Originally, the Yamen wanted to stop it, but there was a rule that the Yamen on duty were not allowed to stop people who were beating drums to complain about injustice.

So even if they thought Su Lanxin was joking, they didn't dare to stop her and had to persuade her verbally.

"Little sister, come down quickly, you can't beat this drum casually!"

Su Lanxin acted as if she didn't hear it and felt no pressure. Others heard the drums and came out to check, so they naturally joined in the persuasion process.

"Whose family do you, little girl, belong to? Don't you know that you can't beat this drum randomly?"

"Yes, yes, little sister, this is the government office, not a place for you to play house. Why don't you go somewhere else to play?"

The continuous sound of drums attracted many people to stop and watch. When the government officials saw that she was not listening to her advice, one of the officials who was less patient yelled: "You girl, why are you not obedient at all? Come down quickly, otherwise We’ll give you a few slaps for obstructing official duties!”

Su Lanxin stopped beating the drum, "Isn't this the government office?"

The man nodded!

Su Lanxin asked again: "Anyone with grievances can beat this drum, right?"

The man continued to nod!

Su Lanxin continued: "Then my home was robbed, is it wrong to come here to play drums?"

The man wanted to nod, but felt something was wrong...

Su Lanxin: "So I have a grievance, so there's nothing wrong with playing drums, right?"

The government offices no longer block it, and the people outside your control are also talking about it.

Starting to point fingers at the Yamen’s inaction...

A government official came in to report. When the governor of Jingzhao learned that it was a little girl playing the drum, he didn't care much.

He thought this was just a little girl's joke and it was enough to scare him.

Before Yayi could continue speaking, the sound of drumming came again.

It turned out that Su Lanxin saw that there was no movement, thanked her, finished washing, and continued to knock.

The number of people watching ranged from just three to five people to crowding into the open space not far away.

Many people couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Why doesn't this government office pay attention to you?"

"Hey! Speaking of which, we silent people are suffering the most. These yamen say they can redress grievances, but no one in the world cares about us!"

"Who says it's not the case? But they say officials will protect each other? What is this word called?"

"That's called officials protecting each other. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

…………

People love to join in the fun, and people who can't see what's going on in front of them ask questions from behind. They spread the word to ten people and hundreds of people. In a short time, the people on the whole street knew that there was a little girl in front of Hu Yamen who complained about injustice, but the Yamen ignored her.

Many people came to the door of the government office and shouted that they wanted to handle the matter under negative pressure. Mr. Yao, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, listened to the noise outside.

As a last resort, they had to start going to the hall. Su Lanxin and Xinyue were kneeling at the foot of the hall. The two small people formed a sharp contrast with the tall and powerful government officials around them.

Master Yao looked at the two little girls kneeling on the ground with a headache, and lowered his voice.

Don't make your voice a little gentler, "Who are you in the hall?"

Su Lanxin took a deep breath and said, "My little girl, Su Lanxin, pays homage to Master Yao!"

Master Yao continued: "If you have any grievances, tell me, I will make the decision for you!"

Su Lanxin then said: "My mother Bai Shu died of illness a few months ago. A few days ago, Xiao Ming discovered that the warehouse where my mother's dowry was kept was forcibly broken into.

I don’t know how many things are missing inside, but my mother’s favorite jade coral is missing.

It was my mother's favorite object during her lifetime. My daughter searched for it to no avail, so she had no choice but to seek help from adults. "

Master Yao still hasn't figured out who Bai Shu is? One of the people watching said, "Girl, are you talking about Bai Shu, the only daughter of General Bai's family?"

Su Lanxin's tears immediately flowed out, "It's my mother Bai Shu!"

Lord Yao felt like he was struck by lightning and asked, "Are you the servant of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Qingyun, a girl from Lord Su's family?"

Su Lanxin nodded!

The people watching were talking a lot.

"Who do you think is so bold as to go to Su's house to steal things?"

"What? It's possible that someone was guarding and stealing. After all, the current head of the Su family was once a concubine."

"That's right, he knows his face but not his heart. Who knows who he is?"

Master Yao didn't care what these people said, he quickly asked someone to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to notify Su Qingyun.

Even during this interval, Mr. Yao occasionally asked a question or two, and Su Lanxin also answered honestly.

The people watching also guessed something from her answer...

Su Qingyun was busy when he learned that his eldest daughter had gone to Jingzhao Mansion to cause mischief. He was so angry that one soul left his body and two souls ascended to heaven.

He hurriedly ran to ask for leave, and then hurriedly went to the Jingzhao Mansion Office.

When they arrived, they saw Su Lanxin and a maid beside her kneeling in front of the hall.

Su Qingyun resisted the urge to beat her to death and stepped forward to negotiate with Master Yao.

Master Yao quickly stood up when he saw Su Qingyun arriving, and Su Qingyun greeted Master Yao.

"Master Yao, my little girl is ignorant and has caused you trouble!"

Master Yao quickly returned the greeting: "Where is it, Master Su! I didn't know this was your girl at first."

If he had known earlier that she was the daughter of the Su family, there would be no need for her to be promoted to court! It was sent back directly.

Su Qingyun reached out to pull Su Lanxin, but Su Lanxin quickly dodged and said, "Master Yao, what do you mean?"

Master Yao said very kindly: "Niece of the Su family, how about you go back with Master Su first?"

Su Qingyun asked: "Go back with me first. The items in your mother's dowry were not stolen, but I moved them to another place."

Su Lanxin still stubbornly asked Master Yao: "Sir, are you not going to take care of it anymore?"

Master Yao smiled and said: "Didn't your father tell you? It wasn't stolen, it was just moved to another place.

My little niece, there is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores. This can be considered a household chore for you.

The thing you mentioned was not stolen, but moved to another place, so it cannot be tried as a theft case.

Listen to me, go back with your father first! If anything happens, can we discuss it with our families? "

Su Qingyun also coaxed her and said: "Xin'er, let's go home first, okay? We are making a joke here, let's go home first, and I will give you everything you want."

Su Lanxin heard her father call her that. In the past, her father would hug her and talk softly.

It's just that this kind of thing has never happened to me since Su Lanyu was born.

So Su Lanxin's eyes felt sore for a moment, but she suddenly remembered the way he looked at her before he died.

"I don't! My mother's favorite jade coral is missing. I have to find it, otherwise my mother will be sad!"

Su Qingyun just wanted to slap her to death, remembering that she was in her study asking for Bai Shu's dowry.

Could this girl be here just to get her mother's dowry?

The people outside the door praised Su Lanxin for being a filial woman...

Some people lamented that not long after Bai Shu's death, their only daughter was forced to report to the government, and they didn't know what kind of life they were living in the Su family...
