Chapter 59: Wife and Husband Rong 25
Blood splattered on the dragon drum
I heard him say, "Are you here to beat the dragon drum?" ”
Onyx nodded and said, "Yes, I have a great grievance, and I must beat the dragon drum." ”
The guard said with a cold face: "Then do you know the rules of beating the dragon drum?" ”
Onyx shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, please let me know." ”
"There are three conditions for beating the dragon drum, one does not match, and none of them can be beaten, even if it snows in June, this is the rule.
The first condition is that the drummer must go up and down the fire; The second condition, the 10,000-character blood book; The third condition is that the blood is sprinkled on the dragon drum. ”
Onyx was shocked, so where is there still life? How do you sue if you don't die?
Onyx looked at the guard in confusion, the guard didn't look down on people, he seemed to be this cold look, talking to everyone.
Another guard kindly said to them: "This dragon drum has been there since the beginning of the three hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, and no one has knocked it, but someone knocked it a hundred years ago, but it was the queen mother, because it was a false accusation, so the emperor at that time was angry, and as a result, he set the rules for the complainant, as long as he can hold on to his last breath and not die, he can see the emperor.
Before you see the emperor, there will be a doctor who will let you hold on to see the emperor. Which of you knocks? It's almost time, right? The emperor and his ministers are about to go down to court. ”
Onyx was heartbroken and said, "I'll come, if I unfortunately die, is it okay to let him continue?" ”
The cold guard nodded, then brought a wine jug over and said, "People say that wine can strengthen courage, and this is for you to drink." ”
The agate was about to drink, but the coachman quickly grabbed it and said, "I'll come first, then let you do these things as a girl?" If I'm unfortunate enough to die, you continue. ”
Onyx immediately grabbed the wine jug and said: "You know me, I will definitely not survive this time, and if I can survive here, I won't be able to live when I get to the Jinluan Palace, but you still have a chance." I'll do it. After speaking, he took two large sips of wine.
After drinking the agate, he put it in his clothes and did not return it to him, and said, "This wine is good, I borrowed it, and he will have a chance to return it to you in the future." ”
After saying that, he shook to get the drumstick, and he struck it.
In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor listened powerlessly to his courtiers discussing political affairs like shrews scolding the street, and he was helpless to the extreme. Every month the Great Dynasty is such a waste of time, and he is thinking about whether it is necessary to hold a Great Dynasty meeting.
The chief eunuch Deng saw that the last pillar of incense had burned out, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and happily thought that he had finally gone to court, and he was starving to death.
So he whispered in the emperor's ear that the time had come, and when he saw that the emperor's brows were relaxed, he shouted happily: "There is something to play, there is no ......" "Bang... Boom... Bang ............. roar... Roar... Roar"
At this time, everyone in the main hall was shocked, this is the sound of a dragon? Where did the dragon come at this time? Everyone looked up in the direction of the emperor.
They were all thinking about what they had done to provoke Shenlong, only that Manager Deng's face changed greatly, because he had heard the legend, who would remember to climb the dragon drum in this dynasty? Only he heard his godfather say, he was only 3-4 years old at that time, he remembered his godfather who said that the dragon drum, after the sound, there will be a dragon chanting, the dragon yin for the grievances to seek justice, there is the son of heaven to decide, and the civil and military officials together to re-examine the case, on the Jinluan Palace, the same day to make a ruling.
Manager Deng immediately said this in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face suddenly changed, what happened?
So he asked the imperial guards to come over and give a few words, and then asked the guards to check.
He asked the ministers who were sitting down: "Shangshu of the Criminal Department, has your Criminal Department recently tried an unjust case wrongly, a wrong case?" ”
Master Zhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the emperor asking him like this, and then thought of the dragon groan he had just heard, Lord Zhang immediately got up and knelt down in the middle of the main hall, bowed his head and said: "The minister has recently tried 30 cases, 25 of which are tried, two of the 5 are civil disputes, which do not involve homicides, and three are cases of fugitive slaves and theft, none of which are homicides. ”
"Master Zhang, you really have a good memory, of the 25 cases, there are only 3-5 homicides, why don't you tell them first? You old fox, you can really pull people into the water. ”
"That's it, Lord Zhang, you are so afraid of death, it is better to hand over your Shangshu and let me sit down, I promise that I will not shirk."
"Master Zhang, everyone is here for these things, let's talk about it, although every major case has to be tried by three divisions, but I really only participated in 2-3 cases.
"You, you, really, you don't know what's going on, you just shouted, do you know what the dragon's moan just now?"
After hearing this, everyone still looked at me, I looked at you, and finally shook their heads.
The man said, "That's the dragon drum." ”
Everyone took a deep breath, this, who has the courage to do this.
