Outside the main gate of the Imperial Prison, two dark red lanterns swayed in the night.
Zhao Douan stood up from his chair, curiously looking at Ma Yan and other colleagues approaching.
Ma Yan's thin and long face was filled with a complex expression, carrying unresolved worry:
"I heard that Lihua Hall has arrested quite a few people today, so I came to see how things are going?"
He originally did not want to come. But Zhao Douan's actions were too bold and reckless, causing Ma Yan to feel unsettled and have to face it himself.
It was not just him; the faces of the eight heads behind Ma Yan were also complex.
Usually, they are hailed as Living Yamas, a presence that instilled fear among the officials in the Capital, but now they appeared gentle.
Putting aside the fall of the Li Party, the last large-scale arrest was last year, when Junior Guardian Zhao first took the position of Master.
