The grievance drum in front of Chang'an gate has not sounded for many years.

The drums rang through the sky and startled the people in the palace.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi is playing chess with Li Bin in the garden. Li Bin is the oldest in his harem. She is even older than emperor Hong Xiaodi, but she is also the most favored one. Compared with those girls who have just entered the palace, who are either arrogant and willful, or virtuous and virtuous, she is more charming and interesting.

What's more, her appearance is not old, she is still young and beautiful. In addition, she also needs the style that girls can't reach.

Therefore, whenever emperor Hong Xiao gets free, he doesn't like to go to the queen or other concubines, but only to the beautiful concubines. It seems that if you say a few more words with Li Bin, the fatigue and discomfort in the court hall can be swept away.

The same is true today.

The sunspot of emperor Hong Xiao has been swallowed up by the white son of Li Bin. This is the difference between Li Bin and other women in the palace. Those women are either really bad at chess, or they instinctively beat Hong Xiaodi, but they have to pretend to be inferior to the emperor and lose in his hands.

Only Li Bin always refused to let him at all, which was a rare true nature in this palace.

"I lost again." Emperor Hong Xiaodi shook his head with a smile.

"It's my concubine's good luck," said Li Bin with a smile, "the emperor will lose to me."

"Come on, I've never been as good as you in chess." he joked, "if you're a man, I must take you for my own use."

"My concubine can only play chess. I dare not interfere in world affairs." Li Bin took up her tea cup and sipped gently, "the men are too tired to do great things. My concubines can't wait to play chess in the garden every day. It's good to hide from fatigue and laziness, and I'm not in the mood to do these."

Without trace, Emperor Hong Xiao was raised a little higher.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi laughed more vividly. Duke Su, who stood to serve, sighed in his heart that the eldest daughter of the Ji family was powerful and could coax the emperor into obedience. Now the emperor's heart knot is nothing more than the power of becoming a king. The little emperor looked at it and didn't say it, but he had to be wary of the people around him fighting for power and profit. Anyway, Li Bin at least made the performance of unintentionally interfering in the affairs of the court, and the emperor trusted her more.

No emperor would be wary of such a little woman.

Just thinking, from the sky outside the palace, a few vague drums came from afar.

At first, the drum sound was not very clear. Later, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if the drummer had changed a strong one. The drum hammer was very heavy and the drum sound was great. Although it didn't seem to echo in my ears, I heard it very clearly.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi was stunned and asked, "what's going on outside?"

Su Gong said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to inquire now." He waved, summoned a waiter, and ordered him to say a few words. The waiter left for a moment. Not long after, he came back and bowed in front of emperor Hong Xiao and said, "back, your majesty, in front of Chang'an gate outside the palace, someone is playing a stone lion and beating a drum."

"Hit the stone lion and beat the wrong drum?" Hong Xiaodi was stunned.

"It's the second young lady of Shoufu's family," the waiter said cautiously, "he has arrived at Chang'an gate with the villagers of Tongxiang, Xiangyang. I heard that he came back this afternoon, so he went straight here."

Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Li Bin: "Oh? It's your sister's stepdaughter."

Li Bin smiled, "yes." He was also a little surprised and said, "I've heard some rumors outside before. I just always thought it was rumors, and it was someone else's false rumors. After all, I've seen the little girl, who is gentle and gentle, not like a troublemaker. I never thought the outside legend was true, and she really brought people to Beijing."

"Trouble?" Emperor Hong Xiao said, "it's not necessarily trouble. I know that if you want to play the drum of grievance, the person who plays the drum will have to sit down and flog 50. It's really trouble, and it's really not worth paying such a price." He stood up and said, "what's the matter? I'd better go outside myself and listen and see what they want to say. Duke Su, you come with me."

Father Su hurriedly followed.

Li Bin also quickly turned sideways and saluted emperor Hong Xiao to leave. She didn't follow up. After being with emperor Hong Xiaodi for so long, she also knew the emperor's temperament. When doing business, she had better avoid it. What the little emperor hated most was the interference in politics in the harem. At that time, Princess Liu, the mother of King Cheng, almost made king Cheng emperor with the favor of the former Emperor and the power of her mother's family. Had it not been for the Empress Dowager's involvement today, I'm afraid this position would not have been his.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi loves her. What he loves is that she never interferes in the affairs of the DPRK. It's the easiest thing for her.

But... Li Bin looked uncertain and thought that she couldn't see the reaction of emperor Hong Xiao about the case of Jiang Li and Xue family. When it comes to anger, it's clearly not an expression of anger. When it comes to support, it's not possible. The emperor became more and more happy and angry year by year. Many times, she could not distinguish the thoughts of emperor Hong Xiao.

