In addition to the husband on the street so early, it was a petty thief, Zhang Yan, a scholar, was bumped into by a watchman, and he couldn't help but look twice.

Zhang Yan galloped all the way, and it only took two quarters of an hour to reach the right gate of Chang'an, the sky was dark, the gate of Dengwen Drum Tower was closed, and a gust of north wind blew, freezing people shivering.

The watchman of Dengwen Drum Tower has changed from the supervision of the imperial history in the early Ming Dynasty to the current six departments to take turns with the captain of the Jinyi Guard.

Although this Dengwen Drum Tower is mostly an ornament now, Yuan Bin is still conscientious every time he is on duty, and he does not dare to slack off in his heart.

The reason is that it is precisely because of Zhu Qizhen's kindness that Yuan Bin, who was originally a school captain, has done the current four-grade brocade clothes and guards, and he once dared not be ungrateful.

But today, what is surprising is that Yuan Bin saw a figure standing in front of the building in a daze, as if his body was still swaying slightly.

"Could it be the thief with his brain pumping?" Yuan Bin said as he spoke, and his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

Although he said so, Yuan Bin knew from the bottom of his heart that there would be no stupid thief who would come here to steal something, even if he wanted to steal, but what else could be stolen in it except for a drum? When the thief comes, he has to go.

So the speed of the heartbeat became faster and faster, and the person standing there was either the official on duty like himself, or ...... Come and beat the drums of the people.

With Yuan Bin's footsteps, the two got closer and closer, and a trace of excitement in their hearts gradually expanded.

Finally, through the faint night light, Yuan Bin saw the man clearly: wearing a square scarf on his head, wearing a collared "Taoist robe" (not a Taoist robe), a white collar on the collar, and square toe shoes.

It was really a citizen waiting at the door, trying to beat the drum!

"Scholar, what are you doing standing here?" Yuan Bin saw that the other party didn't find out, so he had to ask.

Zhang Yan trembled and followed the prestige, only to see an official in a big red flying fish suit looking at him, knowing that it was a Jinyi guard on duty, and hurriedly commanded Fa Mu's body.

"Student Zhang Yan, come here to beat the drum and sue the emperor!"

Yuan Bin saw that the scholar's saluting hands were shaking, and he didn't say anything more, opened the door of the building, and brought the other party in.

Yuan Bin asked as he walked, "What grievances do you have?" ”

The building was empty, and only Zhang Yan's voice reverberating the injustice he had suffered echoed in it.

Dengwen Drum Tower is three floors high, except for the top floor of one side of Dengwen Drum, the rest of the part is mostly a place for people to rest, the original Beiping is an arrow tower, Taizong only changed it to Dengwen Drum Tower.

So after ascending to the second floor, Yuan Bin stopped him

Zhang Yan, who wants to continue up.

"There's wind up there, wait here for the six branches to be on duty." Saying that, Yuan Bin lit the candle, and a candle flame swayed.

Zhang Yan paused for a moment, and then reacted, and thanked him again and again and sat not far away.

"You just said that His Royal Highness recommended you here?" Yuan Bin asked.

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness King Yu asked the emperor for the will of the emperor and instructed me to beat the drum!" Zhang Yan pouted baldly as soon as he smoothed his mouth.

But as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and even corrected: "No, it should be His Royal Highness the King of Servants who supported me in avenging my grievances, and did not give permission." ”

"You said the emperor also knows?" Yuan Bin asked in surprise.

"The emperor must know!" Zhang Yan nodded affirmatively.

Yuan Bin stopped talking, and Zhang Yan had no choice but to stop talking, and at this time, except for the whirring wind on the top floor, there was no other movement.

'Squeak'

"Who?!" There was a sound downstairs, and Zhang Yan's tense nerves were instantly touched.

"It should be on duty for the six sections." Yuan Bin glanced at Zhang Yan and said.

Sure enough, as the creaking sound got closer and closer, a figure appeared on the second floor.

"Commander Yuan, you're here again?" Lieberthal greeted Yuan Bin in surprise.

