Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 293 Autumn Slash

  Cold Dew is the fifth solar term in autumn in the twenty-four solar terms. When it comes to cold dew, the weather changes from cool to cold, and the dew on the ground will condense into frost. The cold dew is divided into three categories: one is the geese and guests; the second is that the birds enter the water as clams; the third is that the chrysanthemum has yellow flowers. Therefore, for the people of Dazhou, in addition to enjoying maple leaves, eating crabs, and drinking autumn tea, Cold Dew can also gather in Caishikou to watch the annual event: beheading.

  Autumn, the criminal officer, the righteousness of heaven and earth, often takes chilling as the heart, and executes the prisoner after the autumn, in line with the way of heaven and the solar term. Outside the south gate of Kang'an City, at Dangyang Caishikou, someone came to clean it up early in the morning and set up the torture platform. The prisoners who were detained in various Yamen prisons in Kang'an City were escorted out of their cells at the same time, and after parading through the streets, they were sent to Dangyang Caishikou for execution.

  In the death row of Jingzhao Mansion, the breakfast sent by the jailer is four dishes and a pot of wine, and the aroma is permeating. But the prisoners were not happy at all, because this was their guillotine meal. After eating this meal, they dropped their heads and rushed to the Yellow Springs Hell. How can this make people happy?

   In the face of the guillotine, some were silent, some wept bitterly, and some were furious.

  Mengsan raised his hand and overturned the table, scolding loudly, "I won't eat it! You guys are waiting for my grandfather. When my father comes, one of you counts as one, and no one can escape!"

   "Master is waiting for you!" The prisoner's stick slammed **** the iron guardrail, and the crisp sound made one's eardrums hurt, "However, Dad, you can't see you anymore, it's easier to see your grandfather."

   At this moment, Meng San was really panicked, he reached out to grab the jailer's sleeve, and shouted hoarsely, "My father will come, he will definitely come!"

   The jailer rolled his eyes at him, "If you don't want to starve to death, just pick up the food on the ground and eat it. After half an hour, you should change your clothes and go on your way."

  Meng San sat paralyzed on the straw and muttered, "Master will not die, will not die..."

   The jailer who had been tortured by Meng San's howls for months suddenly bent down, "Meng San Gongzi knows why he wants to change your clothes?"

  Meng San was still muttering, "Master won't die, it's Jiang Er and Jiang's family who should be damned, Master won't die..."

The jailer said grimly, "If you don't change your clothes and tie your trousers, when you go to the guillotine, you are so frightened that you pee and pee on the execution platform, you will have to work hard for your grandfathers to clean up! If the third son of Meng is a man, when the executioner raises the machete, you will Don't be shy!"

He has watched    murder many times, applauding each time, and commenting with his brothers on which one splattered blood far, and which one's eyes and mouth would move after the head fell. But the man whose head was beheaded was going to be himself now, Meng San was so scared that his soul flew out, "Master won't die, master won't die... It was Jiang Er who framed master and prevented him from leaving the cell. , Damn it's Jiang Er..."

   Hearing that Meng San started talking nonsense, the head of the cell, Su Jiang, ordered, "Remove his chin."

"Yes."

   After Meng San's chin was removed, the prison finally returned to silence, except for the sound of eating.

  Autumn beheading is a major event, and Zhang Wenjiang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, assigned errands to the meeting of Jingzhao Prefecture and Wucheng Yamen early. The errand of Xicheng Soldiers and Horses is to assist Nancheng Soldiers and Yulinwei to guard Dangyang Caishikou.

Yulinwei had to deploy heavy troops to prevent someone from robbing prisoners on the road or on the execution platform; the officers of the Nancheng Bingma Division were responsible for erecting a human wall to maintain order; Jiang Erye's task was to appease the people at the scene to prevent them from being attacked. People instigate riots.

   As for how to appease, Zhang Wenjiang has no famous words, only let Jiang Erye act cheaply. When Yangcai Shikou cuts people's heads every year in Hanlu, Jiang Erye is not good at this, and he has never seen it once. This time, there is an errand, and in order to supervise that Meng San will not be replaced by the Meng family halfway, Jiang Erye arrived at Caishikou, Dangyang early in the morning, and greeted the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard. , Jiang Erye went to the east of the torture platform and stood steadily.

  Standing in the east, firstly, because the purple energy comes from the east, it can break the evil spirit; secondly, the executioner is also standing in the east, with the executioner blocking, Jiang Erye does not have to face the scene of beheading.

   He is not afraid, but because he thinks this is boring! Jiang Erye clenched the peach bone fan in his hand and touched the evil spirit pendant hanging at the end of the fan, only then did he feel more at ease.

The Golden Crow climbed slowly in the negative sun, and the execution platform was gradually surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Peng Fujiu ordered the officers of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division to open the human wall with one arm and stand inside the half-person-high guardrail. , to prevent the people from rushing into the execution ground.

   Among these people, there are those who have the guts to watch the fun, those who suffer to see their enemies lose their heads, and the families of prisoners who come to collect the corpses. Three kinds of people, three faces, three mentalities, the view is thought-provoking.

   In strict terms, Jiang Er was considered the second type, but he was not excited at all at this time. Jiang Erye knew very well that Meng San had committed a capital crime, and he had to die to deter those villains who harbored ill will towards the Jiang family. But his mood at this time was very different from the mood before he shot Yao Daishan to death. It was scary then, now it's complicated.

  Peng Fujiu saw that Jiang Erye's face was not good, so he hurriedly handed a sachet and whispered, "Second Master, take a sniff, maybe you can feel better."

   Jiang Erye took it and put it under his nose. He smelled the refreshing scent of pine wood, and he really felt more comfortable. He asked softly, "How are your wife and children?"

  Peng Fujiu's daughter-in-law, Haitang, was originally the first-class maid next to Jiang Erye. In July last year, she gave birth to a big fat boy. Speaking of his wife and children, Peng Fujiu's fierce face was full of smirks, "Okay, but Cheng'er's mother said that the villain should not go home for two days, so as not to bring anything bad back to scare the children."

   "Cheng'er is still young, you should really pay attention to this." Jiang Erye took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits from his sleeve, "You take this with you."

  Peng Fujiu said quickly, "Second Master, the villain is carrying it."

   "Take it, this was painted by Gui Miao of Xuanduguan." Jiang Erye said.

  Xuandu Guan Guan Zhu Guimiao Taoist priest is Kang An's most powerful Taoist priest, and his talisman is not easy to obtain. Peng Fujiu was welcome, and hurriedly took it with both hands, "Thank you, Second Master."

   Jiang Erye nodded and saw Jiang Bao walking over from the crowd. When Peng Fujiu saw someone coming to report the matter, he immediately avoided it.

  Jiang Bao approached and whispered, "The death row prisoners of Jingzhao House have been released from the prison and entered Tianmen Street. The Meng family's carriage has also left Shifeng Lane, and Fu Changchun has also left the Punishment Department."

  Fu Changchun, the minister of punishments, was the prisoner of this autumn beheading. Jiang Erye stood up with a serious face, and summoned Feng Zirui and Han Hongkui, the two deputy street patrol envoys who came with him today, "Working!"

   Seeing Erye Jiang standing up, the people onlookers immediately became agitated, and their eyes moved with Erye Jiang's footsteps.

   Jiang Erye glanced around and stopped on a ten-year-old child holding a jar. The boy sat on the wooden rail with a solemn face, staring at the execution platform without blinking.

   Thanks to the book friend Yunze and the little tiger in the city for the reward, and the second one is sent today.