As the daughter of the Ji family, she knew Ji shuran's troubles caused by Jiang Li in the Jiang mansion. Li Bin certainly didn't want Jiang Li to go smoothly, and even hoped to get rid of Jiang Li without bloodshed, as Ji shuran hoped.

But in the palace, although she was favored by the emperor, she had to be more cautious. She couldn't act rashly. She could only take one step at a time.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi came to the imperial study and sat down.

Constantly, internal servants came in and carefully reported the situation of Chang'an gate to him. When it comes to Jiang Li's words "there is more than one person who complains about his grievances, and a hundred people sit on a cane for 50, but only one and a half", his stretched face can't help laughing and scolding, "Jiang Yuanbai, an old fox, has a daughter who is also cunning!"

Duke Su looked aside. Although emperor Hong Xiaodi said so, the expression on his face was not a little angry. At least Jiang Li took the villagers to Beijing to complain about grievances and drums. For emperor Hong Xiao, there was no anger. Emperor Hong Xiaodi didn't mean to blame Jiang Li in his heart.

"Emperor, no one has complained at the foot of the emperor for more than ten years..." Su Gong said justly: "Miss Jiang Er has become a major event in Yanjing this time. How many pairs of eyes are staring at it."

"Grandpa Su, how do you think she did this?" Hong Xiaodi asked.

"This... I dare not guess." Su Gong said fairly, "I just don't know if Lord Jiang knows that Miss Jiang Er behaves like this."

"Of course not." Hong Xiaodi smiled, "this Miss Jiang family, who didn't even return to the Jiang family, hurried to Chang'an gate to complain about her grievances. It's really so urgent, and there's still some Kung Fu to return to the family. If Jiang Yuanbai, she would never be in such a hurry. It's obvious that Miss Jiang decided to kill first and then play again because she was afraid of accidents and was blocked by Jiang Yuanbai."

Duke Su looked at emperor Hong Xiao and said with a smile, "the second girl of the Jiang family is a clever person. The emperor rewarded her last time, but she was too brave. Miss aristocratic family, who dares to do these things? She also mixed with the common people."

"What's the matter with the common people?" Emperor Hong Xiaodi said, "the world is originally composed of ordinary people. Without ordinary people, there would be no rivers and mountains. Miss Jiang's Chuang Tzu, a member of the Ministry of household, ye Shijie, has presented it to me. I have seen it! I don't know if I don't see it. At a glance, I know that there are such rampant bandits at the foot of my rivers and mountains and the son of heaven!"

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly turned cold. Duke Su didn't dare to answer again, but he was very puzzled. YeShiJie, a member of the Ministry of household? When did ye Shijie present the folding to the emperor.

Now that ye Shijie has shown the emperor the notes about the Xue family case, and the emperor is such an attitude, we can understand a lot about the current situation. At least in the Xue family case, Miss Jiang family should be sure to make no mistakes.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at the fold in front of him. The indictment presented by Ye Shijie was naturally filled with the indictments of Feng Yutang, the county magistrate, and the story of Xue Huaiyuan's being wronged. To be fair, seeing alone was enough to make his emperor furious. But with this, it's OK to complain about grievances. If you are a saint, it's a little too much. Jiang Li brought so many Tongxiang people to Beijing, and the people of Yanjing city also watched helplessly. If this case is not handled well, his emperor will lose the support of the people. So Jiang Li is causing him trouble.

Weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Hong Xiaodi should not pay too much attention to this case. He should even mention Jiang Yuanbai and let him discipline his daughter well. After all, what does the matter of Tongxiang County Mayor have to do with her? She's not surnamed Xue.

But ye Shijie's complaint also mentioned one thing vaguely, which is of great significance. It is mentioned that the master behind Feng Yutang is Princess Yongning of Yanjing city. Princess Yongning also ordered Xue Huaiyuan to go to prison.

Princess Yongning is the biological sister of King Cheng. Emperor Hong Xiaodi had to wonder whether the purpose of Princess Yongning in doing this, aimed at the Xue family, would be the idea of King Cheng. It seems that Princess Yongning has nothing to do with the Xue family. For no reason, why should she harm Xue Huaiyuan. Xue Huaiyuan lives in Tongxiang and Yongning lives in Yanjing. Xue Huaiyuan can't offend Yongning.

First, there is something strange in it. Second, even if nothing can be found out, as long as this matter is implemented, Yongning's reputation will be hit, which may not be a good thing for Cheng Wang. If Cheng Wang doesn't die of evil, he must cherish his feathers. His sisters are so cruel and ruthless that he can do all kinds of evil. I'm afraid his feathers are also wasted.

