Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"You can go now, the Lord City Lord has already investigated clearly, and you have been acquitted."

"Innocent?" Ryan looked at his hands, that is, the horse thief was stopped? Although I sent the letter to the wrong person, it was a good mistake.

He was ashamed to go back to Rime City, no, he didn't want to go back to Rime City at all. Ryan never thought that the horse thief was actually organized by Baron Omar.

Ryan was locked in the dungeon for eight days, he thought a lot, what kind of existence is a nobleman? Can wantonly trample on civilians? Treat civilians as cattle and sheep?

He is just a quasi-noble, not a real noble. He doesn't understand how the nobles do it. How dare Baron Omar do this?

Therefore, Ryan was confused. He didn't plan to go back to Limema City. As for where to go, he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Oh! Lizao, I'm so sorry for you."

Ryan looked at the dusk in the sky, and he was imprisoned for eight days. If nothing happened, he might sleep at home with Lizao in his arms. Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Baron Omar.

Ryan didn't know that Baron Omar was in the black mine now. After all, the capture of Baron Omar was a secret operation.

He was walking on the street, looking at the civilians with smiles on their faces and starting to clean up the dry wheat on the ground. It was already getting dark, but there was mist at night, and everyone was busy putting the wheat into sacks, and it would be dry for another day tomorrow. The warehouse is gone.

"That's great!" Ryan stood on the side of the street, watching all this silently, he didn't see the sorrow on the faces of those civilians.

This is unbelievable. You must know that although the autumn harvest of wheat can make the common people very happy, it also makes the common people very worried, because they have to pay the wheat tax. For example, the wheat tax in Lima City is 80%. Whenever the common people pay the tax, that face They were all tangled together, reluctantly paying the wheat tax.

"Hey! It really is you, Ryan Knight."

Suddenly, Ryan was patted on the shoulder. He turned around suspiciously and saw a familiar figure, a fat pig... er, it was fat Tori.

"It's Lord Tori, why are you here?" Ryan asked in surprise.

Ryan is often sent by Baron Omar to visit other cities, and North Wind City is a bustling city, and Ryan goes to North Wind City a lot, that's how he and Tori got to know each other.

"Hey... I didn't expect it was really a Knight of Ryan, why? I'm going to Xiyang City this time?" Tori said with a smile.

"It's really hard to say." Ryan said dejectedly.

"Huh? Are you on your mind?" Tori touched his big belly and said boldly, "Go, go to my house for a drink or two."

"This..." Ryan hesitated, thinking that he didn't know what to do, so he nodded and agreed, "Then I will bother you."

"Don't bother me, you are the first guest in my house." Tori said with a smile.

"Huh?" Ryan just came to his senses and asked quickly, "Your Excellency Tori, the home you just mentioned?"

"Yes, home." Tori looked at the civilians on both sides of the street, and said relaxedly, "I have given up the competition for the baronship of Beifeng City and decided to settle in Xiyang City."

"This..." Ryan opened his eyes slightly.

"Isn't it unbelievable?" Tori said calmly with a relaxed pace, "After you get to know this city, you should have the same idea as me."

"Ah?" Ryan was slightly stunned. What kind of answer is this? Is this city special?

Along the way, Tori talked with Ryan, and it took ten minutes to arrive at Tori's house.

"Your Excellency Tori, is this your home?" Ryan looked at the two-story building in front of him in astonishment.

The gray and white exterior of the building looks boxy and nothing special. It doesn't look like a place where nobles live.

"The second floor is my home, but it has more than 200 square meters. It is one of the few relatively large houses in Xiyang City."

The fat on Tori's face trembled, and he said proudly, "I only approved the purchase after I asked Mr. Liu Feng."

"Uh..." Ryan was completely dumbfounded. When would a nobleman need approval to buy a house? And it's just a 200-square-meter house.

"Xiyang City is different from other cities. You will be surprised when you understand it." Tori chuckled.

Chapter 0167 The gourmet food in the world is in the Santo Mansion.

Surprised? Ryan is very surprised now, what kind of charm makes a noble give up the competition for the title of nobility? Actually came here to settle down.

Ryan knew it. Don't look at the fat man next to him smiling all the time. In fact, Tori is also a proud and arrogant person. He wouldn't move to Xiyang City to settle down unless he was really impressed.

"Come on, let's go up." Tori walked into the building first.

Under Ryan's surprised gaze, Tori took out a small piece of iron, and inserted it into the small crack on the doorknob.

"Crack!"

The door opened, and Ryan followed Tori. Opening the door was a staircase, which went up to the second floor.

"Crack!"

"Come in, this is my home." Tori went in first, then took off his shoes, and walked on the floor.

"okay!"

Take off your shoes when you enter the door? This is really strange, but Ryan still followed suit, taking off his shoes and stepping on the smooth wooden floor, but bare feet are really comfortable.

He glanced around and found that the room was really exquisite. The walls were very smooth and there were a few paintings hanging on them.

"came back."

Tori's wife also knew Ryan, and said with a chuckle, "Welcome Knight Ryan to be a guest."

"Excuse me!" Ryan quickly saluted.

"Aren't there meat buns left at noon? Go heat them up and get two bottles of barley wine." Tori ordered.

"Okay!" The wife replied.

Tori came to the dining room to sit down and greeted, "Knight Ryan, come and sit here."

"OK."

Ryan sat at the dining table a little restrained, and now he found that this house was even more exquisite and beautiful than Baron Omar's house.

"Isn't the house beautiful?" Tori waved his hand.

"It's beautiful, even more beautiful than the houses of many city lords." Ryan praised.

"Hahahaha... I think so too." Tori laughed boldly and said mysteriously, "There are not many houses like this in the whole of Xiyang City."

"Huh?" Ryan was stunned and said in astonishment, "Is this house still there?"

"There should be seven or eight more rooms, and we can only get them through connections." Tori chuckled lightly.

"It's expensive, isn't it?"

Ryan thought that there were still seven or eight such houses, his eyes flickered, and he was a little moved. People would feel comfortable living in such a house, simple and not messy.
