Zhang Clan nodded in agreement with Chen Xi's statement. While other merchants were still discussing whether Liu Xuande intended to hike the price at the last minute, Zhang Clan had already received astonishing intelligence from the Strategists of Fenggao: North First Street was not under official control.
Not being under official control, Zhang Clan's first thought was of Chen Xi. Unlike others who would need to think it through, Zhang trusted her intuition more. Ever since learning about Chen Xi's almost demonic performance, whenever Zhang came across something she couldn't figure out, she would attribute it to Chen Xi—it was just a matter of following his lead.
"It's right here," Chen Xi said with a smile, pointing to the wooden box. "The storefronts on North First Street are mostly right here. When Fenggao was first established, we had already acquired them. Does Lord Xuande remember what he said back then?"
