Chapter 296

Dungeon!

That is, the prison of the Ministry of punishment is the place where the imperial court imprisons serious criminals. Usually, few people who enter the prison can survive. As ordinary people, this place is extremely mysterious and terrible, so it is called the prison.

The news that Li Shimin pardoned 390 prisoners on death row caused an uproar in Chang'an City and naturally spread to the prison. In the prison, all the condemned prisoners cheered and shouted for his Majesty's benevolence.

In the most heavily guarded area of the prison, the robbers and fierce wolves in prison clothes are kneeling piously towards the palace

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. If you go out in the future, you will certainly turn over a new leaf and be a new man!"

He committed a crime years later. Merton painted his face with new painting skills and was finally arrested. According to the Convention, he will be executed after this autumn. According to his crimes, he will die more than ten times. Originally, he was desperate. However, the news of Li Shimin's pardon of death prisoners gave him hope.

The fierce wolf of the robber has a pious face, which is like a reform. The original ferocious face has also become downcast.

However, in the heart of the thief and the fierce wolf, he said: "are these dead prisoners stupid? They returned home with such good luck and were pardoned by the dog emperor. If I go back, I don't know where to escape. No, I have to find the Mo family before I leave to get justice.

The thief and fierce wolf involuntarily felt a trace of hatred in his heart. He had never missed for many years and relied on caution. However, he didn't expect to encounter the evil spirit of the Mo family and draw his head with the dictation of a survivor.

How can he not repay such a great revenge? The thief and fierce wolf secretly hated in his heart and prayed piously in his mouth to praise Li Shimin's benevolence.

"Stop shouting, you can't go out." a dead voice came from the next cell.

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

"Hahaha! I thought you were a resounding figure. I didn't expect you to be so naive! Do you really think those dead prisoners came back voluntarily?" the death penalty inmates in the adjacent prison couldn't help laughing and crying.

"Why, what's the secret?" the thief fierce wolf couldn't help but be stunned.

"The dead prisoners released last year are all family members. Your majesty will release them. If they want to escape, I'm afraid the whole family will be implicated. Moreover, the officials of the Ministry of punishment clearly announced that if they can return as scheduled, they will certainly reduce their crimes. Do you think they will come back?" the death prisoners in the adjacent prison said madly.

"How do you know?" the thief wolf didn't believe.

The death prisoner in the adjacent prison gnashed his teeth and said angrily, "because I was the death prisoner last year! I have been imprisoned since I was not bound by my family.

"Ah!" the thief and the fierce wolf suddenly looked silly. He didn't expect such a secret.

"Do you have a family?" asked the death row prisoner in the neighboring prison.

The thief and the fierce wolf shook his head decadent. Only when he was alone all his life could he commit such a heinous crime.

The thief and the fierce wolf immediately felt as if they had been drained of their energy and spirit, and their eyes were dull.

With a squeak, the door of the death row was heavily opened, and a team of prison guards poured in. A bowl of rich dishes, including chicken and meat, was placed in front of the dead prisoners. Compared with the previous meals, it was a good sky.

However, everyone knows that this meal is a decapitation meal to make them a full ghost.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the prison.

"It's impossible. Last year's death row prisoners have been released. Why has it changed this year?" one death row prisoner couldn't believe it and shouted.

Other prisoners on death row also made an uproar and shouted:

"We have family!"

"I'm a famous filial son. After I'm released, I'll return as scheduled."

"My wife and children..."

………………

Death row inmates in other cells shouted loudly, but there was no response.

The death prisoner in the adjacent prison said coldly, "Your Majesty's good reputation has been established. How can you violate the law and discipline again? If someone makes a fool and runs away, will your Majesty's reputation fall short.

Only then did the dead prisoners wake up like a dream and feel like mourning.

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

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

Immediately, the whole death row was crying, and everyone was greedy for life and death. Yesterday, because of today's results, the evil results that had been done were finally rewarded.

"Dizzy king!"

A group of dead prisoners first wailed and then cursed loudly. They cursed how unfair Li Shimin was compared with the pardoned death penalty prisoners before. They didn't think of the crimes they had committed and how unfair the victims were.

Only last year's death row inmates laughed miserably and said, "ha ha, I'm lucky enough to live for a year. I'm not at a loss today."

After eating his own food, he saw that the food of the thief fierce wolf in the adjacent prison was still intact and said, "if you don't eat, I'll eat it!"

The once powerful and ferocious thief and wolf collapsed to the ground like a broken bone and tendon, and Li ignored it.

And now the appearance of Mohist school.

Seeing this, the death row inmates in the adjacent prison couldn't help but reach out and pick up the food. They took care of themselves and ate it.

According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, the execution of the death penalty had to be performed three times. However, this year's death penalty was approved by Li Shimin very quickly. Only three days after the death row was pardoned, a large number of prisoners on death row had been approved for execution.

Otherwise, it will take a long time. If the people think that after killing people, they can return home as scheduled, I'm afraid Datang will be in chaos immediately.

Downtown entrance of Chang'an City,

A large number of people poured into the downtown entrance. The annual beheading after autumn is the most popular activity in Chang'an city. It was a pity for the people of Chang'an city not to see it last year. This year, they finally got what they wanted.

"It's quarter past noon!" a criminal official shouted at the top of his voice, looking at the shadow of the sundial.

"Execution!"

At the command of the beheading officer, a token with a big word of beheading was thrown into the execution ground.

In the execution ground, the big robber, the fierce wolf and the death penalty prisoners happened to be divided into the same group for execution. They looked at each other and clearly saw their great fear in each other's eyes.

The thief and the fierce wolf wanted to shout. I was still a hero 18 years later, but there was only a wail in the face of the executioner's high sword.

The knife flashed and the head fell to the ground.

In the face of the bloody execution scene, all the onlookers could not help but keep silent. Even the ferocious people in peacetime could not help but be afraid of such a scene.

This is the real essence of legalism. We can't help punishing crimes and deterring crimes.

If everyone abides by the law, the world will be peaceful, the society will be stable, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Naturally, the country will be rich and the people will be strong.
