Renly sighed, Lysa Tully had such an old father come to plead, everyone couldn't bear to see it: "It's no use for him to go to the Eyrie. You ordered the beheading."

Robert held his face with his hands, his face was exhausted: "I pronounced the sentence according to the laws of the kingdom, there is nothing wrong with it, can the death penalty be exempted by intercession, then why do you need the laws of the kingdom and you, the Minister of Justice!"

Chapter 180 The Tully Family

Hoster Tully, the patriarch of the Riverland Tully family, governor of the Trident River, and Duke of Riverrun, is only 64 years old this year, but his body is very weak due to long-term illness, and he looks unusually old.

When he was young, he traveled around and made many friends. In his middle age, he participated in the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings. Later, he was a staunch supporter of Robert's war to overthrow the Targaryen. He was quite famous among the older generation of nobles in the Seven Kingdoms.

Some time ago, Blackfish Brynden Tully secretly escorted Lysa Tully back to Riverrun.Although the youngest daughter committed such a heinous crime, Old Horst was very happy that the family could get together for a short time and have a few good meals.

In the small banquet hall in Riverrun City, the Tully family was all there.

Blackfish Brynden remained silent. He had already done what he needed to do. Now that his brother was here, he didn't need to express his opinion on whether his children lived or died.

Originally, he and his elder brother had conflicts because of the marriage contract. After seeing the old face and bent body, he felt that his elder brother's time was short, so he let go of the hatred in his heart. During this time, he stayed by his elder brother's side to chat with him. Talk about the past of the two when they were young, the experience of quarreling, fighting, and traveling around.

Edmure and Caitlin knew the ins and outs of the matter best. When talking with the old Duke, Caitlin's attitude became firm: "Sister Lysa Tully was deceived and deceived by Littlefinger, and Littlefinger is The chief culprit, she deserves to die."

Edmure sneered after hearing this: "Why didn't you say it in front of the nobles of the valley when you were in King's Landing? The evidence is solid. My opinion is that in order to appease the nobles of the valley and protect the family's reputation, I advocate impartial law enforcement. beheaded his illegitimate son."

Lysa Tully was feeding her son, and she didn't care what the family around her said, her eyes were full of disgust for the family.

Hoster Tully pointed at Lysa with a trembling finger, "Where's Littlefinger?"

Lysa Tully suddenly sent her son away and stood up, grabbed the plate in front of her and threw it at her brother Edmure: "You want me to die, don't you! Then you die first!"

Edmure avoided the dinner plate with his head, and the soup leaves splashed all over him, making him very embarrassed.

Lysa Tully was still furious, she pointed at her father: "You, you old man! If you hadn't forcibly separated me and Littlefinger back then, forced me to have an abortion, and let me marry Ayrin's tooth at the age of 20 A dead ghost who has lost half, how can I be reduced to this point? I will always hate you! Bah!"

Without the slightest bit of guilt in her heart, she spit out a mouthful of old phlegm in front of the old prince.

Horst Tully was very sad. Littlefinger was the son of a knight he had befriended during the Battle of the Nine Copper Kings. After the knight died in the battle, he adopted Littlefinger as his adopted son.His daughter Lysa fell in love with him and became pregnant with a child. At that time, he wanted her to marry a high-ranking nobleman. Although Littlefinger was an adopted son, he had no status, so he forced his daughter to drink moon tea and married Duke Arryn.

The distance between Eyrie City and Riverrun City is not too far. My daughter has been married for more than ten years and has never been back to visit. The older Horst is, the more he feels sorry for his little daughter.

"Stop it," said Hoster Tully, choked up, tears streaming down the furrows of his face.

"I will never forgive you! I will haunt you even after I die! And you, brother who wants me to die, I will curse you that you will never have a son before I die!" Lysa Tully replied roaring.

Edmure was also furious: "Lysa! You haven't repented yet! You're crazy! Hopelessly crazy!"

