Liu Jin (1451 – 1510) was a prominent Chinese eunuch during the reign of the Zhengde Emperor, and the leader of the Eight Tigers. One of his fellow Tigers, Zhang Yong, an agent of the Templar Order, supported accusations of Liu Jin's conspiracy against the Emperor wherein he was stealing considerable amounts of gold and silver from the taxes. Zhengde sentenced him the Ling Chi, the death of a thousand cuts, for two days, after finding proof that the eunuch was plotting to assassinate him. Young Shao Jun was one of the witnesses of his agonizing torture.
