Lin Yu frowned and asked, "What is this?"
The Grand Secretary said calmly, "Back then, an old man carried this token when he went on an inspection tour to the south!"
"What?!" Lin Yu couldn't help but be moved.
The Grand Secretary continued, "The Imperial Inspector, a first-rank official, wields this token and, during his inspection tour, can punish princes and nobles as well as corrupt officials! He has the power to execute first and report later!"
