I couldn't sleep all night, and the next day Zhaoming and Elusa both felt a little embarrassed.

However, Zhaoming still has something to do, so it is inconvenient to deal with Harry Jo in other ways, and just tells Grouch to be optimistic about him.

In the conference room, several people had a brief morning meeting, and Zhao Ming explained the work of the past two days as if nothing happened.

The new clerks have begun to work, and the government agencies in Black Rock City are officially up and running.

The maid Elusa, who had been waiting beside her, was very nervous, and Zhaoming had been cold to her since last night.

But what worries her even more is her disobedient brother.

"Okay, let's take someone to evacuate the residents first, and we're going to build the barracks for the guards."

Hearing the lord's order, Kaeya nodded, his new colleague Grouchy's professional ability brought him a great sense of oppression, and he didn't want to live up to the lord's trust in him.

Zhaoming then ordered Leila and several administrative officers to take stock of the arsenal's equipment.

Speaking of which, Zhaoming had to thank the magistrate of the Tranya Kingdom, after disbanding the security forces on the spot, only those valuable things were removed, and the weapons and equipment were left in the arsenal intact.

"Alright, Vanessa come to my office, and the others should hurry up and get busy!"

Zhaoming gave an order, and everyone immediately entered the working state.

Only Elusa was still absent-minded, and her mind was full of what to do with her brother.

Even the master and the secretary didn't care when they were alone in the office, and secretly came to the cellar to check on Haricho.

With a creak, Haricho, exhausted from being trapped in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, finally saw a glimmer of light seeping through.

"Sister!"

The young man looked excitedly at his sister, his eyes full of tears.

Looking at her younger brother's appearance, Elusa, who wanted to scold him, finally didn't have a mouthful.

As for whether Harry Jo bullied Zhaoming about himself, Elusa patiently explained to him.

Listening to his sister's words, Harry Jo slowly lowered his head.

In fact, his dislike for Zhaoming is entirely because his sister was dedicated to Zhaoming.

Now knowing how the lord had treated his sister, young Harry Joe felt a little guilty.

Just then, Barnett, the cook, came walking with a plate of bread.

Alusa was taken aback, and she hurriedly begged her aunt not to tell her master about her visit to her brother.

But Barnett laughed and told Lord Elusa that she had guessed.

"Oh, the lord asked me to bring it, let your brother eat it!"

Barnett handed over the plate in his hand, and Harrijo, who was already hungry, devoured it.

Elusa breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zhaoming should not do anything to his brother, but he doesn't know when he will be released.

On the other side, Zhaoming and his secretary were busy in the office for a while.

Vanessa wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she looked at the large pile of forms and notices in her hands.

"My lord, do we really need to get so many documents at once?" Vanessa said with tears in her voice.

Zhaoming nodded, the previous sheriff had left too much work behind, and if the government wanted to resume operation as soon as possible, it must be disposed of as soon as possible.

Fortunately, with the help of Grouchy and many of the politicians, they were now both dealing with matters of great importance.

For example, Zhaoming has now found a number of lawsuits with the same content, all of which are related to illegal usury operated by Haradin.

It is said that this black-hearted businessman entangled a group of ruffians and hooligans as thugs and forcibly collected debts everywhere. And because of the connivance of the former magistrates, Haradin can be described as lawless.

This guy, my lord, I promise you won't be able to jump for a few days!

At the same moment, Kaeya and his party who were heading to the abandoned area ran into trouble.

Originally, they went to the abandoned area to evacuate the people there to make room for the construction of barracks.

But unexpectedly, a group of hooligans suddenly rushed out and surrounded them, led by a short and fat man.

"What are you going to do!" The short and fat man shouted loudly, and Kaeya and the others were instantly suppressed by his ferocious appearance.

Seeing that the other party was surrounding, Kaeya forcibly strengthened his courage and said, "Lord Lord is going to build a project here, and the idle people should leave quickly!" ”

Hearing the lord, the short and fat man laughed fiercely, and the large group of hooligans around him also laughed.

"What lord? This is our territory, and if we want to move somewhere, we have to do this! ”

The stocky man spoke, gesturing with his hand to take the money.

Although Kaeya was angry, the other party was overwhelming, and he could only forcibly endure and reason.

"This is obviously the land of the previous government, not to mention the forcible occupation and destruction everywhere, it is already good that the lord did not punish you!"

Unexpectedly, the short and fat man directly punched Kaeya after hearing this, and Kaeya couldn't dodge the opponent's solid punch.

"Ahh How dare you! ”

Kaeya slowly retreated from her injured left eye, with only four or five government officials behind her, and at least a few dozen hooligans around the stocky man.

