Chen Xiang revealed a great deal.
It was mostly about the dirty deeds those characters did in secret.
One of them came from the criminal underworld. Even after supposedly going legitimate and branching into other industries, he never cut ties with his old connections.
The other sold counterfeit medicine, constantly cutting corners to lower costs and earn a black-hearted profit, while also squeezing the herb gatherers on purchase prices—profiting from both ends.
And both major families had one thing in common: bribery.
They both kept two sets of books—a public one and a secret one.
"Heh, interesting. Two sets of books."
"Isolate the records of dealings between the Gao Family and the Xiang Bang. Put all the others together."
"Have men transport the confiscated wealth back to the shop and guard it closely."
After giving a few simple orders, Chen Nuo left. He had other matters to attend to.
