Chapter 11 Amnesty
The knights brought the envoy of the Southern Suburbs of the New Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The new emperor ascended the throne in July and sacrificed the heavens in the southern suburbs of Chang'an on October 12, and then issued an edict to pardon the world. The court sent envoys to carry the New Emperor's edict and spread it to all parts of the world along the post station.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered that before the twelfth day of October, the crime was severe and the crime was no serious. It had not been discovered, and it had been corrected or not. It was imprisoned and the prisoners were often forgiven and those who did not want to be forgiven. However, therefore, those who were killed, those who were within the ten evils were not exempted from the official stolen goods, and those who were in charge of the official stolen goods were not exempted."
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he had always had the custom of general amnesty. Generally, when the new emperor ascended the throne, changed his year name, established an empress, and crown prince, he often issued an amnesty order. This amnesty order means that all crimes committed before October 12 can not only be forgiven, but also forgiven his crimes. Those who have passed the amnesty will be completely cancelled. Those who have not yet been investigated will no longer be investigated; those who have been investigated will be revoked; those who have been punished and declared will be invalid. Of course, this amnesty order is not applicable to everyone. The edict specifically stipulates that those who have been vicious will not be forgiven, those who deliberately kill will not be forgiven. In addition, those who have not been forgiven for violating corruption will not be forgiven, and the rest will be forgiven.
This amnesty order is also called the emptied prison, and it is a move to show kindness to the imperial power.
After the messenger finished reading the edict, he asked the town to copy the edict and post it to the town to express it to the people.
After Cui Zhen took the gratitude, he immediately turned around and said to Wang Tuiguan and the prison guard: "The emperor's kindness is so great that he will not immediately clear the prisoners. All the prisoners who committed crimes before October 12th will be pardoned and released from prison immediately."
"Yes, sir." Wang Tui Guan and the Prison Shou hurriedly took the order.
At the gate of the West City, the servant who was escorting Li Jing and Li Jing both looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
Li Jing suddenly became extremely excited. He thought he was done, but he had even made the worst preparations and immediately tried to escape after leaving the city. No one expected that there would be no way out, and there would be another village with dark and bright flowers.
The only thing Li Jing was worried about now was time. Yes, the time he committed the crime.
The edict already stated that this amnesty only pardons for criminals before October 12th. Now it is the end of October, and Li Jing has been in prison for more than half a month. He turned a sudden turn in his heart and tried hard to recall the last time he entered the town.
Is it the ninth day of the tenth day of the tenth day of the tenth day of the tenth month? It seems to be the ninth day of the lunar month, or it seems to be the tenth day of the lunar month. Think about it carefully and think about it harder. By the way, it was the tenth day of the lunar month. The night before Li Jing left, Han read the almanac specifically. It is said that the next day of the tenth day of the lunar month is a good day to go out.
On the tenth day of October, he was among the amnesty.
Li Jing's heart beat violently with excitement, which made him more excited than he found out that he woke up to the Tang Dynasty.
"The youngest man was arrested on the tenth day of October, and the youngest man was also among the amnesty. I would like to ask several officials to take me back."
"You really committed a crime before October 12th? Don't talk nonsense and make us go back and get scolded." The soldier with a fierce look on his face said.
"I can't make a mistake. The official sent me. After I'm pardoned, I will definitely invite some of my elder brothers to drink."
"Okay, let's go." The fierce-faced man was easy to talk to.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a loud shout sounded, and Wang Liang shouted in panic: "Don't listen to him talk nonsense, he was arrested after October 12th. You should go on the road quickly, don't listen to him talk nonsense and waste time." As he said that, Wang Liang took out a purse from his body, and only a hundred cents of money was stuffed into the hands of the fierce man, "Big brothers have tea on the way."
The fierce-faced man threw the purse up and down in his hand, and the copper coins inside were clattering.
"Brother, don't listen to this dog's words. I just let this dog frame him. He framed his younger brother in prison and took the opportunity to seize the 60 acres of land in my family but refused to give up. He was determined to exile me to Yizhou. He wanted to stop me from the death of my brother. He also asked me to take me back. The matter would be clear as soon as I checked." Li Jing quickly explained to the fierce man, for fear that he would be the last trembling at this time.
Wang Liang was anxious and sweating. He just told Li Jing everything. If Li Jing went back, he would be forgiven without guilt. As soon as Li Jing came out, he would have to seek revenge on him, Wang Liang.
"Brother, as long as you take him out of the city now, I am willing to give him ten acres of fertile land."
The evil-faced man smiled but didn't say anything.
"Twenty acres are all the best paddy fields."
"Thirty acres"
"Forty acres, this big brother, I will give you all my wealth."
The fierce-faced man suddenly kicked up and kicked Wang Liang to the ground.
"Damn it, you really think that I don't know anything. If you weren't a fool, Brother Li wouldn't have been wronged and imprisoned. I almost caused me to follow him to escort to Yizhou. Dog things, I was in a good mood today and wanted to buy me with money. Get out, let me see it again. When I see Fatty Zhang, you dare to bully others if you follow him. If you mess with him, I will not know how to die if I tell you to die." The fierce man Zhang Tiechui was originally a leader of the Chishan Town Army, but he has always been upright and doesn't know much about Fang Yuan.
The result of this escort mission finally fell on him. The prisoners were exiled to Yizhou for a lifetime. Why are they the escorts who received the escort mission? They were already full of anger when they received this job, but now when they see the real master, he naturally exposes all his anger to Wang Liang.
Wang Liang wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhang Tiech's fierce and evil look, he immediately frightened and rolled and crawled away.
Li Jing bowed his fists to Zhang Tiechu, bent his waist 90 degrees and said solemnly: "Thank you, the official, for helping me, I am very grateful."
Zhang Tiechu laughed, and the hammer-like fist slapped Li Jing's shoulder: "What do you do when you say those polite words? I just like you. I know a lot about your affairs, and God is still open to the eyes. This has not made bad people succeed, and good people are wronged. Come on, let my brother help you get this shackle and go back together to eliminate the punishment."
When he returned to the prison, things went very smoothly. An emperor's amnesty edict was posted on the wall. The prosecutor took out Li Jing's crime files and checked it. The crime was on the tenth day of the tenth month of the October 20th and was in the list of amnesty. Immediately, with the cinnabar pen, Li Jing immediately became a vicious prisoner who was exiled for three thousand miles and became a good citizen under his rule.
At the entrance of the prison, Li Jing, who was already innocent, saw Wang Liang again. The guy was following Zhang Kuguan carefully, as if he was still saying something. Li Jing guessed that he must be talking about his own affairs, but it seemed that Zhang Kuguan had no intention of killing Li Jing. He scolded Wang Liang for a few words, and then followed Cui Zhenjiang to flatter him.
After Li Jing and Wang Liang looked at each other fiercely from the air, they shook their sleeves and turned to greet the Han family and other family members who were crying with joy. The first thing he had to do was to return the hardships that Wang Liang had imposed on him!
Some people repay grievances with kindness, some people repay grievances with straightness, and some people repay grievances with grievances. However, for Wang Liang, Li Jing only returns teeth for teeth and blood for blood, and it must be doubled.
