The man who spoke was a petty thug. The reason he knew all this was because he overheard Longkodo talking to the owner of the gambling den last time.
He had no sense of secrecy; he was just an ordinary hoodlum. Seeing that this group of people were well-dressed, he was afraid of being imprisoned, so he hurriedly moved out of the Tong family's house.
Upon hearing this, Kangxi frowned and stepped forward to ask, "You said your master works for the Tong family?"

"Let's go, don't worry about it. We've finally come out, we can't let these things hold us back."
Upon hearing this, Youqing stopped thinking about the Shumulu family's affairs. Consort Shu was already "dead," so what did it have to do with her?
