Chapter 11: Pardon

The knight brought the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the southern suburbs of the amnesty edict, the new emperor ascended the throne in July, October 12 in the southern suburbs of Chang'an to worship the sky, and then announced the edict in the pardon of the world. The imperial court sent envoys to carry the edict of the new emperor and spread it to all parts of the world along the post station.

"Emperor Datang Emperor's edict: Before October 12, before the dawn of the crime, the crime is not serious, it has been sunk, it has not been discovered, it has been corrected, it has not been corrected, it is a prisoner, and those who do not want it will be pardoned. However, those who commit murder, those who are guilty of the ten evils, and those who commit stolen goods by officials are not exempt. ”

When the new emperor ascended the throne, there has always been a custom of amnesty. Generally, when a new emperor ascends the throne, changes the era name, establishes an empress, establishes a crown prince, etc., amnesty decrees are often issued. This amnesty means that all crimes committed before October 12 will be pardoned not only for their punishment, but also for their sins. For those who have been granted amnesty, their criminal liability is completely abolished. where it has not yet been traced, it is not to be pursued; where the investigation has already been pursued, the investigation is to be revoked; Where a crime or sentence has already been declared, the declaration is null and void. Of course, this amnesty decree is not applicable to everyone, and the edict specifically stipulates that there will be no pardon for the ten evils, no pardon for intentional homicide, and no pardon for corruption and dirty crimes, and all others will be pardoned.

This amnesty is also known as emptying the prison as a gesture of favor to the imperial power.

When the messenger had read the edict, he had the town order copied and posted it to the people.

After General Cui Zhen took thanksgiving, he immediately turned to Wang Tuiguan and the prison guards and said: "The Holy Emperor is gracious, and if you don't sort out the prisoners immediately, all the prisoners who committed crimes and were sentenced before October 12 will be immediately pardoned and released from prison." ”

"Yes, sir." The king and the prison guards were busy receiving orders.

At the gate of the West City, the messenger who escorted Li Jing and Li Jing were all staring at each other, stunned for a while.

Li Jing's heart suddenly became extremely excited, originally he thought that he was finished, he was even prepared for the worst, ready to find a way to escape immediately after leaving the city. No one thought that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

The only thing Li Jing is worried about now is time, yes, the time when he committed the crime.

It has already been stated in the edict that the amnesty will only be granted to criminals committed before October 12. It is now the end of October, and Li Jing has been in prison for more than half a month. His heart raced, trying to remember the last time he was in town.

Is it the ninth day of October or the tenth day of October? It seems to be the ninth day of the first month, and it seems to be the tenth day of the first month. Think about it, think harder. By the way, it was the tenth day of October, the first night before Li Jing went out, Han also deliberately read the almanac, and it was said that the next day was a good day to go out on the tenth day of October.

On the 10th day of October, he was among the amnesties.

Li Jing's excited heart was beating violently, which made him more excited than when he found out that he had woken up to the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Guancha, the youngest one was arrested on the tenth day of October, and the younger one is also among the amnesty, and I also ask a few official brothers to take me back."

"Did you really commit the crime before October 12th? Don't talk nonsense, and let us go back and be scolded. The sergeant with a fierce face said.

"It's not wrong, the official is the eldest brother, after the younger brother is pardoned, the younger brother will invite a few eldest brothers to have a drink."

"Okay, let's go." The fierce-faced man is very talkative.

"Wait!" Suddenly, a loud shout sounded, and Wang Liang shouted with a frightened face: "Don't listen to his nonsense, big brothers, he was obviously arrested after October 12th." A few big brothers, let's hurry up and get on the road, don't listen to him talk nonsense and delay time. Saying that, Wang Liang took out a money bag from his body, and all the hundreds of dollars in it were stuffed into the hands of the fierce-faced man, "Big brothers, eat tea on the way." ”

The fierce-faced man threw the money bag in his hand up and down, and the copper coins inside clanged.

"Brother Guancha, don't listen to this dog, I let this dog thing frame me. He framed his younger brother in prison, took the opportunity to take away 60 acres of land from my family and refused to give up, and he was bent on exiled his younger brother to Yizhou. Please also ask the eldest brother to take the younger brother back, what the matter is as long as you check it out. Li Jing hurriedly explained to the fierce-faced man at this time, for fear that he would be trembling at this time.

Wang Liang was sweating in a hurry, he had told Li Jing everything just now, if Li Jing went back, he would be acquitted. As soon as this Li Jing came out, this first one had to seek revenge on him Wang Liang.

"Big brother, as long as you take him out of the city and on the road now, the younger brother is willing to give ten acres of fertile land."

The fierce-faced man smiled but did not speak.

"Twenty acres, all of which are good paddy fields."

"Thirty Acres"

"Forty acres, this big brother, I gave you all my net worth."

The fierce-faced man suddenly flew up with a kick and kicked Wang Liang to the ground.

"Dog, you really don't know anything about Lao Tzu. If it weren't for your cunning and deceitful days, how could this Brother Li be wrongfully imprisoned, and he almost even took Lao Tzu with him to be escorted to Yizhou. Dog thing, if you didn't break your leg, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, and he wants to use money to buy Lao Tzu. Get out, let Lao Tzu see it again, see it once and fight once, don't think that if you follow Zhang Fatzi, you will dare to bully others. provoked Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu told you to die, I don't know how Lu Dao died. "The fierce-faced man Zhang Tiezhu was originally a team 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 fell on his head after the worst, and the prisoner's exile to Yizhou was nine lifetimes, and it was not the case for them to be escorted by the mission. He was already angry when he received this errand, but now that he saw the main master, he naturally sent all his anger to Wang Liang.

Wang Liang wanted to say something more, but when he saw the fierce and vicious Zhang Tiezhu's angry eyes, he immediately ran away in fright.

Li Jing clenched his fists and arched his hand to Zhang Tiezhu, bent his waist ninety degrees and said solemnly: "Thank you for the rescue of the eldest brother today, the younger brother is grateful." ”

Zhang Tiezhu smiled, and the hammer-like fist slapped heavily on Li Jing's shoulder: "What do you do with those polite words, Lao Tzu just looks at you pleasing to the eye." I also know a lot about you, and it's an eye-opener, which doesn't let the bad guys succeed, but the good guys are wronged. Come, let my brother help you get rid of this shackle, and go back together to cancel this crime. ”

Back in prison, things went well. There was an edict of amnesty posted on the wall by the emperor, and the magistrate took out Li Jing's criminal file to check it, and the time of the crime was on the tenth day of the first month of October, and he was among the amnesties. Immediately, with a stroke of the cinnabar pen, Li Jing immediately went from a heavy prisoner who was exiled for 3,000 miles to a good citizen.

At the door of the prison, Li Jing, who was already innocent and light, saw Wang Liang again, and the guy was carefully following behind Zhang Kuguan, and seemed to be talking about something. Li Jing guessed that he must be talking about his own affairs, but it seemed that the treasurer had no intention of killing Li Jing, and scolded Wang Liang a few words, and then followed behind Cui Zhenjiang to flatter.

After Li Jing and Wang Liang glanced at each other fiercely in the air, they flicked their sleeves and turned to greet Han and other family members and villagers who were crying with joy. The first thing he has to do is to pay back the tribulation that Wang Liang imposed on him!

Some people repay grievances with virtue, some people repay grievances with straightforwardness, and some people repay grievances with grievances. But for Wang Liang, a dog thing, Li Jing will only return a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, and it must be doubled.
