A child, standing in front of the mountainous Chengtian Gate and under the huge war drum, looked so small and helpless.
His thin arms struggled to swing the drumstick, which was thicker than his thigh, and hit the war drum with all his strength.
Boom!
Weak, but shocking.
Boom!
It seems to hit people's hearts.
Boom!
It seemed that the city walls were trembling.
Boom!
It seemed that the magnificent Miyagi opened its eyes.
A drop of crystal liquid fell into the wind along with the child's hair.
The wind blew his messy hair aside, and what was glistening there was not sweat, but tears hanging like beads on his face.
Boom, he swung the drumstick with difficulty. With every stroke, his thin body trembled, his chest heaved violently, and his tears became more and more violent.
Grandson, work harder!
Facing the direction of Chengtianmen, the kneeling old woman was crying and shouting.
The child bit his lip and waved the drumstick again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the sound of drums, the old woman faced the Chengtian Gate, bowed to the ground devoutly, and let out the most heart-rending cry from her heart, "I'm so sorry!"
The officials who came out of the palace were shocked. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor Que vindicated the injustices of hundreds of people in the world, which meant that tomorrow would be clear. In the twenty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, an old woman and a child were actually killed today.
Ring.
The veteran soldiers guarding the imperial city were holding the hilts of their swords tightly with murderous expressions on their faces. Ordinary people would die if they entered the imperial city. However, the emperor himself said that those who complain about injustice must not be stopped.
Countless imperial guardsmen tightly surrounded the grandfather and grandson. They turned their backs to the two, forming an iron-clad human wall behind them.
Immediately afterwards, countless deafening hoofbeats sounded, and hundreds of golden-helmeted knights filed out of the imperial city. The two generals in the lead, with their backs and shoulders, were stern and inviolable.
On the left hand side is Mei Yin, the consort commander of the Imperial City Guards. On the right hand side is Li Jinglong, the commander of the pro-army forces in front of the palace. The two of them are on war horses, with solemn expressions and eyes like knives.
Who is knocking?
In the wind, the mane on the neck of the war horse was flying in the wind, and the voice of Mei Yin, the commander-in-chief on the horse, was like spring thunder.
The drumming stopped, and the child who was playing the drum ran to his grandmother and knelt down respectfully.
The old woman raised her head, straightened her grandson's wrinkled skirt, and used half a comb to comb her grandson's hair. Then she took out a handkerchief and wiped their heads and faces clean.
Her movements were very slow, as if she were performing a pious ritual.
Then, the old woman screamed sharply, the women of the people, the Zhao family of the Ming Dynasty, knocked on the que and complained of injustice!
Prince Consort Mei Yin paused and said loudly, Your Majesty has arrived and is waiting here! Then, he flicked his whip, where is the guard?
Here! The sounds of countless tigers and tigers rang out.
Line up to welcome His Majesty’s grandson!
Here!
The cavalry and infantry formed a formation at the foot of Chengtian Gate.
Then, there was silence between heaven and earth, with only the faint sound of wind. Gradually the dark clouds above their heads dispersed, and the armor on the guards' bodies emitted a dazzling light, like heavenly soldiers and generals.
Suddenly, uniform footsteps sounded.
In the doorway of Chengtian Gate, one hundred and twenty-eight palace servants dressed in brocade robes slowly came out carrying a huge royal chariot. The emperor and the crown prince, dressed in royal robes and robes, lined up behind the dragon chair and throne.
in.
stop!
In Pu Bucheng's sharp voice, the imperial chariot suddenly stopped and landed under the majestic gate tower of Chengtian Gate.
Zhu Yunxi slowly stood up on the throne. The breeze blew their crowns, revealing his eyes, allowing him to see the scene in front of him clearly.
It was them! Zhu Yunxi recognized the grandfather and grandson who were kneeling together and hugging each other twenty steps away.
I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the great grandson of the emperor. Who is knocking at the door? Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly.
The old woman was trembling nervously, but she still shouted with all her strength, Mrs. Zhao, a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, a beloved citizen of Hangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. She suffered a great injustice, so she knocked on the que and prayed to heaven for justice!
The first ten steps! Zhu Yunxi continued.
The old woman and child were so frightened that they were weak. Several Jinjiasu guards carried them and placed them ten steps in front of the imperial chariot.
The imperial chariot representing the imperial power was right in front of her, and the old woman suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, it's unfair to let a commoner woman make the decision!"
The old man put his arm on Zhu Yunxi's arm and stood up with a straight face, "I am the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang. If you have any grievances, report them directly! If it is true, I will give you justice. If it is a false accusation, the Yi tribe will
!
Boom, the old woman kowtowed vigorously on the stone slab.
