A huge piece of gossip buzzed around the Suzhou government. The people, who lived to watch a show and were not afraid of the government, had heard the news earlier. They all waited around the yamen early in the morning, talking as they waited.
Everyone was discussing the matter that had spread like wildfire through Suzhou and gradually attracted all the eyes in Jiangnan—the battle of the Ming family property.
No one had imagined that the seventh young master of the Ming family, who should have died long ago, would suddenly appear before them all.

During the palace treasury incident, the Seventh Ming's identity had changed again, and he had become a royal merchant responsible for managing the palace treasury's road to the North.
