Therefore, the idea of the top management of the empire is also very simple. Anyway, Harry Strickland does not have a few years to live, and it is probably just the past few years, so simply let him stay in office.
The eldest prince, Horos, took away Harry Strickland's notepad and several of his personal letters. He also knew that the contents inside may have been read by the other party. Although he did not directly lose his temper, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
.
He did not expect that after being cautious all his life, he would end up capsized in the hands of a junior.
Harry Strickland had of course heard the rumors about the ruthlessness of the eldest prince, Horos. When he was the governor of the Riverlands, the bastard was given a glass of poisoned wine and sent away just because he made a little mistake.
And if these things in the hands of the eldest prince are handed over to King's Landing, I am afraid that Harry will also be in danger, and he may also be given a glass of poisonous wine.
Because the obvious crime was written there, maybe His Highness the Prince heard about it and came to investigate.
Although the content in the notebook is not enough to be used as evidence, this matter cannot withstand investigation at all, because once investigated, all his bestiality will be exposed. After all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper.
It turns out that what Harry Strickland said was indeed correct. After managing money all his life, he really had no desire for money. The Strickland family also made a lot of money by working in the Golden Company.
However, Harry also has another hobby, which is lust.
Although Harry Strickland is very old and needs a cane to walk, this hobby has never stopped. He likes to look at all kinds of women, whether they are good-looking, mediocre or ugly, under him
Cheng Huan, sleeping with enough women and watching these living beings is his biggest hobby.
Therefore, those who wanted to please Harry Strickland and use the power in his hands took action in this regard and found various women for him.
Although Harry Strickland was lecherous and would accept anyone regardless of their appearance, he had only one requirement, which was that they could not be prostitutes. He hated those bitches that were ridden by thousands of people and thought of the expressions on their faces.
and the sounds in his mouth are all disguised.
Therefore, facing this special request of Harry Strickland, these people could only increase their methods and start to find targets for him from civilians in nearby villages and towns.
The people who bribed him were undoubtedly nobles or wealthy businessmen of that party, so the methods they used to find targets for him included inducement, kidnapping, ransoming from their husbands, etc.
Some women couldn't resist the temptation and stayed with old Harry for one night, while some were sold by their husbands directly, but some of them were kidnapped.
Although Harry Strickland kept his promise and would give him a sum of money and leave after spending one night with him, some of the abducted women could not bear the insult and committed suicide.
Therefore, although Harry Strickland did not kill anyone with his own hands, he was actually responsible for a lot of human lives. If these crimes were made public, they would inevitably arouse public outrage.
The empire now follows the rule of law, and nobles who break the law will be treated equally. The former governor of the Riverlands, Hendry Bracken, is a lesson learned from the past. Although the officials usually protect each other and turn a blind eye, if it gets too big, Harry Strickland
There is no way to escape death.
"Lord Harry Strickland."
However, just when old Harry was secretly regretting it, knowing that he might not be able to escape from the First Prince's Wuzhishan, Hross, who was about to walk out when he reached the door, suddenly stopped.
The brown-haired young prince frowned slightly. He recalled the names of the women he had seen in the book, plus the image of a kind-hearted old man like Harry Strickland. He suppressed the disgust in his heart, and then raised his head.
The voice spoke calmly.
"If it comes to pass, the Western Territory will be yours."
Heros suddenly stopped and said, then he opened the door and left here without looking back.
The old man with a bald head and a cane looked slightly startled when he heard this. Then he looked at the door that was not completely closed, and then let out a long sigh.
Although Harry Strickland was not a good person, he had been in the wilderness and court for decades and had seen countless people and experienced countless things.
"What an amazing young man..."
He knew that with this big stick and a sweet date, he could not betray His Highness the First Prince no matter what. Otherwise, the outcome would be extremely miserable, whether it was ruining his reputation or trying to seize the Western Territory.
It was ridiculous that he wanted to negotiate terms with the other party just now, but he never imagined that these Targaryens never negotiate terms with others.
Harry Strickland couldn't help but recall the time when Viserys used a scroll to persuade the Golden Company to surrender. He couldn't help but look a little confused. He didn't know why he was unable to fight back against the father and son of the Targaryen family.
.
...
Ever since the three heirs of the Targaryen family met at the Prince's Pass in Dorne but separated, the situation in the empire has fallen into treacherous territory.
The armies in the riverlands and valleys began to become more active frequently, and food and armaments suddenly became in short supply on the black market.
The black market is sometimes the most sensitive place to the country's wind direction. Usually food, weapons and armor are not out of stock, but now a buyer suddenly swept away all the goods, which naturally aroused the vigilance of all parties.
The unusual movements in the riverlands and valleys naturally aroused the vigilance of King's Landing.
As the Prime Minister, Willas Tyrell felt very bad in his heart, but he did not think that the eldest prince, Horos Targaryen, would be so bold.
His Royal Highness should not be such a person.
He should take precautions instead of acting impulsively. This is not his style at all, or what is His Highness so anxious about?
The Prime Minister Willas Tyrell was very worried, and after consulting Her Majesty the Queen, he sent letters to the Riverlands, the Valley, and the First Prince asking for the reason.
Later, Willas also conveyed the Queen's royal order, ordering King's Landing to enter a state of alert to prevent the armies from the Riverlands and Valley from suddenly moving south. The ports were also blocked on the sea to be alert to the active trajectory of the Dragonstone fleet.
And after doing all this, Vilas always felt that something was missing.
"What's missing?"
Afterwards, Willas thought deeply, and then wrote a personal letter in the name of the Royal Council and the country to Her Majesty the young queen Daenerys Targaryen in the continent of Essos...
However, just when Villas thought that everything was ready and there was nothing wrong, the accident happened so quickly.
