Chapter 442
"Hehe, is it useful to hide? When I saw Dragon Queen at first glance, I suddenly understood one thing. Confession is the only way out.
I'm not afraid of death, neither of us should be afraid of death.
Since becoming Sons of the Harpy, they should have the same consciousness as me to be buried for the Ghis." Old Saintess smiled lightly.
"In the grand court, Queen must also abide by the "legal code"! If one can live, one is one." Su Lao said mutely.
Old Saintess smiled wryly and said, "That's the problem, we broke the law on "legal code" first.
Assassination of Jon Bolton resulted in the full exposure of Sons of the Harpy , as long as Queen has the will to stick to the "legal code", none of us have to run.
In her eyes, I see a will stronger than steel. So, I simply surrendered.
At least, the innocent among the 80,000 arrested people can escape from prison. In other words, as you said, one survives for one."
The two elders also Nothing to say.
They didn't join the Sons of the Harpy, and never thought to rebel against the Dragon Queen.
To put it badly, they even felt disgusted and feared Sons of the Harpy in their hearts.
If it weren't for the Ghis, they would also shout "Impartial and incorruptible Cleon".
Because Sons of the Harpy's assassination targets are three types of people: the outstanding representatives of the new Free Folk, the officers and generals of the Dragon Queen, and the Ghis traitor.
Because of the arrival of the Dragon Queen, these talented but bloodless civilians have the opportunity to become the representatives of Ghis and become famous.
They, like Cleon, are the beneficiaries of the new kingdom.
They are Ghis "traitors", Ghis traitor in the eyes of noble blood people who have lost power and wealth.
"The King of Westeros is also known as 'King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men', and the Seven Kingdoms are a mixed nation.
The Ghis of Slaver's Bay are also Not a pure Ghiscari.
I firmly believe that Queen Your Majesty will bring a great future to Slaver's Bay.
I firmly believe that Queen Your Majesty will lead the Ghis and people of Slaver's Bay New Free Folk, to light and glory together!"
Astapor's Green Graces to old Saintess before leaving.
"I sincerely wish she can do everything you say." Old Saintess said.
...
Green Graces Galazza's sudden guilty plea steals 'impartial and incorruptible Cleon' limelight and disrupts 'Meereen's Sir Bao' trial .
Because the "Sons of the Harpy" case was settled almost immediately following her guilty plea.
Even the five Ghis jurors unanimously passed the resolution that "Sons of the Harpy" committed the grand crime of treason.
In other words, Cleon didn't frame Zhongliang.
He just sent a heavy sentence and made no fundamental mistakes.
In this way, the entire trial process has been simplified too much.
Originally Dany thought it would be a toss up for a month or two, but in the end, Cleon threatened the jurors with public opinion, and got a verdict of "the death penalty is not escaped".
——Maybe the title of Meereen City Lord will be removed, and the title will be reduced from Earl to Ser.
Now Green Graces has pleaded guilty, and the remaining 20,000 Ghis died | Of course, a large number of prisoners were wrongly convicted - more than 90%, but the true Sons of the Harpy who committed the crime of treason There are also quite a few.
During the final closed-door case, the jury unanimously passed the Dragon Queen's verdict: "Earl Chainbreaker cracked the 'Sons of the Harpy' case, outstanding merits, promoted to Chainbreaker Marquess, awarded 100,000
But Cleon Chainbreaker was too cruel in the process of hearing the case, disregarding many laws in the "legal code", and was beaten into a trick... downgraded, with a fine of 80,000 yuan and a caning of 48 , changed Meereen City Lord to Great General of the Western Expedition."
Uh, Cleon was promoted and demoted one by one, the title remained unchanged, the position changed from City Lord to General, earned 20,000 Gold Honor, suffered "Devil's Tail" Hattur 48 whip.
There are also 60,000 labor prisoners and 20,000 death row prisoners arrested by Cleon.
About 73,000 people are innocent, perhaps resentful of the Dragon Queen's rule, but not at all involved in "Sons of the Harpy".
After all, this reactionary organization has only just been established, and has not had time to recruit members on a large scale.
But Dany didn't directly acquit the men.
Because she discovered one thing, Cleon is brutal, but never mindless to frame Zhongliang.
Those wronged are all related to the Sons of the Harpy.
After Dany asked about Cleon's trial, she muggle.
There was no on-site investigation, no intricate reasoning, no suspicious or perfect evidence. He only opened the household registration booklet and first arrested the relatives of the first group of arrested persons, and then their relatives. The relatives of their relatives will be arrested, and finally the relatives of their relatives' relatives will be arrested...
There is a theory of "six degrees of separation": you can meet any stranger through a maximum of five people. people.
A relative is different from someone you know.
But if Cleon just arrests people with their household registration, round after round, dozens or dozens of rounds in a row, maybe Dragon Queen can also be arrested in prison.
Actually, he only caught three rounds and couldn't catch it.
Because of one more draw, Meereen has no Ghis.
Cleon's approach is rude, but it makes sense to give a reason.
Sons of the Harpy is a major conspiracy to overthrow the Dragon Queen's rule.
Sons of the Harpy and Dragon Queen are complete opposites.
The people of Slaver's Bay can only take sides, either Dragon Queen or Sons of the Harpy.
