Before Ma Yan appeared, the scene remained noisy with bursts of exclamations.
As soon as Ma Yan appeared, however, silence fell instantly, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
In the Capital's officialdom, the description of this "King Yanluo" was never positive, even for a Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who was a member of the Three Legal Departments, they all held him in awe.
A man's reputation casts a long shadow like a tree.
If Zhao Douan's reputation was merely poor, then Ma Yan's was truly fearsome.
"Whoosh—"
After a brief silence, the government officers from Lihua Hall spoke first.
Hou Renmeng, Shen Juan, and others relaxed their expressions from tense to relaxed in an instant.
Following the "Lord," the intermittent sounds of salutations also finally made it clear why Zhao Douan was so fearless.
Correspondingly, the hearts of those from the Ministry of Justice trembled.
