The official office of the Qing Dynasty is located in the main lane of Beibingma Sizheng.
It is said to be an alley, but it is actually a very spacious straight street, which can accommodate two carriages running side by side.
At this time, there were also two carriages in the alley, parked one behind the other, there was no one in the car, but many people came from outside the alley, and as the news spread, I believe more people would appear later.
Those people outside the alley are the eyeliners of various forces in the capital. They only dare to look at the mansion from a distance at the entrance of the alley, and dare not approach it.
The mansion looked ordinary, without any gloomy feeling, but there was no pedestrian in the alley under the stone steps.
Standing in front of the gate of that mansion, Chen Changsheng took out the name card and handed it to an official, his expression and movements seemed a bit stiff.
This is the first time he handed out his name card for an official visit.
He had never done anything like this before, so he was a little nervous. Of course, the root cause of the tension is the mansion itself, not to mention him, Xuanyuan Po's breathing is also very heavy, even Tang Thirty-Six, who is usually fearless, is very silent at this time - in fact, when The carriage passed Shifangzi Main Street and turned into Beibingma Sizheng Lane. After confirming the destination of Chen Changsheng's trip, he did not speak again.
This mansion is the official office of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the residence of Zhou Tong, which is also the legendary Zhou Prison.
For many people, especially for the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this mansion is the most eerie place in the entire continent, even scarier than the Old Snow City in the Demon Realm.
Because Xuelao City was too far away, Zhou Prison was by his side.
The reason why this mansion is eerie is of course because of the big man who lives in it.
Zhou Tong's name can stop children from crying at night. This is not some literary description, but something that actually happened.
In addition, there have been many similar stories. According to legend, decades ago, when the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites drank too much wine in a certain brothel, he wanted to forcibly force a certain well-known nobleman to spend the night. Just as he was about to succeed, he suddenly heard someone at the door There was a shout from outside that Zhou Tong came, and the son of the Shangshu family was so frightened that he lost control on the spot, and he could no longer do anything.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Tong is a good person who is willing to help the people of Kyoto educate their children and save women in distress. It only shows how terrifying his name is in people's minds.
As everyone knows, Zhou Tong is a tyrannical and cruel official, a sinister and evil villain, who has killed countless innocent people and tough officials.
If we say that because Su Li had killed too many people with his sword, he became the target of many people who wanted to kill him. Then, everyone in the world wanted to kill Zhou Tong, even the officials in his camp sometimes wished for him to die quickly. Sometimes, some people even think that God's presence of a person like Zhou Tong is a kind of punishment to the world.
According to the general development of the story, a person like Zhou Tong can only gain momentum for a while at most. He should have been executed by the hero Ling Chi long ago, or turned into a cloud of smoke by an expert outside the world, but he didn't.
Because he is a high-ranking minister in the Great Zhou Dynasty, protected by countless master soldiers, and he himself is a strong man in the Star Gathering Realm. Most importantly, he is the most trusted dog of the Holy Empress.
There are countless people in the world who oppose the Tianhai Holy Empress' ruling, about 70% of them are because of her female body, and the remaining 30% are basically because of the evil things that Zhou Tong has done. Because no one is a fool, no matter how stupid the people are, after so many years, they should be able to see that Zhou Tong's tyranny and evil are actually the will of the Holy Empress.
The Holy Empress has ruled the mainland for more than 200 years, and her ruling methods are perfect, but there are still countless opponents.
She knew very well that as a king, she couldn't just be gentle, so she needed a vicious dog and a sharp knife to bite and chop those who opposed her secretly.
On a deeper level, she needs someone to realize her evil will.
This person is Zhou Tong.
He perfectly meets the requirements of the Holy Empress.
He doesn't have any childhood shadows, no interest entanglement, no last resort, he just likes to torture and abuse people in the name of the laws of the Great Zhou.
In this sense, Zhou Tong is actually a very pure person.
He is a pure villain.

Chen Changsheng came to the official office of the Qing Dynasty today because he wanted to see Zhou Tong.
From Xining Town to the capital, he had heard too many things about Zhou Tong, so he was inevitably a little nervous, until he pinched the thing in his sleeve, and he felt a little better.
He was led into the mansion by the officials of the Clean Officials Department. He did not expect that this extremely eerie mansion, which was rumored to be so eerie, was actually so quiet and beautiful.
They were taken to the deepest courtyard.
The yard is not big, and there are two crabapple trees, which should be quite old. The tops of the trees have already surpassed the courtyard wall, and there are still some pink flowers on them.
Xuanyuan Po turned his head and looked around nervously.
Tang Thirty-Six raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Changsheng was recalling the buildings and environments he had seen along the way, trying to figure out where Zhexiu was imprisoned.
His current realm is the peak of Tongyou, and he can be regarded as a master in the ordinary Zongmen Mountain School in the world. Although he can't interact with heaven and earth, he already has some intuition in this area, especially After following Su Li to learn the Wisdom Sword. But this seemingly ordinary mansion obviously has formations far beyond his current state, not to mention finding the place where Zhexiu was imprisoned, the more he thought about it, he found that he had even forgotten the way he came in.
Just at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Tongyou crossed the border and won the star gathering. This is the first time in ten years. It will definitely shock the entire continent. At this time, you are in high spirits and your sword intent is magnificent. You drove straight into Beibingma Sizheng Lane. From the perspective of military tactics, it is very good. Single Isn’t riding through barriers a kind of marching formation? It’s just that I’ve never heard of you being good at this, and now that I think about it, Su Li should have taught you on the road.”
The voice was very calm and ordinary, but for some reason, hearing this person's voice, Chen Changsheng and the others seemed to see a sea of blood in front of their eyes.
In the sea of blood, countless women and children were crying in despair, gradually sinking.
Chen Changsheng knew that this was an illusion, so he wasn't nervous, although he didn't understand that the other party wanted to create such a scene for him to see.
With a slight movement of his consciousness, like a ray of breeze, he woke up and looked at a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.
The middle-aged man is naturally Zhou Tong.
His face was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for many years, his expression was calm, like a teacher in a village villa, his lips were extremely thin, and he looked extraordinarily cold.
He was wearing an official robe, but he didn't have a trace of official authority, only a strong smell of blood.
