Before long, the entourage of confiscators had finished their business.

The eunuch Zhang Jin, accompanied by two attendants carrying chests of money, came over and reported,

"Combining the opium den with this mansion, we've confiscated a total of about 100 taels of medicinal materials, antiques, weapons, and silver coins, but... we did not find the remains of the late Elder Liao."

Liao Ya's expression turned cold as he said, "I myself will retrieve my late father's remains from the Hailong Gang!"

Then he said to Zhang Jin with a smile, "Eunuch Zhang, thank you for your trouble this time. Consider these belongings a token of my gratitude; it's not in vain that everyone's been bustling about."

Hearing Liao Ya say this, Zhang Jin hurriedly demurred, "This won't do, this won't do!"

The two attendants carrying the chests also suddenly changed color. A hundred taels was no small sum, and to think it would just be given away like that!?
