Inside the palace of King Tianyun.

"What, you said that kid Lin Yuan actually went to beat the drum of injustice?"

Hearing Zhao Xiaokui's words, Zao Wou-Ki stood up from the dragon chair and said, "Very good, this matter is getting more and more exciting!"

"Father, shouldn't we stop it?" Seeing Zhao Wouji's indifferent appearance, Zhao Xiaokui said anxiously.

Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand and said, "The people who are anxious about this matter are not us, but those who are in the prime minister's house. The emergence of Lin Yuan is an opportunity for our royal family to rise again. When those people lose their hearts, it will be a very good thing for our royal family to clean up the mess again. ”

For the future, Zao Wou-Ki has already made detailed plans.

As the lord of the Tianyun Kingdom, Zhao Wou-Ki actually does not have a particularly big power, no matter what he does, he is restrained everywhere.

The country of Tianyun is not large, but because it is located at the junction of the continent and the barbarian realm, it bears the burden of resisting the attack of the barbarians, and its strategic location is extremely important.

For this country, other countries on the wild continent will naturally keep a close eye on this country's every move.

For them, a Tianyun Country, which is not very strong and all kinds of forces are evenly matched, is the situation they want.

Whenever the Tianyun Kingdom was strong, they would try their best to suppress the Tianyun Kingdom so that their country's strength would not expand too quickly.

When the strength of the Tianyun Kingdom is weak, they will help the Tianyun Kingdom replenish its strength and materials, so that they can resist the attack of the barbarians.

Speaking of which, Tianyun Country is a buffer zone between barbarians and humans, and it needs to bear double pressure.

Even if the Zhao family has the support of Zhao Zhaoming, the three-star god of war, they also dare not take action against the internal minister Li Haotian and his gang.

Behind these people, there are the shadows of other countries on the wild continent. Among them, there are some super war cultivators.

Those battle cultivators joined forces, even Zhao Zhaoming, couldn't withstand such pressure.

Speaking of which, Zao Wou-Ki is really a generation of heroes, ambitious, and has a huge idea.

He didn't want Tianyun Country to always be a small third-rate country, and he didn't want the people of their country to have to work hard for other countries on the continent all the time.

To this end, Zao Wou-Ki also made a lot of measures and promoted a lot of new blood, including Lin Yuan's father Lin Yi.

However, it is not easy to shake those forces. Not to mention one Zao Wou-Ki and Lin Yi, even if there are ten more of them, they will not be able to threaten or trouble those big forces.

At first, everything went well, but as time passed, Tianyun Kingdom's actions attracted the attention of various countries.

With their move, the good situation that Zao Wou-Ki had managed so hard to manage was ruined.

After that, the barbarians began to invade Tianyun Country again, and Lin Yi, who went out of the city to negotiate, never returned.

This made Zao Wou-Ki understand that those people really started to make moves.

Later, Zao Wou-Ki was assassinated several times, and finally escaped death, and then stopped.

He knew that those people didn't really want his life, they just didn't want his life for the time being.

In their plans, there are already a variety of ideas and initiatives for his place replacement.

His eldest son Zhao Jian, second son Zhao Kang, and youngest daughter Zhao Xiaokui, etc., everyone can take his place.

If these people were really unhappy, maybe the entire Zhao family would no longer exist.

When the time comes, it will not be difficult for the Li family or other families to sit in the entire position.

What they need is a puppet lord, not an ambitious generation of heroes with great ambitions.

After understanding this, Zao Wou-Ki became more and more obscure, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, looking like a wise man to protect himself.

Although he was a little unwilling to be lonely in his heart, he understood that this was not a good opportunity for him to come out.

"But, this is a beating of the drum of injustice! If Lin Yuan can't hold it and dies, what can he do!"

Regarding Lin Yuan's safety, Zhao Xiaokui was still a little worried.

Zao Wou-Ki showed a ruthless side and said: "If he can't hold on, he's stupid and damned! A person who can't recognize himself clearly, how much do you think he will promising." Such a person is definitely not worthy of your liking!"

"What, how can I like him, he's just my playmate!" Hearing Zao Wou-ki's words, a rare trace of shame appeared on Zhao Xiaokui's face.

Zao Wou-ki's words seemed to touch some thoughts in Zhao Xiaokui's heart.

Compared with Zao Wou-ki, Prime Minister Li Haotian said with an angry face: "This guy, I know that this guy is a scourge and a troublemaker! Sure enough, he has brought me trouble again!"