At this moment, the guard who went out to check came back and hugged his fists and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it was a woman who beat the dragon drum, and a man who traveled with him, and they jointly sued Princess Suyu's righteous daughter Miss Mo Yan, who poisoned Zhu Mama to death, and now she has poisoned her, and wants to kill her whole family, she asks the emperor to call the shots." ”
The emperor was shocked, but his face did not change. That Mama Zhu was agreed by the Queen Mother, but why didn't the palace maid find the Queen Mother when she was poisoned? And if she wants to beat the dragon drum, does she know that it is useless to ask the queen mother, she may die faster, and she will not know what to do, so she is beating the dragon drum, this is to force me again, give her an explanation? When did a palace maid have such guts? Is it because I'm going to die? Want to protect your family?
So the emperor thought for a while and said: "Let her stop knocking, I will give her the decision now, her family will be fine, let her be healed well, maybe there will be salvation." ”
The guard did not retreat to deliver the decree, but bowed his head and continued: "Your Majesty, she has passed the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and now she is writing a 10,000-character book with blood, and she is almost finished. ”
Mr. Deng was shocked, this, how many grievances did this suffer from Miss Mo Yan, this agate seems to be still a female official with rank, so he lowered his head and whispered to the emperor The identity of this agate, she is the person given by the queen, and she is still a female official with official rank.
The emperor glanced at Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng willingly withdrew from the Jinluan Palace, and went to the harem to Kunling Palace, where the queen lived.
Besides, the dragon bulged, the coachman took off his mattress, tore it into white strips, and wrote a blood book of 10,000 characters, and the agate was resting against the horn of the drum. Seeing that she was covered in blood, she still gritted her teeth and insisted on not fainting, and the cold guard couldn't bear to see her like this, so he took a glass of water and handed it to her.
Onyx took it and smelled it, it smelled very strong, this notoginseng, but it is a miracle medicine for blood and wound healing, this medicine is only available in the palace, and then in the barracks, she drank it when she just drank, it was the wine of notoginseng, and there were some years, and after drinking, I didn't feel how painful it was to walk on the blade road, and the fire carbon road didn't feel much roasting, it is estimated that he helped her.
After drinking the tea, she deliberately dropped the teacup, wiped her mouth, and said with a smile: "Thank you two big brothers today, this last pass, I will come by myself, you stay away from me, I have an infectious disease, I am afraid of infecting you, you better stay away." ”
The cold-faced guard saw that she seemed to be about to hit the drum, so he sneered: "What a fool, the blood is sprinkled on the dragon drum, it's not for you to hit it, you take a bowl with your blood, and sprinkle it on the nine dragon heads." ”
"Ah, you, Brother He, you"
"Shut up" The cold-faced He guard looked at the other guard indifferently, and then turned to leave.
Onyx was very grateful, so that she would suffer less pain, and when she arrived at the Jinluan Palace, there would be a tough battle to fight.
So she asked the guard for a dagger, cut off her arm, and it took nine bowls of blood to stain all nine dragon heads.
At this time, the dragon groaned loudly, and the nine dragon heads of the dragon drum rushed to the sky as if they were alive, and suddenly nine of them merged into a blood dragon and rose to the sky, circling twice in the air and then scattered.
Everyone in the capital saw it, and only the people of the older generation knew that it was the dragon qi of redress from the legendary dragon drum.
Why did I know that it was a false accusation a hundred years ago, because there was a grievance, the dragon qi could be distinguished, there was really a grievance, the dragon drum would send out a blood dragon warning, which is some in the historical records, three hundred years ago, it was said that someone tried, but the person finally died in the blood sprinkled on the dragon drum, so the blood dragon only went to the sky and disappeared with the death of the complainant.
Therefore, the people who can really beat the dragon drum are all dead people, but today this person is not dead, and he can fly twice in the air, which proves that there is indeed a grievance.
The big guys all went to Shenwu Gate together, and at this time, there was already a doctor who stopped the bleeding on Agate again, and drank medicine, and the doctor gave her a pulse.
The imperial doctor's expression was a little serious, and he asked very seriously: "Onyx girl, you tell the truth, what kind of poison did you get?" ”
Onyx looked at the old lady doctor with a desperate expression, she really didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't want to die here without seeing the emperor, she spent such a big price today, she had to pay the price for Mo Yan.
Onyx bowed his head and was silent, which made the imperial doctor's expression more serious, and when the imperial doctor saw her like this, he had no choice but to threaten her: "If the onyx girl doesn't say it, then your sacrifice today will be in vain, and I won't let you see the emperor." ”
Onyx looked at the old lady in horror, and saw that what the old lady said was true, so he had to lower his head and said softly two silver words: "Smallpox." ”
