At dawn in the morning, soldiers in Highgarden City walked through the streets, announcing the lifting of martial law, and at the same time called on the people to go outside the city to watch the execution.
After receiving the news, the people dragged their families and walked out of the city. Too many people gathered, causing congestion at the originally small city gate. The flow of people moved extremely slowly. People came one after another from behind the team, and the place became more and more crowded.
The more crowded it is.
"It's really a big scene today. Robert, Mace, Renly and Werther, one king and three dukes supervise the execution. Except in the Red Keep, it's hard to see this scene anywhere else in the Seven Kingdoms."
"Of course, but I don't care about them. I'm here to see the dragon! I heard that one scale of the red and white dragon is as big as a wooden basin!"
"It's impossible. The brother of my uncle's wife's friend has been to King's Landing and he said that a piece of dragon scale is taller than a human being!"
In the crowded crowd, Lord Samwell Tarly listened to the chatter of the people around him with a smile. A dozen knights held the green and red banners of the walking hunters to guard around him, blocking the crowd with their bodies in armor to avoid
The Earl of Jiaoling, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, was knocked down.
There are also two tall knights guarding Samwell on both sides, one on the left and one on the right. They come from the Hunter family of wealthy knights who are loyal to the Tully family. The two cousins are named Aelin Hunter and Hale Hen.
Special.
Samwell was gesturing towards the chests of the two of them: "Sir Alyn, Ser Hale, I have to temporarily aggrieve you today and take off the robes outside your armor."
Sir Alyn pointed to his chest: "Is it because of the family crest on the robe?"
"Yes!"
"But our family has been using this symbol for hundreds of years, so there's no need to be so taboo, right?" Sir Ellyn felt that Samwell was making a fuss out of a molehill. There is no law in Westeros that would require the king to hold the family emblem to account.
"Of course there is no problem in peacetime, but now the king is assassinated. I got the news last night that many people will be implicated this time. If there is any suspicion, they will be taken into the dungeon and tortured. I think you'd better not provoke the three angry people at this time.
The stag." The screams in the dungeon of Highgarden last night continued from dusk to this morning. Samwell persuaded the two of them with a serious face, because he really didn't want them to be beaten because of unfounded suspicions.
The chests of their armors were painted with the emblem of their Hunter family, a dead brown deer tied upside down under a crossbar.
Aelin and Hale thought about it for a while before throwing their cloaks in front of them. The lowest knight family was nothing in front of the angry king. It would be uncomfortable to be beaten if they couldn't find anything, and they couldn't complain to the king.
It's like getting beaten in vain.
"Sam!"
Someone in the crowd was shouting this abbreviation. The person who could call this name must be a very familiar person. Samwell looked around, but he was not tall enough and could only see his own knight.
Sir Aylin pointed to the city gate: "It's Earl Alton Marriwes of Long Table Hall. He's calling you over."
"Let's go over there!" Samwell commanded his men to open the way, and a group of people squeezed towards the city gate.
Looking at Sam who was sweating profusely after finally walking over, Earl Orton asked: "Why didn't you go out of the city with the Tyrell family?"
"You have to pass by the door of my dormitory when entering or leaving the dungeon in the inner city. I didn't like the noise, so I went back to the house in the city." Samwell actually couldn't stand hearing the screams of those in the dungeon.
"So many people are squeezing out of the city today. It won't be noon until noon when you go out! Now take the people and follow me." After Earl Orton finished speaking, he quickly called on his knights to push away the crowd and push Samwell's people away.
Crowding in the center, a group of people violently forced their way out of the city gate.
Someone in the crowd started to complain. After hearing this, Samwell said to Orton: "This is not good!"
Orton has an average appearance, with messy red-orange hair, and his biggest feature is his big nose. At this time, like an elder, he enthusiastically pulled Sam towards the execution site: "Don't worry about them, the king will pronounce the sentence today, and we have to advance
Stand up to the front and support!”
"Okay." Samwell couldn't stand his enthusiasm and could only follow him.
Orton's wife interjected from behind the two of them: "By the way, Sam, are you engaged to anyone now? Do you need me to introduce one to you?"
It was this kind of question again. Sam waved his hands: "Thank you, Mrs. Tanya. I am very busy in Highgarden right now and have not considered marriage for the time being."
"Whenever you want to meet a girl, just come to me! I know a lot of unmarried girls in the Reach." Tanya said to Sam with a smile.
"Thank you again, madam!" Sam didn't dare to talk to this lady.
Tanya was married to Orton when he was exiled to the city of Myr. She has long legs and big breasts, olive skin, long black hair, big black eyes, white teeth and plump lips. She looks very coquettish, and any man can look at her.
When she comes to see her, she will have primitive desires.
