Lin Yi and Li Wenbo were drinking in a Xicheng restaurant, sitting by the window.
There are many dragon guards protecting him secretly.
Li Wenbo was drunk and told stories about his childhood sweetheart and his cousin, but Lin Yi was absent-minded and kept staring at an old woman on the street.
The old woman is not from the capital.
She politely asked for directions, wanting to know the direction to the imperial city and the palace.
But no one stopped to tell her the direction. Even many scholars turned a blind eye and even looked at her with contempt.
"Wenbo..."
Lin Yi's eyes fell on the old woman and said to Li Wenbo: "I'll go down there!"
Lin Yi stood up and walked down the restaurant and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
Secretly, many plainclothes dragon guards were extremely nervous. Under the blank eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter, they dropped their money and followed them.
Pretend to be a passerby.
"???"
Li Wenbo didn't know what Lin Yi was going to do, so he raised his head and looked downstairs, and soon discovered...
Lin was also stopped by an old woman.
"My lord, if you would be kind, could you tell me which direction the palace is? I..."
The old woman asked almost mechanically. She thought that Lin Yi would walk away like everyone else, but she found that Lin Yi not only did not leave, but walked towards her.
Then she seemed to realize something, her face turned pale, she quickly lowered her head, turned around and left, her steps getting faster and faster.
'For outsiders, come to Beijing and ask where the palace is. There must be something going on here...'
'He's scared because he's worried that I might catch him! '
Lin Yi vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly chased after the old woman. In order to prevent the old woman from being overly emotional, he chose to stay at a distance and said as softly as possible: "Don't be afraid, old man, are you going to the palace? I can take you there!" "
Maybe the wording was wrong, which made it sound like she had bad intentions, so the old woman walked even more hastily.
"No... no, thank you, sir."
The old woman did not dare to raise her head and look Lin Yi in the eyes. She had finally reached the capital and she must not be taken back.
She heard her son say it.
There are people in the capital who specialize in arresting people who come to Beijing to complain, and the purpose must not be revealed.
"Old man, if I want to arrest you, it won't be difficult. You can try to believe me!"
Lin also had a strong intuition that the old woman must be burdened with some serious injustice. Now that he had encountered it, he could not just sit back and watch.
Besides...
This old woman seemed to want to see Emperor Dayan.
If it were before the imperial meeting, the old woman would never see the emperor, because someone would stop her from beating the imperial drum.
But now...she can.
The old woman's pace gradually slowed down, and Lin Yi also kept a certain distance from her.
The old woman gradually let down her guard and looked at Lin Yida: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness. Just tell me which direction the palace is. I can go there by myself!"
Lin Yi pointed in the direction of the palace and said insinuatingly: "This is the West City, which is quite far away from the palace. Why do you want to go to the palace? It is heavily guarded there and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close..."
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't look like a treacherous person, the old woman gradually relaxed, gritted her teeth and said, "I... I'm going to beat the imperial drum!"
'Sure enough, I guessed it right! '
Lin Yi looked at the old woman and said seriously: "Okay, I'll take you there!"
"Need not!"
"I'm an errand in the capital, maybe I can help you!"
The old woman looked at Lin Yi blankly, her eyes instantly turned red, and she choked with sobs: "Thank you, sir!"
What she felt in the capital was a cold and impersonal feeling. She was worried about her son.
But no one was willing to help her.
In fact, she didn't need others to do anything for her, she just needed to tell him the direction of the palace.
"I have no repayment for your great kindness. If I can go back alive, I will pray for you every day!"
The old woman bowed to Lin Yi and said, "Since your Excellency is on duty in the capital, I don't want to implicate you. You are a good official and should not be involved in the quagmire I am in!"
"Sir, just tell me the direction. No matter how far it is... I'm not afraid!"
The old woman's eyes were persistent, and it was not too far for her to come to the capital from a place as far away as Jintian Mansion.
What's more, we are already in the capital.
Lin Yi could probably analyze it based on the information revealed by the old woman... This is not a trivial matter.
What kind of things can make the old woman worry about herself as an official in the capital?
The power behind this must be quite large.
Officials from the capital may also be involved.
What's even more valuable is that even though the old woman is burdened with grievances and may have despaired of the world, she still doesn't want to implicate anyone.
In response to the old woman's feelings, Lin Yi decided to send her to see Emperor Dayan to tell her about the injustice she had suffered.
"good!"
Lin Yi pointed in the direction of the imperial palace and said to the old woman: "If you go in the direction I pointed, you will enter the imperial city. No one will stop you in the imperial city. Just follow the main road of the imperial city and you will enter." Go directly to the main entrance of the palace. There is an imperial drum not far from the main entrance of the palace. If you beat it, you will be able to see the current Holy Emperor!"
thump!
The old woman burst into tears and knelt down to Lin Yi and said, "I thank you, sir, and please tell me your name. I will never forget your great kindness!"
"Lin Yi!"
Lin Yi helped the old woman up and said, "Go and knock!"
The Dayan Imperial Drum has never sounded before. This blow will break the skulls of those demons and monsters!
Let them be stunned!
The old woman thanked Lin Yi, gritted her teeth and walked in the direction Lin Yi pointed, slightly raising her head to look at the scorching sun in the sky.
She seemed to be on a pilgrimage.
To her.
Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and this is the pilgrimage.
Lin Yi watched the old woman leave, and raised his fingers towards the sneaky people not far away.
The plainclothes dragon guards were stunned for a moment, then walked over with dry smiles on their faces and said, "How did Academician Lin know we were here?"
"From the moment I left Zhang's house, to the restaurant, and then left the restaurant again, you all followed me. How could I not know that you were there?"
Lin Yi actually knew for a long time that there was a dragon guard secretly protecting him.
Several dragon guards scratched their heads in embarrassment.
Lin Yi did not waste time and ordered: "Immediately prepare a carriage to take me into the palace. At the same time, send someone to secretly escort the old woman just now into the imperial city. If anyone blocks her, take her immediately!"
"By the way, I'll inform Li Wenbo, the general of Longwei General, who is in the restaurant, and ask him to go back first!"
"yes!"
The plainclothes Long Guards took the order and immediately split up. One person went to find the carriage, while the other person went to the restaurant to notify Li Wenbo.
Several others went to ask someone to secretly escort the old woman into the imperial city.
soon.
A dragon guard drove a Zhenfusi carriage and said: "Scholar Lin, Master Yan has ordered that all your requests must be met. Come up!"
"Walk!"
Lin Yi boarded the carriage and drove directly towards the imperial city, clenching his fists.
A case involving Song Tiejun.
A case of beating the imperial drum.
Dayan Weekly will definitely achieve great success, and this is just the beginning... Who said that all literary people are ants?