Therefore, this case must be tried, not only to be tried, but also to be known all over the world. Only under his personal supervision can the best purpose be achieved.

At this moment, Emperor Hong Xiao couldn't say how pleasing he was to see ye Shijie and Jiang Li's cousins. If this case is not involved in Princess Yongning, it is an ordinary case. If it is involved, it is an excellent sword for Hong Xiao.

When someone puts the sword in his hand, he will never push it out. On the contrary, he will hold it tightly and stab his opponent. It is not in vain.

"Send the order down. The Ministry of punishment will be arraigned in three days, and I will personally supervise it." He said.

Duke Su retired.

……

In front of Chang'an gate, the drums of grievance were beating loudly.

Jiang Li had loosened the drumstick, and the people of Tongxiang rushed forward, as if to release all the resentment, suffering and depression they had been feeling for a long time, knocking loudly and loudly. Ping An crouched beside Dai Yun with her ears covered, giggling.

Everyone's face is not a resolution to die together, but a relaxed and hopeful smile.

This smile also infected the people of Yanjing who watched the excitement around. Somehow, there was also a trace of hope that Tongxiang county people could win the lawsuit and get the justice they dreamed of.

Feng Yutang, a few people in the prison car, had already turned pale. At this point, they no longer pray for miracles. Feng Yutang knew that Princess Yongning would not come to save him, and even sent someone to kill him. Maybe the person sent to kill him was already on the way. The princess dared to kill Jiang Li. He was nothing compared to grass mustard. In any case, Feng Yutang simply didn't think about it.

Soon, people from the Ministry of punishment came to hear the news, and Jiang Li handed over the complaint. People from the Ministry of punishment took Feng Yutang and his party away, saying that they would be arraigned in three days, and Emperor Hong Xiaodi personally supervised the handling.

After hearing the words "emperor Hong Xiaodi personally supervised", a stone in Jiang Li's heart finally fell to the ground. Although emperor Hong Xiaodi may be a good official, the case of Tongxiang is not as important as emperor Hong Xiaodi. The reason why he attached so much importance to it was that Princess Yongning was also involved.

An emperor who originally wanted to deal with Yongning to supervise this case was not fair at the beginning, which was the greatest fairness. Her ally is the most respected person in the world, at least on the surface, so she may have no resistance to this case.

It's really great.

The people of Tongxiang were settled by Ye Mingyu, and the government also sent people to protect these witnesses. The people in the province were killed. Jiang Li specially said that the person who wanted the Ministry of punishment, Jing Zhaoyin, was the person of Princess Yongning. Xue Zhao found Jing Zhaoyin at the beginning, but was informed by Jing Zhaoyin to Yongning. This was a waste of life. Jiang Li won't make the same mistake again. In addition, she also arranged Ye Mingyu's people to stare.

As for ye Mingyu and Xue Huaiyuan, they followed Jiang Li back to Jiang's house.

Xue Huaiyuan doesn't trust Jiang Li to give it to others. Moreover, for Jiang Li, Xue Huaiyuan is a little closer. When other people get close, Xue Huaiyuan sometimes becomes suddenly afraid. Ye Mingyu is afraid that Jiang Yuanbai will punish Jiang Li. With his uncle in charge, Jiang Yuanbai will restrain himself and dare not beat and scold Jiang Li openly.

So after the placement, Jiang Li and ye Mingyu returned to Jiang's house.

The gate of Shoufu mansion is closed today.

On weekdays, there are two gatekeepers outside the gate. Today, there is not even a gatekeeper. Naturally, no one came forward to meet them. Ye Mingyu carried the knife on his shoulder and said, "ah Li, it seems that your father is blaming you. He won't even let you in."

Bai Xue and tong'er are very worried. When Jiang Li returned to Beijing, she didn't go back to her mansion at the first time, but went to Chang'an gate to complain about her grievances, which disrupted Jiang Yuanbai's plans. Now it's done, and the Ministry of punishment's interrogation has come down. Even if Jiang Yuanbai wants to suppress this matter, it won't work. Naturally, he will anger Jiang Li.

"Not afraid." Jiang Li said frankly, "I've done more than this one wrong. I even killed my mother and brother at the beginning. Isn't it all right?" As she spoke, she walked to the door and gently knocked on the house door.

Ye Mingyu also choked. With Jiang Li, she felt that her bad reputation was quite glorious. Instead of avoiding it, she took the initiative to talk about it. However, ye Mingyu also felt that there was a problem with that matter. Jiang Li was her niece. These days, although she was sometimes cruel, she was still very kind, and sometimes she even had a kind of chivalrous demeanor of jealousy. Can such a good girl do harm? I'm afraid there's a story in it.

