Collecting his thoughts, Zhao Yi proceeded to examine the remaining documents in the silk pouch. One of them contained records detailing the backgrounds of Xiaoyue Pavilion and several individuals associated with it. Aside from noting that Niying’s identity was somewhat suspicious, there was nothing else that gave Zhao Yi cause for concern.
What truly warranted his attention was a file regarding Tianbao Pavilion. The Xuanying Bureau had already verified that the establishment was an asset belonging to Pei Yiyiu. Lu Gui had expressed great skepticism regarding how Pei Yiyiu managed to produce so many strange and wondrous items, and he had been monitoring the situation closely. He had even raised questions about the relationship between the Pei family and himself.
Zhao Yi had not expected that Lu Gui had been operating so extensively in the shadows. It seemed he had underestimated the head of the Xuanying Bureau. Zhao Yi quickly returned the documents to their original positions. Right now, he had no time to study anything else; locating the painting was the top priority.
