>>283610095>as long as you return you will be acquittedI'm pretty sure that actually happened irl
>>283610095Oh yeah, Edo was one of those tinderbox cities where a single fire could easily spread out of control in the wrong conditions.
>>283610281Thanks, anonsito.
For the first time, I am confuse. Did Kikuchi flee during the fire and the magistrate does not know, Or was he there to hear the ultimatum and then decided to run through town for the hell of it.>return within 3 days and be acquittedSo they letting murderess and rapists wander for a few days, then will release them permanently provided they come back? That's a little too humane for my liking.
>>283610281Thank you for posting.
>>283615413>So they letting murderess and rapists wander for a few days, then will release them permanently provided they come back? That's a little too humane for my likingMaybe they were lying or the people imprisoned there hadn't committed serious crimes. Who knows
>>283615413Maybe a mistranslation? I assumed it meant they'd get a reduced sentence.
>>283615413My impression is that Kikuchi fled without looking back and probably isn't even aware of the magistrate's edict. At any rate, without a prison the law is in a bit of a bind. I presume that anyone who really deserved the death penalty would have been dealt with already, so giving a second chance to any prisoners who can demonstrate a modicum of civility doesn't seem like the worst idea. It does strike me as a particularly lazy idea on the magistrate's part though, he clearly doesn't want to work too hard.
