Chapter 105 The New Owner's First Show
The old housekeeper was tied down, and kept calling, telling Hardy not to tie him up in front of Mrs. Sissy, at least give him some dignity.

The two local officials were shivering, wiping away their sweat.

Hardy's heartbreaking move made the two of them terrified.

Hardy's eyes fell on the two officials, and they straightened up subconsciously, trying to behave better.

"What kind of punishment do you want?" Hardy asked while spreading honey on the bread.

Neither local official dared to speak.

"The three of you have managed the entire Hukaluo City for 16 years, and there has been no trouble. You have worked hard without credit. According to my personal opinion, it is not a big deal to reward each of you with one or two hundred gold coins."

The two officials were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"However, taking without telling is stealing." Hardy thought for a while and said, "What you stole is still the owner's property, let alone something that shouldn't be."

The two officials were weeping.

Hardy thought for a while and said, "I remember that in the house rules of Jeanna's family, there is a kind of whipping."

The magistrate bite the bullet and whispered: "Your Excellency, there are indeed."

Hardy nodded and said: "I thought of a way, one gold coin counts as one lash, you probably stole 190 gold coins, I'm kinder, let's count you as 180 lashes."

Hearing this number, both of them collapsed to the ground.

Generally speaking, if you whip more than 180 lashes in a row, you will be ready to kill someone, and [-] lashes will directly kill you.

Looking at the two people in despair, Hardy smiled and continued, "Don't worry, the two of you won't die. 180 lashes will be executed in one month, six lashes a day, you can handle it."

Hearing this, the expressions of the two eased a little.

After a while, the treasurer asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, the gold coins we got from bribery...do you want to return it?"

"Forget it, I'm a generous person, just take it as the hard work you have spent managing Hukaro City in the past 16 years." Hardy finished eating the bread, and his expression became cold: "But if there is another time, the consequences will be yours. understandable."

With the improvement of his strength, he can now mobilize some abilities that can only be used in the nightmare form.

For example, a weakened version of the halo of fear.

The two local officials were already terrified, but as soon as they were shrouded in this halo of fear, they felt that Hardy was even more frightening.

It was as if a god of death was standing in front of him, ready to reap his life at any time.

"For the next month, at noon every day, I will go to the center of the city and receive the whipping." Hardy looked at Rogge and said, "You will supervise the implementation, so that they will feel pain, and it will not affect them the next day." normal life."

Roger nodded.

The two local officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Six lashes a day is within the range they can bear.

After the two local officials supported each other to leave, Hardy said, "Rogge, you have collected and recorded the ashes of your brothers, right?"

Speaking of this matter, Rogge was quite happy just now, but he also became disappointed.

Two hundred brothers happily set off from Hexi County, but now there are fewer people.

Although the owner has given enough pensions and subsidies, but the person is gone, after all, he is gone.

"The amount of some pensions has not been settled, and some brothers who are not easy to move are still recuperating."

"I understand that. You stay here for a month first. After the whipping is over and the seriously injured brothers have almost recovered, you will lead dozens of brothers and escort the brothers with disabilities home." Hardy thought for a while and said: "By the way, take their pensions back to their families. No matter what, we have to take people back, even if he turns into a small jar."

Roger nodded.

"You have a lot to do recently." Hardy sighed and said, "I have too few people available, so I can only work hard on you."

Rogge knelt down on one knee with emotion: "It's not hard, everything I have is given by the master, and it's what I should do."

He himself was born as a sharecropper of the Hardy family, and his loyalty need not be questioned.

On the second day, a high platform was erected on the square in the center of the city.

Two well-known local officials, shirtless, were escorted to a high platform, and each of them was beaten six times with red marks.

Although it is painful, it is still within the range that adults can bear.

After that, every day, whether it was windy, rainy or scorching hot, the two local officials would be escorted to the high platform and whipped six times at noon.

This lash not only hit the two local officials, but also hit the hearts of all the 'gentry' in Hukaro City.

After going on for a month, everyone in Hukaro City knew one thing.

The new owner is here!
And very harsh.

After that, Hardy's estate received a lot of invitations.

They were all received with the help of Rogge.

On this day, Rogge placed several invitations in front of Hardy's desk.

Hardy ignored the invitations and said, "Tomorrow, you will escort the brothers back to River Creek City. At the same time, you will also recruit some people from your home and the mountain people to maintain the army size of 200 people."

Roger nodded.

Hardy thought for a while and continued, "Also inform my housekeeper, Jack, and the head maid to come to Hukaro City to help, and you will be responsible for escorting them."

Roger took note of this.

"What's more, as I promised before, brothers who are willing to come to Hukaro City for naturalization can bring their relatives. Only brothers who participated in the battle can get this treatment."

This matter is very important, and it is also one of the benefits of Hardy's army.

Rogge became excited at the moment: "Master, don't worry, I will supervise them well, so that no one will be fooled into pretending."

The next day, Rogge left with dozens of soldiers and several carriages carrying the disabled soldiers.

Hardy, on the other hand, went to the best hotel in town.

This is also the property left by Mrs. Sissy back then, and it belongs to the Lord's Mansion. Naturally, it is Hardy's property.

This is a first-class hotel. At this time, the main hall on the first floor is already full of people, nearly 60 people.

The bartenders in uniform were busy around.

The group whispered.

The treasurer and the sheriff also came, but they both looked embarrassed.

Everyone looked at them strangely, with a hint of teasing.

There is no way, it is not normal to be flogged for a month in public and lose face.

After a while, Hardy walked in from the outside.

Everyone stopped talking, and the hotel suddenly fell silent.

Hardy walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at the 'gentry' in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'm very glad to have so many people present, as the new owner of Hukaro City, I invite everyone to come here, just to talk to everyone Talk about the future of Hukaro City."
