Dawn came quietly, and a ray of clear light penetrated into the woodshed, forming a white column in the sky, with countless flying dust swirling up and down in it, bright and vivid.

Oh oh oh! Three loud rooster crows pierced the sky, as if even the flying dust in the beam of light was shaken to a standstill for a moment.

Shen Xiaojia slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight with his hands on the pile of firewood, stretched, turned to look at the mute girl sitting by the bed with scissors, picked his head, yawned and said, "Good morning!

I remember you were in this position last night, why are you still like this now... Could you be so excited that you stayed up all night?"

The mute girl twitched the corner of her mouth with a strange look on her face, but did not respond to Shen Xiaojia's question. She pinched the scissors and pinched them in the air twice.

"Hiss! Girls, don't play with scissors. It's scary..." Shen Xiaojia took a breath of air and felt an inexplicable chill coming from somewhere in his body. He coughed dryly, jumped off the firewood pile, and secretly glanced at the beam.

He walked to the door in two steps, pushed open the wooden door, and bathed in the sunshine with his back facing up. He said with a strong momentum, "Now that the time has come, let's set off! Even if we are broken into pieces, we must move forward bravely... The truth cannot be buried.

,Justice cannot be late!”

The mute girl stared at Shen Xiaojia's back with complex eyes, hid the scissors in her sleeves, stood up, nodded gently, and followed Shen Xiaojia out of the woodshed. When she walked to the center of the courtyard, she looked back at the woodshed standing there.

The big red-crowned rooster on the roof frowned slightly, feeling that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure it out.

Shen Xiaojia suddenly looked sideways at the mute girl, and said with a half-smile, "I won't have breakfast today. I will have a lot of food to eat in the government office later... I have to eat a lot, I have to suffer a loss, and I have to be surprised...

No, it’s not just one kilogram, it’s probably at least ten or twenty kilograms. I have to eat enough to hold it together today!”

"Aba..." The mute girl curled her lips indifferently, touched her withered belly, licked her lips, and pretended to be very appetizing.

"As long as you can bear it!" Shen Xiaojia put his hands behind his back, continued to raise his legs and walked out of Zuiyue Tower. He took a deep breath, put away the cynicism on his face, and walked toward the government office with a frosty face, as calm as a mountain and as straight as a sword.

The mute girl was in a daze for a moment, realizing that she had never really known the young man walking in front of her. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip, and followed Shen Xiaojia step by step, thinking a lot.

The street vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the alley seemed to sense Shen Xiaojia's different aura than before. They stopped what they were doing, stared sideways, and whispered in low voices.

What's more, they followed Shen Xiaojia and the mute girl, neither far nor close, as if they were escorting and monitoring.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shen Xiaojia's mouth, he stood in front of the government office gate, moved his arms a few times, suddenly turned around, came to a dusty drum, and picked up the rotten wooden mallet on the drum stand.

, whispered to the mute girl behind him, "Get ready, we are about to make your debut!"

The mute girl woke up immediately, regained her composure, and managed to squeeze out a "hmm" from her throat.

The crowd that gathered around to watch the excitement suddenly seemed like a pot exploding, and countless gossips spread.

"Is he trying to make a grievance?"

"No way, the Yuecheng Mansion Yamen hasn't been promoted to court for many years. Maybe he thinks the drumsticks are a bit redundant and wants to keep them in the Yamen..."

"No, he raised his arms, as if he really wanted to beat a drum and complain!"

"Impossible, unless he is crazy! He is a policeman, and he cannot be ignorant of the rules of beating the drum of injustice..."

"Crazy, crazy! He is really crazy!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull drumbeats swayed again and again.

The surrounding area immediately became silent, and there was no more noise, because many people were so shocked that their mouths were open, their faces were dull, and their minds were blank. Naturally, they could not care less about gossip. Some onlookers, who were as timid as mice, followed the sound of drums.

They trembled again and again, retreating step by step, as if the drumstick was beating on their hearts.

Every time the drumstick fell, two or three people would disperse.

There were fewer and fewer onlookers, but Shen Xiaojia beat the grievance drum harder and harder without any intention of stopping.

Boom! The rotten drumstick suddenly broke into two pieces, and the sound of the drum stopped abruptly.

"You're using too much force!" Shen Xiaojia laughed to himself, casually throwing aside the half of the drumstick in his hand, scanning the onlookers behind him with his peripheral vision, and noticed that there were a few familiar faces.

Touching his nose, he muttered, "Fortunately, everyone is here, and it's not in vain that my arms are numb from beating..." He turned back to the mute girl, clapped his hands, and stared at the gate of the government office calmly and calmly, "

The show has begun, there is no way out now, the curtain has been opened... Three, two, one!"

When the last word fell, the gate of the government office slowly opened. Jiang Baotou stood with a knife in his hand, staring coldly at the people outside the door, and said in a cold voice, "Who beats the drum to complain about injustice?"

