Chapter 12

Fiona whispered, "what are you going to do?"

"I know."

Donne nodded slightly, but said nothing. After checking the treasure room, he ordered to lock the door and return to it.

"Go and call everyone in the Lord's house to the hall."

After Donne ordered the housekeeper to call someone, he sat in his chair and thought. Fiona was worried that the housekeeper would take the opportunity to escape, so she followed.

Ronnie is Hogg's man and must be removed, as well as the housekeeper.

Must also die.

Although Donne is not a ruthless man, now as the Lord of Ellington, he must have the appearance of a Lord. The enemy, the valuable need slavery, and the worthless must be removed in order to gain prestige.

A moment later, all the people in the Lord's house gathered in the hall. The huge Lord's house, factotum, cook, servant and all kinds of steward together, nearly a hundred people from top to bottom, gathered in the dark area of the hall. People were panicked and talked one after another. There were dull discussions in the whole hall.

Donne raised his eyes and saw the housekeeper's flattering smile.

Donne felt only an aversion and drove the housekeeper aside.

Fiona nodded slightly at Donne, indicating that everyone was here. Donne stood up and there was silence below.

"I know you don't know me, but it doesn't matter. You know me now."

When Donne spoke, he used a little magic trick to spread the sound directly to everyone's ears with the wind element. These people listened to Donne's voice as if he were around them. Several ill intentioned people in the crowd were suddenly cold and didn't dare to act rashly.

Fiona admired Donne even more when she saw that Donne easily awed those people with such a casual trick.

"I'm Donne, the new Lord of Ellington."

Fiona timely added: "the former Lord Hogg, who tried to murder Lord Donne, has been killed!"

"Hiss -"

There was a sound of air-conditioning below. They obviously didn't expect that Hogg said he was dead, especially several of Hogg's confidants.

When they panic, they lose their reason.

"Impossible!"

A steward shouted, "Lord Hogg is Lord Ellington appointed by the imperial aristocracy, and it's even more an imperial aristocracy. You killed him. It's a felony!"

The housekeeper immediately whispered in Donne's ear, "this is the brother of the... Hogg lover. He is arranged to be responsible for the purchase of kitchen materials in the Lord's house, and sometimes to send some materials to the people on the mountain..."

Donne nodded and said, "now you go and separate all Hogg's people from ordinary servants. Hogg's people stand on the left, ordinary servants and servants stand on the right, and those who are not sure stand in the middle. Is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

When the housekeeper's spirit was refreshed, he went to do it immediately. He knew that the better he performed, the more likely he was to save his life.

Soon the people below were divided into two distinct queues.

Most of the people on the left are well-dressed and greasy, while the people on the right are unusually simple, similar to the locals I saw before.

Donne pointed to the man on the left and said, "from now on, all of you have been dismissed. I don't want to see any of you in front of me until tomorrow."

"What?! you can't do that!"

Hogg's lover's brother cried, and there was an uproar. Many people stared at the housekeeper with hate eyes and wanted to peel his skin, but the housekeeper looked complacent and didn't care at all.

"Don't want to go? Then leave your life."

Donne threw a sword, and Hogg's lover's brother screamed. The sword pierced his chest and nailed it to the floor!

No one expected that Donne would kill if he said to kill.

The opposition disappeared at once.

These people usually rely on Hogg to domineer here. Now Hogg is dead. Donne said to kill cruel people. How dare they joke about their lives?

"You will continue to work in the Lord's house. As for the salary, it will be calculated according to the original salary for the time being."

Donne wiped his hands, then said something to the people on the right, and they immediately looked happy.

Most of these people are native to Ellington and have nothing to do with Hogg. At first, they were worried that they would be implicated and affected, but they didn't expect Donne to leave them.

In fact, Donne doesn't want to continue to use these people, but... He can't live alone in such a big Lord's house. He needs a lot of people just to clean up and pack up every day. It's more useless to let Fiona do the things done by these maids, so he can only continue to use these people.

"Now you pack up for me immediately and get out."