But now is not the time to say this. Stay until the next day and ask slowly.

The porter didn't come to open the door immediately, but the people passing by outside saw Jiang Li waiting, and felt that they were watching the excitement, so they were also watching. Ye Mingyu has a thick skin and doesn't feel anything. When someone looks at him, he just laughs. Pian Jiang Li was calm and patient. After waiting for a while, she didn't know whether the people inside couldn't help it. Finally, someone came to open the door.

The boy who opened the door saw Jiang Li and said, "second miss." Glancing at Ye Mingyu with a knife and Xue Huaiyuan supported by tong'er, he opened the door with a complicated complexion and said, "the old lady is waiting for you in Wanfeng hall."

Jiang Li and ye Mingyu entered Jiang's mansion.

Jiang Li said to tong'er and Bai Xue, "first help Lord Xue to my yard and take care of him. My uncle and I will go to Wanfeng hall."

After tong'er and Bai Xue left with Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang lichai and ye Mingyu went to the Wanfeng hall.

Just after entering the evening Phoenix hall, Jiang Yuanbai's violent cry came: "evil woman, kneel!"

Jiang Li raised her eyes and saw Jiang Yuanbai's angry eyes.

She sometimes even felt that Jiang Yuanbai, as a chief bachelor, was well-educated, but why every time he punished himself, it was always the sentence "evil woman kneeling", as if only this sentence was comfortable. But on second thought, this sentence is only for her. At least Jiang Li has never seen Jiang Yuanbai say this sentence to Jiang Youyao.

Maybe it's because Jiang Youyao didn't make trouble by herself, or because Jiang Youyao followed him since childhood, he was reluctant to let Jiang Youyao kneel, but it doesn't matter.

Kneel on your knees. Jiang Li didn't expect to be safe when she returned to Jiang's house this time. Jiang Yuanbai just let her kneel down and didn't whip her, so that she wouldn't suffer from flesh and blood. She should feel lucky.

She was about to kneel down. Ye Mingyu, who was beside her, was quick in hand and eyes. He grabbed her and shouted back at Jiang Yuanbai, saying, "kneeling is what kneeling is, why kneeling is what! Ah Li, listen, don't kneel!"

Jiang Yuanbai was furious: "I'm her father!"

"I'm still her uncle! Oh, it's her father who can make her kneel. Ah Li is still bleeding half of my Ye family's blood. Should I listen to the Ye family's words? I won't let her kneel. Besides, they all say that my nephew looks like an uncle. To speak of it, ah Li is not like you at all, or like me more, of course, you should listen to me!"

It's really unreasonable for a scholar to meet a soldier. It's true that Jiang Yuanbai is the chief scholar, but he really doesn't know what to say when he meets a rogue like Ye Mingyu.

Ji shuran looked at Jiang Li and said, "Li'er, at least he's your father. Others can't control you. Your father's manager has you. Your surname is Jiang or Ye."

Ye Mingyu heard the speech and turned to look at Ji shuran. Ji shuran was staring at him, and she stepped back and hid behind Jiang Yuanbai.

Jiang Li stood up and said, "Dad, it's your daughter's fault. The fault is that she shouldn't participate in the Xue family case without greeting you. After returning to Beijing, she didn't go back to the house first, but went to Chang'an gate to play drums and complain about her grievances. What's more wrong is that when she was in Xiangyang, she used your reputation to order the weaving room order and the people who ordered the weaving room order to investigate."

She made a mistake when she was young, and Xue Zhao made this move in front of Xue Huaiyuan. She admitted the mistake and admitted it with great sincerity. Jiang Yuanbai couldn't continue to scold her.

Plus there is another Ye Mingyu eyeing covetously on one side.

Old lady Jiang sat on the couch and said in a deep voice, "second girl, admit your mistake. Let's talk about it later. I'll ask you, how did you get involved in such a case when you were not related to the Xuejia county magistrate? You also brought so many villagers. I heard that you even brought the crazy criminal minister back to the house. Are you crazy? Do such things."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, "in fact, this matter is related to cousin Ye."

Ye Shijie? Not only the Jiang family, but also ye Mingyu looked at her.

"I can only tell my father about this." Jiang Li apologized, "can I talk to my father alone?"

Ji shuran laughed and said, "there is something we can't listen to... Pear, you..."

"This matter is of great importance. I think mother should stay out of it." Jiang Li interrupted her.

Ji shuran's smile froze.

Jiang Li returned to the house this time, more and more confident. Now she dared to treat her like this in front of the old lady and Jiang Yuanbai. Ji shuran clenched her teeth.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yuanbai with firm eyes. Jiang Yuanbai paused and suddenly said, "come with me."

