Li Ping then stopped drumming, waving his hands and complaining.
"The drums in Yong'an City have been unplayed for many days, and the drumheads are so hard that my wrists hurt from playing them."
Zhuang Guoqiang winked at him while giving him a reminder.
"I have a very important guest today, so we can talk about it tomorrow."
Li Ping turned to look at Lord Zhuang and said "Oh."
"Lord Zhuang, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking so much? We're not here to joke around today; we're here to appeal for justice. If this person is dead, is it too late to talk about it tomorrow?"
He then winked at Lord Zhu.
“Sir, judging from your official hat, you must hold a higher rank than Lord Zhuang. If Lord Zhuang is unwilling to stand up for us, you must stand up for us common folk.”
Seeing Li Ping's charade, Lord Zhu glanced behind him a few times, only to see Hu Ke, but not His Highness the Crown Prince. He immediately nodded solemnly.

"Kneel? If we kneel, I'm afraid Lord Zhuang won't be able to bear it."
When Zhuang Guoqiang saw that these people had come specifically to beat the drum and appeal for justice today, he already knew that something terrible was about to happen.
Therefore, how could he dare to flaunt his official power in front of Lord Zhu?
He quickly put on a friendly demeanor and waved to the officials behind Li Ping and the others.
"I have always loved my people like my own children. How can I force them to kneel? All of you, step back!"
