In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor of Qin, Chen Yan failed to escape for the third time while on death row.
The jailer sneered: "Fugitive slave Chen Yan, with this mark on your face, even the King of Hell will recognize you!"
However, he curled up in the corner and drew the articles of "Qin Law: Law of Death" on the soil with his fingers: "The dead... Who come out by themselves will be reduced to three levels..."
The next day in court, he recited the full text of "Legal Questions and Answers" in court, pointing out that the sentence lacked the "self-evident" plot - the sentence was changed from execution to defense.
Everyone thought he would die in the frontier fortress, but he used the law to climb up step by step: solving the military and horse case, reforming the beacon system, fighting the Huns, checking household registration, overthrowing the prime minister, and establishing the laws of the Western Regions...
But what he cared about most was always the medical woman in the medicine house.
Before she died, she said: "Shou Zheng, what I want to heal most in my life... Is the wound in your heart."
Two thousand years later, an archaeological team discovered a wooden tablet under the beacon:
"Wantang has been away for three years. Last night, I dreamed that he was collecting medicine in Nanshan and called "Shou Zheng" with a smile. When I woke up, the fire was bright..."
He kept the laws of the Han Dynasty and the beacons of the Western Regions, but in the end he only wanted to keep one person.
