Chapter 627: The Executioner


"Chop" Liu Ye shouted, and Wang Xuance stepped forward to verify his identity.

The wooden card was thrown, and the executioner raised the ghost-headed broadsword high.

Zhang Xuan was pressed against a wooden pier, which may have been used for many years, and it had dark red blood stains on it, and it still exuded an unpleasant smell left by the prisoners who had been beheaded before.

Zhang Xuan smelled the unpleasant and strange smell, and his heart was like ashes.

No matter how he pleaded, and even expressed his willingness to take out all his family wealth, he couldn't replace the end of the Zhang family's destruction, and he couldn't save anyone.

Li Chao is an iron-faced king of Hades, and he doesn't talk about any affection at all, although the prince also intercedes for him, but it doesn't help.

The executioner was very fat, and he used to be a butcher who killed pigs.

The previous executioner was too old to hold a heavy ghost-headed knife and cut off the neck of a prisoner.

As a good executioner, if you can't cut your neck with a knife, it's time to retire.

The old executioner retired, and he had no son to inherit the trade.

Shangzhou actually did not have the inheritance of the executioner, so in the end the yamen found one from the butcher who killed the pig, and the executioner of the yamen was a more promising profession than killing pigs in the market, and he also ate public food.

The new executioner was very strong, and in the past, one person could kill a big fat pig of more than 300 catties.

A heavy ghost-headed knife is nothing to him, and it is no more difficult to dance than a butcher's knife.

The new executioner, who had eaten too much pigs, was as fat as a pig.

With a shout, the ghost-headed broadsword swung down fiercely.

There was an exclamation from the audience, and under the witness of everyone, the first knife of the new executioner was very smooth.

The knife accurately landed on Zhang Xuan's neck, the knife was very sharp and heavy, and with the executioner's big knife, Zhang Xuan's head was directly separated.

The head rolled forward several times before it stopped, and blood spurted high.

Patches of exclamations below.

"Good" People shouted.

Watching the beheading, this is also the people's favorite activity, this kind of activity is sometimes rare several times a year, each time it can always attract hundreds of people, and to watch the beheading, there is also a tradition, that is, the executioner's handiwork evaluation.

If the executioner's craftsmanship is good, a knife is broken, and it is neat, then everyone will applaud loudly, and if the craftsman is born, then it may be a bad harvest.

The level of applause is often the best way to evaluate an executioner.

The butcher's first trip to change careers was quite outstanding.

"Good" is constantly applauding.

Li Chengqian also sat on the side and watched.

The first time he saw the killing, his face turned white with fright, he vomited, and he was sick.

But now, he watched it with relish, and if he didn't have to maintain the name of the benevolent prince, he would want to applaud loudly.

"It's so neat."

Li Chao didn't think there was anything particularly unusual about this, on the battlefield, every Mo knife hand would be better than these executioners.

They held Mo knives, and they could cut people and horses in two with a single sword.

Any unfamiliar knife can cut off a person's head with a single sword.

Even a literati like Li Chao, with his sword, can still do one knife and two paragraphs.

"Teacher, why do they keep applauding?"

"It's tradition."

"What traditions" "Evaluate the executioners, if you cut well, everyone will applaud more.

And if the cut is not good, and it takes a few days to cut off the head, then there will be no applause, or even boos, and the color will be reversed.

If he is booed, the executioner may lose his job.

The last executioner in Shangzhou was applauded and had to retire because he was old and did not cut off a prisoner's head with a knife. ” "I'd love to have a few drinks, too."

Undertaking the main road.

"You give me an honest seat to sit here, and maintain your benevolent image."

The prince stiffened his face and said helplessly, "Teacher, why don't you uproot these thirteen families together, and keep the twelve of them?"

"Because our mission is not to kill people, but to raise food, and to stop in moderation."

Seeing that Chengqian still didn't quite understand, Li Chao didn't bother to talk about it, whether he could understand it or not depended on his own understanding.

"In fact, it is not necessary to applaud the killing, and there are three situations that cannot be applauded."

"What's the situation" Li Chengqian was hung up his appetite.

"The first situation is that the person who was killed was an official and could not be applauded.

Because they are officials of the imperial court, if they applaud, it will be detrimental to the prestige of the imperial court. ” "There is another one?"

"There is also a kind of woman, who is not allowed to be beheaded when called, for fear that the people will speak nonsense and insult etiquette."

"The official and the woman can't be applauded, there is some truth, what about the third one" "You can guess," Li Chao teased Chengqian.

"I guess it's a scholar, and a scholar can't be applauded for killing his head, it's insulting."

Undertaking the main road.

Li Chao just smiled and shook his head.

"Isn't it?"

"It's not."

Zhang Xuan's head fell to the ground, and the official pushed another one.

Wang Xuance and several people came to the stage in person, verified their identity, and confirmed that they were correct, and then ordered the executioner to take power.

"There is another kind of person who can't be applauded for killing his head, and it's a storyteller."

"The Storyteller" "Well, it's the storyteller."

In the past, there were no storytellers in the Tang Dynasty, and there were similar artists, who earned food by their tongues.

Later, among the major monasteries, there were also special monks and laymen.

These monks specialize in telling Buddhist stories and adapting Buddhist deeds into colorful stories.

Later, the temple became the most lively thing in the Buddhist temple, and even when some big families did happy events, they even invited the monks in the temple to come and talk.

Now, because of Li Chao, Chang'an has a special storyteller.

These storytellers were specially trained by Li Chao to promote his Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes.

Storytellers have also become more popular entertainers than lay monks.

"Well, don't shout hello when the storyteller is talking."

"Why?"

"Because after the storyteller is cut, if they hear a lot of applause, they will get up and come back," Li Chao said seriously.

"Get up and come back" After Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help but snort, and finally couldn't help it.

He hurriedly covered his face with his sleeve to hide his untimely smile.

It took a long time for Li Chengqian to hold back his laughter, and he looked at Li Chao with resentment, "Teacher, how can you be like this." ” "What's wrong with me" "You just did it on purpose, on this occasion, deliberately to make me laugh."

The audience applauded one after another, and the parents of the twelve families, including Wang Liu Zhengkong, were beheaded one after another.

The new executioner completely showed his superb strength today, cutting off thirteen heads in one go, and none of them missed, all of them were neat.

"After listening to that joke of yours, I didn't feel sick to my stomach today" "It's hard to indifferently watch killing people without throwing up, you've grown up."

"Can you use the word mature?"

"When will you be mature when you will kill someone with a sword yourself, and your face will not change, you will be truly mature at that time, and now, at most, you have grown up a little."

Li Chao said.

Li Chengqian nodded.

Off the field, the clansmen of the thirteen families cried and grabbed the ground below.

The men began to enter the venue under the supervision of the guards to collect the bodies of the parents "Teacher, is all this really necessary?"

"Of course it's necessary, it's all worth it."
