Wang Jie committed a crime and killed someone. It is unacceptable to be punished by heaven and he deserves what he deserves.
Everything is normal. Although Wang Wei is very popular with his brother Wang Jie, in today's society where the country is governed by law, anyone who kills is a capital offense, so there is nothing to say.
That morning, the city of Taiji County suddenly erupted into a frightening sound of trumpets and thunderous killing sounds.
The common people spontaneously set off ten bangs and fireworks on the street early in the morning. They lasted for a full hour at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. It is not known whether it was the common people who paid for it to celebrate that the murderer paid his life, drug dealers deserved to die, or someone paid for it behind the scenes.
Formation and momentum.
When the Yamen opened, a team of criminal policemen escorted eleven tied-up death row criminals out of the car. Many people rushed towards them like a flood. It was Sunday, the peak time for farmers from four villages to enter the city. Wherever the team went, passers-by gave way.
Those who could not hide were trampled to the ground...
The team paraded through several streets in the county town, showing off their power and shouting with loudspeakers, then passed the Yushui Bridge and headed towards the countryside three miles away. Along the way, some children going to the market craned their necks to watch the fun!
Jiajiapo is the most desolate place in the western suburbs. It is overgrown with weeds and strange birds. There is only a solitary old wooden house for several miles around - this is where the name Jiajiapo comes from.
The motorcade left the county town, and each of the eleven death row criminals was held by two strong policemen. The police car opened the road in front, shouting and pressing their heads along the way. Wang Wei saw that his younger brother Wang Jie was frightened by this formation.
.
My younger brother is a well-known talent from the Provincial Art School, and he is very good at talking about art and women. How could he have seen such a situation?
He looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Where's my brother, won't he take me to the execution ground today?"
"Go your way and don't ask so many nonsense questions!" the policeman holding his head said loudly.
Wang Wei was right behind his younger brother Wang Jie, sitting on the seats on both sides of the car, with his head slightly lowered. From the corner of his eyes, he could only see the heels of the new shoes he was wearing. Wang Wei never looked up from the top.
Look, that thing that kills people and drinks blood is held in his arms. Amidst the terrifying horns and sirens, Wang Wei didn't dare to think too much. He only felt that the rifle on his back weighed a thousand kilograms.
Although the crowd was noisy and the personnel were chaotic, he still heard every word Wang Wei's brother said, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. In that situation, Wang Wei could not say anything, let alone pick up on his brother's words.
, could only lower his head and keep silent, pretending that he heard nothing and knew nothing, as if he had never been his compatriot or brother.
However, the more this happened, the more Wang Wei suppressed himself. The new set of black clothes and a pair of new shoes (travel shoes) on his younger brother were given to him by Wang Wei the day before yesterday. At that time, his adoptive father fainted from crying. His younger brother is an artist, and the family before
It is not easy for him to attend a provincial art school, so whenever possible he will always dress up like a rich second generation!
Therefore, he suddenly committed a crime and committed a murder. In addition to being shocked and helpless, Wang Wei specially bought him a pair of beautiful travel shoes imported from the United States during the last journey. He just treated him as his brother sending him to travel! After leaving Yushui Bridge, the speed was faster, no
After a while, a family slope appeared in front of them.
When we arrived at the execution ground, there was a pedestrian bridge to the southwest of this lawn.
This bridge was built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is composed of four pieces of bluestone and is arched in shape. The span is less than three feet. An adult man can jump across it without any effort. Master Wang Wei once told him that in the past, people in the Yamen were killed, and the people in the city were
The government official is about to die
The prisoners were sent to the east of the bridge, and then there were executioners on the west of the bridge to meet them - to put it more clearly, this bridge was for death row criminals to cross. Over time, this bridge became the "Bridge of Life and Death" between Yin and Yang, and ordinary people
It is taboo to walk across the bridge.
However, this method was abandoned after liberation. Nowadays, the methods of killing have been modernized and there are not so many details.
The convoy drove directly over the bridge next to it, escorting the condemned criminals and the police to stop by the bridge. At the same time, the execution officer of the court, the leaders of the court, the public security bureau and the county leaders who came to watch arrived, and Wu Yangwu
Foreign people also flocked in, and the sound of trumpets and sirens stopped abruptly.
Wang Wei jumped out of the car and glanced at his younger brother Wang Jie. Wang Jie also saw him and said, "Brother——!" He was immediately stopped severely by several police colleagues next to him.
Wang Wei picked up a gun and quickly headed towards an isolated house on the slope with his master and others.
Since the beginning of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, this place has been used by the government as a place to execute prisoners. The solitary room was actually a place for executioners and other related personnel to rest and drink water.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Wei sat in the brigade car with his gloomy face, bowed and silent. After the eleven death row criminals were taken to Jiapo, they were lined up in a row without any delay or room for negotiation. They followed the instructions one by one.
Planned procedures, strict schedule, new dean,
Surrounded by his entourage, the director stood on a high place and read out the death sentence charges. Wang Wei and the other three executioners (including their master, although the master's marksmanship has become very problematic in recent years, his hands are always shaking due to procrastination).
(Cannot kill with one shot) Enter the lone house to prepare.
The lone house was in disrepair and was almost in decay. There was a broken table in the house specifically for forensic technicians to place their tools. There were also dustpans, hoes, shovels and lime jars, which were all rotten.
They were in disgraceful appearance and would break when touched. They were piled up in the corner of the room. As for who put them here and what their use was, it was impossible to find out.