Jiang Li burst into a smile: "OK, father."

She and Jiang Yuanbai came to Jiang Yuanbai's study.

No one is allowed to enter Jiang Yuanbai's study. Jiang Li has come for the second time. As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yuanbai closed the door and let someone guard it outside. He asked, "what's your idea? Why are you doing such an extraordinary thing? What does this have to do with Ye Shijie?"

"Father, in the case of Xiangyang Ye's antique satin, the weaving room from Yanjing made Lord Tang find out that someone had framed the Ye's family. You also know from the letter that you want to come. Which drugstore you suspect was destroyed overnight, and the clue was interrupted. Nevertheless, we still found some clues. Father, the person who framed the Ye's family, nine times out of ten, is the right Xiang Li's family."

"Li family?" Jiang Yuanbai frowned, "Li Zhongnan?"

"Not bad." Jiang Li said, "not only that, the Xue family case in Tongxiang may also involve Li Zhongnan. Ye Biao is just a new household member wailang, and the court did not even stand firm, but the Li family began to target the Ye family. There is no doubt that this is against cousin Ye. The prime minister, why do you spend so much time on a small household member wailang? Father, right minister, this is not for the Ye family, but for the Jiang family."

Jiang Yuanbai said coldly, "do you know what you are talking about?"

"The Li family and our yuan family have never been at peace. Since the Li family and King Cheng came closer, our yuan family has gradually become worse than before. This should be most clear to the father and second uncle who were officials in the early days. Now they can hold on, and for a long time, our yuan family can't hold on. Now they can't help it, and they are ready to move, can we still ignore it?"

Jiang Yuanbai looked at his daughter as if he had known Jiang Li for the first time. He knew that Jiang Li was smart, but he was brilliant and smart in verification. He was smart in the fight of the back house, and he was smart in talking about the current political situation. He could not be compared with him.

This requires not only intelligence, but also pattern.

"Brother Ye Biao also found out this matter. Please let me rescue Xue Xiancheng from prison in Tongxiang. I'm your daughter, and it's more convenient to do things in the name of the yuan family. Since the right minister has already started against us, blindly avoiding is not the way, it's better to fight back. You know that the Xue family case is the best weapon to fight back. Pull the right minister out of the Xue family case and involve the right minister, isn't it against them?"

She said completely calmly, and did not feel that this was a case that could involve the interests of hundreds or even thousands of people. Jiang Yuanbai shook his head: "what you said is simple. Since ancient times, there have been countless unjust, false and wrong cases. There are only a few cases that can be overturned. How do you think you can overturn the case?"

"My father didn't know that Feng Yutang bullied men and women in Tongxiang, and did all kinds of evil. The people hated him very much. This time, there were hundreds of people in Beijing alone. The files were full of holes, and the evidence was conclusive. The most important thing is that Feng Yutang unexpectedly mined gold in Tongxiang without permission. This is a felony! If no one was behind him, he wouldn't have such courage."

"You are too reckless. The Li family is not so easy to be defeated. This time, you can only frustrate the Li family's spirit, but make him bear a grudge against you. Once you find a chance, you will take crazy revenge on the yuan family..."

"Won't the Li family fight against our family if they don't fight back?" Jiang Li interrupted him, "for example, now, we haven't done anything, and the Li family borrowed the Ye family to attack us. And my father forgot, when I made a grievance at Chang'an gate, what was the result? The result was that three days later, the Ministry of punishment was brought to trial, and the emperor personally supervised it. The emperor has noticed this."

Jiang Li said faintly, "over the years, the right phase and King Cheng are getting closer and closer. Doesn't the emperor see it in his eyes? The emperor is also afraid. The Xue family case involves the right phase, so the emperor also attaches importance to it, and will ask for personal supervision. This time, the emperor is on our side. Father, if the yuan family and his majesty didn't grow slender, you should be on the emperor's side now, shouldn't you?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuanbai urgently interrupted her: "I'm impatient, and I dare to say such words!"

Jiang Li looked at him quietly.

Jiang Yuanbai waved impatiently, "forget it, you go out first. I know what you said. I need to think about it again."

Jiang Li nodded.

She deliberately wants to relate the Xue family case to the Li family. Knowing that Youxiang is Jiang Yuanbai's most fearful knot, she confused the object and confused Jiang Yuanbai. Confuse her real purpose.

Because if Jiang Yuanbai knew that this matter involved Cheng Wang and Yongning, he would definitely block it.

But when his opponent became right-wing Minister Li Zhongnan, his attitude was not certain.
