Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

Although Mu Yingbao knew some ancient customs, such as the beheading at the Meridian Gate, there was a story behind it.

In the past, no matter it was movies, TV series or novels, they all said that the execution would start at 3:15 pm. Then why was there a set time for beheading the first criminal? Legend has it that the execution would start at 3:15 pm, when the Yang energy was at its peak and the Yin energy would dissipate immediately. The criminals who were beheaded for their heinous crimes would not even have a chance to become ghosts.

If you do all kinds of bad things while you are alive, and become a ghost after you die, it will definitely be an evil ghost. Of course, this is not allowed.

Then why could Zhou Zhian be executed in the morning? Could it be that Brother Hui was so eager to kill him to avenge his family?

No, after Mu Yingbao and she had enjoyed themselves the night before, she asked this question in a very disappointing way. Xue Wenyu told her that the Meridian Gate in the imperial city had the strongest yang energy, and the emperor was the supreme ruler, so if the emperor ordered someone to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, no ghost could do it.

Old Man Fan, Luo Yi and Shang Xiaohu went to the dungeon of the Dali Temple to escort the person away in person. Mu Yingbao and the others just had to wait at the Meridian Gate.

As they walked, Mu Yingbao was troubled by a question. In her mind, the Meridian Gate was a place for executions, and it should be a very scary place. So how could it be so close to the palace? They didn't even need a carriage, but took a sedan chair directly?

The eunuchs and palace maids who were cleaning along the way all had different expressions. Mu Yingbao felt that it must be related to the execution of Zhou Zhian. However, when he looked closely, the expressions on their faces did not show the sadness of a former master being executed.

It seems that there is more of a sense of tension, and the rest is just cautiousness.

Mu Yingbao even wanted to stop the sedan chair and go down to comfort them. Why were they so nervous? Zhou Zhian's family didn't even sentence them to death, so why would they embarrass people like them who worked at the bottom of society?

After thinking about it, Mu Yingbao gave up the idea. There was no need to comfort them at all. After the execution of Zhou Zhian, they would be able to completely relax in a few days.

"Xue Wenyu?" Mu Yingbao turned his head and asked softly to the person sitting next to him.

"Half time?" Xue Wenyu had been paying attention to her for quite some time. He was really confused. Was she so excited because of Brother Hui's revenge for killing her relatives? Or was she excited because she had never seen the execution of the old emperor?

"I've always heard of the Wumen Gate. Where exactly is it?" Mu Yingbao asked in a low voice. She couldn't help but be curious.

"I took you there. The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the imperial city. Didn't I tell you that not everyone can go there? There are five doorways, and only the emperor can go through the middle one. The empress can go through it once when she enters the imperial city."

Before Xue Wenyu could finish, he was interrupted by Mu Yingbao, "I remember, I remember, you said that the top three in the palace examination every year, the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 2, can also take a walk when they leave the palace.

Officials can walk through the doorways on both sides. I remember that, but you didn't tell me at the time that the beheading was also there."

"Wrong, it's the top three," Xue Wenyu corrected. Mu Yingbao waved his hand impatiently. Who would care about the top three? Who was in front and who was behind? Who arranged it? His tone couldn't help but get a little high. "Such an important position is used to chop off the heads of prisoners? Who decided that? Are you crazy?"

When Xue Wenyu heard this, it was too late to cover her mouth. Forget it, the followers were all his own people, even if the nearby Jinyiwei or eunuchs heard it, it would not be a big deal.

At most, it means that this lady is just making a fuss out of nothing.

At the same time, Mu Yingbao himself felt that what he had just said was too exaggerated, and hurriedly lowered his voice again: "It's so bloody, so horrible."

Xue Wenyu looked at her and didn't feel ashamed at all for marrying such a person who didn't know many things she should know. Instead, he thought she was very cute.

"Since ancient times, the construction of the imperial city has been very particular. The place where the emperor holds court and the sleeping palace are all designed according to Feng Shui. The main gate of the imperial city is the place with the heaviest yang energy, which is the most suitable place to execute serious criminals.

After the criminals are executed, someone will immediately clean up the mess. "Xue Wenyu explained patiently.

After explaining it, the person next to him frowned even more.

"I remember that the opera also sang about pushing the criminals to Caishikou to be beheaded? Could it be that the wanted criminals in the imperial city were beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and then somewhere else, since there was no Meridian Gate, so they were beheaded at Caishikou?" Mu Yingbao felt that the thinking of people in power in ancient times was very different from that of modern people.

In the past, when death row prisoners were executed in modern times, they were dragged to the ravine and shot. It was nothing like the perverted way it was in ancient times. Even if it was not done at the Meridian Gate, the Caishikou was a bustling place with people coming and going as vegetable vendors.

Executing criminals in such a place is simply killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, which will have a deterrent effect on the people.

Look, don't commit crimes. If you get caught committing crimes, you'll lose your head!

Xue Wenyu was very puzzled as to why his sister-in-law was so entangled on this issue.

Just as he was about to ask her, the sedan stopped and Lin Chuan, who was accompanying her, reported in.

Xue Wenyu got off the sedan chair, turned around and stretched out his hand naturally, watching Mu Yingbao holding his arm to get out of the sedan chair, then he led her to follow Brother Hui in front and went up to a built platform together.

This was similar to the scene seen on TV. Mu Yingbao looked around. Even at this early hour, there were still a lot of people coming to watch. It couldn't be said to be a sea of ​​people, but it looked like a sea of ​​black.

"What's wrong?" Xue Wenyu saw the playful woman frowning again, thinking that she had discovered something inappropriate, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"This is not a shadow play, but a beheading. She even came here with her child in her arms. How can a mother behave like this?" Mu Yingbao found it unbelievable.

If you see someone getting beheaded, if you don't have a strong character, you will have nightmares for several days when you go back, let alone a child of a few years old.

The onlookers were about two hundred meters away from the stands, and the city soldiers formed a human wall to isolate them from the outside.

Mu Yingbao just complained casually, but Xue Wenyu followed her gaze and saw a woman holding a child of five or six years old in her arms.

Xue Wenyu winked at his men beside him, and Lin Chuan stepped forward immediately, listening to his master's low voice.

"What? Is it really inappropriate? Why not arrest him first? What if he is really stupid and brings his child to watch the fun? Don't kill an innocent person by mistake." Mu Yingbao watched the conversation between Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan and reminded them in a low voice.

As he said this, his eyes followed Lin Chuan and the others. Suddenly, Mu Yingbao tugged at Xue Wenyu's sleeve and said, "Something is wrong. Look, she is actually backing away while holding the child."

- If you really look at the hot gate, it's easy for the good things to take the front position, and then you see someone heading towards

Xue Wenyu winked at his men beside him, and Lin Chuan stepped forward immediately, listening to his master's low voice.

"What? Is it really inappropriate? Why not arrest him first? What if he is really stupid and brings his child to watch the fun? Don't kill an innocent person by mistake." Mu Yingbao watched the conversation between Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan and reminded them in a low voice.

As he said this, his eyes followed Lin Chuan and the others. Suddenly, Mu Yingbao tugged at Xue Wenyu's sleeve and said, "Something is wrong. Look, she is actually backing away while holding the child."

If you really want to watch the fun, why do you retreat into the crowd when you see someone walking over there after finally getting a front row seat?

"Could it be that a robbery will really happen today?" Mu Yingbao said this, looking at Brother Hui with concern...
