Every generation of rulers in Daxia, during their reign, have distributed a certain number of Death Exemption Tokens to the favored members of the Royal Family or to important courtiers.
Father Emperor, however, had been ignoring court affairs for years, and hadn't issued a single Death Exemption Token for over a decade.
In these past years, Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing had turned the court into a veritable sea of blood and mountain of corpses.
Quite a few Death Exemption Tokens had been used up in previous years, and none had appeared in recent years. Unexpectedly, Marquis Yunyang still had one.
The Death Exemption Tokens had been issued by a previous emperor, and it was natural that subsequent emperors couldn't deny the ancestor.
Anyone who produced a Death Exemption Token could avoid death once for any crime except treason.
From Li Anning, Li Nuo learned about the Death Exemption Token and fell into a long silence.
