Hardy sat in his study, looking at the report in his hand.

"Kill five hundred and seventy-two."

"One thousand two hundred and sixty-four prisoners."

"All fourteen enemy leaders have been ambushed, and all their relatives and friends have been captured and are being interrogated."

Hardy looked at such a battle report and was very satisfied.

As a lord, he doesn't need to know the details, just the result.

"Sophia, if you're not feeling well, go and rest."

Hardy glanced at Sophia, who was standing next to her, her face pale and her eyes filled with grief.

Sophia looked at Hardy and nodded slightly.

After Sophia was gone, Sophie suddenly appeared behind Hardy.

As a succubus assassin, she can hide in Hardy's shadow.

Gui Vernier knew that Sophie existed, but Sophia didn't.

"There's something wrong with her, do you want me to spy on her?" Sophie pressed against her back and put her hands around his neck.

"She shouldn't betray me." Hardy thought for a moment and said, "One of those leaders is her elder, probably because of this matter." ”

Sophie turned around, sat in Hardy's arms, and said with a smile: "I'm not worried that she will betray you, but I'm worried that she will affect Gui Weniel, after all, Gui Wenier ordered to kill people." ”

"Are you worried that their mother and daughter will have a disagreement?"

Sophie nodded: "That's it, human beings are very emotional, but sometimes too much affection will also make the two people who already have a good relationship contradict each other." ”

"Then you go and take a look, and if something really happens, take advantage of the situation and guide it." Hardy said lightly.

"See you in the evening."

Sophie left a kiss on Hardy's face, then turned into a black shadow, pressed against the ground, burrowed through the crack in the door, and disappeared without a trace.

Hardy began to review Tacoma's nearly two years of ledgers and government memos.

He knew that Tacoma must have a lot of problems, but after reading it, he still felt a little big.

For example, the whereabouts of many large sums of money are unknown, and the implementation of many policies is not effective at all.

Hardy believes it's not Sophia's greed, but that she doesn't understand the twists and turns.

After all, it turned out to be just a noble lady who ate, drank and had fun, and it was indeed a little difficult for her to make her the acting city lord.

It's just that there was really no talent in Hardy's hands at that time, and he rose too fast.

Now, nearly two years have passed, and he has also cultivated a lot of talents.

Take Gui Verneer, for example.

So it was indeed a wise move to bring Gui Vinier back this time.

In addition, several player officials are responsible for projects and areas, which are doing a good job.

The account sheet is clear, and there is no excessive money-making behavior.

Hardy asked the butler to bring in a few players.

The players also knew that there had been a large-scale 'counterinsurgency' at the harbor before, so now they were a little panicked, for fear that Hardy would take his anger out on them and expel them.

It stands to reason that they weren't afraid of Hardy, but Hardy was giving too much.

It is very simple for them to deal with the government affairs in their hands, after all, they are all undergraduate and graduate students, and one is studying for a doctorate, and in this world with a literacy rate of less than 5 percent, they are the top talents.

In terms of engaging in civilian work, they are definitely a dimensionality reduction blow to the indigenous people of the world.

Such a simple thing, but can get a high salary, they feel ashamed.

Now that something big has happened, I have to take some responsibility for it...... That's what they thought.

Hardy swept around a few players with uneasy expressions and said, "Next, you bring a few of your own subordinates to assist Gui Viniel in raiding the house, separating the stolen money from their personal income, and dealing with it according to the law, I believe you can do it." And then your power will increase from today onwards, and this is what you will be responsible for later. Of course, your wages will go up by 20 percent. ”

One by one, Hardy put the plans he had written on the table.

The players breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were happy.

It's a good thing that you have more power and more wages.

Looking at the happy players, Hardy feels that these life players are really easy to 'use'.

The affairs they are responsible for are handled by the local natives, and it takes at least five to ten more people to sort them out.

And to hire them, one person is enough, and the salary is only about three times.

Really save money.

Do you want to recruit more players?

Hardy began to think about the pros and cons of this.

On the third floor of the Lord's Mansion, Sophia stayed in her daughter's bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed with a gloomy face.

She remembered that when she was a girl, when she was not married, she was often bullied by her older brothers and sisters, and it was Uncle Schwarneau who protected her.

When she felt lonely, it was Uncle Schwanault who played with her until she got married.

Her childhood was not very happy, but with Uncle Schwarneau, she was okay.

But in this way, the uncle she has always loved is in the hands of her own daughter.

She has read the battle report, and it was her daughter who personally ordered to kill the person she loves the most.

The pain of despair almost broke her.

Fortunately, she held on to her mind and didn't show it in front of Hardy.

The tears in her eyes kept rolling, but they didn't fall.

Time passed a little by while she sat still, and I don't know when it came to evening.

The door slammed open, and a tired Guivernier walked in, startled at the sight of the dark shadow on the edge of the bed, and then asked in some surprise, "Mother, why are you here, why don't you accompany Hardy." ”

Sophia turned her head and looked at her daughter, her eyes were red and she didn't look at her.

Gui Venier got up in a hurry, sat down next to Sophia, took her hand and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you, did Hardy murder you!" ”

Because she guessed that her mother would manage the territory, there would definitely be a lot of mistakes, and Hardy would definitely find it when she checked it.

So it is a high probability that Hardy reprimanded his mother.

Sophia looked at her daughter quietly with sad eyes.

Gui Wenier was silent for a moment, looking at her mother's eyes, she also understood something.

"Are you blaming me for killing Schwanaugh?"

"He is your uncle, your relative, and one of my beloved relatives." Sophia finally burst into tears, her voice full of accusation and hatred: "You could have saved him." But you took the initiative to execute him, why is your heart so ruthless? ”

"Mother, you are too emotional, too naïve." Gui Wenier's eyes contained deep helplessness: "I'm protecting you and myself, understand?" ”

Sophia cried with sharp sarcasm: "You killed your own relatives, and you said you wanted to protect me? Did you learn something from others and look down on me and think I was a fool? ”

"If you don't kill Swanor, Hardy will alienate you and me, and our mother and daughter will stay away from Hardy's center of power at the same time." Gui Wenier sighed quietly, "Do you think he doesn't know that the leader of the rebels is our relative?" It's a test, a test for our mother and daughter! Haven't you seen it yet? ”

Sophia stopped crying, she looked at her daughter in surprise. (End of chapter)
