If Pu Ting were aware of the existence of the two of them, he would definitely stop them from going to Kyoto to redress their grievances, and if necessary, he would secretly send assassins to arrive.

They only had one chance to make a move, and if they missed a single blow, they would die with no place to be buried.

In order to tilt the people's wind in their favor and make it more conducive to clearing up their grievances and ascertaining the truth, it is their best choice to go to the platform to beat the drum and voice their grievances.

Once the drum is sounded, it will alarm tens of thousands of people in Shangjing, and the Criminal Department will definitely take over, and this matter will also be laid out on the surface, and no one will dare to take it lightly.

The people know very well that beating the drum to avenge their grievances means that they have great grievances, and it is difficult to protect their lives whether they succeed or not.

Most people will be on the side of the weak, spitting on the guilty.

Under the excitement of the crowd, even the high-ranking Emperor Jin An can only pay attention to it.

It's just that after the incident broke out, no matter what the outcome was, the father and son must have been the victims of this matter.

However, since they dare to find Shangjing, it means that they have prepared for the worst before they come, and if they really can't return their innocence, they will also grab the land with their heads and enter the underground mansion to make amends to the victims.

Yang Yishu calculated everything, if the matter of redress can be successful, not only will he avenge Pu Ting's assassination, but also give an explanation to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so that the Yang family will not have to worry about it.

In every way, he is a beneficiary.

Driven by profits, there is nothing to do.

……

Early the next morning, the hazy night had not completely faded, and the first glimmer of the morning was hidden among the clouds.

There is no one in the middle of the city, and in the middle of the market, there is a tall platform that rises several feet high in the middle of the busy street, which is quiet and unoccupied because of the premature silence.

On the high platform, there is a breeze large enough for several people to embrace.

When the faint light penetrated through the clouds, the rooster crow resounded through every house, the doors of shops were opened one by one, and the cold streets gradually gained some popularity, a young man in ragged clothes, seriously injured, and covered in blood struggled to climb the only wooden ladder to the grievance platform.

This is a man's way to survive, and it is also a man's way to redress his grievances.

Every time the man landed, he could cause the plank under his feet to tremble, and the heaviness of his steps reflected the pain in his eyes that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The people who went out to shop early in the morning were crowded with slaves, and soon someone found the man who was approaching the grievance platform at a turtle speed.

One is a little girl with a double bun of hair out with her mother, she rubbed her eyes that remained sleepy, inadvertently looked up at the high platform, and suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Mother, look, there's someone on that ladder!"

Hearing this, the woman did not raise her head, leaned over the head of the soft little girl with a doting face, and said: "That's the grievance platform, if you go up, you will lose half of your life, it is said that no one has gone up for more than ten years, is the little girl mistaken?" ”

Xiaoya raised her finger, obviously anxious: "Xiaoya is not mistaken, there are people up there!" ”

Seeing that the child insisted, the woman frowned slightly, but did not refute much, and looked in the direction she pointed.

At this glance, she really saw a vague figure, slowly walking towards the high platform.

If one person finds out, it means that everyone has the opportunity to find out, and soon, the crowd of onlookers stood under the grievance platform.

Someone shouted at the man below: "Little brother, the grievance drum is not good, you have to think twice!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately shouted: "Once you beat the drum of redress of grievances, can you clear up your grievances, it is certain to lose half of your life!" ”

The miscellaneous exhortations sounded one by one, but no one's voice could enter the man's ears, the man seemed to be enchanted, and at this moment he only had the wind drum in front of him that could help him avenge his family's grievances.

Finally, in front of everyone's eyes, he took off the short cane placed next to the drum with trembling hands, and then raised his arm high and knocked it down without hesitation!

With the exclamations of many people, the sound of drums at first faded the last confused night.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The man waved his arms, harder and harder, and the sound was farther and farther.

The sound of drumming was transmitted to the East Palace, to the Jun family, and to the Yang Mansion......

As if only in this way did his months of wandering and running really get the value.

Someone ascended to the platform to redress grievances, and the news of beating drums and shouting grievances spread to every corner of Shangjing in an instant like having wings.

Even the three-year-old boy tried to run out of the house to watch the excitement, and was finally caught by the elders of the family.

The bloodied man continued to beat tirelessly, and no one could see his expression at this time, they could only know from the calm and powerful sound of the drum that he had been greatly wronged.

I don't know how long it has been, but the official in charge of handling the case in the Criminal Department was awakened from his dream by the noise.

When he woke up, when he heard the vibration that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately got up from the couch and led his men to walk non-stop in the direction of the grievance platform.

"Master Sun is here!"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted such a sentence, and soon, the impenetrable people who surrounded the grievance platform automatically gave way to both sides, which was enough for Sun Jing to pass safely.

