Chapter 150 Big backer?
"Father told me to let him know when I go back to the Red Keep every day after my sword practice. So yesterday I went home to look for him, and I heard King Robert's voice from afar. Get closer and I can hear that they are there. Talking about Varys...that's the Master of Whisperers, my father seems to be questioning 'which side of the eunuch is this on'." Arya tried to recall, "I pushed the door in and said hello to the father and he let me leave, and then After a while, at the dinner table... ah, I remembered, they seemed to say they wanted to summon that Slynt!"

"Summoned him for what?"

"I don't know. , father let me go back to the room after dinner, there are guards watching outside his room, I can't stick it outside the door to eavesdrop."

Tsk, Igor frowned: information provided by Arya It seems to be very important, but after thinking about it, it is completely irrelevant - the king summoned the commander of the King's Landing armed forces for many reasons, even if the matter was indeed related to rumors, but did not overhear the key conversation content, who? Do you know if Robert wants to kill Lannister, or just ask about the investigation of the rumor and the arrest of the spreader?

Since it was peaceful in King's Landing from last night to this morning, it means that what happened to oneself is not the former situation, but if Robert didn't act on House Lannister immediately, he thought everything is fine...

p>

Tyrion hadn't come back yet, but Igor had a faint hunch that Slynt, who had just received the king's personal reception, probably wouldn't buy him an account of an idle Lannister with a surname, but neither position nor power.

"I'll go and call Aquan in and let him continue to practice with you."

"Stop practicing, let's wait for Tyrion to come back." Arya put the wooden sword aside Throw, followed along: "How to kill a bastard, I also want to see... No, I must participate!"

＊＊＊

King's Landing citizens don't need to know Imp, But the soldiers of the garrison who are the city guards and the city management can't. Tyrion relied on a high degree of recognition, and took Morris through the door easily into the East Camp of the garrison. Under the guidance of the golden robes along the way, he found the Lord Commander's office.

Finishing his expression, Tyrion pushes the door in with a businessman's sleek smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Slynt, how have you been recently?"

"It's very bad, there are so many things to do, I can't be too busy." Slynt faced The visitor was a little surprised, but he still sat lazily behind the commander's desk - neither meant to get up, nor did he ask the visitor to sit: "Tyrion Ser, you are so busy, why do you come to the garrison when you have time? Is it?"

"Ai, isn't this recent, there seems to be some misunderstanding between the Night's Watch office and the garrison." Tyrion doesn't just look short, his legs are slightly deformed and he can't stand for long. . Although the master didn't speak, he still had to find a chair and sit down: "I, the manager, have to come out and clarify."

"oh?" Slynt hummed without a smile. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding, why don't I know?"

"This morning, a group of soldiers from the garrison ran to the paper mill I manage outside the city and said they were searching for contraband. What's going on?"

"Oh, that's what happened. Well, we got a report that someone was raising private soldiers and hoarding weapons and food on the Blackwater Rush outside King's Gate. King's Landing After all, it is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, this impudent behavior, I, the commander of the garrison, have to take it seriously."

"Lord Slynt, those food and grass weapons are the preparations for the Night's Watch Legion and will be shipped to the Wall at any time. ; The so-called private soldiers are the guards of factories and warehouses, as well as the recruits trained by Night's Watch. The Prime Minister Ed, the Prime Minister, is well aware of these situations and has signed a permit certificate. For these reasons, he came to investigate. Isn't it just a misunderstanding."

"Hey, it's really a misunderstanding, but I can't blame the brothers below. You guys didn't say hello sooner. I didn't start the Night's Watch industry. Who knows the details?" Slynt raised Erlang's legs: "Of course, since Lord Tyrion came to explain in person, I know the situation. If it disturbs the normal work of your subordinates, I am here to say sorry. But well, If we still receive other reports in the future, we will still be dispatched to carry out routine investigations, and please understand that Mr. Tyrion has to do what he has to do.”

“Indeed, the previous The misunderstanding is that we didn't think carefully and caused trouble to the brothers of the garrison, and I also ask Commander Slynt to forgive me." Tyrion already felt wrong, and few people dared to speak to oneself in such a mystifying way. Suppressing his unhappiness, he continued: "Night's Watch industry, the current manager in King's Landing, is Igor West and my disciple Nina. Well, this man and woman, one who used to be a soldier in The Wall, is a rough man. ; One was born in a commoner family and has never seen the world. Both of them don't know the rules very well, so there will always be some problems in doing things in the city. Here, I apologize for them both. Commander Slynt has a big belly. , please take more care of these two youngsters."

"Wherever it is, everything is for King Robert. As long as obediently and honestly, and obeying the many laws made by Your Majesty, am I going to come and find trouble?"

......

Aren't you just asking for trouble now?
Tyrion couldn't bear to continue wrangling with the greasy man in front of him, he took out the 100 Golden Dragon bonds he had prepared and put it on the table: "Then I'll trouble the commander, please take this treat. Go, it's a reward for the brothers who ran around and worked hard."

