章節 336: Chapter 318: Master (Seeking Subscriptions)

Wang Sen and others, including Lin Xi, could only follow Lin Rui to the entrance of Chengtian Gate in the imperial city before they could proceed no further.

Meng Weiyun arranged for his subordinates to lead them to a nearby mansion, which would be Lin Rui's residence in the capital henceforth.

This had been arranged by the Third Divine Envoy long ago; it was a confiscated residence of a guilty official, not only less than five miles from the imperial city but also incredibly spacious and luxurious.

It was said that the mansion used to belong to a prince consort, encompassing gardens and drill grounds of over fifty acres; in such a prime location within the capital, the sheer size of it bordered on inhumanity.

As extravagant as the mansion was, with its pavilions, terraces, carved galleries, and bridges all complete, it still adhered to the standard fitting for officials of the fifth to third rank, without any excess.
