The Last Supper?

  In the past, before a prisoner was executed, the executioner would not be stingy. A large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, as long as it was something that could be obtained, would be sent to the prisoner who was about to be beheaded.

  Everyone will die anyway, so why not let others have a full stomach before they go?

  The prisoner who was about to die also stripped off his upper garment, loosened his belt and opened his belly to eat and drink wildly.

  I heard this story from elderly people when I was young.

  It is said that there was a notorious thief who killed people and stole goods, but he accidentally slipped up and was caught and sentenced to beheading. The execution officer thought that the thief still had some heroic spirit, so he let him eat his fill before the execution.

  Having eaten one's fill of farewell meals, on the road to the Yellow Springs, isn't there also three parts bravery and seven parts dignity?

  That great thief Jiang Yang is probably a straight man, knowing that this is the last meal in the world of the living, and if he doesn't eat now, he won't have another chance. For an entire night, he ate recklessly, amazingly finishing half a pig, two jars of wine, and over ten old flatbreads...

  This opened the eyes of the executioner and also moved his heart.

  Let's just say that this guy won't be killed for now. This official thinks there's more to his case, and will make a decision after reporting to the higher-ups.

  So he temporarily spared the life of that great thief, and every day he would specially order good wine and food to entertain him, not daring to slight that great thief in any way.

  Then did the teacher feel puzzled?

  You say a big thief who has nothing to do with the government, is it worth being so careful every day?

  Could it be that this great thief has another identity?

  The master then told the executioner about his doubts in his heart.

  The executioner is just doing his job.

  Master, in ordinary days, money and grain lawsuits are your specialty, we can't intervene or exert our strength.

  But some details in official circles, as a steward of your level, you wouldn't quite understand.

  Did you notice?

  For the past ten days or so, this big thief has been having a meal of half a pig, two jars of wine and some meat and vegetable dishes every day, plus a dozen or so old pancakes.

  Let's just say that this culinary skill is something that can't be achieved without having spent over a decade honing one's skills in the government circles.

  Let's just say I'm a small execution officer?

  It's still a ruthless and merciless government, isn't it?

  Normally there's hardly any chance of going on a business trip to inspect the open sea, but that year I had to attend at least over 200 banquets.

  Don't be fooled by the colorful dishes on the banquet table that look appetizing, once you're at the wine table, there's no chance to taste any side dishes, it's all about washing down your intestines with liquor!

  What a coincidence! Within one day, having three big feasts and five small drinks, the intestines and stomach can't take it anymore, but still going strong with a twist of fate...

  Do you still remember Old Liu from the Supervision Department?

  Those old men had a three-day banquet in a row and finally drank themselves to death in their sedan chairs.

  Isn't there the example of the grain depot's chief accountant?

  Others also risked their lives drinking wildly, finally diving head-first into the serene and peaceful place of reincarnation in the five grains, only to be suffocated by those very five grains!

  So, this big thief can have such a good life, it must be honed in the officialdom. Let's not rush to kill him, let's wait until we figure out his true identity and then we'll talk about it later.

  If he really was an official in the past, then there must be someone in the imperial court who knows him. Who knows, our act of sparing his life might bring us endless benefits in the future.

  Even if I, the old master, have been deceived by him and he is indeed just a big thief from the rivers and seas, then relying on his culinary skills, let's secretly find a death row prisoner to take his place and bring him to my side...

  That day at the dinner table there was an office director who could eat so much, who am I afraid of?

  After hearing the execution officer's words, the one who was acting as the master suddenly felt enlightened, as if a veil had been lifted from his eyes.

  Otherwise, how can others be leaders if we can only be secretaries?

  This strategic vision is indeed honed over a long period of time!

  This master was admiring the insight and strategy of the execution officer on one hand, while on the other hand, he was pondering to himself.

  Anyway, this big thief's life is saved.

  Good luck, in the future this big thief will rise to high positions, now getting along with him will definitely not be a loss.

  Even if luck is bad, this big thief will definitely be his colleague in the future. What concept is it that a secretary and an office director have a good relationship?

  One understands the leader's intention, one perfects the leader's instructions, and in the end, the leader is very satisfied.

  The boss is satisfied, can't we get some benefits?

  The master had a small abacus in his heart and quickly bought some good food and drink, personally delivering it to the notorious thief.

  It was as if reporting good news, and the teacher immediately told the execution officer's thoughts to that great thief.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the face of that big thief by the river immediately changed...

  Without saying another word, he charged forward and crashed into the prison wall!

  When the master's strength was small, and he was a civil servant after all, he couldn't hold on. He stared blankly as that big thief Jiang Yang crashed into him with seven holes bleeding, staring blankly as he was about to die.

  This master is puzzled!

  What's wrong with this big thief who heard good news and still wants to die?

  Holding onto the dying pirate, he hastily asked: "What's wrong with you? Why are you seeking death?"

  That great thief Jiang Yang is now on his last breath...

  Struggling to say that I shouldn't think every day is the last meal, tearing open my belly and eating wildly.

  It's been only ten short days and I already feel like my stomach is unbearably bloated, let alone the years to come!

  You guys are really vicious! Cutting me with a knife would be a quick death, but making me drink to death with you is not only slow but also miserable!

  The most important thing is that eating too much food and drink will lead to eighteen layers of hell!

  Holding the corpse of Jiang Yang, the great thief who had just died, Master's heart was filled with doubts...

  After making a big fuss all day, this big thief is thinking of dying soon. He's afraid that every meal is his last, so he eats like there's no tomorrow.

  Our master is living a comfortable life, so why does he eat and drink like his life depends on it every time he goes out for a banquet?

  Master is really puzzled...

  P.S: I occasionally saw a news report.

  I just wrote the story above.

  Also remembered a line of poetry.

  The Zhu family's gate is filled with the smell of wine and meat, while on the road there are frozen corpses!

  I still remember a dish I once had.

  In a large black bowl were three or five pickled radishes the size of big thumbs.

  That was dinner for twelve people.

  That day was Mid-Autumn Festival.

  Suddenly I want to say something to those officials who are fighting on the battlefield of socializing!

  All you officials who are busy socializing, you risk your lives to eat and drink...

  You've worked hard!

  The people will remember you!

  It's just me, a powerless and insignificant old fool, begging you...

  Please, I'm begging you, give the food and drinks that you can't finish to those poor people who have never had abalone, lobster, Maotai or XO in their lives?

  This is good for you and them!

  Please...!!!
