~5 min read 904 words

Never forget institutions like the Inner Guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Imperial City Division!

He would bet a million!

That among the people in this Jia Fu.

At least one was an informant for the Emperor or the Retired Emperor!

This was the most conservative estimate.

In reality, there were definitely quite a few!

They might even all be undercover agents!

Jia Hui wouldn't be surprised at all.

He didn't think it was specifically targeting him.

But that almost every imperial official and general should have this treatment!

So for the sake of insurance.

Jia Hui naturally dismissed them all.

Afterward, he could just insert his own summoned loyalists.

He would recruit externally.

Buy them from the human market.

And these bought ones couldn't be trusted either.

At most, they would do some peripheral work.

It was safer to have his own people close by.

"Come, open the door and lead the way."

"Then introduce the situation of the mansion!"

Jia Hui's expression was calm.

"Yes, My Lord."

"My name is Lin Gui."

"Currently, including me, there are ten servants in the mansion, seven men and three women."

Lin Gui returned respectfully and opened the main gate for Jia Hui.

Then he led the way, bowing and scraping.

Jia Hui followed.

Sister Xiren and Hearing Qingwen followed one on the left and one on the right, a step behind.

The remaining ten Bingzhou Wolf Riders led their horses.

And walked at the very back, still vigilant.

If there was any sign of trouble.

They would draw their weapons and guard Jia Hui's surroundings.

"Reporting to My Lord."

"The Jia Fu mansion has 9 large courtyards, containing 30 small courtyards, totaling 388 rooms."

After introducing the personnel composition.

Lin Gui introduced the mansion in detail.

Jia Hui and the others listened.

While observing and appreciating the mansion.

【67】 Satisfying Hearing Qingwen and Sister Xiren! Feeding them full (8)

Upon entering, there was a winding corridor.

Below the steps, a path was paved with pebbles.

It seemed.

During this time, Lin Gui and the others had carefully cleaned the mansion.

Along the way, not much trash could be seen.

It was very clean.

And the Jia Fu.

Looking at the whole courtyard, the layout was rigorous, the design exquisite, the architecture sophisticated, the bricks and tiles well-fitted, the craftsmanship fine, the bracket sets and flying eaves, the colorful decorations and gold plating, the brick and wood carvings, the craftsmanship superb, and the pavilions intertwined!

It fully embodied a glorious and noble style!

Making Jia Hui and the others very satisfied and pleased!

"The mansion architecture is divided into east, middle, and west routes, each route from south to north is composed of multi-entry courtyard houses connected by a strict central axis."

"The most important buildings on the middle route are the Green Hall and the Cool Hall."

Lin Gui told Jia Hui and the others.

Jia Hui looked at the roofs of the halls, which were all covered with green glazed tiles, showing the majesty and style of the middle route.

The front room of the east route was called the "Hundred Blessings Pavilion."

In front of the hall, there was a wisteria vine that had grown for over two hundred years!

"It has been kept alive since the previous dynasty."

"It is still growing very well to this day, which is extremely rare in the entire Divine Capital."

Lin Gui introduced.

Making Sister Xiren and Hearing Qingwen take a few more looks.

Then they passed through the three-bay hanging flower gate and the four-sided covered corridor, walking to the rear courtyard of the east route.

In front of them was a white wall built on the water, estimated to be at least two meters high! 20

Covered with black tiles!

The top of the wall was built in a wavy shape, and in the center, a moon-shaped red-lacquered gate was left ajar.

Meanwhile.

On the black plaque above the gate, the three gold-stamped characters "Zheng Shen Tang" were written.

Lin Gui introduced: "The main room in the backyard is called 'Zheng Shen Tang'; this is where you, My Lord, will reside."

Jia Hui looked left and right.

All were white powder walls, with tiger-skin stones below, built along the terrain!

Looking forward.

He saw white stones, some like ghosts, others like ferocious beasts, standing arching across, covered with moss spots, and shaded by wisteria.

The entire large courtyard was very big.

The whole courtyard was magnificent, elegant, and luxurious, filled with flowers.

It was over five hundred square meters!

Truly worthy of being the main room!

Afterward.

Jia Hui didn't rush to visit his main bedroom in the main room.

Instead, he visited all parts of the mansion roughly.

Even so.

It took a full hour.

Besides the courtyards and houses on the east route.

The courtyard houses on the west route were relatively small and exquisite compared to the atmospheric and luxurious east route.

The main buildings were the "Radiance Chamber" and the "Yong'an Study."

The masterpiece was the tall and majestic Yong'an Study, which had beautifully carved nanmu partitions in the main hall.

At the deepest part of the mansion, there was a two-story rear building, 156 meters long from east to west, with 88 windows on the back wall and 108 rooms inside, commonly known as "99 and a half rooms."

Taking the Taoist meaning of "fullness leads to overflow."
