Chapter eight hundred and fifth punishment (4100)(2/2)
And on that piece of bright red eucalyptus, there was also a... "person" lying on it.
It's just that this man has no head, and a bare scarlet neck is facing Wu Liang and others. In addition, his limbs have been separated from the torso, and even the torso has been cut open, revealing the colorful and colorful body inside.
of internal organs.
"This is……"
Wu Liang searched carefully and found that the man's head was rolling down on the side of the Eucalyptus. Although he was still lying sideways, his painful and ferocious face was facing Wu Liang and others.
The scene in front of me was very much like a slaughter scene.
But the object of slaughter was not an animal, but a person.
"This is punishment!"
Yu Ji soon saw the clues and said, "The purpose of cutting the body into pieces and decapitating the owl is for punishment. This must mean that the owner of the tomb is warning us not to allow us to continue entering the tomb."
"Extermination?"
Some people are confused.
Wu Liang understood immediately, nodded and said, "This should indeed be a punishment."
Some of the backbone of the Hu army did not know that it was actually because Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, streamlined and merged the punishments of the Han Dynasty during the Western Han Dynasty, and merged the punishment of beating into the punishment of abandoning the city, and abolished the car-breaking and burial alive, and finally only left
There are three types of death penalty: beheading, beheading, and abandoning the market.
And the reason why Yu Ji said it was because the owner of the tomb was warning them.
This is because the calendar of the Pre-Qin Dynasty stipulated that "stealing tombs" was the same crime as murder, maiming, extortion and human trafficking, and should all be punished by punishment.
At this moment, Wu Liang and the rest of the Hu army had obviously committed the crime of "stealing a tomb", which was applicable to the scope of the punishment in the pre-Qin calendar.
However, Wu Liang did not intend to elaborate on this matter to avoid having a negative impact on everyone.
"Then this fierce guy..."
Cao Ni poked half of his head out from behind Wu Liang and asked.
"I think it must be a dummy, otherwise how could it remain motionless in this posture? Besides, some details don't look like real people."
Wu Liang said.
The expression is also very stiff. It looks like the glaring King Kong shape that is more common in the temples of the Celestial Dynasty. The eyes are wide open and the face is ferocious. He looks down from a tall posture, giving people a full sense of oppression, which makes people unconsciously feel sad.
Be in awe.
"The torn corpse..."
Cao Ni asked again.
"It should be a dummy too. Dian Wei will verify it with me first."
Wu Liang took out the Vajra Umbrella as a precaution, and carefully walked towards the Eucalyptus with Dian Wei.
In this way, he first came to the head that fell on the side of the eucalyptus. Wu Liang stretched out his diamond umbrella and gently tapped the head's face with the tip of the umbrella.
"Bang bang."
The sound that came back sounded like knocking on a piece of wood, which was enough to confirm Wu Liang's guess.
Then Wu Liang came closer, stretched out his diamond umbrella and gently poked the glaring execution giant with the tip of the umbrella.
"Bang bang."
The same sound came back.
"It is indeed a wooden man."
Bai Jingjing nodded to confirm, and then added in detail, "And the inside should be solid, so you don't have to worry about it suddenly moving like a wooden armor."
After hearing this, Wu Liang finally put aside his only concern and stepped forward to check everything on the eucalyptus.
Facts prove.
Although the stumps looked bloody and real, they were actually carved from wood and had blood stains smeared on them with red paint.
Even the mountain-breaking ax in the execution giant's hand was carved from wood.
But it’s normal to think about it. If it were a normal iron or bronze axe, it would weigh at least dozens of kilograms. The puppet’s arms would probably be difficult to support. Even if it could support it, it would be difficult for the execution giant to maintain its strength.
Balance, unable to stand firmly on the ground.
"Brother Youcai, there are a lot of stumps over there. They should all be fake, right?"
Zhuge Liang pointed further into the hall and said.
"Um……"
Wu Liang had already noticed the stumps scattered on the ground. In addition, he also noticed that there were some human-shaped things in a corner of the hall, but they were slightly farther away and only an outline could be seen.
It is also necessary to explore these things one by one.
So accompanied by Dian Wei, Wu Liang cautiously touched it again.
Soon he saw those humanoid things clearly, which were a group of people kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their backs bound by chains.
The clothes on these people are all reddish-brown. If you look closely, you will find that these clothes have no collars, or they look like round-neck tops that were often worn in later generations.
Wu Liang already understood.
These people are all "prisoners" awaiting execution.
"Xunzi Zhenglun" contains: "Kill, ocher clothes are not pure."
"Book of Han·Criminal Law" also says: "Ochre clothes block the roads and make the city a city."
"Historical Records: Biography of Uncle Tian" also records: "Only Meng Shu, Uncle Tian and other ten people took their ocher clothes from the tongs and were called slaves of the Wang family. They followed King Ao of Zhao to Chang'an."
Ocher (zhe three sounds) is reddish brown.
