The Tu Family has been engaged in commerce in the Southern Sea for more than a hundred years. Unlike other prominent families, who obsessively pursue land annexation and the inheritance of farming and reading, the Tu Family only bought a few parcels of land and properties on the outskirts of Huangjiang Prefecture.
The enormous wealth accumulated, aside from necessary expenses like bribing officials, socializing with various figures, buying shops, and building ships, was all stored in the warehouse.
Therefore, the warehouse located on the east side of the mansion was managed meticulously. The brick walls had no windows, with the only door guarded by six warehouse guards. Additionally, there were two groups of four people each, carrying lanterns and leading hunting dogs, patrolling in turns.
From their physiques, breathing patterns, and walking postures, it was evident that all these warehouse guards were martial artists, each carrying the most advanced flintlock gun of the era.
