Happy people from Blue Star

Chapter 104

Hardy quickly found the city's 'lord's mansion'.

In fact, it is very easy to find. Normally, the tallest building is the one.

It was already night at this time, except for the bright lights in the two most central commercial streets, 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 rushing to clean up.

With more than 200 people, Hardy stopped at the gate of the Lord's Manor.

Several manor guards immediately came over and knelt down on one knee to meet the new owner.

Rogge sent someone to take over the security of the entire manor, and Hardy went into the gazebo in the garden and sat there, waiting for the security check to be over.

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

Soon, more than 100 people inspected the entire manor, and then invited Hardy into the castle of the manor.

More than a dozen candles were lit in the main hall, which was very bright.

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

"Finance Officer, Sheriff! With one more butler, the three of them can manage the whole city in an orderly manner." Hardy propped his left hand on the seat handle, and rested his cheek on his palm. There seemed to be warmth in his bright eyes. With a smile: "It seems that your abilities are very strong."

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

Hardy shifted his gaze to the dark-skinned fat man: "Finance Officer, what is the annual and monthly tax of Hukaro City?"

"A tax of about 31 gold coins per month, after deducting the expenses of the castle personnel, administrative staff, city guards, and taxes handed over to the Jeanna family, there is still a net income of eight gold coins."

Then one year is about 96 gold coins. It has been 16 years since Mrs. Sissy left the fief. Based on the income of 90 gold coins a year, there should be 1440 gold coins in the castle now.

"Then where have these gold coins been placed all these years?"

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

Hardy gestured to Rogge who was next to him, and the latter immediately led a few soldiers out of the main hall.

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

As for the sheriff next to him, the situation was not much better.

Hardy just looked at them, did not speak, and waited quietly.

In the process, the expressions of these two became more and more ugly, especially the financial officer, whose body was already on the verge of crumbling.

After waiting for a while, Roger and several soldiers came in with two small boxes.

After they opened the box, it was indeed full of gold coins, but the problem is...these two boxes are very small, even if they are full, there are not many gold coins.

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

Several soldiers began to fiddle with these gold coins, and quickly calculated them: "Master, count twice, 150 four gold coins."

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

The financial officer knelt down directly, and he looked up at Hardy, sweating profusely: "Your Excellency Hardy, you can't hide it, as long as you check the tax revenue of Hucaro City, you can hide it for a few days, but It will be revealed soon."

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

The magistrate also knelt down: "I also took money from Butler Ever."

Hardy finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "How much did you both charge?"

The two were silent for a while.

Hardy was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for them.

In the end, it was the financial officer who said, "The Eiffel steward gave the two of us a gold coin every month. In the past 16 years, we have collected about 190 gold coins each."

"Yes, I remember so clearly." Hardy stood up and walked in front of two local officials: "That is to say, the others were eaten by the housekeeper Eiffel."

The two bowed their heads and acquiesced in this matter.

Hardy said to Rogge: "Go and ask the maid, where is Eiffel's home, and take dozens of brothers to tie him up. If you resist, you can do it, but be careful. Then put All the gold coins in his house have been cleared out."

Roger grinned, turned and left.

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

The two officials left the castle with a sad face.

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

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

"Master, there used to be a head maid here." A middle-aged woman-like maid stood up and whispered, "But after Miss Sissy got married, she took the head maid away. After that, there were no more maids." Long post. Steward Eivor didn't say it was going to be set either."

Of course the butler will not take the initiative to help set up a temporary head maid, so why not find someone to share his 'power'!
"Then take me to rest."

"plz follow me."

Hardy followed the maid up to the third floor, opened the largest room and looked inside, then his face became a little stiff.

Because... this is a very girly boudoir.

Pink and red quilts, many small and cute furniture, support the romantic girly style.

"These are all Miss Sissy's things more than ten years ago." The maid explained: "We have kept and cleaned them well, so they are still very new."

"Is there no other bedding?"

"It used to be Miss Sissy's fief. We thought she would come back, so we stopped buying men's things."

"Okay, let's go to bed first."

Hardy didn't mind much about these things either.

After all, people who can live in a university dormitory for four years will not care about these small details.

Lying on the pink bed, he felt that the bedding was silky and smooth. It felt a little strange at first, but after getting used to it after a while, it was actually quite comfortable.

Then woke up at dawn.

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

And 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.

Roger waited for Hardy to sit in the front seat, and came over to report: "Master, the man has been kidnapped, but we searched all night and only found more than 200 gold coins."

Hardy looked at Eiffel with amusement.

And Eiffel gritted his teeth and looked at Hardy angrily: "Why are you arresting me, I deserve the money."

"It's useless for you to tell me these things." Hardy sighed, and said: "I will send you, and more than 200 gold coins, to Jeanne's Manor and to Mrs. Sissy, and I will also send you Tell her the whole story."

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