Capital City is a place where dark secrets can be buried, but also a place that can hardly keep even a blade of grass from revealing the wind's movement.
Especially when Yan Qing placed a secret bet of 500,000 at the Bafang Gambling House. On that day, Bafang dispatched ten large carts to empty out the silver in their vaults and delivered it ostentatiously to the Marquis Duanjing's residence. This set the already lively Capital city abuzz.
Is money a good thing?
It indeed is quite a good thing!
One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver is an astronomical figure not only for the common folk but also for the noble households. A family with a few hundred thousand in its coffers is already considered exceptionally wealthy. In the entire Capital City, only the Imperial Palace and Marquis Duanjing's family at its peak once possessed such wealth.
