Ming Dynasty The great talent Zheng Zheng was fabricated for the ethical crime of "beating his mother and having an affair with his sister" because he wrote an article and was sentenced to stern chi.
However, Zheng Zheng, who is 44 years old, feels very wronged. He cried in prison and cried in the sky and shouted. When he was writing the defense book, his words were written out of style. But this is still useless, and he was still called off.

1639, Zheng xu was taken to the East Pailou of Xisi Pailou . At that time, there was a custom, beheading the head down the West Archway, and Lingchi was down the East Archway. The onlookers and Zheng Zheng knew what this meant, but there was another suspense, that is, how many knives?

Although Lingchi had not started yet, the executioner first came to the execution ground early and brought a basket with various knives. The executioner sharpened his knife with sand and gravel at the scene. Although it did not start, it was extremely shocking.

After everything is ready, a command came from a distance, "As usual, you should cut 3,600 knives!" The sound of response resounded through the sky, very imposing.
Lingchi in the Ming Dynasty was able to reach thousands of swords, and it seems that he has mastered many tricks. However, these unique skills were lost during the Qing Dynasty , so the Qing Dynasty generally could only implement low-end versions, and the number of swords was greatly reduced.
The sound of cannon sounded, and the execution of began. A forked wooden pole was established on the spot, and the principle of pulleys was used to raise it in a wooden basket to show the results of the execution.
In this way, Zheng Xu's body was removed from eight pieces, and his internal organs were put in a basket and hung up to display.

When Zheng Xu's body was hung up, his back was facing the audience, and the muscles on it were mottled, like hedgehog , but it did not fall off.
There was an unfounded statement at that time that eating hedgehogs could cure skin diseases. Now, the so-called to supplement shape is of course sneered, but the ancients believed it without doubt. If a hedgehog can treat sores, then isn’t Zheng Xu, who is like a hedgehog, a good medicine for sores?

So, on the way home of Zheng Zheng's friend Ji Liuqi saw many vendors selling Zheng Zheng's raw meat, claiming that it could be used as a recipe for treating sores.
Ji Liuqi said with emotion: "Twenty years ago, Zheng Zheng was extremely talented and gained both fame and fortune. Now he is used together with drugs such as ginseng and tangerine peel to treat skin diseases."
