Tell me about the executioner.

What does the word "executioner" do? Maybe men, women and children know that it sounds terrible. These people specialize in killing people, and a living person becomes a ghost in their hands. This is just a general statement and understanding. In fact, it is called executioner in modern language, which can also be said to be a profession, a very special profession.

The executioner is killing people, but killing people is very different from killing people. One shot is called killing, one knife is called killing, and hundreds of knives are used to cut off the victim's flesh until the last knife is used to kill him. To achieve the third level of killing, it is not a general or simple killing, but a high-tech killing level. What's more, ordinary people are bandits who are desperate to kill. No matter how bold, cruel and not afraid of ghosts, it is difficult to do this.

Strictly speaking, the executioner is also a technical job with different skills. Not only be ruthless, but also have considerable experience and technology. The executioner who can engage in difficult killing is by no means a day or two.

Let me give two examples first. First, after Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty ordered the use of the most cruel punishment for Yuan Chonghuan, the executioner put Yuan Chonghuan to death with 3543 knives. On the day of execution, the chopped meat was bitten by onlookers, and some even paid for his meat. Blood flowed from between his teeth and cheeks and was reviled. The people rushed to drive up the price of the meat peeled off Yuan Chonghuan, and they could only buy one piece for a penny. They took a bite and called "traitor". On the third day, the "big traitor" was finally killed and his internal organs were snapped up by the whole people.

Secondly, a few days ago, there was a group of pictures with text explanations on the Internet, which introduced in detail the whole process of the execution of a female prisoner in her forties and fifties in the Qing Dynasty. After "a thousand pieces", the prisoner has been cut into a skeleton, and in the end he was the first. These photos are so horrible that I dare not look at them. I don't want to create a second horror for readers, so I won't post those bloody and horrible photos here.

The cruelty of the year is to take the prisoner's life and let him die, not to let him die easily. Instead, he cut off his skin and flesh in a cruel way, making him suffer extreme pain, and making him suffer pain and humiliation bit by bit in unbearable pain until he reached the prescribed number of knives.

To achieve this goal, the executioner must have considerable "technology" and experience to get what he wants. Such an executioner should be said to be a senior executioner, or an expert of that year. They are worthy of the name among executioners. It is absolutely impossible without years of experience. Ordinary executioners can't serve this meal. Wan'er can't eat this bowl of rice. These people are also considered to be "specialized in their skills."

The executioner is included in the official salary. The monthly salary is unknown, but there is also a gray income, that is, someone gives them money behind their backs. More than 40 years ago, I was an apprentice in a factory. In a chat, my master in his fifties said that his hometown was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was a child, he had seen several prisoners sentenced to death by the government executed. At that time, prisoners in his hometown were either shot or beheaded. In order to make their relatives suffer less (because there is an example that a prisoner can't die without cutting his head with one knife), some prisoners' families gave the executioner some money in advance, telling him to do it cleanly and neatly, and strive to kill him with one knife. The master said that the executioner's skill was really high. In order to show off his skill, he deliberately wore a white silk trousers and jacket, held a knife in his backhand behind the prisoner and kicked him in the back. The prisoner's head fell to the ground and was planted in a hole dug in advance. There was not a drop of blood on his clothes. The master was still a child at that time, so I don't think there will be too much water in this statement.

Although beheading is a bit technical, it is nothing, and it is still different from the people who can do it in those years. There is a description in a net article: an authentic executioner is a master of the year, saying that cutting a catty will never be fifteen taels.

First of all, the executioner beat the prisoner's heart with his palm, then turned it skillfully with a knife, and unscrewed a piece of meat the size of a copper coin from the prisoner's right chest ... In ancient times, the cut meat was put on the table one by one, and after the execution, the prison officer went forward to count it with the criminal's family. If there was one more or one less, it was considered that the executioner had violated the law. To reach this level, it is really better than the skill of a senior meat picker.

It's too horrible, too bloody, too cruel to quote.

I wonder, how many people do I have to kill to reach the level of a year? Is there any humanity in such an executioner who kills for a living? Are you really not afraid of karma? Aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking at night Aren't you afraid of those ghosts begging for mercy? Why do these people do this cursed profession? How cruel, poisonous and cruel is the heart to be competent? What is the executioner's heart of stone made of?

It can be seen from the internet that not all these senior executioners are forced or pressured by the government, but some of them are keen on this profession, as if only by doing this business can they show their talents. This is puzzling. What's wrong with killing people? The salary is high and the treatment is extremely high. Is it good or what is the reason? Can't your talents be used in other fields?

Perhaps, they will say, the people sentenced to death by the government are all downright bad people, and you must not be soft on them. Being beheaded and killed in those days was culpable of punishment and did not deserve sympathy and pity at all. This seems impeccable at first glance, but think about it, do all the people who were killed deserve it? Does it also include good people, good people and even heroes who really resist the government? Don't say heroes like Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan, even ordinary people who were wrongly convicted and killed by the government deserve it?

According to superstition, whether these executioners died well, what hell they went to after death, and whether they were born in the afterlife, people who don't believe in these things can't tell, but what can be told is that such people are cold-blooded, heartless, heartless and have killed countless people all their lives. How can they get a good ending and good karma? Unlike Zhang Yimou's film "Red Sorghum", Xiao Er, who killed pigs and cows, was forced to skin people. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to let their children do this job. Looking at the text introducing the year-end process in Yuan Chonghuan, and looking at the whole picture of the execution of the old lady in Qing Dynasty, those executioners are so dedicated and taken for granted. I really don't know if these guys' hearts are fleshy! How should their children be educated?

It seems unfair to condemn these executioners blindly. After all, they are just people who carry out orders, which is their duty. Although the order to kill is not given by the executioner, and the executioner has no right to decide their life and death, do these people feel completely at ease when they kill a life dutifully? After all, they are the tools of the government, or rather, their accomplices. It is hard to imagine how these executioners' wives fell in love with him in the first place, and what his children think of such a father who kills people as a profession.

Although the number of employees in this small street is very small, it is estimated to be one in ten thousand, but its influence and function can not be underestimated and ignored, leaving a heavy and profound brand in history, which cannot be erased.

The word human nature seems far away from the executioner. Besides people, what is the most cruel thing in the world? !

Alas! Fortunately, history has been marching towards civilization, and beheading or year-end has been abolished and thrown into the garbage dump of history. May those be history forever.