But when Sam thought about the information compiled by Varys last night, saying that she was about to propose herself to Robert's bed on the mat, but was delayed by Robert's assassination, she instantly lost interest.
Orton Marywes' late father was Owain Marywes. Many years ago, the "Mad King" recruited Jaime Lannister as the Kingsguard. After Tywin resigned and returned to the West, he took over as Hand of the King.
It's Irving.
Owen didn't have any great skills, but he was a top-notch flatterer, so he was very popular with the Mad King.
His abilities were not enough when Robert launched the war. Owen, who was the Hand of the King at the time, announced Robert's treason and asked small lords from all over the country to attack Robert. However, he suppressed and blocked any news about the rebels in King's Landing.<
/p>
As a result, Robert's power grew stronger and stronger. After the news spread in King's Landing, the "Mad King" found out that Robert had arrived in the Riverlands and gathered the armies of the three dukes to go south to attack King's Landing. p>
The furious Mad King believed that Owen was helping the rebels and deliberately bought time for Robert. He ordered that he be deprived of the title and title of the Mareweis family, as well as the land of Long Table Hall in the Reach, and his family was exiled to the Eastern Continent. p>

When Robert defeated the Targaryens and became king and counted his merits, Owen, who had bad ideas, helped Robert's army. The new king asked for amnesty, so Robert restored his family's territory and title.
Earl Owen died of illness five years ago, and the title of Earl of Long Table Hall was passed to his son Orton.
His wife Tanya is from Mill City. A few months ago, her father wrote a letter saying that she had made a fortune by buying bonds, and asked Tanya to follow suit. After some calculations, Tanya bought some and gave it a try. A month later,
The huge interest received made Tanya give up thinking completely and instigated her husband Auton to use the family property to buy it with her father.
Now the two of them have invested all their family wealth in bonds, but they are not satisfied with it. They start using the family's land and sugar cane industry as collateral to borrow money from the nobles of the Reach. In the south, big nobles like Redwyne and Hightower cannot
It was so easy to fool, they had already borrowed everything they could in the north, so the two set their sights on the young upstart Earl Samwell Tarly of the River Bend.
After the Tyrosh War, Samwell, who had just inherited Horn Hill, encountered obstacles in his business. Seeing that he was about to lose money after a few months of hard work, the Tyrell family extended an olive branch and was invited to serve in the Highgarden.
Horn Hill and Highgarden are very close, and it only takes a few days to travel by carriage. With his mother's persuasion, Samwell agreed to the Tyrell family's invitation.
There are more than a dozen internal and external affairs managers under the High Court Warden, and the current Samwell is one of them.
After the Duke's heir, Villas, tested him in school for a period of time, he found that he had really abandoned the Tully family tradition and knew nothing about martial arts. He had not made any progress in training for a period of time, and he could not be assigned a military position, so Villas had to arrange for him to take care of internal affairs.
.
Sam is very interested in learning knowledge and has a strong memory. Everything he handles is handled in an orderly manner. I didn't expect him to achieve anything, but he was just trying to win over the Tully family, and now I have discovered him.
After discussion, the Tyrell family decided to focus on cultivating his internal affairs abilities, and then took over the position of Grand Steward of Highgarden.
What made Sam even more powerful was that his sister Tara Tarly and Willas Tyrell had confirmed their engagement. Willas had no requirements for the woman's appearance or personality. His marriage was a pure exchange of interests. Tully is a veteran military noble with a very strong army in the Reach, and he is also a bloodline of Garth the Green Hand. Willas's grandmother, Lady Olenna, comes from the Redwyne family, and her mother comes from the Hightower family, and now she and the Tully family
Combined, in the future the entire southern part of the Reach will be united around the Tyrell family, with a navy and an army, which is very conducive to maintaining the stability of the rule.
The group of people walked through a large field of flowers and came to a large flat land where the grain had been harvested. A three-meter-high wooden platform had been built overnight last night.
There was only one day between the announcement and the official execution, and the only people here were the nobles who were in the High Court yesterday.
In this era, force was advocated. Watching beheadings was something that made everyone happy. Blood splattered and heads falling to the ground could arouse people's emotions the most. Therefore, the mahjong promoted by Witte in the early years was only popular in King's Landing. Other areas still like various kinds of mahjong.
Violent activities.
For thousands of years in Westeros, whether one believes in the old gods of the North or the new seven gods, people will yearn for glory when they die. In addition to dying of illness, dying on the battlefield is a very glorious thing.
After death, both our side and the enemy will dig a hole and bury the body. If a nobleman dies heroically, your enemies will even pay tribute to you.
Various colorful family flags were erected around the high platform, representing each family in attendance. In the middle was a huge crowned stag flag belonging to the king.