The emperor, the emperor, and the empress are here, and everything the common woman said is true. If there is even half a lie, the whole family will fall into the eighteen hells, and they will not be reincarnated for generations to come! The old woman cried loudly, knocking and knocking while crying.
Tao: White hair, flying in the wind, like silver threads.
Zhu Yunxi felt that the old man grabbed his hand and suddenly exerted force.
Take five steps forward and speak!
Immediately afterwards, the old woman and the child were carried directly to a place very close to the royal chariot.
Ms. Zhao, a civilian woman, was from Jixianli, Hangzhou. She had a family of nine, including an old woman and her husband, two sons, two daughters-in-law, one daughter and one grandchild.
The housewives are kind-hearted people. The husband works at the dock, and the two sons help in the cloth yard. The housewife takes her daughter with her, and the daughter-in-law weaves and mends at home. Although life is hard, she still has enough food and clothing. On weekdays, I obey the law and abide by the law.
An honest family praised by the neighbors!
Unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky!
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the housewives were having a family reunion. A group of wolf-like police officers rushed into the house and took my son away, saying he had committed a heinous crime!
A civilian woman and her child worked in a cloth factory and passed by Rouge Lane every night when they came home from work. The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, in an academy in Rouge Lane, the master of the academy, Qin Shishi, and his maid were raped and murdered. Just because my son was joking with his friends when he passed by.
However, if he had to sleep with Miss Qin, he would have no regrets in his life, and he would be framed as a murderer.
The child was imprisoned and was taken into custody on the same day to plead guilty. The woman and her husband went to the Yamen to inquire, but we were not allowed to visit.
Later, the husband of a civilian woman broke down the family and sold the house, and bribed the supervisor so that he could see my son.
My little son was pitiful, he had been beaten to the point where he was no longer human, his muscles and bones were broken. When he saw the face of the civilian woman, my little son cried out in a pool of blood.
The old woman's voice changed from a shout to a hoarse roar.
My son said, Mom, I can't stand it when they beat me. The official said that as long as I confess, he will not beat me again. I am unjust! I am unjust!
At that time, the woman asked, "Son, is what you said true?"
My son said, if it is not true, I would be willing to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts and live as a pig or a dog for generations to come!
The old woman's voice was extremely hoarse. At that time, my son stretched out his hand, and there were no nails on his ten fingers, and the flesh and blood were all bloody!
It's a pity that a commoner's wife has two children, the eldest Zhao Zhili and the younger Zhao Zhixin. They are both kind and kind children. When they are more than 20 years old, they have never had a dispute with anyone. They are afraid of killing chickens. How can they kill people!
On the day of the incident, my son went home early and bought two kilograms of mooncakes from the pastry shop!
Besides, there are two guardians in the academy, a maid and the master of the academy. How can my son rape and kill two people silently?
A civilian woman and her husband went to the government office in Hangzhou to beat drums and complain about the injustice. However, the Hangzhou magistrate said that all the witnesses and material evidence were there, and it was an ironclad case.
The witness from the Yamen was just a friend with whom my son was joking. The physical evidence was a bloody suit that was not worn by my son at all.
The husband of the common man and the official came to the court to tell each other. The clothes my son wore were all made of coarse cloth woven at home. The bloody clothes were made of silk. How could I, a poor Zhao family, afford it?
As a result, the official was furious and my husband gave me twenty sticks with a cane in court.
That day, the husband of the peasant woman was angry and angry, so he left that night. Before leaving, he held the peasant woman's hand and said only two words: "Avenge me!"
A family with a good-natured woman was suddenly ruined.
The eldest son knew the etiquette and went to the government witness to argue with him. He was so angry that he fought with the official. He was also imprisoned, tattooed and exiled to the army, and was sent to Yunnan!
The civilian woman sold her property and went to the Chief Secretary's Yamen to file a complaint. But the Yamen didn't even accept the complaint!
That night, even more strongmen broke into my house and snatched away my daughter-in-law. The strongman said that if I complained again, my eldest daughter-in-law, a civilian woman, would be sold to a prostitute. If she still didn't listen, my whole family would be killed!
Women are already homeless, what should they fear?
The whole family left the city overnight and wanted to go to Beijing to complain!
But as soon as they entered Yangzhou, officials from Hangzhou came after them. The old woman and her grandson escaped by luck, but the daughter and eldest daughter-in-law of the common people were caught!
Today, if it had not been for the help of noble people, the civilian woman would have been captured by Hangzhou officials outside Yingtian City!
Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Emperor’s Grandson!
Blood gushed out from the corners of the old woman's mouth, and her thin body kowtowed on the ground like duckweed in the wind.
Please bring justice to the women, give my Zhao family a clean reputation, and give my husband and son their lives!
~~I went for infusion and dressing change in the afternoon, but it was delayed. I'll give everyone more supplies, and I'll give them to you in the middle of the night.
