Prison!

That is, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which is the place where the imperial court holds felons, usually the people who enter the prison, very few can come out alive, as an ordinary person, this place can be described as mysterious and terrifying, so it is called the prison.

The news of Li Shimin's pardon of 390 death row prisoners caused an uproar in Chang'an City, and naturally spread to the prison. In the prison, all the condemned prisoners cheered and shouted His Majesty's benevolence.

In the most heavily guarded area of the prison, the great thief and fierce wolf in prison clothes was kneeling towards the palace with a reverent face

"Your Majesty is benevolent, when the villain goes out in the future, he will definitely reform and be a new person!"

He committed something after the year, and was used by Merton to use new painting techniques to draw a face, and finally was caught, according to the usual practice, he will be beheaded after this autumn, according to the crime he committed, even if he dies more than ten times, he was already desperate, but the news of Li Shimin's pardon of death row prisoners made him see hope.

The face of the thief and the fierce wolf was pious, as if he had reformed himself, and the original fierce and vicious face became low-brow and pleasing to the eyes.

However, in the heart of the big thief and fierce wolf, he secretly said: "Are these death row prisoners stupid!" I actually came back, and I was so lucky that I was pardoned by the Dog Emperor again, if Lao Tzu went back, I don't know where I could escape. No, even before leaving, you have to find the Mo family and seek justice.

The thief and the wolf couldn't help but feel a trace of hatred in his heart, he had been in the country for many years, and he had never missed, relying on caution, but he didn't expect to encounter the demon Mo Jiazi, and he was able to draw his head with the dictation of a survivor.

How could he not repay such a big revenge, the thief and the fierce wolf secretly hated in his heart, and at the same time prayed sincerely in his mouth, praising Li Shimin's benevolence.

"Don't shout, you can't go out." In the next cell, a lifeless voice rang out.

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty was able to release 390 death row prisoners home last year, and these death row prisoners returned as scheduled, and this year will definitely be the same! If you want to live, be like me! The big thief and fierce wolf hurriedly shouted, those who can be held here are all death row prisoners, and the greedy wolf naturally knows that the person next to him is also a death row prisoner, but this death row prisoner is usually very dull and does not communicate with anyone at all.

"Hahaha! I thought you were a well-known character, and I didn't expect you to be so naïve! You really think that those death row prisoners came back of their own free will. The condemned prisoner in the neighboring prison couldn't help but laugh so loudly that tears flowed from his eyes.

"What, is there anything else hidden?" The big thief and the fierce wolf couldn't help but be stunned.

"The death row prisoners released last year are all family members, Your Majesty released them, if they want to escape, I am afraid that the whole family will be implicated, and the officials of the Criminal Department have made a clear notice, if they can return as scheduled, the crime will be reduced, do you think they will come back?" The death row inmate in the neighboring prison said frantically.

"How do you know?" The thief and the wolf did not believe.

The death row inmate in the neighboring prison gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Because Lao Tzu is last year's death row inmate!" Just because he has no family bonds, he has been imprisoned until now.

"Ahh The big thief and fierce wolf was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to have such a secret secret.

"Do you have a family?" The death row inmate in the neighboring cell asked.

The big thief shook his head dejectedly, he would only commit such a heinous crime when he was alone all his life.

The big thief and fierce wolf suddenly seemed to have been drained of his spirit, and his eyes were glazed.

With a squeak, the door of death row opened heavily, and a team of jailers rushed in, and in front of a group of death row inmates, a bowl of sumptuous dishes, including chicken and meat, compared to the previous meal, it can be described as a good sky.

However, everyone knew that this meal was a severed head, and that it was for them to be full of ghosts.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the prison.

"Impossible, all the death row inmates last year have been released, why has it changed this year!" A death row inmate shouted in disbelief.

Other death row inmates were also in an uproar, shouting:

"We have family!"

"I am a well-known filial son, and after I am released, I will definitely return as scheduled."

"My wife and children ......"

………………

The death row inmates in the other cells shouted loudly, but there was no response.

The death row prisoner in the neighboring prison said coldly: "Your Majesty's good reputation is already there, how can you violate the law and discipline again, and if you and others escape, it won't make Your Majesty's reputation fall short."

A group of death row inmates woke up like a dream, like a mourner.

"I don't eat, I don't want to die!"

"Let me go home! I swear to God that I will never break the law again. ”

Immediately, the entire death row was crying and howling, everyone was greedy for life and evil death, yesterday was the cause of today's results, and the evil consequences that had been done finally got the due retribution.

"Faint King!"

A group of death row inmates first wailed, and then cursed loudly, cursing Li Shimin for how unfair they were compared to the previous pardoned death row inmates, and they had no idea of the crimes they had committed, and how unfair those victims were.

Only last year's condemned prisoner laughed miserably, and bit loudly: "Haha, Lao Tzu was able to survive for a year, which is already a fluke, and today is not a loss." ”

After eating his own food, he saw that the food of the thief and wolf in the neighboring prison was still untouched, and said, "If you don't eat it, I will eat it!" ”

The once fierce thief and wolf, who had been dominant, collapsed to the ground as if he had broken bones and cramped, ignoring it.

And the appearance of the Mo family now.

Seeing this, the death row prisoners in the neighboring prison couldn't help but stretch out their hands and pull the food, and ate it with a big mouthful.

In the Tang Dynasty, according to the usual practice, the execution of the death penalty had to be performed three times, but this year's death sentence was approved by Li Shimin very quickly, and only three days after pardoning death row inmates, a large number of death row prisoners had already been approved for execution.

Otherwise, if the people think that after killing someone, as long as they are released home, they can return as scheduled, I am afraid that Datang will be in chaos immediately.

Chang'an City Downtown Entrance,

A large number of people poured into the downtown area, every year after the autumn is the most favorite to see the excitement of Chang'an City, last year did not see the people of Chang'an City very regretful, this year finally got what they wanted.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" An official of the Criminal Department looked at the shadow of the sundial and said in a loud voice.

"Execution!"

At the order of the warden, a token with a large beheading word written on it was thrown into the execution ground.

In the execution ground, the big thief and the prisoner were very coincidentally divided into the same batch of executions, and the two looked at each other, and they both clearly saw that they were very afraid in each other's eyes.

The thief and the wolf wanted to shout that Lao Tzu would still be a good man after eighteen years, but in the face of the executioner's high-raised torture knife, there was only one wail.

The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

Facing the bloody execution scene, all the onlookers couldn't help but be silent, even if they were usually vicious, they couldn't help but be afraid when they saw such a scene.

This is the true essence of Legalism, which cannot help but punish crimes and deter crimes.
