After speaking, he did not stop and charged towards the Imperial Court of Supervision.
The gatekeeper saw a group of Living Yama swarming menacingly and knew he could not stop them, so he turned to run back to report.
Zhao Douan paid no heed and led the crowd inside.
The inner courtyard of the Imperial Court of Supervision had many yards, with various government offices scattered around.
The office where the Imperial Censor worked, called the "Duty Room," was easy to locate. Zhao Douan had a clear goal and did not take detours, heading straight for it.
Along the way, green-robed imperial censors, caught off guard, stared in astonishment.
Some came out from their rooms, some poked their heads out from windows, and some stood in the corridors, discussing fervently.
