Gently reciting the few lines of text engraved on the stone platform, Zhang Xiaoman's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise.
"Lin Hai... is this person Lin Hai?"
He looked carefully at the final name again, seemingly finding it hard to believe.
Lin Hai, even someone like him, who had all but returned his history books to his teacher, knew of him; the man was quite famous.
Zhang Xiaoman remembered that in the bygone Luo Dynasty, there was a celebrated Great General named Lin Hai.
It was said that Lin Hai was formidable, achieving extraordinary military exploits at a young age, appointed as the Great General and titled as a Marquis.
But it seems that no matter the time, no matter the dynasty, loyal officials can never avoid the schemes of villains.
As the stories go, the Emperor at the time, listening to treacherous slander or perhaps wary of his military might, eventually had him executed on a series of trumped-up charges.
