The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Kleon knelt on the ground and picked up the bloodied bachelor with a sad expression on his face.

Two of his soldiers tried to comfort him.

There were many people watching, and the bachelor's servant knelt on the ground and wept.

"Our **** must not see our voice." Kleon looked up sadly, "I was just chatting with the bachelor, the balcony is so wide, we just leaned on the balcony to drink tea and talk, and it happened. Such a tragedy."

No one doubted Kleon. Everyone trusted him. It was he who led everyone to conquer the pyramids of those heinous great benefactors. He led everyone to avenge many great evil men, even though those people proclaimed themselves great benefactors.

Kleon’s credibility and character are what everyone believes in.

Finally, Kleon picked up the body of the bachelor, and a carriage came. Kleon and the soldiers boarded the carriage with the body of the bachelor. The carriage came to the step pyramid. The bachelor was the consul appointed by Her Majesty, and he had the right Receive condolences from the people in the Great Pyramid and get a decent funeral.

The next day, Kleon came to the priest's house.

The priest was wearing a robe and his lips were blue. He was writing something in the study. Kleon opened the door and entered, still carrying two soldiers this time.

"Master Kleon, what's the matter?"

"Yes," Kleon said, "Pastor, can I sit down?"

"please!"

"At present, one of the three consuls is missing. Look, can I fill the vacancy of the bachelor's degree."

"Think about it!" the priest said.

"Thank you Pastor." Kleon pressed his hands on his heart, "Master Pastor, I have no selfishness, I just want to do something for the people of Astapo."

"I don’t have any problems. Your lord’s prestige in Astapo is extremely high, and being able to participate in the administration of the consul can also reduce the burden for us. For many difficult issues, we can also contribute by one more person. This is a good thing. ."

"I just want to do more for the people."

"But I can't make a decision alone, Lord Kleon, you still need to go to the doctor's place. If he agrees, I think you can come to the Great Pyramid tomorrow. There are a lot of recent things and we are lacking. Manpower to deal with those tricky things."

"Is it about the free men beating and killing the good masters of the past?"

"Yes, this situation is getting worse recently. Maybe we need to apply for the help of the Unsullied Army."

"If necessary, of course." Kleon said.

Kleon lightly kissed the back of the priest's hand as he left. When he left, the priest took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He saw Kleon's killing intent and instantly understood the cause of Bachelor's death. The doctor inspected the Bachelor’s injury in the pyramid tonight. He was able to infer the cause of Bachelor’s death from the Bachelor’s injury. Both the pastor and the doctor suspected that the Bachelor was pushed off the balcony to death by Kleon.

In the recent violent incidents in which freedmen attacked the former benefactors, the accused violators have a relationship with Kleon in one way or another. Whenever these people are tried, some of Kleon’s soldiers are also mixed in those The voice of the protesting crowd made the pastor, doctors and bachelor all feel Kleon's malice.

As a result, Bachelor fell off his balcony and died yesterday, but Kleon and Bachelor chatted on the balcony.

The priest changed into a priest's robe and closed the door and windows of the pyramid. He returned to his bedroom, opened the secret door, entered the basement, got into a tunnel, and disappeared.

Soon, the priest appeared in an alley two streets away. He had walked out of an abandoned hut. The priest pulled up his hood and walked towards Pride Square.

Pride Square is the garrison of the Unsullied Army. Calleon is no longer able to control. He holds the city garrison in his hand. This is the only armed force in the region. Although the priest and doctor are consuls, they are not protected by a guard.

The priest needs the protection of the Unsullied. He is the consul appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. The Unsullied is the Queen’s army and the ultimate power to maintain the city.

The priest turned the corner, and in the darkness, in the shadow of a golden pagoda, a voice that made the priest chilling came: "Pastor, where are you going?"

It was Kleon's voice.

The priest stammered and said, "Master Kleon, I'm going to the Unsullied Legion, and Chief Grey Worm wants me to go."

"Oh? What does he want you to do?"

"There are soldiers who need to pray for guidance."

"Oh, that's the case, please!" Kleon gave way.

