"Young Miss, the five hundred and thirty seven people who arrived today have all been taken care of." Ye Sha stood outside the door, reporting the situation to Jun Xie.
"Five hundred?" Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes.
"How many people are left in the refugee camp?"
"About a thousand." Ye Sha had already looked into the original number of people in the refugee camp. The Clear Breeze City allowed about three hundred refugees into the city daily and among them, the rich merchants who bribed their way into the city took up a small portion of the quota. Hence, the number of people entering the refugee camp was less than three hundred.
"Continue." Jun Wu Xie nodded.
"Reporting to Eldest Miss, this subordinate was secretly following the group of refugees that were sent out today and discovered that they had directly entered the City Lord's Mansion." Ye Sha said. The refugees had been in the city for seven days before the City Lord would arrange for them to go somewhere else. But as to where exactly they went, no one knew. Ye Sha followed them into the City Lord's Manor but he did not follow them in as he was afraid of alerting the enemy. But after waiting outside the gates for half a day, he did not see any refugees coming out from the City Lord's Manor. It was as if those people had all remained within the City Lord's Manor.
Ye Sha told Jun Wu Xie about his discovery and Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow.
There was definitely something fishy about the Lord of the Clear Breeze City!
"Pay close attention to the situation in the Grand Chieftain's Manor and Fortune Spring Hall for the next few days. If you discover anything out of the ordinary, inform me immediately."
"Yes!" Ye Sha acknowledged and retreated from the room.
Jun Wu Xie shifted her gaze out of the window and something seemed to flash in her eyes.
As per usual, Luo Xi brought several of his lackeys with him to the refugee camp to "spread their benevolence". But he had just stepped into the refugee camp for a short while when he noticed that something was not quite right. The refugee camp was completely empty and in the originally crowded narrow streets, there were only a few scattered people walking about. All of them were carrying wretched luggage in their hands, the haggard and haggard look on their faces disappearing, their faces filled with smiles.
"What's going on here?" Luo Xi's brows immediately creased up. He had not been here for just two days and the situation had changed so much? More than half of the refugees who were supposed to welcome him had disappeared, and the entire refugee camp suddenly became much emptier. Luo Xi was puzzled and he sent his followers to go ask the refugees who were preparing to leave. It didn't take long for the followers to rush back.
"Young Master, these people are preparing to rush to the north of the city," the attendant said.
"North of the city?" Luo Xi asked with a puzzled frown. "Why are we going to the north of the city for?" "I heard that some time ago, someone bought a large number of houses in the north of the city, flattened them and rebuilt them. They built many small lofts and provided accommodation and food for the refugees for free. These refugees are going to move there," the attendant said carefully.
Luo Xi's eyes widened in surprise and he grabbed at the follower's sleeve to say: "What did you say? Did someone in the north of the city provide new lodgings for these bugs? " The follower swallowed his saliva. "Yes … yes …"
"What the hell are they up to!?" Luo Xi's brows creased up tightly. "Do you know who did this to the city's north?"
"I don't know …" the attendant shook his head.
"Could it be that the revered one has made other arrangements?" Luo Xi could not be certain of the situation at that moment. "Let's go to the city's north to take a look first."
"Yes!"
In just a short while, Luo Xi and his companions had arrived at the city's north. When Luo Xi saw the rows of neat little lofts, he could not help but be slightly taken aback. Before each loft, there were several men dressed in uniform who were there to receive the refugees who had just arrived.
