"What is it?" The City Lord asked hurriedly.
Luo Xi snorted coldly: "He is definitely not one of the revered one's."
"How can you be so sure?" The City Lord was a little confused.
Luo Xi glanced at the City Lord and his eyes flashed with disdain but he concealed it well. "It's very simple. Just how powerful is the revered one? The Clear Breeze City is already under our control and if the revered one has any needs, why would he go through so much trouble to get people to spend so much money to buy manors? If the revered one needs it, he could just instruct you directly. Why would he need to spend so much gold? "
The City Lord was suddenly enlightened, realizing that the money Jun Xie spent to buy the manors was not a small sum!
"And there's one more point. The reason the revered one asked us to let the refugees in is something you and I know very well. But to provide them with such conditions, wouldn't that be going against the revered one's intentions? Could it be that the revered one really wants to raise them to be healthy and healthy before sending them off to die somewhere else with the poison? " Luo Xi's mind cleared up immediately. He had not known how much Jun Xie had spent to buy those manors and when he had heard the shopkeeper report the figure, he had jumped in fright. That had made him almost certain that the person was not someone sent by the revered one.
"Damn it. Since he was not sent by the revered one, what does he really want?" The City Lord said angrily.
Luo Xi shook his head. He could not be sure about that as the other party had only provided the refugees with a place to stay and had not revealed anything else.
"Why don't we ….. just let him do as he pleases for now. Afterall, the daily expenses of the refugees is not a small sum and since he is willing to help us take care of them, wouldn't we be able to save on some expenses?" The City Lord's cunning mind was revealed, his eyes unable to conceal the greed.
Luo Xi snorted coldly and his expression immediately turned stern. "You're thinking too much. Those refugees are just eating cold hard cornbread all day, how much can they possibly spend? The revered one asked you to let in three hundred old and weak women and children everyday but you secretly got your men to bribe those rich merchants to enter the city, taking up quite a number of the spots. Do you really think the revered one is not aware of this? "
The City Lord's heart thumped. Letting the rich into the city was a decision he had made behind the revered one's back and the moment he thought of the revered one's might, the City Lord felt his back break out in cold sweat.
"Young Master Luo … You … Look at what you're saying …" The City Lord laughed dryly.
"Heh, let me tell you, the Venerable One knows exactly what you're thinking. He's just turning a blind eye to it so that you can get some benefits out of it. However, if you dare to delay the Venerable One's business, you won't be able to bear the consequences! The Venerable One wanted those frail and sickly old fellows to stay in the refugee camp. As long as they did not die, it would be fine. If they were allowed to eat and drink well, how could they be so easily controlled in the future? Keep your thoughts to yourself. It's just over a thousand refugees. You want to save this bit of money? Are you tired of living?! " Luo Xi could not stand the City Lord's greedy personality and if not for the fact that he still bore the title of the Lord of the Clear Breeze City, Luo Xi would really not want to be associated with such a person.
Being scolded harshly by Luo Xi, the City Lord's face immediately turned pale.
"I'll leave this matter to you. If you don't handle it well, you'll have to explain to the Venerable One yourself! Do not forget, those manors were sold to that scoundrel by your men! "Upon saying that, Luo Xi stood up and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer in the City Lord's Manor.
