Ouch! We have poked the marketing peddler's nest!

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong--"

the old emperor blurted out: "What's going on!"

"It seems..." The eunuch listened, "It's the drum outside the Meridian Gate that was struck." Drum

?

The old emperor stood up suddenly.

"Call all the officials!"

...

Xu Yanmiao walked at the end of the officials, listening to the military clerk explaining science to him.

"Your Majesty set up a drum outside the Meridian Gate when he first founded the country. If the people have grievances, they can come and beat the drum to report to the emperor."

"Oh! Does it need to roll the nail board? I heard that you can only tell your grievances after rolling the nail board over."

"Of course not, where did you hear that rumor, Xu Lang?" The military official couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty set up the drum to open up the channels for people to speak out. If everyone who comes to appeal for grievances needs to roll the nail board, six out of ten people will die. Who would dare to come to appeal for grievances?"

Isn't this just a waste of effort?

Even in the past dynasties, those who complained about grievances were either whipped dozens of times or beaten dozens of times, but they never tried rolling the nail board.

Xu Yanmiao was embarrassed: "It was my fault..."

As he stepped into the side hall near the Meridian Gate, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face.

[Mist!] Xu Yanmiao's pupils trembled: [Did the old emperor really let the people who came to appeal for justice get kicked out?]

Others: "..." Thank you, we were also shocked.

The prime minister and the six ministers who were walking in the front suddenly looked up at the old emperor.

Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!

- Mainly because they also smelled the blood, which was abnormally strong.

The veins on the old emperor's forehead throbbed.

He glared at Xu Yanmiao. Then he immediately bit his tongue and said, "I have ordered the Imperial Physician to come forward and treat her. Before this woman beat the drum, there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body! I don't know what injustice she had suffered to endure such pain."

He pronounced the words very clearly, for fear that others would not hear or could not hear clearly.

When he read the word "before", he still emphasized it.

The Imperial Physician came forward with the medicine box, and felt pity when he looked at the bloody person in front of him. His many years of medical experience told him that such patients could not be saved, and he could only give them acupuncture to reduce their pain before death.

"Alas..."

The Imperial Physician reached out to feel the pulse.

"Pah——" A bloody hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pushed it aside.

The Imperial Physician: "Ah!!!"

A corpse!!!

The old emperor pinched the armrest hard, and his whole arm was full of blue veins.

If he hadn't been sitting on a chair, he could have taken three steps back!

"Your Majesty!!!" The bloody man spoke, his voice was not full of energy, but it was particularly sad and powerful: "The commoner Xie Luoshui sued the Marquis of Kuaiji, his wife and the crown prince!"

The old emperor opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But Xu Yanmiao had already said it for him in his heart.

[Fuck, fuck, fuck, this is the physique of the heroine in a tortured novel! She is injured like this, not to say that she is dying, at least she should be barely breathing, and her voice can still be so powerful. ]

Xu Yanmiao stared at the news given in the system gossip and took a breath of cold air.

[She just had a miscarriage yesterday!!!]

Civil and military officials: "Hiss——"

It's completely impossible to tell!

Whose woman would lie weakly in bed for ten days or half a month after a miscarriage.

[6666, amazing! She ran away while the family of Marquis of Kuaiji was attending Prime Minister Dou's banquet to pay tribute to the emperor, stole a horse, and galloped forty miles to the capital to file a complaint.]

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily fixed on the legs of this ragged woman.

The inner thighs were rubbed and bleeding.

But!

As Xie Luoshui became excited, her left leg stepped forward consciously - the rags tore the wound as her clothes swayed, and the blood scab was torn again not long after it healed.

"Hiss -" I'm sorry, but Prime Minister Dou really couldn't help but feel the pain for her.

But the fragile woman in front of him just frowned slightly, as if this kind of pain was not worth mentioning to her.

She quickly recounted her experience.

