Black Mountain Outer City, Wei Mansion.
This mansion is situated beside a bustling street, with a bluestone path at the entrance, exquisite carved railings, and glazed tiles sparkling under the sunlight.
As the sunset falls.
Today, after the workday ended, at dusk, Constable Zhong Xu from the Black Mountain County Government Office didn't, as usual, return home to lift stone locks in the courtyard to temper his blood and energy, grind iron sand to harden his skin, and train diligently.
Instead, he took off his blue constable robe, took a bath, changed into a clean and sharp long shirt,
then hurried towards Fulu Street, located adjacent to the Inner City circle, and promptly entered one of the largest merchant mansions, the Wei Mansion.
Only after Constable Zhong Xu was welcomed into the Wei Mansion by the servants, just stepping over the threshold, through the tiger and lion-carved door pillars, not yet proceeding inside.
