朱元璋命令:官吏贪赃到六十两以上的枭首示众,仍处以剥皮之刑。贪污官员处死后,把贪官的皮剥下来,然后在皮内塞上稻草,做成稻草人,并挂于公座之旁,供众人参观。可是贪官的头是杀不完的,就像“割韭菜”一样,根不除去,割去一茬,又长上来新的一茬。 Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: Officials greedily to more than sixty two owls head first public, still be punished. After the execution of the corrupt officials, he peeled off the skin of the corrupt officials and then stuffed the straw in his skin, made a scarecrow, and hung it beside the public seat for everyone to visit. However, corrupt officials can not kill their heads, just like “cutting leeks,” roots do not remove, cut off a crop, and grow up a new crop.
