Where there is oppression, there is resistance -- this saying applies everywhere and rings true universally.
Under Sha Yuandong's control, which part of Yongle Square was oppressed the most? Naturally, it was the businessmen.
Businessmen are driven by profit. Money is their lifeblood. To seize their wealth is akin to murdering their parents, Sha Yuandong is undoubtedly annihilating them.
Employed directly under Sha Yuandong were less than a hundred people. These people have always stayed under Sha Feiying, being trained in martial arts and guard the Hall.
These people have had no real authority in the past. Although their monthly "Regular Money" was higher than that of other gang members under different Gang Leaders, they did not have many gray income sources like the others.
Their monthly money deserved compared to the disciples of the War Hall who risked their lives in real gang fights was inferior; they could only receive a meager two taels of silver a month at most.
