Tang Ji held the Star Order in his hand and came in easily. However, he wandered around the inner city and couldn't find where the Star Division was. In the end, he caught two little palace ladies and found the location after asking around.
At this time, outside the Star Department, two soldiers guarding Tang Ji checked his token and let him in.
There is a big difference between the Xingchen Department and the Ministry of Industry Yamen. There are no red walls, gold tiles, or too many decorations. The overall building is based on black. Even the stone slabs under your feet are dark gray. There is an echo when you step on them, as if you were stepping on them.
On a piece of iron sheet, a road spreads forward with no end in sight. There are rows of regular buildings on both sides. Each building is surrounded by water. The only passage is a small arch bridge.
Tang Ji only felt that it was a bit eerie inside. Although he could also see human figures, he felt that everyone was like a machine, with no expression on their faces, busy with their own things. Just when he was thinking about whether to go back the same way, he suddenly
A delicate hand suddenly patted his shoulder, making Tang Ji tremble all over.
The short man wearing a black embroidered robe smiled calmly: "Master Tang, don't be nervous, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Tang Ji sighed, turned around slowly, glanced at the man in front of him, and asked, "You, do you know me?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Tang has been in the limelight recently. It's hard not to recognize him. Let me introduce myself. My name is Hong Li, the chief envoy of the Star Division." Hong Li replied with a smile on his face.
"I've met you, sir." Tang Ji still remembered Li Yu's words. The chief envoy was a fourth-grade official, above him as the chief envoy. But these were the secrets of the Star Division. He couldn't sell Li Yu, so he didn't call himself "
"Resigned to official position".
Hong Li nodded, took Tang Ji to the stone fence on the roadside, looked at the river in front of him, and said: "Master Tang also saw it, everyone in the Xingchen Division is very busy, and I am not
How much time? Let’s make a long story short. The Star Guards belong to the Forbidden Army. Mr. Tang is smart and intelligent. Your Majesty will obviously not let you accompany rough guys like us wielding swords and guns. The reason why Mr. Tang is recruited into the Star Guards is for your safety.
From now on, as you have the status of chief envoy, outsiders will not dare to touch you at will. Mr. Tang will only be responsible for household affairs from now on."
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Li Yu was right. He just had a false position in the Star Guard.
Hong Li twisted his neck twice and continued to explain: "However, Mr. Tang can still exercise the rights of the Star Guard Chief Envoy, including freely entering the inner city, giving orders to the Star Guard officers, etc. If you are free, you can come to the office at any time.
Sit in the middle..."
Just at this moment, a soldier walked over quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, Hong Li waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop, and then said what he had just finished saying: "However, I suggest Mr. Tang not to wander around, because some scenes are too brutal, and I am afraid that Mr. Tang will not be able to bear it.
If you still have something to do, please take a step forward, Mr. Tang, please help yourself."
"Sir, walk slowly." Tang Ji cupped his hands and watched the other person go away, and then curled his lips. Some scenes were too cruel? I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it. He was someone who could watch a horror movie with a quilt in the middle of the night.
Who are you trying to scare?
Immediately, Tang Ji stepped onto the stone arch bridge, walked into the building in front of him and walked around, but found that no one took him seriously, so he had to turn around and leave. In his eyes, the central avenue went all the way to the end, and the buildings behind were all...
They are bungalows, not surrounded by water, but they are stacked together and look a bit crowded.
Suddenly, a roar came from the side room, causing Tang Ji to look over.
He walked outside the house and found that the room was actually equipped with an iron door. When he looked in through the small window on the door, his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw that the light in the room was not very good, and the dust was clearly visible in the light reflected from the skylight. A thick man covered in blood was tied with iron chains, with only a bunch of hair left on his head, and his bare scalp was covered with bright red.
He had whip marks on his face, his face was very ferocious, and he looked at the man in front of him with his teeth bared.
The person standing opposite this man was not anyone else, but Hong Li, who had been chatting and laughing with Tang Ji just now. At this time, his eyes were fierce and his expression was cold, as if he had become a different person, and he stabbed the strong man with the soldering iron in his hand.
On his face, he shouted: "I ask you again, whether to recruit or not!"
"Ah~" The stout man was trembling all over from being burned, and blood was flowing out from the wounds on his body.
Hong Li took back the soldering iron, but when he saw that the other party was still unwilling to speak, he ordered in a deep voice: "Break off his tendons!"
"Yes!" The two men next to him responded and quickly stepped forward to make preparations. Behind the position where they had just stood, several bleeding heads slowly swayed with the rope.
Looking at this scene, Tang Ji couldn't help but take a small step back, blinked his eyes several times, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he couldn't help but shudder, stopped staying, and turned around to leave.
What the hell is this Star Guard place?
A torture camp?
So damn cruel!
