Chapter five hundred and eighty fourth special prisoner
For a long time, the most discussed topic was the disappearance of the administrative divisions of the Reach. The former nobles of the Reach became the "King's Own" and the royal nobility.
Someone goes to see Vilas, hoping to see anger, fear, or hysteria on the face of the former heir to Highgarden, preferably if he stands up against it, makes a scene, and gets his head chopped off. .
However, what disappointed them was that Willas Tyrell didn't say a word during the whole process, he just lowered his head and leaned on his crutch, and then did not make any extreme reaction after the canonization ceremony in the Red Keep.
He just focuses on doing his own thing well, his own job
A tax official under the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
In these days, Willas Tyrell, regardless of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, still rides around in a carriage every day, tracking down tax evasion and other activities in the local area or traveling caravans, lighting candles and looking through the account books late at night, for The state treasury recovered a lot of tax money.
The knowledge he once learned played a significant role. Willas Tyrell is not just a "paper warrior", although this shameful title may accompany him throughout his life, even after his death.
When future generations mention this name, they may first think of a case in which he once commanded an army while reading a book, which ultimately led to the annihilation of the entire army, as a warning to others.
But Villas didn't care about the ridicule of others. He seemed to have been awakened by the war that stained his life.
He once didn't have much opportunity, but now he can be fully busy, patiently starting from the most basic small things, step by step, without being arrogant or impetuous, and taking one step at a time.
Vilas's low-key and forbearance disappointed many people who feared that the world would be unstable.
However, although the heat gathers in a short period of time, it will soon be covered by bigger things.
The much-anticipated public trial is finally about to begin, and a huge temporary court is being set up in an orderly manner in the square below the Red Fort.
"Quick! Move faster!"
"Bring this log up!"
Under a clear sky and hot sunshine, there are officials in charge of construction with hats on their heads to supervise, while sweaty workers are constantly busy building the roof of the shed, and it is time for the final finishing work.
This temporary court is about to be set up. It is located next to the seaside. You can hear the sound of the tide hitting the rocks and the salty sea breeze. There will be chairs in the venue and it can accommodate up to thousands of people. Watch the ceremony at the same time.
Of course, if you choose to climb a tree or stand on the roof from a distance, the number of people you can accommodate can be a little more. This is a number that guarantees safety.
The Unsullied Legion will surround the venue throughout the entire process to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. After all, the country has just emerged from chaos, and there are still many people who are hostile to the Iron Throne. Everything is not so stable now.
As for the trial process, the cases involved in the Usurper's War were numerous, large and small. This public trial was the complete liquidation of the Usurper's War and would last for more than half a month.
It was enough to become the biggest topic of conversation among the people of King's Landing during this period of time.
However, before this public trial and reckoning, there is still one case that needs to be settled.
This case might not be very eye-catching in normal times, but at this time it has become the focus of countless people's attention.
King Viserys is not in King's Landing now. After the canonization ceremony, many of King's Landing's dignitaries have not left yet. They need to wait for the subsequent public trial, while Viserys himself took a break from his busy schedule to go to Highgarden for vacation with his wife and children.
He was too lazy to bother with the numerous previous cases and handed them all over to the Minister of Justice for trial. Only in the last few days when trials involving important figures were held, he would personally preside over them.
Now, the public trial stage is being built outside the Red Keep. Going up the steps, in the throne room of the Red Keep, a preliminary trial is taking place.
There was silence in the throne room, with only the crackling sound of the blazing bonfire. Many nobles from the Seven Kingdoms who were watching the trial looked serious and did not dare to make any noise. In the corridor in the center of the throne room, a burly prisoner was tied up with five-flowered buns.
central.
Oberyn, the Minister of Justice, was sitting on the Iron Throne, with his legs crossed and his palms gently stroking the cold armrests. He was slightly absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, the door to the throne room was pushed open, making a heavy sound.
Rumble
Six Unsullied soldiers wearing black dragon scale armor and spiked helmets holding spears escorted a prisoner into the throne room.
"coming."
All the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms present, including the prisoners kneeling on the ground, and the chief judge sitting on the Iron Throne, all looked slightly stern.
Even Oberyn's fingers felt a sting. It turned out that at the moment when he was slightly distracted, his fingers touched the sharp edge of the iron chair, and a cut was made, and blood suddenly spilled out.
.
The man with dark hair and a solemn face had his eyes slightly condensed, and he squeezed his fingers gently, and a scarlet blood drop appeared in his palm.
Then Oberyn wiped the blood from his fingers and raised his head again.
Ever since the Unsullied soldiers escorted the prisoner into the throne room, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense. The nobles of the seven countries couldn't help but whisper. For no other reason than the identity of the prisoner being escorted was too special.
He is one of the prisoners who should theoretically be handed over to Viserys for personal trial, and no one else is even qualified to judge him.
However, it is a pity that His Majesty the King is not in King's Landing now, and has left all current legal matters to the Minister of Justice of the Royal Council, because this is his responsibility.
But strictly speaking, the protagonist of this trial was not the other party, but the prisoner's strong request, and Viserys agreed to him, so he was taken out of the prison.
The prisoner with disheveled hair and beard was escorted to the front of the throne room by six Unsullied soldiers.
"Kneel down!"
The Unsullied soldier spoke in rough Common Tongue, trying to get him to kneel down, but he refused to kneel down. The expressionless Unsullied soldier's eyes suddenly turned cold.
His hand was on the dagger at his waist, ready to cut his hamstring.
They are killing machines. They never need to consider the consequences when executing orders. They only need to hear the orders and complete them.
At this moment, Oberyn, the chief judge sitting on the Iron Throne on the stage, quickly raised his hand to stop them.
"stop!"
"Wait a moment."
Then Oberyn nodded to several Unsullied soldiers and let out a sigh of relief.
