Chapter 632: Carrying the coffin into the hall, accusing the entire Supreme Court

Lu Zhen's expression was shocked, and he spoke with astonishment.

Following these words, the hundred officials were all shocked.

But the faces of Lu Wen and Wang Yifan changed suddenly.

Grievance Drum!

Once this drum sounds, it means there is a great grievance, which is not a good thing for them.

"It must be the Ministry of Justice's fault!" Lu Wen thought silently in his heart.

"It must be the Supreme Court's fault!" Wang Yifan thought silently in his heart.

The two prayed in their hearts at the same time.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes looked outside the hall, her expression tightened, and her face looked very bad.

Soon, an Imperial Guard stepped into the Jin Luan Hall, knelt down, and said to Wu Zhao, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a commoner outside the Shenque Gate wearing mourning clothes, mourning cloth on her head, holding the Great Proclamation high, who has sounded the Grievance Drum, and... is also carrying a black coffin!"

Once these words were out.

Wu Zhao couldn't sit still; she suddenly sat up straight.

"What?"

"A commoner wearing mourning clothes, mourning cloth on her head, holding the Great Proclamation high, and carrying a black coffin has sounded the Grievance Drum?"

Wu Zhao's face was extremely ugly.

This Grievance Drum hadn't sounded for more than ten years, but how long had she been on the throne, and a commoner had sounded the Grievance Drum!

This made Wu Zhao very unhappy!

"Audacious!"

"This Grievance Drum hasn't sounded in over ten years. Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, a treacherous commoner has actually struck it, as if they have some heaven-sized injustice. Do they think the current Emperor is a benevolent ruler and therefore easy to bully?"

"This subject implores Your Majesty to throw this villainous commoner out and beat her to death with sticks!"

Gao Yang stepped out, saying with a face full of righteousness.

The hundred officials looked sideways, their eyes twitching.

As expected of Da Qian's Living Yama, this is too ruthless.

What kind of hatred or resentment is this? The commoner is so miserable that she has to file a petition to the Emperor, and Gao Yang's first words are to throw her out and beat her to death.

But only Gao Feng looked at Gao Yang with a strange expression, his whole body feeling as if ants were crawling on it.

This rebellious son, his acting is getting more and more realistic.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao's face turned black instantly.

But listening to Gao Yang's words, her heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"Minister Gao, there is no need to be so ruthless!"

"Since the commoner can bypass the local government offices, bypass the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice, and even go so far as to hold the Great Proclamation high and carry a coffin into the hall, she must have a heaven-sized grievance."

"Proclaim!"

Wu Zhao waved her hand and said directly.

"Your Majesty is too kind; it truly makes this subject ashamed."

Gao Yang sighed on the side.

Wu Zhao's lips curled, and she said nothing, but she was in a great mood.

After all, this flattery came from Gao Yang!

Soon, Lin Shi, wearing mourning clothes and mourning cloth on her head, walked into the Jin Luan Hall with firm steps.

Beside her was the little girl An An, also wearing mourning clothes and mourning cloth on her head, and behind her was the black coffin carried by the guards.

Seeing the guards carrying the black coffin, Gao Yang felt a bit of a pity.

He forgot to say that they should have found four Kunlun slaves to carry the coffin; the visual impact of that would definitely be even stronger!

Upon seeing Wu Zhao, a trace of fear appeared in Lin Shi's eyes.

This is the natural fear of ordinary people facing imperial power, which simply cannot be restrained.

"Commoner Lin Shi, a native of Qingzhou, pays respects to Your Majesty; may Your Majesty live for ten thousand years."

"Rise."

"Is it you who held the Great Proclamation and sounded the Grievance Drum to seek justice from me?"

Wu Zhao asked, her voice indifferent.

This scene before her, even though she is the Empress of Da Qian, she has to say, is too impactful.

Lin Shi knelt on the ground, looked at Wu Zhao, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this commoner wants to seek justice for my deceased husband; I implore Your Majesty to make the decision for this commoner!"

At this time, Lu Wen said coldly, "Since there is a grievance, why not go to the Supreme Court to seek justice?"

"The Supreme Court is in charge of the world's cases; even the unjust cases of the Ministry of Justice can be reviewed by the Supreme Court. Why disturb Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifan's face turned green.

This bastard!

Xu Xuanji glanced at Lu Wen and then said, "Not bad. Since there is a grievance, why not go to the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court Minister has always been fair, and the upper and lower levels are upright; they will definitely be able to clear your name. Why not go?"

Upon hearing Xu Xuanji's words, Lu Wen looked proud.

Seeing this, Gao Yang said indifferently, "The Supreme Court has always been fair, but since she is holding the Great Proclamation, there must be a reason. We can talk about it later; it won't be too late."

Gao Yang's gaze fell on Lin Shi.

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment; she had clearly told Gao Yang the reason in the morning.

But when she met Gao Yang's eyes, which were full of deep meaning, she understood instantly.

Gao Yang... wants her to avoid the entire Supreme Court!

But in the Supreme Court, it wasn't just Tian Qing alone, but from top to bottom, officials protecting each other.

Other Supreme Court Justices also refused to summon the Liu Qin Wenchang couple and also drove her out.

Lin Shi was silent at first, then raised her head and said, "The officials may not know that this commoner sold all my family property to come to Changan to find my husband, and the first place I went to was the Supreme Court!"

"But the Supreme Court refused to file the case, so with no other choice, this commoner could only investigate it myself!"

"Later, when this commoner found evidence, I realized that the person I wanted to accuse was the brother-in-law of the Supreme Court Justice Tian Qing, which is why the Supreme Court protected them layer by layer; they are all birds of a feather!"

"They not only refused to summon the Qin Qin Wenchang couple who murdered my husband but also tortured this commoner and drove this commoner and my daughter out!"

"Several officials, Your Majesty, please look."

Lin Shi stretched out her fingers, and those bruised and swollen fingers were exposed in the main hall.

Instantly, the entire court was shocked.

Numerous gazes gathered on Lu Wen instantly, filled with astonishment.

Wu Zhao's jade hand gripped the armrest of the dragon throne tightly, furious.

"Minister Lu, is this how the Supreme Court handles cases?"

Bang!
