I Transmigrated into a Condemned Prisoner and Turned the County Office Upside Down at the Execution Ground

The day he transmigrated, Lu Zhao was kneeling on the execution ground.

The execution list bore two names: father and son, both to be executed at the third quarter of noon.

Before the blade fell, he asked just one question:

“Those who have not yet come of age are given a lesser sentence. Under what law was this commoner put on the execution list?”

A flaw in the seal verification stopped the blade.

From halting the execution to a retrial by the Provincial Surveillance Commission, from the county deputy magistrate’s imprisonment to reopening an old shipwreck case, he wielded the same weapons every time: the Great Yong Code and the account book his mother had left behind.

But behind the county yamen stood the prefecture, and behind the prefecture stood the imperial capital, Tianjing.

Someone burned the account book. Someone slipped poison into his prison meal. Someone used a privately forged official seal to alter the court documents.

The law could stop a blade, but could it hold back the deeper currents?

This is a long game of law and blades.

A condemned man fights to live, a legal advocate seeks justice, and an aspiring official strives to bring order.

Every move follows the law, yet each step is more perilous than the edge of a blade.
