Upon hearing this, the Emperor nodded with satisfaction and said lazily, "Prime Minister, did you see clearly?"
The Prime Minister pretended to scrutinize the dozen or so men in black, then shook his head, "Your Majesty, I truly do not recognize them."
Before the Emperor could speak, Long Rui's cold voice rang out, "Prime Minister, are you sure you don't recognize them?"
The Prime Minister's mind was racing, ensuring he hadn't left any evidence in Long Rui's hands, and then he firmly shook his head, "I truly do not recognize them."
Finally, he added mockingly, "Prince, where did you find these people? Were they death row inmates brought up from the dungeon? I really wonder what promises you made to them to make them willing to serve you?"
Long Rui's sharp eyes gloomily fixed on the Prime Minister, without saying a word.
