Chapter 493 Decided to Beat the Drum
Chapter 493 Decided to Beat the Drum
After an incense stick, Jiang Zhitong, who had learned all the causes and consequences, stood up angrily and swept away the dishes in front of him. The exquisite porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Jiang Zhitong rarely had such angry moments. At this moment, his face was excited and his eyes were wide open, "How dare they, how dare they!" For his own selfish desires, he not only harmed so many innocent people, but also forced the third-rank official to die unjustly! It's simply insane! Zheng looked at the confession in her hand and was also very angry. "Although I didn't want to believe that your father would do that at the beginning, I thought that the court had already verified it, and I just thought that maybe he was confused for a while, but I never thought that there was such a secret!" "How desperate Brother Gu must have been at that time. He was clearly wronged, but he could only endure everything and die. He was obviously ambitious and dedicated to serving the country, but..." Jiang Zhitong's voice trembled violently, his eyes were red, and he spoke word by word. “But he can only go on the road with a stigma amid the misunderstanding and curses of the people!” Seeing that Jiang Zhitong began to tremble all over, Zheng quickly reached out to support him. "Master, please take care of yourself!" Jiang Zhitong took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Suining, "Suining, I am sorry to your father. We have known each other for many years, and I have received his favors. Although our identities were different later, I always regarded him as a close friend in my heart. But after hearing about what happened back then, I actually believed the so-called truth found out by the court. I am really ashamed of him!" "Father, please don't think so. If you hadn't seen the evidence with your own eyes, who would have believed that what happened back then was not what the court announced? Even I never thought that there were such inside stories. What's more, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be displaced and I don't know if I could still be alive in this world. If my father knew about this in the afterlife, he would definitely be very grateful and glad that he had become friends with you." Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Zhitong and Zheng, her eyes filled with guilt. As she finished speaking, she knelt down to the two of them. "Sui Ning has been taken care of by my parents for many years. I should have put the Jiang family first and repayed them. But facing these evidences, I really can't watch the truth of the past continue to remain silent, so I want to reveal everything, but doing so may implicate the Jiang family. I hope my parents will forgive me!" "Sui Ning, good child, get up!" Jiang Zhitong said quickly. Zheng also hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Sui Ning up, "Sui Ning, your father and I understand that as a daughter, since we have obtained the evidence, how can we watch our father continue to be wronged? No matter what you do, we support you." "Mother..." Jiang Sui Ning's heart ached. Although she also thought that her parents should support her, she couldn't help but be moved when she heard these words in person. "Child, don't be afraid. We have obtained these evidences and will definitely be able to clear your father's grievances!" Zheng held Jiang Sui Ning's hand and comforted him. Jiang Suining nodded, "Thank you, mother." "Suining, since the original incident was a frame-up, then of course we have to uncover the truth, but this may not be so easy, after all, it involves so many court officials, and even the third prince. Have you thought about what to do next?" Jiang Zhitong temporarily suppressed his emotions and spoke after thinking seriously. "Yes, this matter is definitely not that easy." Zheng also spoke, and then said, "However, according to what Suining just said, Shen Yanxi and the Minister of Justice have already known about this matter. With their help, the matter of filing a complaint..." "I don't want to go through Shen Yanxi and them for this matter." Jiang Suining shook his head and interrupted Zheng's words, "Father, mother, I have thought about it. I will go to knock on the drum to file a complaint." Jiang Zhitong and Zheng were both stunned. "Suining, knocking on the drum to file a complaint is not a trivial matter. From the beginning, this matter has been so big. Those people behind the scenes know your identity. What if they attack you?" Jiang Zhitong frowned. Looking at the contents written in the confession, those people are so crazy that there is nothing they can't do. "That's right, Sui Ning, I heard that the last time the Dengwen Drum was sounded was a few years ago, and the person who complained was somehow thrown into prison and locked up for several months. It seems that even the official who sent him to the imperial city was implicated and dismissed. Since then, the Dengwen Drum has become a decoration, and no one dares to knock it anymore." "But what I want is to make this matter big, so big that people in the streets and alleys talk about it, so big that the court can't make a big deal out of it, and so big that those behind the scenes have nowhere to hide. As for what will happen after the Dengwen Drum is sounded, I have thought it through, and I am not afraid." On the way back, she did hesitate. But if she gave up because of her concerns, I am afraid that every time she thinks about it in the future, she will resent her cowardice. Jiang Sui Ning's eyes were bright, and she continued before Zheng and Jiang Zhitong spoke. "Father and mother, now, the only thing I am afraid of is that this matter will implicate the Jiang family. So, before that, I hope that father and mother can temporarily sever ties with me, so as to avoid..." "What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Zhitong immediately interrupted Jiang Suining, "You are the daughter of my Jiang family, how can this relationship be severed!" "Only temporarily, so that I can..." "Not even temporarily." Jiang Zhitong was firm, "Before you secretly investigated the truth, we knew nothing and could not help you. Now we will never sever ties with you at this juncture and abandon you. . "Your father is right. You are a member of the Jiang family. You are the daughter of your father and me. Even if you are not our biological child, you are the same as Mu Shi in our hearts. Don't say that what you are going to do now is to seek justice for your father. It is reasonable. Even if you have done something wrong, your father and I will not abandon you." "And me!" Jiang Mushi took two steps forward and walked to Jiang Suining's side. "Sister, we are a family. Naturally, we will face it together. There is no reason to abandon you at this time!" "But..." "You are not allowed to abandon us!" Jiang Mushi added. Jiang Suining looked at the three people in silence. After a long time, she finally couldn't help crying. "Thank you, father, mother." "And me, and me!" Jiang Mushi immediately pointed at himself. Jiang Suining burst into laughter, "Thank you too, Mu Shi." Jiang Mushi smiled, but Zheng still frowned and looked at Jiang Suining worriedly. "Suining, there is one more thing. If you want to knock on the drum, what about your wedding?"
