After Cooper left, Zhaoming continued to return to the previous case to continue his work.

He was working on a plan, and now he has been in Black Rock for a few days, taking this opportunity to make a plan for future construction.

The quill streaked across the slightly yellowed paper, and a grand blueprint was conceived in Zhaoming's head.

After this was accomplished, with the support of Trisda's promise, many things that were previously unimaginable due to financial constraints can now become reality.

The appointed time gradually passed, and for the two days Haradin stayed in his mansion. Looking at the steady stream of coins coming to his door, the fat man happily poured wine into his mouth while holding his maid.

"Hah! What lord, he is not my opponent at all, just a little trick to let him give up the position of governor! ”

Although he had already said such presumptuous words, he still smiled and asked the maid in his arms who was more powerful than Zhaoming.

Although the maid was displeased, she could only force out a smile and said, "Of course it's the master!" ”

……

In the town hall, in the past few days, without the presence of the lord, Groushi has relied on his rich experience to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Although there are great obstacles, the work is still progressing in an orderly manner.

In the face of the inquiries of his subordinates and Elusa about the lord, he could only say that the matter was very important, and he could not tell them for the time being.

Elusa sat in Zhaoming's room bored, she had encountered countless troubles in the past few days.

First, the master was nowhere to be found, and then he learned that his younger brother did not listen to the dissuasion and joined the Black Rock Guard, and his father Chrysler was also persecuted by Haradin because of the appointment of the lord......

Many worries grasped the heart of this weak girl like a big hand, and she was restless for days and nights.

In the boring and boring time, she could only mess up and refold the master's bedding again and again to pass the time......

It's been three days since Hadadin launched a commercial strike, and the residents of Black Rock haven't seen the lord come out to inspect the territory as usual.

Zhaoming's inaction made the already arrogant Haradin relax his vigilance.

Since the news of the imminent appointment of the governor spread, Haradin symbolically "lowered" the prices of goods, somewhat relieving the immediate needs of the inhabitants.

A man in a coarse cloth coat stood at the door of the bazaar, looking at the price of grain that had dropped today, and sighed helplessly.

"It's better than the previous two days, but I still can't afford it!" The man said helplessly.

On the other side, an old man who looked rather old and walked with a cane passed by him, holding a small bag of coins in his withered hand.

When he arrived at the stall selling grain, the old man trembled and presented the money bag in his hand, and said pleadingly: "This is my last money, please sell some to me......

Haradin's men, who were in charge of selling the grain, unceremoniously snatched the money bag and carelessly threw a small bag of flour at the old man's feet.

In the face of such an insult, the old man could only grit his teeth and slowly pick up the flour on the ground, and then carefully stuffed it into his arms, for fear of being snatched away.

And in the streets of Black Rock, there are many more people who are starving because they can't afford to buy high-priced food.

It's not that no one has ever tried to go outside the city and buy some rations directly from the farmers, but why shouldn't the farmers be threatened by Haradin?

Because of years of exploitation and oppression, the farmers did not have much food in their hands, and now they are facing a crisis because of the threat of Haradin.

All of the above scenes are fully seen by Zhaoming, who has been secretly preparing in the church for the past few days.

A bitterness and guilt flowed in his heart, and the descriptions that he had only seen in history textbooks were now happening right now, right next to him, right above his own territory!

I can't bear it anymore, I have to punch hard!

The agreed time with Trisda was tonight, and seeing that the time was about the same, Zhaoming got up and packed up his equipment. At the same time, Sister Lucia pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Zhaoming who was packing up his equipment, Lucia asked with some concern, "Lord Zhaoming, are you going to leave now?" ”

Zhaoming nodded, and by the way, handed Lucia all the scrolls of paper he had written down in the past few days, and asked her to keep it for the time being—his storage space should be left for other more important things.

Lucia agreed, and at the same time said, "Lord Zhaoming, I know all about what happened in Black Rock City recently, I don't understand why this is happening?" ”

Lucia's clear eyes showed a hint of sadness, and her compassionate personality made her grieve for what happened to the people.

Lucia crossed her hands and gestured to pray, and said with some frustration: "I have been praying for everyone, but the goddess Enya doesn't seem to want to respond to my prayers, is it the disrespect of the people here that has annoyed the goddess?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ming clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and replied firmly, "No! It is the dregs of the people who anger the goddess, and the goddess's punishment will be brought by her faithful servants! ”

Zhaoming's uplifting words swept away the decadence of the previous day, and even Lucia was infected and cheered up.

Zhaoming walked to the center of the church, it was sunset, and tomorrow would be the day he appointed the governor.

After praying fervently to the icon in the center of the church, Akira used his summoning skill to summon his mount.

On the side of the town hall, Groushi, who had already been ready to cooperate, heard the neighing of the war horse and understood that the action had begun.

He stood up from his desk and looked at the people left in the town hall, Kaeya, Leila, Lessio, and even the maid Elusa.

As the end of work approached today, Grouch suddenly ordered the doors and windows to be sealed and all personnel were not allowed to leave.

At first, the crowd didn't react, but soon they realized that it must be the lord's plan!

The resentment that has accumulated for many days is about to erupt in my heart, and now the opportunity has come! Everyone listened with bated breath as Grouchy explained the task.

According to Zhaoming's orders, Grouchy made the following arrangements: Kaeya immediately went to the barracks and led people to take control of the market at night with the warrant left by Zhaoming; Leila leads the clerks to prepare for a full takeover.

After an explanation, everyone was ordered to set off. Watching everyone scatter, Elusa eagerly asked herself what she could do.

Grouchy hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's make some food with Barnett." ”

Elusa nodded excitedly, although it was not an important task, but she was somewhat worried about her master.

Outside Black Rock, inside Haradin's residence.

The bloated man was preparing the best dress for tomorrow's appointment, and after trying dozens of sets in a row, he still didn't find a satisfactory one.

Looking at the pile of silk satin on the ground, Haradin complained, "It's so unlucky, I would have done more if I knew it!" ”

At this moment, his niece Trisda, who had been thinking about him, suddenly walked up to his side.

Haradin was a little shocked, after all, she was bare-chested, wasn't Trisda shy?

Haradin didn't expect Trisda to look at him with a look of adoration, and a fire suddenly broke out in his heart.

"Uncle, I've always wanted to tell you something...... It's ......"

Trisda's shy look brought Haradin to the fall, a natural premonition of a male, who did not expect to encounter two good things in one day.

Tomorrow he can be the governor, and tonight his niece came to him......

Haradin's fat face was full of unconcealed smiles, and he reached for Tristrata, but the girl just handed her a cup of tea.

Haradin took the tea from his niece without any warning, but did not drink it immediately.

Trisda casually picked up a luxurious dress on the ground and draped it on his body, and said gently: "Uncle, in fact, in my mind, you look good in whatever clothes you wear, don't worry about it anymore, okay?" ”

Trisda's sweet words moistened Haradin's heart like honey, and at the same time made the desire in his heart burn more and more, and for a moment it made his mouth feel dry.

I really want to drink something, I just have a cup of fragrant tea in my hand!
