C334 Mysterious Family
"Miss Tang? Miss Tang?" Tour Guide Wang noticed that Tang Xin seemed to be distracted and reminded her softly.
Tang Xin came back to her senses. She smiled apologetically at Tour Guide Wang and said, "Oh. I'm sorry, Tour Guide Wang, but please continue. "
"Okay." Tour Guide Wang nodded.
"This time, some changes have happened to the families in Yanjing. Apart from the three top families, Gao family, Qin family and Hee family, there is also a mysterious family that has recently been exposed to the public."
"Hmm? Mysterious family?" Tang Xin was slightly interested when she heard Tour Guide Wang's words.
"Yes, this family has a very strange name. They call themselves the Guigu family."
Tang Xin was a little surprised when she heard Tour Guide Wang's words.
After all, this title was too famous. This title had already appeared in China thousands of years ago. As soon as it appeared, it stirred up huge waves in their era.
Ghost Valley was not a family name. It was the collective name of their clan. It was said that after the first generation of Guigu'zi, each generation of Guigu'zi would personally instruct their two disciples, and let them fight each other in the world. The one they won would be the next Guigu'zi.
Such a system of inheritance allowed the name of Guigu'zi to be deeply engraved in the history of China. Almost every dynasty had the active figures of Guigu'zi's disciples.
From the beginning of the Warring States Period, the battles had been spreading along the lines of history. Among the many battles in history, a large portion of them seemed to have nothing to do with the people of Guigu'zi, but when one delved into the entire process of those events, one would discover some disciples of Guigu'zi.
In modern society, Guigu'zi's legacy seemed to have been cut off. Under such circumstances, a clan who claimed to be Guigu'zi had suddenly appeared, which was quite surprising.
"Why do they call themselves that?" Tang Xin looked at Tour Guide Wang with confusion and asked, "Are they really from the legendary sect?"
Tour Guide Wang shook his head at this question and could not give a definite answer.
However, Tour Guide Wang said, "I am not sure about this, but I know that the scale of the Guigu family's business is quite large. It is even comparable to the top families like the Gao family and Qin family of Yanjing."
"Moreover, this family has never shown any activity before. It is as if they have suddenly appeared. We have conducted some investigations here and found that most of their businesses have just been purchased recently."
"What?" Tang Xin was completely shocked. "Just by purchasing, they are able to obtain properties close to a top family? How much money do they have?"
Even Tang Xin was shocked by the enormous wealth displayed by the Guigu family.
The families of the Gao family, Qin family, and Hee family of the Yanjing were the symbol of wealth and status.
They were the top families in the Yanjing. In front of them, families like the four families of the Yanjing could only be called second-rate families.
A large part of the reason why the four families formed an alliance was to deal with the enormous pressure coming from the three families.
The combination of the four families allowed them to develop in a place like Yanjing. From this, it could be seen how terrifying they were.
The scale of these families' businesses was an astronomical figure. If they exchanged all the money in their families for gold, they would look like a mountain of gold.
And now, someone had reached this level just by purchasing it. That kind of wealth was truly a little beyond imagination.
"That might not be the case, because according to what we know, all of their purchases were carried out in secret, and no relevant information was revealed. According to our estimates, it is very likely that they had obtained those industries at an extremely low price."
"Hmm? Extremely low price? Could it be that they are all properties that are on the verge of bankruptcy?" Hearing Tour Guide Wang's words, Tang Xin more or less had some speculations.
If all the properties that were purchased were trash, the price would not be very high.
"No, all of them are high-quality industries." Tour Guide Wang shook his head and continued, "However, this Guigu family seemed to have used some methods to control all these properties a long time ago. Their so-called public acquisition might just be a formality."
Tang Xin could not help but frown when she heard these words. There was too much room for imagination in this place. Based on the information they had, there was no way for them to figure out what was going on.
"Phew, forget it. I'll meet that person from the Guigu family at the tea gathering later. Let's go up and have a chat. After a while, I should be able to get a rough idea of the situation." Tang Xin shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Tour Guide Wang saw that Tang Xin did not ask any more questions, so he continued to introduce her. "In addition, there are some new families. Although their power is average, they are worth paying attention to."
Just like that, Tour Guide Wang and Tang Xin chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Banquet Hall, where the Tea Gathering was held.
In front of them was a very wide glass door. The door was inlaid with black and white colored engravings. It looked like a huge ink painting suspended in the air.
On both sides of the ink painting were two huge white jade door pillars. On the pillars were two huge white jade door pillars. There were carvings of clouds and dragons on the pillars.
It was rumored that these two pillars had once stood in a palace of Tang Taizong. Later on, the palace was destroyed, but the pillars remained and were sent here to serve as the two gateposts.
The first thing to enter was a corridor. Golden crystal chandelier hung around the corridor. Walking through the corridor, it was as if one was soaking in sunlight. One could feel a sense of relaxation in one's body and mind.
After passing through the corridor, they arrived at the venue of this tea gathering, the Banquet Hall of Cloud Mountain.
Even though they had been here many times, Tang Xin still felt a little nervous.
Compared to this kind of grand event, the status of the Tang family could only be considered ordinary. They did not have the right to speak loudly.
Sun Mengyu, who was beside Tang Xin, was about the same as Tang Yun. Tang Yun had arrived, but even Sun Mengyu, who had always been noisy, was silent at this moment. She looked much more ladylike.
Walking into the Banquet Hall, a light scenery that made people feel relaxed and relaxed appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The entire Banquet Hall was actually completely transparent.
The sky, the green trees, the flowing water, and the Wuyi Mountain that stood at the side were all clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes, as if they were in a wilderness.
