The short man was already injured, but when he was dragged by the officials, one of the wounds burst open at once, and he screamed in pain.

The official was startled when he saw blood oozing from his arm, and hurriedly let go of his hand, but he still scolded viciously: "Bad luck is dead, let me tell you, don't toast and don't eat and drink, hurry up, our old man's temper is not very good, if you disturb his old man, don't blame our brother for being polite." ”

The stout man nodded: "Okay then, then I'll come back tomorrow morning." After saying that, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.

The two officials breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that the short man suddenly turned around and rushed towards Dengwengu.

The frightened two officials hurriedly raised the water and fire sticks and blocked the way of the short man, the short man was injured, and was blocked by the two water and fire sticks, and he couldn't push it away, so he shouted at the top of his throat: "Master, the grass people have grievances to claim, please help the master!"

The frightened two officials hurriedly covered his mouth: "Shut up! You Diao Min, you really can't fight if you don't fight!" After speaking, the two people dragged the short man and walked down the steps.

Du Ruoyi looked at them making trouble there, and frowned: "That person still has injuries on his body, how can they do this, why don't you help him?"

Jiang Han nodded: "It's okay, I also want to see what is going on, so he can't even wait all night, and he has to sue this case late at night." ”

After speaking, Jiang Han picked up three stones from the ground, threw them out with a flick of his hand, and the three stones smashed on the Dengwen drum impartially, making three "bang bang" sounds.

Although Jiang Han had never practiced a hidden weapon, but the Dengwen drum was so big, it was not a problem to smash it, and the two officials heard the Dengwen drum suddenly sound, and turned their heads in fright: "Who is beating the drum!"

But after watching for a long time, there was no one under the Dengwen drum at all, at this moment, the short man took advantage of the two officials to be stunned, and impulsively went under the Dengwen drum in two steps, picked up the drumstick, and beat the Dengwen drum hard, and shouted loudly while knocking on his mouth: "Please ask the lord to help, please ask the lord to help!"

The two officials were also stupid, standing in place and watching him keep beating the drums, and they were at a loss for a while.

Du Ruoyi showed a happy smile on his face: "When the drums sound, what do I think they will do?"

As he was talking, he saw the door of the prefect's yamen open, and several more officials ran out of it, carrying lanterns and holding water and fire sticks, and as soon as they came out, they asked loudly: "What's the matter? Why are there still people beating drums in the middle of the night?"

As soon as the short man saw someone coming out, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, big brother, the grass people are wronged!"

Several officials ignored him, and the leader of the two guards asked the two guards in a loud voice: "Why are you two on a bad day, how can you make people beat the drum in the middle of the night and not stop him?"

The two officials hurriedly explained: "We stopped it, but this Dengwen drum doesn't know why, and suddenly it rang by itself, boss, I think this is a ghost playing a drum, maybe this person really has any grievances?"

The leading official snorted: "Is there any grievance that you have to say? That has to be said by our master! I don't even have a good view of the door, I don't think you want to take off this clothes and get out?"

As he was talking, a person dressed as a family member ran out of it and whispered, "The master has been promoted to the second hall, bring someone over." ”

The leading official was startled, and hurriedly gave the family a salute: "What does this kind of person do to him, throw him in prison and lock him up all night and be honest, why did the old man really get up?"

The family nodded: "Dengwen drum sounded, can the master not get up?" Recently, our master is on the cusp, I heard that someone is impeaching our master, and the folds have been handed over. ”

The official was shocked: "Could it be that you are talking about Li ......?"

The family made a silent gesture: "I don't know who it is, this kind of thing is not something we can participate in, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you know?"

The official hurriedly nodded: "I know, I know." ”

The family waved their hands: "Okay, bring people in, the old man will be promoted to the second hall." With that, he walked through the gate with his hands behind his back.

Du Ruoyi watched the officials respectfully send the officials into the door, and couldn't help sneering: "It's really a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, a subordinate of the prefect's family, and the shelves are so big." ”

Jiang Han sighed: "It's just a fox and a fake tiger, let's go, follow over and have a look." ”

At this time, several officials had already taken the short man and went, leaving only two guards there muttering: "You said that this Dengwen drum sounded for no reason, could there really be any great grievances?

The other hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense, master, can we talk about it, let's just guard the door." ”

Jiang Han and Du Ruoyi went around to the base of the wall, and as soon as they jumped up, they went up to the wall and looked inside the yamen on the wall.

I saw a few officials with short men, bypassing the lobby and walking towards the second hall behind.

Jiang Han and Du Ruoyi hurriedly jumped into the courtyard, and touched the back against the wall.

When I came to the outside of the second hall, I saw that the lights were on inside the second hall, and several officials brought the short man in.

Jiang Han waved his hand towards Du Ruoyi: "Let's go, go to the room and see." ”

The two of them jumped up to the roof, gently uncovered a piece of tile, and looked down from above.

I saw that there were not many people in these two halls, and there was a fat man sitting behind the public case, slumped on a chair, loosely dressed in the official mansion, and the official hat on his head was still crooked, and he couldn't see his face clearly from above, but looking at him like this, Jiang Han instinctively didn't like him.

The short and stout man was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and the few officials stood on both sides, holding water and fire sticks with horizontal eyebrows, and they were all sleeping well, but they were suddenly woken up, and their mood was definitely not very good.

Du Ruoyi whispered: "I see that this old man is not promoted to the lobby, but to the second hall, just to quickly fool this matter over, so that he can find his new concubine." ”

Jiang Han nodded: "No one is happy to be messed up in the middle of the night, even if you don't mess with the concubine, it's understandable to want to finish things quickly, but I guess our late-night sue is not so easy to fool." ”

At this time, I saw that the fat man picked up the shocking wood on the public case, slapped it on the table, and asked loudly: "Who is in the hall, why do you beat the drum late at night and sound grievances?"
