Chapter 499: The Drum of Public Observation is Struck Again

"Sui Ning, what are you doing?"

Lu Yan and the others were very confused and followed him down.

However, Jiang Suining did not answer them, but walked towards Xuanwu Gate.

With its golden nails and red lacquer, dragons, phoenixes and flying clouds, the Xuanwu Gate is very majestic.

However, not everyone who wants to enter the palace can go through this way.

Lu Yan frowned and looked at him, "Does Sui Ning want to enter Xuanwu Gate?"

As a palace lady, although there was no rule that prohibited her from entering from here, she would most likely be stopped by the guards and asked to go through the west gate.

Wei Yao also looked at Jiang Suining with confusion.

Jiang Suining stopped when he was two meters away from Xuanwu Gate, then turned and walked to the right.

Wei Yao looked in that direction, and the next moment her eyes narrowed.

"Oh no, Sui Ning is not going to beat the drum to report the incident!"

Hearing this, Lu Yan and He Qingrui were both stunned.

Wei Yao didn't care about anything else and ran towards Jiang Suining quickly. The moment Jiang Suining grasped the drumstick, she grabbed his hand.

"No, you can't knock!"

Jiang Suining didn't expect Wei Yao to run over and stop him so quickly. After a brief moment of shock, he tried to break free from her hand, but Wei Yao held on tightly.

"Wei Yao, since I'm here to beat the drum, I must have a case that I must report. Don't stop me."

“No matter what the case is, we can discuss it in the long run, but the Dengwen Drum must not be struck!” Wei Yao’s face rarely showed such urgency, as if the Dengwen Drum in front of her was some kind of flood beast that would swallow people up in one gulp if it was struck lightly.

Jiang Suining was stunned, and suddenly remembered the old incident four years ago that Shen Yanxi's father mentioned.

"Your father...is Wei Ziyi?"

Wei Yao shuddered all over, and under Jiang Suining's surprised gaze, she nodded and spoke.

"Since you know my father, you should also know what happened four years ago. This drum may reach the ears of the emperor, but even if you have been wronged, you may not get a fair result by appearing before the emperor. You may even end up hurting yourself!"

Wei Yao was feeling anxious and uneasy. She did not care that they were still at the gate of the imperial palace and had to be careful with her words and actions. She just lowered her voice and quickly advised Jiang Suining.

"Sui Ning, my father was not an official in the Imperial City back then. He was hated just for helping to send people into the Imperial City, and he died of depression. I am grateful for your help before, and I regard you as a good friend in my heart. I really don't want you to repeat the same mistake again."

Although she didn't know what Sui Ning was going to sue for, according to Sui Ning's status, if it was just an ordinary case, there was no need to come here to report it. Since he came here, it could only mean that even Shen Yanxi might not be able to solve it, so it was definitely not a trivial matter.

The bigger the case and the greater the impact, the more likely it is that it will be left unresolved due to the involvement of people behind it, and in the end it may still be Sui Ning who gets into trouble!

As they were talking, Lu Yan and He Qingrui had already walked over and also tried to persuade them.

"Sui Ning, this drumbeat is no joke. Put down the drumstick first and tell us what's going on. Maybe we can come up with another solution." Lu Yan advised.

"Yes, aren't you and Lord Shen getting married soon? Ask Lord Shen to help you. If that doesn't work, we will also help you find a solution." He Qingrui also spoke quickly.

Jiang Suining looked at the three people and finally stopped at Wei Yao.

"Wei Yao, thank you for telling me what happened just now. I know you all mean well, but I have made up my mind. You should hurry up and go to the palace to take up your duties. Don't miss the important things."

"Sui Ning, but..."

Wei Yao wanted to persuade him again, but Jiang Suining had already broken free from her hand while she was talking.

As the drumstick fell, the drum surface vibrated, and the Dengwen Drum, which had been silent for four years, made a sound again.

Then, the second, third, and fourth sounds came...

Jiang Suining knocked repeatedly, his whole body like a sword blade that had been sharpened, breaking through the usually round and gentle scabbard, revealing the sharp cold light hidden within.

"I am Jiang Suining, a commoner girl. My biological father is Gu Qingyan, the former governor of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan. My father was devoted to the country and the people, but he was framed for embezzling the disaster relief funds of Songjiang Prefecture and died unjustly."

"The Third Prince Xiao Ling colluded with disaster relief officials, embezzled relief funds, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and in order to cover up his crimes, he killed people and turned black into white."

"Hundreds of innocent people were accused of being rioters and burned to death. Countless victims were starving, had nowhere to live, and died of illness. The crimes are blatant and heinous. I ask the Holy Spirit to make a wise judgment, re-examine the old cases, and redress the injustice of the innocent."

"I am Jiang Suining, a commoner girl. My biological father is Gu Qingyan, the former governor of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan. My father is dedicated to the country and the people..."

……

The sound of drums accompanied Jiang Suining's petition, ringing again and again, and shouting again and again.

Although Wei Yao and Lu Yan were not very clear about the Songjiang Prefecture case, they were terrified when they heard Jiang Suining's complaint.

Three princes...

The person Sui Ning wanted to sue turned out to be the Third Prince!

Lu Yan looked extremely nervous.

Although the Third Prince was convicted and imprisoned in the palace some time ago, he still has the identity of a prince after all. Sui Ning's move is too bold!

He Qingrui was already very frightened and nervously pulled Lu Yan's sleeve.

"This, this...are we still going to be here?"

My father once warned me repeatedly to be careful with what I said and did in the palace and not to cause any trouble. If I continue to stay here, will people think that I am in cahoots with Sui Ning?

Lu Yan glanced at He Qingrui, then looked at Jiang Suining who was still beating the drum, and said helplessly: "Let's go into the palace first."

This matter was so big that she didn't dare to get involved.

Lu Yan called Wei Yao again. The latter knew that she really shouldn't stay now, but she was still worried when she saw Jiang Suining.

"Wei Yao, you can go without worry, I will accompany my sister." Jiang Mushi appeared behind them at some point.

Jiang Suining was stunned when he heard the voice and turned his head to look back.

"Mu Shi, didn't I tell you not to..."

"Sister, you said you wouldn't let me come, but I didn't promise to listen to you." Jiang Mushi's usual nonchalant smile faded away, "You can't drive me away. If you're tired, I'll knock for you."

Looking at the determined Jiang Mushi, Jiang Suining pursed his lips, retracted his gaze and continued.

"You should persuade your sister. It's too dangerous for her to do this." Wei Yao couldn't help but say to Jiang Mushi.

"I won't persuade her, let alone stop her."

"Aren't you worried about anything happening?"

"I am worried, but this is my sister's decision, and what she is doing is right. No matter how long or when she takes to sue, I will support her."

Wei Yao felt as if her heart was hit by something, and suddenly remembered what her father had said.

Although I cannot accompany you to the Imperial City, since this matter is unfair, no matter how long or when you sue, I will support you...
