Chapter 36: Imprisoned 4

There are 18 kinds of martial arts in the world, and 18 kinds of torture in Jinyiwei. Both can be said to be a good talent when their opponents meet. Cao Muwen had to admire the creation of the Chinese nation. Some people say that the Chinese nation is an unimaginative nation and a creative nation. This is wrong, this is incorrect, this is prejudice! Go to hell! The Chinese nation has a long history of inventions and many inventions. If someone wants to see it, go to prison! Just go to the interrogation room! There are the most creative inventions of the Chinese nation. Compared with these great inventions, Leonardo da Vinci is no different from sleeping on the body and drawing the body. For example,

Peeling: When peeling, the spine is cut down, the back skin is divided into two halves, and the skin is slowly separated from the muscles with a knife, and it is torn like a butterfly spreading its wings. The most difficult punishment is the fat man, because there is still a pile of oil between the skin and muscles, which is difficult to separate. In addition, there is a stripping method, which I don't know how credible it is. The method is to bury the person in the soil, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife above the head, pull the scalp open, and pour mercury into it. Because the proportion of mercury is very heavy, it will pull the muscles and the skin apart. The people buried in the soil will keep twisting in pain and can't break free. Finally, the body will jump out from the fixed mouth, leaving only one skin left in the soil. After peeling off the skin, it is made into two-sided drums, which can also be hung up, and hung up like dried fish to show the warning. The earliest peeling was after death, and later developed into live peeling. This punishment is like a snake molting, so there is also a good name called "White Lady". Cao Muwen doesn't know how this is related to "White Lady". Is it just because he can molt? It makes people puzzled.

Waist cutting: Because the waist cutting is to cut people from the middle, it is divided into two. The main organs are in the upper body, so the prisoner will not die all of a sudden. After beheading, he will still be conscious and will take a long time to die. Ming Chengzu killed Fang Xiaoru by cutting off his waist. It is said that after a knife, Fang Xiaoru also crawled with his elbow and wrote the word "usurpation" with his hands stained with blood. He wrote a total of twelve and a half before he lost his breath. From this point, Mr. Fang Xiaoru's handwriting is slower. If he writes a few more strokes and makes up 13 more, maybe this number of words can curse Zhu Di to death, but unfortunately, Fang Dawen still writes slower. It is estimated that there is less practice and he is not proficient in writing. Moreover, Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Di are both Chinese and don't know. The number of "13" foreign devils' death is estimated to be that thirteen Zhu Di is also alive.

Car cracking: that is, five horses are divided into corpses, which is very simple, as the name implies. It is to put a rope on the head and limbs of the prisoner, and the five horses rushed to five directions, tearing the person into six pieces. This is a death penalty with a long history. I remember that Shang Yang was sentenced to the division of five horses. It takes a lot of effort to cut off people's head and limbs, not to mention pulling. And the suffering of the prisoner can be imagined. When it's time to tear it apart, I'm afraid the prisoner will no longer feel pain. The painful thing is when it is pulling. It's like five powerful people are pulling you, pulling and pulling. You are like ants crawling all over, and even you will think so in the end, "Why is it not over? I'm fucking bored!" And you will also have a feeling of having a meeting with your limbs, head and torso together. Although you have always had a "limbs, head, and torso are all sacred and inseparable parts of my damn thing", you will still want to separate, because if you don't separate, you will have endless pain if you don't separate, and finally... you will be divided into six. Maybe a few years later, your six parts will still have a chance to gather together, but at that time you are called "the combination of six gods".

All five punishments: beheading, chopping, cutting hands, digging eyes, cutting ears and one, that is, "unloading eight pieces". This is more powerful than the "six gods split". That is six yuan, and this is eight yuan. In the Chinese nation, "six" and "eight" are both numbers related to making a fortune and a smooth and happy life, which is taken from a homonym, but it is not clear that this type of death penalty also contains the "mystery of numbers". This is usually after killing a person, cut off the person's head, hands and feet, and then chop the torso into three pieces. After the death of Han Gaozu, Queen Lv grabbed his favorite concubine, Mrs. Ruyi, chopped off her hands and feet, cut off her nose, ears and tongue, dug out her eyes, and threw her in the pigsty to feed her. As a result, Queen Lv's own son saw that he was scared of a serious illness, and then he cried and mourned.

