218. Chapter 218 The old man who came to Minsheng Yamen to report the crime
In the past half month since he was away, something must have happened between her and the emperor, right?
Gu Zixu looked at Shangguan Yu, who was frowning at this moment, and something strange flashed in his eyes.
I wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, I swallowed it back and said, "My Lady, it is not convenient for me to interfere in this kind of matter. I'd better let the Emperor decide what to do. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to Shangguan Yu and left quickly.
"Master Xiang! Master Xiang!"
Shangguan Yu called several times behind him, but couldn't make him stop.
When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, Gu Zixu stopped and turned around to look in the direction of Shangguan Yu. Seeing that Shangguan Yu was turning around and leaving dejectedly, Gu Zixu's brows tightened more and more.
The emperor wants to escape, and you want to escape too, but can you really escape?
Minsheng Yamen——
In the early morning, the sky had just dimly lit up, and the sun had not yet come out. The quiet Minsheng Yamen on the corner of the street was broken by waves of heart-pounding drums.
The sound of drums woke up the yamen who were sleeping soundly in the yamen, but they were so startled that they immediately rolled over from their beds.
When Shangguan Yu established the Minsheng Yamen, he had given instructions that whenever someone made a loud noise, they should be received immediately no matter what time it was.
Normally, people who come to the Yamen to petition or complain usually do so during the opening hours of the Yamen. This is the first time we have encountered such an emergency.
The government servants did not dare to neglect, so they immediately went out and opened the door. At this moment, an old man in his late thirties was struggling to beat the drum standing outside the government office with a drum stick.
Seeing them coming out, without saying a word, he knelt down with a plop, his hands full of vicissitudes of life trembling constantly, "I beg you, the official, to make the decision for the common people, I beg you, the official, to make the decision for the common people..."
The sound of kowtow was deafening and went straight into the hearts of several government officials.
The face of the old man seemed to have gone through a hard journey day and night. The fatigue and vicissitudes of life caused by the hardships along the way made people feel a sense of pity.
"Old man, you get up first. If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk slowly."
The leading yamen servant stepped forward to help the old man up, and said to another yamen servant who was following him:
"Hurry into the palace and invite the Queen."
"Ah? I'm afraid I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Didn't your Majesty already tell her to notify her at any time if anything happens?"
"That's...okay."
The officer nodded awkwardly and headed straight for the palace.
"Old man, please come inside. The Queen will be here soon. If you have any grievances, just tell the Queen and she will definitely make the decision for you."
"Many...thank you sir, thank you sir."
The old man was so excited that he burst into tears and kept thanking the yamen servant. At the same time, Shangguan Yu quickly appeared in the yamen, following the yamen servant who called her.
"The Queen."
The government servant who received the old man was the first to speak out. When he learned that the person in front of him was the current empress, the old man could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart and knelt down to Shangguan Yu with a plop.
"The common people ask the Queen to make the decision, please ask the Queen to make the decision!"
