Chapter 38 Cleaning up
"Donny, don't be stunned. Take Edward's helmet and sword and go back to the castle first. Tell Mrs. Madeline about this, and then let the servants in the castle get the bodies in the pit back... As long as you do as I teach you, the overall situation of Glen will be in your hands."
Zhou Ming patted his shoulder and said in his ear with a relaxed tone: "Now you are the only son of Baron Connor and the only heir of the Gran Corps. Even if there are a few eyes-opening guys standing in front of you, as long as I am there, there will be no problems!"
Zhou Ming felt very confident when he said this. The original Glen Corps, except Baron Connor, had a total of 11 knights (including Edward), but in the "500 Horse Battle", 6 of these 11 knights were killed, and the remaining 5 were the Knight Henry who was blinded by him, and the three lying in the pit... Now the Glen Corps, there are only the Knight Morris who guarded Baron Connor day and night.
Looking at the woods, Zhou Ming had no reason to be unconfident and could not control the overall situation of this little Gran Territory.
Donny nodded, took the flattened helmet and a curved sword handed to him by the thief Jero, and then stepped on his horse and returned to the castle.
...
"Mom, no, Brother Edward was killed by a robber!"
After the bad news was passed back to the castle, the body was quickly transported back to the castle, Madame Madeleine fainted on the spot, and Baron Connor, who was seriously ill and ill, vomited a large mouthful of blood and was in a coma for several days.
After Madlyn woke up, she summoned all the servants, asked the housekeeper Bunold and his young son Donnie to take charge of the overall situation of the territory, and asked the Knights of Morris to recruit a group of strong farmers to patrol the territory day and night, strengthen the defense of the castle, and sent a group of messengers to ask for help from the surrounding lords and Earl Lauzits.
Of course, one of these messengers was intercepted and killed by Zhou Ming. Before he could control all the situation, he would not let the tolerance have any hidden dangers and disrupt his plans.
A week later, Donnie in the castle sent a letter saying that only one-third of the people in the castle are willing to listen to him, and the other two-thirds are from the butler Bunold. He couldn't win over him, so he asked him what to do?
"This Donny is also a waste. He can't even win over people's hearts. It's just the four words "dividing and tempting". He taught him so many tricks before, but he can't even use them..."
"Forget it, butler Bunold is an old fox who has lived for decades. Donnie, a fledgling boy, must not be able to fight. Let him open the city gate. The time to enter the castle has come..."
Zhou Ming replied to Donnie with a letter, asking him to open the castle gate in the early morning tomorrow. He and the thief Jero and more than 20 people will enter the castle, help him and ascend to the throne.
With a "kick" sound of the city gate, with the help of Donnieli, in the early morning of the next day, more than 20 people including Zhou Ming and Roger, who were fully armed, all rushed into the castle.
Seeing the fierce people suddenly entering the castle, Madlyn was so scared that she trembled all over. She pointed at the thief Roger and others, questioned her son Donnie, "Donnie, who are these people? Are these friends you made outside? Why didn't mom know that you have such friends outside?"
Madreline had already guessed in her heart what was going on.
"Dear Mrs. Madeline, don't worry, these people are all mercenaries hired by Mr. Donnie, who asked me to go outside to protect the safety of you and the castle." Zhou Ming's voice came from the door.
"Ryan?"
Madrelin was surprised and pointed at him and said, "Didn't you leave a few days ago? Why are you back? Could it be..." Madrelin's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she looked at the group of strangers in the room in disbelief, as if she had figured everything out.
"Dear Mrs. Madeline, there are so many things that have happened recently. I think you should go back and have a good rest. Let me leave the things in the castle to Mr. Donnie. Mr. Donnie will take care of everything."
Zhou Ming smiled and said, in Madlyn's eyes, he was as terrifying as a devil.
After asking the snake girl to wait for several female robbers to "send" Mrs. Madeline back to her room to rest, Zhou Ming's target was aimed at the butler Bunode, whom he was most looking forward to.
...
the next day.
After a late-night assault.
In the center of the castle front yard square, there are more than a dozen boxes of treasures piled up, including gold, silver, gems and jade, as well as various rare and rare items.
Seeing these treasures, Zhou Ming sighed, but he didn't expect that the miser Bunold not only embezzled and kept a lot of treasures in his house, but even his "small treasury" in the castle also stored far more treasures than the last time he stole them at his house, with a total value of more than 30,000 gold coins. Zhou Ming estimated that the entire Glen had almost all taken 90% of his property and went to Bunold's private treasury.
"Bunold, so many treasures are in front of you, what else do you want to say?"
Donnie pointed at Bourd, who was kneeling on the ground and questioned sternly, while many of the servants watching on the side were either ashamed, without saying a word or scolding loudly, demanding severe punishment for this insatiable corruption criminal.
"In accordance with Article 75 of the Territory Act, hang it in public and execute it immediately!"
Donnie made the final verdict in a cold tone, and he felt extremely happy. Bournold, tell you to be against me these days, and your death date is here today!
Hearing the verdict, the housekeeper Bunod trembled all over, stepped forward and hugged Donnie's thigh, and howled like a pig: "Master Donnie, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life, please spare me, because I have no contribution to my life and have hard work to devote my life to the territory, please spare me!"
Donnie kicked him away with force and roared at him, "Your credit is these treasures that have been embezzled by you! Come on, drag him down and execute him immediately!"
"Yes, Master Donnie!"
Big Axe Johnson dragged Bonold down with two strong men, and hung himself at the entrance of Rose Town among hundreds of people.
After executing Bonod as fast as possible, Zhou Ming asked the snake girl to take out a pack of poison and poisoned the best friends of Bonod, the housekeeper who was locked in the dungeon by him. There were also a group of servants who were not good friends but were not very obedient, who were also sent to the castle by Zhou Ming.
At this point, except for the key few people, he had not been "handled", the rest of the castle were basically cleaned up by him in these two or three days.
"Baron Connor, Madlyn, Edward's wife and two daughters, Knight Morris, who else? Oh, there's another one, I almost forgot about him..."
Zhou Ming called the thief Roger and brought a few people to a room on the third floor of the castle side.
When he entered the room, he saw a tall patient lying on a large bed beside the wall. His eyes were injured. Even because the sharp weapon was inserted too deeply, some of the structures inside the brain were damaged. He could only lie on the bed in a semi-paralytic state.
"Dear Knight Henry, do you still recognize me?" Zhou Ming walked to the bed and squatted down gently and leaned into his ear and asked.
"Recognize...Recognize." Henry said with a trembling voice, his limbs also trembled violently, but they were quickly pressed down by four big men.
"Dear Knight Henry, do you think you won the competition in the end or I won?" Zhou Ming tilted his head and asked with his ears close to his mouth. The dagger in his hand had reached his heart.
"You win, you win, you win."
Henry's body trembled even more violently, and he shouted three times in a clear voice, but a sharp pain from his heart soon made him enter the deep darkness.
