"In cases of wrongdoing, the common people would be ruined at best, while wives would be ruined at worst. In order to reduce the number of wrongdoing cases, the imperial court had set up the Supreme Court and was in charge of the prison. However, as a private matter, Yan Heshen tried his best to rope in his father, and was rejected several times. "Send people from the martial arts world to disguise themselves as my father and enter the justice courts to give a cup of poisoned wine in the name of the Emperor." This was all written in the secret letter that Lin Yi sent over. The anger from when they first met had already disappeared. Now, all that settled in Su Mu's heart was a sad truth.

No matter how painful the burning wound on his foot was, it was no match for the pain of losing his family.

What the commoners could see was that the ruler wanted them to see it. Su Mu's words were like lifting off a veil, exposing the darkness of the decaying imperial court under the sun.

After Su Mu went through the red charcoal, his delicate feet were no longer visible. All that could be seen was a burnt black.

Su Mu walked towards the Heaven Shaking Drum without the slightest hesitation.

The Heaven Shaking Drum rack was the same height as Su Mu, and the Heaven Shaking Drum itself was half the height of a person.

Su Mu lowered his eyes and adjusted his sleeves, pushing his loose hair to the side of his face and back. After tossing and turning, Su Mu was at the end of his strength. His face was pale and his steps were unstable. His forehead was covered in sweat and his hair was completely wet.

Su Mu raised his head and looked at Lin Yi. Their gazes met in the air.

Su Mu stood on his tiptoes and stretched out his arms to the top of his head.

As the punch landed, the Heaven Shaking Drum, which was made from leather, made a loud noise.

"Former Official of the Supreme Court Su Shao, former Grand Marshal Ye Chao, former Minister Zhao Lisheng, former Commander Chang An … Yan Heng's crimes are too many to count! " Su Mu yelled with a resolute expression on his face.

"Shut up!" "Shut up!" The situation had developed beyond Yan Heng's expectations. It was just like how he never thought that Su Mu would be able to make it to the Heaven Shaking Drum. He also never expected that Lin Yi would be able to find out so much.

"Yan Heshen has taken the Imperial examinations and is hindering the entry of talents into the imperial court."

"The capital's rapist is also Yan Hen's subordinate, and it's only because the victims' parents don't work with him!" Su Mu roared. His hands never stopped beating the sky, causing the drum to rumble. However, Su Mu's voice was even louder than the drum's.

"The death of General Zhuo Tian Xing was also related to Yan Ling. In order to conceal the truth, Yan Xing sent people to slaughter more than two hundred people in a small town in the southwest. They sent a thousand taels of gold and thousands of stones to the southwest." The surface of the drum was covered with blood. Su Mu continued to beat the drum crazily as if he didn't know the pain, "This move is betraying the country!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every word seemed to echo in the hearts of everyone present.

Su Mu's throat was filled with a strong smell of rust and blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth.

In the eyes of the common people, even if Su Mu hadn't discovered the truth, what he had said was already the truth.

Suddenly, a chill went down Su Mu's spine. Under the gaze of the crowd, a sharp arrow flew over with an unstoppable force.

In broad daylight and clear skies, there were actually people who committed violence in public.

Lin Yi could not help but use some strength in his hand that was holding Yan Hen's arm. Wang Huan could only hear a "kacha" sound, and Yan Hen's scream was like a pig that was being butchered.

Lin Yi left Yan Heng and dashed in Su Mu's direction.

But it was too late. The silver light from the arrow had already pierced into Su Mu's body, causing blood to spurt out and blossom on the drum.

Lin Yi hugged Su Mu.

He was too impulsive. He shouldn't have hugged Su Mu in front of the crowd, but he couldn't help it. The arrow and the hug were the only mistakes in his plan.

Yan Heshen wanted to say that he had not released the arrow, but he also knew that no one would believe him even if he told them about it.

All the charges were firmly nailed to him because of this arrow.

No, no, things will turn around.

History books were only written by the victors. As long as he was the victor, in a hundred years, naturally no one would remember his mistakes.

"Would the Crown Prince please inspect the chief assistant of the Cabinet in detail?" Below the stage, a green-robed scholar shouted, his face flushed.

With someone taking the lead, the audience immediately recalled the continuous shouts, requesting the crown prince to reopen the old case.

Lin Yi handed Su Mu to Wang Yu and ordered him to bring the treatment over quickly. The sticky feeling of the fresh blood in his hand was still there, but Lin Yi could only forcefully restrain his desire to follow Su Mu.

Since Su Mu had done so much for him, he couldn't give up at this moment.

Lin Yi saw Wang Lin walking away, he turned his head to look at Yan Ling, and before he could say anything, Yan Ling said to the crowd, "What this woman said is above fire and water, although this official wants to prove his innocence, I am appointed as the chief assistant of the emperor, and am in charge of all the major affairs of the imperial court. At this moment, the emperor is in bed, and the crown prince has not been involved in the affairs of the imperial court, so if I am imprisoned, it will definitely be chaos in the imperial court, which will give those who have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yan Hen spoke very sincerely, but unfortunately, that arrow was too fierce, so the people couldn't change their opinion at the moment.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. An old man with white hair and a beard said, "If he is innocent, why would he want to assassinate him?"

The old man was once the teacher of the Crown Prince. After his old age had ended, he had set up a school for the commoners. All he needed to do was show his interest and enroll in the school.

Yan Wu wanted to vomit blood, but he resisted the urge to go on a rampage, and patiently said: "If I want to kill this person, there are many ways, why wait for her to go to the drum tower. "This is because someone intentionally brought this upon me, with the intention of hurting the very foundation of the country. Teacher, please do not be deceived by the bandits."

What Yan Hen said sounded very reasonable, and the people below the stage gradually calmed down as well.

Yan Jie swore to the heavens, "When the Emperor wakes up, there will be someone in charge of the affairs of the court. I will personally take off my crown and enter the justice courts."

"Sure." The old man nodded.

Lin Yi saw that his acting was very good, so he naturally couldn't say that he was taking him into the justice courts right now. Otherwise, in the eyes of the commoners, this scene might turn bad again.

The people weren't stupid. If Lin Yi was in a rush to push Yan Ling off his horse, then in their eyes, it could be that Lin Yi was dissatisfied and wanted to seize power.

"According to the law, the justice courts must review this case to ensure that there is not a single omission. However, the case was more involved, and the main suspect was in danger, so he could only postpone the case. I will have to trouble you, Sir Yan. " Lin Yi said respectfully.

When Yan Hen saw Lin Yi, he immediately felt pain in his arm. Although he had not seen a doctor, Yan Hen had already guessed that his arm must have been fractured, and could not even lift it up now.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Lin Yi held Yan Hen's arm, gently squeezed it and said, "I am really sorry about that, Sir Yan. I was a little nervous just now."

Yan Hen grimaced in pain, but he had no other choice. He had never learned kung fu before, so he couldn't escape from Lin Yi's grasp at all.

The pain caused Yan Heshen's normally rosy face to turn pale, but when he thought about Su Mu's injuries, Lin Yi felt that breaking his other arm was a good idea.

Lin Yi coldly snorted, "Sir Yan should go to the doctor as soon as possible, even your hands are still useless if you don't enter the coffin."
