As the outer circles heard the news, waves of excitement spread like a gust of wind, shimmering its way through the crowd in waves.
Feng Zhiwei's announcement covered pretty much everyone in the crowd. Many of the Yan Family's dock workers were here, so she had specifically mentioned them, and many South Sea commoners lived long lives, so most of the extensive families here had many elders older than sixty. If the families escorted their elders to receive the rice and silver, they would have a lot to share.
Very quickly, the crowd began to scatter.
Time was limited, and the distance far. When these people returned from receiving their rice and silver, the matter here at the temple would be resolved.
Good news travels fast, and Li Zheng had just finished circling the crowd one time and everyone had already heard. The crowd hesitated, exchanging excited glances.
