Chapter 58: Officials

```

"Quiet, quiet!"

Charles, inside the stone house, loudly scolded until the voices of the several dozen village chiefs and serf overseers finally lowered.

"Hans."

"Sir Charles, please give your orders."

"Next, I will give you time to speak, but if anyone dares to talk outside of that time, punish him with ten lashes immediately!"

"Yes, Hans himself will keep an eye on these people!" Hans quickly took a stance.

The deterrent of ten lashes was astonishing, so no sound was heard in the room thereafter except for breathing.

Charles was pleased with this, so he continued speaking deliberately: "The sanitation policy is as follows—the Lord is very dissatisfied with the filth and disarray at Wuyao Snake Manor, so for you, danger and opportunity come hand in hand."

Everyone did not understand what danger and opportunity meant.