Ling Chi: At first, he killed a person and then chopped it into meat sauce, which was called "hai". After this punishment, he remembered that there was a son road. This person was a disciple of the Confucius saint. The famous disciple of the saint was still the same. The person who killed him must be a barbarian and humiliating and humble! In addition, there is Bo Yikao, the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou. Later, the development was more refined, and the purpose was to make the prisoner suffer the most. Therefore, he not only executed when he was alive, but also required how many staves he had to die. It is said that later, Ling Chi had to be executed by two people each time. Starting from the feet, a total of 1,000 knives had to be cut, that is, 1,000 pieces of meat had to be cut off to allow the prisoner to cut his breath. It is said that if the prisoner is cut off without cutting a thousand knives, the executor will also be punished. Of course, the times are constantly developing. With the development of productivity and the improvement of medical standards, with the assistance of great doctors who save lives and help the wounded, Ling Chi has developed from more than 1,000 dollars to 3600 dollars in the Ming Dynasty! Then it developed into the "art of the death penalty" and the most famous person who suffered this punishment was the eunuch Liu Jin. I heard that it took three days to cut him die. And the worst was Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general who resisted the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Because Emperor Chongzhen was hit by a counter-term plan, he mistakenly thought that he betrayed the country with the enemy and sentenced him to death. Before the execution, he was covered with a fish net (making the muscles protrude so that they can be stabbed), and walked around the streets to show the public. The ignorant people who carried out strong onlookers in Beijing rushed forward (may have been some ulterior motives). People's agitation may be Man Qing, or Li Zicheng, or it may be the encouragement of something God knows) to bite off his meat piece by piece. That kind of psychological pain is probably much higher than the physical pain. Of course, a few years after Yuan Dushi's death, Li Zicheng and Li Chuangwang came, although "Welcome the king, I look forward to the king, and the king will not accept food." When the king broke into Beijing, he really didn't want food or anything, because what they wanted was not food, but life. After killing you, ask for your food. Of course, you are dead at this time, and you don't know. It's not clear.

Hanging: Hanging is a commonly used punishment abroad. The hanging of the Chinese was to hang with a bow string, that is, to put the bow around the subject's neck, the bow string forward, and the executioner began to rotate the bow behind. The bow turned tighter and tighter, and the executioner became less and less angry, and finally died. Yue Fei and his son died in Fengbo Pavilion (because he was a meritorious official, he could not be beheaded and left the whole body), and the exiled King of Gui at the end of the Ming Dynasty also killed Wu Sangui himself. However, such a death penalty is too civilized, has no visual stimulation and no ornamental value. It's boring to watch a person gasp there.

Cooking: that is, "Please enter the urn." There is also the source of idioms, which come from famous historical allusions, which is very good. At first glance, it is a "killing method" of historical value. It is indeed very valuable to kill people. That was the Tang Dynasty. When Wu Zetian was emperor, a cruel official called Junchen, advocated severe punishment, and often tortured prisoners who refused to confess. The method is to find a large urn, stuff the person in, and then heat it with firewood under the urn. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the prisoners are becoming more and more unbearable. If they refuse to confess, they are often burned to death in the urn. Later, when Wu Zetian heard about this, he came to Junchen and asked him what to do if the prisoner refused to confess. Lai Junchen proudly said this method, and Wu Zetian said lightly, "Please enter the urn" and burned Lai Junchen to death and bound himself as a cocoon.

Cao Muwen thought about so many ways of death, which does not include many other "worthless" punishments. Most of them are ways to beat ministers in the court, but it is just an enhanced version of those unruly boards in the government, which is not a big deal. Some people's psychological quality is so poor that they can't stand to see the minister being beaten. They say that it's humiliating and civil... I've never seen the world. If you have seen the prison of the "factory guard", you are guaranteed to bring it to me three days before dinner.

Cao Muwen thought for a moment, and then grabbed Wang Dera, who was still screaming in pain, and said to him, "You boy, since you have walked through the world, have you heard of the 18 kinds of torture of Jinyiwei?"

When Wang De heard this, he sweated coldly and said that he didn't know or didn't know. I sweated all the time, and my lips trembling. Cao Muwen wiped Wang De's forehead, which was already cold because of cold sweat. Wang De also didn't eat all night, and was beaten many times. He was thrown on the cold floor and poured cold water. Until now, he has been cold all over.

Cao Muwen seems to be unbearable. If he beats him a few times, he may faint again, so he doesn't plan to beat him again, so he has to change his elegant way of preaching.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I won't tell you anything else. We don't have much time either." Cao Muwen said this and looked at Wang De's expression slightly. You just have to be honest."

When Wang De heard this, he was only in the hands of his Jinyiwei. He thought that he would have to take off his skin even if he didn't die. He had no plan to leave here completely. How could he not know the name and method of Jinyiwei? This box is also broken, and the life and death are the same. It's better to meet each other honestly. Then he made up his mind to explain his own money.
