Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1294

Tick-tock, tick-tock!

Raindrops dripped down from the eaves outside the palace gate, forming a series that hit Lin Pingzhi's hat brim.

In front of him were the ministers, who were being escorted by servants with umbrellas, and were about to brave the rain to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Facing this deputy chief eunuch on duty, the ministers and censors standing at the front wished they could tear him to pieces.

Some people even resorted to verbal abuse.

"You castrated dog, listen to me clearly."

"If you do not enter the palace and truthfully report what has happened outside to His Majesty..."

"Watch out, or your dog head might be in danger!"

Faced with their roars and extremely humiliating titles, the guards who were stationed at the palace gate with Lin Pingzhi all took a step forward, filled with righteous indignation.

But Deputy Steward Lin stopped him with a gesture!

Then, still smiling, he glanced at the ministers, whose families had been arrested or whose accomplices had been captured, and answered in a clear and unhurried voice, "Your Majesty is unwell."

"Duke Xu specifically gave these instructions before he left."

"Unless there is an emergency, after the palace is closed, no one shall disturb it."

"There is less than half an hour before the morning court session. Ministers, please wait patiently a little longer."

After he finished speaking, the ministers, who were already extremely anxious, became even more furious.

Everyone knows that without Xu Shan's instructions, those lackeys of the Northern Garrison Command would never have dared to cause such a commotion in the early hours of the morning.

And now, what are you saying...?

Duke Xu, did you give any instructions before you left?

This is clearly a message to them: If my Duke Xu wants to harm you, you so-called high-ranking officials and nobles have no way to complain!

"Did Duke Xu give any instructions to Deputy Steward Lin before he left? What kind of incident qualifies as an emergency?"

Yan Gao, the head of the Censorate, stepped down from the carriage and questioned everyone in public.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers and censors present immediately clasped their hands and said, "Lord Yan!"

"Minister Zhang."

Upon seeing that Zhang Cheng, the Vice Minister of War, had also arrived, they instantly felt reassured.

While bowing, they hurriedly poured out their 'frustration'.

“We arrived here just after midnight, hoping to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.”

"But these eunuchs are guarding the palace gates, and not one of them went in to report."

"..."

Faced with these adults complaining one after another, Lin Pingzhi, with his signature smile always on his face, kept his eyes fixed on Yan Gao and Zhang Cheng, who were striding towards him.

"Dean Yan, what you've said..."

"When Duke Xu left, he did indeed give us some instructions."

He said that as long as the situation in the capital remains unchanged, nothing else matters.

'Hiss.'

Upon hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, many ministers present couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Is the capital city immune to change?

It should be noted that Xu Shan was known as "Xu the Half-Day Master of Beijing".

In other words, Lin Pingzhi's words were saying that as long as Duke Xu remains in the capital, he can still wield considerable power.

Then this is none of your business!

"Duke Xu, you've got a fine dog."

Zhang Cheng, a military man and vice minister of the Ministry of War, glared at Lin Pingzhi, who was speaking in a barrage of words that were like soft knives piercing the heart, and said without any attempt to hide his anger.

Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi replied with an unchanged smile, "Minister Zhang, Liao is right."

After saying this, Lin Pingzhi immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed towards the north where Xu Shan was located, saying, "Duke Xu, you have given our family a second chance at life."

"He told our neutered dog to guard this door."

"Then our family will certainly not dare to neglect it."

"If Duke Xu were to order me to bite someone..."

“Our family doesn’t care about his identity or background.”

"As long as he opens his mouth, he will surely die a fatal blow."

When Lin Pingzhi said this, although he was still smiling, his eyes, as he looked at Zhang Cheng and the others, revealed murderous intent and ruthlessness.

"Bastard thing!"

"How dare you, a neutered dog, speak to my family like that?"

The servant holding the umbrella for Zhang Cheng, upon realizing his master had been insulted, immediately pointed his spear and glared angrily, letting out a low growl.

'bass! ’

'Snapped. '

"Ow."

However, he had barely finished speaking.

Previously, Lin Pingzhi had always been submissive in front of the ministers, but in an instant, he rushed to the Zhang family servant holding the umbrella.

The heavy slap not only sent the other person flying, but also, with a 'crack', crushed the other person's facial bones the moment they landed heavily.

In an instant, his shrill screams suddenly echoed outside the palace gates.

"you……"

Before Zhang Cheng and the others could even speak, Lin Pingzhi immediately said in a cold voice, "No matter how bad my family is, we are still the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department."

“If those high-ranking officials call our family a ‘castrated dog,’ we can just put up with it.”

"But what are you?"

'Snapped. '

After saying this, Lin Ping kicked him away.

As he turned around, facing the furious Zhang Cheng and the others, he smiled and asked Yan Gao, "Dean Yan..."

"Shouldn't a commoner who insults the palace gate guard be punished with twenty strokes of the cane according to palace rules?"

"Lin Pingzhi, you..."

'Snap, snap, snap.'

On the surface, Lin Pingzhi was questioning Yan Gao. But in reality, the sharp-eyed guards had already rushed up to the servant with their canes.

The execution began immediately.

The next second, the servant's blood, mixed with the rain, flowed down to the feet of many ministers.

This also caused them to subconsciously pace backward.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhang Cheng, enraged and humiliated, growled viciously, "Lin Pingzhi, this Minister will not let this matter rest!"

"We are eagerly awaiting Vice Minister Zhang's response."

"Oh, right."

"My ministers, you must protect your official hats!"

"Once it's lost..."

“Our family is the kind that bites anyone they can get their hands on.”

After speaking, Lin Pingzhi bowed politely and retreated to the palace gate.

"Ministers, please continue to wait."

"When the time comes, I will naturally order someone to open the palace gates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Pingzhi turned around.

In that instant, he no longer 'bowed and scraped', but stood tall and proud.

The smile on his face was replaced by a cold, stern expression.

"The Duke of Xu has issued an order."

“Apart from His Majesty and the Celestial Master, who specifically instructed…”

"No one may enter or offer advice before the time when the palace gates are to be opened, for any reason."

"Otherwise, they can be executed on the spot for trespassing in the palace."

"Yes."

'boom. ’

After Lin Pingzhi entered the palace through the side gate, the heavy sound of the side gate slamming shut echoed loudly in the hearts of all the officials present.

They looked at each other, their minds replaying Lin Pingzhi's words...

You must all keep your official hats!

Once lost...

Our family is the kind that bites anyone they can get their hands on.

What does this mean?

Is Xu Shan about to make a move?

At this critical juncture of internal and external troubles, can Your Majesty, or rather the Ming Dynasty, truly withstand such turmoil?