There are some gorgeous chairs on the high platform, and there are several tall gallows in front, which are prepared for the most heinous crimes. There are also many gallows stuck in the mud on the side of the high platform. Criminals with low status do not enjoy the treatment of the high platform. The king took the lead and walked up to the high platform and sat in the middle. Werther and Renly sat on either side of him. The other ministers of the royal council took their seats in turn. The earl had no seat and could only stand in the front row and watch.
Except for the king, everyone on the high platform was looking at their pocket watches. At 9 o'clock in the morning, a tall young man with short black hair left his seat and walked to the front of the high platform. The ring on his hand flashed purple, and then he shouted loudly:
"Quiet!"
The sound was not loud but it spread throughout the suburbs.
"Magic voice, is that Duke Werther?" Orton asked Samwell beside him in a low voice.
Samwell only met Werther a few times, but after thinking for a while he said: "The king and the ministers of the royal council are all present, and the person who announces the verdict should be the minister of justice."
"The speaker is Renly, and Werther is still sitting next to Robert." Willas said with certainty next to the two.
He has known the two of them since he was a child, and no matter how similar the twins are, there are subtle differences. What's more, the person speaking is dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, with a thumb-thick gold necklace around his neck, and ten necklaces with various gems on his hands.
The ring, who else could it be if it wasn't Renly?
Renly read out the crime on the stage, and the people listened with interest. However, the nobles such as Willas and Sam, who had already known the inside story, only attended according to the etiquette, but their thoughts were not here.
"Didn't you see the dragon?" Willas has never participated in any wars in his life, and has almost never been out of Highgarden. He had already seen Renly's little dragon yesterday, and he was even more looking forward to seeing the dragon as big as the castle. He
My eyes searched everywhere, but no sign of the dragon was found.
"The dragon is too big. If it stops in this open space, we won't have anywhere to stand." Samwell gave a decent reason, and then began to search in the sky: "Vilas, look above your head."<
/p>
Sam's voice was a bit loud, and the noble knights around him heard it, and they all looked up to the sky.
"No?"
"Where?"
Realizing that everyone had misunderstood, Samwell quickly explained: "I asked you to look for it in the sky, not that dragons are flying in the sky."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Haha!" Vilas glanced at Sam with contempt.
After telling the evidence of the crime, Renly shouted, "Bring the criminal here."
The King's Guards in the Red Castle brought Daenerys and other criminals to the high platform.
"It turns out that the descendants of the Targaryen family look like this, and they are not very good!" The crowd was talking about it.
Daenerys was dressed in brown coarse cloth, her hair was simply tied back with a rope, and she had no makeup. Scars could still be seen on her body and face.
Where there is glory, there is shame. After nobles were sentenced to death for committing crimes, they were usually sentenced to beheading. Beheading would only cause the head to be dislocated. After the execution, the family members could ask the Silent Sisters to dispose of the body and sew the head and body for burial.
Hanging is a great insult to the nobles! Hanging the neck with a rope and suffocating to death will cause the face to become distorted. The hanging is not over yet. After death, the body will be hung on a wooden pole for public viewing.
He was exposed to the wind and sun and was reviled by everyone, and was bitten by rats, wild beasts and birds at night. The duration of the public display could be as short as three days or as long as there was no time limit. Judging from the charge of assassinating the king, it is estimated that he would have to wait until the day when his body was gone.
End.
The first to be hanged on the gallows were Daenerys's three personal maids. They were of low status but were the main perpetrators of the assassination, and they deserved to be treated on a high platform. The executioner wearing a black hood tied the hemp rope, and several others
The executioner pulled the rope and hung up the three maids. The rope was tied to a stone pier and they backed away. The fainting caused by suffocation made their hands and feet struggle only a few times before they stopped moving.
"Okay!"
"These sinners deserve to die!"
The nobles standing in front took the initiative to step aside and let the people come forward. At this time, they needed their cheers and smashed rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
Renly stepped aside with a magic shield in his hand, and then shouted: "Pycelle!"
Pycelle, who had been stripped of his status as a grand maester by the city, was so frightened that he could not walk. Two strong soldiers dragged him to the gallows. When the executioner put a hemp rope around his neck, Pycelle had already peed.
Qi Liu. The executioner moved very neatly. He checked the knot and waved behind him.
"Do you think there will be warriors holding swords at this time and shouting: Keep people under the rope?"
Samwell began to lose his thoughts, and by the time he finished speaking, Pycelle had been hung upright.
Renly then shouted: "Daenerys!"
The executioner came over and only put the knot around Daenerys' neck without pulling her up. After Renly announced King Robert's decision to postpone the execution, the people cheered even louder.