"Don't make any noise!"

Old Horst slapped the table and shouted with all his strength.

Seeing that the three children all stopped, he told his younger brother: "Brynden, lock Lysa Tully into the bedroom, let the soldiers guard the door, and only the maid who delivers meals can go in and out."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the banquet hall slowly with the help of the maid. The maid who kept watch that night heard the old Duke crying in the bedroom until very late.The next day, he took a few personal guards and boarded the carriage to King's Landing City. He knelt down in front of the Red Castle by himself, wanting to exchange his old life for the life of his youngest daughter.

Hoster Tully took off his burqa and Tully family crest, and wanted to plead for his daughter as an old father, but you, Horst Tully, are here, so how can you separate yourself from Riverland? ?The young people didn't know him, and the older nobles knew the news now, and the whole city of King's Landing was paying attention to this matter in private, which made Robert feel difficult. For the first time, he felt that he would have a headache if he didn't drink alcohol.

Originally, today was a happy and happy day. The little princess Jocelyn Baratheon officially met with the nobles. It was the first time that Renly's little dragon was taken out of the house. T. Tully was disturbed.

Sensing the change in Renly's mood, the little dragon that got into his clothes also crawled out from the collar, and climbed up to the top of Renly's head to look at Robert with his small head.

"This is your dragon?" Robert poked at its head. He was afraid of Werther's big one, but he was not afraid of the small one.

The sense of smell of dragons is not only sensitive, their bodies are generally made of magic, and the special structure can even smell the blood of the opponent.Although Robert can't establish a magical connection with dragons, he is also similar to Renly's blood. As long as Robert doesn't want to attack or climb on the dragon's back, the dragon will generally not take the initiative to hurt him.

Xiaolong's teeth are just a few very small white protrusions, like a cat's teeth, which can tear through human skin if he bites hard.But the little dragon had found that Robert was not hostile, and Renly was beside him, so he bit Robert's finger vigorously, and began to wrestle with Robert's finger.

Robert's finger hurt a little, but the skin was not bitten. Seeing that the little dragon that had just hatched was so eager to fight, Robert also got excited. He stood up and raised his hand. The little dragon still bit Robert's index finger Hanging in the air, the two wings flapped constantly.

Robert looked at the dragon. "Very brave! Have you given him a name?"

Renly: "Petvaha, which means the mercy of spring roses, is pronounced in Dragon language as Peyt~Vah~Aaz~."

Renly's bodyguards who were waiting on the other side were also of noble origin. Today, they were supposed to meet the little princess in the lobby of the Red Keep. Because Renly said that he wanted to protect the little dragon, Robert allowed them to enter here.After they heard the dragon's name, they all looked at Loras Tyrell, who was titled Knight of Flowers, and the symbol of his family crest was roses. Loras waved and smiled at them, then turned to look at Renly affectionately.

Renly saw Loras looking at him, smiled at him too, and turned to Robert and said, "Little Rose is pregnant, that's why I took the name."

Robert: "Congratulations! It seems that you are very fond of your wife, Little Rose of Highgarden. You want to protect her forever. That's a good name."

Barristan, who was standing beside Robert, heard that Little Rose was pregnant, and looked at the queen who was stroking Little Rose's belly. This is something every noble would like to see.

There was a knock on the door, and a soldier stood at the door: "Your Majesty, all the ministers of the Imperial Council have arrived at the meeting hall."

"Let's go, Renly. After taking a day off, we have to go to a meeting again." Robert walked out of the gate, and the little dragon in his hand let go of his mouth and fell to the ground, crawling towards Renly.

Renly picked up the little dragon from the ground and followed Robert closely: "You seem to be very diligent in politics, which time the prime minister held a meeting on your behalf."

The ministers who were going to attend today's banquet were urgently summoned to the imperial meeting room. They understood the content of today's meeting when they passed by the gate of the Red Castle.

