After experiencing the simmering eagle psychological warfare, Zhu Pingan again appreciated a kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
Follow Zhai Langzhong from the light mill out of the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Justice Secretary He Ao office room, Zhu Pingan also failed to see He Shangshu, because He Shangshu is not in the office room, but in the Ministry of Justice of a lobby to hear the trial of a case.
The case is the Ministry of Justice and Jin Yiwei joint trial, by the Ministry of Justice, another cleaner Division Langzhong main trial, Ministry of Justice He Shangshu in the lobby hearing, at the same time in the hall hearing there are four Jin Yiwei Commander Wei Boyang, in addition to the Ministry of Justice of the police there are a number of Jin Yiwei lieutenant in the lobby.
Don’t look at the jinyiwei lieutenant with the word lieutenant, they are just ordinary jinyiwei, “lieutenant” is equivalent to other guards “pawns”, jinyiwei lieutenants are selected from the folk as a strong, that is, the folk of the martial arts masters, they are specialised in the implementation of halobin ceremonial, and before driving the summoning of officials, the police, the police, the police, and the police, and the police.And driving before the summoning of officials, the difference between the public office. Jinyiwei open imperial prison, similar to today’s trial to decide the case or something, Jinyiwei lieutenant is also familiar with it.
Because He Shangshu was listening to the trial, Zhai Langzhong led Zhu Pingan to a room near the lobby to wait for the case to be finished, and then go to see He Shangshu.
Zhu Pingan was sitting in a position where he could just see the scene of the caning outside the lobby.
“Lord Qu, please.”
A prisoner dressed in white prison clothes with a terrified look was “invited” out of the hall by two brocade guards with a smile on their faces, calling him Lord Qu, but without any respect, it was as if they were pinching a chicken cub, racking out the prisoner known as Lord Qu.
“Courtesy is not inferior to the common people, the punishment is not a doctor …….I am a seventh grade magistrate, you can not do this to me ……” The prisoner-clothed Lord Qu cried out in fear and struggled.
The position is not far, Zhu Pingan see very clearly, even the folds on Lord Qu’s prison clothes can be seen clearly, and the dialogue between the Qu magistrate and the brocade guards is also heard clearly.
Rituals do not go down to the common people, the punishment does not go down to the doctor …… Don t think about it, how many officials have been made into lanterns and hung as flags, not to mention the ordinary punishment.
“Aigoo, my Qu adults, not to mention your seventh grade magistrate, is the third grade of the great officer, the small also played. We are all rough men, we don’t know anything about rites not going down to the common people, punishment not going down to the great doctor or anything, we only know that we follow orders.”One of the brocade guards swept a glance at Governor Qu, glanced his mouth disdainfully, and returned with a leathery smile.
While speaking, the movements of the two brocade guards’ hands could not be affected in the slightest, and they walked to a bench in the courtyard while holding up Zhixian Qu, who was dressed in prisoner’s clothes.
“Is Lord Qu going to lie down on it himself, or are you going to let the little ones help you?”Arriving in front of the bench, the brocade guards let go of Zhixian Qu, looking at Zhixian Qu with a smirk.
“I …… will do it myself! Sven sweeps, Sven sweeps!!!”Qu Zhixian also knew that he couldn’t avoid it, flattened his backbone, gritted his teeth with hatred, patted the dust on his body with force, and slumped down on the bench.
“Wanping magistrate disobedient to the superior officer, talk about state affairs, caning sixty. Remembering that it is not easy to be an official, reduce the cane by half.”
After Qu Zhixian had just plopped down on the bench, a small official from the Ministry of Justice came out of the lobby, displayed a warrant stick in his hand in front of Qu Zhixian, and expressionlessly read out the punishment the hall official had imposed on Qu Zhixian.
In the Ming Dynasty, the punishment of caning was ten to one, with the minimum number of canes being sixty and the maximum being one hundred canes. Just read out the order sign, Qu magistrate to be caned sixty, because the officials have preferential treatment so halved the execution, that is, thirty canes.
“If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse.”
Governor Qu grunted and fell silent.
