The blood splashed in the rain curtain was like cinnabar falling on the black and white landscape, floating in the air. The bloody atmosphere quickly dissipated with the wind and rain, leaving only two empty shells wearing silver armor.

There are still many people who are afraid of death in this world. The Minister of Rites who was dragged all the way from the Hall of Supreme Harmony has never seen anyone who dares to kill outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in his life.

And it's so clean and tidy, and it wears a mask that makes people feel chilled in their hearts.

At this moment, Jiang Jie thought he was going to die soon. He was so frightened that water swelled in his crotch and his legs were like sieves.

Fortunately, it was in the rain, so no one noticed his embarrassment.

After a while, Jiang Jie calmed down, thinking that he was going to die anyway, so why should he be afraid?

After thinking about it, I mustered up the courage to ask the two ghost-faced men in front of me: "You... what do you want to do? This is... this is the palace..."

Xia Shang looked at him and thought for a while: "These two people said that you contradicted the prince in the court?"

"So what?"

"So you don't agree with the prince killing the world's literati?"

"How can we condone such an unnatural thing? If this happened in Dahua, wouldn't Dahua become a dynasty that will be reviled by future generations? The emperor will always be known as a coward, and the entire dynasty will be degraded in civil and military affairs.

He is a slanderous minister. The key is such a disregard for human ethics and natural principles... Dahua, Dahua will be finished sooner or later! Although I, Jiang Jie, speak lightly, I will speak out even if I risk my life.

It's a pity...it's a pity that the current emperor has long been old and chaotic, and is unable to preside over the government. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty are discussing that the current emperor has long become the prince's puppet. Such a thing happened in Dahua, it is really sad for the world of Dahua.

!Such a great power...such a great power is hopeless!"

This man spoke with indignation, not knowing whether he was thinking that he was going to die or was obsessed with the official uniform he was wearing. After he finished speaking, he beat his chest and stamped his feet in the rain and burst into tears.

"Who said Dahua can't be saved? Didn't I come to save him?"

Xia Shang looked at him and said calmly.

"Huh?" Jiang Jie said softly and looked at Xia Shang gently.

"Master Jiang, my purpose is the same as yours, and I also want to stop Li Xin from coming."

Jiang Jie smiled bitterly: "Who are you? Do you know that Li Xin has the final say in the court now. Anyone who is at odds with him, no matter who the minister is, will be executed directly by me. Full

Even if there were loyal ministers in the civil and military affairs of the court, due to Li Xin's power, many people dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out."

"So what? Isn't your lord the one who said the final words? As long as there is one person in the world who dares to speak out, Li Xin will not be able to sit back and relax. As for my identity... I don't know if your lord has ever heard that there used to be a department in the capital.

Everyone will be wearing masks."

Jiang Jie was stunned and muttered: "Everyone will wear a mask..."

Suddenly, Jiang Jie seemed to have thought of something, and said in surprise: "You are... you are..."

Xia Shang made a silent gesture: "Identity is not important, now I need Mr. Jiang's help for the next favor."

"What's the rush?"

"This job will be very dangerous. Mr. Jiang needs to be determined to die. Mr. Jiang, do you dare?"

When Jiang Jie heard this, he stood up straight from the ground in anger, opened his arms, turned around in a circle, and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha... Look at me looking like a lost dog! I have reached this point, let me ask you.

Is there anything else I dare not do? Even if you want to take Jiang Jie’s head right away, as long as you say it, it doesn’t matter.”

…

At this time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony——

"emperor!"

"Your Majesty! Please say something!"

After the Minister of Rites was taken out of the palace, more than half of the ministers in the court finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out one after another.

The entire hall was in chaos, and the noise was like a market outside.

But the emperor always maintained a confused look, turning a blind eye to the ministers throughout the dynasty, not even bothering to raise his eyelids.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Prime Minister Fu Yu suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

The Prime Minister's roar was quite intimidating, and only then did everyone in the court calm down.

"This Hall of Supreme Harmony is a solemn and solemn place, how can it be a place for you and others to make noises and noises? You are all important officials of the imperial court, but you are arguing because of a young man who speaks arrogantly and despises the imperial court. Just wait and see

How do you behave like this?

Everyone, those people are sinners with distinctive characteristics, the root of trouble in the world. It’s unclear whether they are scholars or not. Why are you so nervous? The emperor only agreed to behead those sinners as a warning to others. But he never said that.

Abandon the civil service. You know, who are those people slandering? It’s the Metropolitan Procuratorate! It’s the most core department of the imperial court. Its importance is comparable to that of the Three Officials and the Six Ministries. To slander the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to slander the imperial court.”

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is a department that disappeared fifty years ago. Even if someone slanders it, thousands of people need to be killed to make an example? This is an indiscriminate killing of innocent people and an abuse of power!" Among the ministers,

Someone shouted.

On the steps, Li Xin looked gloomy, glanced in the direction of the conversation, and was about to say something.

But at this moment, a voice came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Who said that the Metropolitan Procuratorate disappeared fifty years ago?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the court was stunned, and their eyes turned to the door of Taihe Hall.

I saw a young man covered in water striding in.

No one knew him, but his behavior was really surprising. No one dared to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a grand manner without being summoned.

Such people should have been stopped directly outside the palace.

But the strange thing is that this person walked in without any obstruction.

The official standing closest to the door looked out and took a breath of cold air.

The dozen or so elite guards at the door had all collapsed to the ground and made no movement at all.

"Who are you? Stop him quickly!" someone shouted.

But at the same time, someone shouted: "Look at his mask!"

Some people had seen his mask before, but no one thought much about it, thinking it was just a thief who didn't want to show his face.

But someone emphasized it so deliberately, and everyone realized that this mask was by no means simple, it had a deeper meaning!

Although most people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty have forgotten the meaning of masks, there are always people who still remember it, and there are always people who will not forget the terror that these masks once brought to them.

"Yes...yes...he is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

There was an uproar in the court, and the ministers of the older generation took a deep breath.

This mask is the symbol of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

It was the butcher's knife that once terrorized the world and was only in the hands of the emperor!