Slynt glanced down at the note on the table, complexion changed: "What do you mean? Don't you think, This money can buy the loyalty of me, the commander of the King's Landing garrison?"

"No, there is no other meaning, we all know that your loyalty to King Robert cannot be measured in any material. This is purely as an apology for the offense my two little friends had previously offended, and please accept it, Lord Slynt, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well this night."

"If you can't sleep well, rest more, Tyrion. Sir, these two short legs, why do you have to work for other people's faults?" Slynt smiled contemptuously, "It's not that I don't give you this face, but whoever made it, who should solve it, Lord Tyrion, please come back Come on, let that precious disc of yours talk! A little girl is so big, I can't even invite you?"

What kind of shit are you, how dare you use my disc's brain?
Before it's released, Tyrion promises to burst out a foul language in an instant. As a dwarf, he undoubtedly has a stinky mouth that is good at bringing trouble and danger to oneself, and if he hadn't had a good father, he would have been dead for a long time.

However, managing the Night's Watch industry has benefited him a lot. He is full of ideas and talents, and he has a place to use them. As a businessman, the truth comes from his mouth and the art of forbearance. He also gradually Start to master.

The muscles of his cheeks twitched, and Tyrion resisted the urge to curse and threaten, sighed, and took back the note: "In this case, I will tell the two youngsters at home what Commander Slynt means, and let him know. Let them decide by themselves."

"That's good," Slynt smirked, "No."

＊＊＊

Garrison Base Camp Just across the road from the Night's Watch offices, Tyrion didn't keep Igor and Arya waiting. As Igor expected, he patted the bond on the table - such a huge sum of money for one hundred Golden Dragon, he didn't want to give it away.

"He confiscated!" Arya looked rather pleased, "Then we can now discuss how to kill him!"

"Do you like 'killing' people? ?" Tyrion rolled his eyes at the girl, his expression a little unnatural: "Strange, as far as I know, isn't this Slynt a commoner background... How can it be so attractive, you haven't heard his taunting me, have you investigated his origins? Background?"

"Lord Igor told me to collect information, and I got a lot of information from the people who used to be in the Littlefinger brothel." Nina reported, "Slynt is the commoner background, yes , his father is a butcher, and after being appointed by Robert to be promoted to the post of garrison commander by accident, after a short period of time, he began to do bad things everywhere. For going too far, Jon Arryn planned to dismiss him when he was alive. , but King Robert said - 'Blindly is better than tucked away, and the next one may be worse', so Slynt kept his position, and even worsened after the death of the former Prime Minister."

……

Is it better to be blatant than to hide it? Only an absurd person like Robert can say this kind of theism. It is also a bad thing, and the social impact that can be caused blatantly is thousands of times more sneaky. In addition to the objective damage to the country, it will also cause serious damage. Affecting social ethos and stability of governance, and the latter two hazards are difficult to remedy after the fact, enough to overturn a dynasty.

Robert impossible doesn't understand this simple truth, but apparently he seriously underestimated the detrimental effect Slynt could have on Iron Throne. Rather than change to an unfamiliar garrison commander, he actually intends to tolerate a little wrongdoing by oneself in appointing this person.

"It's hard to find a loyal garrison commander? Why would a king tolerate such a subordinate?"

"Because he is easy to use, the king knows what he is like. but he felt that he was very handy, so he didn’t want to replace him.” Nina explained: “Before the former Master of Coin defected, she once said to the people in his brothel, ‘Janos Slynt has no fart ability, the only advantage is that Obedient, even if Robert asks him to go home and hang the oneself old mother, this guy will eagerly run back and do it.' It is for this reason that he is favored by Robert and has been sitting firmly in the position of commander of the garrison for many years."

"To put it bluntly, he is an executioner who has no bottom line and only executes orders. His father is a butcher, so Slynt is still a different kind of son?" Tyrion suddenly said, "so that's how it is , his confidence is that the backer of oneself is the king! No wonder he is so arrogant that no one is afraid, speaking of which, this backer is really hard enough, and ordinary people can't help him."

"Holding King's Landing has 2,000 golden robe sons and a king as a backer. This guy is more difficult to deal with than expected."

"But now that we have found out his details, we can't think of a targeted solution. Okay?" Tyrion smiled coldly, "The king is unreliable, fortunately, we don't have a new prime minister who hates evil. Eddard Stark probably won't care what Robert has to say if he has evidence of his mischief."

Arya puffed up her little chest proudly: "That's necessary, my father, but even the king dares to quarrel with him!"

...

"It's sloppy, Robert's one! It's just a dog, how dare you be so arrogant," Tyrion took a deep breath and cursed in a vent. "Why do you have to work for someone else's mistakes? If I don't take him down within three days, Lannister's last name will be written upside down!"

"Support support support!" Arya seems to like listening to Tyrion Dirty words, so excited that I could hardly sit still in the chair: "Then let's start discussing now, how to kill him!"
