Three days passed quickly.

Everybody's watching it.

On this day, in the palace, in a pavilion in the middle of the lake, Li Shimin and Qin Tian sat opposite each other.

It's hot outside, but it's very nice here.

There is a chessboard on the stone table, Li Shimin Heizi, Qin Tianbaizi.

"I hope you win this bet, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and if you want to win, it's not easy."

Saying that, Li Shimin fell into a son, Qin Tian smiled lightly, didn't think about it, and also left a son.

"Saint, have faith in yourself, your kindness is enough to influence all the evil thoughts in the world."

Li Shimin pursed his lips, thinking that Qin Tianzhen could speak, so even if he lost, he wouldn't be angry.

The two of them went down like this, and soon, a guard hurriedly came to report: "Holy Lord, two people have returned." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and didn't say anything, they released eighteen people, and now two people are back, which is not much, but this is indeed a good start.

Li Shimin lost another son.

Time passed slowly, and from time to time guards came to give news.

"Holy Lord, five people have returned."

"Holy Lord, eight people have returned."

"Holy Lord, ten people have returned."

“…………”

By noon, seventeen of the eighteen had returned, and one had not returned, and no movement could be heard for a long time.

There was a snack on the stone table, Qin Tian ate it casually, Li Shimin looked up at Qin Tian and said, "If one of them doesn't come back, you will lose." ”

"Holy Lord, seventeen have returned, which is already considered a success, isn't it?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly, it is true that only one person did not come back, but seventeen of them came back, which had touched his heart and made him have the determination to revise the law.

For any person, there is only one missing, it doesn't seem to have a big impact, and the same is true for Li Shimin, in fact, among the eighteen people, he feels that being able to come back ten is enough to change his mind.

A game of chess has ended, Qin Tian's chess skills are good, and after winning this game, the two have no intention of continuing another game.

"Holy Lord, there is still one person who has not returned, but you want to arrest him?"

A guard asked, Li Shimin glanced up at the sky, and said, "Don't worry, before dusk, if that person hasn't come back, it's not too late to arrest him." ”

"Whoa!"

The prison of the Criminal Department.

Han Xiao was very worried at first, in his opinion, the whole thing was nonsense, how could a person who had committed a capital crime come back to die?

But when the first man returned, he was shocked.

It turns out that there are really people who can keep their hearts.

As one person after another returned, Han Xiao had gone from shock to dumbfounded.

"Marquis Qin is so powerful, he said that they would come back, so he really came back?"

This kind of thing is really unpredictable, and even he has thought about it, if he encounters this situation, will he come back to die, he himself does not dare to do this kind of guarantee.

He didn't know how these death row prisoners persuaded him to come back, it must have been a very difficult and tangled choice, right?

"My lord, there is still a person who has not returned, do you want to arrest him."

"There's only one person left, just get him back."

Han Xiao was no longer ready to wait, although this incident shocked him a little, he would never allow any criminal to abscond.

However, as soon as he gave such an order, a guard ran over and repeated Li Shimin's words.

"The Holy One will wait until dusk to decide?"

"Yes!"

Han Xiao's eyebrows moved slightly, but he still responded.

The people of Chang'an, restaurants and teahouses, are all talking about this matter.

"Did you hear that, there's already a person back."

"It's really fake, and someone really came back to die?"

"Alas, the Holy Grace has given them three days to deal with the unfinished business, and now they are willing to return, and it is reasonable to say that."

"Hehe, if it were me, I wouldn't go back, and if I died, there would be nothing, so I might as well live."

"Tsk, it didn't happen to you, so you naturally said that......"

"There's another guy back."

"I heard that more than a dozen people have been back......

At first, everyone was just shocked, because some people really went back, and then when they all went back one after another, everyone turned from shock to discussion, and finally from discussion to shock.

"What, seventeen people have already returned? These are death row prisoners, they ...... It's hard to understand how it looks? ”

"Who's to say no, are they sick in the head?"

In their opinion, the condemned prisoners are all very heinous and very bad, but now the very bad people are basically coming back one after another, which is beyond their cognition, so they are shocked.

And after the shock, there was more talk.

"There is one last person left, will he come back, if he comes back, this matter will be really shocking."

"Conscience."

“…………”

The afternoon sun was a little blazing, and in a small courtyard in Chang'an City, a man knelt in the bright sun, he had been a little prostrated by the sun, and he was covered in sweat.

And in front of him stood a woman, a woman in her sixties, already old, no different from other ordinary women, but there was a trace of determination in her eyes.

"Mother, son, please, you can go with your son, my son doesn't want to die, let's escape from Chang'an, we can go anywhere."

The man's voice was already hoarse, but the woman was unmoved.

"The Holy One trusts you so much and gives you three days to come back, but you have to leave, are you worthy of the Holy One? What did my mother tell you before, to be a man is to be an upright person, and if you kill someone by mistake, you will be responsible for your own actions? If you want to go, go by yourself, and your mother will pay for your sins. ”

"Mother......

The man shouted, sweat running down his cheeks, but a moment later, in the sweat, there were also tears.

After a long time, the man kowtowed to the woman three times.

"My son goes back, in this life, my son will never be able to repay his mother again, I hope that my mother will be born in the next life, don't have another child like me."

With that, the man got up and left.

The weather is hot and dry, and the cicadas are chirping.

In the palace, Li Shimin was still sitting with Qin Tian, and the two talked a lot about the revision of the law, because Li Shimin had already decided.

And just as the two were chatting like this, Han Xiao hurriedly ran over.

"Holy, holy, it's back, it's all back."

Han Xiao shouted, and Li Shimin suddenly stood up and asked, "Are they all back?" ”

"yes, they're all back."

Qin Tian smiled lightly: "The kindness of the saint is enough to influence any evil thoughts, the minister is not wrong, right?" ”
