Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 230: Death row
Suddenly Wu Mian and Gui Bugui disappeared, leaving Jia Shifang, who was bent on dying, stunned for a moment. Then he reacted suddenly, turned around and jumped down the window. Then a gust of wind ran down in the direction of the back door.
While Jia Shifang left the silver number, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui got into the carriage parked at the door. The old guy heard the steward's report that Jia Shifang had left the silver number, so he smiled at Wu Mian and said, "Looking at Shao Tingfang's face, the old man knew that you couldn't do it. It's not my old man who praised him, there is such a thing. There are not many people who still listen to their wives so much. There is one less one who dies..."
Wu Mian glanced at the return with his unique eyes, and said: "Yes, there are not many children in the world who want to die together with their father. If you talk nonsense like this, be careful that there will be one less..."
I heard Wu Mian talk about Hundred Wuqiu, and now I don't have the mood to continue talking nonsense. He hurriedly ordered the carriage to drive in the direction of the Great Prison of the Five Cities Soldiers. At this time, it was completely dark, and it was time for curfew. Apart from their carriage, there were no other people walking around on the street.
Guibugui carried the road signs given by Prince Yi on his body. When encountering soldiers who were patrolling the night, as long as the road signs issued by Prince Yi himself were displayed, no one dared to stop them. After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, this was a precedent set by Yongzheng, showing his unique love for this younger brother.
Seeing as long as you cross two more streets, you will arrive at the prison. A team came from the direction of the east of the city. At first, the coachman who did not return thought he had encountered soldiers on the night watch again.
I didn't expect that after the team approached, the coachman shook his head again and again and said to himself: "Unfortunately, I still meet these death row prisoners at night, and I have to play cards when I go back. Now I'm going to lose 80% of the time. Arrived at grandma's house...there are no taboos...good luck..."
Listening to the coachman's words, Gougui smiled and saw a pair of prisoners walking across from the car window. More than 20 prisoners were guarded by more than 30 soldiers, and they also walked in the direction of Wucheng Bingmasi prison. These prisoners were all wearing shackles, and they walked for a while: "Huang chi... shaky".
"What is the taboo of seeing prisoners? Aren't we going to prison? You don't understand, it's taboo to see beheadings. Unfortunately, people today don't understand that, and they go forward desperately when they see red flags. , beat up this unlucky lively..." After saying something to the coachman with a smile, Gui Bugui continued: "Don't be in a hurry, go and ask them who they are? Why did you enter the city at this time?"
The coachman dared not refuse to obey. Immediately, he jumped off the carriage and trotted all the way to Mr. Qian, who was leading the team on the opposite side. Nodding and bowing, he said a few words, and while speaking, he turned his head and pointed at Wu Mian and the carriage that did not return. It should be talking about the owner of the Surabaya, and the friend of Prince Yi Yunxiang is in the car.
After saying a few words, the coachman saluted Mr. Qian, returned to the carriage, and said to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, "You know, this is a prisoner on death row escorted from Zhili. It is also to be sent to the prison of Wucheng Soldiers and Horses for temporary custody. Seeing that the autumn equinox is coming soon, these are all determined by the emperor's red pen. The autumn queen is going to be sent to Caishikou for questioning. They originally entered the city too late. Now, I counted the number of people at the gate of the city again. So it has been delayed until now..."
After listening to the coachman's words, Gui Bugui nodded, and then asked again: "Old man, I remember that Qiuhou asked the beheading, and the prisoners were sent to their original places to be beheaded. When was the new rule established and changed to Has it been shipped to the capital?"
"Master, you've already asked this, I know it when I was young." The coachman smiled and continued: "In the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, a prisoner in Henan bought the executioner. Bought a tuberculosis ghost to die for him, and later this matter was stabbed. Later, Lord Kangxi changed the regulations and sent all the prisoners in Qiujue to the capital for beheading except for those who were executed. See who can be executed. Bought the capital's supervisor to cut off officials..."
While the coachman spoke, the group of escorting prisoners had already arrived at the side of the coach. Through the car window, I glanced at these prisoners. One by one, these people didn't look like good people. They waited for the team to pass by the carriage. After returning home, he smiled and said to Wu Mian, who was beside him: "It seems that these days in prison will be difficult. It's getting lively..."