There is no doubt that their relatives would not be on the Dragon Queen's side by any means when faced with such an alternative decision.
Of course, justified does not mean legal.
Like a criminal tendency, it does not equal a crime.
Dany impossible to condemn them.
But letting them go in vain is a waste of Meereen's Sir Bao's hard work.
Well, Dragon Queen admits, she's not reconciled to herself.
In addition to innocents, there are only 200 or 300 people directly involved in the Sons of the Harpy case.
The other six thousand are their family members, and people who cannot prove their innocence—knowing the existence of Sons of the Harpy and willing to help them, but I did not join.
Then Dany had a bad idea.
"According to the "legal code" law, the crime of treason is unforgivable, I am beheaded, the immediate family or the death sentence, or life imprisonment, but..."
Dragon Queen pointed to the plaque on the throne, not "The mirror hangs high", but "Justice is above, mercy is below".
"I would like to grant them mercy." Dragon Queen said sympathetically, "the 80,000 people arrested are all friends and relatives, so it's better to be guilty.
No more death |Sentence, no longer and life imprisonment, everyone will enter the labor camp.
Innocent relatives and friends can work during the day, go home at night, and can leave the labor camp in just two years.
The guilty Sons of the Harpy can't go home, but as long as they serve five years, they can regain their freedom and be a new person."
Unfortunately, the Queen's kindness was not appreciated by the sinners.
"I'm not afraid of death, kill me, I don't want to drag my relatives." cried Sons of the Harpy.
"I'm not guilty, three thousand miles away. Graz and I are cousins separated by two generations. I don't want to be a labor prisoner for him!" The innocent "relatives" shouted.
"The scoundrel thing, the Queen's kindness, can't be refused!"
Dragon Queen roared and made a decision decisively.
Completing the case, the Dragon Queen finds Cleon, who is still in bed.
Well, he was slapped on the bed with 48 whips.
Cleon face deathly pale, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he wanted to express his protest against Dragon Queen's injustice with silence.
After a few months of work in vain, I got 48 whips from "Devil's Tail" and lost the super fat man of Meereen City Lord.
Meereen's Sir Bao is so sad!
"Ai, do you understand the meaning of the Great General of the Western Expedition? There was once a great 'King Cao' who would rather give up the throne than become the 'Great General of the Western Expedition'."Dragon The Queen sighed.
Cleon was attracted by "King Cao" and couldn't help but ask, "What's the point of the Great General of the Western Expedition?"
"The expedition to the West, as the name suggests, expeditions The West. The Allies are divided by land and sea, the navy meets at New Ghis, and the army meets at Mantarys.
They are fierce, but they can't be repeated. One wave can't take Slaver's Bay, and the next one is mine They went.
Where did they go?
Of course they also followed the Allied invasion route, from Meereen set off, all the way west, Tolos, Mantarys.... ...
Eventually, we'll cross the Lands of Long Summer, into the Great Western Plains, into Volantis."
Dragon Queen looked at Earl Chainbreaker meaningfully, "So, Do you understand?"
"I'm going to be the City Lord of Volantis?" Cleon said joyfully.
Dany gave him an encouraging look and said, "No, you will be the Great Western Seneschal, the City Lord of Volantis, the City Lord of Qohor, the City Lord of Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys and other city-states , all under the jurisdiction of the Great General of the Western Expedition."
"Maiden of Light is above!" Cleon's morbid white face instantly flushed with blood, and he said excitedly and suddenly: "No wonder 'Cao King' I'd rather not be King than be the Great General of the Western Expedition."
He then doubted: "Your Majesty, why not oneself be the Great General of the Western Expedition? Such a large land , really leave it to me?"
"You think I'll let New Ghis, Qarth?" Dany asked.
"Of course I can't let it go." Cleon said bitterly.
"So, not only the Great General of the Western Expedition, but also the Great General of the Eastern Expedition, the Great General of the Northern Expedition, the Great General of the Southern Expedition. And I, sitting firmly in Slaver's Bay, Commander you Great Generals."
"so that's how it is." Cleon suddenly realized.
as the saying goes well, the cunning rabbit died.
If the hunting grounds are large enough and the prey plentiful, the lackeys can die of old age before being cooked.
Cleon is far luckier than Maester Lai.
Queen's vision is far-reaching, and there are vast hunting grounds waiting for her to conquer.
Dragon Queen conquers the hunting ground, and Maester Lai helps her tame her prey and cooperate with her.
And in this magical world, the Queen with dragon, transcendent magic power and super long lifespan will never worry about holding him down.
As long as his brain isn't broken, he won't have second thoughts.
In this way, the friendship between the ruler and the minister will continue, and Cleon will have a happy ending 99% of the time.
Cleon and Harpy became aware of the case, and the answer between Dragon Queen and Green Graces in court also spread, known by Free Folk and known by Ghis.
Oddly enough, Slaver's Bay has settled down.
Well, it was very stable before, but after this time, the originally impetuous people's hearts have completely settled down.
The fact that Slaver's Bay is the Kingdom of the Dragon Queen is starting to be accepted from the heart by everyone - both the new Free Folk and the Ghis.
Ghis people no longer think about "rebel against the Qing and restore the Ming", and the new Free Folk no longer thinks about "liquidating evil remnants".
