Half a month later, all the servants and the shopkeeper of Yan's Pill Shop were replaced.
After Yan Qingwan reported the matter of Zheng Tianxiang trying to win over Li Ji'an to the clan, the clan decisively chose not to spend effort investigating one by one.
Nor did they make a great effort due to any specific person who might have been bribed or threatened.
Especially what the Patriarch Yan Zongsheng said to Yan Qingwan: Human nature is half good and half evil. We commend and greatly reward the loyal and righteous, but cannot expect everyone to remain loyal forever; it's merely a balance of interests. What we need most is to make clansmen understand that only within the clan are the benefits greatest and the risks least.
Opening trade routes and strengthening oneself, being able to provide more resources for the clan, thereby maximizing the safety of clan members, is the right path.
