Seeing this fellow's spiteful appearance, Lin Yi really wanted to praise him as 'a beast in human clothing'.
But alas, in present times, this phrase has become a term of compliment.
Even if this old fellow heard this term being used to describe him, he'd probably only smile and say 'You flatter me'.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has heard that yesterday Your Majesty ordered the arrest of the Right Martial Guard Commander Chen Baicheng. May I ask if this is true?"
