The twenty-four soldiers watched helplessly as Ah Que ran towards the bronze drum, but no one dared to say a word to stop him. The base below the bronze drum is a chilong. The diameter of the bronze drum above is eight feet. The densely packed text on the drum is the entire "Da Jin Rhythm"!
This is the "Terrifying Dragon Drum". There is such a bronze drum at the entrance of all government offices in the Jin Dynasty. It has different sizes and specifications, but the rules are the same. Once the Jinglong Drum is sounded, the chief official of the Yamen must personally come forward to review the case, no matter what you are doing.
Even if the Jinglong Drum in front of the Jin Dynasty Palace is beaten, even if the Jin Dynasty emperor is sleeping, he has to be promoted to the palace director immediately. This is a rule set by the founder of Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, and no one in the world dares to violate it.
Of course, if someone dares to bang the dragon drum without any reason, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from being beaten with a hundred-killing stick to being stabbed, exiled, exiled, or even beheaded in public.
A Que came to the Jinglong Drum, grabbed the heavy bronze drum hammer, and hit the Jinglong Drum hard.
Wisps of thunder-like lines on the drum stand of the Shocking Dragon Drum suddenly lit up, and a loud "boom" sound shook the ground within a hundred feet. A circle of white air explosion visible to the naked eye erupted from the Shocking Dragon Drum. When he came out, Ah Que let out a strange cry, and was shaken by the huge drum sound and flew back more than ten feet. He fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment and rolled over again.
The twenty-four soldiers at the gate were also shaken by the huge sound of the Jinglong Drum, their faces turned pale, and they held Chang Ge in a panic, barely able to stabilize their bodies.
The idle men who followed Ah Que to watch the excitement exclaimed in unison, and the white air blast from the Jinglong Drum swept over. Thirty or fifty idle men screamed strangely, and were rolled all over the ground like gourds rolling on the ground. The idle man's head hit the edge of the brick, and he was bleeding and crying.
In the prefect's mansion, Sima Zhui Feng, the prefect of Yizhou, got up early.
I did a set of body-building boxing exercises in the yard to invigorate my body. After finishing the daily morning exercises, I asked the maid to boil fragrant soup, took a comfortable bath, and had a special meal. Exquisite breakfast.
Sima Zhuifeng, who was feeling warm and comfortable all over his body and his internal organs were fully enjoying themselves, stood in the back garden of the prefecture, smiling and watching his concubines laughing and playing with several long-haired green-eyed cats. Noisy.
Sima Zhuifeng was in a very good mood, extremely good.
The Sima family is a prominent family in the Jin Dynasty, the founding family of the Jin Dynasty, and a truly wealthy family.
As one of the eight contemporary Sima heroes of the Sima clan, Sima Zhuifeng is naturally first-rate in talent and learning, and he also has a mind that is not inferior to others in making contributions. Therefore, with Sima Zhuifeng's background, he came to Yazhou eagerly, striving to make some achievements.
However, the complexity of this state far exceeded Sima Zhuifeng's imagination.
Not to mention other external factors, just the Chu family who was popular in half of the state forced Sima Zhuifeng to be helpless and unable to do anything.
After several years of entangled grudges, the Chu family has become a thorn in Sima Zhuifeng's side and a thorn in his side, and he wishes he could destroy his whole family and then be quick. However, the Chu family, a local snake, was too powerful, leaving Sima Zhuifeng helpless.
After holding in my anger for several years, I finally found an opportunity to vent my anger this time.
"Zhou Liuyun, Bachelor Zhou!" Sima Zhuifeng smiled brightly and was in an extremely happy mood: "You have a huge appetite at Bailu Academy and you actually took a fancy to my position as the prefect. Do you really think that I, Sima, are easy to mess with? ?”
"You have only been back to Yazhou for a few days, and you are colluding with the Ling family. Is it possible that you are still trying to swallow up my position as the prefect and the Chu family's huge family fortune in one go? It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, haha ! ”
"Let's see this time, when I took the fifteen thousand taels of red gold, your Ling family was heartbroken. I killed hundreds of your Ling family's armored private soldiers. How did you Zhou Liuyun feel?" Sima Zhuifeng said with a smile. He picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip slowly: "It's fragrant and meaningful, it's really good tea, it's really good water, it's really good heat!"
Holding the tea cup in both hands, Sima Zhuifeng looked at the several concubines chasing and playing with a smile, and sighed slowly: "The only thing that I can't see through is that you, Zhou Liuyun, eagerly returned to Yazhou, and were the first to find him. Why do you want to serve as Colonel Wang Qi? Does Wang Qi have anything good enough for you to take?"
While I was thinking, there was a loud "boom" and the sound of dragon drums was like thunder. The pond water in the back garden of the prefect's mansion stirred up half a foot of waves without wind, and they were black, white, and red, with bright colors. The big koi carp with a rich body were so frightened that they jumped out of the pond water. Several precious koi carps stuck their heads on the rugged rocks beside the pond, causing their brains to burst and died tragically on the spot.
Several concubines of Sima Zhuifeng were frightened by the sound of the drums and trembled. The green-eyed cat they were holding in their hands jumped up with a strange cry, and sharp claws slashed across their arms. , blood seeped out immediately.
Several beautiful concubines fell down on the moss-stained garden path and looked at Sima Zhuifeng with tears in their eyes.
Sima Zhuifeng was also frightened by the sudden blast of drums, and trembled all over. A red light flashed in his palm, and with a "chi" sound, a cup of fragrant tea and all the tea leaves evaporated instantly, without leaving any residue.
"What, what?" Sima Zhuifeng's slender face was slightly distorted, and he yelled angrily: "What's going on?"
An old man with a skinny face wearing a long black gown quickly came up behind Sima Zhuifeng and respectfully replied: "Master, the news came from earlier, that the subordinate of Chu Tian at the fish stall, named A Que. I beat the dragon drum and said I wanted to report to the official."
The old man rolled his eyelids, and a green and strange light flashed in his deep eyes: "Hey, I heard from the guard at the door that Ah Que kept saying something about killing people. Many people died. Chutian's gold was stolen. Taken away.”
"Chutian's gold was taken away, and many people died?" Sima Zhuifeng was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Li Xiaojuan is worthy of my respect for him. This matter can be handled." Beautiful and neatly done!”
Putting the tea cup in the hands of the pale maid beside him, Sima Zhuifeng suddenly frowned: "What happened? Why did you still stay alive to report to the official? Li Xiaojue was so careless, how could he stay? Live? Huh, it seems that he is quite proud of his favor. I have to give him a good beating. How can I dare to let him take on important responsibilities in the future if he is so sloppy in doing things?"
The old man in black smiled and said nothing.
Sima Zhuifeng patted his robe slowly and said calmly: "That's it, let's go to court. I am also the governor of Yazhou. I should come forward to inquire about this case."