Stannis: "Your Majesty, Denys Arryn of the Vale should decide this matter. If they disagree, the king will pardon Lysa Tully because someone interceded. I am afraid that the nobles of the Vale will feel resentment."

Minister of Justice Renly: "Dennis Ayrin and other nobles in the valley are the victims, but the judgment was ordered by the king. If Dennis agrees to pardon, it should also be pardoned by the king!"

Grand Maester Pycelle: "The king has let me fly the ravens to the Eagle's Nest in the morning, but at night the ravens will also go to the woods to sleep and rest. It will take four days at the most. In the morning, I will see Huo The body of the Duke of Sturt may not be able to last that long."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Mace Tyrell: "Then can we bring him to the Red Keep first? He can't just kneel at the door like this."

Barristan was very helpless: "We tried it. The old duke said he wouldn't go anywhere. Even if we forcibly kidnapped him, he would refuse to eat or drink and hunger strike to protest. Moreover, his body is so strong that if we touch him He will die any moment."

Matus Rowan, Hand of the King: "It seems that Duke Hoster's own wish is to exchange his life for his life."

Robert looked tired and angry: "Old Horst, how can he be so stupid! He's putting me on the fire now!"

Now he is in a dilemma, the most important thing is that the attitude of the valley is too late to obtain, and the old Horst will die there at any time, so a decision must be made as soon as possible.

Without pardon, Duke Horst knelt down in front of the Red Castle and upheld the kingdom's laws, but later received news from Gudi, and Gudi agreed not to pursue it, so he became a bad person and made some old people cold Noble heart.

If the pardon is granted, the laws of the kingdom cannot be guaranteed. If Gu Di continues to pursue the matter, he will offend all the nobles in the valley.

Favor, law, valley attitude.

Robert slapped the table: "Steamer! Varys, do you have any news about it? Is there someone behind the Duke of Hoster?"

Varys: "According to my information, the only people the old duke has seen recently are his younger brother, Edmure, Caitlin, and Lysa. They are all members of the Tully family and have never seen outsiders."

Stannis: "Then vote!"

Mace Tyrell: "Wait a minute, we don't have to pardon her, just absolve her from death."

Grand Maester Pycelle: "She can be sent to a convent as a nun."

Renly: "No! Although a nun gave up her family business and name, she can become a bishop of the Seven Gods, or even an archbishop. Don't forget that Lysa Tully has received an excellent education. , who of you would like to let her preside over your children's weddings in the future?"

Mace Tyrell: "If you want to pardon her capital crimes, cut out her tongue and make her a silent sister, disposing of corpses every day. How about my suggestion?"

Renly: "Anyway, I don't agree to a pardon, she deserves to die, and her bastard!"

At this moment, Kingsguard Lynn Corbray opened the door and came in and said to the crowd, "Your Majesty the King, all ministers, Duke Hoster at the gate of the Red Castle is dead."

One life for one life, since he couldn't wait, Robert himself didn't want to take the blame, "Vote who agrees to pardon Lysa Tully."

Mace Tyrell, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Grand Maester Pycelle, Barristan, Captain of the Kingsguard, Stannis, Sea Lord, and Varys, Chief of Intelligence, all agree.

Lord Lord Renly himself, and on behalf of First Archmage Werther, objected.Rowan, Hand of the King, objected.

Roberta shrugged and hesitated for a long time, the meeting room was quiet and no one wanted to speak.

Finally, Robert spoke: "Barristan, send someone to collect the body of the Duke of Hoster and send it back to Riverrun. Pardon Lysa Tully's death, but cut off her tongue, and be a silent sister in Riverrun forever." .The bastard Robert Arryn upholds the original sentence and beheaded! Send a Kingsguard to supervise the execution."

The matter is temporarily over like this, and no one can tell clearly whether it is done well or badly.Some people are lamenting that the Duke of Hoster loves his daughter deeply, and some people are mocking that the laws of the kingdom have been trampled on.

