Speaking of torture in China, in one of the more brutal forms, the prisoners' flesh was cut off one by one by the executioner, and it was cut to pieces, but it never hurt the fatal place until the prisoners swallowed their last breath. In the history of China, two court officials were tortured by this kind of torture and chopped to pieces. During the execution, people next to them scrambled to eat their meat. Unfortunately, they are not all evil people. One is a traitor and the other is a hero.

First of all, let's talk about the cut traitor, the great eunuch in Zheng De's period of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jin, who was under tens of thousands of people. To say this treacherous court official, it is almost all kinds of evil deeds, playing politics, cronyism, abolishing the platform, framing loyal ministers and so on. Many loyal officials of the imperial court, persecuted by Liu Jin, had no choice but to retreat to other places. Not only framed officials, Liu Jin persecuted the people, aggravated the exploitation of the people, and brought infinite harm to the country and the people. Fortunately, Zhang Yong appeared soon, exposing Liu Jin's major crimes to Wu Zong, and found millions of gold and silver jewelry in Liu Jin's home, as well as contraband such as fake seals and jade belts, and two daggers in Liu Jin's fan. All kinds of facts convinced Wu Zong of Liu Jin's rebellion and sentenced him to one year's imprisonment. In August of the same year, the traitor was executed by Ling Chi. It is said that the executioner cut more than 7,000 knives at that time, and Liu Jincai died three days later, ending his vicious life. The small pieces of meat cut are all bought by people who have been harmed by Liu Jin at the price of a penny and a piece of meat.

Let's talk about slashing heroes first. He tried his best to protect the people from foreign aggression and devoted himself to the benefit of the country. In the end, he was slandered and sentenced to death for three thousand dollars. He is a national hero, and his name is Yuan Chonghuan. After passing the imperial examination, he started his official career, resigned and went home, but then returned to the imperial court. He put forward a five-year plan to improve the environment in Liaodong. He was brave and good at fighting, and was injured by treacherous court officials several times, slandering that Yuan Chonghuan had been secretly loyal to the late Jin Dynasty. After a fall, the hero was captured by Chongzhen and sentenced to death for treason. In the public's impression, Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor who lures nomads from all walks of life to attack Beijing, but he is actually a hero who is both civil and military and loyal to his country. At that time, when Yuan Chonghuan was in the middle of the year, people were furious, and many people rushed to take money to buy his meat. Yuan Chonghuan was chopped more than 3,000 knives, but he never uttered a cry, only a sigh-like sound between his heart and lungs, probably because a patriot sighed when he saw that his motherland was controlled by ignorant people and his fate was about to be destroyed after the Qing Dynasty.

The year-end process makes people feel terrible when they think about it. They also resent Liu Jin's evil deeds and feel sorry for what happened to Yuan Chonghuan. I also hope that history will not repeat itself, let the law bring every bad person to justice, but don't kill any patriotic good person by mistake.
