Chapter 37 Clean Up
"Donnie, don't be dazed, go back to the castle with Edward's helmet and sword first, and tell Madame Madeleine about this, and then let the servants in the castle bring back the corpse in the pit... as long as you press I teach you a few things to do, and the overall situation of the Grand Territory can be controlled in your hands."

Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder, and said in his ear with a relaxed tone: "Now you are the only son of Baron Connor and the sole heir of Grandland, even if there are a few blind guys standing in front of you, As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems!"

Zhou Ming said these words with confidence in his heart. In addition to Baron Connor, there were 11 knights (including Edward) in the original Grand Landing, but in the "Battle of 500 Horses", these 11 knights 6 knights were killed, and the remaining 5, except for the knight Henry who was blinded by him, and the three lying in the big pit... Today, the only one left in the Grand collar is to guard Baron Connor day and night Maurice Cavalier.

Looking at the more than 20 strong robbers present in the grove, Zhou Ming had no reason not to be confident, and he couldn't control the overall situation of this little Gran.

Donnie nodded, took the smashed helmet and a crooked long sword that the robber Jero handed to him, mounted his horse, and returned to the castle.

……

"Mom, it's not good, brother Edward was killed by robbers!"

After the bad news came back to the castle and the body was brought back to the castle, Madame Madeleine passed out on the spot, and the seriously ill Baron Connor also vomited a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma for several days.

After Madame Madeleine woke up, she summoned all the servants, asked the steward Bunode and his youngest son Donny to preside over the overall situation of the territory, and asked Maurice Knight 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 asked for help from the surrounding lords and Count Lausitz.

Naturally, all of these messengers were intercepted and killed by Zhou Ming's men--until he had taken control of the situation, he would not let Rong Ren have the slightest hidden danger to disrupt his plan.

A week later, Downey in the castle sent someone to send 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 Steward Bunode. I can't even win him over, so I asked him what should I do?
"This Downey is also a piece of trash. He doesn't even know how to win people's hearts. It's nothing more than splitting and profiting. I taught him so many tricks before, but he doesn't even know how to use them..."

"Forget it. Butler Bunode is an old fox who has lived for decades after all. Donnie, a fledgling boy, will definitely not be able to fight against him. Let him open the city gate. The time to enter the castle has come..."

Zhou Ming replied a letter to Downey, asking him to open the gate of the castle at midnight tomorrow. He, the robber Jie Luo and more than 20 people will enter the castle, help him, and ascend to the position of lord.

With the sound of "cracking" at the city gate, with the help of Tang Ni Liying Waihe, in the early morning of the next day, more than 20 people, including Zhou Ming and the heavily armed thief Roger, all poured into the castle.

Seeing this group of vicious men and horses suddenly entering the castle, Madame Madeleine trembled with fright, pointed at the robber Roger and others, and asked her son Donny, "Donny, who are these people? It's you!" Do you make friends outside? Why doesn't mom know that you have such friends outside? "

In Madame Madeleine's heart, she had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Dear Mrs. Madeleine, you don't have to worry. These people are mercenaries that Master Downey asked me to hire outside. They are here to protect you and the castle." Zhou Ming's voice came from the door.

"Lane?"

Madame Madeleine was taken aback, pointed at him and said, "Didn't you already leave a few days ago? Why did you come back again? Could it be..." Madame Madeleine's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at him in disbelief. The group of strangers in the house seemed to have figured everything out.

"Dear Mrs. Madeleine, too many things have happened recently, I think you should go back and have a good rest, leave the matter in the castle to Master Downey, and Master Downey will take care of everything .”

Zhou Ming smiled and said, but in the eyes of Madame Madeleine, she was as terrifying as a devil.

After asking Snake Girl to wait for a few female robbers to "send" Madame Madeleine back to her room to rest, Zhou Ming aimed at Bunode, the butler he was most looking forward to.

……

the next day.

After a late night raid.

In the center of the square in the front yard of the castle, there are more than a dozen boxes of assorted treasures. Among these treasures, there are gold coins, silver coins, gems and jade, and all kinds of rare and exotic items.

Seeing these treasures, Zhou Ming sighed. Unexpectedly, the miser Bunode not only embezzled and hid a lot of treasures in his own house, but even his "little treasury" in the castle contained far more treasures than he visited last time. His family stole more treasure once, with a total value of more than 3 gold coins. Zhou Ming estimated that 90% of the entire Grand Landlord's property had almost gone to Bunode's private vault.

"Bunode, with so many treasures in front of you, what else do you want to say?"

Downey pointed at Bunode who was kneeling on the ground and questioned him sharply, while many servants who were watching on the side either turned ashen-faced and said nothing, or scolded loudly, demanding that this insatiable embezzler should be severely punished.

"According to the five corruption punishment regulations of the Territorial Act No. 70, hang in public and execute immediately!"

Donnie delivered the final verdict in a cold tone, and felt extremely happy, Bunode, I told you to be against me these days, and today is your death day!

Hearing the verdict, the butler Bunode trembled, stepped forward and hugged Downey's thigh, howling like a pig, "Master Downey, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life!" Please, please forgive me, for the sake of dedicating my whole life to the territory without credit or hard work, please spare my life!"

Downey kicked him away forcefully, and roared at him, "Your credit is these treasures that you embezzled! Come on, drag him down immediately and execute him!"

"Yes, Master Downey!"

Big Ax Johnson dragged Bunode down with two strong men, and was hanged at the entrance of Qiangwei Town amidst hundreds of townspeople watching.

After executing Bunode as quickly as possible, Zhou Ming asked Snake Girl to take out a pack of poison and poisoned all the buddies of Bunode, the housekeeper, who was locked in the dungeon by him. The servant who was not very obedient was also sent out of the castle by Zhou Ming.

So far, in the entire castle, except for a few key people, who have not been "handled", the rest of the people have basically been cleaned up by him within two or three days.

"Baron Connor, Lady Madeleine, Edward's wife and two daughters, Maurice Knight, who else, oh, there is another one, I almost forgot him..."

Zhou Ming called the thief Roger, and brought a few people to a room on the third floor of the castle side fort.

Entering the room, I saw a tall patient lying on a big bed by the wall. His eyes were injured, and some internal structures of the brain were damaged because a sharp object was inserted too deep. In a semi-paralyzed state, he lay on the hospital bed for more than two months.

"Respected Lord Henry Knight, do you still recognize me?" Walking to the bed, Zhou Ming gently squatted down and asked in his ear.

"Recognized...recognized." Henry said in a trembling voice, his body and limbs also trembled violently, but was quickly pressed down by four big men.

"Dear Sir Henry, regarding that competition, do you think you won in the end, or did I win?" Zhou Ming tilted his head and asked with his ear close to his mouth. The dagger in his hand had already reached the on his heart.

"You won, you won, you won."

Henry's body trembled more violently, and he yelled three times in a row clearly, but a sharp pain in his heart quickly sent him into deep darkness.

"Mr. Henry, in the next life when you compete with others, the sword must be on the left chest of others, not the right chest..."