The pastor walked by Kleon's side: "My lord Kleon, you patrol the city every day to protect our safety. It's hard work." Kleon didn't answer the pastor's words. He drew out the knife and stabbed the pastor with a single knife. Waist. The priest reached out and grabbed Kleon's shoulder: "Kleon, you will be burned to ashes by Her Majesty's Dragon Flame, you will not be at peace after death, your soul will be swallowed by the devil, and finally vanished in smoke."

"Your soul has been swallowed up, Lord priest, otherwise why would you help Lord Good Lord to punish us."

"...There is no good master in the city...Everyone is now a free man..."

"Really? We don't think so!" Kleon drew the knife, and the second knife hit the priest's neck and pierced it against the priest's neck. When he let go, the sharp knife was stuck in the priest's neck.

The priest staggered, his face was horrified, and fell down!

*

The next day, the priest's body was also placed in the Great Pyramid. He and the bachelor will get a very decent funeral. Kleon ordered the murderer to be arrested throughout the city. Thus, there is still one among the three consuls of Astapo: the doctor! On the same day, Kleon took the position of consul in the petition of hundreds of people.

An angry man came in to petition. Kleon was sitting on a high chair, with his soldiers on either side. The doctor was sitting next to him, in a white medical gown, with a grim complexion.

"Freeman, what's your name?" Kleon began his first government affairs.

"My lord, my name is Amos Eber."

"Amos Eber, you used to be a good master."

"My lord, I am a freedman now, and I appoint Daenerys, the mother of dragons, as Her Majesty the Queen."

"I didn't ask you now, I am asking you about the past, please answer truthfully." Kleon increased his tone.

"My lord, I used to be a small good master. I was in business. Everything is a legal business. I got rich by my own hard work. I have never bought or sold a slave or abused a slave."

"If you haven't bought or sold a slave, have you never used a slave in your family?"

"Used slaves, my lord. I am a slave hired by other good masters."

"Well, if you have used slaves, you have bought and sold slaves. Amos Eber, you are a liar!"

"My lord, I haven't violated any laws of Astapo in the past, and now I am a citizen of the Queen, and I have not violated any laws set by the Queen."

"You are committing a crime when you buy and sell slaves. Your hands are covered with slave blood, so you have to kneel."

The doctor said: "Consultant of Kleon, no freedman does not have to kneel to the chief. This is a law issued by Her Majesty the Queen."

"You are right, doctor. But Amos Eber is not a legitimate subject of Her Majesty the Queen. Amos Eber, I will give you a chance. Do you kneel yourself or I ask you to kneel."

"I will never kneel. Her Majesty's law does not include this. When meeting Her Majesty, I never kneeled. Her Majesty did not want us to kneel."

"But not in front of me. You can deceive our Queen, but you can't deceive me. Come, let Amos Eber kneel."

With two bangs, two scabbards chopped on Amos Eber's knees. Amos Eber knelt, but he quickly stood up again.

"Call me!" Kleon issued an order.

Several soldiers rushed up and knocked Amos Eber to the ground, punching and kicking, until Amos Eber fainted. Wow, a bucket of ice water splashed on Amos Eber’s face, Amos Eber woke up, and he spit out a mouthful of blood: "Kleon, you will have to die. Your Majesty will break you. Ten thousand corpses."

Kleon chuckled, "Amos Eber, what's the matter if you come to petition today?"

"My Haiyan shop, clothing shop, and rice shop were robbed by a group of free men. I'm here to report the crime." Amos Heber said weakly.

"Oh, who robbed you? Where is the person you accused?"

"My lord, I won't tell you anymore," Amos Eber said. He crawled outside the gate, and the ground was covered with red blood and water stains.

"Just want to leave? Amos Eber, do you have any sons and daughters in your family?"

Amos Eber stopped, and his body began to tremble: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"It doesn't mean anything, Astapo will restore the arena, your son will be trained as a gladiator by us, and your daughter will be trained as a gangster by us."

The doctor was shocked: "My lord Kleon, never do it."

