"Who is this officer looking for?" The small door of the Heavenly Master Mansion opened, and a young man dressed in a cotton priest robe inquired with curiosity.
Wearing a mask, Zhao Douan replied calmly, "I'm here at the invitation of Priest Gongshu Tianyuan. Please inform him that the Deputy Arresting Officer from Lihua Hall has arrived."
Without showing his face, Zhao Douan found it difficult to "show face" to enter.
The priest was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to delay. After saying "please wait a moment," he quickly closed the door and went to confirm.
Outside the Heavenly Master Mansion during winter, the place was cold and deserted. Zhao Douan stood in the wind for a while, basking in the sun, before the priest returned and respectfully invited him inside.
Following a familiar path, they arrived outside the courtyard where Gongshu Tianyuan was located. Before entering, the sound of "ding ding dang dang" hammering noises came from inside the "workshop."
