In the alley, Shen Zifang had been waiting for a long time and bowed as soon as he saw Qi Yue.
"Master."
Qi Yue shook her folding fan and gave Qingzhu a meaningful glance.
"No need for formalities, let's talk somewhere else."
"Yes."
Qingzhu quickly arranged a quiet inn room nearby and set people to watch around, while she herself stood guard outside for safety.
In the room, without waiting for Qi Yue to ask, Shen Zikuang began to report the information he had gathered.
"Master, looking solely at business, the Liu Family seems to have no issues. However, there is one very strange phenomenon."
"What phenomenon?"
"The Liu Family's businesses encompass three main categories: grain, cloth, and medicine. These should all be highly profitable sectors, but based on my judgment of the accounts, they only make a minimal profit. It seems there's something hidden behind this."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue gripped her fan, "You mean someone is siphoning off the profits?!"