Some people estimate that maybe it was left behind by the executioners of the Qing Dynasty back then. Once there was a dead criminal with no one to collect his body, the official would use these tools to dig holes and bury them? It is unknown!
And that lime might be used to disinfect human blood?
Suddenly three commands came from the execution ground, indicating that the stipulated time had come. Wang Wei and the three executioners checked the guns, loaded the ammunition, and walked out of the lone room, standing behind the four death row criminals on the left. The criminal police and the death row criminals
Three against one, when they saw that they were in place, the one behind them stepped away and took a few steps back. The other two policemen were facing outwards, but their hands were pressing tightly so that they could not move. They could only eat and drink.
.
The strange thing is that at that moment, Wang Wei forgot the existence of his younger brother!
In fact, at that time, Wang Wei's brother was kneeling not far away from them like the people who were about to go on the road, three against one, preventing him from moving. Many people immediately took a few steps back. Master Lao Wang, Wang Wei and the other two
Then he aimed his gun at the back of the head of the first wave of death row criminals, which is also the area that people often say is against their bones.
Don't be distracted when killing people, otherwise it would be a shame and a joke if you can't kill them with one shot. The dead criminals are still suffering. It's really unbearable to see them struggling to death. Then the execution place was surrounded by people watching the excitement and the officers on duty were suddenly silent and calm. Wang
However, Weihe and the three executioners were full of energy, raising their guns and preparing to kill——
After all the procedures were completed, the new dean shouted "Prepare, execute!"
As soon as the small flag on the executive officer's hand fell——
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In fact, it was just a sound. In an instant, there was only a flash of fire, a human head bloomed, a strong stream of blood spurted out from behind the skull and neck, the corpse fell to the ground, the grass was soaked, and a fragrant smell of blood immediately filled the air...
...Eleven death row criminals, four executioners, it takes three rounds to complete the execution.
After the first wave of executions, some family members of the condemned criminals suddenly couldn't help but cry out in pain from the crowd. Someone immediately stepped forward to stop them. Wang Wei and the master and the others quickly moved a few steps to the right, each with their own skills.
The ground-breaking bullets were loaded and aimed at the backs of the second wave of condemned criminals. The only thing that made Wang Wei feel particularly abnormal was when his younger brother was shot after the public trial. There were originally four executioners for the leaders to consider and choose. Why did they end up
But would you ask him to kill his own brother with his own hands?
"The shooting of my brother can be carried out by other colleagues. Why do you have to ask me to kill my biological brother with my own hands?" Wang Wei's cold heart and cold eyes.
I really couldn’t understand this truth. But at that time, when I faced the reality and had already gone to the execution ground, Wang Wei had never experienced this before and was under great pressure. The criminals just knelt in front of the pit one by one, tied up, and they had all been put into cars and paraded through the streets. Wang Wei
He was in the car behind, holding a gun, and after finally arriving at the scene to verify his identity, Wang Wei was not behind his younger brother Wang Jie, but was standing behind another death row prisoner!
The leader suddenly ordered Wang Wei to change his position - to shoot Wang Jie!
Everything is so sudden and unchangeable!
"Why me?"
These words were not asked out loud, but they flashed through my mind like a thunderbolt. When he saw the deputy director trotting up to Wang Wei and asking him to change positions, Wang Wei was stunned. He walked out completely subconsciously.
, the inner pressure was really too great after that...
At that time, Wang Wei did not intentionally avoid his brother Wang Jie. Perhaps it was due to fate. Instead, according to the order of their respective positions, the person in front of him in the second wave was a die-hard drug dealer.
At this moment, the dean shouted Wang Wei's name: "Wang Wei!"
"arrive!"
At that time, everything about Wang Wei was almost as decisive and quick as a conditioned reflex. A certain chord in his brain immediately answered when the leader called his name!
The deputy director trotted up behind Wang Wei and conveyed the order sympathetically but resolutely: "You will shoot Wang Jie! Change positions immediately!"
Only then did Wang Wei notice that the bald head under the muzzle of Master Lao Wang was the familiar person he had not seen for a long, long time.
"Why me?!" Wang Wei yelled loudly in his heart.
This truth is really unfathomable. But at that time, facing the reality and having already gone to the execution ground, Wang Wei was also under great pressure. The prisoners just knelt in front of the pit one by one, tied up, and they had been put into cars and paraded through the streets. Wang Wei just
In the car behind, holding a gun, he finally arrived at the scene to identify himself and shot the first wave of criminals. The leader suddenly ordered Wang Wei to change his position and execute - shoot Wang Jie!
Everything is so sudden and unchangeable!
The master took a few steps back, glanced at Wang Wei with a cold face, moved his position, and walked to Wang Wei's side. That look seemed to say, "Go ahead." He was ruthless, but his eyes were full of tears.
Wang Wei withdrew his gun and stayed for a moment, feeling a little panicked. Subconsciously he changed positions with his master and walked behind his younger brother. It wasn't that Wang Wei didn't want to kill anyone, let alone his own brother. He said, "No matter who it is,
Murder is against the law, he is the one who will die under my gun, and I am just ordered to perform the duties of an executioner! This is the legal license given to me by the law!"
But thinking that way, when it came to this point, Wang Wei, a special soldier who had seen too much life and death, couldn't help but feel a sudden tightening in his heart, and suddenly felt that his whole body was shaking and weak...
"Wang Wei! It's up to you now. If you have good means, use them well!"
The master called Wang Wei's name in a low and meaningful voice that only Wang Wei beside him could hear. It was like his soul was being shouted out, and his legs began to tremble.
