Judging from the waiter's answer, Ye Luo already has a preliminary idea, but more information is needed to confirm it.
"Zhuo Captou was arrested. Didn't the court say anything?"
Then, Ye Luo continued to ask.
"Explanation? What can the imperial court say? Not to mention that Ningyuncheng is a small border town, just talking about this matter... I guess the city owner has not reported it to the imperial court!"
Hearing Ye Luo's words, the waiter smiled, a scornful smile that seemed to be complaining, but more of it was helpless.
Ye Luo could see his helplessness, the kind of helplessness that meant he was very resentful about this matter but was helpless.
Maybe, this is the normal mentality of the low-level monks in the Immortal Palace.
As for the many news about City Lord Ning Yun, Ye Luo knew that he could not directly ask the waiter. Firstly, it would attract other people's attention. Secondly, the waiter probably would not dare to casually tell the information about the City Lord.
Let’s ask in a roundabout way.
"What does it mean that the city lord didn't report it to the court?"
Thinking of this, Ye Luo frowned slightly and asked pretending to be very interested.
"That's the literal meaning. The city lord and Zhuo Baotou are at odds with each other. This is not a secret in the city."
The waiter spread his hands, still looking helpless.
"You mean that the city lord didn't report it to the court on purpose?"
Following the waiter's wishes, Ye Luo asked next.
"It must be intentional. Zhuo Captou is an upright man. Although he does not have a high official position as the City Lord, he always tries to stop the City Lord's greedy actions intentionally or unintentionally. The City Lord probably wishes that Zhuo Captou would be captured!"
The waiter nodded, as if he felt that Ye Luo was not a local, so he didn't worry too much when he spoke, and even complained about the city lord.
If these words had been spoken before, the waiter would never have said them!
He is just a waiter in a restaurant and a monk at the Spiritual Emperor Realm.
Who is the city lord? He is an official of the imperial court, the city lord of Ningyun City, and a monk in the saint realm!
Even if he had some courage, he wouldn't dare to blatantly complain about the city lord!
"Looking at what you said, you are the lord of a city after all. No matter how bad things happen, it won't be like what you said, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Luo pretended to smile and said jokingly.
"I might as well be conservative in saying this, as I am not afraid of the guests seeing the joke. People in the city are spreading the word that the bandits in Ningyun Village are supported by the city lord..."
Hearing this, the waiter sneered, and then he moved closer to her, and his voice became much quieter.
"Is there anything else?"
Ye Luo raised his eyebrows with a look of disbelief.
"They are all rumors and cannot be taken seriously. Sir, please take it easy, I am still busy."
Maybe he realized that he had said too much, so the waiter waved his hand quickly, turned around and ran away.
Seeing the waiter in the shop like this, Ye Luo couldn't help but laugh, then poured himself a glass of wine, pondered for a while and drank it down in one gulp.
“Really fine wine!”
After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Luo couldn't help but sigh happily.
The wine in the Immortal Palace is different from the wine in the mortal world. It actually contains immortal energy!
Although the quantity is small, it can greatly improve the overall taste of the wine.
At least when he was in the mortal world, Ye Luo had never tasted such delicious wine!
"It seems that these dishes should also be good!"
Looking at the dishes on the table, Ye Luo thought of Youxian, the owner of Nanxiao Tower.
The food he cooked was the most delicious food Ye Luo had ever tasted before. Now this table of delicious dishes in the restaurant in the small town on the border of Immortal Palace, I really don't know how compared to what You Xian made!
Ye Luo thought about it, put aside the investigation of the city lord first, filled his stomach first, and then talked about the rest!
Looking at the dishes on the table, Ye Luo took a bite at random and then put it in his mouth!
Just like the wine I drank before, there is actually a touch of fairy spirit in the dishes. The improvement in the deliciousness of the dishes is terrifying!
In an instant, those delicious delicacies that Youxian had made before suddenly no longer tasted good!
...
At night, the shops in Ningyun City were closed sporadically, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets. Ye Luozheng took advantage of the darkness and walked towards the city lord's palace.
At this time, his whole body was wrapped in a golden light that was so weak that it was invisible. It was the power of his eternal Tao, blessing his whole body and hiding his aura.
The sparse pedestrians on the street seemed to be unable to see Ye Luo. They walked right past him without even looking at him.
Even if someone bumps into Ye Luo while walking, they will look around in surprise, as if they don't know who bumped into them.
This is the method Ye Luo uses to hide his aura now!
I'm not bragging, even if Niu Meng and Qian Dong, two middle-level saints, were here, as long as Ye Luo didn't come closer, neither of them would be able to discover Ye Luo!
The reason is also very simple. The way Ye Luo hides his aura now is to use his own 10% immortal energy and the power of eternal Tao to attach to his body, making him infinitely consistent with the surrounding world.
There are many monks in Luo, otherwise they would not be able to discover him!
Next, Ye Luo came all the way to the City Lord's Mansion. The soldiers guarding the gate did not notice Ye Luo's existence at all.
