When Xu Shan said this in a disdainful tone, the huge front yard of the Lin Mansion fell into an eerie silence.

Until the noise at the door came in.

"We are the Censors of the Imperial Censorate and have the authority to supervise the Jinyiwei in enforcing the law."

"Let us in now."

"that is!"

"The capital city is not ruled by your Inspection Department alone. How dare you seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion without seeking an imperial decree?"

"All the people living here are royal relatives."

"Even if he is guilty, he should be tried by three judges. It's not you, the Jinyiwei, who are acting arbitrarily."

"Xu Jianzheng, is this how you handle cases? Do you disregard the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

While they were shouting at the top of their lungs, a Jinyiwei rushed in hurriedly to report the matter!

Hearing this, Xu Shan sneered contemptuously: "What was supposed to happen has happened."

"Old Lady Lin, this is the last trump card your Lin family can come up with, right?"

After saying this meaningfully, Xu Shan waved his hand and said, "Let them in."

"Yes!"

Following Xu Shan's order, three or five imperial censors in official uniforms walked in angrily.

Before they could raise an army to question the culprit, Lin Zhiyuan, the legitimate son of Lin Ruopu, saw an opportunity and deliberately shouted at the top of his voice: "There's a fire in the city, and people have died in the Inspection Office..."

"What does this have to do with our Lin family?"

"Xu Shan, don't put all the blame on our Lin family."

"We don't recognize it."

'Snapped. '

But just as he finished speaking, Wang Wushang rushed forward and slapped the guy to the ground.

"Ow."

The shrill screams instantly resounded throughout the venue.

"Zhiyuan (Young Master)..."

The frightened Old Lady Lin quickly ordered people to help him up.

The few imperial censors who had just entered had never expected that the Jinyiwei on the scene would be so rampant!

I don't take them seriously at all.

"You... Lord Xu, your people..."

Without waiting for the leading censor Liu Heng to finish his words, Wang Wushang, with a fierce look on his face, said directly, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you address my master by his name?"

"Your Majesty has personally granted my lord the right to [enter the palace with sword and shoes], [unnamed edict], and [unnamed praises]."

"Ask those old guys, do they dare?"

When saying this, Wang Wushang pointed directly at the imperial censors and spoke without caring about their face at all.

"Xu, Master Xu... your people are too overbearing, aren't they?"

"Then tell me, when have I ever been unruly in handling cases as a Jinyiwei?"

Xu Shan turned his head and questioned in public.

"you……"

"Master Xu, we must know why you, the Jinyiwei, sealed off the Lin Mansion and what case you are investigating?"

When the other censor finished speaking, Xu Shan replied disdainfully: "You don't have a bronze mirror at home, but you haven't peed yet?"

"Did you take a photo before coming here?"

"Is it suitable?"

"Xu, Lord Xu, if you have this attitude, I, this Imperial Censor, will risk my life to rebuke you."

Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled.

The old people who have been with him for a long time all know: When Mr. Shan smiles, life and death are unpredictable.

"What did he say he was going to do?"

"I didn't hear that clearly."

Xu Shan tilted his head and asked Zhang Liansong beside him.

"To answer your Excellency's question, he said he would die for his advice."

Hearing this, Xu Shan replied word by word: "As he wishes!"

"Yes."

'bass! ’

'Sizzle.'

Although they were several meters apart, when Zhang Liansong drew his sword, the force of the sword cut through the censor's neck.

'Plop.'

"what."

This sudden scene scared many people so much that they immediately let out shrill screams.

Then, it fell into an eerie silence again.

"Don't just stand there. Ask them if they want to die!"

“Give them that chance.”

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Zhang Liansong walked towards the imperial censors with a knife in hand.

"you you……"

'Clap. '

Facing the murderous Zhang Liansong, several imperial censors who relied on their "reputation" and status were frightened and subconsciously retreated.

But just as he retreated half a step, he found that his retreat route had been blocked tightly by several Jinyiwei.

"Xu, Xu Shan, you, you killed officials indiscriminately, you took human lives, and you..."

The furious Old Lady Lin hadn't finished her words when Xu Shan turned around and interrupted her, "Indiscriminate killing?"

"I said they were guilty, and tomorrow they will be guilty of a crime beyond reproach. Their death will be a joy to the people!"

"In the past, the Jiangnan gentry controlled public opinion, and the Donglin Party manipulated the government."

"You are confusing right and wrong, calling a horse a deer."

Having said that, Xu Shan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, raised his right arm, and spread out his five fingers.

Through the gaps between his fingers, he gazed at the setting sun. Then, he said, "But what about now?"

"Times have changed!"

"For example, right now, if I say the sky is bright, it must be bright."

"But if I say it's black..."

'boom.'

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shan waved his hand. His domain directly covered everyone's heads!

At this moment, the area where they were was pitch black.

"Then it has to be black."

"Like now."

The darkness not only made everyone panic, but also made them feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts about the evil god in front of them.

Although this darkness only flashed by for a moment, it plunged everyone into despair.

"Old Lady Lin, are you still planning to do what you did before, and find a few Donglin Party censors to argue with me about literary matters?"

"Using death as a warning to escalate the situation and put pressure on His Majesty?"

"I let them in so you, an old man, can see clearly and understand..."

"As long as I think about it, those things you can rely on are nothing."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as Xu Shan finished saying this, Li Yuanfang, who had been searching the backyard, came over with a sullen face.

"Sir, Lin Bo, who secretly commanded the remnants of the East Factory to obtain information from the Inspection Department and set fire to the capital, has hanged himself."

"Ah? Dead? Is there no evidence again?"

"I'm familiar with this trick. Before, Zhu Wusi, Lin Ruoyun, and Lin Ruopu all used it often."

"One of them commands a navy of over a hundred thousand men from Jiujiang, while the other coerces the Jiangnan gentry and the court officials..."

"We are forced to do nothing even though we know they are the mastermind behind this."

After saying this, Xu Shan looked at everyone present and asked, "But what about now?"

"It's the opposite of Tiangang."

"The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside the city are at my disposal. Inside the city, the patrol battalion, the pacification office, and the city defense battalion are all our own."

"We will kill all those who dare to bar their teeth in the court on behalf of Your Majesty."

After he finished saying this, the whole place fell silent.

Xu Shan, on the other hand, sneered and put his arm around Li Yuanfang's shoulder and said, "Do you know what to do now?"

"I don't care how many people die or who specifically died."

"I just want... a list of the remaining members of the East and West Factories and a directory of the remnants of the Donglin Party."

"Also, there's irrefutable evidence that they colluded with Peach Blossom Island Master Huang Yaoshi to massacre the Imperial Guards and Tantric Shamans."
