The rain poured down, crackling on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

The officials looked solemn as they hurried in the rain carrying the memorial in their arms, their hearts filled with anxiety.

This memorial was like a bomb that could explode at any time. Every official who handled it was well aware of its power. They were afraid of being implicated, but they did not dare to slack off and carefully passed the memorial up the chain of command.

……

Almost every official who saw this memorial avoided it.

The Jinyiwei beat drums to protest for justice. This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar in the officialdom of Chang'an.

This was no trivial matter. Almost every official who received the memorial from the Right Guard felt a storm of shock in his heart the moment he saw the content.

Countless thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant. If this matter was not handled properly, many people would die!

The officials who received the memorial treated it as a major threat and presented it to their superiors without hesitation.

As soon as Chu Suiliang received the memorial, he went straight to Prime Minister Fang's office despite the pouring rain.

The rain soaked his clothes and flowed down his cheeks.

This matter is of great importance and must be informed to the Prime Minister as soon as possible.

Every step he took in the water made splashes that seemed to urge him on.

When he arrived at Fang Xuanling's office, he was already soaked.

He was very anxious and just hoped that Prime Minister Fang could come up with a solution.

"Prime Minister Fang is very experienced and wise. He will definitely be able to see the clues. I hope it's not too late."

Fang Xuanling was in the study, having just taken off the reading glasses bestowed upon him by His Majesty. He was still savoring the favor His Majesty had shown him, his heart filled with gratitude and loyalty to His Majesty.

Suddenly I heard some noise outside, and I was filled with confusion. I thought to myself, "Who is in such a hurry in such heavy rain?"

When he saw that the person coming in was Chu Suiliang, who was soaked all over.

Fang Xuanling was even more surprised.

"Dengshan, what's wrong? What's the hurry? Why did you come here even in the heavy rain?"

"Don't let others run errands for you."

As Fang Xuanling spoke, he stood up and walked towards Chu Suiliang, his eyes full of concern, and at the same time a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

He looked at Chu Suiliang who was soaked.

Something big must have happened, otherwise Dengshan would not be like this.

"Did something happen on the front line?"

Fang Xuanling guessed that, after all, in these troubled times, the situation on the border had always been the court's greatest concern. His brows furrowed slightly, and worry was revealed in his eyes.

The importance of border stability to the Tang Dynasty is self-evident. If there is a defeat on the front line, there will be devastating consequences for the people.

Chu Suiliang shook off the rain on his body vigorously, and water droplets splashed everywhere.

He fixed his eyes on Fang Xuanling and said hurriedly, "Prime Minister Fang, this isn't the front line, this is Chang'an. Something big has happened in Chang'an! Take a look at this memorial!"

He was extremely anxious and hoped that Prime Minister Fang could understand the seriousness of the matter.

He was worried that Prime Minister Fang would take the matter lightly, and the consequences would be disastrous.

When Fang Xuanling heard that something had happened in Chang'an, his face instantly became solemn, and he felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

He put on his reading glasses again, took the memorial, and read it word by word.

As his eyes moved across the memorial, his expression became increasingly grim, his brows furrowed tightly together, his eyes filled with shock and worry.

His heart was in turmoil.

Jinyiwei beat drums in public to protest! What a serious situation!

You must know that the Jinyiwei's intelligence system has always been strict. Their information is passed internally layer by layer and finally reaches His Majesty directly without going through the three provinces at all.

And now, a thousand households actually chose to use such an extreme method to bypass his superiors and convey the message directly to His Majesty.

This means that there may be huge problems in the upper echelons of the Jinyiwei, or there may be injustice that this thousand-householder cannot resolve through normal channels.
