Chapitre 490: Chapter 489: Ambushed_1

Something big happened in Yongze County, the chief clerk Bai, who was supposed to be executed after the autumn, died unexplainably in prison!

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago, there had always been a rule of "execution in the fall or winter." Except for those who committed treason or extremely heinous offenses, who were executed immediately, all other condemned prisoners had to wait until after the first frost of autumn, before the winter solstice, before they were executed.

The first frost was coming soon. With the sudden death of Chief Clerk Bai, as the parent-like official of Changze County, he naturally couldn't delay. He had to prepare for the journey, and he had to leave for Changze County the moment the sky lighted the next day.

Su Pan'er had planned to follow Qin Yi to his new post once the baby in her belly was four months old.
