Chapter 22: Drumming
"Wangwang..."
A dog barking woke Hongfunn, which scared her to sit up.
Looking at the unfamiliar room, she quickly checked her body. The injuries on her chest had been cured and she felt no discomfort. The Ye Xingyi on her body was also replaced.
Have you been beaten by that?
She didn't feel any other abnormalities in her body, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
When she heard something outside the door, she put on her shoes and walked to the door, looking through the crack in the door.
In the yard, Yang Shuang was accompanying Zhuge Liuli to tease the dog.
The wooden Frisbee was thrown out by Yang Shuang, and a big black dog ran and jumped up, bit the Frisbee, and sent it back to Yang Shuang's hand.
"Wangwang..." The big black dog shook its tail and screamed twice.
Yang Shuang made a fake move and pretended to throw out the Frisbee, but actually hid behind her.
The big black dog turned around looking for the Frisbee, but couldn't find the target. The whole dog was stunned, then turned to look at Yang Shuang, as if asking: Hey, brother, what about the Frisbee.
Hong Fu Nu breathed a sigh of relief and understood her situation. She was saved by the Ming King. But her wounds were relatively hidden, right?
Taking a deep breath, Hongfu Nu opened the door.
Yang Shuang heard the sound of opening the door and saw the Hongfu girl walking out.
The Hongfu girl who changed into a night-mounted dress was wearing a white robe and skirt. Her beautiful appearance added some warmth, and she would not be allowed to enter if she had fewer strangers.
"Thank you for your help, please accept a bow from the little girl!" Hong Fu Nu immediately wanted to kowtow.
But Zhuge Liuli stopped her, and she saw her holding Hong Funnun and laughing, "Your Highness knows how to cherish the fragrance and jade the most. My sister is so beautiful, just what he wants."
Yang Shuang saw Zhuge Liuli's smug eyes, and this girl started to mess around again.
Hongfu Nu is so embarrassed that she is rare.
"He almost got poisoned himself in order to take drugs for you." Zhuge Liuli said again.
Yang Shuang coughed twice quickly. Her wife's assist was so fucking powerful. The strongest support was you. Why worry about not being able to marry a concubine in the future?
Hongfu's cheeks turned red, and his eyes flashed and drifted toward him, and he did not dare to look at Yang Shuang.
Yang Shuang asked, "If you take the medicine for another two days, you should be cured. I will save your life and do not ask for your reward. But can you tell me why you wanted to kill Shi Longsui's son?"
Hongfu Nu sighed and did not hide it: "Shi Wansui's son Shi Qianqiu has a despicable character. He killed my brother and forced my sister to death in Pengcheng, so I assassinated him. However, this man was cunning and cunning, and he escaped repeatedly, and even fled to Yanjing Capital, so what happened last night."
After hearing this, Yang Shuang frowned and asked, "So, Shi Wansui is protecting his son and helping the evildoer?"
"Shi Qianqiu is cunning, and he is a little bit cunning on the surface, but he is secretly a little bit. He is lustful and countless innocent girls died at his hands, but no one knows his evil deeds. My righteous brother was originally a yamen runner in the Pengcheng Government Office. When he investigated the missing girl, he found that it was his work and was brutally killed. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Shi Qianqiu is not a villain. Even in the eyes of his father, his son is also a good son." Hongfunu explained.
Yang Shuang sighed: "Knowing people and not their hearts. Human faces and beasts are about scum like Shi Qianqiu. If you can't assassinate last night, it will definitely arouse the alertness of the Shi family. You should not take revenge during this period."
"Thank you for your concern, but the revenge has not been avenged, and the little woman cannot watch Shi Qianqiu free from justice. After my brother and sister died, I was alone and had no worries. Thank you for your life-saving grace. I said goodbye." Hongfu Nu bowed and thanked her and prepared to leave.
Zhuge Liuli wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Yang Shuang.
Yang Shuang said, "I give you a word, so I will leave the green mountains without fear of burning firewood. Your righteous brother and sister also hope you will live safely, so you must be worthy of the dead. Of course, if you really can't avenge, you can come to me. I am not helping you, but just eliminating evil."
Hongfu Nu pursed her lips, bowed her hands again, and then left.
"Your Highness, if you like this sister, why not leave her behind?" Zhuge Liuli asked.
Yang Shuang asked back: "When did I say I like her?"
"Isn't she beautiful?" Zhuge Liuli asked back.
Yang Shuang nodded and said, "She is very beautiful, but there are countless beautiful women in the world. Do you love each other when you meet? Don't think of your husband as superficially."
When talking about this topic, Zhuge Liuli's gossip heart was instantly ignited.
"Your Highness, what kind of woman do you like?"
"You are like this!"
......
The appearance of Hongfu Nu did not cause much trouble in Yang Shuang's life.
After many days of opening the palace, Yang Shuang has not entered the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. Today, he has time, so he brought Zhuge Liuli into the palace.
When they arrived outside Chengtian Gate, Yang Shuang and Zhuge Liuli got off the carriage and were about to enter the door, but suddenly they heard the rapid drum sound not far away.
The imperial guards stationed in front of the city gate rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the sound.
"Who rings the Dengyin Drum?" Zhuge Liuli said in surprise.
Yang Shuang also raised her eyebrows.
There is a drum hanging outside the palace gate, allowing the drum to be beaten and complain to the court, also known as: "The drum hanging on the left of the palace is hung. If a person has a bad injustice, the drum will be blown and the sound will be displayed on the bus."
Once you hear the drum sound, Your Majesty must go to court to inquire about this matter. Therefore, the cost of ringing the drum sound is also very high, that is, those who make injustice will be thirty first, one is to prevent the malice of the unruly people, and the other is to offend the level.
The thirty court stick is not light, and the water and fire stick is really hit on the butt. After punishment, the skin is broken and the weak will be beaten to death.
And when the drum sounds, many officials will suffer.
The Sui Dynasty did not set up a special official office to manage the Dengwen Gu, but only set up a drum steward, which was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Censorate. Once the Dengwen Gu sounded, the special censor would report to the Censor Zhongcheng, and then the Censor Zhongcheng would report to Your Majesty.
Once held accountable, officials from the Censorate will suffer.
The last time I heard the drum sound was three years ago.
Who is this time? What case is involved?
The curious Yang Shuang stopped and waited for a while before she saw the censor walking towards the drumbeater.
Yang Shuang was even more surprised because the drumbeater was actually a girl.
The Censor Zhongcheng was also holding the complaint and was about to enter the palace to face the saint, but was stopped by Yang Shuang.
"Sei Shen, please pay homage to His Highness the King of Ming." Everyone paid homage to him.
Yang Shuang asked, "What kind of injustice did you actually ring the Dengwen Drum?"
The Censor Zhongcheng said respectfully: "Report to your highness, the drum beater is from Yi County, Yizhou, named Yang Qing, who avenged his brother Yang Su. Yang Su poisoned his adoptive father and acted evilly. After investigation by the Ministry of Justice, the evidence was conclusive. It has been decided to be executed after the autumn, and it will be reviewed by Dali Temple, and his Majesty will be criticized by his master."
"Who do you think you want to seek justice?" Yang Su asked in surprise.
The Censor Zhongcheng said again: "Have you heard of this person for Yang Su?"
Yang Su immediately smiled, and felt that this world was more interesting.
There is Yang Guang and Hong Fu Nu, so it is not surprising that Yang Su comes again.
