Gao Wunan's Legend of Wushuang
Page 71
The polymaths were shocked. They hugged the king's thigh and cried, "My lord! It's nothing to preach in the three cities of Liberty Bay, but many of the free trade city-states use slaves, and the governors will send us to the guillotine."
King Sauron reassured them: "I will prepare documents for you. You are acting according to my will. If the governors dare to kill you, they are provoking me. Xinyuri's iron hoof will break through their cities."
The polymaths were still reluctant, "My lord! The Free Cities are so hostile to you, how could they stop just because of a single threat."
King Sauron persuaded again: "Although there are risks, when you return, I will distribute the titles according to your achievements. You and your disciples and family members will occupy a place in Xinyuli."
The polymath continued to worry: "The governors may not do it themselves, but assassins and mercenaries are more than happy to take our lives as long as there is gold."
King Sauron accepted this suggestion and waved his hand, "Each of you will be escorted by ten Unsullied Ones, and they will ensure your safety."
The polymaths still hesitated. Although the temptation was great, the temptation was useless without their heads. They wept bitterly, holding King Sauron's thigh and telling all kinds of reasons why they could not go.
King Sauron persuaded him, persuaded him twice, persuaded him three times, and finally got impatient. He kicked away a few old guys who were wrapped around his legs, and said furiously, "You are afraid of the governor's sword and axe, don't you? Anger! If you go, you may die; if you don’t, you will die immediately!"
The polymaths were weeping and escorted home by the Unsullied. In the next few days, they will pack their bags, take their students, and head to the major city-states of Essos under the "escort" of ten Unsullied. .
As for the specific distribution among them, Wu Feng is not worried about it.
When Brian heard this, he hurried to the palace to meet the king. He remonstrated: "Educated scholars have a reputation in the city-state. It is absolutely forbidden to force them like this!"
Wu Feng sneered: "It's just that they are too prestigious. We need to find something for them to do. The governor's knife and ax will tell them who is the one who can really protect them."
Brian asked suspiciously, "Why did the king say that?"
Wu Feng took out a stack of letters from the side and handed them to him.
These letters are all made of yellowed paper. Feeling that the parchment used in the compilation of the law is expensive and labor-intensive, King Sauron summoned the artisans in the city to invent hemp paper made of rotten fishing nets and rags. This paper is tough enough Thin and simple in craftsmanship, it was mass-produced by King Sauron.
Of course, at present this kind of hemp paper is only circulated in the palace.
Brian praised the king's wisdom in his heart, but when he saw the content above, his face changed again and again.
It recorded in detail the exchange of letters between the polymath and the Governor of the Free Cities. They loudly slandered and protested the brutal rule of King Sauron, killed the Ghis slave owners with noble blood, and illegally confiscated their property - slaves. In the description of King Sauron, he is a great tyrant with the blood of innocent people on his hands.
"This..." Brian didn't know what to say. As for where the stack of letters came from, the face of a man named Shanu appeared in his mind unexpectedly.
"Hmph!" Wu Feng sneered, "If it wasn't for the fact that they had no actual collusion with the enemy, and now that their heads have been hung on the city gate, I think they are still useful, so let's find something for them to do."

Chapter 29 Tyranny
Originally, Brian was disturbed by Wang's oppression of polymaths, but after reading the document, he was shocked and angry again.
"The minister will send troops to guard their families." Brian's face was calm, and he would never allow anyone to harm Xin Yuli's interests.
"You can deal with this matter." Wu Feng waved his hand, and asked again, "I authorize you to form 'Hound Dog', can anyone choose?"
"I'm about to report to the king. This is the list of hounds. Please take a look at it." Brian took out a roll of waxed parchment from his pocket and presented it.
Wu Feng unfolded it and saw a familiar name inside, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Daario Na Harris, if I remember correctly, this person should be one of the three chiefs of the Stormcrows."
Brian nodded: "I have contacted this person before. This person is different from the other two leaders of the Stormcrows. He is dangerous and ambitious. He once promised me that if Xinyuli attacked Yunkai, he would lead The confidant fights for our army."
Of course, it didn't work out in the end.Bree said reassuringly, because the king alone made Yunkai give up resistance.
"You did a good job. In this case, there is no need for the other two captains of the Stormcrows. Our Daario must prefer that the Stormcrows have only one leader."
