The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 625

Emperor Jing'an pinched the center of his brows, his face was tired, he was getting older, and his body was getting worse, after only sitting for a while, his waist and back were already aching.

"Go and see, who exactly sounded the drum of grievance."

He Cheng responded, summoned Xiao Shunzi, and whispered some instructions. Xiao Shunzi was quick-witted, and trotted back not long after.

"Your Majesty, the one complaining of grievances outside the palace is a girl, surnamed Huo, named Huo Xiu. Standing next to her is the Governor of Ji Hongxin."

Emperor Jing'an pinched the hand between his brows for a moment, and finally opened his eyes: "Is it a woman?"

Seeing that Xiao Shunzi responded, he became even more impatient: "He Cheng, go and persuade him. If you have grievances, go to Ji Hongxin. Don't suffer and die. This call for grievances is not a hothead You can hit it."

He Cheng had a bitter face: "But once the grievance drum is beaten, there is no turning back. It is a rule passed down by the ancestors."

Emperor Jing'an snorted coldly: "I pretend I haven't heard it, third child, did you hear it?"

Xie Chu's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head. Emperor Jing'an became more and more satisfied. As the third younger brother, the biggest advantage of him is his transparency.

"What about the others?"

Shen Xian and Xie Yang also shook their heads quickly, hearing the surname Huo, Xie Yang's heart skipped a beat, remembering an old incident,
His eyes lingered on Xie Chu for a few moments. It happened so coincidentally that it was hard for him not to suspect that it had something to do with Xie Chu.

Thinking of the child in Shen Zhaozhao's womb, Xie Yang felt more at ease, even if this matter had something to do with Xie Chu, but if Xie Chu wanted to use this matter to trip him up, it would be really ridiculous.

No one spoke in the hall for a while, needles could be heard falling, and the atmosphere was strangely oppressive. Emperor Jing'an sat motionless at the top, and the people below did not dare to take a breath.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, He Cheng came back out of breath, his face was not very good-looking, and he knelt down respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave has persuaded me many times, but Huo Xiu is very stubborn, and he is determined to beat the drum for grievances, and the slave can't stop her." live."

A trace of impatience flashed in Emperor Jing'an's eyes, and he sat upright again, with a sarcasm in his tone: "There is such a person who doesn't know how to praise, since she wants to die, then let her be fulfilled, and follow the procedure."

He Cheng responded, said no more, and told the people below to prepare to go down, shaking his head inwardly.

Oh, it's a pity that she's such a good-looking girl.

Song Xieyu stood beside Xie Chu, watching Huo Xiu and Ji Hongxin appear at the gate of the hall together. Half an hour later, the long corridor leading to Fu'an Hall was paved with charcoal three feet long.

Looking at the charcoal, Ji Hongxin couldn't bear it, lowered his voice and asked the woman next to him again: "Miss Huo, it's too late to repent now, you'd better be more thoughtful."

As the governor of the government, he was in charge of unjust, false and wrong cases of all parties, but this Miss Huo was sent here by her friend Jin Zhang personally, begging him for help.

He didn't ask about the relationship between Huo Xiu and Jin Zhang, they were classmates, and he knew Jin Zhang's temperament, it must not be a trivial matter that made him come to ask for help.

Sure enough, the moment Miss Huo came up, she wanted to sue the current crown prince...

Huo Xiu didn't change his expression from the beginning to the end, watching those little eunuchs pouring baskets of burning red charcoal onto the bluestone slabs, his expression was cold and no emotion could be seen.

After hearing Ji Hongxin's words, she suddenly smiled, and this smile immediately made her face vivid, charming and charming, but the words she said were as desolate and desolate as autumn leaves falling.

"Jifu Yin was joking. With the sound of the grievance drum, there is no turning back. Even if there was a turning back, I cut it off with my own hands when that father-in-law persuaded me just now."

When the drum of complaining of grievances sounded, if he couldn't get through this road of complaining, not only would he not be able to see the Holy Majesty, but he would also be beaten with fifty big boards and thrown out of the palace.

Fifty big boards hit her, and if she didn't die, she would lose half her life.

Ji Hongxin really gave her a high look. It is rare for a woman to be so calm in the face of such torture. No one has sounded the drum of grievances for decades, because she is afraid of this road of grievances. If she walks over, her legs will be broken It must be useless, and it is unknown whether one life can be saved.

Even if they get through it all, who can guarantee that their injustice can really be redressed?

Men may not have such courage, but as a woman, she is more responsible than a man.

Ji Hongxin clasped his fists at Huo Xiu: "Miss Huo, Ji can only send you here, please take care of the rest of the way."

Huo Xiu solemnly bowed to Ji Hongxin: "Master Ji's kindness, my daughter will never forget it."

If it weren't for Ji Hongxin, she might have died long ago when she met the side who complained about grievances. He and her are not relatives, but in this case, no matter whether the Huo family can redress their grievances or not, Ji Hongxin will be regarded as offending Xie Yang. damn.

Ji Hongxin is an upright official, a true parental official, if she was harmed by Xie Yang, even if she died, she would have a bad conscience!

The movement of the two of them was fully seen by the people in Fu'an Hall. Song Xieyu stood beside Xie Chu, and looked at Huo Xiu indifferently. She chose the road with great effort and no one forced her.

It is true that she wants revenge, and it is correct to use means, but it is also true that Song Xieyu doesn't like her. No matter what the purpose of the visitor is, or any grievances, what Song Xieyu hates the most in her life is who threatened her.

She appreciates Huo Xiu's heart to avenge her family, but Huo Xiu also firmly steps on her thunder point.

A little eunuch ran over from the side, and Xiao Shunzi took a few steps outside, raised his voice, the voice was high-pitched and thin, and it was extremely harsh to listen to: "Beat the drums, let's go the wrong way!"

boom! boom! boom!
The more than a dozen drum stands erected on both sides of the charcoal beat vigorously, the sound was deafening, and gradually became more rhythmic.

Song Xieyu listened to it, and soon realized that the drum was beating a famous song, ambushing on all sides, full of murderous aura, which made people feel flustered.

Huo Xiu took off her shoes and stepped on the burning coals with her bare feet. Song Xieyu couldn't bear to look any further, and her gaze fell to the ground.

Xie Yang's voice came to his ears mixed with the sound of drums, and he was actually smiling, as if he was watching a wonderful show.

"This Miss Huo really can hold on. After walking for more than half of the way, the soles of her feet are probably scalded, right?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care if no one responded, and clicked his tongue: "It's a pity, this delicate skin and tender meat must have never suffered much, so I can't bear to watch it any longer."

When Song Xieyu heard this, he just wanted to punch Xie Yang in the face, smashing his hypocritical face to pieces.

If she hadn't known that Xie Yang was the one who ruined the Huo family, after hearing what he said, I'm afraid she would really be deceived by him. How could she connect him with the Huo family?
Pretentiously, he called Dayu the second, but no one would dare to call him the first.

The drum sounded for a quarter of an hour before it stopped. Song Xieyu raised his eyes and saw that Huo Xiu had already walked the road paved with charcoal, lying on the ground, his hands and feet were burned badly, and his face was pale.