After the reading, the two brocade guards each fetched a large, long, thick thorn, about three feet long, with the beating end being thicker, as thick as a person’s fist, with dried blood stains speckling the top.
“The weight is lighter, or wrapped in iron with barbs of the court scepter to hold in the hand more comfortable ……” The brocade guard deliberately in front of the Qu magistrate pawed the thorns in his hand twice, not without intimidation, said.
“Lord Qu, is there anything you want to explain?”Another brocade guard looked at Qu Zhixian squeezed his eyes, rubbed his fingers together and asked with a sense of purpose.
This is asking for a bribe?
Oh …… Zhu Pingan saw this scene, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, it is true that like the history books say, there are many cats inside the caning as well as the court caning, and also gave birth to three hundred and sixty lines outside the three hundred and sixty lines, because the caning is definitely counted as a craft, the errand boys who do this line of work and the brocade guards all rely on their crafts to”Eat”, such as this jinyiwei.
The jinyiwei who can go out for caning are all practised to learn this craft by worshipping the master and sending gifts. According to miscellaneous histories, it took several years of practice for the jinyiwei to master this craft. They mainly practised two means, one was light on the outside and light on the inside. When they practice, they have to make two dummies, one of which puts tofu inside, and the other dummy puts bricks inside, and both wear clothes on the outside. Put the tofu practice external weight internal light, the jinyiwei only to do to the outside of the clothes beaten to pieces, the sound of banging, while the inside of the tofu does not hurt the slightest bit, is considered to be home; put the turn of the head is the practice of the external weight internal light, the jinyiwei only to do to the outside of the clothes do not hurt the slightest bit, while the inside of the turn of the head beaten to pieces, is considered to be home.
In this way, if someone gives them a bribe and gifts before the execution, or the chief has hinted at light beatings, they will use the external light internal light techniques, the people look at the beating of the skin open flesh, but in fact, just skin wounds, go home to nurse a few days will be able to live; on the contrary, if there is no bribe and gifts, or the chief has hinted at the heavy beatings, they will use the external light internal light techniques, look at the skin is only red, but inside the injury is very heavy; the guards will only do to make the outside clothes not hurt a little bit, but inside the turn head to beat to pieces, is considered a master.On the other hand, if there is no bribe before the execution, or if the officer has hinted at a heavier beating, they will use a light external and heavy internal technique.
With the cane in my hand, I can decide the severity of the beating at the drop of a hat.
People who were beaten would often pay for a lighter beating, thus giving rise to the 360th line.
Of course, if one didn’t have the money or didn’t know the trick or was straight, then one would only get a hard beating.
“Hmph!”
Governor Qu snorted coldly and didn’t speak again, showing everything with his actions.
“Hehe, since that’s the case then Lord Qu will bear with it, the little ones are also acting under orders, please forgive the little ones for taking offence ha.”Seeing this, the brocade guards let out a cold smile, their mouths said politely, but the movements of their hands were definitely downright vicious.
Snap.
The torture cane brought a fishy wind and landed hard on Governor Qu’s hip.
In an instant, Qu Zhixian was like a goose, stretching his neck and wailing a throaty cry of pain with veins showing on his forehead.
One, two, three, four ……
Accompanied by the fall of the torture cane again and again, Qu Zhi Xian’s voice of pain screaming was more miserable than once, and in the end, they could only see the shape of their mouths, so much pain that they could no longer make a sound, and they only had the reflex of opening and closing their lips.
In an instant, the white prison clothes on Governor Qu’s hip had been soaked with blood stains.
“This is Wanping Zhixian, said to be in the public during the Beijing inspection some time ago to delude the superior official, several times and three times to discredit the Beijing inspection ……” Zhai Langzhong timely told Zhu Pingan the past of Qu Zhixian, and then quietly measured Zhu Pingan’s expression.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
There was no doubt about it.
Disobedient to the superior officer, non discussion of the imperial government, huh …… This scene is definitely killing the chicken to warn the monkey, Zhai Juntao is deliberately bringing himself to see this scene. Zhu Pingan sat at the table, calmly looking at the scene of the execution outside, like watching a film, with a faint smile on his face.
This made Zhai Langzhong disappointed.
