After pondering for a long time, Zhaoming still didn't react, and finally Grushi stepped forward to ask what to do now.

Almost at the same time as he spoke, Zhaoming pulled out the silver sword left behind by his brother Ryan, and the light reflected from the blade flashed into the eyes of everyone present, making them feel a wave of fear.

In the days they had spent with the lord, they had never felt such a terrifying murderous aura on Zhaoming.

There was still silence in the lord's office, looking at Zhaoming's sword, everyone wondered if the lord was ready to use violent means? Are you planning to directly solve this guy who has been spoiling the situation?

Most of them are looking forward to it happening, sweeping away the frustration in their hearts.

But Zhaoming just looked out the window with a sword in his hand and was stunned, although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to step forward and say anything more.

At this time, Lesio recklessly broke in and brought another piece of bad news.

"My lord, Haradin is interfering with the construction of the aqueduct!"

The simple architect was completely unaware of the wrong atmosphere in the room, and Grouchy really wanted to stop him, the current situation really couldn't irritate the lord anymore.

But now that Lesio has come in, it's up to him to say it now.

Ask for more blessings, Lesio, Grushi thought, and looked worriedly at Zhaoming's tall back, hoping that the lord would not be stimulated.

"Tell me, what's the situation?" Zhaoming said unexpectedly calmly.

Gasping for breath, Lesio told him what he had seen today, and it turned out that Haradin had sent a notice to all the villages today: all those who helped to build the canal must pay the taxes owed to Haradin, and if anyone abandoned his land to help Haradin "weed", he would be rewarded with 15 copper coins a day......

Those present were furious as they heard Lesio's story.

In this way, Haradin forced the farmers not to participate in the construction of the canals, thus affecting the grain harvest. And once this year's grain production is reduced, the peasants can only exchange grain from him at a high price, and the few copper coins he spends will soon be earned back by him with the high-priced grain.

What a hate! Since Zhaoming became Lord of Black Rock, he has been working hard for the welfare of the people, but he has been repeatedly blocked by Haradin.

Thinking of this, even the always calm Grouchy couldn't stand this kind of grievance.

"My lord, if we are going to use the last resort, please make up your mind!" Grouchy said firmly.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhaoming, expecting him to give an order, but Zhaoming put away his sword, and the murderous aura on his body gradually became thinner.

"The Black Rock Guard has just been formed, and it can't be moved lightly at this time."

Zhaoming turned around and said in frustration, he told everyone that if he really wanted to fight hard, he himself would not be worthy of Haradin.

But everything must consider the consequences, Haradin's power is deeply entrenched in Black Rock, although it is unlikely to threaten Zhaoming himself, but the people under him will definitely have an accident.

After thinking for a long time, Zhaoming moved to his seat and looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally gave an order to Groushi: "Tell me to appoint a governor to manage Black Rock City for me. ”

Hearing the lord's order, everyone couldn't believe it.

Zhaoming's image in their hearts has always been that he is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and wise, and can solve any challenges he faces, but what is going on now, is he going to bow to Haradin now?

The appointment of a Governor would be tantamount to relinquishing the dominion of Black Rock City, and this was definitely not a choice that the Shomen would make!.

"My lord! It can't be like this! ”

"We have other ways, we can't compromise with him!"

His men anxiously persuaded that they would never want Zhaoming to make such a choice.

Looking at the anxious looks of his subordinates, Zhaoming just waved his hand to let them out, wanting to calm down for a while.

Although everyone was indignant, they could only retreat helplessly.

As soon as everyone left, Zhaoming bounced up from his seat and slammed his fist against the wall.

"Damn!"

He had already made up his mind to bring down Haradin, but he didn't expect Haradin to come to such a move, and now the plan had to be adjusted, and as for the appointment of the governor, it was just a cover-up.

Thinking of his subordinates, who were also kept in the dark, Zhaoming felt a little guilty - in order to make the play more realistic, he temporarily concealed everything.

And the first thing he needs to do now is to contact his ally Trisda, and if he wants to achieve his goal, he can't do without the help of this girl.

In the town hall, the clerks felt powerless about the current situation.

Because of Haradin's deliberate misuse, it is difficult to continue a lot of work in Black Rock City, but they have no ability to change the status quo.