Not everyone has the courage to redress grievances, even if Sun Jing is an official of the imperial court, he can only wait below at this time.

He looked up and paused slightly when his gaze touched the bloodied man.

The entourage next to him understood, mustered up all his strength, and shouted again at the top: "Master Sun of the Criminal Department is here!" ”

Hearing this, the man who had been stiffly repeating the same action finally had a reaction, his distracted eyes rolled twice with difficulty, and he stood on the high platform and looked down on everyone below.

After a long time, the man finally came down from the high platform, perhaps too badly injured, his steps looked stiff, and his body swayed from time to time, making people worry about whether he would roll down the ladder.

After coming to Sun Jing, the man didn't say a word, and knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.

"Grass people Bai Yi, I've seen Master Sun."

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a wooden vessel in disrepair, and if you listened closely, there was a slight snoring sound in your throat.

"According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, those who ascend to the platform for redress of grievances will be exempted from liability if the grievances are true."

"Ascend to the grievance platform, Chen Bubai's grievances, this official is Sun Jing, the case acceptor of the Criminal Department's grievance platform, what grievances do you have, just talk about it carefully."

Bai Yi kowtowed to the bottom, and the words were clear and calm: "Bai Yi, the grass people, sued the household department Shangshu Puting for corruption and bribery, withheld the grain for disaster relief, and collected taxes indiscriminately in remote places, resulting in the destruction of the grass people's families, and the people in remote places are not able to make a living!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Sun Jing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said seriously: "Slandering the imperial court officials, according to the law, he should be exiled for thousands of miles, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life." ”

Bai Yi raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshots, he couldn't suppress the resentment and sadness in his heart, and said indignantly: "The grass people came thousands of miles away, and they died nine times on the way, and finally stepped on the platform for redress, can't they get a chance to redress their grievances?" ”

The loud accusation exploded in the crowd, and Sun Jing couldn't help but sink in his heart for a while.

He has served in the Criminal Department for many years, and he has never seen any kind of case, but this person has come to sue the Household Department, and he really can't call the shots.

I don't know who saw Sun Jing's hesitation, and raised his voice: "According to my Great Jin law, anyone who ascends to the platform of redress, no matter what he says, who he accuses, the Criminal Department must not be lazy, and will do its best to investigate and return the truth to the world!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people hurriedly helped: "Yes, the law is like this, Lord Sun will accept this case!" ”

"Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, we must first check it out, if it is false, it is just right to return Master Pu's innocence, take 10,000 steps back, if what he said is true, the criminal department cannot let the prisoner go unpunished."

"That makes sense."

"The Criminal Department will accept it, the grievance redress desk is not a fictitious one."

The chaotic voice exploded in his ears, and a sense of pride rose from the bottom of his heart, isn't it the second-grade member of the imperial court? Even the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the courtiers.

Sun Jing's hesitation disappeared in an instant.

He raised his hand, and his momentum was not weak: "Take the plaintiff Bai Yi into custody first,"

As soon as these words came out, the chaotic commotion came to an abrupt end, and the people consciously moved out of the way, and the officers and soldiers stepped forward to arrest the personnel.

Bai Yi looked stunned, straightened his back and knelt on the ground, and they tied himself up and pushed him into the torture car.

During the escort, more people heard the news and came with many comforts on the way, saying that there are gods on the way, and the wicked will be rewarded.

While Bai Yi's heart was moved, the heaviness did not decrease in the slightest.

He knew that now this matter was just the beginning, and the path he was going to take next was really dangerous, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as nine deaths.

After returning to the Criminal Department non-stop, he felt that the matter was too involved, Sun Jing knew that he had a few taels and did not dare to take it alone, so he immediately reported to the chief Tian Shengyang.

Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Yi fixedly, and ordered in a heavy tone: "Lock him up in a dark prison, no one is allowed to trespass without my order, and a few patrols are being transferred to guard it, and there must be no slackness!" ”

The prison of the Criminal Department is heavily guarded, and the secret prison is even more than ten steps and one sentry, and all the prisoners who are locked in it have no possibility of escaping.

It is said to be a guard, but in fact it is protection.

Today's incident is too big, and it is a second-class member who is suing, presumably some deaf and clear-sighted courtiers have already secretly learned the news, and are thinking about how to shut up Bai Yi.

As the first person to accept this matter, Sun Jing couldn't let him die under his nose, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to the people or the people above.

Yes, just in case, he had to be cautious.

After finishing the order, Sun Jing didn't dare to delay any longer, turned around and strode towards the court of the Criminal Department, and reported the matter to the authorities one by one.

Hearing this, Tian Shengyang, the head of the Criminal Department, stood up suddenly, extremely shocked: "What you said is true?!" ”
