The next morning, Zheng Mansion was converted into Wang's Residence. The City Lord worked quickly; he had probably arranged for artisans to carve the plaque overnight.
This wasn't particularly surprising. The Zheng Family was immensely wealthy, so naturally, the City Lord coveted their fortune. He had been reluctant to make a move due to the need to uphold propriety, but planting some informants was to be expected.
Therefore, when Wang Linchi took control of the Zheng Family's property, the City Lord was the first to learn of it.

Other factions were not as quick to learn about the Zheng Family's situation. However, the matter was peculiar, and no one was foolish enough to openly challenge Wang Linchi for a share of the spoils.
