The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 136 Assassination
"It seems that our governor has a very good document and explains all the unreasonable things very well."

Hugo took the report and said that he is now sitting in the palace arranged by Governor Alexander. This palace once belonged to a slave owner. With the change of Myr, the slave owner was kicked out of the palace. This place naturally belongs to the Iron Throne. , and then became the place where the Governor's Palace of Mill used to entertain guests.

In order to express his welcome, Governor Alexander renovated the palace, replaced it with various expensive decorations and appliances, and also presented several pots of blue roses, which are expensive in the current environment. A pot of roses was placed in front of Hugo and Inis's table, but neither of them had any intention of messing with this precious flower, especially Hugo, who was completely indifferent to this flower that could be exchanged for a knight's territory. appearance.

The paper in Hugo's hand was the result of the financial investigation of Myr by the clerks who accompanied the team south. As the commander of Andas, Hugo did not have to do it himself. When he issued orders, there would naturally be people doing the work and records, so soon, in With the efforts of those clerks who had worked for many years, the report was delivered to them.

"This man has made the account book so perfect. It seems that it is basically impossible for us to find anything from here." Inis was also reading the report, but there was an expression of appreciation on his face, "It seems that we can only first Let's wait for the arrival of the special envoy to see what the Iron Throne's thinking is. The money-worshiping Earl has already thrown some unlucky people, and we can't say anything."

After Hugo and Inis entered Myr, although they were not very willing, they still began to carry out the orders of the Iron Throne and investigate the finance and administration of Myr. Due to what they saw along the way, they were originally prepared to confront Governor Alexander. In preparation for the investigation, Governor Alexander took the initiative to send over all the corresponding documents and uncovered some corrupt officials.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Governor is throwing away his car to protect his commander, and the corrupt officials he throws out are just some shrimps. But even if everyone knows, they can't do anything to him, because the Governor The finishing touches were really clean. Hugo and Inis originally planned to find out the problems with the Governor by investigating various reports. As a result, there were really no problems found in the Governor's documents. Even the outrageous expenditures were finally answered. reasonable explanation.

"Yes, let the special envoy of the Iron Throne take care of the rest. That little finger has a reputation in the Red Castle palace. I really want to see what he is capable of." Hu Ge said, although He really wanted to scold the money-worshiping Earl, but his thoughts were ultimately overshadowed by the thought that doing more would be better than doing less. After all, this was the Iron Throne's business, not his.

Besides, the one sent by the Iron Throne was Petyr Baelish. Others didn’t know who he was. They just thought he was a political star in the Red Keep, but Hugo knew very well who he was. For such a person, he believed that the flawless document in front of him had no meaning at all in front of Littlefinger.

Moreover, the place where he stayed now was not Andas, but Myr. He did not want to be captured outside his own territory and had his head chopped off like a certain Duke Stark.

As for the vagrants, Hu Ge, the vagrant, believes that the vagrants will not continue to cause trouble in the short term. The reason is that although the Mill government suppressed the vagrants, it also implemented the principle of giving a sweet date to a stick. They sent a large amount of supplies to the homeless people to comfort them.

Inis's thoughts were very feudal, which made Hugo shake his head subconsciously. He knew that this was the norm of this era, but after all, he was unwilling to accept it and would not choose such behavior. This was his bottom line.

However, if we want to maintain stability, we must find a stable enough job for these homeless people. In Hu Ge's view, taking advantage of the opportunities brought by the riots, sending these homeless people out of the city at once is the best option. But the governor here still missed this opportunity. As for now, homeless people can be seen everywhere on Mill Street.

Therefore, they then talked about other things, and what they were most concerned about was undoubtedly the Anti-Oriental Act.

Hugo saw more. In his opinion, Robert and Jon chose a very bad governor for Mill. It was really inappropriate for Mill to crowd in so many unemployed people. If he had controlled Mill, he would have been killed long ago. Drive these people out of the city and force them to farm on the Myr Plains - there are many places in the Myr Plains that can be cultivated.

"That Pate is interesting. Now I have serious suspicions that what he did is an anti-Orientalist move in Westeros. I looked at his information and found that he is just a cooper with unclean hands, but he made a fuss. Such a big storm." As Inis said these words, he would touch the handle of the dagger on his waist from time to time. This Frey was already murderous and wanted this clown to disappear.

Frey is one of the families that has benefited the most from the Eastern cause. The Frey family has acquired numerous real estates in the East, and a leader has emerged - a title equal to their title of king. Therefore, Frey was extremely angry at the anti-Eastern wave. There had been people advocating against the East in Pantos before, but they were quickly hunted down by Frey's soldiers.

This is what they did in Andas and Pantos. How could they let these people rot in the city? This precious labor force should be driven to farming or recruited into the army. Anyway, it cannot be left to them like that. It's rotten there.

"Maybe there is funding from the anti-Orientalists behind it, but in my opinion, it is more of a problem with the city itself. Inis and Myr have gathered too many adventurers. These people crossed the Narrow Sea and came to the East, but they could only Living in the slums, they must be full of anger that can be stirred up at any time, so they can be incited by people like Pat. "

In this city, Frey was most concerned about the demonstrations and riots that occurred not long ago. He also asked Governor Alexander for information on these people. Hugo was also curious about this, so he also took a look at it.

