71. Koshu Gold
Qin Ming walked to Tianaka and asked, "Who is the death row prisoner just escorted?"
"The agent of Edo Dingfu in Matsue Bible, Nagakura Kanji." Tanaka recalled: "I have been in prison for several years. It is said that it is related to the treasures of Koshu, so I don't know much about it."
Nagakura Kanji, you can tell that he is Nagakura Shinhara's father by his name.
Qin Ming asked again: "How did Nagakura Shinhachi and Ichikawa come in?"
The only people who knew that the four groups of the king and the barbarians "ambushed and assassinated" the British were the few people in the wooden house that day.
Later, Matsuhei Etsubata and Harris kept the news according to Qin Ming's idea, and even the head of Tanaka, Takashima Prison, didn't know.
Logically speaking, only the other two people who are sure to be guilty of murder will be classified as death row prisoners, Nagakura and Ichikawa can only be locked up at most.
But they were still listed as death row prisoners.
Qin Ming felt something was wrong on the first day he was imprisoned. He originally planned to ask, but later he forgot about it.
Now that I saw Nagakura Shingakura's expression was strange, I remembered it again. It seems that the reason for the death penalty was mostly related to Nagakura Kamiji.
"They... stole twenty taels."
“…”
Qin Ming found it a bit incredible.
The Tokugawa Shogunate had a clear rule, which said: "If you steal ten taels of gold, you will be killed."
Whether you steal ten taels at one time or the sentence result after the accumulated 10 taels, in short, "stealing ten taels of gold" is a crime of killing. On the contrary, if you only steal nine or three points, it is just exiled, which is not enough for the death penalty.
In other words, Nagakura and Ichikawa not only stole twenty taels, but also just stole ten taels from one person, so that they could squat together.
What a honest person can do?
Qin Ming really couldn't imagine that two people who were assassinating would do the same thing as Kondo.
There must be hidden behind it.
"The big muscles and bones are good; the red powder is applied to the romantic! "
The half-dead Yongcang Kan was found in the pit, but before he died, he suddenly turned back and felt his strength, and shouted a poem about the passing of the world.
No one finds it strange. The Japanese emphasize chanting a song "Dead" when they are dying, and death row prisoners are no exception.
During the past few days when Qin Ming was in prison, he had his inmates practicing from time to time. They recited day and night, and even took pride in being both emotional and touching and applauding.
It is probably similar to "I have a big scar on my head, and I will be a hero again twenty years later", and I have to make harsh words before my death.
"This body and bone return to heaven and earth, not touching the world, and are alone in the world..."
Qin Ming gently recited Nagakura Kamiji's poem about death, which was quite famous, and was the poem about death of the "Tiger of the Arctic" Takeda Nobugen.
ccav once broadcast "Tashigen Takeda". Qin Ming was also constantly learning after traveling through time and had some understanding of Takeda Shingen.
"When Takeda Shingen ruled Keshu, he invited miners to mine the local gold mines and was able to make the world rich. It is said that the mines in Keshu contain at least 500,000 taels of gold."
"The so-called treasure of Koh Samuel is Koh Samuel gold, right?"
Qin Ming guessed in his heart that even he was a little jealous of such a large amount.
In the pit, Katsukoro Kaneko had finished his execution and simply cut off Kanji Nagakura's head.
When Nagakura Shinhara saw his head rolling to the ground, his body shook.
Tanaka suddenly said, "What a lucky guy..."
"As soon as the samurai master who was originally arranged to execute the punishment on behalf of the military service, he would take care of it, and he actually chose the easiest punishment."
The punishment of fertilization is considered to be the cruelest among Japanese punishments.
The fighter must use a long spear to poke the death row prisoner's waist upward and thirty times. It will stop until the blood flows and the undiluted food flows out of the pierced stomach.
Cutting off is beheading, which is less painful in comparison.
"Kikogoro..."
Qin Ming remembers that Kei Kogoro was suspected of being a thief who respected the king and expelled the barbarians. Now the whole city of Edo is searching for them. The best way to do so is to lie dormant or slip away.
But Kanekogoro came to the execution ground and even executed as a samurai instead of fighting and exercising.
And the person who executed the execution is a bit special...
Qin Ming couldn't help but have a bold idea.
Nagakura Katsuji is also a member of the party that respects the king and expels the barbarians. Looking for the "treasure of Jiazhou" is to respect the king and expel the barbarians. After all, if there is reform or uprising, money is indispensable.
Katsukoro may have come to see him off for his comrades, replacing the punishment of the comrades with a punishment to reduce the pain before his death. At the same time, he also scrutinized information. Nagakura Kazuji's poem about his death may be a secret code.
Qin Ming looked up and saw that after Nagakura Kamikatsu's soul left his body, it soon became transparent.
But he seemed to see Shinhara Nagakura on the sidelines, his spiritual body's mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something.
It was too far apart to hear clearly, but the old charlatan taught Qin Ming a little lip.
Qin Ming tried to interpret it, but was slightly stunned and moved.
After Kei Xiaowuro cut off the person, he left and ran very fast.
Later, Qingci and other death row prisoners were executed soon.
Qin Ming observed carefully that after the prisoner died, his soul would leave his body and float.
But it will not form ghosts, nor will it be stable for several days after leaving the body, just like the victims in murder cases.
Almost as soon as he left the body, he became transparent and was eaten by Yijin Shintian one by one.
"I'm here to feed Ijin Shintian?"
Qin Ming slowly clarified his thoughts. The reason why the soul of the death row prisoner is that there is no resentment, obsession, and other things that can support the soul.
"In the Hundred Ghosts, most monsters are created because of resentment, unwillingness or something."
"If you think so, you are a very expert in customizing the death penalty."
The death row prisoner will not be executed immediately after being imprisoned, but will have to wait for a while.
Time can eliminate resentment.
Those who obey the prisoners and even meet the unfair requirements of drinking milk are also to be polite and reduce resentment.
Before death, shouting "death" is to release the emotions in my heart.
After a set of procedures, the truly wronged death row prisoner may become a demon, but the death row prisoner who has indeed made mistakes can only disappear.
After confirming the formation of the ghost, Qin Ming returned to prison.
The supper was a delicious food delivered from outside as usual, and the prisoner who had been a chef was re-setting.
Qin Ming sat upright, and he had to have a sense of ritual when and wherever he was. In the eyes of people of this era, this is the style and the style of a master.
Just as Ichikawa was about to have a meal, he thrust his knees:
"Mr. Abe, I stole the twenty taels, and Shinba did nothing!"
"He pleaded guilty to relieve my crime!"
Qin Ming didn't know what expression to do to reduce the charge? What are you cheating!
Ten taels or twenty taels are all death penalty. What crimes have been reduced?
He pointed to the lock of the prison door.
"ah...."
Ichikawa realized at this time that Qin Ming, like them, was a death row prisoner.
It seems unreasonable for the prisoner to ask another prisoner for his injustice...
