Walking out of the gate of Guangning Bo Mansion with Lin Lie and a few people, Lu Zhen felt a little dazed by the blazing sun on his head. At this moment, it seemed that those corpses were still alive in front of his eyes, so miserable and helpless, and a breath of air slowly rose from his heart.

Just now, because he had to deal with the old housekeeper and Guangning Bo Liu Xun who arrived one after another, Lu Zhen couldn't feel the impact yet. But now, the strength of the impact made it a little difficult for him to even take a step. Although there had been some speculations before, when the truth was revealed, it still greatly stimulated him, which was too cruel.

"My lord......" Seeing that Lu Jin's face was a little pale, Lin Lie couldn't help but ask with concern.

Lu Zhen withdrew from the nightmarish feeling and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just a little sad." I didn't expect me to have such a weak side, but it made you laugh. ”

In fact, his subordinates also have the same feeling, and their minds are still not calm. It is one thing to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is another thing to see the corpses of these innocent people who have been killed by people. Lin Lie also said with a heavy face.

It wasn't just the two of them, but the faces of the two officers who came out were even more ugly, and their bodies were gently swaying as if they had malaria. I was still unconscious under that pressure just now, but now when I came out, I remembered that the bones were dug up by myself, and the two of them were also frightened, so they almost vomited.

After Lu Zhen found out this, he exhaled a breath and cheered up: "This matter must not be settled casually, otherwise how can we comfort the souls of the deceased!" Lin Lie, what do you think we should do next? ”

Lin Lie glanced at Lu Zhen in some surprise, not knowing why he suddenly asked him. But he still gave his own meaning: "Didn't your lord express it just now, and I want to report it to the court." Then go to Suncheonfu? ”

Conventionally speaking, this is indeed the right choice, because Daxing County is indeed under the jurisdiction of Shun Tianfu, and if such a big thing happens, it will be reported to the boss Yamen. But Lu Zhen shook his head slightly: "If this matter is reported to Shuntianfu, I'm afraid there will be variables." It was because of the intervention of the Shuntian Mansion that Feng Changchun's death became an unsolved case, and they took the risk to do all this, probably to hide all this! ”

"That'...... What to do? Lin Lie also hesitated.

In fact, Lu Zhen asked this just to convince himself. Seeing Lin Lie's appearance, his gaze began to look forward: "What is the situation in the Shuntian Mansion, what will they do in this matter, I don't know, and I don't dare to gamble." As for the Criminal Department, it is the same, the phrase that officials protect each other is not a joke. Then you say, who else in this court is willing to clear the name of these dead? ”

"Hu Butang?" Lin Lie remembered Hu Hu and mentioned it.

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes, but shook his head again: "Hu Butang is a good official, and I sat in this position because of him, but he is only a secretary after all, and he can't interfere in this case." ”

"Who else could there be?" Lin Lie asked in a daze, he already had limited knowledge about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and the current case was so serious that it was really beyond his knowledge.

Lu Jin's eyebrows raised: "In this world, in this Beijing City, there is only one person in this city, I don't have to worry that he will shield Liu Xun and the people related to him." Who is he, you say? ”

"There is only one person...... Lin Lie was stunned for a moment, and then followed Lu Jin's gaze, and finally knew the answer in his heart: "My lord said that he should be today?" But ......, "But how can you go and tell the Son of Heaven about this case?" The Son of Heaven in the Ninefold Palace is not something that everyone can see. Although he is just a small errand officer from the border pass, he still understands this common sense, except for the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu, it is not easy for other important members of the court and the central government to see the Son of Heaven, not to mention that Lu Zhen is just a six-grade Jingxian county magistrate.

Lu Jin's gaze still fell straight on the majestic palace city in the distance, and he said leisurely: "There is always a way, but you need to take some risks." But for the sake of the dead, even if I take some risks, I will do it! With that, he straightened up, lifted the placket of his robe, and strode forward.

Although Lin Lie beside him didn't know what he wanted to do, he still dragged the lame leg and followed closely. As for the remaining two, after glancing at each other, they also followed. After entering Guangningbo's back garden with Lu Zhen and digging up those corpses, they had no way out.

In the southeast corner of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, there stands a tall wooden building, which is guarded by brocade guards and forbidden soldiers day and night.

In this regard, the officials and people in the capital have long been accustomed to it, because everyone knows what is on this upstairs - Dengwen Drum!

The Dengwen drum is said to have originated in the Great Song Dynasty, and was beaten by officials and people when they had important events to play the Son of Heaven, and this tradition then spread to the local state capitals and counties, and the drum at the entrance of the yamen was set up according to it.

