70. Death penalty
The content in the letter is very simple, the general meaning is that Qin Ming was imprisoned and rescued from all directions. Although Tokugawa Shigee was repeatedly in his attitude and encountered a little trouble, there was Keihashi Ichihashi and Harris who had already persuaded the general.
Qin Ming didn't understand why Tokugawa Shigee targeted him, but seeing how many people worked hard outside, the problem would not be too big.
"Add more fires. Although the prison is very good, the prisoners and the prisoners are very obedient, if they stay, Tanaka will be poor."
"And you can't go to Yoshihara."
"...Yes, I'm going to Yoshihara to find "Katsuke". I remember that Nobuya Kamikaze said that he was an old lady. She was old. If there was a case, all the clues would be cut off."
Qin Ming immediately took a pen and sent a letter to Matsuhira Rongbao back, and wrote another letter: "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron......Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon..."
I have talked about sulfur before. At this time, the concept of elements has already existed. It is still nine years before Mendeleev proposed the periodic table of elements, and what is lacking is the arrangement of elements.
Just take out the periodic table of elements.
"Knowledge" is enough to attract foreigners, and further find Qin Ming for academic exchanges, and to release a prisoner from the shogunate, it is a piece of cake for them.
It can also facilitate Qin Ming's career change.
"Oda, send someone to send this letter to the British Embassy and hand it over to Mr. Darwin."
With Darwin's knowledge, he should understand it.
But it seems not enough, what if Darwin doesn't understand chemistry?
Qin Ming added another stroke and wrote in Chinese characters "Survival of the fittest".
We are like-minded friends, and we are friends who are forgot to age. You can’t watch and not save them, right?
For the shogunate at this time, the British were better than the general.
Tanaka took the letter and put it carefully in his arms. This is a letter that can communicate with foreigners!
After everything was arranged, Qin Ming continued to fall asleep. Nagakura Shinhara was in a place across his body, and he was not invaded by all ghosts, so he should not sleep too well.
Life in prison is good!
The next day.
The executioner, that is, the fighting service. After the fighting service was assembled outside the prison, Yi Jiao took his younger brothers into the cell to pick him up.
This Yi Jiao was the one who watched Qin Ming go to prison. When facing Qin Ming, he didn't dare to speak too loudly, but asked extremely respectfully: "Qingci, Tianbao was born in August of the 11th year of the 19th year, and he was twenty years old. Is there anyone there?"
Qin Ming felt quite novel. According to the rules in the prison, he answered loudly as the famous priest: "Qingci, I was imprisoned in March of the seventh year of An Zheng, and this person is here."
After saying that, he turned around and told the corner that the samurai who was pretending to be a samurai and out of place: "Someone mentioned you."
Then Nagakura Shingata took Kiyoji out of the prison as the young master of the prison.
The other two death row prisoners were two Satsuma vassals in the four-person group of honoring kings and expelling barbarians.
Qin Ming was a little concerned. They were arrested together with Nagakura Shinhachi and Ichikawa. Why was the death sentence today? Could it be that Nagakura and Ichikawa were different from their sentences?
At this time, the person had finished mentioning it, and Yi Jiao started to speak loudly and asked to other cells: "Other cells, are there no problem?"
This is to tell the prisoners that only a few prisoners who were executed for the death penalty today were suppressed.
Qin Ming followed Yi Yao with several other death row prisoners. They had to finish the entire execution process and get familiar with the process.
Qin Ming was not very afraid of having Nagakura Shinba followed, and he had one thing to be sure of.
The death row prisoner was taken out of the prison door, and Tan Zhong and others brought Qin Ming a second-level dumpling to make breakfast, and at the same time, they found out that the death row prisoner was well-known.
Then the group went to the reorganized office and confirmed the details of the death row prisoner again.
There will be a person in the revision institute to examine the unity and verify the correctness again.
"Kondo, the dojo has been around recently..." Qin Ming greeted Tongxin who was inspecting the inspection with a smile.
"Shh--" Kondo also made a lip silence. Honest people are always honest people. Although they are all their own people, they still act according to the rules and regulations and dare not be too out of line.
Qin Ming shook his head. He knew Kondo's despicable nature. He originally planned to talk about how the dojo is doing recently, whether Ah Guang is more beautiful, and he kept his words back in his stomach.
Kondo carefully announced the death sentence that he had already prepared. After listening to it, Kiyoji answered loudly, "Thank you".
Qin Ming was quite curious. The spirit of Japanese samurai was really beyond expectations. Even a devastating samurai like Kiyoji would say thank you at the moment of death. It would be nice for ordinary people not to be scared of incontinence.
Before going to the execution ground, Kondo took advantage of the opportunity to pass by Qin Ming and whispered: "Mother cried several times, and her father kept drinking and was depressed, but you will be out soon. The Minister of the Ichihashi Prediction Department and Consul Harris are helping you."
Qin Ming laughed silently, and was like a spy whispering, cautious. Not to mention normal communication, even if I played the suona and ordered a few kabuki on the spot, no one would say much.
At the same time, he felt warm in his heart. Ms. Hanako really treated him as her child. As for Master Kondo, he was a shrewd person. It was impossible for him to see that the prison was fine at all. He just pretended to be depressed and gave him extra reasons to drink, and he was mostly happy.
The execution ground is located in a yard within the prison. The gate of the yard is called "burying the door". It deserves its name. Once you enter the door, you will be buried.
The jailer tied a half piece of paper to Qingci and others, covering his eyes, and pulled the few people to a rectangular deep pit.
The pit is usually covered with wooden boards, but it is only opened when the death penalty is executed.
Seeing that Qin Ming seemed to be observing something seriously, the idle Yifu immediately stepped forward and explained in a flattering manner: "Mr. Abe, there is a legend about this fighting service."
In this way, it seemed that Qin Ming was an adult who inspected the execution, not a prisoner who was intimidated by the punishment.
"When they "do business", their eyes will become dark. When the knife light flashes, their heads fall to the ground and their eyes will recover. Before going out for execution, they will light candles at home. Today, they will make a few people cut down, just a few."
"When the family saw that one candle was extinguished, they knew that one had been cut. When two candles were extinguished, they knew that one pair had been cut. When all the candles were extinguished, they knew that... "
Qin Ming, who was carefully observing and thinking about the birth of ghosts and monsters, quickly stopped and stopped, and when he heard the candle, he thought of the ninety-nine candles in the old house, and was so furious.
But the Yimao didn't understand why, he raised his hand at the mouth and whispered: "So the lamp oil and candles of the squad family are expensive. I wonder if Lord Abe had heard of the fire in Yoshihara Nakanocho Town many years ago."
"It is said that the candles from a fighting family in the town were not extinguished, causing a fire."
Qin Ming, who was a little impatient, was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard of the fire somewhere, but the cause of the fire was completely different from what Yi Yao said.
Seeing this, Yimao thought he had attracted the attention of Lord Abe, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He said more: "It is said that fighting soldiers often sell a unique secret medicine, which is the most effective in treating tuberculosis, because the medicine has a taste of "human gallbladder"..."
At this time, there was a quick Malay newspaper, and after a little communication, the execution was stopped after the fight.
Kei Kogoro of the Changshou clan stood at the position of fighting. In order to try their own methods, some samurai would stuff money for fighting and kill people instead of fighting, which was also considered a way for prisons to generate income.
In addition, an additional death row prisoner with only half breath was escorted.
Qin Ming keenly discovered that after seeing the death row inmate, Shinhara Nagakura was a little strange.
