When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The Shangshu's wife just stepped in and saw Shangshu Chen hitting her son. She shouted "Ah!" and rushed over.

"what are you doing?"

Before she could finish her loud question, Minister Chen slapped her in the face with his backhand, causing her face to spin away and she was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

When the eldest son saw his mother being beaten, he felt a little scared. His father seemed very angry today. It was nothing more than sleeping with a maid.

He didn't take it seriously.

The Shangshu's wife slowly turned around and said in disbelief, "You dare to hit me! Are you crazy?"

Minister Chen's eyes seemed to be frozen, and he was extremely disappointed with the mother and son.

He regretted it! He should have ignored her last time when she hired someone to kill someone. He should have let her go to jail and wait for her beheading.

Having such people staying in his Chen family would only bring him trouble, and each time they went beyond the limit, he already felt that he was powerless to do anything about the trouble they had caused.

A deep feeling of powerlessness and fatigue kept rising up.

He felt like he was crazy, and he sneered:

"I'm crazy, and I'm driven crazy by you two idiots and losers. What's the good thing you did?" He pointed at the girl lying in a pool of blood.

"Have fun on your own! I don't care. I, Chen, can't afford to let you two commit suicide like this every day! Why hasn't God sent down a thunderbolt to kill scum like you?"

The Shangshu's wife, who wanted to throw a tantrum, felt a little insecure when she saw Shangshu Chen's crazy look. She turned her face away with indifference.

The eldest son curled his lips and said nothing, thinking: If you don't care, who will?

Minister Chen said to the steward of the External Court:

"You...you should first order her a good coffin and calm her down first."

The Shangshu's wife said impatiently, "They are all dead. Just find a mat to wrap them up and throw them in a mass grave."

Minister Chen: "You are talking nonsense! This girl is of good origin, and her father has a good reputation. You are in great trouble and you still don't know what to do."

The Shangshu's wife said: "He is just a poor fellow. At most, we can just give him some money to get rid of him. What else can we do?"

The eldest son: "That's right! She was the one who seduced me." He really dared to lie with his eyes open, and he was not afraid that this girl who died with her eyes open would turn into a ghost and come to take his life.

Minister Chen nodded: "Okay! Then do whatever you want. I want to see how you kill yourself."

Minister Chen didn't want to see the mother and son for a moment, so he turned around and walked out.

The eldest son looked at the Shangshu's wife and said, "Mom! Everything will be alright, right?"

The Shangshu's wife curled her lips and said, "What could possibly happen? Don't listen to your father's threats."

He turned around and said angrily to the servants around him:

"What are you all looking at? Why don't you move the dead body away quickly? Do you still want to leave it in the eldest master's yard? It's unlucky!" After saying this, he took out a handkerchief and put it under his nose, as if he was afraid of being smelled by something unclean.

The steward of the outer courtyard slowly withdrew from the eldest son's courtyard and left the Shangshu Mansion when no one was paying attention.

The further he walked, the angrier he became. The Shangshu Mansion was too careless about human life. He had some connection with this girl, and his conscience would not allow him to go along with the Shangshu Mansion.

He turned a few streets and came to the gate of a small courtyard. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the small gate of the courtyard...

Early the next morning, a scholar, accompanied by all his family members, came to the gate of the palace and struck the drum to report his mistakes!

This drum has not been beaten for many years. The "dong dong..." passionate drum sound resounded through the sky, and people inside and outside the palace who heard it were really shocked.

The emperor's morning court had not yet ended when the drums roared loudly. As no one had heard this drumbeat for many years, no one could remember what it was.

After a while, one of the civil officials remembered that this was the drum for reporting. Someone had a great grievance that needed to be reported directly to the emperor.

He quickly informed the emperor: "Your Majesty, the drum for reporting has been struck. Someone wants to file a complaint before the emperor!"

When the emperor heard this, he frowned, but he still ordered the morning court to be suspended and the people to be brought to the court. He wanted to see what had happened.

Jingzhao Yin was very uneasy when he heard this. Why did this person go past Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint? Wouldn't it be a slap in his face to file a complaint directly in front of the emperor? But now he could only wait and see what would happen.

Because there is quite a distance between the palace gate and the court, the emperor and the adults cannot be made to wait.

The chief guard at the palace gate sent out several guards, who took turns carrying the sick scholar who could not walk, and led a woman and a middle-aged man to run towards the court.

They put him down at the palace gate and let his wife help him walk into the court hall. The civil and military officials on both sides watched the three men walk in in silence.

The three men were all dressed simply, with coarse cloth clothes that had been washed so much that they looked pale. The one walking in front was a man who looked like a scholar, and he looked as if he was sick.

The person supporting him was a woman, and behind him followed a middle-aged man who looked much younger than the scholar walking in front, but he had a sad face, his mouth tightly pursed, and he followed silently with his head down.

They stopped in the middle of the hall and knelt on the ground. Although the scholar was weak, he spoke at the top of his voice:

"I, Zhong Limo, a resident of Kyoto, today have the audacity to sue the family of the current Shangshu Chen Hanwen for abducting my daughter and taking her life! Chen Siqi, the eldest son of the Chen family, is as vicious as a wolf or a tiger. He raped my daughter, Zhong Yashi, and forced her to die in front of him. Her mother was even more cruel. Not only did she help him cover up his crime, she also abandoned her daughter's body and threw it into a mass grave. Shangshu Chen, as an official appointed by the court, broke the law and shielded his son's crime.

Think about my Zhong family. Our ancestors have made great contributions to our dynasty. Later, the Zhong family retired. The ancestral precepts say that future generations should not use the merits of their ancestors to stir up trouble. Therefore, the Zhong family has been passed down from generation to generation by farming and studying. But now my son has been persecuted to death by the officials of the dynasty. I have no choice but to violate the ancestral precepts and beg the emperor to make a decision for the Zhong family! Give my son justice! Woo..."

All the ministers in the court were shocked. Is this Zhong family really that Zhong family? When this dynasty was founded, there was a Zhong family who helped vigorously. After the founding of the country, the Zhong family members retired.

The Zhong family should have been the greatest contributors to this dynasty, and should have been the first on the list of celebrities that emperors of all dynasties had mentioned. Now that this family has finally appeared, no one expected it to appear in this way.

The emperor was shocked, looking at the three people who were dressed too simply, he felt deeply guilty. The Zhong family should have received the best rewards and care from the court, but they lived in such poverty, which made it seem that their royal family had treated their meritorious officials poorly, and now they were even crying out for injustice to his face!

This incident was really disgraceful.
