"Your Excellency, I am Lin, and this is my daughter-in-law Sun. We want to sue my son Wang Shigong!"

"Huh? You're going to sue your son?"

Hearing this, Wu Che couldn't help but frown. Was this old woman crazy? Why didn't she sue her own son? And she even sued her daughter-in-law together?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so Wu Che immediately turned his gaze to Sun who was standing beside him.

Could it be that this woman instigated the old woman to cause trouble? During this important festival, how could His Majesty have the time to play with you?

"Exactly! I want to sue my son for being ungrateful, abandoning his wife and mother, and murdering his own child!"

"Humph! His Majesty doesn't care about your family affairs!"

"Come here, take these two women who don't know right from wrong and act recklessly to the prison to await punishment!"

The more he listened, the more outrageous it sounded. Wu Che simply waved to the imperial guards behind him.

Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, even if it is true you should go to the government to file a complaint. Do you know what it means to beat this thunderous drum?

Your Majesty is busy with official duties all day long, so how could he have the time to care about your family's trivial matters?

"No! Sir, Sir, please listen to my explanation!"

Seeing that the soldiers were about to come up and take them away, the old lady and Sun suddenly became anxious. They hadn't even finished their words, why were they going to be taken to jail?

Is it possible that this thunder drum is fake? Your Majesty is unwilling to do us justice?

If this is the case, then what justice is there in this world?

They are still crying out for justice, but the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards won't listen to their explanations at all. If everyone follows your example and comes to His Majesty for the slightest problem, will His Majesty be able to handle it?

There are more than tens of millions of people in this world. Does Your Majesty have to take care of every household?

Even if you really have grievances, it is not your place to beat the thunderous drum. Is the big drum at the gate of the yamen just for decoration?

"boom!"

Just as the officers and soldiers were about to take the two men away, a long sword suddenly fell from the sky and stabbed straight in front of the officers and soldiers.

With a loud bang, a man in white clothes and white hair suddenly fell from the sky and stood in front of Lin and Sun.

"Commander Wu, a country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules! This Heaven-shaking Drum is something left by our ancestors. Anyone who strikes the Heaven-shaking Drum can enter the palace to see the emperor. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

When Tang Tianyu rushed over, he was paying attention to what was happening here the whole time. When he heard that Wu Che was going to put him in jail without even giving him a chance to explain, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Your Highness King Wu!"

When Wu Che saw Tang Tianyu, he was stunned at first, then he suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed to Tang Tianyu.

At the same time, the entire Royal Guard knelt down.

Oh my god, why is this ancestor here?

"Please stand up first, and we can discuss anything after we see His Majesty."

With a cold glance at the Imperial Guards beside him, Tang Tianyu slowly helped the old man up.

The old man and the weak man didn't look stupid. They dared to beat the thunder drum, so they must have been wronged. And they didn't go to the government office because the government office couldn't solve the problem.

"Your Highness, these two people are making false accusations and cannot be forgiven easily."

Wu Che's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly reminded him.

Hearing this, Tang Tianyu frowned and looked at Wu Che coldly.

"I don't want to say it a second time! Go back and get the thirty lashes yourself, don't make me do it myself!"

"This……"

Hearing this, Wu Che felt a chill in his heart and wanted to say something, but after thinking carefully, he knelt down.

"I obey my orders!"

Well, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that His Royal Highness the King of Wu has taken action and there’s nothing I can do. You guys can do whatever you want.

It was obvious that Wu Che knew about this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and he even knew who they were going to sue.

Originally, he wanted to use his position to suppress the matter, but he didn't expect Tang Tianyu to show up halfway. If it was any other prince, it would be fine, but it had to be this one.

He failed to steal the chicken and ended up getting thirty lashes of the cane for nothing.

"Old man, please follow me to the Dali Temple."

After saying that, Tang Tianyu turned and walked towards the Dali Temple.

Upon hearing this, the old man and the weak man hurriedly bowed and saluted. It seems that there are still reasonable people in this world.

Is this the legendary His Majesty King Wu? I didn't expect him to be so young.

An hour later, the two followed Tang Tianyu to the Dali Temple.

"Huh? Why did you bring them here? Where's Wu Che?"

"Father, Commander Wu wants to imprison the two men and prevent those seeking justice from appearing before the emperor. I have ordered him to go back and have them punished."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhentian's brows immediately wrinkled into a "川" shape. Wu Che was so bold that he wanted to execute first and report later!

Then he looked at Tang Tianyu meaningfully and said, "The commander of the Imperial Guards can be attacked just like you say. You are really my good son."

Logically speaking, Tang Tianyu did not have that authority, but his words were so effective. He told Wu Che to go back and get beaten, even if he did not want to. Even if his father came, it would be of no use.