Kaeya was frustrated, he had always wanted to repay the lord's weight, but he never had a chance.

But just as he inadvertently looked out the window, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Look!"

Kaeya exclaimed, and everyone looked out the window, but they didn't expect a large group of people to gather outside the town hall at some point.

Gru felt uneasy at the crowd. But he is sophisticated, and he told everyone not to panic and go and see for themselves.

Grouchy walked out of the town hall under the worried gaze of everyone and said to the gathered crowd, "I am the lord's assistant, why are you gathered here?" “

One of the leaders stepped forward and recounted the evil deeds of Haradin, which Grouchy had known for a long time, and the crowd behind him begged the lord to deal with the matter.

"We're forced to live anymore, please help us, Lord Lord!"

The voices of the people prayed one after another, and Grouchy was helpless, and now that the reaction of the people was so fierce, I don't know how they would react if the appointment of the governor was made public.

In the end, Groushi's mouth was almost worn out before he calmed the emotions of the crowd and told them to go home first and wait for news.

After returning to the town hall, Grouchy slumped limply in his chair.

He wanted to report what had just happened to the lord, hoping that Zhaoming, who loved the people like a son, would be motivated by this, but he saw his lord leading the horse and was about to leave.

Grouchy asked puzzledly: "My lord, what are you going to do here, you have a lot of ...... just now"

Grouchy hadn't had time to report what had just happened to Zhaoming, but the latter was clearly not interested in listening to him.

"Tell everyone to disperse, I'll go out for a walk."

Zhaoming's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Grouchy couldn't understand what made his lord so decadent, no matter what kind of means Haradin used, Zhaoming shouldn't be like this!

Zhao Ming knew the disappointment and doubt in his heart, but he didn't explain too much, just ordered no one to follow him, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone sighed helplessly, and some of his subordinates asked Grouch what to do now, and Grouchy could only let everyone disperse according to Zhaoming's order, and asked Leila to post the announcement of the appointment of the governor.

After everyone dispersed, the maid Elusa sat nervously in Zhaoming's room and waited.

Today's owner is so abnormal, compared to the usual is simply two people.

Originally, she had already cleaned the house that Zhaoming had planned, and they were going to move in two days, but now something like this happened......

Elusa squeezed her hands nervously, silently praying in her heart that her master would be cheered up soon.

But Zhaoming is now speeding all the way, rushing towards the place agreed with Trisda.

Haradin, you'll soon learn the consequences of angering a knight.

Zhaoming thought as he took out Trisda's necklace from his arms.

The horse's hooves slammed into the grass, as if to vent their frustration.

After arriving at the tree he had agreed with Trisda, Zhaoming dismounted and hung the necklace on the treetops, then turned away to avoid arousing suspicion.

Trisda, who was far away in Haradin's house, saw it all with a small telescope.

It just so happened to be seen that it was not them who had a heart, but Trisda, who had been paying attention to Zhaoming's movements.

When Trisda saw that Zhaoming had signaled to meet as promised, the usually reserved girl almost screamed in excitement.

But she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and when she looked out, she found that it was her uncle who was reprimanding his subordinates.

Haradin scolded the disheveled maid on the ground with anger on his face, and the maid could only hold back her tears to meet Haradin's anger.

"You have sold yourself as a, what are you pretending to be reserved here!"

This maid was forced to sell herself because she couldn't pay her debts, and she had just angered her lord because she didn't want to go to bed.

Seeing that Haradin's big hand slapped on the girl's face again and again, turning the originally white and tender face red and swollen, Trisda hurriedly walked up and stopped Haradin.

"Uncle, this girl is not sensible, you don't want to be like her."

Seeing that her beautiful niece came up to persuade her, Haradin slowly stopped her anger.

At the persuasion of her niece, Haradin went back to her room and put out the fire, while Trisda took the girl to her room.

The girl's eyes were full of grievances, Trisda took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and the girl said to Trisda gratefully: "Miss, it would be nice if you were the master here, the master always beats and scolds us at every turn." ”

The more the girl spoke, the more excited she became, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Trisda took the girl in her arms and comforted her like a bosom sister.

This is exactly what Trisda wants, and she has been showing favors to Haradin's men lately in order to be able to take over Haradin's business. Almost everyone now has a crush on Trisda, but only fear and resentment are left for Haradin.
