Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 863 I'm here to save you! !

After several days of secret preparations, it was time for the day of execution.

According to common sense, although the influence of Taifu Sect is overwhelming, people's thoughts diverge infinitely. No matter in any environment, it is inevitable that some people will question the so-called truth of the doctrine.

Therefore, public executions are not uncommon.

But this time it was really different, it was related to the death of the king, and the archbishop personally presided over the ceremony, and the whole city announced it.

It can be said that the treatment is full.

Therefore, on the day of the execution, the municipal square was already crowded with people.

A high platform built of logs in the square is covered with twigs, like a simple wooden pyramid.

The tip of the tower is a small platform on which a log stands.

The archbishop was already holding scriptures and reciting beside the high platform.

Beside him was a man in a purple robe and a square hat, the clerk of the Inquisition.

Other court officials were in the audience.

Not far away is another viewing platform, where the little king is sitting.

Zheng Hui, Lai Gou'er, and Duke Alves looked at the execution platform.

Although the principal culprit has not yet been arrested, the people can't wait to welcome this carnival...heretics will be burned at the stake.

Zheng Hui's brows gradually tightened as he looked at the ebullient people before the ceremony started.

"This foreigner is really barbaric and uneducated. Just because of different opinions, he cheered and watched people being tortured? It's really hard to understand."

"Damn the people are stupid. It's really strange that the emperor can't do anything after being fooled so far. It's better to kill them too."

Lai Gou'er glanced sideways at the little emperor who was sitting awkwardly in his original seat: "Brother Zheng, I think you are a bit extreme."

"Look at these foreigners, they don't even need their brains for the sake of the so-called gods. If the situation in the whole West is like this, then the foreigners will not be saved."

"The next time you bring troops, you should kill all these lunatics."

Zheng Hui: "???"

"Hehe, I'm just kidding." Seeing Zheng Hui's dull expression, Lai Gou'er pointed down and smiled, "Actually, they are similar to us. Brother Zheng, have you ever seen a beheaded head on the street, and some people stained their steamed buns with blood? Eating, I think, is just a different kind of ignorance."

Zheng Hui couldn't help laughing: "It's true, what's the next arrangement? You're the only one handling it this time, and I haven't asked about it."

"It's been arranged. We all lie in ambush among the crowd. As long as I give an order, the brothers will rush forward. We take advantage of the chaos and lead people back to the boat."

Zheng Hui nodded: "Okay, then you go and get the little emperor, and I'll get the duke."

Lai Gou'er said: "It's all up to Brother Zheng to arrange."

The two were having an encrypted call unscrupulously. Seeing the two talking and laughing, Duke Alves couldn't help asking: "What are you two talking about so happily?"

In the past few days, Lai Gou'er and Zheng Hui have often entered the palace to talk, and they have reached a tacit agreement on the matter of Calami.

The other party decided to return to Dajing by boat after watching the execution.

100 taels of gold, [-] missionaries, and [-] craftsmen were delivered to the other party's ship in the early morning.

A mere sailor's life was exchanged for so many resources, and everyone felt that he had made a lot of money, so Duke Alves was naturally not wary.

"I was discussing with Mr. Zheng just now, why would he be burned at the stake? Is this the same punishment here? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to just behead him?" Lai Gou'er said.

Duke Alves explained: "According to church belief, the annihilation of the body renders the executed person hopeless of resurrection from the dead. His soul, having lost the body, should wander in eternal pain. This is more than Death is a more painful punishment."

"So, the highest punishment here is burning at the stake?" Lai Gou'er asked.

Duke Alves hesitated for a moment: "Yes, this is already the highest punishment in terms of public execution. I wonder if there is a similar punishment in the East?"

Lai Gou'er smiled: "Of course there are. Our public execution is called Ling Chi. People are tied naked to a rack, tightened with a fishing net, and the exposed meat is picked off piece by piece in public until it is cut into pieces. Fragmented, breathless and dead."

"There is another special punishment for women, which is to take off their coats, tie them to a stool, pour them under boiling water, and then use a steel brush to remove the flesh and blood when the meat is half-cooked, and repeat this until the bones are visible. Just let it go, this set is called grooming. Both of these are severe punishments that I am famous for."

The little king listened intently, his cheeks were already pale and his whole body was trembling.

horrible!brutal!

Orientals are so cruel...

As for Duke Alves, he was not much better. He swallowed hard, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "What crime did you commit to be punished like this?"

"Usually speaking, it's a crime of treason, which is treated only when you disturb the emperor. In other words, you would treat it as a crime of blasphemy. Of course, my Majesty is a benevolent king. I have never heard of using this penalty."

Duke Alves nodded, with a hint of envy in his expression.

This is the real emperor, the real Supreme!

It's not like this place is under the control of the church... It's fine if you don't give the Pope a kowtow.

After a while, the big bell in the church next to the municipal square rang.

A prisoner wearing a prison uniform and covering his head was escorted from the street by soldiers.

Go directly to the high platform and tie it to the wooden frame.

The hood lifted.

Noon's eyes shot into Calami's eyes, and he opened his already red and swollen eyes for a while.

Breathing rapidly, he looked around.

With a glance, he quickly locked on Zheng Hui and Lai Gou'er.

My heart was suddenly pleasantly surprised!

Hope, this is his only hope!

In the past few days, he has suffered both mentally and physically in the cell, and the only thing that keeps him going is a belief.

Lord Zheng will come to rescue him, Dajing's navy has always been extremely united, and he is one of them!

Now that he saw Zheng Hui, Calami looked at him with a crying voice and shouted: "Master Zheng, save me!!!"

Zheng Hui's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Kalemie and yelled angrily, "I'm here to save you! Put on a good show, don't reveal your secrets, if you kill a brother because of your stupidity, I will burn you again on the boat!"

Duke Alves looked sideways at Lai Gouer.

Lai Gou'er said: "Master Zheng is telling him that you should be loyal to the emperor and serve the teachings if you were born in Feika, and now you should be executed for violating the teachings, and you are not qualified to be with us anymore, let alone one of us."

But at this moment, Kalumi cursed loudly: "Oriental dog, you don't pay attention to credibility! I will work hard for you, I curse you..."

Duke Alves understood these words, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

In a hurry, he is in a hurry!Swearing began to use the mother tongue!

"The ceremony is about to begin. Through the archbishop's prayer, I wish you two a smooth return home in advance."
