After a night of turmoil in Tyrosh's prison, they still found some clues through investigation.
An old man with gray hair said tremblingly, holding on to a cane.
Although the Free Trade City does not have a bachelor, it does have a doctor. This gray-haired old man is the leading local doctor in Tyrosh, and he is also very knowledgeable about poisons.
He was invited by Lord Tyrosh to identify what kind of poison all the captives who died of poisoning died from. When the old man came here, he could identify them at a glance. These people all died of a very terrible poison.
Potent poison, strangler.
Because the killing effect of the strangler is very obvious, the victim's face will turn a purple color like the poison, as if he has been pinched by the neck and strangled or choked to death, so he was named "Strangler".
However, the obvious difference between death by strangulation and death by trauma is the bleeding from the seven orifices, and the amount of bleeding caused by poison is larger, and the death situation is more miserable and terrifying.
"The Strangler is expensive to make. It is made of a certain plant that only grows on the Jade Sea Islands half a world away."
"The leaves need to be left for a long time, then soaked in lime water, sugar juice and some precious spices from the Summer Islands. The leaves are then discarded, ashes are added to the potion to thicken it, and then left to crystallize."
"The process is slow and difficult, and the ingredients required are expensive, so stranglers are not cheap."
"But there are many people in this world who can create stranglers. As far as I know, they include the alchemists of Lys, the Faceless Men of Braavos, and your school city in Westeros."
The white-haired old man spoke in a trembling voice. After he finished speaking, he bowed and retreated.
At this moment, the underground prison in Tyrosh was brightly lit, and the guards held torches high, guarding every corner of the prison.
Because of a series of recent events, the top management in Tyrosh City has become highly nervous. Everyone is in danger and has increased the security around them. They are afraid that just like what happened to Asha, a group of people will suddenly rush out and assassinate them.
The torches in the underground world swayed slightly in the wind, illuminating people's cheeks. Now Lord Tyrosh and Asha Greyjoy, the messenger of the Iron Throne, were all gathered in the prison, calmly discussing the whole matter face to face.
The whole story.
After a night, Asha's anger had subsided. After some careful consideration and analysis with her uncle, she probably ruled out the suspicion of Lord Tyrosh.
Unless he is crazy, he would kill the emissary of the Iron Throne in his own territory. Such a naked provocation will inevitably trigger a war.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of another extreme, using people's thinking inertia to do the opposite.
Lord Tyrosh secretly instructed his subordinates to kill him, pretending to be framed, and then framed him on others, which then caused conflicts between the Iron Throne and the other party. It was a strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.
However, facing the invitation of Lord Tyrosh, Asha came anyway, but this time she was accompanied by more than one guard, but more than a hundred soldiers.
"Lord Messenger, you have heard it too."
"These criminals died by strangulation."
After listening to what the old man who was proficient in medicine and poisons said, Lord Tyrosh turned his head to look at Asha and said, with his round belly.
Lord Tyrosh was a bit rude when they first met, but in just one day his attitude changed 180 degrees.
Because of Asha Greyjoy's tough stance, she blatantly ordered the capture of Tyrosh's port and demanded an explanation from him. This also shocked the Tyrosh king, making him put aside his discrimination against women and couldn't help but take a high look.
.
And it was reflected in the verbal respect, and the attitude was much lowered. After all, the other party was a woman who would draw a knife if she disagreed with her.
"This matter has been full of fishiness from the beginning."
"It is obvious that someone is trying to frame him and sow discord between Tyrosh and His Majesty the Great Emperor."
When Viserys' name was mentioned, Lord Tyrosh's attitude became even lower, even a little humble, and his words were filled with reverence.
"As for the mastermind behind this matter, based on the information we have learned so far, I guess it should be Reese and Volantis."
"The alchemists of Lys are well known, and they are best at making horrific poisons."
"And for well-known reasons, Lys also has every reason to sow discord between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh, because both sides hope to win the support of His Majesty the Emperor's invincible army on the issue of the disputed land."
"If you, Lord Messenger, die in Tyrosh, the relationship between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh will inevitably have a rift, or even lead to a war, and Lys will benefit from it."
There is no problem in analyzing it from the perspective of the beneficiary. The Lord of Tyrosh is not hereditary but can ascend to this position through a series of elections, just like the Sea King of Braavos. Therefore, the Lord of Tyrosh is naturally not a
waste.
He held his belly and talked in front of Asha, and took advantage of the situation to direct the blame at the other two opponents.
Needless to say Lys, the sisters who were once the Three Sisters Kingdom are now enemies, especially after the decline of Myr, it became a tit-for-tat confrontation between Tyrosh and Lys.
As the overlord of the southwestern region of the Essos continent, Volantis has a very powerful army, and it was also an invader who once invaded Tyrosh. Now it is still ambitiously coveting more land. Naturally, it is Tyrosh.
Losey's archenemy.
Nowadays, every time Volantis reveals its interest in the disputed land, Lys and Tyrosh will temporarily put down their wars and openly talk to the outside world.
"As for Volantis, it's also very suspicious."
"Because according to the confession of the jailer we captured, he claimed that a man with fire scars on his face and a Volantis accent gave him the poison and asked him to poison everyone and silence them.
"
Lord Tyrosh's words made the Ironborn present, including Asha, look suspicious in their eyes.
Now that these evidences are in front of us, coupled with the sworn assurances of Lord Tyrosh, it is difficult not to believe that this is a frame-up operation, because if there is a conflict between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh, Lys and Volantis
It is the direct beneficiary.
However, it is still unclear who attacked the emissary of the Iron Throne, and they have no direct evidence.
But when Asha returned to the port, she ordered the lifting of the blockade of the Tyrosh port.
However, at this moment, an explosive news from the outside world from Myr spread quickly throughout the streets of Tyrosh.
The pirate governor of Myr used the pretext of holding a meeting, but instead led his men to attack two other governors in the street and killed them on the spot. Now the pirates under his command have completely controlled the entire newly built building from the ruins.
Get up mil.
Coincidentally, this happened at exactly the time when Asha ordered the blockade of the port of Tyrosh.
