As expected, early the next s were the sa into the City Lord's Manor, his face darkened

The City Lord had suffered a great shock yesterday and had fallen so sick he was confined in bed His ankle that Ye Sha had sto cared for by his concubines so well that he was al as he lay in bed

When Luo Xi caly dark

"Why is the task I asked you to deal with still not settled! ?" Luo Xi asked as he looked at the pudgy and obese City Lord, his eyes filled with disdain

The City Lord swung his gaze over to look at Luo Xi, his heart sneering but his face looking shocked and startled

"All of you are diso out before he started sobbing and wailing in front of Luo Xi "It's not that I didn't want to go deal with it, but I really a about it! I had wanted to find an excuse to confiscate those lofts to make them mine but that kid was just too s price to buy over both the deeds to the houses and to the lands they sat on I sent Liu Er to go stir up trouble yesterday but not only had he not succeeded, he and his gang had all died there I led a troop of soldiers there after that and was properly snubbed and humiliated I had wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality and would have torn right into him but I suddenly remembered that the revered one had instructed e before I held myself back"

Luo Xi's brows creased up even further What the City Lord was saying wasn't wrong His ie as the benevolent Lord of the City was established only through much effort and if they wanted to continue to receive e too badly

Luo Xi was deep in thought and his gaze then fell upon the City Lord's foot that was heavily wrapped up in bandages

"What happened to your foot?"

The City Lord's heart jumped and he quickly tried to hide it as he said: "It's all Liu Er's fault! When I heard that he and all his men were killed up there, I was so shocked I fell heavily, and broke my ankle"

Luo Xi's glance lingered on the City Lord for a er and seemed to have believed the City Lord's words

"The refugees ere supposed to report to the City Lord's Manor still had not appeared If that place up in the city's north is not properly dealt with, those pieces of trash would just rereatly delay what the revered one wants us to accomplish" Luo Xi then went on to say

"That's for sure" The City Lord heaved a sigh of relief

Luo Xi then threw the City Lord a look of conte You can't even deal with such a small matter properly and need to trouble me to do it"

"I know, you're naturally er than I am" The City Lord said quickly, in a hurry to butter up Luo Xi, but in his heart, he was greeting all past eighteen generations of Luo Xi ancestors an entire round "I wonder what plans Luo Xi has up his sleeve?"

"Have you forgotten what kind of a place the Fortune Spring Hall is? No reat that place in the city's north is, if a few lives were lost up there, those old fogeys would not dare to continue to re up with a venolint

He said a fewhis sleeves as he turned to leave

Luo Xi's foot had just stepped out when the City Lord i a short and concise letter, he got his trusted aide to deliver the letter to the city's north
