Yan Yi took a step back, dodging her hand, "You came back to Shanghe Village too late."
I rushed to the county government office, but it was already noon. The county magistrate was not there. By the time I went to find the county clerk to go to the execution ground, Meng Yongfu had already been beheaded.
As for his body, I'll keep it at the mortuary outside the city for you to dispose of as you see fit."
"How could this happen..." Meng Yun'er stammered, feeling all her strength drain away in an instant, and her knees buckled as she knelt on the ground.
