"With this, the Liu Family had borrowed their courage, and they wouldn't need to pay them anymore; the swallowed grains and money could be considered as their payment for the Liu Family's work,"
At this point, Chief Clerk Yang said solemnly, "And what the several members of the Liu Family wanted was the materials for the city expansion."
Lin Yan listened quietly and said, "According to what you say, since the time I had those people killed initially, there haven't been any overt skimming of materials."
"So they changed their method, instead of directly taking the inventory items into their own hands like before,"
Chief Clerk Yang said, "The materials handed over now have the right quantities, but once they pass through our hands and spread out to different sectors, then manipulations could be made."
Lin Yan, touching the Zhao Ye saber in his hand, roughly understood Chief Clerk Yang's meaning.
This city expansion, for many people, was a feast.
