I laughed and said, "That's right."
Tang Chenshung patted my hand and gratefully said, "Lord Ye, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. If there's ever a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"
I smiled and replied, "I'll be waiting for that."
Tang Chenshung expressed a few more words of thanks before leaving with his son.
Li Dangshi watched their retreating figures and said with concern, "My lord, with Lu Yitau dead, Golden Lake City is likely to be chaotic for a while. We should leave here as soon as possible."
I nodded and said, "You're right. Let's have everyone pack up quickly and set off early tomorrow morning."
Li Dangshi acknowledged and turned to leave.
Yuan Bufei and the others also returned to their rooms to rest.
I went back to my room on the second floor, washed my face, changed into clean clothes, and sat down in a chair to drink tea.
Before long, Mou Xiaoning and Sister Thirteen arrived.
As soon as they entered, they took out a thick stack of silver notes and handed them to me.
I was taken aback and asked, "What is this…?"
Mou Xiaoning replied, "My lord, this is what we obtained from Lu Yitau. A total of five hundred thousand taels."
I raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? That's quite a lot."
Sister Thirteen added, "Lu Yitau has been dominating here for many years and has accumulated quite a fortune."
I nodded and pushed the silver notes back to them. "You should take it and divide it among yourselves."
Mou Xiaoning was taken aback. "This... this won't do! Such a large sum must be handled by you!"
Sister Thirteen also nodded. "Yes, my lord, you should accept it."
I smiled and said, "We've fought together through thick and thin; what’s mine is yours. Just take it and use it."
Mou Xiaoning hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright then, thank you, Lord Xie."
I chuckled. "No need to be polite."
Mou Xiaoning thought for a moment and said, "My lord, since we've gathered so much money this time, what about Lord Feng's side…"
I replied calmly, "Lord Feng's side is taken care of by me; you don’t need to worry."
Mou Xiaoning sighed in relief. "Good, then we can rest easy."
I said, "You've all had a long day; you should get some rest."
Mou Xiaoning and Sister Thirteen acknowledged and turned to leave.
I sat in the room, looking at the banknotes on the table, lost in thought.
These property deeds couldn't be kept; they needed to be liquidated quickly, and the the Yang Family must not know.
After considering it, I called Liu Liu in and instructed, "Find a few trustworthy brothers to handle the property deeds left by Lu Yitau. Do not raise any suspicions."
Liu Liu replied, "Yes, my lord. I will take care of it right away."
I added, "Also, this matter must not be known to the Lu Family."
Liu Liu nodded. "Understood!"
I waved my hand, signaling him to leave.
He lay on the chair, staring at the ceiling, murmuring, "Since the war between Xiazhu and Yingzhou began, has there been a single good day...?"
"Sigh..."
I let out a sigh and forced a smile.
"I'm just an ordinary person; what can I do?"
I closed my eyes and fell into deep thought.
The next morning, I got up early and left Golden Lake City with a few people.
We took a carriage and hurriedly arrived at Haining.
After reaching Haining, I instructed Li Dangshi and the others to go back and rest, then I went to the Eleventh Place by myself.
The Eleventh Place was a hidden villa located fifteen miles outside Haining City. It was a courtyard with four sections, surrounded by lush trees, making it very secluded.
I walked through the main gate and arrived at Lord Feng's Administrative Hall.
