Is the death penalty the cruellest punishment for a person? No, it is the most torturous to let a person die a painful death, and when it comes to torture, it is necessary to mention Ling Chi, one of the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing.
The so-called Ling Chi, that is, the real sense of a thousand knives, and in history, it was punished by Ling Chi, there were eunuchs Liu Jin, and Zheng Man of the Hanlin Temple, and this last person was Kang Xiaoba, who is said to be because of flirting with Cixi, is this kind of thing that moved the earth on the head of the "Tai Nian Ye", is it real?
Malignancy is difficult to tame
This Kang Xiaoba has been mixed in the Beijing Kangying, everyone will introduce his name as Kang Bataiye, but when he is behind his back, everyone tacitly calls him Wu Bald, which sounds like there is a lot of prejudice against him, but this is really no wonder the local people, Kang Xiaoba's reputation in the local area is indeed bad.
Kang Xiaoba's original surname was Wu, but the family conditions were not good, the only fortunate thing was that he was a boy, and later he was favored by a Kang family at that time, and his parents passed him on to the Kang family, so there was such a name of Kang Xiaoba.
Parents originally thought that their children could at least have no worries about food and clothing in the past, and they could have some hope in the future, but they did not want Kang Xiaoba to have a much better life, but his character and morality were completely crooked, and with the name of the Kang family, he was the most amazing look in the whole world.
When he was a child, he did not learn well, and when he grew up, he could not go on the right path, Kang Xiaoba himself did not have any ability, even if the family had some money, but he would not raise him for a lifetime, he would lead those small donkeys all day to give others camel goods, for a long time, the Kang family did not want the child to do nothing for a lifetime, so he thought of taking Kang Xiaoba to do business outside, and gave him a gun to defend himself, a plan can be described as benevolence and righteousness.
But Kang Xiaoba did not think so, for Kang Lao ye also did not have any feelings, now that he has a gun, he has heard of the power of the gun, he is suddenly a little foolish, in the process of traveling with Kang Laoye, looking at this "thick and honest" but has so much wealth of Kang Laoye, Kang Xiaoba moved the heart of a thief.
When Old Master Kang was not paying attention, Kang Xiaoba picked up the pistol and directly killed Old Master Kang, and then plundered all of Old Master Kang's wealth.
After the killing, Kang Xiaoba naturally boarded the reward order of the local yamen, and for a time they all praised the news that Kang Xiaoba was ungrateful, and those who had been bullied and oppressed by Kang Xiaoba in the past were even more indignant at this moment. After killing people, Kang Xiaoba also knew that the lively places might not be able to go, so he began his wandering life.
Horse hoof loss in front
During this wandering period, Kang Xiaoba did not have the slightest regret, but felt that such money came quickly and a lot, when he had money, he would go around and rob the road without money, and his behavior was very bad, and it was not long before Kang Xiaoba's notoriety spread far away.
After doing the things of killing people outside for a long time, gradually he no longer felt that killing Old Master Kang was a big thing, and slowly, Kang Xiaoba had the plan to return to his hometown.
Later, after passing a barber shop, Kang Xiaoba walked in, planning to tidy up himself, but he was dead, and the guys in the shop began to talk about Kang Xiaoba's evil deeds in recent years, because everyone had never seen Kang Xiaoba, nor did they notice that the guest who had just come in had changed his face.
There was a discussion there with great interest, Xiao Er's hand did not stop, and when he finished the haircut and wanted to find a guest to pay the bill, he found that the guest smiled compassionately and said, "Then have you seen Kang Xiaoba?" ”
Xiao Er felt the danger, but he didn't know where this danger came from, he could only shake his head blankly, and Kang Xiaoba also expected this result, and then added", "I am Kang Xiaoba", after saying that, before giving Xiao Er time to react, he quickly killed him.
This time, the crime of the top wind completely annoyed the imperial court, and at that time, the order to die must be caught by this gangster, and Kang Xiaoba did not know about it, but instead set up a wind reception banquet in Tianjin Wei and let those underworld bigwigs come to pick up the wind for himself.
At the reception banquet, it was time to praise each other, and it was also at this time that Kang Xiaoba suddenly found that he did not seem to have any "merits" that were worth showing off, and immediately became a little silent, and later because of the encouragement of several people in the same way, Kang Xiaoba planned to rob the official silver.
But guan yin is so easy to grab, and the person who bet on the dart this time is still the famous master Shang Yunxiang in the martial arts world, Kang Xiaoba did not rob the silver, not to mention, but also provoked a well-known big man.
Later, a Yang surnamed Catcher learned of his tracks by coincidence, and because he and he just happened to have a cousin relationship, he pretended to meet him by chance, and then accidentally lost his mouth to tell him that Kang Xiaoba's mother was seriously ill.
Although Kang Xiaoba did not take the lives of others seriously, but this was his own close relative, it was impossible to ignore it, and he did not think much about it and followed this cousin back to his hometown, and Shang Yunxiang hid in the only way for him to go home, and it did not take much effort to capture it.
Be bold
Kang Xiaoba actually did not have any martial arts, but he was more ruthless and cunning than ordinary people, and if he met Shang Yunxiang head-on, it was basically a beating, and in this way, Shang Yunxiang was imprisoned.
It was also during this period that Kang Xiaoba's experience was told to Cixi by the little eunuch as a story, and in order for the story to be better, the little eunuch naturally could only beautify Kang Xiaoba's abnormalities more wonderfully, and even in appearance, it was also narrated according to the appearance of those talents.
In fact, this is nothing, anyway, it is hearsay, some changes in the middle of the taste is also very normal, but the accident is unexpected, the perennial single Cixi was tickled by the tyrant Kang Xiaoba in this story, thinking of idleness, he said to bring Kang Xiaoba up to see if it is as good as the rumors say.
With such expectations, Cixi saw the short, black and ugly Body of Kang Xiaoba, and the expectation collapsed in that instant.
And Kang Xiaoba heard the news that Kangxi was interested in himself, and with a contemptuous attitude toward women, he felt that he was becoming more and more "overbearing", perhaps this Cixi was more and more obsessed with himself, just when Cixi was accusing Kang Xiaoba at the moment, what should not be done to lose his conscience, Kang Xiaoba's head twitched, and he threatened to reply, "What is wrong, I not only want to do, I still want to sleep with you." ”
Where did the lofty Cixi suffer such "insults", and Kangxi Xiaoba's appearance was not very good-looking, and he immediately became angry and wanted to drag Kang Xiaoba down to execute Ling Chi.
epilogue
In fact, at this time, there was no longer The punishment of Ling Chi, because as early as 1905, the Guangxu Emperor changed it to beheading in order to show respect for human rights, but he could not resist Kang Xiao's eight-mouth cannon to find death, and he became the last person to be executed by Ling Chi by himself.
And this time, Kang Xiaoba was cut more than 3,000 knives, which lasted for three whole days before he died, and it is worth saying that during this period, Kang Xiaoba did not say a word, and won the admiration of all the with a death.