Until the third day, the letter crows from the valley returned, not one letter, but letters from the nobles of the valley were sent to the Red Castle one after another.

Dennis Arryn didn't want to instigate animosity with the Reach, and agreed to pardon the death penalty for other crimes.Other nobles in the valley agreed, and some disagreed. They insisted that Lysa Tully and her son die together. Dennis Arryn did not have enough control over the valley, and he did not have enough prestige to unify the opinions of the nobles in the valley.

Kingsguard Lynn Corbray arrived at Riverrun with King Robert's latest sentence and the old duke's body.

According to the king's word of mouth, Lysa Tully was allowed to attend her father's funeral before execution.According to the tradition of Hejian, the funeral ceremony puts the body on a small boat, adds firewood and pours kerosene, and relatives put flowers on it. The boat goes down the river, and the closest person who was alive shoots a rocket to ignite the boat.

On the bank of the Red Fork River where the funeral was held, all the nobles of the riverlands could be there, and the Frey family alone occupied a large area.

Under the influence of Werther, the Tully family is a little richer than in the original world, but Edmure is still a dandy, and has never married since he became rich. There are more women around him.

Lysa Tully, who was in chains next to him, kept yelling and interfering, so he showed the nobles the stunt of "The Great Archer of the River Bend", and the three arrows missed his father's boat.Even more crooked than in the original world.

It was his uncle Blackfish Brynden who made the rescue.Blackfish Brynden did not raise any objections to the duke's inheritance rights. Edmure was the only surviving son of the old duke. The Tully family had no succession disputes. Edmure has now become the new governor of the Trident River, the Lord of Riverrun.

Lynn Corbray cut off Lysa Tully's tongue with a dagger in the presence of the new Duke and nobles of the Reach.His son was next, Robert Arryn in chains, with cloths over his mouth and eyes.The executioner pushed him down on the stone pier. Lysa Tully tried to run to her son despite her mouth full of blood, but was pushed to the ground by the soldiers. No matter how hard she struggled, she could only watch her son's head fall to the ground.

Chapter 180 Two Most Wanted Criminals in the Seven Countries

If you want to say which place the Stark family in the North hates the most, it is located in the riverlands, and the Kneeling Stack between the city of Riverrun and the town of Earl Harroway can be ranked first.

This is where Aegon the Conqueror conquered the Seven Kingdoms 300 years ago, and Toren Stark, King of the North, bowed his knee and surrendered to him.Later, someone built an inn here. One side of the inn is next to the Trident River.

Aristocrats, merchants, and travelers traveling from north to south, every time they enter the inn, they can see a king kneeling and offering his crown on the signboard of the inn, which is a great mockery to the Stark family. Caitlin Tully would rather travel more than rest here.

The inn is full of activity, some are eating, some are temporarily staying here to drink in the lobby, there are also women who come from other places to do skin and meat business, as well as thieves, mercenaries, and many unknown people.

In addition to entertainment with women, the most popular places in this kind of place are wandering troupes and troubadours. Today, there is a troubadour in the inn playing the harp in the hall, telling nasty jokes about Lysa Tully vividly.

"Nothing, I've heard it all."

"Yes, yes, we people in the Riverlands are more familiar with Lysa Tully than you, tell me something else! Otherwise there will be no reward!"

"Talk about the bullshit!"

The troubadour smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you a really fierce story, about Werther Baratheon and his dragons, and about him and women."

"Woo~~"

There was booing in the hotel lobby.

"Dude, are you just starting out?"

"You still need to tell Werther's story? Why don't I do it!"

The troubadour was extremely embarrassed, and wiped the sweat off his brow, he had indeed just entered the profession not long ago. "Then let me tell you about the three most wanted criminals in Westeros right now."

"This is good!"

"Well done, let me buy you a drink!"

