Li Kuan's face was gloomy, he wanted to see who had the courage to kill him, and then asked: "Since there are heavy siege, are you reappearing at the street corner of Xishi?"
"Thanks to His Royal Highness!" Li Kuan was even more surprised. The man explained: "If the Prince hadn't appeared suddenly, it would have been a way out, and because the appearance of the Prince had attracted everyone's attention, we would take this opportunity to shuttle through the crowd. Squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty."
Li Kuan recalled that the prince Li Chengqian rushed to the execution ground that day, and the officials who blocked him were knocked over by him. Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly bowed to greet him. Li Chengqian attracted the attention of everyone so that they could take advantage of it. "In addition, I waited to find that there were many killers ambushing near the execution ground at that time, and I waited for people to emerge and rushed to do it."
Destined in the dark!
If it weren't for Qian Wu, Zhang Chong, Leng Feng and others to get into the crowd, they happened to be the first to find out that for fear that Li Kuan would be dangerous, they did not hesitate to kill Li Kuan and Cui Ren and let them go.
"Do you know who did it?"
Everyone shook their heads and didn't know. They didn't know who was the secret agent. Even if they were chased and killed, they would fight with the officers and soldiers. They really couldn't think of anyone who wanted to put Li Kuan to death. Li Kuan didn't ask them when they didn't know. In short, he knew the reason why these people were late. It was enough to prove that he did not misunderstand the people, and the historical anecdotes are true. As for the person who wanted his life, Li Kuan believes that he will find out soon.
"Today you entered the dynasty to be tried by the emperor. Are you afraid?"
"If we are afraid, what shall we do when we come back?"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They were mentally prepared before they came back, and there is no regret in their hearts, even if they die, what are they to fear? Li Kuan's trust in them, how could they betray their faith? Even if they stolen their lives, they could not meet their families again, and even implicated their families because of themselves. It would be better to fight the whole family alone and die well!
Li Kuan sincerely admired them even though they died without regrets. In the face of life and death and promises, they chose to face death calmly and abide by their vows. How many people can do it? Most of them didn't choose to escape from birth, and promised to be worthless in the face of death!
"I want to ask, why did you commit heinous crimes?"
"The past is over, no need to mention it again!"
Li Kuan was a bit curious about the crimes they committed, in line with the beliefs of the Dali Temple officials. Although he can't reverse the case, it also allows him to understand the criminal psychology of these people. People are not born wicked, and many factors such as their growth environment and their own personalities have turned those who were supposed to be self-sufficient into criminals with numerous crimes.
Li Kuan saw that they didn't want to say more, and didn't want to get to the bottom. After all, everyone has his own secret. Although Li Kuan was curious as to why they embarked on this path of no return, even if they knew that they were forced to be helpless, compassion would not be able to change the heinous crime they committed.
It would be unfair to those who have died if they were let go, and they would not be able to explain to their relatives. Nowadays, mere execution of the first thief is an extrajudicial favor. Li Shimin ascended to the throne and proclaimed the emperor. Under the increasingly prosperous Tang Dynasty, when the Tang law was re-edited, it was stated that the law was based on forgiveness, which made the Tang law system treat criminals extrajudicial. Kaien said.
Penalties such as circulation, caning, whipping, and enlistment are the main punishments, while the death penalty is an unforgivable crime. It also highlights Li Shimin's policy of lenient and benevolent rule of the country. Li Kuan was very grateful for them for keeping his promise and not letting him down, and all he could do was to send them a ride before they set off on the road, and everyone was grateful for that. A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
In addition, Li Kuan urged them to keep secrets about things that were blocked. Without evidence, even if they were said to be useless, they would be charged with slander. At this time, it is better to do more than to do less, and Li Kuan will take care of the rest.
Li Kuan came out of Dali Temple Prison. Leng Feng and Shi Rui were waiting outside. Li Kuan looked up at the dim sky, unable to see many clouds. Before and after the winter, the weather in Chang'an is gloomy, the climate is getting colder and colder, and it feels cold when there is no wind on the road.
If the wind blows and feels a cold chill on his face, Li Kuan rubs his hands for a while, and feeling the cold outside makes him feel that the water in the capital is deeper than expected, especially if someone wants him to die. This incident aroused Li Kuan's interest.
"Enter the palace!"
Li Kuan watched the two men chase the horse they had prepared and jumped up. Leng Feng and Shi Rui followed closely. A rush of horseshoes drifted away. The three arrived in front of the imperial city gate. Li Kuan turned and dismounted and turned and said : "After the princess woke up, let me know that I was in the palace, so she didn't have to worry about it!"
Leng Feng and Shi Rui nodded and said yes, while Leng Feng stayed outside the city and waited for Li Kuan to return early, while Shi Rui went back home to convey the news. In fact, both of them understood that the reason Li Kuan said so was that he didn't want the princess to worry about it. After a brief period, Li Kuan didn't want to make Wu Jue feel scared anymore.

Chenshi started early!
The civil and military officials stood on each side separately, holding Yugui in hand, bowing and waiting for the edict. Following the high-pitched "Dawn See", the ministers bowed and moved forward step by step. At this time, no one dared to raise their heads, so they had to bow their heads. Looking at his feet, he took small steps to the Tai Chi Hall, and said: "Long live my emperor!"
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and said: "All the Qings are flat!" Everyone looked up at Li Shimin, and then heard him say: "Chuan Chu Wang Li Yun and Cui Ren enter the hall!"
Under all eyes, Li Kuan bowed and walked into the Tai Chi Hall. This was the second time he appeared above the early morning. The first time he was taken into custody, this time he came with his head held high, but in different circumstances, he was the same casually, bowing and saluting: "Long live my emperor!"
"Get up!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile, motioned Li Kuan and Cui Ren to stand aside, and then said: "Another eighteen death row prisoners will enter the hall!"
Eighteen people were detained to the Tai Chi Hall. Wearing prison uniforms, they were tied up by five flowers. They knelt on their knees and worshipped Li Shimin and did not stand up. Then Li Shimin exclaimed: "They are the 18 imprisoned death sentences by the king of Chu. Offense, can the officials have something to say?"
Everyone was silent. The officials who had quarreled with Li Kuan before bowed their heads in shame. They really didn't expect the 18 people to return. In fact, what happened in the execution ground yesterday has spread throughout the capital. They knew in their hearts that Li Kuan would be acquitted and released, even if he was guilty, he would not die.
"Although you have kept your promise and returned to Beijing to lay down the law, the law of the country cannot be tolerated and the sins cannot be forgiven. Therefore, the canonical punishment will be engraved at three noon tomorrow!" Seeing that no one was speaking, Wu Gonggong bowed himself and read Li Shimin's edict, even interrogating No crimes were declared directly.
The eighteen people did not have the slightest surprise. They had just returned to Beijing to lay down the law. Besides, they had no regrets anymore, and it didn't matter when they beheaded. Everyone thanked Li Shimin, the emperor, for giving them a day of survival, and then kowtow to thank Li Kuan. Li Kuan nodded blankly, watching them leave the Tai Chi Hall. (End of this chapter)
