The next morning, a ray of light pierced the gray sky like a sharp sword, clear and ethereal, and the slight autumn wind carried the sound of falling leaves, like a group of high-flying larks singing happily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shen Yan took Cheng Ke'er and Uncle Seven and others to walk slowly on the street, the early risers had already begun to set up stalls and solicit business, Shen Yan smiled and passed by everyone who passed by, and slowly walked in the direction of Jinling Mansion.

"Brother Shen, are we really going to Jinling Mansion to beat the drums?" Cheng Ke'er followed closely behind Shen Yan, a hint of sorrow appeared on her pretty face, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, and she asked lightly.

"Why don't you go, we have a reason, I don't believe that Jinling Mansion dares to shield Su Shifu, I will definitely sue Su Shifu for slander." A faint hint of confidence appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he turned his head and gave Cheng Ke'er a comforting and encouraging look.

"I'm not worried about this, it's just that I've never heard the word slander." A trace of doubt and worry flashed in Cheng Ke'er's eyes, since the founding of Great Xia, there has never been a charge of defamation.

"Yes, Shen Yan, I have never heard of this word after living for so long, we are worried that there is no precedent for this matter, and it is not easy for Jinling Mansion to sentence and decide." Uncle Seven followed behind Cheng Ke'er and said, with a trace of worry and doubt in his eyes.

"Don't worry, everything has me, I will never let people bully Wangjiang Tower, Seventh Uncle, and Ke'er and be indifferent, and I will definitely surprise those who are still coveting the Wangjiang Tower industry." Shen Yan had the news that Fang Butong and Chang Wu had found out in his mind, and said confidently.

"Well, Uncle Seven and I both believe in you and will support you unconditionally." Although there was still a trace of worry in Cheng Keer's eyes, there was more of a sense of trust and sweetness.

Shen Yan and the others then did not talk about this matter, but chatted about the short words of the parents and slowly walked to the yamen of Jinling Mansion, Shen Yan showed a faint smile on his face, and stood quietly in front of the drum drum of Jinling Mansion, seeing that the official had not yet stood guard, he took out the drumstick from the drum stand, and gently tried the weight of the drumstick and the strength of the beating with both hands, and then hit the drum surface fiercely, and the drum made a knocking sound.

"Who has the audacity to come and beat the drum to express grievances?" After the drum sounded a few times, several officials ran out in a panic, with a faint look of surprise and anger in their eyes, the drum in front of Jinling Mansion had not been beaten for many years.

"Is that you?" Shen Yan's previous performance in Jinling Mansion was brilliant, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of these officials, so when he saw Shen Yan slowly turn around, a thick surprise appeared on his face, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open as if he couldn't speak, and then a government official with a slightly faster mind asked in surprise.

"What, I'm not welcome?" A faint smile appeared on Shen Yan's handsome face, as if the spring breeze was blowing at a few flustered officials, and said with a smile.

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." Several officials looked at each other, not daring to look directly at Shen Yan's smiling eyes, who didn't know that Shen Yan had won the favor of the emperor since the wonderful performance of Jinling Mansion, which was a blessing from the smoke of the ancestral tomb for several lifetimes, and it seemed to have become the idol that these low-level officials longed for in their hearts.

"What about me, the drum is also beating, I don't know when I can enter the lobby?" Shen Yan already looked at a few officials with a smile, he was here to make trouble, but there was no need to keep a straight face on these low-level officials, in addition to showing his prestige, he would not get any benefits, it was better to establish a harmonious atmosphere with these low-level officials, maybe it could have some unexpected effects.

"Please, the prefect and the same lord will definitely enter the lobby quickly after hearing the drums, and then go through the normal process." An older official seemed to feel Shen Yan's smile like a spring breeze, and his panicked and nervous mood became much easier, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he made a gesture of invitation.

"Lord Song, Lord Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, the two adults are ruddy and red-faced, it seems that the life of the two adults is very blessed during this time." Shen Yan stood in the middle of the lobby in a comfortable and comfortable posture, last time because he was detained, he couldn't really let go, so he didn't dare to blatantly glance at it, this time it was different, he scanned the layout of the lobby in a relaxed mood, and saw Song Wei and Yu Xiaoze walking in one after another with expressionless faces, and quickly retracted his gaze, and gave a salute to Song Wei and Yu Xiaoze.

"How about you." When Song Wei saw Shen Yan's figure, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiaoze, seeing that Yu Xiaoze's face was no different from his own, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in his heart, the drum of grievances in front of the yamen had never been sounded since he took office.

The founding emperor of Great Xia issued a special decree ordering a drum to be set up in front of the gate of the official offices at all levels, and stipulated that the drum sounded, no matter when the official must go to the court, in order to show the convenience of the people and the virtue of government.

But with the passage of time, the drum has evolved into an important symbol of whether the local officials are clean officials and good officials, so the local government for their own political achievements and the plaque hanging high in the hall, try their best to prohibit the people from beating the drum and crying out through intimidation, coercion and other means, and finally the drum has become a kind of decoration, the people have not sounded the drum for many years, but they never thought that they were made an exception by Shen Yan today, which is equivalent to declaring that Song Wei and Yu Xiaoze are not good officials and clean officials. I can't imagine how ugly Song Wei and Yu Xiaoze's faces were.

"Why, Lord Song doesn't seem to welcome the lower officials." Looking at the pickled melon-colored faces of the two, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Shen Yan, don't you know the role of the drum of grievances?" Yu Xiaoze asked with a roaring voice.

"You know, isn't it used to beat the drum for the people?" Shen Yan replied lightly.

"Since you know, then you still come to beat the drums and play with me." Hearing that Shen Yan was knowingly guilty, Yu Xiaoze's eyes almost erupted with fire, and he looked at Shen Yan coldly, and when he saw Song Wei's face in the afterglow of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if Shen Yan was a scoundrel who no one could control.

"My lord, you are slandering the lower officials, of course, the lower officials came to sound the drum because they wanted to get a fair and strict trial from the adults, and the lower officials were innocent." Seeing the angry and corrupt looks of the two, Shen Yan still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said without being salty.
