Chapter 206 Jamsil
In a dark cell in the Tingwei Prison, the master was sitting on the wet ground in a ragged prison, with a disheveled head and a dizzy face. His eyes stared at the prison door in front of him without moving, as if he had lost his life.
"Dada~"
I don’t know how long it took, but a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the prison. Then several eunuchs dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing brocade belts walked slowly into the prison under the guidance of the prison officers and walked straight to the cell where the master Yan was.
The leading eunuch in black walked to the cell where the master Yan was. He looked at the jail falling to the ground and seemed to be stupid. He couldn't help frowning. Then, he suddenly said to the prison guard beside him coldly: "Open the prison door!"
"Here!" After hearing the order, the prison officer quickly took off a string of copper keys from his waist, then stepped forward quickly, opened the copper lock in front of the prison door, and took off the iron chain connected to the copper lock.
Finally, he reached out and opened the prison door, bent down to the eunuchs in front of him, respectfully made a "please" gesture, and said, "A few angels, the prisoner's Lord Father Yan is here, please come in!"
The eunuch nodded slightly, walked into the prison cell, and came to the front of Master Yan step by step. He stared at him for nearly half a minute before clearing his throat and spoke loudly: "The emperor has an imperial edict: Master Yan will die by castration instead of death, and immediately take him to the silkworm room for execution!"
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the Lord Yan, who had been petrified, suddenly shook his body and raised his head suddenly. His eyes burst out with an astonishing light, and he said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, do you really agree?"
The eunuch looked at Master Yan coldly and snorted: "Your fortune is good. If General Guard pleads for you, otherwise even if you have nine lives, you will not be able to escape death today!"
"General Wei..." A complex look flashed in Master Yan's eyes, but his eyes soon dimmed again, and the head that had just been raised also hangs down...
Seeing that Master Yan was so decadent, the eunuch was too lazy to continue to say anything to him. He turned around and ordered to his left and right, "Take him back to the palace!"
"Here!" After hearing this, the two strong eunuchs beside him hurriedly stepped forward, one left and one right to stoop the master's father, dragged him behind the eunuchs in black, and walked out of the cell.
.....
There is a department in Weiyang Palace that is specifically responsible for managing the errands in the palace, called the Eunuchs Office. This department has one order, two chief ministers, and more than ten assistant officials. It is a very large and complex organization. It not only includes eunuchs such as central officials, eunuchs, etc., but also manages a very large number of powerful servants.
In general, eunuchs include eunuchs, but in fact they are not all eunuchs. There are also many normal men and emperor close ministers. Many names such as eunuchs and middle-aged officials refer to the group of eunuchs.
Since the technology of castration in this era is not as mature as that of later generations, the inmates not only have to suffer huge pain, but also have a very high mortality rate.
In order to increase the chance of survival of the person being punished, the eunuchs' office placed the castration and punishment in the silkworm room. The reason for this is that raising silkworms requires a relatively constant temperature environment, so braziers and other items are generally equipped in the silkworm room.
Because the silkworm chamber is relatively warm and the indoor sealing conditions are relatively good, if the castration-inducing person is thrown into the silkworm chamber, it can prevent wind from being in it to a certain extent and increase the possibility of survival.
After getting off the prison cart near the Beique of Weiyang Palace, Master Yan had just walked a few steps and fell to the ground because of his lack of energy. However, despite this, the eunuchs responsible for escorting him did not show any sympathy.
They both grabbed the arm of the Lord Father Yan without hesitation and dragged the Lord Father Yan to the direction where the silkworm chamber was.
The Shaofu offices near the Beique in Weiyang Palace gathered in various places, and the surroundings were all the assistant officials of the Shaofu and other low-level minor officials. When these people recognized the Master Yan, they couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Look, isn't that the lord father? Where is he going to be taken?"
"What kind of master? Is he a prisoner also avenged a reward? Just call him his name directly, isn't he the Lord's Father Yan!"
"Oh, a few months ago, this Lord's Father Yan was still calling the wind and rain in Weiyang Palace. He was so majestic. Unexpectedly, he became like this after a disaster. It's a pity, a pity!"
"Who made him so arrogant before? Even the kings dared to blackmail him, and even the dignified King Qi dared to force him to death. It was his own fault to fall into this field, and he could not blame others!"
...
The master Yan, who was dragged by the eunuchs, was so ashamed and angry that he could kill him immediately after hearing the discussions of the stingers around him.
Looking back at the time when he was in power, he always kept his head tilted when he walked. None of these minor officials were respectful when they saw him... But now, these people are standing on the side of the road so unscrupulously, commenting on him wantonly, as if they regard him as a livestock in the market...
Faced with such a dilemma, Master Yan could only endure the grief and anger in his heart, close his eyes, clattered his teeth as if he was exhausted and unconscious.
After nearly ten minutes of long dragging, Master Yan was finally dragged to the torture room next to the silkworm chamber and was rudely thrown onto a wooden board by the eunuch.
The house of the torture room was cold and humid, filled with a disgusting and pungent smell. The wooden board was very narrow, only enough for one person to lie down. The master Yan was just on the wooden board, staring at the roof with his eyes blankly, allowing the few people around him to fiddle with.
Soon, he was tied firmly to the wooden board with a hemp rope as thick as his fingers and could not move. Then, he saw a Bai Wuwei old man holding a sharp knife and walking towards him with a smile.
The old man came to the Lord's Father Yan and looked at him carefully. After a long time, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "You are over 50 years old and half of your body are buried in the soil. Why should you suffer such pain? What's more, now in the cold season, you are just your body. Even if you are punished, it will be difficult to survive! Listen to my advice, stop making trouble and accept your fate!"
Hearing the old man's words, Master Yan Sui had a little reaction. He stared at the old man with a very firm look and said hoarsely: "I can't die yet!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head again, and turned to the eunuch responsible for the punishment at the door and said, "Angel, this person is so weak, I'm afraid he will die before he has been sentenced to death... Can't you really wait for a few more days?"
