Chapter 312
Wearing mourning clothes, wearing mourning cloth on the head, holding up the imperial edict, behind him is a black coffin and many people!
From a visual point of view, this picture has an endless sense of impact!
"Holding the imperial edict and carrying the black coffin, this... is it going to the palace to file a complaint?"
Li Long's eyes widened, his face full of shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to do!
It has been many years since the people held the imperial edict and went to the palace to file a complaint?
If they really came to file a complaint, this would definitely be a big deal and would set off a huge storm!
Li Long's face changed drastically, and his eyes were fixed on Lin in the front.
But at this time, he had to stand up, because the front was the palace!
He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The palace is ahead, no one is allowed to enter!"
Lin stopped and raised the imperial edict in her hand. She responded loudly, "I am Lin, a commoner from Qingzhou. I have grievances to redress and complaints to make!"
"In the past, my great ancestor Daqian ordered that all officials who did not do their job, oppressed the people, and the people who had grievances could hold the imperial edict and enter the palace and step into the imperial city!"
"No matter how big or small the official position is, you cannot stop them, otherwise you will be executed!"
"I have evidence in my hand, but the Dali Temple not only refused to accept it, but also tortured me. Today, I will enter the palace and file a complaint!"
Lin's words suddenly resounded outside the palace, shocking everyone.
Facing the vast palace and the guards holding weapons, Lin was not afraid, but excited!
Why should I be afraid to appeal for my husband's grievances?
Even if there are thousands of people in front of him, even if it is difficult and dangerous, so what?
Li Long took a deep look at Lin. It was related to the imperial edict of Taizu, and no one could stop it!
This matter was beyond his control.
Then, he said to Lin, "If you really have grievances to appeal, then play the injustice drum specially made by Taizu. Once the injustice drum sounds, the sound will spread throughout the palace!"
"But I must tell you that once the injustice drum sounds, there is no way out. You will be punished by rolling steel nails and tried by His Majesty. At that time, either the injustice will be cleared or... your nine clans will be executed!"
"Er, have you thought about it?"
As Li Long spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the side of Tianque Gate.
There, stood a big drum that seemed to have experienced the precipitation of time.
The drum body is made of hard mahogany. Because it has been so old, it exudes a sense of vicissitudes and solemnity. The edge is inlaid with a circle of bronze rivets, which flashes a dazzling light under the golden sunlight.
The Drum of Injustice, once it is played, the sound of the drum will resound throughout the palace!
Lin stared at the big drum in front of her, with only one thought buzzing in her mind.
If this drum is played, she can see the emperor!
Seeing the emperor... there is a chance to clear her name!
She walked towards the Drum of Injustice step by step until she came in front of it.
At this moment, countless eyes were focused on Lin, and even her fists were unconsciously clenched, her face full of tension.
They were waiting for Lin to make a choice, and Tian Qing was looking forward with his mouth open.
At this moment, he regretted that he should have killed this bitch earlier!
Otherwise, he would not have caused such a big trouble, but it was too late to regret it now.
He only prayed that Lin was afraid of rolling iron nails and did not play the Drum of Injustice.
He prayed in his heart...
But the next second.
Lin picked up the drumstick on one side without hesitation and hammered it towards the Drum of Injustice.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Lin hammered down one hammer after another, using almost all her strength.
Each hammer was filled with resentment for being driven out of the Dali Temple, the grievance of being displaced in Chang'an City for many days, and the resentment of having no way to report to the authorities!
Now, all of it was vented with every hammer swing in her hand!
Along with her movements, heavy drum sounds rang out like thunder, and each sound carried the injustice of fate and spread far away!
Behind her, thousands of people looked at Lin's thin back, and for some reason, their eyes were sour.
Tian Qing's lips were pale, and he gritted his teeth and said to his confidant, "Call Qin Wenchang and Yan'er, these two idiots, and tell them that something happened, something big happened!"
"If you don't come, even I can't save them!"
The confidant rushed out in one direction quickly...
In front of the Shenque Gate.
Li Long had a complicated expression, but he calmed down and quickly ordered his men: "Go and report to His Majesty, and say that there are people holding the imperial edict and carrying the coffin to file a complaint with the emperor!"
The men received the order and hurriedly ran into the palace.
Then, Li Long shouted, "Open the city gate!"
Boom!
The city gate opened, revealing a wide avenue in the palace.
"The drum of injustice is beating, follow me into the palace, I will take you to see the emperor!"
Li Long looked at Lin and said in a deep voice.
"My lord, this woman is...Coffin..."
Lin pointed to the black coffin lifted by four men behind her with hesitation.
This was Gao Yang's instruction, and she dared not forget it at all.
Li Long waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Come on, carry the coffin!"
"..."
At the other end.
The sound of drums passed through the palace gates of Daqian, through the high walls and deep courtyards of the imperial palace, passed through the palace with carved beams and painted rafters, passed through the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, shuttled along the long corridor of the palace, and echoed throughout the palace.
For a moment, the guards looked sideways, and the palace maids and eunuchs were shocked.
Inside the Golden Palace.
Wu Zhao was sitting on the dragon throne, her phoenix eyes were cold, and her slender fingers were slowly and rhythmically tapping on the dragon throne.
The Imperial Censor Yan Zheng stood up with a solemn face, "Your Majesty, although there are many officials in Daqian, the number of corrupt officials is also increasing every year!"
"Such unhealthy trends cannot be ignored. "
Wu Zhao looked serious when she heard this.
Gao Yang looked calm, he just glanced outside the palace from time to time.
Wu Zhao noticed Gao Yang's little movements and frowned slightly.
Why does Gao Yang seem to be waiting for something?
Today's Gao Yang really made her feel strange.
But at this moment, the low and heavy drum sound also reached the Golden Palace, like a huge bell, making the mind buzz.
Instantly, all officials were shocked.
"Where does this drum sound come from?"
"This drum, this drum seems to have been heard by this official, but what kind of drum is it that has such a sound!"
For a moment, all officials looked at the place where the drum sound came from outside the palace.
They were full of curiosity and thought.
Gao Yang also said curiously, "Tsk tsk, where does this drum sound come from? It is so penetrating that it can be transmitted to the Golden Palace."
"It's really strange. ”
But old ministers like Lu Zhen were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized something.
“This is the injustice drum outside the Shenque Gate. It is said that this drum was made of mahogany by Taizu’s order!”
“This drum is hit hard, and the sound can be heard throughout the palace. Could it be that someone played the injustice drum to redress injustice?”