Wu Mian ignored this sentence and asked, "Then we still have to go to jail?"
Gui Bugui smiled and said, "I'm going even more now, old man, I should know who Robben is waiting for... Coachman, let's go back to the silver number first, and we won't go to jail tonight." He wanted to go to prison, but he changed his mind and let the coachman drive the carriage back to the silver number of the Surabaya. The coachman waited all night, missed the agreed card game, and never saw the owner come out again.
From this day onwards, the capital has been able to see death row prisoners from other places being escorted into Beijing all the time. These prisoners were sent to various cells for custody. In order to free up the cages, some prisoners with minor crimes were even driven out to make room.
The prison of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses also started to get busy. A total of ninety-eight prisoners came in four waves last night. Counting the roster, verifying the body, checking the body, I was busy until it was almost dawn, and this was the end for the time being.
In the morning, when Robben, who was blind-eyed and went by the pseudonym Deng Dakui, and the other jailers, returned to the prison, they saw that the head of the cell and the jailer who were on duty last night were all sleepy. Only after inquiring did I know that there were nearly 100 more prisoners in the prison last night.
According to the rules, these death row prisoners have to be re-identified in front of the jailer. At the moment, ten men and ten women were taken out of the cell, and Robben took the initiative to request the custody of these prisoners. Immediately, he brought the first wave of ten prisoners to the front of the prison guard's lobby, and together with the other prison guards, he beat the prisoners to their knees with sticks.
At this time, the Prison Secretary picked up the roster and glanced at the names on it. First, let Robben inform these prisoners about the rules here on his own behalf, and then listen to Robben's name with a cold face, and tell the crimes of these death row prisoners...
“He Yuanqing, male, thirty-nine years old. Born in Baoding, Zhili, a monk from Taizhen Temple in Baoding, he had an affair with the nun of Qingyuan Temple in Funiu Mountain in the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi. After asking about the cut..."
“Zhao Dejun, male, 73 years old. He is a native of Anyang, Henan. He is the leader of the evil sect Ghost Taoism. Since the 31st year of Kangxi, he has spread Ghost Taoism in various places, deceiving ignorant women and children. In the 43rd year of Kangxi, he practiced evil methods and stole it in Xi’an. 85,000 taels of silver were taken from the officials, and the incident caused officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, and Zhao Dejun killed 15 officers and soldiers..."
Hearing this, the prison guard couldn't help but say: "Does this kind of German prisoners have to be escorted to the capital? They should be executed..."
Before the warden finished speaking, Robben came to him with the roster. He leaned into the prisoner's ear and said, "Your Excellency, it was originally an execution. However, this person is proficient in evil methods, and it is useless to cut with a knife, shoot with arrows, or burn with fire. After reporting it to the court, His Majesty personally ordered him to be escorted to Beijing. I heard that this autumn competition has invited Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain to come to the town, forgive him that he has great supernatural powers, and he will not be able to pass Zhang Tianshi."
After hearing this, the prison guard nodded. He didn't want to provoke the leader of the ghost Taoism. At the moment, he said to Robben: "Dakui, don't talk about him anymore, move on to the next prisoner..."
Robben then went on to the next prisoner: "Li Xiaojiao, female, 21 years old, had an adulterous affair with her neighbor Wang Sheng, Kangxi murdered her husband in 61 years..."
It took a lot of work for the whole morning to identify these prisoners with great difficulty. But at this time, another wave of prisoners came, and it seemed that the prison would not be easy on the day of the beheading. But that's it, the Prisoner and Scar Blind-eyed and they still did not forget to flatter the big man who was pretending to be Bai Wuqiu. When it was time for lunch, I saw that no one from Prince Yi's Mansion had come to deliver the meal, so I hurriedly called a table from Wangde Tower for a waiting table.
Seeing the big man in the prison eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the other new death row inmates don't understand in their hearts, what kind of law this big man has committed, and they all say that he needs to eat a good meal before he dies, but this table Good too much. Is he trying to usurp the throne, or is he sleeping with the empress...