Donne said to the people on the left, and then told the servants on the right, "go and stare at them one-on-one. If they try to steal things leading the main house, inform me immediately."

"Good Lord!"

Soon the people in the hall dispersed, leaving only Donne, Fiona and the housekeeper.

"Lord, please don't worry. I know these people well. I can't make any mistake."

The housekeeper patted his chest to show his loyalty: "in the future, I will wholeheartedly assist the Lord and let these people work honestly."

"In the future? Oh."

Donne suddenly turned around. The next moment, a flame flew out of Donne's fingertips, wrapped the housekeeper, and burned him to ashes in an instant. He didn't even have time to scream.

"I'm not interested in men, so you don't have a future."

Donne rubbed his fingers. The feeling of killing between his fingers still made him feel a little unrealistic.

Fiona turned around, glanced at the pile of ashes on the ground and asked Donne curiously, "what did you mean by what you just said?"

"What sentence?"

"Because you're not interested in men, he won't be in the future."

"Oh, that's easy to explain," Donne smiled. "If it's a beautiful woman, I don't mind talking about it later."

"I see."

Fiona nodded. Although she didn't understand, she quietly labeled Donne as "lecherous" in her heart.

She underestimated Donne's immorality.

"What are you going to do next?"

Fiona is obviously more concerned about Donne's next plan for Ellington than taking over the Lord's house, which is related to whether she will regain the glory of the golden rose family in the future.

Donne said naturally, "of course it's the bandits."

Suppressing bandits can not only improve his position in the hearts of Ellington residents, but also take the opportunity to reasonably clean hidden dangers, stabilize the surrounding public security, and get a lot of gold coins. How can Donne let go of the good thing of killing four birds with one stone?

That night, Donne stayed at the Lord's house, and Fiona did her part.

This is the first night that Donne came to prandal. This night, he didn't sleep well. He thought about the past, the present and the future almost all night.

Fiona was at the door when Donne came out of the room.

Donne was stunned and smiled.

After Fiona saw Donne, her eyes lit up. She felt that he was a little different from yesterday. It was not a change in his appearance, but a feeling of Indescribability.

Yesterday, Fiona felt that Donne still had an ethereal feeling, just like Donne didn't belong to the world. Now, Fiona feels that she is a living person she can see and touch.

After the two went to breakfast together, Donne said, "Fiona, find Elsa, let the militia contact the residents of Ellington and let everyone gather in the square."

"Yes! Lord!"

Fiona immediately went to find Elsa and told Donne what she meant, and Elsa was also very powerful. Although Ronnie didn't want to obey orders, he had no binding force on such orders, not to mention that Donne was still the Lord. The rest of the militia soon informed every household in Ellington.

As soon as Donne had a cup of tea, Fiona came back to recover her life.

"It's done? Let's go."

Donne was also very straightforward and set off directly to the square.

When we came to the square, there were already a lot of people here. Although hot Ellington was a small town, it also had a population of thousands of people, all of whom gathered together, which was a huge number.

Now it was the time for prandal's people to prepare for a day's work, but Donne gathered here. Many people were full of complaints. They didn't know that their Lord had changed, and thought Hogg was going to mess again.

But when Donne went to the front stage, all these people were stunned. Some people who saw Donne yesterday were even more surprised and didn't understand how he went there.

Fiona looked at Donne. Donne nodded, so she stepped forward and shouted, "please be quiet!"

With the support of the militia, the voice slowly decreased. Fiona continued: "now, please welcome Lord Donne, the Lord of Ellington, to speak."

WOW——

A round of applause! There was an uproar.

Generally speaking, if a territory wants to change its Lord, it usually makes an announcement one month in advance. Many people will see it, but this time it is so sudden that some uninformed residents are stunned.

"What!?"

Ronnie's face was livid: "Lord? Donne? Not Hogg? What's going on?"

The letter of appointment has been burned by him!

Donne stepped forward, ignored the surprise of the people, cleared his throat and showed a bright smile.

"Salted fish King... Cough, king of Ellington, I'm settled!"
