There were various types of torture in ancient times. In addition to the famous ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty, among them, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who strictly governed the country, had a punishment called "the punishment of grooming" during his tenure. What exactly is it? Why make the prisoner desperate when he hears it? Recently, there is a history column discussing this topic.

The cruel degree of this punishment far exceeds people's imagination! Before the official start, after the prisoners were stripped of their clothes, they were pushed down on the iron bed with their backs up, and their limbs were firmly tied with ropes to prevent them from moving. At the same time, a cloth was used to block the prisoner's mouth to prevent the prisoner from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
The executioner will take out an iron brush, and the executioner will pour the prepared hot water on the prisoner's back many times, just like the process of "pig depilation". The prisoner was burned by the boiling water. Even though the fear had spread throughout his body, his mouth was still stuffed with strips and he couldn't cry out because he couldn't move.
The execution process is only halfway through! The executioner would pick up the prepared iron brush and scrub the prisoner's back vigorously. Each time he brushed it, a large piece of meat would fall until he finally saw the bone. The scary thing is that the executioner has rich experience and can accurately master the number of times of boiling water and the brushing strength. The prisoner should not get used to the high temperature or die from pain in advance, so that the whole brushing process can be completed smoothly. As the skin was scraped off one by one, the back was dripping with blood, but he would not die immediately, he could only struggle in extreme pain, waiting for the end of his life, and his death was quite miserable.