However, Tang Zhentian was not surprised by this situation. This kid had no intention of becoming the emperor anyway, and what he did was fair, so he didn't say anything.

"What grievances have you two had? Who do you want to sue?"

In desperation, Tang Zhentian turned his gaze to the two people kneeling on the ground in the hall.

Business is important, let Tang Tianyu do whatever he wants.

At this time, the outside of the Dali Temple was already crowded with onlookers. These people had rushed over after hearing the thunderous drums. On the one hand, they wanted to see the excitement, and on the other hand, they also wanted to see the face of the current emperor.

After all, the emperor cannot be seen at any time. On weekdays, His Majesty lives in the palace and seldom goes out. He will only leave the palace openly when the thunderous drums sound.

"Your Majesty, I want to sue my son, the son-in-law of the current General of the Cavalry, Wang Shigong!"

Upon hearing this, both Tang Zhentian and Tang Tianyu, and even the onlookers outside were stunned.

You are really good at playing this. It's fine if you sue your own son, but your son is the son-in-law of the general.

"Huh? You're even suing your own son?"

Tang Zhentian calmed down. It was true that there were many strange things in the world. It was said that maternal love was great, but now there was a mother who was willing to sue her own son and even went so far as to beat the Zhentian Drum.

"Yes! I want to sue him for being ungrateful, abandoning his wife and mother, murdering his own children, and committing murder and arson!"

At this moment, Lin's eyes were particularly determined. Even when facing the current emperor, she had no intention of backing down. Today, she would bring that unfilial son to court no matter what.

"Oh my god! It can't be Chen Shimei."

Wen Liuli had arrived a long time ago. At this moment, she was squeezed in the crowd with Zhao Chuchen. Hearing Lin's words, she couldn't help but frown. Why did this plot seem so familiar?

"Who is Chen Shimei?"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Zhao Chuchen frowned slightly. What was she talking about?

"In short, he is an ungrateful bastard. Let's hear what the old lady has to say first."

Wen Liuli couldn't explain it clearly for a moment, so he simply waved his hand, too lazy to explain. You will understand if you read on.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin also told the whole story one by one.

Wang Shigong came from a poor family, but he was extremely ambitious. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, and after ten years of hard study, he only managed to pass the examination and become a scholar.

The ones who supported him to study hard for so many years were his old mother and his wife, who are now the two people who are suing him.

After all, the only male in the family had to go to school and had no other income. The two poor women had to rely on mending clothes for others to earn money. The food in the family was all sewn by the two of them, needle and thread.

In addition, in order to allow him to go to Beijing for the exam, the two of them emptied out their entire family assets and sold all the food in their home, only then could they raise enough money for him to travel to the imperial city.

Although he failed the exams year after year, the two ladies never gave up their support for him.

This year, Wang Shigong failed the imperial examination again. Unlike previous years, this time he did not go home but stayed in the imperial city.

It was also because of this that he met Shangguan Jing.

Shangguan Jing fell in love with him at first sight and decided to marry him.

As a general of the cavalry, how could Shangguan Yan be interested in a poor scholar? After many attempts to stop him, Shangguan Jing finally threatened to commit suicide, which led to the marriage yesterday.

Since it was impossible to marry off her daughter, she simply let Wang Shigong marry into the family and promised to find him an official position in the court.

Wang Shigong was naturally happy to see this and agreed without even thinking about it.

However, his old mother and wife knew nothing about this matter until a month ago, when they were suddenly assassinated. A large group of masked men in black broke into their dilapidated home.

Without saying a word, he killed Wang Shigong and Sun's only son with a single knife, and wanted to send them both to hell together.

Fortunately, a group of people dressed as guards happened to pass by there and rescued the old and the weak, but the child did die tragically under the knife of the man in black.

Later, with the help of the group of guards, they learned from the men in black why they were killed.

These men in black were undoubtedly sent by Wang Shigong. He was afraid that his father-in-law would be affected in his future if he knew that he already had a wife, so he made up his mind to find someone to silence him.

Afterwards, the group of guards seemed to have important matters to attend to, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the imperial city.

Along the way, they encountered assassination attempts more than once, and each time it was a large group of masked men in black. With their abilities, it would have been impossible for the two of them to escape.

Fortunately, one of the guards stayed behind to escort them. In the end, it was because of that guard's selfless rescue that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law managed to reach the imperial city.

However, as soon as they arrived at the imperial city, they learned the news that Wang Shigong and Shangguan Jing were getting married.

They were a little bit unconvinced at first, until yesterday, when they saw with their own eyes Wang Shigong getting down from the sedan chair.

At that time, both of them were heartbroken. They never expected that there would be such ungrateful people in the world.

Seeing this, Sun was disheartened and wanted to commit suicide. However, when they thought about the guard who lost his life escorting them to the capital, and the child who died tragically at home, they could not swallow this humiliation no matter what.
