At the Lu clan mansion.
The clan head was sitting in the grand hall and was listening to the daily reports from the stewards and other juniors of his clan. This was one of his main duties as the clan head and also a rather boring part. But he never showed it as such and fully focused on the things that were being said.
Accompanying him were a few of the elders of his clan and the people related to the matter that was being discussed.
"Our shops have suffered a loss of 8% in the last month, while the traders have instead increased their profits by 14%. We suspect that they may be undercutting us in the trade routes and showing us the wrong ones." The Junior of the clan reported.
"Hmm, send someone to check if the other clans were affected too, and report back to me." Clan head Lu said after thinking for a minute.
"As you wish, clan head." The Junior clasped his head and went away to do his work.
~Sigh~
