Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 506 Amnesty and Release from Prison

   Long live the joy of having two sons, the whole world celebrates together, the world is amnesty, the city of Kang'an is decorated with lanterns, and the three cities of east, west and south are carnival all night. The businessman Jiang Liu sensed a business opportunity. She immediately called Xue Xiawan and Hua Xiangrong's stewards. Within three days, she launched the Potian Celebration Set Gift Box to the market. In three days, more than 400 taels of five stores were credited. Jiang Liu Happy to count the silver in my dreams at night.

   After making money, it is natural to buy good things to reward yourself for your hard work. So Jiang Liu got the consent of his grandmother and went out to hang out with his three sisters. The second sister's foot injury has mostly healed. Although she can't move around much, she can still go out in a carriage.

  The first stop for the four sisters of the Jiang family was West Market. After Jiang Erye took office, the prosperity of the West City has surpassed that of the East City, becoming the busiest place in Kang'an City. The Jiang sisters sat in the carriage, each holding a bowl of cold water with licorice and ice, watching the liveliness outside the window with relish.

   "Licorice Ice and Snow Cool Water" is similar to modern shaved ice. But now that the four sisters are rich, eating ice will not feel bad for these few pennies.

   When he was transferred to the gate of the Xicheng Bingmasi prison, Jiang Liu actually found that there were more people here than those who watched the monkey show in the city center. Only after inquiring did I find out that after the imperial decree of Long Live Amnesty was issued, the prisoners who met the conditions for the "Amnesty" will be released today.

   It was so lively that the four sisters of the Jiang family came to the window, each holding an ice bowl, and looked out while eating.

   "Is that Kong Quanwu who wears a khaki shirt and a tulle cap?" The sharp-eyed Jiang Muyan asked.

   "No, I remember that Kong Quanwu was very fat." Jiang Mujin took a sip of ice water.

   Chubby Jiang Liu swallowed the fruit in his mouth and replied, "It's him, he has lost weight for a long time, and Kong Neng is about to be released."

  Kong Neng was imprisoned because he was instructed at first to arrest Jiang Song and his son Jiang Ling and imprison him without questioning indiscriminately. Jiang Song was almost poisoned by the Meng family when he was in prison. For this reason, Jiang Muzheng hated Kong Neng very much. Hearing that Kong Neng was about to be released, her willow leaves frowned and asked in a low voice, "Liu Mei, didn't Kong Neng sentenced to six years in prison? How can you be released after three years?"

Jiang Liu, who often comes out to wander, is the most well-informed among the four sisters. "Because Long Live has two sons, the force of amnesty is stronger than ever. There is a condition for amnesty, and there is one on it: 'Serving prison time'. Those who are less than half, but have reached 40% and have performed well in repentance can also be forgiven and go home to make a new life.”

   "So it is." Jiang Muzheng nodded lightly.

The prisoners serving their sentences are not locked in the prison every day to eat idle meals, but also take turns to work under the supervision of the prison guards. When there is a major project such as opening a canal, building a city wall, and opening a mountain, they will be pulled over with shackles. Work hard. "Behaving well" means doing hard work when you go out as a coolie.

  Is Kong Neng spared no effort? Jiang Liu is not sure, but she knows that Kong Quanwu spared no effort and money in order to make Kong Neng rated as "good performance".

  When the side door of the soldier Ma Siyamen opened, Jiang Erye walked out with the deputy commander He Daobin and Dian Shi Qulunxue. The excitement of the crowd and the people waiting for their family members to be released from prison reached its peak. Seeing Daddy's serious appearance, Jiang Liu couldn't help but get excited, Daddy is so handsome...

   "The slave family waited for an hour, and Mr. Jiang finally came out." A flamboyant woman couldn't help being excited.

   "How about cousin, how is our commander in Xicheng better than your cousin Jun?" a little girl asked her friend.

   "Cousin Jun looks better!" The little girl next to her insisted.

  …

When Jiang Liu listened with interest to the two little girls arguing about who was more beautiful, her father had finished his lecture, and He Daobin began to read out the conditions for the prisoner's amnesty, and explained the meaning of the conditions to the people one by one. Finally, Qu Lunxue began to read out the amnesty. List of prisoners and which amnesty conditions they meet.

   Every time Qu Lunxue read a person, the relatives of that person cheered, and the people watching the fun also joined in the fun, and the cheers became louder and louder. Jiang Erye heard a smile on his face, so fascinated that Cousin Jun's little sister outside Jiang's carriage couldn't help screaming along.

   After Qu Lun finished studying, Jiang Erye said a few more words, and ordered the prison door to be opened, and the prisoners who were cleaned and changed into new clothes lined up. Jiang Liu saw Kong Neng among the pardoned prisoners at a glance.

  Without him, because this fellow has been imprisoned for two and a half years, his face is only two circles smaller than before, and he has not lost his appearance. It seems that he has been doing well in prison for more than two years. Kong Neng followed the prisoners to kowtow to thank him, Jiang Erye waved his robe sleeves, Kong Quanwu was the first to rush to his son, hugging him and crying. Jiang Liu's aunt Kong Shi didn't know where to get out of it, and she also stepped forward and patted her younger brother's shoulder, tears streaming down her face.

  Kong Quanwu's white hair and thin body are in stark contrast to his son, making people feel that he is the one who has just been released from prison, which is embarrassing.

   The relatives of the remaining prisoners all gathered around, crying or laughing. There were also prisoners who had no one to pick them up. After getting up, they looked around blankly, then lowered their heads and left sadly. Many people who did not wait for their relatives to be pardoned gathered around Jiang Erye, questioning, begging, and crying incessantly.

   Among these people, Jiang Liu and Jiang Muyan discovered their eldest uncle Wang Fangyu, and those who stood with Wang Fangyu were all detained in Xicheng Bingmasi prison, relatives of prisoners in the An Meng Zhulian case.

   Erye Jiang patiently explained to them, "The An Meng case has not yet been finalized. They are not among the pardoned prisoners in this batch. There will be news soon after the third division drafts the regulations."

   "Lord Jiang, what time will it be soon?" An old woman asked again and again with tears in her eyes.

   Jiang Erye replied, "It takes ten days to be slow, and three days to fast."

   "Can I ask the adults for permission to let the little woman visit my daughter in the prison?" the old woman asked again.

   Jiang Erye nodded and instructed He Daobin and the head of the cell, "Go ahead and make arrangements. The prisoners in the cell who have not been pardoned will be allowed to visit by two relatives today."

"Yes."

   "Thank you sir, thank you sir!" After everyone thanked him, they gathered in front of He Daobin and the prison head, waiting to enter the cell to visit their relatives.

  Wang Fangyu folded his fists towards Jiang Erye, then turned and walked towards his husband-in-law, who was crying bitterly with his brother-in-law in his arms. Seeing his brother-in-law coming, Kong Neng immediately shouted, "Brother-in-law, we have to set up two tables for a drink today!"

   Wang Fangyu's face sank, and Mrs Kong spoke first, "Place, sway! Brother and sister are already preparing at home, let's go home!"

   Seeing that the uncle followed the Kong family, Jiang Muyan discussed with her sister, "I don't know if my grandmother can get the news. Let's send someone to Shengpingfang to deliver a letter?"

  This is what it should be done, Jiang Liu nodded. The person sent to deliver the letter soon returned, reporting that Mrs. Wang was unwell and could not go out. They only asked them to bring a bag of clothes, and asked the Jiang sisters to send her to the prison on her behalf and hand it over to Uncle Wang.

   Thanks to the book friends for their generous rewards, the first one will be sent today.
