As expected, early the next morning, after Luo Xi ascertained that the situation in the city's north was the same as before, he charged straight into the City Lord's Manor with a dark face.
The City Lord had suffered quite a fright yesterday and was now lying on the ground in a sickly and sickly state. The ankle that had been broken by Ye Sha's stomp was still wrapped in a thick layer of bandages and he was being tended to by his concubines as he lay moaning and groaning in bed.
When Luo Xi charged in, the colour on his face was frighteningly ugly.
"Why haven't you done what I asked you to do!?" Luo Xi's brows creased up as he stared at the rotund City Lord, his eyes filled with disgust.
The City Lord swept his gaze over Luo Xi and he laughed coldly in his heart, but his face was a mask of shock.
"You guys can leave first." The City Lord asked everyone in the house to retreat out before he turned to Luo Xi with a face full of tears and mucus. "It's not that I don't want to handle it, but I really don't have the ability to! At first, I wanted to find an excuse to snatch those lofts, but that brat was too shrewd. He had already spent three times the price to buy all the deeds to the houses and the land. Yesterday, I sent Liu Er and the others to cause trouble, but not only did they not succeed, Liu Er and the others all died there. When I brought my troops over, I was also ridiculed. I originally planned to shed all pretense of cordiality with that person, but considering that the Venerable One had instructed me to maintain a benevolent image, I was restricted. "
Luo Xi's brows creased up even tighter. The City Lord's words were not wrong. It had not been easy for him to build up his image as the City Lord and if he wanted to take in more refugees in the future, he must not ruin it too thoroughly.
With that thought in mind, Luo Xi's gaze then fell upon the bandaged ankle of the City Lord.
"What happened to your leg?"
The City Lord's heart shook, and he hurriedly covered it up, "It's all Liu Er's fault. I heard that all the people he brought with him died there. In a moment of panic, he tripped and sprained his ankle."
Luo Xi stared at the City Lord for a moment, looking like he believed the City Lord's words.
"The refugees who were supposed to report to the City Lord's Mansion today have yet to appear. If we don't tidy up the northern part of the city, we'll be in trouble. Those pieces of trash will then continue to stay there, which will severely delay the revered lord's plans. "Luo Xi said.
"That's right." The City Lord heaved a sigh of relief.
Luo Xi stared at the City Lord in disdain. "You are really a useless piece of trash. You can't even handle such a small matter properly and even have to trouble me to do it."
"Of course, you're naturally much stronger than me." The City Lord was busy fawning over Luo Xi, but in his heart, he was cursing all eighteen generations of Luo Xi's ancestors. "I wonder what Young Master Luo's plans are?"
"Have you forgotten what kind of place my Fortune Spring Hall is? No matter how good that place in the city's north is, if a few lives were lost here, I'm afraid those old fogies would not dare to continue staying there! "Luo Xi's eyes flashed with a venomous chilling glint.
After saying a few more words to the City Lord, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Luo Xi's front foot had just left when the City Lord immediately called his trusted aide over and wrote a letter quickly, asking the aide to immediately send it to the city's north.
"City Lord, you want to send this letter to the north of the city?" The aide looked at the City Lord in shock.
The City Lord said, "Did you see anyone come to your residence yesterday?"
The confidant thought about it and shook his head.
The City Lord sighed in his heart. "Then don't ask anymore. Hurry up and send it over. Don't let anyone find out."
"Yes!"
The City Lord stared at the back of his trusted aide and his heart was shrouded in a layer of chill. Jun Xie had come to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and everyone in the City Lord's Mansion had been knocked unconscious and thrown into the backyard.
