After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

"Now, we can't directly confront the Princess Mansion, so there are only two ways to go. First, let Dali Temple hand over the evidence, but Menghua will definitely receive the news and destroy all the evidence by then. If he wants to It will be very difficult to bring her to justice. The second thing is to file a complaint!"

Complaints and riots started. The bigger the quarrel, the less able the emperor was to engage in malpractice for personal gain. But the person who filed the complaint could only be a relative of the victim, not Mu Xinghe, and even less so Xiao Yu.

Of course, besides filing a petition, there are other ways. She can immediately call the beggar and make the noise known to everyone early in the morning. But in this case, there will be a time lag for Menghua to destroy the evidence, and everything she does has no support, and it will harm the Yongyi Hou Mansion.

Of course Mu Xinghe would not choose this kind of last resort.

However, filing a complaint does not mean filing a complaint immediately. To file a complaint, the process is miserable, but there is nothing you can do about it.

The first step in the imperial petition is to beat the drum, and then beat the eighty big boards. After the beating, they have to roll the nail board. After rolling the nail board, they kneel and kowtow again and again, all the way to the palace gate.

In this way, someone in the palace will take the imperial certificate and hand it to the emperor, and then the emperor will summon him.

If the punishment is not completed, or if he dies in the process, then the imperial edict will be in vain.

No young person could bear such a punishment, let alone two old people. On the way here, she thought about it for a long time and a lot, but in the end, she still left the decision in their hands.

"Sir, although I support your petition, it is very likely that you will be dead without being able to hand over the petition. I can assure you that even if this incident cannot shake the foundation of Menghua, I will definitely Let them be ruined."

Although they would not be able to be brought to justice if they did not file a complaint, this incident would make them restrain themselves a little. Even if they did not repay their sins at this time, they would not remain unpunished.

"Thank you, Lord County, for thinking about us." Hearing this, the old man smiled and knelt down in front of her, "But in this case, their revenge will never be avenged. No one will know who died for my pair of grandchildren." In my hands, no one knows why my son died. Ever since I decided to find the truth and avenge them, I have given up my life. If unfortunately I die on the way, it will be my life, even if When I get to hell, I can tell them openly that I have worked hard for them."

Mu Xinghe's eyes immediately became moist, and she quickly helped the old man up. Since the old man gave the answer, she would also give her promise, "As long as you can deliver the imperial certificate to the palace gate, I guarantee that they will pay for it." The price you deserve!"

"With the words of the county master, I will have no regrets in this life."

The old man wiped away his tears and picked up the pen. He was a scholar, so his literary talent was needless to say. Moreover, the hatred and longing of the past five years were all poured into this piece of paper.

-

Early morning in Beijing.

Yesterday, on the Double Ninth Festival, there were already a lot of people. At that time, the Yamen arrested people, and soon people knew that Prince Duan's little princess was taken away by a kidnapper. Mu Xinghe risked his life in order to catch all those people.

This matter spread like wildfire last night, and basically everyone in the capital knew about it. In the morning, another rumor came out that Princess Menghua was an employer and purchased children from kidnappers.

The reason was that two old men heard that a child abductor had been caught in Dali Temple, and they came to Dali Temple very early. Last night, everyone in Dali Temple was rushing to deal with this matter, and no one went back.

When it was almost five o'clock, the officials of Dali Temple came out, and the old man rushed forward, crying and complaining, saying that he wanted to find his grandson and granddaughter.

They had been tired all night, and now they rushed to have breakfast. After eating, they had to go to the morning court. The group of officials paid no attention to these two people and dragged them away.

During the commotion, the old man's lost grandson and granddaughter had butterfly birthmarks. It was known to an insider. He exclaimed, "It's them. Leggings kidnapped them and sold them to the employer in the capital. They were sold to Wen'an Temple in Wen'an Temple." Made the deal.”

Then, for some reason, the relationship between Wen'an Temple and Menghua evolved. The old man went to the princess's house to look for the children, but was turned away and even beaten.

Of course, with Mu Xinghe secretly guarding them, she would not let them get hurt here.

At five o'clock in the morning, the imperial drum, which had been silent for a hundred years, was beaten.

A whole nine times! ! !

There is also a saying about knocking the imperial drum. Three knocks are to sue officials below the seventh rank. Six knocks are for the seventh to third rank. The seventh knock is the second rank. The eighth knock is the first rank. The ninth blow...

Nine is the ultimate number and represents nobility. Therefore, the nine knocks were meant to sue the royal family.

The sound of the imperial drum was so loud that it could be heard in the palace. Within a quarter of an hour, palace attendants came out, and people were already surrounding them.

"Who are you and what are you suing for?"

"I am the candidate for the Wenzhou Township Examination in the fifth year of Lingxuan." The old man knelt down, held up the paper, revealed his identity one by one, and then knocked his head down hard, "I want to sue Princess Menghua for disregarding the national law and sharing with others. Kidnapping business, buying and selling of children! My grandson was kidnapped by a kidnapper and sold to the princess's house."

"Is there any evidence?"

"There are both human and physical evidence, and they are all stored in Dali Temple."

The palace officials did not ask him why he came to complain since the witnesses and physical evidence were already in Dali Temple. After all, the person suing was Menghua, the emperor's biological sister.

"Okay, then do you know the regulations for filing imperial petitions?"

"I know."

"Okay, torture bench."

The old lady walked over tremblingly, but without hesitation, "I'll come."

The palace man took one look at it and looked it up and down, "Okay."

The old lady lay on the torture bench and closed her eyes. She didn't ask for anything, she just asked for justice. She should have died long ago. She kept holding her breath with hatred. If she could die, she would get what she deserved. justice.

Then she would feel at ease even if she died.

The board fell on her buttocks and thighs. The board was heavy and the sound was very loud, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

However, in just thirty minutes, she was already weak, as if she would die in the next moment. The blood behind her had soaked her pants and dripped from the stool, forming puddles of blood on the ground.

Seeing this tragic situation, some of the people around them couldn't bear it anymore, "Oh, people will definitely die if these eighty boards go down."

"But there is no way. Who told him to file a complaint? This complaint has been like this since ancient times."

"When all the servants are dead, she won't be able to hold on until she rolls the nail board and then kneels to the palace gate. So isn't all the suffering she is going through now in vain?"

After all, a young man who was beaten fifty times could lose half his life, let alone an old man who was beaten eighty times.
