Wangshu came back to report to Ling Hua, "Two million taels of silver have been stored in the treasury, not a single penny less."
Ling Hua was satisfied and instructed Liuli, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some specialty dishes today. We will hold a banquet tonight and properly entertain Headman Cheng and Headman Zhu."
Liuli nodded and happily made her way to the kitchen.
Lin Feiyuan curiously asked Ling Hua, "Helmsman, by inviting them into the Governor's Office, do you have some ulterior motive aside from wanting Headman Cheng to eat the Truth Elixir?"
Ling Hua glanced at Lin Feiyuan, "How did you suddenly become so clever?"
Lin Feiyuan rolled his eyes, "I've always been clever."
Seeing that everyone's gaze had turned to him, he lowered his pride and muttered, "It's just that there are too many clever people around now, making me seem dumb in comparison."
Ling Hua nodded, "I do have some other thoughts."
