Black Knight From Blue Star Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Three Talents Who Don't Take the Right Path

Hadi quickly found the 'Lord's Mansion' in this city.

It's actually easy to find. Normally, the tallest building is the one.

It was already dark at this time, and except for the two central commercial streets, which still had bright lights, the rest of the place was dark.

But the lord's mansion is still very bright, because the news of the new owner's arrival has been received, and the maids inside are working hard to clean up.

Hardi led more than two hundred people and stopped at the gate of the Lord's Manor.

Several manor guards immediately came over and knelt down to pay homage to the new owner.

Rogge sent people to take over the security of the entire manor, while Hardy went into the pavilion in the garden and sat down, waiting for the security inspection to be completed.

Malock took the cavalry regiment to a few hundred meters west of the manor, where was the city's barracks, where Mallock was going to take over.

Soon, more than a hundred people inspected the entire manor, and then Hardy was invited to enter the castle of the manor.

The main hall was lit with more than a dozen candles, making it very bright.

Hadi sat under the throne high up, looking at the two fat men below.

"Treasurer, Sheriff! Add a steward, and the three of them can manage the entire city in an orderly manner." Hardy held the chair with his left hand, his cheek supported by his palm, and there seemed to be warmth in his bright eyes. With a smile: "It seems that you are all very capable."

The two fat men were covered in sweat, and the clothes on their backs were almost soaked.

Hardy turned his attention to the fat man with slightly darker skin: "Finance Officer, how much is the annual monthly tax of Hukaro City?"

"The tax revenue is about thirty-one gold coins per month. After excluding the expenses of the castle personnel, administrative staff, city guards, and taxes handed over to the Jeanne family, there is still a net income of eight gold coins. "

So a year is about 96 gold coins. It has been sixteen years since Madam Sissi left the fief. Based on the income of 90 gold coins a year, there should be 1,440 gold coins in the castle now.

“So where have these gold coins been placed over the years?”

The treasurer's face trembled even more: "It's been placed in the warehouse behind the castle."

Hadi motioned to Rogge next to him, who immediately led a few soldiers out of the main hall.

During this period, the treasurer's face became paler and paler, and his body trembled more violently.

The situation of the police officer next to him was not much better.

Hadi just looked at them, said nothing, and waited quietly.

During this process, the expressions of these two people became increasingly ugly, especially the financial officer, whose body was already on the verge of crumbling.

After waiting for a while, Rogge and a few soldiers came in carrying two small boxes.

After they opened the box, they found that it was indeed full of gold coins, but the problem was...the two boxes were very small, and even if they were full, there were not many gold coins.

Hardy looked at the two small boxes on the ground, smiled, and said to Rogge: "Help me count them."

Several soldiers began to pull the gold coins and quickly counted them: "Master, I counted it twice, one hundred and fifty-four gold coins."

"It's a bit different." Hardy looked at the financial officer and asked with some confusion: "Why don't you make a fake account? Maybe you report a fake number that can match the number of these gold coins, and you can get away with it. Woolen cloth?"

The financial officer knelt down directly. He looked up at Hadi, sweating like rain: "Your Excellency Hadi, you can't hide it. Hukaro City's tax revenue can be clarified with just one check. It can be hidden for a few days, but It will be revealed soon."

Hardy turned his attention to the sheriff again: "He made false accounts, so he is afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

The Sheriff also knelt down: "I also took money from the steward of Ever."

When Hardy heard this, he finally couldn't help but laugh: "How much did you two receive?"

The two were silent for a long time.

Hardi was not in a hurry and waited for them quietly. Finally, the financial officer spoke: "Steward Eiffel gives us two one gold coin every month. In the past sixteen years, each of us has received about 190 gold coins."

“Yes, I remember it so clearly.” Hardy stood up and walked to the two local officials: “In other words, the others were eaten by the butler Ever.”

The two of them bowed their heads and acquiesced to this matter.

Hardy said to Rogge: "Go and ask the maid where Ever's home is. Bring dozens of brothers to tie him up. If you resist, you can do it, but you must be careful. Then tie him up." Clean out all the gold coins in his house."

Rogg smiled ferociously, turned and left.

Hardy looked at the two officials again: "As for you two, for the sake of your honesty, go back first and come back to me tomorrow to obey my punishment for you."

The two officials left the castle with sad faces.

The thing more terrifying than punishment is not knowing what kind of punishment you will face.

Handy then looked at the maid next to him and asked, "Who is the head maid here?"

"Master, there was a head maid here before." A maid who looked like a middle-aged woman stood up and whispered: "But after Miss Sissi got married, she took the head maid away. After that, there was no more maid. A long post. Butler Eiffel didn't say anything about setting it up.”

Of course the housekeeper will not take the initiative to help set up a temporary head maid, then wouldn't it mean finding someone to share his 'power'!

“Then take me to rest.”

"plz follow me."

Hadi followed the maid to the third floor, opened the largest room and looked inside, then his face became stiff.

Because...this is a very girly boudoir.

Pink and red bedding and many small and cute-looking furniture support the romantic girly style.

“These are Miss Sissi's things from more than ten years ago.” The maid explained: “We have always kept and cleaned them carefully, so they are still very new.”

“Are there no other beddings?”

“This used to be Miss Sissi's fiefdom. We thought she would come back, so we didn't buy any more men's things.”

“Okay, let's go to bed first.”

Hardy doesn't mind these things too much.

After all, if you can live in a university dormitory for four years, you won't care about these small details.

He was lying on the pink bed and felt the silky smoothness of the quilt. It felt a little strange at first, but after getting used to it after some time, it was actually quite comfortable.

Then I woke up to dawn.

The next morning, Hardy went down from the third floor to the main hall and saw the treasurer and the sheriff waiting.

Beside him, there was an old man tied up, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

At the same time, there were a few more boxes in the main hall.

Rogge waited for Hardy to sit down and then came over to report: "Master, the man has been kidnapped, but we searched all night and only found more than two hundred gold coins."

Hardy looked at Ever, with a playful look on his face.

Ever gritted his teeth and looked at Hadi angrily: "Why do you want to arrest me? I deserve the money."

"It's useless for you to tell me this." Hardy sighed and said: "I will send you, and more than two hundred gold coins, to Jeanne Manor, to Mrs. Sissi, and also to Tell her the whole story."

Ever's face turned pale immediately, and he shouted in horror: "No, what is the difference between your behavior and the devil!"
