The last court appearance was late at night.
Under the three-wood torture rack, Wang Luzhen was stripped of his shirt, his arms were tied behind his back, and he was hung between the beams of the cold execution chamber. When the iron was pressed against his shoulder blade for the third time, he heard the flesh "squeak", but he gritted his teeth and could not make a sound.
On the last night before the Autumn Battle, a voice penetrated the darkness of the prison: "Wang Luzhen, you have a glimmer of hope."
Li Qing, the Minister of Justice, stood at the foot of the stairs, his voice was like gold and stone hitting each other, and every word seemed to have been quenched in ice water.
On the seventeenth day's return trip from Chang'an to Huaijiang, the shackles and the scabbard collided with each other, making a strange sound. One is a death row prisoner who would rather break than bend, and the other is a selfless criminal. However, in the rainy night of Baqiao and the dangerous waves of Danjiang River, they discovered a conspiracy that was deeper than an unjust case. When "the red snake blocks the road", when the old oaths turn into bloody testimonies, they must fight for the truth in a death situation that has been prepared for a long time.
"Yi Yu's heart is kind, and even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets."
An ancient suspenseful legend about redemption and awakening, in the countdown to the execution of the Queen of Autumn, is heading towards an ending that no one can predict.
Purpose: Official conspiracy, mutual redemption
