After coming to Xue's mansion, Zhou Tong spoke in a tone like an elder, especially when he taught Madam Wei a lesson.
Standing in Xue's mansion, he looked relaxed and seemed to be very familiar with this place, because he had indeed been here many times, like an elder who returned from doing business for many years.
In short, it is easy to give people a feeling that this place is like Zhou Tong's home.
This made people very angry, because as we all know, the owner of the Xue Mansion was poisoned ruthlessly and shamelessly by him.
The steward of Xue's house angrily stepped forward with a broom, trying to snatch the young lady from the hands of those officials, but was kicked to the ground mercilessly.
The servant woman screamed in panic and ran to the mansion.
People from the Xue family rushed over, looked at the scene, and asked with a trembling voice: "Zhou Tong, what exactly do you want to do!"
Zhou Tong stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the green plants in the house in front of him, many memories gradually flashed in his mind, and he felt a lot of emotion.
In fact, he didn't know why he came here and what he wanted to do. It wasn't until he actually came here that he realized that he really just wanted to see that person for the last time.
He looked at Mrs. Xue and said slowly, "I'll burn the incense and leave."
Mrs. Xue's voice trembled slightly, but her expression was extremely firm: "You know this is impossible."
Zhou Tong said indifferently: "This is not something you can decide."
The conspiracy a few days ago, the poison in the medicine bowl, and the corpse exposed outside the official road, all these things were related to Xue's house, and they had nothing to do with it.
The people in Xue's mansion can't decide their own life and death, honor or disgrace, they can only accept it desperately or wait to be rescued.
The Xue Mansion held a sacrifice today, and no one dared to come, so who would come to save the helplessness and despair here
"Please give way."
A voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Tong's body froze slightly.
All the officials from the Cleaning Department turned their heads and looked back, thinking that someone is actually here
"What's the matter with you people, what are you doing in front of other people's doors?"
A voice from a girl sounded immediately.
Zhou Tong turned around slowly, looked out the door, his eyes narrowed.
He wanted to hide his true emotions, but also because the picture outside the door made him feel a little dazzling.
There are many young people on the street.
Those people were male and female, some had bright eyes, some were simple and honest, some looked proud, and some looked tense, but they all had one characteristic, that is, they were very young and full of vigor.
Even if there are all kinds of emotions and temperaments, the vitality cannot be concealed.
These vigor made him feel a little dazzling, even aching, or it was because he was old.
In Kyoto, the place with the most youth and vigor is the Ivy Sixth Courtyard.
The situation has been tense recently, and the Sixth Academy of the Ivy League has closed its doors, with one exception, that is the Orthodox Academy.
Those young men were students of the Orthodox Academy.
Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu stood at the front of the crowd.
Looking at this scene, the officials of the Cleaning Department and the eyeliners representing various forces on the street were shocked and speechless.
Chen Changsheng really came.
He came to worship Xue Xingchuan.
He came to slap Zhou Tong and the court in the face.
Chen Changsheng walked towards Xue's mansion, as if he didn't see the officials from the Cleansing Department blocking him.
The young men of the Orthodox Academy followed him.
Those officials were blocking the door of Xue's house. If they didn't give way, the two sides would easily collide.
Collisions tend to cause friction.
Increased friction is combat.
Battle escalation is war.
Will the situation in Kyoto that was just calm become turbulent again
Zhou Tong didn't speak, so the officials from the Cleaning Department didn't intend to step aside.
The students of the Orthodox Academy did not intend to stop, because Chen Changsheng was still walking forward.
Zhou Tong did not expect that Chen Changsheng would suddenly change his mind and come to Xue's mansion, but so what
At least half of the secret force of the Great Zhou court is in his hands, which is a very terrifying force.
Chen Changsheng's status is very high now, but he doesn't have much power, just like now, standing behind him are only some ordinary students from the Orthodox Academy.
Before he ascended the Pope, he could not mobilize the power of the state religion.
