When Viscount Dickens introduced an official to Abel, the official would bow to Abel as a sign of respect for him, but Abel felt a strange atmosphere, as if there was a tacit understanding between each of the officials here.

"Viscount Dickens, leave all the accounts and the handover of the property to my butler Bartoli, I don't have to ask about these matters, just leave the handover of the army of Harvest City to me!" Abel said with a wave of his hand.

"I will take the place of my master in the transfer of accounts and inheritance!" Bartoli gently untied the burqa from her body, revealing a white robe inside, not ornate, but precious silk robes.

"What, we're going to hand over with a butler, or a housekeeper!" Steward Aized exclaimed as if he had been greatly insulted, and looked at his old master, Viscount Dickens, he didn't intend to stay in Harvest City, he wanted to leave with Viscount Dickens, so he was very disgusted with the earl in front of him handing over to him with a housekeeper, and felt undignified.

But at this time, Viscount Dickens did not look at him, but looked at the double staff badge on Bartoli's chest with some horror.

Although the officials present are not low in Harvest City, they are not very knowledgeable, maybe wizards are a kind of legend to them, but Viscount Dickens is different, he knows the wizard badge, in the entire Principality of Kamai, there are only three wizards who are actually stationed all year round, and there is only one intermediate wizard.

And Abel's housekeeper turned out to be a middle-level wizard, and he vaguely felt that leaving Harvest City this time would be a bad decision, perhaps the most wrong choice he had ever made in his life.

"Bartoli, look for the information of this Ezel steward, see if he is an honest official, if so, then forgive him, if not, insult a mid-level wizard, you can deal with it directly!" Abel glanced at Ezed's steward and said lightly.

Abel didn't have time to deal with the dirty affairs of the officials, he used a particularly simple and crude method, long before coming to Harvest City to take over the territory, he had asked the Kingdom of St. Ellis to send an intelligence organization to investigate all the officials in Harvest City.

If it was an ordinary person's request, the Kingdom of St. Ellis would definitely ignore it and even be very annoyed, but Abel's request caused the empire to dispatch the state apparatus and conduct a detailed investigation of all the officials in Harvest City.

The official's life, work, family, income, and everything else became no longer intimate in front of the most terrible intelligence organization of the empire.

Of course, Abel didn't even look at the results of these investigations, and handed them all over to Bartoli, as a countess who had managed a rich territory, it was the most appropriate choice for her to temporarily take over the management of Harvest City.

"Steward Azede, who has a wife, six lovers, two sons, and twelve illegitimate sons, during his tenure as the steward of the grain depot in Harvest City, privately resold 1,532 tons of grain for a total of 56,000 gold coins!" Bartoli said aloud as she took out a stack of parchment from her parchment bag and found one from it.

At this time, the steward of Azede was pale, his whole body was weak, he hadn't even told his family about these private reselling of grain, how could the new housekeeper know.

"Lord Viscount Dickens, I have been wronged, you must save me!" Steward Aized looked at his only savior, Viscount Dickens, but Viscount Dickens remained silent.

Unlike Steward Aized, who was already panicked, the other officials present could see very clearly, just a little touch of Butler Bartoli on his waist, a large stack of parchment appeared in his hand, which was far beyond their imagination.

It seems that this Bartoli butler has abilities that they don't know about, and they don't know what they are, but when something is beyond their knowledge, fear becomes the only manifestation.

"Steward Aized, I can tell you one thing for sure, even His Royal Highness King Algernon George would not dare to refute what this lady Bartoli said!" Viscount Dickens glanced at Steward Aized in disgust, Steward Aized had done so many things behind his back, and even had the face to beg him.

"Steward Azede, all your possessions will be confiscated, and you will be sent to a labor camp until you die!" Bartoli said coldly.

"No, please, I'm willing to hand over all my possessions, please let me go!" said Steward Azeid, who sat limp on the ground, his clothes wet with tears.

"Drag it on!" Abel said in a deep voice.

Two knights walked in from outside the door and grabbed Azed's steward and carried him out like chickens.

At this time, there was silence in the hall, and the rest of the officials were frightened, who has been an official for so many years, who has nothing to do, is there a record of his own in the stack of parchment?

"Bartoli, you continue to hand over, if there is any more trouble, you can deal with it directly!" Abel instructed Bartoli, then turned to look at Viscount Dickens and said, "Viscount Dickens, where is the elite team of knights of Harvest City now?"

"Earl Aearl, these four around me are the four senior knights of the army, the original commander was the senior knight of Saloyan, but he has left Harvest City, so this army is temporarily managed by these four senior knights, and the army is in the barracks in the city at this time!" said Viscount Dickens as he introduced the four senior knights around him to Abel.

"Senior Knight of Saloyan, he is a meritorious knight, he has become a commander in the past two years, but it's a pity that he left, or he can get together!" Abel said with a sigh.

The senior knights of Saloyan were knighted with him and Lord Marshall back then, and they were all knighted for military exploits, so he was more impressed.

"Four knights, for the time being, you still manage the army!" Abel commanded the four senior knights.

The four high-ranking knights looked at Abel with a kind of admiration from the beginning, they didn't know that the new earl was Abel, and no one in the entire harvest city knew about it, and until now only a few people knew.

When the four high-ranking knights found out about this, the excitement in their hearts could not be expressed, because Abel was the pride of the entire Harvest City, and people used to say that it was a place where food was produced, but now they would say that it was Grandmaster Abel's hometown.

At this time, when he heard Abel's words, he bowed down and said in unison: "I am willing to serve the earl!"

On the other hand, Bartoli's handover was very simple, an official stepped forward to take a book of accounts in his hand to introduce the situation, and Bartoli was also holding a parchment in his hand looking at the information in his hand, as long as there was a slight mistake in the official's speech, she would glance at the official with cold eyes, and the official would immediately replace it with the actual number.

The official's report was soon over, and Bartoli looked at the account book in front of him with a calm face, and did not make a sound, everything in Harvest City was not ideal, there was a large deficit, needless to say in the granary, the stewards were all arrested, and it was seen that the confiscated family production capacity could not be worth the deficit.

And from all aspects of people's livelihood there are many problems, it seems that Viscount Dickens is not a managerial talent, or just a strong force to guard here, but force is not the same as management ability.

"Everyone, I can not blame the past, but you have also seen the strength of my master, as long as you do things well, my master will naturally be rewarded, but if anyone dares to reach out indiscriminately, then no one can save you!" Bartoli raised her head and put the account book back on the table and said without anger.

The officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, the pile of parchment just now was too stressful, and Bartoli's words made them feel like they were dead and resurrected.

"That's all for today, everyone will work hard when they go back!" said Bartoli with a wave of his hand.

The officials bowed and quickened their steps away from the terrible hall, away from the terrible housekeeper.

"This Lord Earl is also too ruthless, as soon as he comes, he will take Aized to the knife, it seems that everyone will have to unite in the future, or we will have a hard time in Harvest City!" said Administrator Noyce, the highest-ranking of all the officials, as he walked and looked at his colleagues beside him.

The steward of the armory, Ismen, showed a hint of mockery, he glanced at the administrator Noyce and said, "Administrator Neuss, you may not have heard the name of the Earl of Freshness, his name is Abel!"
