"Dengwengu?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Even Shen Li was stunned for a moment.
Old Madam Shen reacted and sneered immediately: "Dengwen Drum? What a joke, that thing can be struck by anyone? Who do you think you are! Ha! If you are not afraid of death, then go ahead and strike it!"
Old Madam Shen was extremely disdainful.
Beat the drum to report the news?
Who are you trying to scare!
Yang Zhao glanced at Madam Shen lightly, curled the corner of his lips, walked past her and walked out of the hall.
Yang Zhao had always been gentle and respectful in front of Old Madam Shen. He had never been so disrespectful to her before. The old lady immediately felt very uncomfortable and her face was gloomy.
"A Zhao!"
A trace of uneasiness flashed through Shen Li's heart, and he subconsciously wanted to call Yang Zhao.
"Li'er, there's no need to call her."
Old Madam Shen said with a cold face, "A little bitch who can't even lay eggs has been spoiled to the point of having a bad temper. After failing to get a divorce, she wants to use the drum to threaten and scare us. She really thinks that our Shen family is easy to bully."
Maybe they had a falling out, or maybe he was mad at Yang Zhao.
Old Madam Shen was so outspoken in front of the Yang family.
The words "you little bitch who can't lay eggs" made all the Yang family members present angry and their faces turned red.
Old Madam Yang's expression grew even colder.
Yang Huaijin did not follow his sister out directly, but looked at Mrs. Shen coldly.
Old Madam Shen was frightened by his stare and could not help but glare at him angrily; "What are you looking at? Kill me if you have the guts!"
"OK!"
Next second.
'Shua'
"ah--"
A scream.
"Grandma..."
Shen Li exclaimed.
…
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Suddenly, deafening drumbeats rang out over the capital. The drumbeats seemed to have a strong penetrating power, and they traveled far...
The people in the city all stopped.
He looked up in confusion: "What's that sound?"
“It’s the drums!”
"It seems to be the sound of Dengwen drum..."
"Someone actually struck the Dengwen Drum. One, two... nine times, a total of nine times... What a huge injustice! Quick, hurry to Dengwen Tower and take a look..."
Outside the palace gate.
At the foot of the Dengwen Tower, many people had already gathered.
And on the stage.
A slender figure in plain clothes was beating the Dengwen drum, which was as tall as a person.
The sound broke through the air.
Deafening.
Not only did the people in the capital hear it, but Emperor Wenyuan in the palace also heard it.
"What's going on?"
Li Qing listened carefully and quickly said, "Your Majesty, it seems someone struck the drum to report the news."
The drum for reporting can only be struck when there is a great grievance. Otherwise, it will be regarded as disrupting the laws of the court and the crime may be punishable by death, and even nine generations of the family may be implicated.
Therefore, from the founding of the Mo Dynasty to the present, the number of times the Dengwen Drum has been sounded can be counted on one hand.
But every time it rings.
That would be a huge injustice.
When Emperor Wenyuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Send someone to see what's going on."
"yes."
In less than two quarters of an hour.
Emperor Wenyuan then knew who had struck the drum to report the incident.
His expression darkened. "Just because of a concubine, they're getting a divorce? And they've even gone so far as to beat the drum for public hearings? Are they treating the laws of the court like a joke?"
Li Qing didn't dare to say anything.
After all, this matter does seem to be a bit of an exaggeration.
But no matter what the matter was, once the drum for reporting was sounded, the emperor had to show up and personally inquire about it.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
Following a shrill shout, the imperial guards rushed out and instantly created an open space around Dengwen Tower. A majestic figure in bright yellow also appeared from the imperial city onto the high platform above Dengwen Tower.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor..."
The people all knelt down and shouted.
Naturally, Yang Zhao also knelt down on her knees when Emperor Wenyuan appeared, and Emperor Wenyuan looked at her with majesty.
At this time, the Shen family.
Old Madam Shen, whose ear was cut off by Yang Huaijin, was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and said fiercely as soon as the wound was bandaged: "That kid from the Yang family is really despicable. Li'er, when you become powerful in the future, you must get it back for your grandmother..."
Shen Li was feeling irritated.
He always felt something was wrong...
And just at this moment.
A maidservant hurried into the room with an anxious look on her face and reported, "Madam, Master, no, something bad has happened. Someone from the government is coming..."
"Government?"
Madam Shen was stunned: "Why did the government come here?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Madam Shen's eyes shone: "Could it be that that little bitch really went to beat the drum to report the incident?"
And soon she knew the answer.
On the open space of Dengwen Tower.
When Old Madam Shen and others were brought in, Old Madam Yang and others were already there, including the head of the Yang family and the elders.
Seeing this situation, what could Mrs. Shen not understand?
Her silver teeth were almost broken.
Yang Zhao, this bitch, is really brave...
Prefect Pei sat in front of the desk in the middle and temporarily used the open space as a court.
See the Shen family coming.
He was getting ready to start.
After all, the emperor was still watching from the high wall behind.
But before he could open his mouth, a voice suddenly began to wail: "What a sin! For a concubine, he's causing trouble at home, and now he's even coming here to beat the drum and make a scene at the palace gates."
