Chapter 6 Amnesty to the world
Night, hour of Hai.
All the officials and prisons in Chang'an City were illuminated by torches.
The eunuch led the palace guards and rushed into prison with great might and inspected the people who were registered in prison.
They were all killed regardless of gender, age, or severity of crimes.
The eunuch Guo Rang took the guards and did not go to the Yeting Prison or the Tingwei Prison. Instead, he excitedly went straight to the county prison where Liu Bingyi was imprisoned, and was determined to kill the prince's lineage and eliminate the roots!
Bingji has already received the news.
When Guo Rang came here with dozens of guards with murderous aura, he saw a hundred soldiers holding sharp soldiers, waiting for the battle outside the prison room.
More than a dozen prisoners, holding weapons, with a cold face, were guarding the door of the prison room, and were all staring at them fiercely.
Guo Rang was stunned for a moment and quickly said sharply: "Your Majesty's imperial edict, let us re-register the thief in prison, and kill him without any hesitation!"
However, no one gave way.
Guo Rang was furious and shouted: "Can you rebel?"
At this time, the soldier A made way out, Bingji, wearing an official uniform, walked out, looked at him with a faint expression and said, "It's too late for Guo Huangmen, and the prisoners are resting. Please come again tomorrow."
Guo Rang sneered and stared at him and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an order, I dare not delay it, please get out of here!"
Bingji stood there without moving, still looking at him and said, "Guo Huangmen should still be asked to go back."
Guo Rang was furious and said with a stern face: "Bingji! This is your Majesty's order. Do you dare to resist the order and not obey it?"
Bingji bowed to the palace in the distance and said, "I should abide by Your Majesty's orders. But if Your Majesty is deceived by a traitor and kills innocent people in vain, I should remind you and make a decision. I will enter the palace to meet the saint early tomorrow morning. Please come back to Guo Huangmen."
Guo Rang smiled grimly and said, "Bingji, I will give you the most chance. Get out of here immediately! The prisoners in this prison are all traitors, and it is not a pity to die! Your Majesty is kind, and it is a grace to reward them with a whole body! If you dare to stop them again, be careful that I will sue you for your resistance and disobey the order!"
After saying that, he immediately waved to the guard behind him and shouted coldly: "Go in! Whoever dares to stop him will kill him, don't worry!"
"Bang!"
The guards directly pulled out the weapons in their hands and surrounded him and wanted to go over.
Bingji immediately shouted angrily, stopped in front of him, and said angrily: "Who dares? The emperor's grandson is here! Others must be killed innocently, let alone the emperor's grandson? Who dares to go further and kill!"
"kill--"
More than a hundred soldiers behind Bingji suddenly raised the spear in their hands and shouted at each other. Guo Rang and the guards changed their faces and stopped in a hurry.
The weapons in the hands of those guards were almost scared.
These soldiers are all brave soldiers who have been on the battlefield and killed people. How could they be able to fight against a few guards who have been in the palace for many years and have never seen blood.
In this county prison, they only obeyed the orders of the Supreme Chief Tingwei Right Supervisor Bingji.
Guo Rang's face turned pale, his legs were trembling, and he said with a stern look: "Bingji! You disobey the emperor's order and wait for beheading!"
Bingji stood in front, glaring at him, still moving and shaking, like a rock.
Guo Rang was frightened and did not dare to go in or leave. For a moment, he was at a loss.
The two sides were in a stalemate until dawn.
In the prison room.
Liu Bingyi and others who were awakened were worried all night.
Wei Yan comforted: "It's okay, Lord Bingji will not let them in."
Liu Bingyi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the Lord will protect us like this. Your Majesty will be angry and will affect the Lord and the soldiers and prisoners."
The other prisoners were also frightened and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and we will not survive."
Seeing that everyone was frightened and desperate, Wei Yan was pessimistic, so he could only say, "Don't worry too much. Lord Bingji's upright resistance this time may make His Majesty awaken. Maybe... Your Majesty will be kind to the world and amnesty, and we will be released from prison."
As soon as these words were spoken, the prisoners next to them all smiled bitterly.
Xiaodong and Xiaoxi's mother Chen hugged the little brother and sister, and said with red eyes: "Young master is too optimistic. Your Majesty has ordered us to beheaded. Tonight, Lord Bingji will definitely be furious and behead us immediately. There is no room for anything."
The other prisoners were also desperate and sad, and shed tears silently.
Everyone knows the current state of Emperor Wu, cold-blooded, cruel and bloodthirsty, and hundreds of thousands of people have died because of this. How could he forgive them?
Liu Bingyi leaned against the wall and looked outside calmly, without fear or panic, as if he had known the ending.
After dawn, Guo Rang took the guards to retreat angrily and rushed to the palace to meet Emperor Wu, accusing Bingji of resisting the order.
Bingji asked Shi Jia to continue to guard the situation and went home first to inform his family about the situation last night.
The family suddenly felt like they were bolt from the blue and cried like a bunch.
He disobeyed the imperial edict and killed the whole family.
Bingji returned to prison, entered the cell, came to Liu Bingyi's prison room, and suddenly knelt on the ground, performed the courtesy of his ministers, and said in a deep voice: "I am the only one who is wronged. I wanted to drag this case to wait for Your Majesty to wake up. Now it seems that the matter is irreversible. Your Majesty has become a murderous intention. I am powerless to do anything, so I will say goodbye."
Liu Bingyi hurriedly stretched out his hand out of the iron railing and bowed his body, saying, "Sir, please come up quickly. I will never forget my kindness. Now that things have come to this point, we all accept our fate, but it has implicated the adults. Bingyi feels guilty and feels deeply uneasy."
Bingji stood up slowly, wiped his tears, and said, "Young Master doesn't need to care about my duty."
Then he looked at Wei Yan, diluted the sad atmosphere, and said with a wry smile: "I just can't hear Mr. Wei's wonderful story again, I'm sorry."
Xiaoxi stood beside Wei Yan, pulled his clothes and said, "Brother Yan, when you get down, can you tell Xiaoxi a story?"
Wei Yan touched her head and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, Xiaoxi, we will be able to go out soon. After we go out, Brother Yan will tell you a story."
Bingji was slightly stunned.
The other prisoners shook their heads secretly, thinking that the young man came from a remote countryside and didn't know what was going on now, and sighed in their hearts.
Wei Yan looked at Bingji and said, "Please help us prepare some clean clothes. If we can have a place to take a shower, it would be great."
Bingji smiled bitterly, then nodded and said, "Since you are going to be beheaded, you can leave cleanly."
Wei Yan said, "No, sir, I mean, we can go out soon. We are going out alive."
As soon as these words came out, Bingji was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
A prisoner ran in excitedly and shouted: "Sir! Sir! News came from the palace that Your Majesty has an order to pardon the world! Pledge the world!"
In the second year of Houyuan.
Guo Rang failed to kill the emperor's grandson, and returned to the palace to meet Emperor Wu, impeached Bingji to resist the order.
Emperor Wu seemed to remember the emperor's grandson at this time, suddenly woke up and sighed, "This is what God asked him to do."
So, the whole world was amnesty.
All prisoners in prison survived because of Bingji.
