Chapter 1379: Hostage Exchange
Therefore, even before noon of the second day, the whole of Nan Zhou City was already in an uproar.
Furthermore, with Yibao Commerce Guild intentionally seeking to vindicate Ye Luo, the gossip quickly spread far and wide.
Of course, this gossip was actually speaking the truth!
"Hey, have you heard? The Junior City Lord colluded with the traitors of the Nalan Family, scheming to seize the Nalan Family’s wealth, and even wanted to force the Nalan Family’s eldest daughter to become his concubine!"
"Isn’t that the truth? Can it be that the person executing such acts is our Junior City Lord? Such a disgrace; with the City Lord being so divinely martial, how could he have such an unfilial and rebellious son!"
"Let’s not discuss these matters, they are not for us to comment on. However, I’ve heard that today at noon, that Ye Luo will take the Junior City Lord to the City Lord’s Mansion for a hostage exchange. It remains to be seen whether this is true or not!"
"What’s true or not? The city gates are already completely sealed off by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, do you really think this could be false?"
With people discussing, the power of rumors is formidable. By noon, virtually everyone in Nan Zhou City was aware of the incident, and many had even gathered at the city gates, ready to watch the show unfold!
At noon, Ye Luo, along with the Junior City Lord, driving their grand carriage, arrived at the city gates. This time, whether it was Nalan Rou or Lu Yi, Ye Luo did not let them disembark; instead, he deliberately had the carriage modified to be drawn by four horses, as he had his own plans in mind.
Soon, a squad of guards from the City Lord’s Mansion appeared, escorting the traitors of the Nalan Family and carrying Nalan Chen with them.
"Boy, we have brought the people as you demanded, will you not release the Junior City Lord now?"
A chief officer from the City Lord’s Mansion shouted at Ye Luo, as the two parties were at a certain distance from each other, making it impossible to talk quietly.
