The decoration in the palace is not luxurious, but there is an aura of majesty everywhere.
Walking through the corridors inside and outside the house, Lin Bai could see many soldiers wearing armor coming and going from time to time.
The entire palace is like a military camp for marching and fighting!
"Prince Qi, Lord Wolf has arrived."
"Please come in, Mr. Langhou."
Prince Liang's majestic voice came from the study, like thunder and the power of heaven.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others felt shuddering when they heard the sound.
Lin Bai looked calm and walked into the study.
The space inside the study is extremely spacious, and the faint light from the surrounding oil lamps reflects the dozens of figures in the room.
There are quite a few warriors in the study room of Prince Liang at this moment. In addition to Prince Liang, the three princesses Chu Zimo, Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue are also among them.
This is the force representing the royal family of Chu State.
On the other side, the commander of the Zhaoxing Division came to seven people, one of whom was Zhu Mo.
Three commanders of the imperial army came, and like Zhao Xingsi, they represented the Chu court.
Next came Lin Bai and others, representing the five families and seven sects of Chu State.
A joint investigation by the three parties will ensure that nothing is missed.
"I've met the prince!"
"I've met the princess!"
Lin Bai led several people from the Tianshui Sect into the study room and bowed their hands in greeting.
Prince Liang smiled and nodded, indicating that Lin Bai did not need to be more polite.
"I've met Mr. Wolf Marquis."
After Lin Bai finished the ceremony, he heard the seven commanders and three commanders of the Zhaoxing Division bowing in unison.
Lin Bai nodded slightly in response and said no more.
"Brother-in-law..." Chu Zimo stood behind Prince Liang, winking at Lin Bai, with a smile on his face.
It seems that after last night's trip to the Moon Palace, Chu Zimo's feelings for Lin Bai became deeper and deeper.
If he had called Lin Bai "brother-in-law" before just for fun, then the word he called "brother-in-law" now seemed particularly sincere.
Chu Tinghan's face was expressionless, and Chu Tingxue's expression was indifferent. Neither of the two girls dared to be as rude and rude as Chu Zimo in front of Prince Liang.
But Chu Tinghan still glanced at Lin Bai secretly from the corner of his eye.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
After Prince Liang ordered Lin Bai to sit down, he said in a deep voice: "No more gossip. Since everyone is here, it is obvious that you have received His Majesty's order. In the next half month, we must move the imperial capital inside.
Search all the houses of the royal family and the five families and seven sects of the Chu State."
"Note that this includes not only their official residences, but also their private residences."
Prices in the imperial capital are extremely high, and ordinary warriors may not be able to buy a house in the imperial capital if they work hard all their lives.
But for the Chu royal family and the Five Families and Seven Sects, no matter how high the prices in the imperial capital are, they can buy a house in the imperial capital if they want to buy it.
Especially the royal family.
There are many princes, princes, princes, etc. in the royal family. They like to raise a few women outside for fun, and they often keep them in private houses.
Zhu Mo immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Prince Liang, according to your instructions, I have retrieved the files of the official residences and private residences of the Chu royal family and the five Chu families and seven sects in the imperial capital."
While talking, Zhu Mo took out the pile of files and placed them in front of everyone.
"Master Langhou can take a look."
Zhu Mo handed one of the files to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai took it and took a look. The three characters "Tianshui Sect" were written on the file.
Immediately.
Lin Bai silently opened it and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Does the sect have so many private residences and properties in the imperial capital?
The file, which is about three meters long, has tens of thousands of words densely written on it.
These include Tianshui Sect's various properties in the imperial capital, as well as the private residences owned by Tianshui Sect's disciples in the imperial capital.
Even the purpose for Tianshui Sect disciples to purchase private houses is clearly stated.
According to statistics in the files, the Tianshui Sect has more than a thousand businesses in the imperial capital, including elixir shops, weapons shops, ore shops, talisman shops, spice shops, etc.
Disciples of the Tianshui Sect also own many private residences in the imperial capital, more than two thousand in total.
After Lin Bai took a cursory glance, he handed the file to Bai Yifei.
Although Lin Bai is the holy son of Tianshui Sect, in the final analysis, he has not been a member of Tianshui Sect for a long time.
He cannot compare with Bai Yifei's understanding of Tianshui Sect.
After Bai Yifei read it, he was a little shocked. He deliberately lowered his voice and said to Lin Bai: "Almost all the records in this file are true."
"On the surface, the royal family of the Chu Kingdom kept saying that... they would not arrange for the Zhaoxing Division to investigate the five and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom. However, they did not expect that every move of the five and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom would be clearly captured by the Zhaoxing Division."
The five seven sects of the Chu State declared their allegiance to the Chu royal family, and one of the conditions they proposed was that the Zhaoxing Division was not allowed to investigate the five seven sects of the Chu State.
Even if the royal family of Chu State wanted to investigate the five families and seven sects of Chu State, they still needed to say hello in advance.
This rule has existed since ancient times.
But everyone did not expect that the Zhaoxing Division kept saying that they would not investigate the Five Families and Seven Sects of Chu State, but at the critical moment, they were able to produce all the information related to the Five Families and Seven Sects of Chu State.
Obviously, Zhao Xingsi secretly monitored the five families and seven sects of Chu State.
"Does the sect have so many properties in the imperial capital?"
The Tianshui Sect has more than a thousand properties in the imperial capital, and the fields involved are extremely complex.
This made Lin Bai extremely shocked.
Isn’t the Tianshui Sect in decline? With an industry of more than a thousand families, it can be considered as making a fortune every day, so can this be considered in decline?
Bai Yifei said in a low voice: "Thousands of families do not have much property. Among the five and seven sects of the Chu State, except the Kuchan Sect, the other sects and families have quite a lot of property in the imperial capital. Compared with them, we are very few."
Already."
"For example, the Danxia Sect owns more properties than ten thousand families in the imperial capital, and many of its properties are widely spread throughout the Chu Kingdom."
Danxia Sect has thousands of industries!
Lin Bai couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the five families and seven sects of the Chu State were too simplistic. Sects and families that can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years will never be as harmless to humans and animals as they appear on the surface.
Behind the scenes, everyone has their own tricks.
"As for the private residences of my disciples in the imperial capital, it's very complicated."
Bai Yifei looked at the private residences owned by Tianshui Sect disciples in the file and whispered: "Some of these private residences were purchased by the disciples themselves, and some were purchased by using the families behind them!"
"For example, Zhou Xinjun's private residence."
It is clearly written in the file that Zhou Xinjun, a core disciple of the Tianshui Sect, owns a private house in the imperial capital.
Moreover, the specific location of this private residence is clearly written down, and even the warrior who lives in it is clearly identified.
“Junior Brother Zhou Xinjun’s private residence was purchased by himself.”
"He was originally an orphan and was adopted by his master. Later, after he became successful in his studies, he used some kind of magical power to find his blood relatives."
"After learning that he was accidentally lost, Junior Brother Zhou Xinjun did not complain about his parents and bought a house for them in the Imperial Capital so that they could live in the Imperial Capital."
"But this house has not been disclosed to the outside world."
"I know about this."
Bai Yifei first stated that he knew about Zhou Xinjun's private residence in the imperial capital.
