The Seven Stars Gang had been entrenched in North City for years. Though they were annually required to hand over the majority of their earnings to the Gao Clan, the wealth they had accumulated was still substantial.
Under Chen Sheng's command, the soldiers searched house by house, registering and cataloging everything. They were busy for a full two hours before they had a preliminary tally of the gang's assets.
The cash silver in the storehouse alone amounted to over 2,300 taels, all sealed in wooden chests, its shimmering light dazzling the eyes.
This didn't even include the portable wealth discovered elsewhere, such as gold and silver vessels, jewelry, and jade artifacts. If these were all converted to cash, the total value would likely increase by a considerable percentage.
Furthermore, they found numerous land deeds, property deeds, and business documents—all properties the Seven Stars Gang had acquired over the years.
