Chapter 1158: Suspicions

Tang Dongfeng presented a map of the capital, upon which three circles were drawn.

"These shops are all east of the city, the shops in the West City are fundamentally owned by the nobility, and they can't be bought even with silver."

"East of the city is the most appropriate, that area is inhabited by wealthy merchants, or officials of relatively low rank from the capital, as well as some fallen noble families, where the situation isn't so complicated."

"The shops in East City include one, which Madam Hu from the Ministry of War Vice Minister's family urgently needs to sell due to a pressing matter at home, priced at three thousand five hundred taels."

"Another belongs to a merchant surnamed Zhong, who is also in urgent need of silver, thus selling it off, demanding three thousand taels."
