1431 This is the First Step 2 (1/2)
”Young Miss, five hundred and thirty seven arrived today and arrangements have been made for all of them.” Ye Sha stood outside the door, reporting the tally for the day.
”Five hundred already?” Jun Wu Xie asked with her eyes slightly lowered.
”How many are there left in the refugee camp?”
”About a thousand.” Ye Sha had already looked into the original number of people there were in the refugee camp and as the Clear Breeze City allowed about three hundred refugees into the city daily which included the rich merchants who bribed their way in which took up a small part of that quota, he was able to conclude that the number of impoverished refugees coming in daily would be less than three hundred.
”Continue.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.
”Reporting to the Young Miss. Your subordinate had secretly tailed the group of refugees that had been taken out from the refugee camp and discovered that they had all been sent directly into the City Lord's Manor.” Ye Sha then said. After the refugees have been in the city for seven days, would they then be arranged to go somewhere else. But where they went exactly, no one knew. Ye Sha had followed them till they reached the City Lord's Manor but he had not gone inside fearing that he would be discovered. He had then waited outside the door for the rest of the day but did not see a single one of those refugees coming out, where they had all seemingly remained inside the City Lord's Manor.
Ye Sha told everything that he had found out to Jun Wu XIe and Jun Wu Xie lifted an eyebrow slightly hearing the report.
It seemed that there was indeed something fishy about the Lord of the city!
”Continue to pay attention to the City Lord's Manor and the Fortune Spring Hall from now on and if you discover anything strange, report it to me in the first instance.” Jun Wu Xie said.
”Yes!” Ye Sha acknowledged his orders and retreated.
Jun Wu Xie's gaze shifted to look out the window, as her eyes seemingly flashed with a unidentifiable glint.
Luo Xi was acting just like usual, leading several of his lackeys behind him to ”spread benevolence” in the refugee camp. But he had just stepped into the refugee for a short while when he noticed that something did not seem right. The refugee camp was largely empty and the once narrow and squeezy street had only a measly few scattered people moving on it. In their hands, they carried their sparse luggage that comprised all their belongings and the usual haggard and gaunt look on their faces had disappeared, replaced by smiles upon them.