For Lin Yuan's beating of the drum of grievances, what far-reaching impact it will have, Li Haotian naturally knows it clearly.

If he just wants to be the internal minister of Tianyun Kingdom, he doesn't have to care too much, at most he will have some infamy on his back.

But Li Haotian has great ambitions, what he wants to do is to replace Zao Wou-Ki and become the new master of this Tianyun Kingdom, he naturally doesn't want things to get worse.

In this case, Li Haotian hurriedly called his subordinates to prepare horses, so that he could rush to the lobby of the criminal department as soon as possible.

Li Haotian rode on the horse, his eyes full of annoyance, "I hope that when the old man arrives, the matter will not be so big that it can't be cleaned up!"

At the same time, Lin Yuan had already come to the Tianyun Country Criminal Department. This place, in the remote northwest corner of the imperial capital, is eerie all day long.

Pine trees are planted all over here, and two hideous stone lions are placed, which makes the whole department look a little eerie.

Cowardly people can't get to the door of the lobby of the criminal department at all, maybe they will give up with weak legs.

At the main entrance of the lobby of the Criminal Department, there is a huge drum, I don't know how many years old.

This drum, known as the Drum of Grievances, also known as the Dengwen Drum, is a big drum representing fairness and justice.

Once this drum is beaten, you have to endure torture before you can go to court to avenge your grievances and let everyone know your grievances.

Over the years, as the Criminal Department has lengthened the boards with long nails by one meter, and those nails by half an inch, there is no longer anyone who can enter the lobby of the Criminal Department alive.

At this time, the four guards at the gate of the Criminal Department, looking at Lin Yuan who was walking over with the coffin, couldn't help but immediately raise the long knife in their hands, wanting to stop him and prevent him from entering. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like an official, but looks like he's here to make trouble.

Seeing that these four soldiers stopped him, Lin Yuan said: "I'm here to avenge my grievances, let me in!"

At this moment, I saw Zhao Kang hurriedly running over and saying to the four soldiers: "He is Lin Yuan, go and tell Shangshu Liu Da, just say that Lin Yuan is going to beat the drum of injustice and sue the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!"

"Sue the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?" Hearing Zhao Kang's words, these guards thought they had heard it wrong.

Zhao Kang nodded and said: "He is Lin Yuan, the son of Marshal Lin Yi, if you don't hurry up to find Lord Liu, you can't afford to take responsibility for delaying this matter!"

"Yes, Lord Zhao!" Seeing that Zhao Kang, who had always been moody, was so anxious, these guards also knew that the matter was important.

A clever guard immediately said, "Okay, the little one will go and tell Lord Liu immediately." ”

After speaking, he quickly ran towards the inner hall of the Criminal Department, shouting as he ran: "Lord Liu, something is wrong, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter, the panic is like this?" Generally speaking, the people in the criminal department are some very old and mature people, like today's panicked situation, these adults don't like it very much.

"I'm looking for Lord Liu, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter, in a hurry to become like this?" The person in charge of the Criminal Department is not only a Shangshu, but also several squires, Lang Zhong, etc., and there are many officials of all kinds. Hearing this person's words, someone immediately asked.

In their eyes, the guard was a little less clever and looked down on them.

"Out of ...... It's a big deal, someone wants to beat the drum, that person is Lin Yi's son Lin Yuan, and he wants to sue the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!"

"What, there is such a big event, why didn't you report it earlier!" Hearing the guard's words, Liu Da, the secretary of the Criminal Department who was originally there, quickly ran out of his public house.

"Come on, hurry up and stop Lin Yuan and let him stop beating the drum!"

Liu Da knew the seriousness of the matter, once Lin Yuan really sounded the drum of injustice, then the Criminal Department would bear the brunt and become the target.

When the time comes, he, the secretary of the criminal department, will also be very troublesome.

When Liu Da and the people from the Criminal Department ran out, they saw Lin Yuan struggling to break away from a few guards, jumped hard, took down the drumstick, and beat it the big drum.

"Oops!" Liu Da cried with a sad face, looking unlucky.

And Li Haotian, the minister who had just arrived, also raised his hand, ready to shout to stop, but he didn't shout out.

As for Li Bing and the others, they looked at Lin Yuan nervously, looking expectant.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

With the sound of the sound of the drums, the entire Cloud City knew that something big was going to happen in this imperial capital again.
