Chapitre 387: Treasure Hunt

Li Runzhi was born into a family of chieftains in Diannan, where the position had been inherited for six generations until the periods of Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. After that, the family became the local squires and was extremely influential in Xinping and the nearby counties, running businesses in goods such as crude opium, tea, and salt. 

We wouldn't go into details on the family; those interested could do research on their own¹. What was interesting was this: when the Li Family fell apart, only a small amount of the family possession was found, and no one ever saw the legendary huge wealth they'd accumulated over the past generations.

For centuries, several theories on the whereabouts of the treasure had been going around in the Ailao Mountain area.
