Pang Meng said, "You go to Chang'an's Tingwei Prison by yourself", and everyone was silent at first, and then there was an uproar.

Guo Cong was stunned for a long time before he hesitated and asked, "Let's go to Chang'an by ourselves." ”

Pang Meng nodded: "Yes." ”

Guo Cong still couldn't believe it, stared at him and asked again: "Let's go to Chang'an by ourselves, there are no prison guards to escort us?" ”

Pang Meng nodded again: "Yes, I was originally escorted, but I have important things that must be done, and I can't leave immediately." And at the moment, the Xiongnu siege is imminent, and it can't be delayed for a moment, so it has to be like this. Your case has been sent to the Imperial Governor's Mansion, and the deadline for the execution is not to be delayed. ”

Song Bo trembled and stepped forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are all people who treat crimes, you let us go to Chang'an by ourselves?" What is it that matters to you more than official business? ”

When Pang Meng was told by him, he was also worried in his heart, and his face was ashamed, and he said, "Uncle Song, I am also forced to do it." ”

Song Bo still wanted to speak, but Song Niang was clever and pulled his clothes. Song Bo also saw that Pang Meng looked embarrassed, so he stopped talking, but felt incredible and shook his head again and again.

Hearing that they could go to Chang'an on their own, Guo Cong's group was the most excited and smiling.

Chun Yuji and Qiu Qian are still shallow, and they are also guilty for the first time, so they don't have any ideas about how to go to Chang'an, so it doesn't matter.

Song Bo was clear in his heart, this place is 1,800 miles away from Chang'an, and the prisoners will inevitably suffer on the way to be escorted, and it is naturally best to go to Chang'an by himself and arrange the food and accommodation by himself. It's just that there is no precedent for this matter, and he doesn't know what the result will be, he is uneasy, and he is also worried about Pang Meng.

Xu Yu didn't understand what was going on at first, but after listening to Zhang Xiaoyi's explanation, she jumped up and shouted, "You can't do this." This pair of adulterers and adulteresses let them go to Chang'an on their own, which just weighed their hearts, and they both went away and flew high. ”

Zhao stood up for no reason and was about to argue, but Ling Yue glared at him vigorously, and then stopped.

Pang Meng was so troubled by her, but she was also a little overwhelmed.

When he was thinking about how to respond, he only heard Xu Yu say to herself: "No, you can't let them go to Chang'an on their own, I want to go with them, go with them." Then he cried out, "You can't let the adulterer and adulteress go by themselves." The old man is willing to go with him and watch over them. ”

Pang Meng was worried about how to persuade Xu Fei, Xu Fei had an idea of her own, she was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, this matter is so decided, there is Granny Xu." ”

A difficult thing has finally been explained, and it will be left to fate in the future.

Pang Meng felt relaxed, beckoned everyone to sit down, spread out a silk map, pointed and said: "Shuofang to Chang'an can walk on the county road, 1,800 miles." The weather is also starting to cool down, just walking. I have calculated that in the past, it would take 36 days for prison guards to travel 50 miles a day, so I will give me a few more days, and the time limit will be 45 days, and I will definitely be able to go to Chang'an. If you travel by car, horse, boat or boat, the time is shorter. Today, on the first day of the eighth lunar month, we agreed to assemble in front of the main gate of the Chang'an Tingwei Mansion at noon on September 15. Do you understand? ”

Everyone nodded again and again, only Song Bo and Xu Yu looked embarrassed, and Song Bo sneered: "This trip is more than 1,000 miles, and I am afraid it will not be easy to eat and stay all the way." ”

Pang Meng expected that they had never gone far away, so he was worried, so he comforted: "From here to Chang'an, it is an official road, and there is a post station for dozens of miles, so you don't have to worry." After thinking for a while, he said to everyone: "You go first, after I finish that important matter, I will rush over, and I will definitely come to Chang'an before September 15 to meet you."

will be released from prison soon, and everyone is also very excited, talking about it one after another.

Pang Meng slowly glanced at it, and said with a serious expression: "I am risking a lot of responsibility to be imprisoned this time, if any of you abscond or miss the appointment, I will also sit together." However, the sky net is restored, where can the guilty escape? If you are confused for a while, not only will it be difficult to protect yourself, but it will also affect everyone. He raised his voice again: "The case file document has been passed to the Tingwei Mansion." Therefore, it is indispensable for people to commit crimes, and the date must not be mistaken. Do you understand? ”

Everyone replied in unison, "I understand."

Pang Meng stood up, and everyone also stood up together, and he handed over the wooden talisman with his name and the date of going to the Tingwei Mansion to everyone, saying that with this talisman, he could pass the pass when he met the pass, and he could get food and lodging when he met the post station. The crowd carefully put it away.

Pang Meng pointed to the money bags piled up in the corner of the wall again, and said, "This is the entanglement of escort prisoners issued by the county government, and I will also distribute it to you, according to five wen per person per day, two hundred and twenty-five wen per person." ”

Based on local prices, the two hundred and twenty-five dollars are worth two hundred. If they are escorted by prison guards, these entanglements will go into their pockets, and the prisoner's family will have to pay some money in the hope that the prisoner will not suffer during the escort.

Pang Meng said again: "With the county prison talisman, you can eat and stay at the post station, and you don't need to spend money." ”

Zhang Xiaoyi pursed his lips and said, "Who can stand the food and lodging at the post station." ”

Guo Cong glared at him, he stuck out his tongue and hurriedly flashed to the side.

Everyone went over to retrieve the money bag, Zhang Xiaoyi picked up a bag and checked it, jingled, put it on his shoulder again, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it weighs three catties."

Song Niang and Xu Yu are not human criminals, so they are not entangled. Pang Meng called the two of them, gave each a bag, and said, "This is my coil, it's hard to go to Chang'an, you can use it." ”

Guo Cong was also moved by compassion, and he didn't care about this money, so he wrapped the plate sent to him to Song Niang. Qiu Qian's rich son hid some broken gold in his sleeves, and he didn't care about this money, so he wrapped the plate around Xu Yu. One old and one young are grateful.

Pang Meng glanced at everyone again, and solemnly saluted: "You all want to go to Chang'an to avenge your grievances, and you should do it yourself." See you at the Governor's Mansion on September 15. ”

Guo Cong also saluted: "Make the gentleman kind-hearted, how dare we live up." See you in Chang'an on September 15. ”

Pang Meng took special care of him: "You are all guilty people, don't cause trouble on the road." Everyone nodded in unison.

Pang Meng smiled: "Then don't leave it at that." "Send everyone out of the county jail.

When everyone left, he still stood at the door in a daze, muttering in his heart: "Chang'an is so far away, but I have done this unprecedented thing." In a month and a half in Chang'an, what kind of situation will I face? He shook his head, not daring to think about it again.

A few leaves floated up, and he looked up at the sky, and a large dark cloud came rushing over, and then he looked at the street, and the wind blew, and the dust on the side of the street was rolled into a line, and swam forward like a snake. Suddenly, the raindrops the size of beans fell, crackling and smashing on the ground, and the dust splashed up, which was quickly washed away by the rain. The rain became heavier and heavier, the wind became more and more fierce, and only the white rain and mist flew between the sky and the earth.

Pang Meng stood under the eaves and let the rain pillar wet his clothes.

In the evening, the drizzle was faint, and there were no stars or moons until night.