One word decided the fate of the famous Stormcrows in the Essos continent. This man has more and more the bearing of a generation of kings.
Brian sighed secretly, because there were still many things to deal with and left in a hurry.
As a result, not long after Brian left, the newly appointed Minister of Finance, Dorisia, asked to see her.
"Let her in."
The female official opened the palace gate and brought Dorisya under the throne. After a few days of seeing each other, this woman was dressed in a completely different dress. She put on the silk dress that Xinyuri's upper class loved most, and her long red hair was tied into a bun. The bun, together with the golden cigarette she never left her hand, exudes a graceful and elegant temperament.
Because King Sauron loved to wear silk on weekdays, the military officers and civil servants below competed to imitate it. The wind of silk flourished in Xinyuli, but no one could wear this woman's temperament.
Even King Sauron had to marvel at her beauty.
Of course, that's all. If the woman doesn't have the corresponding ability, he still tells her to go back to Meereen and run her brothel.
Fortunately, this woman is smart enough to choose another way decisively after realizing that there is no such meaning in the bottom of Wang's eyes.
Compared with government affairs ability, Wu Feng valued this woman's skill and vision in dealing with matters more.
For example, when two men who had just obtained the status of free citizens competed for a spouse during the slave period, this woman's judgment was very simple, that is, whoever could marry the woman in front of the temple would win.
As a result, one hesitated, and the other agreed on the spot, which also let the woman who was hesitant know how to choose.
It seems very simple, but just making such a judgment at a glance, its grasp of people's hearts is amazing.
Thanks to her, the mountain of problems was quickly resolved, and the development of the three city-states was slowly on the right track, completing the transformation process from slavery to feudalism at an astonishing speed.
But there are still some things that Dorisya can't decide and need to be ruled by the king.
"My lord, I provided the new free people with food and shelter as you ordered, and they were grateful for it. But the crime rate in the city also increased rapidly, and the free people lived in the city happily and doing nothing all day long. People will rush into the shop of the former owner after drunk, smash and kill people."
"The guards caught the perpetrator?"
"There are six of them, my king."
"Did I declare that no one shall rob, rape, or kill after entering the city?"
"You announced it."
"Then, hang those six drunk new freedmen."
"When they got caught they declared it was revenge."
"Revenge does not take place drunk, now, according to my law."
The expression on Dorisya's face remained unchanged, and she continued to report: "I have ordered people to take stock. Although the warehouses in the city are stocked with sufficient grain, oil, olives, dried fruits and cured meat, the total amount is decreasing. Because you liberated The governors of the three city-states in Slaver's Bay and the Free Trade City-states strictly ordered caravans to trade, and the merchants also regarded Freedom Bay as a place of chaos."
"The lifeblood of Xinyuri must be in your own hands. You just told me that the free people live happily in the city all day long, so who is giving birth to Xinyuri?"
"Before you came, thousands of slaves worked hard day and night in the mountains to herd sheep, collect salt, dig mines, grow wheat and olives. But now they are free and don't want to work any more."
King Sauron closed his eyes, pointed at the armrest of the throne, and opened his eyes after a long time, "This is my negligence, I will not cherish what is too easy to obtain. Tell the free people, except for young children, the elderly and the disabled, all free people You have to work to get food, and distribute food and money according to the amount of work you do.”
"In addition, what happened just now reminded me that I should send people to register with the families that once owned slaves, and record the service years of each slave they owned. Each family must pay the former slaves according to the number of years. For killing slaves without reason Slave owners who are slaves should be judged according to their crimes. You can contact Brian about this matter, and he will help you."
"You promised not to pursue what came before."
"Because of this, this trial will be extremely lenient. Only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will die, and those who remain guilty will be sentenced to prison or a fine." The king's words made Dorisya understand his cruelty and violence. Even so, there will still be many The heads of the nobles of Meereen fell to the ground.
Because before that, the slaves were just the animals of the slave owners. Whoever saw the slaughter of animals had to ask the opinions of the animals.
"This will cause the former rulers to panic." Dorisya thought to herself, as a member of the slave owners, she knew their thoughts too well. They had to bend their knees and obey.
But the extreme fear will lead to a crazy counterattack afterward. Maybe they will face a deeper hell, but maybe they will get a glimmer of life. How the former slave owner will choose is unknown.