She said that she was originally a farm girl, and recently she went to the city with her parents to sell fish. The prince of Kuaiji used sweet words to trick her into entering the palace, but later when they heard that the emperor was going to choose a husband for Princess Xiangyang for the second time, the Kuaiji family imprisoned her to prevent her from going out and making nonsense. At the same time, the prince acted as if he had not married for many years for the princess, and there was not even a maid in his family.

As for the pregnancy, it was because the prince [raped] her after getting drunk that she got pregnant.

The old emperor cast his eyes on the Kuaiji Marquis who was present: "Do you have anything to say?"

Xie Luoshui also looked at the Kuaiji Marquis, prepared for the other party to refute, or even turn the tables.

But no one expected that the Kuaiji Marquis directly confessed his guilt, saying that he was possessed by ghosts at the time, and he hoped that his family could marry the princess too much, so he did such a deceiving thing.

After admitting his guilt, he immediately apologized to Xie Luoshui, a peasant girl, so quickly that everyone from the emperor to the officials was very confused. The old emperor was still confused, and sentenced the Marquis of Kuaiji to the crime of wounding and the Marquis of Kuaiji's son to the crime of [rape] [adultery] according to the law. After

the verdict, the old emperor couldn't help but ask: "Marquis of Kuaiji, those who kill people will be put to death, and those who injure people will be punished. I sentence you to the crime of wounding and forty strokes of the cane. Do you admit your guilt?"

The Marquis of Kuaiji thanked him: "I admit my guilt."

The old emperor asked again: "Your son [raped] an unmarried woman. According to the law, he should be sentenced to two years in prison. Do you admit it?"

- That is, two years of hard labor.

The Marquis of Kuaiji bowed again and said, "I plead guilty for my rebellious son."

The old emperor looked at Xie Luoshui and said, "Are you satisfied with this verdict?"

Xie Luoshui also bowed and said, "I am satisfied."

Since the victim was satisfied, the court meeting should be dismissed.

Xu Yanmiao came here in a daze, and now he is leaving in a daze. He was in a state of confusion and began to wonder why he came to this court meeting.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the figure of the Marquis of Kuaiji walking out in a hurry, anxious to leave.

Xu Yanmiao subconsciously opened the system.

[I always feel something is weird...]

The Marquis of Kuaiji paused, and the next breath, he walked faster.

Seeing that he was about to step out of the door of the side hall, behind him, Xu Yanmiao's voice repeatedly brushed a few interjections representing shock.

[Grass, grass, grass, grass! Stealing the dragon and changing the phoenix!!! It turned out to be stealing the dragon and changing the phoenix! ]

The old emperor who was getting on the sedan chair staggered and almost fell off the sedan chair.

The chief eunuch: "Your Majesty!!!" He hurried to help him.

"No need to help!" The old emperor turned around and jumped off the sedan chair, and walked briskly to the hall: "I still have things to do!"

Hurry back to eat melons!

The emperor had gone back, so naturally all the officials had to go back as well.

Kuaiji Marquis' legs went weak, so the Jinyi Guards lifted him up and dragged him in.

Xie Luoshui looked at these officials in confusion - some of them had suddenly torn off their beards for no apparent reason, what were they doing?

He couldn't figure it out, but he followed them back subconsciously.

Xu Yanmiao followed the main force absent-mindedly, his eyes fixed on the system interface.

[I knew something was wrong! If you are so conscientious, you would confess as soon as you were asked, and you wouldn't have done such a thing as imprisonment in the first place.]

[I didn't expect that it was a case of stealing the dragon and changing the phoenix.]

[The current prince of Kuaiji Marquis is not the son of Kuaiji Marquis!]

This, this, this -

all the officials who were exhausted by the drum-raising ceremony suddenly became alert, their eyes burning, full of curiosity.

How come the child is not the child of the Marquis of Kuaiji? Tell me! Tell me quickly!

Did his wife have an affair and brought in her lover's son to replace the little princess? ! !