Kleon squinted at the doctor: "Consultant, what can't you do? The arena and the ** market will bring prosperity to our city, and the viewers of the arena will be all of us free people, and I will not allow anyone Turning freedmen into gladiators or gangsters. Gladiator is a profession that good masters and those wealthy businessmen are qualified to engage in. They used to turn us into slaves, into gladiators and gangsters. Now, the It's their turn."

The soldiers and the freemen below cheered.

"Listen to the voices of the people." Kleon smiled, "Doctor, public opinion is divine will, and public opinion is also the meaning of Her Majesty the Queen. If the hundreds of thousands of free citizens in the city agree to restore the arena and the ** market, Her Majesty the Queen will agree."

"Agree! We agree!" the soldiers and petitioning freedmen shouted.

As long as good masters, rich people, big businessmen and their families come to be gladiators and gangsters, they are all deeply supported.

The doctor stood up with an ugly face, and said: "You have violated Her Majesty’s will. Her Majesty has given you freedom and rescued you from all suffering. This is how you repay the kindness of Her Majesty. Who of you called back? The people of Mass, stand up and touch your conscience and say, "You don't abide by Her Majesty's Law. Is this right or wrong?"

"We have obeyed Her Majesty's law. We have only tried criminals in the past. People have to pay a price if they commit a crime. It's as simple as that. To fight for a tooth is the true nature of our Astabo people."

So the soldiers glared at the doctor, and the people began to abuse the doctor.

The doctor left angrily and walked down the steps. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the pyramid, he was punched in the face by a mob. The doctor fell to the ground with blood on his face.

"Doctor? Are you a doctor or a good master? I remember clearly that you are also a good master. You can deceive Her Majesty, but you can't deceive us. You used to be a good master, thinking you can enslaved us again by changing your status?" Yelling and kicking the doctor's head, the doctor's hands and feet violently convulsed and he was speechless.

"Pretend? Brothers and sisters, kill this good lord, we can no longer let the good lord rule us."

As a result, the people drew out sharp knives and rushed forward. They chopped the doctors into several pieces, cut off their hands and feet, chopped their bodies into pieces of meat, and inserted the tips of their knives or guns one by one.

Kleon was satisfied that everyone was angry with the doctors. He said, "Come here, arrest Amos Eber and put them in an underground prison." The two soldiers walked out of the queue, held Amos Eber, and detained them. Entered the black prison under the pyramid.

"Come here, go to Amos Eber's house, arrest all his sons, train them as gladiators, arrest his daughters and wives, and train them as gangsters."

A group of soldiers was overjoyed, and flew away.

Since then, Astapo has fallen into Kleon’s hands. In just ten days, Astapo has restored the arena and the ** market. An atmosphere of terror has been set off in and around the city. The hunt for wealthy people, businessmen, good masters, hostile freedmen, men as slaves or gladiators, and women are all forced to become gangsters.

Kleon wrote to Daenerys and sent someone to send a special letter to Yuankai, explaining to Her Majesty the changes he initiated, and asked Her Majesty to come and guide her. The letter said that if Her Majesty does not like the arena and the ** market, Kleon can change the term and call it the servant market and the warrior duel. He promised not to violate Her Majesty’s orders.

The letter was very long and it was packed in two large wooden boxes. Kleon was a smart man. He collected the signatures of tens of thousands of free people. Most of these people could not write at all, but they signed all of them because they wrote all Just copy the same word: mother.

*

Daenerys fell silent after receiving the signed letters from these two wooden boxes. She didn't know what to do.

Kleon assured her in the letter: All freemen in the city support the restoration of the arena and the ** market. If Her Majesty the Queen must close it, they will also be closed. Daenerys held a meeting about the changes in Astapo in Yunkai’s Shwedagon Pagoda. Varys, Jora Mormon, Green Saint, Argo, La Carlo, and others have their own opinions , Dozens of people had a meeting and discussed for a long time, but there was no unified conclusion.

Daenerys made a decision. She handed Yuankai to Varys and Jorah, and Milin to the Green Saint and Grazdan. She told the courtiers that she was going out for a while and would come back soon. , No one should look for her while she disappears.