Shen Xiaojia coughed lightly, blinked at Mr. Jiang, pointed at the mute girl next to him, and said with a shy smile, "I beat the drum...but she is the one who complained about the injustice!"

Jiang Captou glanced at the mute girl and frowned, "Why doesn't she beat the drum herself to express her grievances?"

"The yamen's drum stand is a bit high and she can't reach it, so I have to do it for her..."

"Do you understand the rules of complaining?"

"I am a police officer, so I naturally understand."

"Then how should this be calculated? Will the thirty-year-old slap slap on your ass, or will it fall on her?"

"How about half for each person?"

"That's right... then come in and eat!"

Shen Xiaojia took the mute girl's arm and stepped through the gate of the government office. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, then we won't be polite!"

Jiang Captou snorted coldly and ordered people to bring Shen Xiaojia and the mute girl into the courtroom. They pressed them firmly on two benches. He came to Shen Xiaojia with a killing stick and twisted his wrist a few times.

Xiaorou said without a smile, "We are so familiar with each other, so let's start with you! Don't worry, I will definitely love you well!"

Just when Shen Xiaojia was about to have a few more banter with Jiang Baotou, he heard the whistling sound of a stick swinging down in his ears. His eyelids jumped and he screamed, "I'll go! Are you serious... Hey, hey, okay, okay

It hurts...be gentle..."

Bang bang bang!

As if Jiang didn't hear Shen Xiaojia's words, he mechanically swung his killing stick and slapped Shen Xiaojia hard on the buttocks. His position remained consistent and consistent.

"Eleven...twelve...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!" Shen Xiaojia shouted loudly, "Stop! Enough, enough! Sixteen! You still fight!" "Sorry, I'm a little too involved...

..." After all, Capt. Jiang did not slap him again for the seventeenth time. He smiled apologetically, glanced at Shen Xiaojia's butt with some regret, walked to the side of the mute girl, and said in a gentle tone, "Girl, next you just have to

It only takes fourteen blows, just bear with it."

The mute girl bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with sorrow and perseverance. She nodded heavily and then closed her eyes, looking like she was letting herself be slaughtered.

Jiang Captou narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his killing stick and struck it cleanly. The force was actually a bit harder than when he slapped Shen Xiaojia before.

Shen Xiaojia counted softly at the side. When the count reached fourteen, he immediately pushed away the yamen servant beside him, stood up, grabbed Captain Jiang's killing stick, rolled his eyes and said, "You can keep hitting this board again."

It’s just too much…too much is never enough, everything should be done in moderation!”

Captain Jiang released his killing stick, pursed his lips and said, "I just misremembered. I also remembered that one person would get half the blow, and each person would get fifteen blows... Okay, now that the board is finished, the big boss will do the same."

It’s time to get up and wait for the ceremony!”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Nai, wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat, walked from the right side of the courtroom with a solemn expression, sat down lazily behind the court case, and shouted powerfully but not angrily, "Who is making such a noise?"

?”

"Reply to the eldest master!" Shen Xiaojia cleared his throat and answered before Mr. Jiang, "Just now, the younger one has sounded the drum of grievance, and the thirty pieces have been eaten, and he is waiting for the eldest master to ascend to the throne!

"

"You?" Liu Nai glanced at Shen Xiaojia with a strange expression, waved his hands and said, "What grievance can you have? You are just messing around every day, disturbing my dream..."

"It's not that the villain has a grievance," Shen Xiaojia pointed at the pale mute girl next to him, and said seriously, "It's that this girl has a grievance in her heart and wants to ask the master for justice!"

Liu Nai looked along Shen Xiaojia's fingers, his eyebrows suddenly knitted together, and he said coldly, "Who is there?"

The mute girl pursed her lips, but lowered her head and did not respond to Liu Nai's question.

Shen Xiaojia took a step across, stood in front of the mute girl, bowed and replied, "Reply to the lord, this girl is mute and cannot speak..."

"Oh?" Liu Nai stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, waved his hand impatiently, and said lightly, "Since he is mute, there should be no injustice... Retreat, I still have to take a nap...

…”

Shen Xiaojia hurriedly stopped Liu Nai, who had just stood up, and said loudly, "Master, please stay... Mute is also a human being, why can't he be wronged?"

"A mute can't speak. Who can know whether she has any grievances in her heart? No one knows, that means she has no grievances! As the saying goes, a mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot explain the suffering. This is the truth..." Liu Nai's face was filled with dismay.

Shen Xiaojia looked at Shen Xiaojia happily and scolded, "Don't look for trouble all day long. Read more when you have time. There are many truths in the books... Because of your hard work as a yamen errand, today I won't punish you for making trouble for nothing."

Come on, back off!"

"We can't retreat!" Shen Xiaojia took a step forward with his head held high, took out a piece of rice paper covered with blood words from his arms, and shouted, "If you retreat, the old man from the fireworks shop and Mazi will die with their eyes open! If you retreat, the system will be destroyed."
