Chapter 131 Beat the drum

After Eunuch Zhou finished announcing the decree, many guards with swords broke in, divided into several teams, and headed towards different houses. Without even looking at the Yun family, he snorted and smiled, with a very clear purpose. She walked towards the study room. Mrs. Liu knelt on the ground, the coldness spreading all over her body from bottom to top. She clenched her fists and listened to the content of the imperial edict with a pale face. Rushing for success? After all, the emperor still defied all parties. Pressure, will this crime be assigned to the general? Will the Yun family's century-old military mansion be completely destroyed in the end because of these four words of eagerness for success? How ridiculous, how ironic. This is imperial power, this is the emperor The art? Yun Qing bit her lip, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and growled: "I must kill these beasts... I must kill them. My father and eldest brother are both dead, They will crush us into dust..." Yun Luan replied lightly: "No, this is not the worst..." Mrs. Liu turned to look at Yun Luan: "Luan'er, what are you talking about? mean?"

Yun Luan raised his head and stared at Mrs. Liu with blazing eyes: "Mother, do you still remember that Han Dang once placed a letter of collaboration with the enemy and treason in his father's study?"

Mrs. Liu's face suddenly turned pale: "Is the search of the house just a pretext? They want to find letters of collaboration with the enemy and the country. Is this their real purpose?"

A hint of sneer flashed in Yun Luan's eyes, and he nodded slowly and noncommittally. "Their purpose is not to crush us into dust, but to drive us all away, leaving no one behind. Mother, tell me, we are waiting to die in silence like this." Or should you stand up and resist? If we don’t fight hard, maybe there will be no way for us people to survive. What you said about going back to the mountains and wilderness is just a delusion."

"The people above want all of our lives, and they won't let us go easily. Mother, at this point, are you still thinking about giving in?"

There was a bit of dizziness in front of Mrs. Liu's eyes. She knelt on the ground, her figure was shaky and almost unsteady. "Then what should we do? Now, we have reached a dead end, and we have no way to defeat the enemy. ah."

Yun Luan raised his hand and supported her arm. "Mother, who said there is no way to defeat the enemy? Since they are bent on killing us and trying to cover up the truth, then I will risk my life and give this day to Reveal... let all the people in the world see how a generation of loyal ministers and good generals were poisoned by people like them from the royal family..." Mrs. Liu took a breath of air, and she held the back of Yun Luan's hand with her backhand: "Luan'er, what are you going to do? What?"

A dark light flashed in Yun Luan's eyes, and she smiled coldly. "I want to break the news, expose the truth, and let everyone see their ugly faces... I want to see how they behave in the face of power. How they killed each other, how they shirk responsibility..." She said, slowly standing up from the ground. She turned to look at Yun Qing: "Third sister, you stay in the house and take care of mother and the others. Remember this. , Anyone who dares to lay a finger on our family members will be killed without mercy. There are many black feather guards in this mansion. If you give the order, they will obey your orders..." "I will hand over all our family members. I’ve given it to you. Before I come back, you are not allowed to relax or let them suffer any harm.”

Yun Qing's eyes were slightly red, and she picked up the soft whip lying next to her: "Don't worry, Xiaosi, I will definitely protect my family and prevent you from being distracted. Whatever you want to do, just do it, I will always be yours The most solid backing.”

Mrs. Liu was extremely panicked. She held Yun Luan's hand tightly: "Luan'er, what on earth are you going to do? Don't take risks easily. If anything happens, our family will find a solution together."

Yun Luan leaned over and hugged Mrs. Liu tightly. Her little face was gently rubbed in her mother's warm arms. "Mother... my father and eldest brother died unjustly. I can't let them take care of me." Buried with this stigma. Prince Rui wants to make our Yun family bear a bad name and bear the responsibility of collaborating with the enemy and treason. He wants to push us into a dead end... I will not fulfill his wish. I want to beat the drum and sue the emperor. I want all the people in the world to see how this corrupt court forced a generation of loyal ministers and generals to death."

Mrs. Liu's heart suddenly jumped. She hugged Yun Luan tightly and couldn't help but cry: "Luan'er..." Beating the drum to inform the emperor, once embarked on this road, there will be countless Many thorns and hardships are waiting for her ahead. She is only sixteen years old this year, how can she shoulder such a heavy burden? "If you can't retreat, you can only advance..." Yun Luan gently patted Mrs. Liu on the shoulder: "Yun Luan I can risk my life for the country and the people, shed my blood, and devote my life. However, I will never let my father and elder brother die unjustly..." Madam Liu was heartbroken and couldn't help crying: "Luan'er, Don’t you want to die? Once the Denwen drum is beaten, the punishments alone will kill half of your life... How can you, a daughter of a family, afford it?"

Once the Denwen drum is beaten, the drummer must bear the power of twenty sticks. Those sticks are much thicker and heavier than the previous torture tools. A hundred boards with ordinary torture tools may be life-threatening. But this is a killing blow. The stick does not require a hundred boards, but fifty boards are enough to beat a strong adult man to death. Because of the power of this killing stick, few people will beat the Dengwen drum. Since the founding of Nanchu , the number of times the Dengwen drum has been beaten, can be counted on one finger. Mrs. Liu can't imagine that if Luan'er had to withstand these twenty killing sticks, she would not only die but also be injured... This body must be... Completely ruined. She shook her head, with tears streaming down her face, and tried her best to oppose Yun Luan: "Luan'er, I don't allow you to go. If you want to go, it's me who should go. I am the head of the family now..." Yun Luan knew, She couldn't convince Ms. Liu, so she stopped persuading her. She took advantage of Ms. Liu's inattention and clicked on her acupuncture point. Ms. Liu was almost about to collapse. She screamed: "Yunluan, I am your mother. I am your mother." For the sake of your children, you must listen to me...you are not allowed to go, do you hear that?"

Yun Luan turned a deaf ear and handed Mrs. Liu over to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I will leave my mother to you. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my eldest brother..." "Father and eldest brother must not be buried in such infamy. .They came innocently, and they must leave innocently..." The sister-in-law choked and cried, supporting Mrs. Liu and nodded towards Yun Luan: "Xiaosi, you can go without worry, the sister-in-law will protect us with the third sister. family."
