Unbeknownst to Hardy, Lady Anna had become friends with Lady Pershings.

After bidding farewell to the two beauties, he returned to the manor and continued to work on his own development plan.

The current city of Hucaro has its own way of operating, and he doesn't want to change it for the time being.

There is no way to change until there are not enough available manpower.

When people start doing business, time flies.

He occasionally made a plan at home for two or three days, and occasionally went to the city for two or three days to conduct a private inspection.

Drink in the tavern and listen to those drunkards and bards bragging.

Don't underestimate these street slicks in the tavern, as long as you eliminate the useless information in their mouths, what is left is what has happened or is happening in the city.

Through the mouths of these drunkards and bards, Hardy 'got to know' many 'heads and faces' characters.

And then a month passed quickly.

More than a third of the construction progress of the drainage canal in the city of Hucaro is expected to be completed before the onset of winter.

At the same time, on Hardy's side, Rogge finally returned with more than three hundred people.

In addition to a group of veterans, there was also a group of new soldiers, making up enough for the establishment of 200 people.

The others were tenant farmers who intended to become naturalized in the city of Hukaro.

That's Hardy's previous promise.

Along with Rogge came Jack, the old butler, and Lillian, the head maid.

And...... Little Donpus.

The old butler, Jack, looked at Hardy with tears in his eyes, and kept saying that if the old master was still alive, he would be very, very happy to see that little Hardy was now a viscount.

The head maid didn't think much about it, she just looked at Hardy with affection.

After they exchanged pleasantries with Hardy for a while, the two immediately began to take over the management of the Lord's Mansion.

With the two of them there, Hardy finally felt that the Lord's Mansion had a bit of a 'home' taste.

As for Tumpson Jr., he was called into the study by Hardy.

"I can't believe you climbed up to Jeanne's house...... became a viscount, and even became the lord of Hucaro City. ”

Little Dunpson looked at Hardy, his eyes full of admiration.

He really didn't understand why Hardy, his playmate, had changed so much recently.

"Based on the information I've gathered, you're still a Nightmare Knight?"

Hardy sat down in his chair and said with a smile, "Yes, we have a Nightmare Saddle at home, I tried to fuse, and it worked." ”

The fact that he's a Nightmare Knight doesn't need to be hidden.

"I feel like you're like the main character in a knight's biography, with legendary experiences and abilities."

"Don't brag about me so much, you won't be paid more." Hardy waved his hand and made a joke, and then Zhengse said: "I transferred you from Hexi County just to ask you to help me set up another intelligence system here, I suspect that other nobles have planted shadows here." ”

Xiao Dunpusen's eyes froze: "Who is so bold as to dare to break the hidden rules among the nobles." ”

"I just feel this way, I don't know who it is. Also, you have to help me collect the tax situation of various industries. ”

People can't all be all-rounders, and Hardy has the ability to gather intelligence on his own, but he is not very powerful.

"Leave these things to me, you can rest assured." Little Dumbson was visibly excited: "Within a month, I will give you the results." ”

"Later, you will take my coat of arms, go to the back storeroom, and carry a box of gold coins to work."

Little Dunpson cautiously asked, "How much is a box of gold coins?" ”

"Two hundred!"

Hiss!

Little Dunpson first gasped deeply, and then he immediately laughed evilly: "With so much money, I can make the entire city of Hukaro under your surveillance in a month." Not to mention such a major event as tax evasion, even when they have sex at night, they take off their clothes or pants first, I will investigate it clearly for you. ”

"You don't have to ...... that."

Hardy thought it was amused, and then she heard a knock on the door.

Lilian, the head maid, came in and said with a smile, "Master, there is a man named Xi Xixi, who asked to see you, saying that there is something important that needs your decision. ”

Well?

It doesn't make sense, but it shouldn't be a problem to supervise the construction of drainage canals, and with the ability to do so.

Hardy was very strange and said, "Please come here." ”

Lillian turned to leave.

Little Dunpson stood up: "Then I'll go and do things first." ”

As an intelligence officer, Dumbson Jr. is very professional, and he knows that there are some things that he is inconvenient to observe.

Hardy nodded.

Not long after Little Dunpson went out, he came in.

He was dressed in leather armor, with a sword at his waist, and his face was full of anger.

"Lord Hardy, we're in some trouble building the drain."

"Sit down and talk." Hardy gestured to the chair across from him.

He sat down, took a light breath, and told the reason for the incident.

It turned out that in order to make the construction progress faster, he followed the advice of netizens and divided more than 100 tenant farmers into three teams to carry out construction in three directions at the same time.

That's a good thing, the construction progress is really speeding up.

At this pace, it will definitely be completed before the onset of winter, after all, for tenant farmers, working in the cold winter is a chore, and they do not want such a situation to happen.

But just this morning, the construction team in the north of the city was beaten by a large group of people.

Three died, a dozen were seriously wounded, and the rest were all minor.

When Hardy heard this, his expression froze: "What the hell is going on." ”

And Xixi said: "The food of the construction team is very good, and they are squatting on the side of the road to eat, and after a long time, many street runners are jealous...... I didn't care about it at first, but I didn't expect that as time went by, this jealousy became stronger and stronger, and finally it ......"

Hardy frowned: "Street runners, a bunch? It can't be the sewer rats involved. ”

Normally speaking, although street slickers are annoying, they are generally only in groups of three or five, and the number of tenant farmers who are well fed, warmly clothed, and doing manual work is still thirty or forty, so they should not have the upper hand.

"I think so too, there should be someone behind this."

"What about the people who beat people?"

"It's all gone, and when I arrived, I only tracked down a few people."

"Why don't you arrest and ask."

"They're hiding in the trading houses!"

"So you're asking me how to deal with it?" Hardy's voice was noticeably higher: "I gave you thirty elite soldiers, and you are used as a gatekeeper?" ”

And Xixi is a little embarrassed, although he is followed by millions of netizens, but it is the first time that he has 'power' in the real sense.

So he didn't dare to do things that seemed to him to be more 'out of line'.

"I see." And Xi Xi stood up.

Hadi continued: "Go to Sheriff Risauer and ask him to bring someone to cooperate with your operation, and say that it is my order. ”

And Xi Xi nodded, his face became firm, and then walked out of the lord's mansion.

In his live broadcast room, netizens were indignant.

'Whoever dares to bully civilians, who dares to mutilate civilians, kill, kill, kill! ’