"Who is this?"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he hurriedly told his story and told him what he had encountered, and Li Kan's heart sank when he listened.

"You said that you fell because of the imperial examination, and you didn't try it in the Three Law Divisions, and you came directly to beat the drum?" Li Kan stood in front of Zhang Yan and asked pointedly.

"Uh, yes, yes. It was useless for the student to go to the Three Dharma Divisions for this matter, so he came here directly. Zhang Yan said hesitantly.

Li Kan suddenly shouted: "Dengwengu is a place to accept unjust cases, and the imperial examination is not within the scope of acceptance, and you have no grievances, how can you come here?" ”

"I, I, His Royal Highness said I could come!" Zhang Yan was in a hurry, dancing with his hands and trying to grab Li Kan's arm but didn't dare.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! How noble is His Royal Highness, how can you climb it? Let me ask you, did His Highness personally tell you to come here? Lieberthal interrupted Zhang Yan's argument.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "No." ”

"Then you still dare to talk nonsense? Quickly retreat! Hugh was delaying business here. "Lieberthal waved his sleeves to send off the guests.

"Students, students, adults, please be kind and help students!" Zhang Yan's eyes were red and he knelt in front of Li Kan.

Lieberthal

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

His face softened slightly: "It's not that I'm ruthless, this official is also hard to read, but your situation really doesn't fit the process."

When the time comes, the imperial history will impeach us, not to mention that your case will be sent back to Suncheonfu, even if we can't escape the sin of an unknown ministry, let's go. ”

"Student ......" Zhang Yan looked at Lieberthal in despair, the beginning was so difficult, and his heart was full of despair.

"Wait a minute! Master Li, this conductor thinks that since your duty today is to help people avenge their grievances, no matter whether this scholar's matter is in line with the process or not, then it should also be played, and wait for the emperor's holy judgment. Yuan Bin stopped Zhang Yandao.

Facing Yuan Bin, Li Kan lost his official authority, and said in embarrassment: "Commander Yuan, this court has a law, and the lower officials think it's better to go through the normal procedures, and if it doesn't work, you can come again!" ”

Yuan Bin's eyes widened and said, "I should be able to try next year, when will I wait again?" You can't delay the future of others because of a little process, Master Li doesn't have to be afraid, if there are adverse consequences, this official will bear it! ”

"Commander Yuan has to think clearly, this Dengwen drum has not been concerned about the matter since ancient times!" Lieberthal wanted to stop again.

"Lord Li wants to inspect the paper?" Yuan Bin ignored Li Kan, took Zhang Yan's paper, and examined it carefully.

Although he knew that Yuan Bin was deeply favored by the emperor, when Li Kan saw Yuan Bin's appearance, he snorted heavily in his nose and said: "Since Commander Yuan insists on doing so, then the lower official has no choice but to explain first, and it has nothing to do with the lower official at this time, it is all the adults who insist on going their own way." ”

Yuan Bin didn't answer, and after reading the paper in his hand, he said to Zhang Yan: "Go upstairs and beat the drum!" ”

Lieberthal hurriedly said: "No! If it doesn't meet the regulations, how can you beat the drum? ”

Yuan Bin glanced at Li Kan and said, "Go, I'll take care of something." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Yan bowed deeply to Yuan Bin, got up and rushed upstairs.

Li Kan wanted to stop again, but he was forced by Yuan Bin's power and did not move, so he could only say: "Commander Yuan, you are going to drag the lower officials into the water!" ”

Yuan Bin ignored him, and the earth-shattering drums in his ears radiated towards the Forbidden City.

The big and small officials who were waiting in front of the palace gate had their ears erected at the same time, and turned their heads to look in the direction of the drumming.

"Who's beating the drum?"

"I haven't heard the drum in years."

"Who's to say it isn't? I don't know what the big deal is this time? ”

Although Cao Nai just glanced at it and withdrew his attention, the feeling of unsteadiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

'Squeak'

The palace gate opened, and the hundred officials entered in turn.
