The upheaval in Zhaoyang had passed six months ago, and with the orders of Sikong Yue, Zhaoyang, which lacked both a County Lord and Magistrate, could truly be called Hou's City, without any concessions.
The businesses of the Hou Clan had thoroughly permeated every corner of Zhaoyang County. Without competition, the output of iron ore and medicinal herbs climbed higher and higher, continuously sold to the prefectural city, bringing massive profits.

On the surface, there was the Zhaoyang Escort Agency opened by Wang Gong, while secretly, there was the Qinglong Association, which was renowned in four counties. The revenue from these two sectors was extremely substantial.
