There are nine floors in Fenglou. The first floor is the most basic and has more people. Then the ninth floor is for ordinary people. And so on. The third floor is for the top masters and the second floor is for the most advanced people.
Normally, Du Ling would only be accompanied by people from the first floor of Fenglou, but those people were more than enough for ordinary people.
That time, Yelu Changqi offended Du Ling, so he went to complain to his uncle, and asked for more people. It happened that Fenglou had a personnel transfer, and there were not enough people on the first floor, so Zhongnan was assigned to him.

Everyone showed a very surprised expression. They didn't expect the fact to be like this. It was completely different from what they had heard before.
Chen Yan then remembered that the person who had previously told them that the city lord and Du Ling had a special relationship was just an unknown person.
This means that he most likely did it on purpose in order to sow discord between them and the city lord.
But what is that person's purpose? How would we know who they are?
After Shen Yan and his companions arrived here, they did not reveal their true identities. Even the shopkeeper only knew that they were officials appointed by the court.
"What is going on? Is someone taking advantage of us? If fortunately we know the truth in advance, do we still need to carry out our plan tonight?"
Lu Wan patted his chest and pretended to be scared. Fortunately, they learned the truth in advance, otherwise they would have no way to explain their rash actions tonight if they were caught by the city lord.
Yi Yun frowned, and then said with an unhappy look: "But if the city lord is not Du Lin's uncle, then why does he indulge him? Most of the things in the city are managed by him, why has Du Lin not been arrested for such a long time?"
Yi Yun was very puzzled. He learned from the previous shopkeeper that this was not the first time that Du Lin had bullied people. If the city lord was not his uncle, why would he ignore him?
"Perhaps it's because the city lord doesn't have time to take care of him. The housekeeper also said that he won't stay in the city forever."

After hearing Yi Yun's question, Chen Yan recalled everything they had seen in the City Lord's Mansion today.
By the way, I told them that the city lord was not as bad a guy as they imagined.
In fact, the people who really don’t know how to be grateful are the people in Fenyue City.
After Lu Wan and the others heard what Chen Yan and the others said, they were filled with disbelief. They had never expected the truth to be like this.
"But what has the city lord been busy with? He doesn't care about the affairs of the city and is often away from the city. It seems that it would be better to return the management rights of Fenyue City to the court. At least the court will send officials to manage these things here."
After hearing the whole story, Lu Wan couldn't help but sigh. The mayor of Fenyue City was truly a mysterious figure.
"Then what about us tonight..." Lu Daxin asked again. His original intention was not to continue the action in the evening.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it means that Du Lin has no relationship with the city lord, and there is no need for them to go to the city lord's mansion to look for some so-called evidence.
"That's all we can do. After all, it's not their fault. At most, we can say that the city lord neglected his duty. But this is their fiefdom after all. Even if the emperor came here, he would be embarrassed to interfere."
Lu Wan curled his lips and said, if he had known this would happen, he would have slept peacefully last night. Thinking about it again and again led him to have such a horrible nightmare.

Lu Daxin sighed and said, "Alas, a day was wasted in vain. Otherwise, we would have reached the border by tomorrow."
Everyone nodded, but it was already evening and it was getting late. If they set out at this time, they would definitely have to travel at night.
So they had to rest first. Everyone planned to set off early tomorrow morning. Chen Yan also called the shopkeeper and told him about checking out.
"Dear guests, what can I do for you?" The shopkeeper asked after being called by Chen Yan and the others. They had previously asked the shopkeeper about some matters in the City Lord's Mansion, so the shopkeeper was still a little cautious now.
"It's nothing, don't be afraid, shopkeeper. We just want to tell you that we will check out and leave tomorrow morning. We may leave early, so we told you in advance."
Seeing the shopkeeper's timid look, Lu Daxin smiled and said, taking out a bag of silver from his arms.
Knowing that the shopkeeper was not good at money, he only took out the money for the reserved rooms and put it in the shopkeeper's hands, and also took out an extra ingot of silver and gave it to him.
Lu Daxin smiled and said, "This is the food money we give you at this stage. We also know that the food you have given us during this period is of the best quality, much better than that of other guests. Please don't be polite and accept it!"
After hearing what Lu Daxin said, the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept the silver ingot and said with a smile.
"Dear guests, please don't be polite. If it weren't for you, this shop would have been demolished long ago. Thanks to you for saving me."
