Late Tang

Chapter 11

What the knight brought was the amnesty edict of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the southern suburbs. The new emperor ascended the throne in July, worshiped heaven in the southern suburbs of Chang'an on October [-], and then issued an edict to pardon the world.The imperial court dispatched envoys to carry the new emperor's edict and pass them along the post to all parts of the world.

"Edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: Before October [-]th, if the crime is not serious, the crime is not serious. Salty pardon them. However, those who commit murder, are among the ten evils, and commit stolen goods in the official code, are not exempt."

There has always been a custom of amnesty when the new emperor ascends the throne.Generally, amnesty orders are often issued when a new emperor ascends the throne, changes the year name, establishes a queen, or establishes a prince.This general amnesty order means that all crimes committed before October [-]th will not only be pardoned, but also pardoned.Those who have passed the amnesty will have their criminal responsibilities completely cancelled.Those who have not yet been investigated shall not be investigated; those who have been investigated shall be revoked; those who have been convicted and sentenced shall be invalidated.Of course, this amnesty decree is not applicable to everyone. The imperial edict specifically stipulates that the heinous will not be pardoned, and those who kill intentionally will not be pardoned. In addition, corruption and dirty crimes will not be pardoned, and the rest will be pardoned.

This amnesty is also known as emptying the prison, an act of grace for the imperial power.

After the messenger finished reading the edict, he asked the town to copy the edict and post it in the town to inform the people.

After Cui Zhen took Xie En, he immediately turned to Wang Tui and the prison guard and said, "The emperor's kindness is great, and the prisoners are not cleared up immediately. All prisoners who committed crimes and were sentenced before October [-]th will be pardoned and released from prison immediately."

"Yes, my lord." Official Wang Tui and the prison guard hurriedly took orders.

At the gate of the west city, the guard escorting Li Jing and Li Jing met each other's eyes, and were stunned for a moment.

Li Jing's heart suddenly became extremely excited. Originally, he thought that he was finished, and he was even prepared for the worst. He was going to find a way to escape immediately after leaving the city.No one thought that there would be no way out, and there would be another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

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

It has been stated in the edict that this amnesty is only for criminals before October [-]th.It is now the end of October, and Li Jing will be in prison for more than half a month.His mind turned sharply, and he tried hard to recall the time when he entered the town last time.

Is it the ninth day of October or the tenth day of October?It seems to be the ninth day, and it seems to be the tenth day.Think hard, think hard.By the way, it was the tenth day of October. The night before Li Jing went out, Mrs. Han specially read the almanac. It was said that the tenth day of October the next day was a good day to go out.

On the tenth day of October, he was included in the amnesty.

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

"Brother Guancha, the younger one was arrested on the tenth day of October, and the younger one is also included in the amnesty. Please ask the elder brothers of the official messenger to take me back."

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

"It can't be wrong, big brother official, after the younger brother pardons, the younger brother will invite some older brothers to have a drink."

"Okay, let's go for a while." The fierce-faced man was easy to talk to.

"Wait!" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and Wang Liang shouted with a look of panic on his face: "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense, he was obviously arrested after October No. Don't waste time by listening to him talking nonsense." Wang Liang took out a purse from his body, and stuffed it into the hands of the fierce-faced man, "Brothers, have tea on the way. "

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

"Brother Guancha, don't listen to this dog. I was framed by this dog. He framed my younger brother in prison, took the opportunity to seize my family's [-] acres of land and refused to give up, and he was determined to exile my younger brother to Iraq." Zhou, this is just thinking about killing my little brother. Please take me back with you, so you can find out what happened." Li Jing hastily explained to the fierce-faced man, fearing that it would be the last time. trembling.

Wang Liang was sweating anxiously. He just told Li Jing everything. If Li Jing went back, he would be acquitted.As soon as Li Jing came out, the first one had to seek revenge from Wang Liang.

"Brother, as long as you take him out of the city right now, my younger brother is willing to donate ten acres of fertile land."

The fierce-faced man smiled without saying a word.

"Twenty acres are all good paddy fields."

"Thirty acres"

"Forty mu, big brother, I'll give you all of my wealth."

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

"***, you really think I don't know anything. If you hadn't been playing tricks and deceit, Brother Li would have been wronged and imprisoned, and I almost got escorted to Iraq with him." Zhou. Dog, I didn’t break your leg. I’m in a good mood today, and I still want to use money to buy me. Get out, let me see it again, and hit me once. Don’t think that if you follow Fatty Zhang, you dare to bully others. Come on me, I told you to die without knowing how to die." The fierce-faced man Zhang Tiehui was originally a team leader of the Chishan Town Army, but he was always straightforward and didn't know Fangyuan.

The result of this escort task finally fell on his head. The prisoner was exiled to Yizhou for a lifetime of nine lives, so it was not the case for those who took over the task of escort.He was already full of anger when he received this errand, but now that he saw the rightful owner, he naturally vented his anger on Wang Liang.

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

Li Jing cupped his fists and cupped his hands to Zhang Tiechui, bent [-] degrees and said solemnly: "Thank you for the rescue today, brother, I am very grateful."

Zhang Tiechui laughed, and slapped Li Jing's shoulder heavily with his hammer-like fist: "What do you do with those polite words, I just like you. I know a lot about you, and it's kind of eye-opening, isn't it? Let the bad guys succeed, and the good guys get wronged. Come, let my brother help you get off the shackles, and go back together to cancel the punishment for this crime."

Back at the prison, things went well.The emperor's amnesty edict was posted on the wall, and the pusher took out Li Jing's criminal files to check. The time of the crime was on the tenth day of October, and it was included in the amnesty.Immediately with a tick of the cinnabar pen, Li Jing immediately became a good citizen under the rule from a heavy prisoner exiled for three thousand miles.

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

After Li Jing and Wang Liang looked at each other fiercely across the air, they flicked their sleeves, turned around and greeted Han Shi and other family members and fellow villagers who were crying with joy.To survive this catastrophe, the first thing he has to do is to pay back the ordeal that Wang Liang imposed on him!

Some people repay grievances with kindness, others repay grievances with honesty, and others repay grievances with grievances.But for Wang Liang, a bastard, Li Jing would only use an eye for an eye, blood for blood, and it had to be doubled.
