Why did people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate show up?
What does this mean?
During the more than fifty years of its existence, the Metropolitan Procuratorate always existed in the darkest corner of the imperial court.
I have never walked into the court hall in such a grand manner and walked in front of the emperor and the courtiers like today.
This young-looking tiger-faced man, who is he?
Which member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is he?
Everyone is speculating, and everyone is on pins and needles, because past memories tell everyone present that the appearance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will never bring good things.
Could this be Li Xin's arrangement? Use the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to kill everyone in the court who opposes him?
This is impossible! Even if Li Xin had great courage, he would not dare to do this...
but……
Everyone could only comfort themselves in this way. There was nothing Prince Li Xin did that everyone in the world thought he would not dare to do, but he did it in the end?
"Who just said that the Metropolitan Procuratorate disappeared fifty years ago?"
The cold voice resounded through the hall again, and his young age showed a composure and majesty that was completely inconsistent with his age.
The veteran minister from before was so frightened by these words that he almost lost his balance. He did not move, thinking that he could hide among the ministers and not be discovered.
However, just after that sentence, all the ministers inadvertently took a small step back.
The veteran minister who spoke was instantly exposed in front of this tiger-masked man.
"Did you say that?"
The veteran took a breath and almost knelt down, but he tried his best to control himself and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you...who are you? How can you be allowed in the court..."
Before the old minister finished speaking, a waist plate suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and also in front of everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
One in the tiger's mouth!
The first seat of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the first of the twelve divisions of the capital!
At this moment, Li Xin and Fu Yu's expressions changed. This person's appearance was not in their plan.
Although there had been rumors in the capital that the first Metropolitan Procuratorate had reappeared in Kyoto, they were just rumors after all. After investigation, it was found that this person who had hidden the deepest secrets could always disappear suddenly just when he was about to be discovered.
Li Xin and Fu Yu have always believed that the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be a guy who is aware of current affairs. Knowing the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he does not dare to do anything.
But they never expected that this person would appear in the court today, appearing here so boldly and recklessly! Could it be that he would become the biggest variable today?
The moment this waist card appeared, not only Li Xin and Fu Yu, but also the emperor who had been drowsy on the dragon throne suddenly widened his eyes and sat up slightly!
"My lord, do you realize your mistake now?" Xia Shang raised his badge high and asked again calmly.
The old minister didn't speak. To be precise, he didn't dare to speak. His mouth was trembling and his old face was bloodless.
Xia Shang took back his badge and gently patted the old minister on the shoulder, almost making him fall to the ground.
"Everyone should know by now, right? The Metropolitan Procuratorate will never disappear!"
With a low shout, everyone in the room felt numb. They exchanged glances with each other, and all of them had pale faces. They thought, has the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whom everyone talks about his perversion, come back?
The old minister finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, his legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
"Don't be nervous." Xia Shang said calmly, "Although it is a bit inappropriate for you to say that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is gone. But what you said later is that if you slander the Metropolitan Procuratorate and need to kill thousands of people to set an example, it is indiscriminate killing.
Innocent and abuse of power."
"My lord, this is the Hall of Supreme Harmony you are in! It is the place where ministers discuss politics. It is not your private execution hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Fu Yu walked up to Xia Shang and shouted, "Whenever do you get up?
Are people from the Procuratorate also qualified to point fingers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
"It is true that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not qualified to discuss the world's politics in the court. But if the matter involves the Metropolitan Procuratorate itself, do I, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have the right to interfere?"
"What do you mean?"
"Bring the people up!" Xia Shang shouted outside the palace.
As soon as Xia Shang finished speaking, he saw no one outside the hall, but saw a person flying in from outside the hall, and then fell heavily on the main hall.
When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Jiang Jie, the Minister of Rites who had been taken away earlier.
"This..." Fu Yu's expression changed and he looked back at Li Xin.
When Li Xin saw Jiang Jie, his face darkened. He slowly walked down the steps and walked to Xia Shang, staring at the two dark eye holes on Xia Shang's mask.
Li Xin's aura was fully revealed at this moment. He had an innate imperial aura that no ordinary person could bear.
The surrounding ministers knew that Li Xin was really angry and took a few steps back.
But no one expected that the young leader in front of them could not retreat or make any changes under Li Xin's stern explanation.
Li Xin's brows furrowed even more tightly. After just one meeting, he realized that this boy's appointment as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not due to luck.
"First sir, this man made arrogant remarks in the hall, despised the emperor and the world, and has been ordered to be beheaded. Why did you bring him back to the hall again? Where are the two guards who were responsible for the execution?"
"I have already killed him." Xia Shang said calmly.
"ah?!"
Everyone exclaimed again.
This is definitely the first time someone dares to admit in front of Li Xin that he killed his person!
"My lord, you are so brave!" Li Xin said coldly. Seeing that there was a hint of anger in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and continued, "How dare you kill people at will in this palace?"
"His Royal Highness, the officials did not kill people randomly. Those two people claimed that they were the personal guards of His Highness the Crown Prince. I would like to ask, if they are the personal guards of His Highness the Crown Prince, why are they no longer with the Crown Prince to protect the Crown Prince's safety? Instead, they should stay behind the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
Waiting outside, they dared to lead the court ministers to be executed. Who gave them the courage? Who among the laws of Dahua dared to do such criminal things?
Even if this person despises the imperial court, he should be executed by the guards in the palace. If this person resists, the Royal Forest Army should come forward. I believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will understand the truth, right? It is obvious that these two people have bad intentions.
If you want to put the following crimes on the crown prince, the official will naturally kill them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unseemly to let the crown prince bear the crime of disrespect? The judge solved the problem for the crown prince,
Should Your Highness thank your subordinate?"
"Pah...pah...pah..."
Suddenly there was clear applause in the court hall. Li Xin laughed, clapped his hands gently, and cast his eyes unscrupulously on Xia Shang.
"Good! Good! Good! What a leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Sure enough, he just stopped singing and became a sensation! After all, he is a bird that has been in the same place for three years and has reached the point of soaring into the sky!" (To be continued)