However, the specifications of this Dengwen drum are much higher than the local drums, just its regulations, is countless times that of the drums, and its sound is more like the bell of Dalu, once it sounds, people can hear it for dozens of miles.

However, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the later dynasties, this Dengwen drum has always been only an ornament. It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, became emperor that he brought the role of the Dengwen drum to the extreme with his vigorous energy. It is rumored that at any time, as soon as the drum sounds, Zhu Yuanzhang will summon the person who beats the drum to question.

Therefore, at that time, the life of the official at the foot of the Son of Heaven was indeed very difficult, because if you did something wrong and made the people feel wronged, there would be someone who was bold enough to run to beat the drum to complain to the emperor, and the fate of the official would not be asked.

Because of this, after Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, some courtiers asked for exemption from this drum. Although Xuande did not approve this invitation, it became a fact that Dengwengu sent Jinyi guards to surround it, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it at all. Although the drum has not been removed, it has also been disguised as removing its role.

When something doesn't work for decades, people no longer remember what it was used for. The same is true of the Dengwen drum, the current officials and people in the capital only use it as an ornament, only the brocade guards guarding below, still rain or shine, carefully guarding it, not letting anyone approach.

When Lu Zhen led the three of them over step by step, those guards were obviously a little puzzled, what are these guys here for? It wasn't until he came to him that someone stopped him with a gun: "Don't get close in front of the drum, retreat quickly!" ”

"I am Lu Jin, the commander of Daxing County, and now there is a great grievance to show the Son of Heaven, only by hitting this Dengwen drum can I face the saint, and I hope you don't want to stop it!" Facing the spear head that only flashed with cold light, Lu Zhen was not afraid, and walked straight forward with his head held high, as if he couldn't see the tip of the gun in front of him.

At this time, the people behind him also noticed the strangeness here, and they all stopped to look, and some people whispered, guessing what this little official in the green robe was doing.

In the face of Lu Jin's action of not retreating but advancing, these guards were a little hesitant. Although they were ordered to guard the place and not to let the people approach, they did not receive instructions on what to do when officials came to them. What they were facing was a court official wearing an official uniform and an official hat, which made them a little overwhelmed, so they could only subconsciously take a step back, and at the same time continued to shout: "Lu County Order, don't mess around, this Dengwen drum is not something you can touch." ”

Lu Zhen turned a deaf ear, and only said: "Emperor Taizu set up the Dengwen Drum in order to let the Son of Heaven know the grievances of the subjects in the world. Now you are waiting to prevent the official from going upstairs to beat the drum, is this an attempt to disobey the holy decree? ”

Although his voice was not loud, his solemn tone put great pressure on the guards in front of him, and forced them to retreat again. This made Lu Zhen quickly walk under the wooden drum tower, and the stairs standing up the stairs were no more than a few feet away.

Seeing him approaching such a position, the military attache led by him was finally a little annoyed. If you really let this guy go upstairs and beat the drum to alarm the Son of Heaven, his own guilt will be great. I can't say it, I can only take down the people first!

After making up his mind, he broke off and shouted: "Take him down!" ”

With the leader's words, the morale of the guards who were forced to retreat just now was lifted, and several people rushed forward together, wanting to take down Lu Jin. And Lin Lie, who was following behind Lu Jin, saw this, his heart was also tight, and he wanted to step forward to stop him.

At this moment, a somewhat strange smile flashed on Lu Jin's face, his right hand clenched into a fist, and then bowed his head and bowed his waist-

Suddenly, a mutation sudden.

The guards who were determined to take the man, and Lin Lie, who wanted to step forward to protect him behind him, suddenly stopped in their movements, as if they had been cast a immobilization spell.

And Lu Jin, however, rushed forward at the fastest speed at this moment, and actually swept up the stairs in front of them by grazing their sides, and then took three steps and made two steps, and rushed to the huge drum that was about the height of a person, and looked about the size of a small room, made of rhinoceros skin.

Without any hesitation, Lu Zhen had already taken the drumstick hanging on the edge of the drum, which was the thickness of an adult's arm, wrapped with gold wire, and half a human length.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Zhen clenched the end of the drumstick with both hands, and then suddenly exerted force, raised it high above his head, and then swung it forward with his waist force.

The drumsticks fell with the sound of the wind, slammed heavily on the drum, and then exploded with a bang—"Boom! ”

Lu Zhen didn't stop for a moment, he swung up and down again, and with the elasticity of the drum surface, he struck it quickly.

The huge and heavy drum sound of "Knock ......" echoed inside and outside the palace, and the Dengwen Drum, which had not been touched for decades, sounded again on this day!
