"Go! Ask them who the person in charge here is. Just say that Luo Xi from the Fortune Spring Hall is here to pay a visit. " Luo Xi said with a frown. From his point of view, these lofts were rather good and it was a little strange for such a good place to be given to a bunch of refugees. Normal people would not waste so much money on refugees and Luo Xi was guessing that this place was most likely arranged by the revered one. Since they were serving the same master, it would not be rude for him to come here and greet them.
Luo Xi did not notice in the slightest that from a window on the second floor of a loft to the side, a person was staring at him with a cold gaze.
"Young Miss! Luo Xi says he wants to see you. "Ye Mei said.
"So fast ….." Jun Wu Xie stared at Luo Xi standing below and her eyes flashed with a chill.
"Tell him I'm not free." After saying that, Jun Wu Xie turned her gaze away and sat down at the table.
Ye Mei immediately got someone to bring Jun Wu Xie's words to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi was not able to see the person in the city's north and although he was feeling rather puzzled, he did not mind it too much. The Clear Breeze City had already fallen into his control and no one would be able to stir up any big waves here.
But having been rejected like that, Luo Xi's face did not look too good. When he left, he did not go straight back to the Fortune Spring Hall but instead walked in the direction of the City Lord's Manor.
"Young Master, are you going to the City Lord's Manor?" The attendant asked cautiously.
"Since that person refuses to meet us, then let's go ask the City Lord and we will be able to find out who that person is." Luo Xi said.
The attendant nodded his head in understanding.
In the City Lord's Manor, Luo Xi sat in the main hall, sipping on tea served by servants.
Not long after, a middle aged man with a large belly came walking over, puffing and puffing. He was dressed in lavish robes and his face was smiling, the flesh on his cheeks puffed up, looking highly festive.
"What brings Brother Luo here today?" This fatty was the Lord of the Clear Breeze City and was said by many of the refugees to be a righteous and benevolent man. But just looking at his physique, it was hard to associate him with any official who worried about the country and its people.
Luo Xi swept his gaze over the City Lord and a corner of his mouth curled up discreetly. His eyes flashed with a glint of disgust but he quickly covered it up. He dusted off his sleeves and went straight to the point to say: "A large number of manors in the city's north have been bought by someone. Do you know about that?"
The City Lord was slightly taken aback, never having thought that Luo Xi would actually come here for that. "I know about that. The piece of land in the city's north was originally meant to be sold to those idiots with a lot of money. We managed to sell quite a lot of it in one go this time and we gained quite a lot of benefits from it."
In fact, the shop selling manors at the side of the government office had been privately opened by the City Lord himself. Although it was not the City Lord's name on the surface, but a large portion of the money had fallen into his pocket. When the shopkeeper had come to report the bill to the City Lord a few days ago, the City Lord had found out that someone had bought up so many places in one go and he had been rather delighted in his heart. It must be known that the property prices in the Clear Breeze City were already as high as those in the Vassal Kingdom's Imperial Capital and that was not a small sum at all!
"Do you know who bought it?" Luo Xi asked as he looked at the City Lord. He knew very well about the incident with the shop.
"I heard it was an unfamiliar youth and I think he must have used the money route to sneak into the city. Why are you suddenly so concerned about this matter? Could it be that the revered one has some instructions for me? "The expression on the City Lord's face changed slightly, his voice tinged with nervousness.
Luo Xi replied: "The revered one only asked us to carry on with the matter and it's nothing much. I came to look for you today because of the matter with those manors in the city's north. Do you know that those manors in the city's north have all been taken out by that youth to help the refugees?!"
