Chapter 144 The Secret No One Knows
In the hall of the Lord's Castle, White sat in the seat prepared by Viscount Monster, while the rest stood on both sides, waiting for the knight to bring the sinners over.
After a while, six nobles, including Earl David, were taken up and knelt in front of White.
White leaned his right hand on the seat handle, then held his chin, crossed his legs, and slightly raised his eyelids to scan the sinner below.
Their hands and feet were shackled in heavy shackles, their clothes were not tidy, and their hair was messed up because they had not been combed for a long time, with fear in their eyes.
It must be quite uncomfortable to stay in the dungeon, White thought to himself.
Then, he set his eyes on Count David at the front.
"Tsk! Earl David, you probably didn't expect you to end up like this."
Earl David, who was fat, looked panicked and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, even with red marks on his forehead.
"Your Majesty! We really know that we are wrong. Please be generous and let us go."
"We will definitely be loyal to your Majesty."
The other five nobles also hurriedly kowtowed and admitted their mistakes to express their loyalty.
"Why should I let you go? The nobles in the northern border who supported my brother Wang have received the punishment they deserve, so you naturally can't escape."
"Your Majesty! It's all Duke Eddie's fault!"
Earl David was timid and afraid of death, so he tried his best to shirk responsibility.
"It was him who instigated me to send troops to support the prince. I was just a little obsessed with it. Now, I have suddenly realized that I am willing to change my past mistakes. I also ask Your Majesty to let you go."
Duke Eddie is the lord of Dongsheng Fortress.
White also has an impression of this man and has seen him several times.
"Ghostly obsessed? Humph!"
White snorted coldly and said slowly: "When you sent out the army, did you have already made a plan, thinking that even if I beat Brother Wang, I would have to spend a lot of time to clean up the North. In order to stabilize the situation, I would accept your allegiance? But I didn't expect that I could handle the North so quickly and then deal with you."
"I...this..."
Earl David was stunned for a moment, then denied it, and refused to admit it.
"I definitely don't have this idea!"
"No matter whether you have it or not, you cannot refuse the fact that you sent an army to attack Jin Acropolis. Then accept my trial."
Standing up from the seat, White waved his hand and gave a verdict to everyone.
"All of these six people were sentenced to beheading and will be executed at noon tomorrow. Take me down."
"yes!"
The six knights then set off to bring the six sinners back to the dungeon.
"No! I don't want to die! Your Majesty! Please spare me, I'm still useful!"
Earl David once wanted to beg for mercy from the thigh that rushed up to hug White, but was firmly controlled by the knight and could only make useless struggles, but was forced to be dragged away.
"Your Majesty! Don't kill me!"
"Ah-No! I can't die yet! Damn!"
"Mom, I want to pee."
When he learned that he had been sentenced to death, the other five nobles also broke down.
Some were still begging for mercy, some tried to break free from the shackles and wanted to escape, while others were frightened on the spot.
After the trial, Viscount Monster walked out and saluted White's chest.
"Your Majesty, we will prepare a welcome party for you tonight, and there are more than a dozen carefully selected beauties for you to relieve your fatigue. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Oh?" White showed an interesting expression, "Then I'll look forward to the banquet tonight. I hope Viscount Monster won't disappoint me."
"Your Majesty will not disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Viscount Monster could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It was because he heard that White was a good woman that Viscount Monster specially sent someone to collect beauties and used various means to let them serve the new king.
As long as White is happy, the current crisis in Linshui City will be over.
That night, White attended the welcome party.
After the meeting, he spent the night with the beauty sent by Viscount Monster in a spacious bedroom, and was so happy.
At noon the next day, Count David and others were publicly executed. The guillotine cutter fell quickly and his head fell directly to the ground.
After the execution, the sinner's head will be displayed for several days.
Instead of watching the execution, White continued to enjoy himself in the bedroom, and there were constant groans in it.
Apart from delivering food, the servants didn't dare to knock on the door and disturb them.
...
Dongsheng Fortress, Lord's Castle.
Duke Eddie was restless in the specially made seat, his short and thick fingers kept knocking on the handle, and a lot of sweat came out of his forehead.
He was very anxious, very upset, and very scared.
The battle for the throne has ended, and supporting the eldest prince is obviously a wrong choice.
I thought White would accept his allegiance, but he did not end up, and he had even sent troops to fight eastward. Has the nobles in the northern border been dealt with?
"Damn the big prince, why did you lose so quickly?"
Duke Eddie did not blame himself for his mistakes in judgment, but simply blamed the eldest prince for being ineffective.
What should I do now? Do I resist the king? Then I have to have that strength!
I heard that Count David from Linshui City was collectively reversed by the nobles below and was imprisoned, and his final outcome would definitely be very miserable.
In order to avoid the same situation, Duke Eddie has strengthened the garrison of the lord castle and hid in the castle and refused to go out.
Feeling worried, he secretly sent someone to monitor the movements of other nobles to prevent the aristocrats from suddenly collectively rebelling.
Even so, as White gets closer to Dongsheng Fortress, the more unstable the nobles will be. God knows how long the current situation will last.
No! You have to find a way to solve the current dilemma.
Duke Eddie only regretted that he was not good enough to think of a solution, so he was so anxious that he could only hold his head and be distressed.
"What should I do? His Majesty the King is coming."
Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed across Duke Eddie's head, and he remembered something that happened a long time ago.
His Majesty the King is coming? The late former king also visited the Dongsheng Fortress twenty years ago.
At that time, Duke Eddie prepared a personal maid to warm the bed for the former king.
After the former king returned, he found that the maid was actually pregnant.
That was the blood of the royal family. Duke Eddie hid the maid at the first time and asked her to give birth to the child first.
After the child was born, the maid was killed by Duke Eddie.
However, the illegitimate son of the king is a serious crime, and Duke Eddie does not want to keep this hot potato with him.
He happened to hear that Marquis Aisen, who was in the border town, was worried that he had no children and wanted to adopt an adopted son to inherit the title.
So Duke Eddie thought of a way to send the child over and was successfully adopted by Marquis Eisen.
Yes, that's right, this kid is Irving Eisen.
I wanted to use this to set up a trap for Marquis Eisen and find another opportunity to reveal it.
Now, it is the best time to uncover this unknown secret, Duke Eddie is ready to expose the matter to White in exchange for trust.