"Yes, the governance of this city is really bad. Speaking of which, although the money-worshiping Earl burned down the homeless camp, he only arrested a few homeless people and treated them as typical examples... Huh, this guy is still too soft-hearted. Since If these untouchables dare to riot, then they should be given a thorough lesson. If they are not killed in a river of blood, I think these untouchables still dare to cause trouble. "

Commander Frey on the opposite side plays such a protagonist. As a family that travels outside the lord all the year round, the Frey family has always been half-effort in serving their superiors - except when they need to work hard to make a big difference.

"Look, why did we send people there first? That Pate is just a poor man who came to the east. I have seen too many people like this. To deal with them, only swords can be used. And kill this guy. It can also teach the people behind him some lessons.”

Inis continued to speak, the murderous aura in his words rushed towards his face, which made Hugo hold his forehead directly, "Sir Inis, it is easy to kill a Pate, but it should not be now, nor should it be in this city, here After all, it is the capital of the New Seven Kingdoms and a city directly governed by the Iron Throne. At this critical moment, it is really not suitable to use the knife. Moreover, it is difficult for us to find that guy. "

Hugo felt tired from the bottom of his heart. This Lord Inis led troops to fight and was fine in simple governance, but when it came to politics, he was really not as good as his father and brother. And looking at him like this, Hugo also understood why he taught The children were such failures that both sons became useless. "Well, you're right, just don't move if you don't want to." Innis took the good advice and agreed when he saw what Hugo said. After all, for him, whether to kill this Pate or not was just a matter of convenience. If it doesn’t work for what you are doing, then it won’t work.

At this moment, a servant knocked on the door of their room, and the two of them stopped talking at the same time, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Hugo, Lord Inis, Governor Alexander wants to see you two." The voice that responded was a bit dull, but when this voice sounded, both Hugo and Inis felt something was wrong.

The servants of this palace are all the people they brought, because both Inis and Hugo attach great importance to their own safety, but neither of them recognize this voice here.

After exchanging glances with each other and confirming that neither of them were familiar with the voice, Hugo and Inis pulled out the decorative swords hanging on the wall and leaned against the door, pretending to be ready to attack.

"My lords? My lords, how long do you have until you come out?" The voice sounded again, and Inis responded, "Tell the governor that we are not going."

In response to them, there was silence for a while, and then after a while, a "yes" came out, and then it was quiet outside. Hugo and Inis waited for a while. Since there was no sound, they exchanged doubts with each other. The look in their eyes, just when they thought it was a direct mistake, the door was opened.

Four people wrapped in black robes, their faces hidden under the cloak, filed in, but they did not see the panicked assassination target, but the oncoming sword.

With the swing of the sword, a head and an arm were cut off. Amidst the screams of the person whose arm was cut off, the other two assassins were directly frightened by this scene. They are the hunters, aren't they? Why did he become the one being ambushed here instead.

One of the assassins reacted faster. When he saw Hugo and Inis rushing towards him, he immediately threw the dagger, forcing Inis to lower his body. The other assassin was not so lucky and was directly stabbed through the heart by Hugo.

The assassin who escaped the disaster had no excuse and jumped out of the window. The sound of breaking glass immediately alerted the guards outside. Amidst the shouts of "catch the assassin", the assassin was chased by many people. , there was a chaos of war outside.

"Damn it, Seven Gods, why are there assassins here? How does that Alexander do security work? And our guards, are they all dead? They actually got in like this!" In the pool of blood, Yi Nice said angrily, and Hugo also looked solemn. What happened was really bad, and Hugo thought of something that he couldn't ignore.

Soon, the news of the assassination of Commander Andas and Commander Pentos spread throughout Myr like a whirlwind. Soon the streets and alleys of Myr were full of people talking about it, and all the people in Myr were talking about it. The troops, including the governor, were rushing to the palace where the two commanders were being entertained.

However, when they arrived, except for a group of guards who blocked the scene, they could not see the two commanders at all. When they asked where the two commanders were, they couldn't tell. Anyway, the governor was nowhere to be seen here.

As for why they couldn't see it, it was because they ran outside the city. After dealing with the assassin, Hugo and Inis became more and more frightened. Moreover, the assassin was not caught. As for the guy who escaped, he committed suicide very decisively. No chance to catch it at all.

More importantly, none of these four people knew each other. In other words, four strangers entered their palace without anyone noticing. They bypassed so many guards and so many people. Many servants, just touched before their room.

So after some exchanges, Hugo and Inis reached a consensus: Since they can't find how the assassin got there, the problem is probably with the palace itself, especially Hugo, who knows that Varys is in the Red Keep. With those methods, God knows if there is Varys’s secret passage in this palace.

However, if they were to take the secret passage that they didn’t know existed, then the political significance emanating from it would be very great. This meant that the Iron Throne was involved in this matter. Therefore, the two people, who became more and more frightened as they thought about it, chose He left the palace directly and went outside Myr City first.

Initially, they all wanted to run back to the territory, but after calming down, they thought about it again. If the Iron Throne was going to kill them, there was no need to do this. And based on Hugo's understanding of Wallis, if Wallis arranged the assassination, how could it be so clumsy? Therefore, they next thought of the Governor, who also had this motive, but then they thought that although he had this motive, he also had this motive. There is no need to do this.

However, although several ideas were discarded, Hugo and Inis still did not dare to relax. In order to avoid the worst situation, they ran directly out of Mir, dug trenches outside the city of Mir, and built a small camp. , this camp is right next to the Cathedral of the Eastern Church of the Seven Gods outside of Myr, and you can also get help from the church.

At the same time, they also began to investigate the matter. No matter what, this matter was too strange, and they had to figure out what was going on.
