"Your Excellency, you are absolutely right." A prisoner in his forties: "Lord Wang, in a few years, the little one will be able to go out and become a new man." When the time comes, the small ones will definitely settle down and make a living, and they will never mess around. ”

"If only you had this heart." Wang Mang nodded and said, "Although the tasks assigned to you by the jailer every day may be heavier and more, this is also everyone's contribution to the people's well-being and accumulating merit." Now every household in Dingxi Guan lives and works in peace and contentment, with tens of millions of acres of fertile land and excellent harvest, which has become a real prosperous era, which is all your credit.

If it weren't for your participation in helping to reclaim wasteland, build bridges and pave roads, build houses, dig reservoirs, etc., Dingxiguan would never have such a scene so soon.

I have already agreed with the city lord that when you go out after your sentence is over, if you have no home, the city lord will assign you a small courtyard for you to live in. If you have a family but no living expenses, the city lord will also give you a certain amount of money and rice to help you tide over the buffer period.

All in all, as long as you repent well, do things seriously, and accumulate merit and dedication, after you go out, you will definitely enjoy the same benefits as ordinary people.

If you still have bad thoughts after you go out, then the next time you are caught, you will not have such good treatment. There is only one chance, not too many, and I will not give you a steady stream of opportunities. For I will seek justice for those who have been hurt by you. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, as long as I wait for my sentence to go out, we will definitely be honest and will never break the law again."

"Good!" Wang Mang said: "You can do it yourself, I still have some things to deal with, and when you go out after your sentence is completed, we will come to drink and talk again." ”

The head of the jailer said, "Have you seen it, this is Lord Wang, he really gave you a chance to change your ways, and also took into account what happened after you went out." Therefore, you must be organized, make more contributions, and try to get out as soon as possible. Only if you repent seriously and go out as soon as possible can you do Lord Wang a favor.

Maybe you don't know yet, the people arrested today are all thieves who want to assassinate Lord Wang. This group of people is lawless, arrogant, and heinous, and specializes in looting the people's fat and ointment, and exploiting the people. Lord Wang carried out a high-intensity suppression of these people, and when they could not resist, they united with many corrupt officials to assassinate Lord Wang.

If misfortune happens to Lord Wang, then you will basically have no hope of repenting. I think you all know what life was like in prison before. At present, this prosperous scene is purely dependent on Lord Wang to maintain it.

Now only you can repent and go out to help Lord Wang deal with those thieves and reduce the pressure on Lord Wang. If Lord Wang puts too much energy into your repentance, then Lord Wang will not be able to bear it, and he will not have so much energy.

A good home needs us to work together to build, and a happy life needs us to maintain it together. If Lord Wang loses, we will not be happy. ”

The prisoners all nodded yes, saying that they would resolutely and seriously repent, earn merits, and strive to go out as soon as possible to be a new person, and contribute to Dingxiguan and Wang Mang.

About half an hour passed, and Wang Mang and the four of them came to the deepest part of the prison.

In this area, the prisoners are all extremely important prisoners, almost all of whom have committed capital crimes, and there is no forgiveness, just waiting for the autumn to be beheaded.

As for the several women that Wang Mang had previously captured in Yichun Courtyard, they were all imprisoned here because of their special identities.

But although these women were locked up here, they were not chained like other condemned prisoners, they were relatively free, and seven or eight girls were in a prison where they could say comforting words to each other.

At this moment, when they saw Wang Mang coming, they exclaimed one by one, and their spirits were greatly shaken.

Although they were not abused by the officials, they used to be outside one by one in the world of flowers, but now they have been caught in this dark prison, and they feel extremely uncomfortable and want to go out.

Therefore, as soon as they saw Wang Mang, they immediately begged and felt hopeful.

They all know that their identity is a little special, and they can only go out if Wang Mang speaks in person. If Wang Mang didn't open his mouth, no one would dare to let him out.

They looked at Wang Mang, and after pleading a few words, they found Su Rong standing behind Wang Mang.

As soon as they saw Su Rong, these women burst into tears, and they felt very aggrieved.

"Madame," the women said sadly, "beg Madame to plead with Lord Wang for us, and let us out." Please, ma'am. ”

"Lord Wang, we did not participate in the murder of you, please be merciful and let us go."

When Su Rong saw them, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It is said that these women are indeed innocent, they have been dragged down by the name of the Ji family, they have not done anything harmful in their lives, they are just ordinary maidservants.

Su Rong didn't feel good in her heart, shook her head and sighed: "Girls, I want to save you out, but I can't save you." Now I'm just like you, a prisoner. ”

"Lord Wang, these girls really have nothing to do, I think you should open the net and let them all go. If it really doesn't work, you can take them by your side as maids and maids. ”

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "Now let them go, this is absolutely not good." ”

"And what do you want?" Su Rong asked.

"Let's wait a while." Wang Mang said to the women: "You all listen to me, although you didn't make a big mistake, but you helped to abuse it." You know some things about the Ji family, but you didn't tell me before, this is the crime of covering up. If it is according to your status as a member of the Ji family, according to the law, you will all be beheaded.

Now I've locked you up, but I haven't done anything to you. When I'm done, I'll let you out. During this time, you will stay here honestly, do not have any other ideas, and obey and cooperate with the command and arrangement of the jailers. ”

Another woman asked, "Lord Wang, how long do you plan to lock us up, you should always give us a little explanation." If you don't want to let us go, then please kill us sooner. ”

"Well, it's about three months to a year, I can't say exactly when it happened. But you can make up for it here. ”

Wang Mang said to the head of the jailers: "These women are weak and can't do heavy work. From tomorrow onwards, they will take care of the sanitation of this prison, which can be regarded as relieving you of some of the burden. Of course, you must not bully them into being rude if they are women. If I find anything bad, I won't spare you. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, I'll arrange this matter tomorrow." The head of the jailers said.

Su Rong said: "Girls, during this time, you should honestly listen to Lord Wang's arrangement, and when you are all free in the future, we will continue the love song." ”