It can be said that Ye Luo could almost walk in from the main entrance without any problem, but considering safety...Ye Luo still chose to climb over the wall.
Inside the city lord's palace is a courtyard. In the far side of the courtyard is a two-story carved attic, which does not form a spatial boundary of its own.
This was neither unexpected nor surprising to Ye Luo.
Although the monks in the Immortal Palace have higher levels of cultivation, there are also Holy Kings, Holy Lords and Holy Emperors above the Saints.
But similarly, the space in the Immortal Palace is also more solid. If you want to open up a new space here and form a world of its own, you have to be able to reach the sky and the earth!
"There seems to be someone in the attic...go take a look."
Ye Luo stood in the courtyard, his figure blending into the darkness, looking at the brightly lit second-story carved attic in the distance, and immediately walked towards the attic.
In the attic, the lights were bright, and there was a man half lying and half sitting on a big chair. There were two scantily clad and beautiful maids beside him, who were serving him wine and food, and they were all delicacies!
In front of this person, there are more than a dozen graceful women wearing light gauze clothes dancing gracefully!
Although there is a smile on the woman's face, if you look carefully, the smile always feels stiff.
"Dance more cheerfully for me, the Lord of the City. You are wearing too much, so take it off again!"
The person half lying on the big chair is naturally the Lord of Ningyun City. As the administrator of the imperial court in Ningyun City, he alone has the final say over the entire Ningyun City.
Having said that, this Ning Yun City Lord is not a good person. He doesn't care about the suffering of the people at all, and only cares about pleasure!
He has been in a very good mood recently. He has been holding singing and dancing parties like this for a month!
The reason is also very simple, that is, Zhuo Feng was captured by bandits!
This is the person he hates the most in the city!
I always had trouble getting along with him and was always in trouble with him.
"That guy Zhuo Feng is finally no longer in the city, and Ningyun City is now peaceful!"
City Lord Ningyun's face was covered with oil, and he was covered in alcohol, and he laughed wildly as he spoke!
"That guy Zhuo Feng always goes against the city lord. He deserves to be captured by the bandits!"
"How can you end up with a good outcome if you go against the city lord? If you want to blame it, it's Zhuo Feng who is blind. He dares to provoke anyone!"
"It's a pity that the bandits can't kill him, otherwise there will be permanent consequences!"
After hearing City Lord Ning Yun's words, everyone at the banquet immediately followed him.
"Hahaha..." After hearing these people's words, City Lord Ning Yun laughed wildly, even laughing to the point of tears. After a long time, he calmed down and said, "Why do you want to kill him? That's it.
Just lock him up for the rest of his life! If he dares to go against this city lord, I will let him lose his freedom for the rest of his life!"
City Lord Ning Yun thought very clearly about whether the bandits killed Zhuo Feng.
If Zhuo Feng is not killed, the bandits can even imprison him for the rest of his life, and City Lord Ning Yun will not have to take care of him.
If you don't suppress bandits, it's nothing in the Zhou Dynasty. Even most city lords do this.
But if the bandits killed Zhuo Feng, they would be considered as killing an official of the court. For the sake of face, the court would definitely send troops to suppress the bandits!
When the time comes, the task of suppressing the bandits will naturally fall on City Lord Ning Yun!
Therefore, keeping Zhuo Feng alive at this time is the best choice!
"The city lord is wise!"
"Drink, drink, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight!"
Hearing the words of City Lord Ning Yun, everyone was flattering again. Many people had already picked up their wine glasses and were ready to drink them all in one gulp!
These people, at best, are the aides of City Lord Ning Yun, but at worst, they are his lackeys!
Help him embezzle money and feed the common people!
"drink!"
Seeing this, City Lord Ning Yun laughed loudly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp!
After finishing the glass of wine, City Lord Ning Yun seemed to be unsatisfied and immediately pinched the buttocks of the beautiful woman beside him.
"Neither of you are allowed to leave tonight, this city wants a dragon and two phoenixes!"
City Lord Ning Yun smiled wildly, completely ignoring the reluctance between the eyebrows of the two beautiful women in front of him.
It was obvious that these two women had some objections to City Lord Ning Yun, but they did not dare to show it at all!
"It seems that City Lord Ning Yun is really not a good person."
At this moment, Ye Luo was lying on the roof with his breath hidden. He heard all the conversations between City Lord Ning Yun and others!
Regarding the fact that Zhuo Feng was captured by bandits, City Lord Ning Yun not only had no intention of reporting it to the court, he was even very happy!
Looking at his indulgent behavior, he doesn't seem to be a serious person. It would be extremely unlucky for the people of Ningyuncheng to have such a city lord.
"I'm afraid Zhuo Feng still doesn't know at this time that the reason why he was arrested by the people of Ningyun Village was because of the instructions of this city lord! If you dare to go against this city lord, this will be your fate!"
Then, City Lord Ning Yun Xu drank too much, and he was so drunk that he actually said something that shocked the entire audience!
