A trembling CLANG... echoed far and wide. The door of the kitchen was flung open as Yang Xiaohai, hitching up his pants, frantically scurried towards the source of the sound.
The drawn-out sound of the gong swiftly drew everyone in Niuxin Village. By the time Yang Xiaohai arrived, he saw a group of eunuchs in front of a neat convoy, delivering various items to the village.
Among them were live pigs, cows, and sheep, as well as bolts of fine silks and satins, and even stacks of gold and silver.
Witnessing this, the other villagers immediately began to marvel, discussing the scene excitedly among themselves.
"Did I hear that right? Is all this from the Emperor for us?"
"Not for you. It's for the Taoist master."
"My goodness, was Doggy telling the truth? Is the Emperor really his senior brother? Does that mean we have a connection with the Emperor now?"
"What's happened? What's going on?"
