Inside the Great Ming Enlightenment Temple, in the Buddhist hall.
The sound of the wooden fish continued uninterrupted. Zen Master Zhi Chan seemed to have heard nothing, still knocking on it leisurely, as if none of this concerned him.
The abbot frowned upon seeing his indifference and addressed the fake Liu Yexi, "Who are you? Quiet is to be maintained inside the Buddhist hall!"
"Maintain quiet? Haha, you're blind!"
The fake Liu Yexi took a step forward, revealing a token. "I am an envoy from the Imperial Announcements Bureau, Inspector Liu Yexi. You have been plotting rebellion here for many days, and I have thoroughly investigated it!"
"Don't even think about playing innocent!"
Seeing the fake but authentic-looking token, Mu Yuyan's heart sank.
It seemed that the court officials had not been thoroughly purged, and there were still spies. Otherwise, the style of this token would not have leaked out.