The short and fat man said viciously: "I don't care about any bullshit lord, if you want us to change places, obediently take the money!" “

Saying that, he was about to let the little brothers rush up, and Kaeya saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately retreated with everyone.

And in the tavern just down the street, a group of people were talking about the lord's recruitment of the guards.

"Eh, the lord's treatment this time is very good, do any of you be interested?"

"No, no, I still have my own little life to live, and I don't have time to go."

During the conversation, the people in the tavern turned their eyes to a sturdy man in the corner who looked a little wooden.

"Hey, old Cooper, aren't you going to join the army to make money to pay off your wine debts?" The tavernkeeper, wiping his plate, asked loudly.

Old Cooper stood up when he heard this, and his iron-like muscles were displayed in front of everyone.

"Boss, bring another pot of wine, and I'll pay it back when I join the army and receive the salary!"

Old Cooper's voice was thick and powerful, shaking the otherwise lifeless tavern.

The tavernkeeper placed a jug of ale in front of Old Cooper, who took it up and drank it down, and then walked out of the tavern without looking back.

On the other side, Kaeya, who had finally returned to the town hall, was sitting in a chair panting.

Zhaoming looked at his swollen eyes with heartache, and after learning the ins and outs of what had happened, he comforted Kaeya and told him to rest.

Immediately afterward, he rejected Groushi's offer to find a new way and decided to take care of the hooligans himself.

Groushi persuaded hard: "My lord, I know that you have the ability to reach the sky, but those guys are ...... behind them"

Grouch stopped talking, knowing that he wanted to say that Haradin was behind the group, but so what?

"Grouchy, you weren't afraid of him yesterday, why are you afraid today?"

Grouchy explained that the two things were different, but Akira ignored him and rode straight towards his goal.

Seeing that he could not persuade the lord, Grouch had to call all the men in the town hall to follow.

On the other side of the abandoned area, the stocky man was leaning against the dirty wall with his eyes closed.

The little brother on the side came over and asked, "Boss, after this thing is completed, how much reward can we get from the master?" ”

The short and fat man said slowly: "Don't worry, Lord Haradin will not treat everyone badly, as long as he can kill the majesty of the lord, 50 copper coins per person!" ”

In fact, Haradin gave them 100 copper coins each, but half of them were secretly collected by the short and fat man.

Just as they were happy, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

The hooligans hurriedly stood up and gathered together, hoping to be strong and strong.

The knight on the horse galloped towards the hooligans, and the short and fat man tried to hold his ground, but Zhaoming had no intention of stopping.

"Ahh

Just one moment before the dark horse collided with the crowd, the Shadow used its bouncing power to pass directly over the heads of the hooligans.

Zhaoming landed on the ground steadily, but the hooligans were frightened. Many people scattered and fled, but many more fell to the ground.

"Stupid, you stepped on me!"

The short and fat man struggled to crawl out of the pile of younger brothers, but just happened to see the black horse's head staring at him less than 10 centimeters from his face.

The man, who had never seen such a fierce beast, crawled backwards in fear, and Zhaoming came to him unhurriedly, and said to the panicked man, "Are you their head?" “

The short and fat man nodded, already in a cold sweat.

Zhaoming rode around him twice, looking at the tattered clothes he was wearing, but he gave his life to Haradin, who wore gold and silver, and Zhaoming really wanted to scold him for being stupid.

However, he still suppressed his temper and pretended to be pleasant and said: "This place was originally the land of the government, and you should have punished you for destroying it like this, for the sake of my magnanimity, if you leave quickly, I will not be held responsible." ”

But the short and fat man suddenly became angry, after all, someone was supporting him behind him, he completely ignored the embarrassment just now, and said confidently with his waist crossed.

"Our brothers have been living here for a long time, and you told us to move if you told us to move, and you didn't let people live?"

As he spoke, the man waved and shouted to attract the attention of everyone around him.

Seeing this, the rest of the younger brothers also made a fuss, and soon attracted a large number of onlookers.

Zhaoming looked at them indifferently, but didn't react in any way.

Seeing that more and more people are gathering, there is also an obese person in the crowd, who is none other than Haradin, the initiator!

Hum! Tell you kid to play with me, and let you see the master's methods!

However, Zhaoming didn't notice him, just thinking about when it was best to make a move.

In the current situation, if you force the hooligans to leave, you will definitely leave a bad reputation. If it was to spend money to resettle them, it would be unacceptable to Zhaoming. As for not moving, it is even more impossible, he has already issued a notice, and if he changes because of a few little hooligans, his majesty will be greatly damaged.

There seems to be no way out, but that's just for others.

Haradin knows that Zhaoming is magical, and he is unstoppable by force, but what can you do in public?
