Because Bao Zheng's men don't have unjust, false and wrong cases, they act in strict accordance with the laws promulgated by the court. They even have? Is the Emperor guilty of breaking the law with Shu Ren? Slogan, so people who have grievances are looking for Bao Zheng to judge. After the trial, once the death penalty is confirmed, the straw cutter will be beheaded on the spot in court. The purpose of Bao Zheng's doing this is not to give the prisoners' families time. After all, in ancient times, rich and powerful people would find relationships and then find powerful people to save them. Especially a character like Bao Zheng, although he is not afraid of power, there is no place where there is no king, so when the emperor ordered the release of the prisoner, Bao Zheng had to obey, so that the prisoner could get away with it, and it was better to be beheaded on the spot.
The ancients executed the death penalty, and the beheader was called the executioner. The executioner's exquisite skills can make the pain of the condemned prisoner different. Moreover, Bao Zheng directly uses the hay cutter, so it is very labor-saving. You know, people's spine is very hard, so beheading can be a clean success, so it takes a lot of effort, and the mower saves effort, and soon, the prisoner will not feel the pain.
To sum up, Bao Zheng has its own reasons for using hay cutters. In ancient times, it was very difficult to bring rich and powerful criminals to justice, so Bao Zheng used this way to avoid the death penalty being saved, and then he could continue to get away with it and do illegal things.
