Chapter 251 Yuan Ya pretends to be sick
In ancient times, prisoners also served their sentences and underwent labor reform.
Generally speaking, they were sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall or to "build" the poor and remote areas.
Li Jize was different. He was not interested in developing the frontier and wanted to build up the territory he occupied first.
Prisoners of war are prisoners who need to undergo labor reform, and similarly, criminals also need to undergo labor reform.
Criminals in Qingzhou are mainly divided into two categories...
On the one hand, they are real criminals who were arrested for violating the laws of Qingzhou.
On the other hand, it is the landlords who are quite miserable.
These people either resisted taxes or refused to cooperate with the King of Qin's "land return" work, so they were all arrested.
Qingzhou's legal system has both good and bad sides. Generally, only the main culprit is executed, and others who are jointly responsible are sent to prison for reform.
Compared to the emperor who would execute nine clans or exterminate three clans at will, he was really too merciful...
The main thing is that Li Jize will settle the accounts. Killing nine generations of the family is a huge sin, which is secondary. The most important thing is that it is a waste of human resources!
Why doesn't he let these people build the road?
Especially if you want to pave cement roads on a large scale and over a large area, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources.
The male prisoners had to pave the road, and of course the female prisoners could not be left out either. They had to collect firewood, cook, and pound rice.
By the way, Li Jize actually carried out reforms in prisons.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as male and female prisoners. In the feudal era when men were superior to women, women were just subordinates! Who would build a prison specifically for women?
What happens after a woman breaks the law?
Jiaofangsi!
And the guards are usually men!
Here, female prisoners become tools for venting desires and making money.
Therefore, if an official committed a crime in ancient times, the emperor would impose the highest punishment of executing all nine generations of his clan and sending all the female members of his family to the Jiaofangsi.
There's no such thing in the Qin King's territory. If a woman commits a crime, she'll be sentenced just like a man! Serve your sentence!
Moreover, there are special cells for women and female guards!
The male prisoners transported sand and gravel and paved the roads, while the female prisoners cooked, collected firewood, and mixed mortar.
Poor Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan, they were not treated differently. They were directly arrested and mixed with a group of female prisoners, and were taught to work! If they didn't work, they would have no food to eat.
Yes, you think you are eating government food when you go to jail?
You have to earn your own living!
Wang Yuanya, who had been cursing the King of Qin with gritted teeth just now, was almost in tears.
Li Jize, ah Li Jize, you bastard! You are really cruel!
You might as well give me a quick kill.
Do you think I will give in? I won’t!
Just do it. I’m not your delicate queen.
result……
At the end of the day, my hands were covered with blisters, and it was so painful when they broke.
She had never done it before, and neither had Zhang Xiaolan. Both of them couldn't stand it after just one day.
That night, they arrived at a new prison.
There are no single cells for them here. All the female prisoners are held together, and they have to continue working tomorrow.
Poor Zhang Xiaolan and Wang Yuanya were trapped in this dirty cell, with no tears to cry.
If I had known this would happen, I would never have come as an envoy. If I had known this would happen, I would not have provoked Li Jize in the first place.
"Yuan Ya, you're such a fool! Why did you goad him that day? We were doing fine in prison. My sister and I, no matter how bad our situation was, didn't have to share a cell with others, eat stale food, or work hard! Because you provoked him, he treated us like the other prisoners."
Zhang Xiaolan didn't want to say anything about her good sister at first, because she also felt that Wang Yuanya was right and her scolding was good!
But after a day of hardship, exhaustion, and the wheel of a car running over her face, she suddenly felt that Wang Yuanya was too stupid.
Why would you do something like this? Isn't it good to be alive?
Wang Yuanya was also angry after hearing what her best friend said. She raised her head and said, "We know him...we know him..."
Did you know that he was so heartless? That he didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife?
What a dog, he turns hostile at the drop of a hat!
"Oh, Yuan Ya! We are at the mercy of others. We are their prisoners now. They can do whatever they want to us! We won't gain anything by provoking them, so why bother?"
After Zhang Xiaolan suffered a lot, she finally regretted it and began to have a "Buddha's heart".
I don't remember who woke Wang Yuanya up in the middle of the night, saw the soldiers gathering, and asked him to find a way to notify the rebel army.
It can be said……
Wang Yuanya is getting deeper and deeper into this path, and her "bad friend" has contributed greatly to this.
"Then...then what can we do now?"
Originally, Wang Yuanya wanted to be tougher, but when she saw the blisters on her fair and smooth hands, which were burning with pain, she finally couldn't bear it and had to give in.
"What else can we do? Of course we have to apologize and say something nice! We are criminals now, prisoners! If we don't let Li Jize pardon us, do we really have to work hard for the rest of our lives?"
"Can……"
Wang Yuanya looked around, then lowered his head and muttered, "This isn't the prison we were in before! Even if we want to see Li Jize, we can't!"
"Hey, this isn't easy, just look at me!"
In order to avoid having to "go to work" and endure more hardship tomorrow, Zhang Xiaolan stood up and walked to the prison door. After taking a deep breath...
"Someone come! Someone's dead! Someone's going to die!"
As expected, no matter which dynasty or era, as long as there were no deaths, it wouldn't be a big deal. Once someone died, everyone outside would immediately run away as fast as they could.
A fierce woman in a police uniform shouted directly inside, "What are you howling about?"
"Someone's dead!"
Zhang Xiaolan turned her head away and kept winking at Wang Yuanya. The latter was stunned and reacted. She tilted her head, stuck out her tongue, and leaned against the wall.
The officer came closer and looked at Wang Yuanya. She said unhappily, "Wait! I'll go notify the coroner!"
what?
Oh my god! Just notify the coroner to collect the body?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolan grabbed the policewoman's clothes, and the latter panicked, thinking that she was trying to snatch the key.
He swung the whip in his hand and lashed it out several times, cursing, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Get out of here! Or I'll chop off your souvenirs!"
"No!"
Zhang Xiaolan was also a ruthless person. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know who she is?"
"I don't care who she is?"
"She is the wife of the current King of Qin, the Princess of Qin! If anything were to happen here, do you know what the consequences would be?"
"Ok?"
After hearing this, the servant's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Princess Qin? She's in prison? Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask someone who knows the inside story! If you throw stones at her today, tomorrow it will be your whole family's turn to come in!"