The troubadour sits upright and calms down, as long as someone listens to the story, he won’t run out of food today:

"It's said that the old gods created the world, ouch~"

A dozen wooden goblets fell on him, and the troubadour quickly said: "No, don't hit me, the third place is Ramsay Snow!"

"Haven't heard of it?"

"I know, the evil skinners from the North!"

The guests were all interested, and they all ended their chats with their tablemates, and turned their heads to the troubadour.Littlefinger Baelish, who was dressed in coarse cloth and had his face smeared with oil, was also interested. He stood in the shadow of the candle light on the second floor, stopped working with a broom in his hand, and was listening to stories.

Bard: "This Ramsay Snow, should be about 18 years old this year, is the illegitimate son of Lord Roose Bolton of the Dreadfort in the North. In the early years, the Earl raised him outside the Dreadfort, and no one disciplined this bastard His evil deeds when he grows up are even more heinous! If Robb Stark hadn't made his crimes public, I can't think of such disgusting people in the world!"

"How about it? Tell me."

Troubadour: "A few years ago, there was a murder case near the Dreadfort in the north. The deceased was a young civilian woman. She was stripped of her clothes and driven into the forest. After being chased, her arms and legs were cut off. Kill after insult."

"No! I've seen the arrest warrant in the northern border." Someone retorted, who seemed to be a literate person: "That villain is a corpse that killed a woman before insulting it!"

Coax~~~

Sure enough, it was fierce and explosive enough, and there was an exclamation in the hall.

Troubadour: "Hehe, this matter was originally an unsolved case. The Seven Kingdoms conquered the northern border of the Stone Step Islands and marched south, but this villain did not change his mind and continued to commit crimes while the defense of the northern border was empty. There were women one after another near the Dreadfort Tragic death, Roose Bolton's son Domeric Bolton was also injured, causing great panic, the Duke of Winterfell appointed his eldest son, Robb Stark, to take people north to track down the matter urgently .”

"Others may not be able to find out, but Robb Stark is unusual. He is Werther Baratheon's apprentice. He is a powerful magician who can use all kinds of weird magic to investigate cases. This The investigation led to a major case. There were fifteen women and four boys missing near the Dreadfort. Robb Stark found the bodies, and the bodies were all mutilated. They were still searching at Ramsay Snow's house Out came eight women's skins, and three men's dried treasures."

"The worst case was a miller's daughter, and it was also a case where everyone got stolen. The victim's intestines were ripped out and cut off, and the two ends were tied to two tree trunks. Robb Stark followed the trail, I saw a man humiliating the dead body, and was caught on the spot. When he was dragged to the Dreadfort for trial, the man was full of lies. Fortunately, Robb Stark was there, and he used magic to make him reveal the truth. The two have been together Committed murder, the real Ramsay Snow has already gone south and fled."

"What kind of devil from hell is this!"

"It's not human at all!"

The voice of the bard became high-pitched: "Winterfell offered 1000 golden dragons, and the Dreadfort offered 500 golden dragons, a total bounty of 1500 golden dragons! Ramsay Snow has repeatedly escaped, and Robb Stark chased him from the north." The Riverlands haven't caught him yet, so he's the third most wanted man in the Seven Kingdoms!"

Many people are illiterate, this is the first time they heard it, and they all sighed that this fierce man was so able to escape.

"Tch! It took me a long time to get 1500 gold dragons, insects!"

Littlefinger, who was eavesdropping on the second floor, despised this cruel and mindless behavior very much, with a contemptuous expression on his face.

The troubadour continued: "Everyone knows the second place, so I'll just say it briefly. Petyr Baelish, nicknamed "Little Finger", the king offered 2000 gold dragons, and the Eagle's Nest City gave 2000 gold dragons. Golden dragon, Riverrun City gave 1000 golden dragons, a total of 5000 golden dragons, ranking second among the most wanted criminals in the Seven Kingdoms! "

Littlefinger in the shadows had a half-smile expression on his face.
