Chapter 539: Money Or Life?

"...The affairs inside an influential clan like the Zhong Clan with several hundred members are definitely a lot more complicated than what most would imagine. Internal strife and schemes must be common. The Zhong Clan's seat of power is currently occupied by Zhong Hong'an and his family line. His ancestors have been the head of the Zhong Clan for generations, and they have come to be known as the 'main house'. It is extremely difficult for anyone from the branch houses of the Zhong Clan to rise above all else. Even outsiders are only able to become supervisors or managers in the Zhong Clan at most. If they are lucky, they will be appointed as the supervisor of the Datong Monetary House and be allowed outside. Only a select few can be included as an elder in the clan in the end. Can you guess why the Zhong Clan sent me here to Pingxi Prefecture?"
