Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 105 The new owner’s debut

The old housekeeper was tied down and kept shouting, asking Hardy not to tie him in front of Mrs. Sissi, at least to give him some dignity.

 Two local officials were shivering and wiping sweat away.

Hadi's heart-wrenching move made the two of them extremely scared.

Hardy’s eyes fell on the two officials, and they subconsciously straightened their bodies and tried to behave as well as possible.

“What kind of punishment do you want?” Hardy asked as he spread honey on the bread.

 The two local officials did not dare to speak.

"The three of you have managed the entire city of Hukaro for sixteen years without any trouble, and you have worked hard without any merit. According to my personal opinion, it is not a big deal to reward each of you with one or two hundred gold coins."

 The two officials were overjoyed when they heard this.

“However, taking something without telling is considered stealing.” Hardy thought for a while and said, “What you stole is the owner’s property, let alone something that shouldn’t be done.”

 The two officials looked sad.

Hardy thought for a while and said, "I remember that among the family rules of Jeanne's family, there is a kind of whipping."

The Sheriff bravely said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, there is indeed one."

Hardy nodded and said: "I thought of a way. One gold coin counts for one lash. You guys stole about 190 gold coins. I am a kinder person, so I will give you 180 lashes."

 Hearing this number, both of them collapsed on the ground.

Generally speaking, if the punishment is more than twenty lashes in a row, a person will be killed. A hundred and eighty lashes will directly kill someone.

Looking at the desperate two people, Hadi smiled and continued: "Don't worry, you two will not die. One hundred and eighty lashes will be carried out in one month, six lashes every day, you can handle it."

 Hearing this, the expressions of the two men relaxed a little.

After a short while, the financial officer asked cautiously: "Sir, do we need to pay back the gold coins we received from bribes?"

"Forget it, I'm a generous person, just think that this is your hard work for managing Hukaro City for sixteen years." Hardy finished eating the bread and his expression turned cold: "But if it happens again, the consequences will be You understand."

 As his strength has improved, he can now use some abilities that can only be used in nightmare form.

 For example, a weakened version of fear aura.

 The two local officials were already very scared, but once they were shrouded in this aura of fear, they felt that Hardy was even more intimidating.

 It is as if a **** of death is standing in front of him, ready to take away his life at any time.

"For the next month, I will go to the center of the city every day at noon to receive the whipping." Hardy looked at Rogge and said, "You will supervise the execution. You must make them feel the pain and it will not affect them the next day. normal life.”

 Rogge nodded.

 The two local officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

 Six lashes a day, which is within what they can bear.

After the two local officials helped each other and left, Hardy said: "Roger, you have collected and recorded the ashes of the brothers."

 When talking about this matter, Rogge's expression that was quite happy just now also became disappointed.

Two hundred brothers set out from Hexi County happily, but now there are a group of people missing.

Although the owner has given enough pensions and subsidies, if the person is gone, he is gone after all.

“Some of the pension amounts have not yet been calculated, and some brothers who are less able to move are still recuperating.”

"I understand. You stay here for a month first. When the whipping is over and the seriously injured brothers have almost recovered, you can lead dozens of brothers and **** the brothers with limited mobility back home." Hardy thought for a while and said: "By the way, we will also take their pension back to their families. No matter what, we have to take the person back, even if he turns into a small jar."

 Rogge nodded.

"You have a lot to do recently." Hardy sighed and said: "I have too few people at my disposal, so I can only work hard for you." Rogge knelt down on one knee in emotion: "No hard work, everything for me It’s all given by the master, and it’s what I should do.”

 He himself was born as a tenant farmer of the Hardy family, and his loyalty is unquestionable.

The next day, a high platform was erected in the square in the center of the city.

 Two well-known local officials were escorted to a high platform with their upper body naked, and then each of them was whipped six times, leaving red marks.

Although it is very painful, it is still within the range that adults can tolerate.

From then on, every day, whether it was windy, rainy or scorching hot, the two local officials would be taken to the high platform and whipped six times at noon.

This whipping not only hit the two local officials, but also hit the hearts of all the "gentry" in Hukaro City.

 After the incident lasted for a month, everyone in Hukaro City knew one thing.

 The new owner is here!

  And very harsh.

 After that, Hardy’s estate received a lot of invitations.

 They were all received with help from Rogge.

On this day, Rogge placed several invitations in front of Hardy's table.

Hadi ignored the invitations and said: "Tomorrow, you will **** the brothers back to Hexi City. At the same time, you will also recruit some people at home and from the mountain people to maintain an army of two hundred people."

 Rogge nodded.

Hardy thought for a while and continued: "In addition, inform my butler Jack and the head maid to ask them to come to Hukaro City to help. You are responsible for escorting them."

Rogge wrote this down.

“Also, as I promised before, brothers who are willing to naturalize in Hukaro City can bring their relatives with them. Only brothers who participated in the battle can have this treatment.”

This matter is very important and is one of the benefits of Hadi's army.

Rogge immediately became excited: "Master, don't worry, I will supervise them well and won't let anyone fool them."

 The next day, Rogge left with dozens of soldiers and several carriages carrying disabled soldiers.

 Hardy went to the best hotel in the city.

This is also the property left by Mrs. Sissi back then. It belongs to the Lord's Mansion. Naturally, it is Hardy's property.

This is a first-class hotel. At this time, the main hall on the first floor is already full of people, nearly sixty people.

There were uniformly dressed bartenders busy around.

 The group of people were whispering.

The treasurer and the sheriff also came, but they looked awkward.

Everyone looked at them strangely, with a bit of amusement.

There was nothing I could do. I was flogged for a month in public and it was a shame. Isn’t it normal?

 After a while, Hardy walked in from outside.

Everyone stopped talking, and the hotel suddenly became quiet.

Hardy walked to the main seat and sat down. He looked at the 'gentry' in front and said with a smile: "I am very happy to have so many people here. As the new owner of Hukaro City, I invite everyone here because I want to talk to you all. Let’s talk about the future of Hukaro City.”
