"The Injustice Drum?"
In a pavilion within the rear garden of the Punishment Bureau in Jialan City, Gongsun Yan displayed complete indifference and said:
"What about Qiao Zhenhai and the others?"
The guard quickly explained:
"It was Vice Chief Judge Qiao who sent me to invite you."
"Oh?"
At this, a hint of curiosity suddenly flashed across Gongsun Yan's face, and he asked:
"Who struck the drum?"
"Could it be that the princes have caused trouble again?"
The guard shook his head:
"This has nothing to do with the princes; it's someone else."
This finally piqued Gongsun Yan's interest, and he said:
"If even Qiao Zhenhai doesn't dare to take it on, and it's unrelated to the princes."
"Could it be..."
"That the person who struck the drum is our newly appointed Jialan King of the Jialan Empire?"
Upon hearing this, the guard couldn't help but shudder.
His eyes were filled with admiration for Gongsun Yan, and he continued:
"Yes, that's him."