[The child was replaced by his wife! A random baby boy brought back from outside! I want to see if the Marquis of Kuaiji knows about this.]

[Wow! ! !]

[The nobles are so confused! He knows, he has always known about this! He is weak and has only one child. He wants the prince to inherit the title, so he just accepted it with a pinch of his nose!]

All the officials were very regretful.

Since the Marquis of Kuaiji knew about this, he probably acquiesced. Then it couldn't be the lover's child.

The Minister of Revenue was very disappointed: "The wife of the Marquis of Kuaiji is so stupid! The couple is one, if she doesn't have the male bloodline, she should have at least the female bloodline. Why did she bring back a child who is not related to either side to inherit the Marquis's mansion? It's just finding a lover. The Marquis of Kuaiji is so generous that he doesn't care about such a small matter?"

The Minister of Revenue stamped his feet: "Stupid!!!"

Marquis of Kuaiji: Get out!!!

Marquis of Kuaiji: You all like to watch the fun, why don't you let your wife give birth to a child for you!!!

The old emperor quickly called the eunuch: "Go and bring the Marquis of Kuaiji's son and the Marquis of Kuaiji's wife here!"

Watch the fun. Hehe.

Soon, the two were brought here.

During this period, all the officials had a good time.

What is the story that the prince of Kuaiji could write poems at the age of three and essays at the age of five? It turns out that the Marquis of Kuaiji had someone prepare poems for him to recite in advance.

What is the story that when the prince of Kuaiji was ten years old, he hunted a black fox and released it. The black fox spun three times on the spot and jumped into the prince's arms again - this black fox that everyone in the streets and alleys talked about with relish, it turned out that the fox was caught by someone in advance by the Marquis of Kuaiji, and it was hungry for three days and couldn't walk before it was shot. It found meat in the prince's arms and jumped over.

[And that fox! Hahahahaha, that fox hahahahahaha——]

Xu Yanmiao's laughter was earth-shaking.

[That fox turned out to be an ordinary red-haired fox that was caught and then dyed black with ink hahahahahahahaha! 】

【This counterfeiting is so wicked! The poor fox almost drowned in the ink jar. 】

The Marquis of Kuaiji blushed, as if he was stripped naked and thrown into this hall.

What's wrong with counterfeiting!

Others can't fake it even if they want to!

Besides, how can the fame of a scholar's family be simply described as counterfeiting!

This Xu Yanmiao is so vulgar!

Xu Yanmiao turned over another counterfeit: [Hahahahahahahahaha——] The

Marquis of Kuaiji: "..."

Can you stop laughing!

Xu Yanmiao turned over another counterfeit: [Hahahahahahahahaha——]

The Marquis of Kuaiji: "..."

Is this the end! Is this the end!

Xu Yanmiao: [Hahahahahaha! It turns out that the Marquis of Kuaiji's reputation as the most elegant and handsome middle-aged man was made in this way! No wonder she is so skilled in building momentum for her adopted son, it turns out it’s a family tradition! Hahahahaha…】

All the officials present blushed, only Xu Yanmiao’s wild laughter echoed in the hall.

Xu Yanmiao’s thoughts suddenly became silent.

Kuaiji Marquis’ heart skipped a beat, and he turned his face towards the palace door as if possessed by a ghost, and then he saw his wife and that wild child being led in by the Jinyiwei.

It’s over.

Kuaiji Marquis thought in despair.

Xu Yanmiao said “Oh” and was very excited.

【I actually caught up with the scene to eat melons! 】

【It seems that the old emperor’s Jinyiwei has been investigating the Kuaiji Marquis’s mansion for a long time. 】 【

I understand! The previous adjournment must have been a fake, in order to prevent the Kuaiji Marquis from jumping off the wall! 】

【The Jinyiwei brought people here. They must have found out that Xie Luoshui was the princess of the Marquis of Kuaiji Mansion! 】

The Marquis of Kuaiji closed his eyes in pain.