Just relying on the Orthodox Academy, how much storm can it cause in the capital
But... Zhou Tong frowned.
What if the calculation is wrong? What if there is an accident? What if those lords wanted to take action against Chen Changsheng
Just when he was thinking about these things, the accident had come.
The students of the Orthodox Academy met the officials of the Cleansing Department, and then they collided, and then they scolded each other as a matter of course.
Choke! The sound of the cold knife being unsheathed was very clear in front of Xue's house, as if it wanted to cut off the autumn wind.
The officials of the Clean and Officials Department did not attack first, and some people drew their knives out of their sheaths more to deter those young people.
They don't know that those young people, especially those girls among them, have been waiting for this opportunity.
"Stop!" Zhou Tong said in a deep voice.
Naturally, those young people would not listen to him.
The officials of the Clean and Officials Department wanted to listen to him, but there was no way to listen to him again.
More than ten clear chimes resounded through the long street.
Countless clear lights rise vertically and horizontally in the autumn, which is poignant and moving.
It was an extremely pure sword intent, and an exquisite and unparalleled coordination.
The cold sword intent wove into an invisible net and sprayed towards the officials in front of the Xue residence.
Zhou Tong himself, when encountering these sword intents, could only choose to avoid them temporarily, let alone those officials.
The sound of muffled groans was heard continuously, and blood shot out. More than a dozen officials of the Cleaning Department were directly cut by those swords, covered in blood, and then were blown away.
In just an instant, the stone lions on both sides of Xue Mansion's main entrance were stained red with blood. There were more than ten bloody people on the street, and the scene looked very bloody.
No one could stand in front of the Xue residence, and a large open space appeared.
Chen Changsheng walked in.
Ye Xiaolian and more than a dozen senior sisters retracted their swords at the same time, stood behind him, and entered the mansion.
Chen Changsheng walked up to Zhou Tong.
There was a sound of metal rubbing against each other, and the sound of a crossbow being wound up.
The situation was tense, but Zhou Tong's expression was calm.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "The future Pope of my Great Zhou Dynasty actually depends on the protection of the little girls from the Saintess Peak. It would be a bit embarrassing to spread the word."
To be able to severely injure more than a dozen experts in the Qing Dynasty in such a short period of time is naturally not the strength of the students of the Orthodox Academy, but the world-famous Nanxizhai Sword Formation.
Chen Changsheng didn't speak, it was Ye Xiaolian who spoke.
"You court officials, you can't even beat us little girls, that's a real embarrassment."
Zhou Tong didn't care, even if Chen Changsheng said it himself, no matter how humiliating it was, he could bear it.
Because he thought he was very mature, ripe to the point of rotten, with rotten flesh everywhere under his blood-colored official robe, and he was never afraid of being polluted by others.
Before His Majesty the Pope returns to Xinghai, he will not give Chen Changsheng any chance or excuse.
Although he wasn't afraid of Chen Changsheng, just as the vigor made him feel a little glaring, for the same reason, he was unwilling to fight bloody sex with these young people.
Again, he is a very mature minister of power and a very successful treacherous minister.
However, the next two sentences Chen Changsheng said made it impossible for him to maintain silence and peace of mind.
Chen Changsheng didn't deliberately want to humiliate him, but really wanted to know the answer.
That kind of calmness and earnestness made Zhou Tong feel that his soul could no longer be seen by others.
Because he couldn't answer Chen Changsheng's question.
Chen Changsheng said: "After I came to the capital, I often heard people say that if you die, only Xue Xingchuan will collect your body."
This is a widely spread saying in mainland China. Zhou Tong heard it more than once, and his eyes narrowed into a cold line.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked earnestly, "Now that he was killed by you, who will collect your body after you die?"
This is a very simple question.
Only simple inferences are needed to draw conclusions.
Zhou Tong couldn't answer.
Because he didn't want that to happen.
No one wants to have that ending.
— There is no place to die.
