"Here I come."
"Someone who was beheaded today was from the Axe Society. These beasts should have died long ago."
"I was bullied by the Yijie Society. It's a pity that I won't kill the person who beat me today, but it would be nice to kill their leader."
Outside the city of Bianliang, on the willow bank, this time there was no morning breeze or waning moon, but a dense sea of people.
The eastern suburbs is a sloping land located at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, an execution platform has been built, and the outer perimeter is still surrounded by chevaux de frise, caltrops and the like to prevent the people from rushing to the execution ground and disrupting order.
Five hundred soldiers cleared the way, and together with a thousand Kaifeng government servants, they guarded the execution ground tightly. However, there were three layers of guards outside, and some people even climbed trees to watch.
This time, Gao Jimin was the supervising executioner and Zhang Tan was the chief executioner. As they all sat on the high platform built not far away, batches of prisoners were also brought up.
Logically speaking, beheadings in ancient times had to be done at 15:30.
However, there were too many people killed this time. This batch killed more than 300 people. If more than 300 people were killed every day, it would take nearly a month.
So they didn't waste any time and finished the work as soon as possible because they had to continue cutting the trees tomorrow.
Gao Jimin and Zhang Tan discussed it and immediately carried out the plan.
So batches of prisoners were brought onto the stage. Many of them were almost paralyzed and unable to move, some were so scared that their pants were wet, some were crying loudly, some had numb faces, and some were cursing non-stop.
The yamen runners didn't care about them. Two or three of them grabbed one person and dragged them onto the execution platform. Then they pressed them down on the platform to prevent them from moving.
"cut!"
After this group of twenty people were in place, Zhang Tan threw down the judgment lot in his hand without hesitation.
"kill!"
The executioners roared angrily and chopped down the bodies with their swords. In an instant, heads flew off.
The blood dyed Xingtai red, and then the bodies were dragged away and replaced by the next batch.
In the crowd, a man was staring at the stage intently. His surname was Wang and he was a small cloth seller. He had once had his leg broken by the big boss of the Axe Society.
Last time, the Axe Society's boss Li Sanlang came to the execution ground to see his brothers being beheaded, but he didn't expect that this time it was his turn.
Boss Wang stared intently, and when the second group of people came up, he finally saw the figure he wanted to see.
He shouted excitedly, "Li Sancai, you have come to this day. I told you long ago that you will get your comeuppance."
Many people who have been oppressed by these evil elements are as excited as he is.
Someone in the crowd cried with joy, "A Ping, that scoundrel Zhao who bullied you has finally been beheaded. You can finally rest in peace."
Someone cried, "Father, did you see that? That beast beat you so badly that you died soon after. And now, do you see that? He's going to be beheaded too."
"Liu Kuixi, you deserve death. You should be cut into pieces."
Some people were extremely excited and shouted enthusiastically: "This blow is a bargain for you!"
Li Sancai, Liu Kuixi and other people whose names were called looked up in confusion.
They vaguely saw familiar faces in the crowd.
They are the people who were once oppressed by them, the inferior people who were once treated like lambs by them.
But now he is outside watching them happily, watching them die.
“Puff!”
With one strike of the executioner's knife, these villains will never see this world again.
The whole world became even more enthusiastic and excited.
All kinds of cries of joy, the rage that had been suppressed in the heart for so long, and the feeling of grievance were all released at this moment!
This is the meaning of the death penalty!
