Zhao Jia was an executioner, the executioner of the Beijing Ministry of Punishment and the executioner of the highest judicial organ in the Qing Dynasty.
Zhao Jia has killed countless people in his life. He is very skillful and creative and inventive in killing people. He is an expert in killing people and the "number one" among executioners.
This "champion" was sealed by Empress Dowager Cixi. He was also received by the emperor and the empress dowager, just like the top scholars in previous dynasties. Empress Dowager Cixi gave him a string of ebony beads, and Emperor Guangxu gave him a dragon chair. This supreme honor is unique not only to executioners in past dynasties, but also to government officials who have made outstanding contributions. Zhao Jia took the hangman's business to the extreme.
The first big scene that Zhao Jia experienced was in the palace, where he executed a little eunuch who sold the emperor's shotgun for Emperor Xianfeng. At that time, he was not the boss of the executioner of punishments, but he was already the most proud apprentice of his master "Grandma Yu". He took Grandma Yu's mentoring into the palace, using the torture device "Wang Yansuo" designed by Grandma Yu. After more than an hour, the little eunuch was tortured to death. The appearance of civil and military ministers, harem concubines, palace ladies and a group of eunuchs is shocking and frightening.
Zhao Jia also took part in the halved. The beheaded man was Kuding, a treasurer. Kuding stole the money from the vault into his anus many times, and was caught red-handed for being too greedy for the last time.
Grandma Yu made a mistake when she was beheaded for the first time. Zhao Jiaqing was in the emergency room, and Kuding was cut in two with a big knife. Kuding was bleeding like a river, his intestines were all over the floor, and his upper body stood up with his hands. Then he waved his arms and screamed for a pack of cigarettes before he gradually died. This bloody and horrible scene made the four executioners silly, and all the people watching the scene were frightened, and countless people were shocked on the spot. I can't take it anymore.
When Zhao Jia was a teenager, he was alone and found his uncle under the guidance of his mother's ghost. He doesn't even remember his uncle's appearance, because when he saw his uncle, it was the moment when his uncle was beheaded, and he witnessed the whole process of the executioner beheading the prisoner. It was also because of this opportunity that Grandma Yu, the leader of the executioner at that time and his uncle's good friend before his death, was accepted as an apprentice and became the executioner of punishments.
Zhao Jia's understanding of the executioner profession represents the supreme law of the Great Qing Dynasty. When the executioner is on duty, he is no longer himself, but a god who takes the lives of others instead of Qing, and is the sword of the country.
In fact, some people don't have the crime of death at all. Even if there is the crime of death, there is no reason to be tortured to death without humanity. The executioner is nothing more than some powerful people, venting their anger for themselves and scaring others.
During the Guangxu period, the reform failed, Kang and Liang fled, and the six gentlemen of the Reform Movement of 1898 were beheaded. Zhao Jia was the leader of the executioner at that time, and he executed six gentlemen. Zhao Jia and Liu Guangdi have long-standing friendship, and they are appreciated by Liu Guangdi. He also deeply admired Liu Guangdi. He thinks that doing good is a reward to the benefactor. Zhao Jia's beheading was like a crackle. People only see their bodies swinging, but they don't see the light of the knife. Zhao Jia has six heads in his hand, and he has been famous ever since.
The most tiring time he did was in Tianjin. In Tianjin, Qian, the cavalry captain who failed to assassinate Yuan Shikai, was a brave man who was resolute, upright, both civil and military, and full of blood. Zhao Jia used 500 knives and cut almost all the money, which made him a hero all the time. Also in this execution, Zhao Jia was praised by Yuan Shikai and advised Empress Dowager Cixi. Zhao Jia was received by Empress Dowager Cixi and the emperor, which became the greatest glory in his life.
Sun Bing, who was sentenced to sandalwood punishment, is the in-laws of Zhao Jia's children. He also made comprehensive preparations, intending to let Sun Bing live five more days during his prison term, but this time he failed to achieve the expected result. Was killed by chief Qian. Zhao Jia was killed by his wife (Sun Meiniang), and killers always killed her, which is also the inevitable result of a cold-blooded person.