Dorisya deliberately persuaded that Xin Yuli's ability-only supremacy gave her a chance to display her talents, not to mention that her fate was already tied to Xin Yuli in a sense,
However, when she wanted to persuade, she accidentally looked into Wang's eyes, and her understanding of people's hearts allowed her to understand everything instantly. This kind of cognition made this woman who has always been elegant and elegant feel shuddering from the bottom of her heart.
What a pair of deep, dark eyes!
So cold!So ruthless!It's ice and fire!It's iron and blood!It is killing and death!It is destruction and rebirth!
She suddenly remembered what Brian once said to her: "Because the king is wise, don't try to deceive the king, because no one can bear this price... The king is also lonely, don't try to get too close to the king, because it will only burn yourself …The only thing we can do is follow in the footsteps of the king, look up at the back of the king, and accomplish the great cause of the king, because the king will bring us a bright future..."

Chapter 30 Law and Blood
When the six new freedmen who were drunk and killed their former masters were taken across the long street in a prison cart, the two sides of the long street and the square were crowded with the new freedmen and the people of Yunkai.
They were divided into two distinct groups, one group cursed in the most vicious language and shouted to hang these evil thugs, while the other group cried out in pain and asked the king to forgive them and forgive these poor people blinded by hatred .
This sound culminated until King Sauron ascended his throne in the middle of the square, and the people of Yunkai stood on the side of the surrounding buildings and pyramids, and they bowed in the king's direction, saluting their righteous king.
The new free people fell to their knees, kissed the land the king walked to show respect and love, and begged the king not to hang the six former compatriots.
King Sauron sat on a high platform, and on both sides of him stood Brian, Dorisia, Gray Worm, Doro and all the subjects of Xinyuli, who were eagerly waiting for the king's instructions.
Facing the cheers and pleadings of the people, the king waved his hands expressionlessly. A judge from Braavos who was appointed by the king stepped onto the high platform. He first read the crimes committed by the six people: destroying people’s property, robbery, Murder, because they were captured on the spot, and the evidence is solid, they were sentenced to death according to the "Freedom Code of Sauron".
The executioner led the hooded criminals to the gallows, looped them around their necks, and passed the rope through the side chute. A total of twelve executioners pulled up violently from the ground to lift the criminals up from the ground.
The hands of the six new freedmen were tied behind them, their feet kicked wildly, and they whimpered in pain. The struggle quickly became weaker as time went by, until there was a violent convulsion and then there was no movement.
The next moment, there were two completely different voices of cheering and crying.
The new free people pushed the soldiers, they made angry voices, they dared not question the king, they could only vent their inner anger by cursing the Meereen witch Dorisia who had deceived the king.
"O king! Please look at us!"
"Graceful Father! Have mercy on your poor son!"
"Witch! You can't deceive the king! You will be punished!"
The people of Yunkai sneered. On the one hand, they were afraid of the majesty of the king, and on the other hand, they were secretly dissatisfied with the deprivation of their property. In their minds, it was an unforgivable felony for a slave to attack his master, but it was too cheap to hang them .
They cheered with joy!
Then, Wang motioned again.
The Unsullied poured in from all around, spears and shields in hand, causing the crowd to stir uneasy.
The judge unfolded another piece of hemp paper again, "Those whose names have been reported, please come forward." After he finished speaking, he reported their names one by one. What made the people of Yunkai nervous was that all the people who reported their names were former slave owners. Many of Yunkai's original lords were among them.
Under the threat of spears, those whose names were reported had to go to the front stage, and some wanted to resist, but were roughly pulled out of the crowd by the guards and thrown off the stage.
Half an hour later, there were already hundreds of people crowded in front of the stage. They communicated uncomfortably, but did not get any useful information.
In the audience, tens of thousands of eyes bet on it.
"Next, let me read their crimes." The young judge coughed and read again.
"Grazdan Mo Eraz, when he was the lord of Yunkai, committed the killing of 21 innocent slaves including children, ordered the castration of nine male slaves, and raped 47 female slaves. The crime is serious and sentenced to death ..."
"Boom!" There was an uproar in the audience, and this time it was the Yunkai's people's turn to attack the soldiers. They called out to their family and friends standing on the stage, and yelled at the king for forgiveness.
Grazdan Mo Eraz's face was full of disbelief, and he immediately fell on the ground and begged for mercy: "Great and wise King Sauron! You once promised to spare our lives!"
