Chapter 20: The Hindsight

The man said: "Back to Miss Yannu, a group of people came from behind, saying that they had serious grievances and wanted to go to Dengwengu to express their grievances. ”

"Going to the drums?"

Yan Nu sneered, Dengwen Drum is a big drum set on the edge of the imperial city, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taizu set up a rule, anyone who is a grievance can come here to complain, but it must be a great grievance, if you find that the grievance is wrong, then the person who complains will be beheaded, so this is to take your own head to complain.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Dengwen drum has only sounded seven times, and five of the seven times are real grievances, the emperor has summoned snow for them, and the other two times because they are not wronged enough, the plaintiff and the defendant were beheaded on the same day, which can be regarded as the same end, another way of revenge.

Today, right here, there are actually people who want to complain, it is worth mentioning that the location of the Dengwen drum is in the white jade gate, and there is also a law in the Great Zhou that says that anyone who wants to complain about grievances must not be stopped by anyone.

"It seems that these people are really going to do anything. ”

Yan Nu believed that these people were definitely not here to avenge their grievances, they were just here to make trouble, and they were going to take the opportunity to enter the team to welcome their relatives.

"I'm going to see, I'm going to see what 'grievances' these people have. ”

Of course, Yan Nu won't let people in, although she doesn't think that there will be more people than hers, but she doesn't want to mess up the team to welcome her relatives in a big war, so as not to be taken advantage of by those people.

"Let's go over, we're going to beat the drums, why don't you let us go?"

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, looking very fierce, shouting at a soldier dressed as a housekeeper, as if he would do it at any moment.

Yan Nu walked over and waved the soldier to retreat, and saw her sneering: "Tell me about your grievances, if I can move me, I can help you give this grievance without you beating the drum." ”

The big man looked up and down at Yan Nu, and said suspiciously: "Who are you?" Speaking in such a loud tone, I sue you, these people behind me really have a big grievance, if you dare to delay, I will sue you too." ”

"Hmph, I see that your tone is not small, do you know who I am?" Yan Nu approached the big man and stared coldly into the big man's eyes.

Dahan was so frightened by her that he took a step back and said, "Aren't I asking you?"

"Does the Shadow Guard know?"

Dahan nodded and said, "I've heard of it, it seems to be a dog raised by the emperor's side, what does this have to do with you? ”

"You ......" Yan Nu's eyes were cold, she wanted to slaughter this guy with a sword now, but she also wanted to see what tricks they wanted to play, so she suppressed the anger in her heart, and sneered: "The shadow guard refers to the royal secret guard, who has the right to supervise the world for His Majesty, I am the deputy head of the shadow guard, and there is no case in the sky that I can't investigate." ”

As soon as Dahan heard this, he immediately opened his mouth in shock, and then quickly changed his face, and said with some trepidation: "I'm sorry, adult, the villain doesn't know this, the villain often hears people in his hometown that the shadow guard is the emperor's majesty raised by the guard, so I think it's a real dog, I don't know if it's not a dog, it's a person, I'm sorry, the villain said the wrong thing." ”

Although Dahan has been apologizing, he is always away from the word dog, and Yan Nu also knows that the people below are afraid of their shadow guards, so everyone says that they are dogs, and even her master is called the imperial dog, not to mention them.

"Okay, hurry up and reply, and I'll cut your tongue out if you talk nonsense. ”

Dahan hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "The villain is from Hunzhou, and these people in the back are known by the villain when he passed through Taizhou, they are really miserable, they want to come to Kyoto to complain, and they don't know the way, so the villain escorted them all the way......"

Yan Nu took the paper-like paper casually and sneered: "Yes, the preparation is quite sufficient, let me take a look, what stories are made up on it." ”

As soon as Dahan heard this, he immediately became a little angry and said, "How can it be made up? These are all things that are really happening." ”

Yan Nu ignored him, and looked at the paper, and after looking at the beginning, Yan Nu's face changed, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief.

"How is that possible?

Dahan didn't speak well because Yan Nu didn't speak well before, so he just snorted coldly and didn't answer her.

Yan Nu continued to look down, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became, and she already believed in her heart that these people were really here to avenge their grievances.

"My lord, can you take this case?" There was actually a bit of sarcasm in Dahan's words, which was completely to fight back against Yan Nu's disrespect for this matter just now.

"I'm asking you now, are these really the survivors there?"

Yan Nu grabbed Dahan's collar and stared at Dahan with a dark face.

The big man was taken aback by the appearance of the slave, and stammered: "Yes, yes, how dare the little and the little dare to deceive the adult." ”

Yan Nu looked at the five people behind the big man, and saw that they were all a group of women, wearing filial piety clothes, with sad faces, and a desperate look, and the most important thing was that Yan Nu saw a collar around their necks, which was the symbol of their clan, and any adult clan would wear that necklace, and they could not take it off for the rest of their lives, nor could they take it off, because it was all doused with molten iron.

"It's amazing that they survived. ”

Taizhou is located in the south of the empire, different from the prosperity of the Central Plains, there are mostly poor mountains and bad waters, and many residents are in an uncivilized state, so the successive dynasties are not as concerned about it, that is, it is used as a place to distribute sinners, so the people there are very strong, and the laws of the country do not have much effect there, because those people are already people who have been abandoned by the state, and they are left to fend for themselves there, as long as they do not return to the Central Plains to make trouble.

However, although the state does not pay much attention to them, it does not mean that they are completely ignored, so every once in a while people will be sent to inspect there to see what has changed.

These things have always been done by the shadow guards, and there has never been a problem. However, three months ago, there was a problem with the people sent to inspect it, and there were 33 people in total, and none of them came back.

Zhao Bo was very angry after getting the news, if these people were reluctant to come back because it was so good there, then the person who said this was purely farting. But to say that these people are defective, it is impossible, the system of shadow guards has always been very strict, anyone who goes out on a mission, the family must stay in Kyoto, once something goes wrong, the family will all be executed.
