really have nothing to do, not many people will come to see it. . But if some well-known criminals or ordinary criminals were sentenced to some strange death method, then the surrounding onlookers would be able to block their mouths.
For a person like Ying Bai, the son of the Western Qin Dynasty, on the day he was sentenced to death, the nearby "Chaqingju", "Su Restaurant", and "Red Bird Courtyard" were already fully booked. Especially those places on the second floor with particularly good views can even be fired for more than a dozen gold coins. Some people spend a lot of money just to see the white head fall to the ground.
The sea of people is endless.
At noon, the sun hangs high, and the white and miserable sunlight fills the world.
The messy-haired son of the Western Qin Dynasty, Xiaobai, was brought up. There was an iron ring in his mouth, and the iron ring crossed his upper lip, tongue and lower lip, and he couldn't speak any words. His hands, together with his neck, were fixed by heavy shackles. The nails on the wrists were not removed, and the steel cables on the lutes were tightly wound. Although the nails on his ankles were removed, it only allowed him to move forward at a slow speed. He who used to run thousands of miles without fear, now had difficulty taking every step.
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"Betray Xiqin, you should be punished!"
All the people shouted loudly.
The one responsible for chopping off Yingbai's head today is the highest executioner in Xiqin, the evil side of "Ghost Saber". His realm is also the Nine Great Consummations, and he has stayed in this realm for quite a long time. The Twelve Dragons Binding Prison only detains the heinous sinners, and the knife in the hands of the evil side never kills the unknown.
It is rumored that the obsession of people with extremely high realms may turn into resentment and attach to this land after death. Ordinary people can't see it, but it will affect the feng shui fortune of this land over time.
But those who are beheaded by the evil face will not have this kind of opportunity, and they will be killed immediately. The living people who were injured by the machete in Evil Face's hand would be in extreme pain every midnight, and even if the wound healed, it would not be relieved. Those who were killed by that machete would not be able to leave behind the great grievances, but would simply disappear into the world.
There are two people in charge of the execution today.
The first one is the lord of West Qin Dynasty, and the second one is Mr. Ting Chao.
The lord of the Western Qin Dynasty was sitting upright, looking at the visitors from all directions with a blank face, as if he was staring at thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Mr. Ting Chao was still holding a sword, sitting cross-legged on a chair. This time he didn't sleep, but he didn't look very energetic. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Bai who was brought up, and yawned quietly. He still looks handsome in middle age, with a calm smile on his sharp-edged face, without any airs of superiority, like the boss behind the counter of a coffee shop who only listens but doesn't talk.
Lord Xiqin, Mr. Tingchao, and Ghost Saber Evil Face, these three would be a big deal if they usually meet each other, but now they are gathered here. Not only that, but there were also elites from the Xiqin Anbu Organization, Xiqin Patrol Team, and Xiqin Lord's Guards... Different people had different clothes, different auras, and different positions, but they all guarded the area around the execution ground together. In case someone has the guts to step forward.
With this luxurious lineup, not to mention people, even an ant can't get close to the execution platform of the execution ground.
The crowd is still shouting. Filled with righteous indignation, passionate voice, ironic smile.
The two escorts for Xiaobai pushed him down in front of the execution platform and forced him to kneel down.
A leader of the judiciary stood in front of everyone holding a document and loudly announced Ying Bai's crimes.
Every time a piece is read, the cheers below will increase.
The voices of the people were full of voices and their fighting spirit was high, as if they were announcing that all evils should be eradicated.
"All the people of our West Qin are proud of our West Qin. We are proud of the laws of the West Qin, the government orders of the West Qin, and the army of the West Qin. However, the son of the world, Yingbai, blatantly ignored the laws and spread my West Qin secrets to others. Territory. The circumstances are bad and the crime is unforgivable. Therefore, the son Yingbai is sentenced to be beheaded. I hope that those who are present today will abide by the laws of our Western Qin Dynasty in the future, and don’t let this scene happen again.”
After he finished reading, a voice below said loudly:
"Kill this sinner who eats inside and outside!"
One person raised his arms and shouted, and the voices of thousands of people came and went.
Ying Bai, who was covered in injuries, looked at these people calmly, neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.
If it were an ordinary person who was misunderstood in this way, the eyes before death must also contain infinite resentment. It didn't even take a month to go from the son whom everyone admired to the death row prisoner who was at the end of his life. Ying Bai could have promised his father that he would walk the same path as the current Xiqin and plunge into the abyss. But in the end, he didn't want to live with a muddy body, and he didn't want to see the "weirdness" that happened to the people of West Qin intensify. From a certain point of view, he knelt here to be executed in order to protect the people under the stage, but the people below wanted to nail him to the pillar of shame in history for various reasons.
Perhaps, in the narration of every family in the future generations, he is the sinner of Xiqin.
But even so, Xiao Bai looked at those people without any dissatisfaction or resentment.
There was only a little pity in his eyes, the kind of sympathy for a moth throwing fire. When the abyss widened, no one could survive. The last thing he thought about was that it was thanks to Li De who came to the Twelve Dragon Binding Prison, which gave the situation a chance. Xiaobai prayed that Lide had returned to Yunyang. He thought Lide was a smart person and should understand the priorities.
The wound on my body started to hurt again.
But fortunately, it will be relieved soon.
"farewell."
He heard the rough and hoarse voice of the evil side of "Ghost Saber", and silently lowered his head.
Evil Mian took a glass of wine, rinsed it in his mouth, and sprayed it on the knife in his hand. Spirits flowed down the blade, and the evil face raised the blade high and looked at the Lord of West Qin.
The lord of West Qin said lightly:
"In the next life, don't be born in West Qin... Execution!"
The evil face took a deep breath, aimed at Xiaobai's neck, and slashed it down.
Almost at the same moment, Mr. Ting Chao suddenly withdrew his cynical smile and glanced at the auditorium below.
Two piercing sounds sounded almost simultaneously!
A pitch-black copper rod swirled and smashed at the head of the Lord Xiqin, without holding back, it was completely intended to open his head.
Another sharp long sword was thrown straight at the machete in the hands of Ghost Saber Evil Face.
Mr. Ting Chao chose to stop the former. He drew his sword, and the hem of his clothes fluttered with the wind. The sword in his hand hit the copper rod, and sparks flew everywhere. The copper rod was blocked back and landed firmly in the hands of a young man wearing a bamboo hat.
On the other side, the machete in Evil Face's hand was knocked out of his hand, smashed on the empty execution platform, and rolled to the feet of the Lord Xiqin clangingly. The crowd automatically separated to the left and right, and those who wanted to get rid of the relationship quickly stepped aside, only a young man and woman were still standing there.
The Anbu organization, inspection team, and West Qin Guards all assembled and surrounded them from the outside. They are not worried about the safety of the Lord of West Qin, because Mr. Ting Chao is protecting the Lord.
The lord of West Qin didn't look at Xiang Hei, the Prince of Southern Chu whom he had met many times, but looked at the person on the other side.
There, Lide smiled at him, pulled out another long sword from his waist, raised his hand, and directly nailed the hand that Evil Face was going to pick up the machete to the execution platform.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way."
That was all Lid said, and then he rushed towards the execution platform in big strides.
