Chapter 539: When the trial is in progress

Now that it has stabilized, it's time to do what it hasn't done. If nothing else, it was the punishment decision for the previous king, and for the Lannisters.

As mentioned before, Li Lingyi decided to let people come to trial, so that the negative public opinion would be minimized, and they would not be charged with anything like "monarchicide".

As for the place of the trial, it was in the Baelor Chapel, which used to be the place where Ed was beheaded, and now time seems to have come full circle and returned.

The noisy crowd, the knife-wielding executioners, the bound prisoners, everything was like the trial a few months ago. It's just that the two sides of this trial have changed, and it is the Lannisters who are kneeling on the ground, and the Stark family is standing behind.

The people of King's Landing flocked to fill the square in front of the Great Cathedral. One and two had a glint of excitement on their faces, accompanied by amazement, and seemed to be so shocked by the twists and turns of fate that they couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

Today is the day for the sinners of this kingdom to be punished. โ€

As soon as Li Ling spoke, the crowd boiled, and the time of more than a week was enough for him to establish his prestige among the people. And this prestige was enhanced by nothing else, but by a steady stream of relief food and greatly improved law and order in the city.

People are talking all the time in the streets and alleys about how good Ivy Crane is, and it would have been better if he had entered King's Landing earlier, and he would have avoided the death of many good people.

But the people are also anxious, it has been almost ten days since the coalition army entered the city, but the old king has fallen from the throne, and the new king has not yet appeared, which is really a bit strange. But reading between the lines of the conversation, everyone hopes that Ivy Crane will be the new king. If there is to be a poll in this era, then he will definitely have so many votes that it will frighten people to death.

People are very simple and practical, whoever can make them eat, they are willing to let whoever is king, and now that Ivy Crane has this ability, he is naturally willing to choose him. What's more, the latter is still young, maybe too young in the eyes of some older people, but young people can describe him as "fanatical".

"They have committed a great deal of crimes......"

The crimes of the Lannisters were announced one by one, not to mention anything else, and the mere fact that Joffrey's identity was born to Jaime and Cersei was enough to kill both of them.

You must know that the first thing is brother and sister **, of course, this is nothing new, the Targaryen family has been doing this for many years, and the bloodline of the real dragon must be "pure" and cannot be mixed with other impurities.

But that's just the Targaryens, but the others are different, and most people still feel that it's a great shame to be a brother and sister. In some extreme places, if such a thing is discovered, and no one else even needs to interfere, the parents of the brother and sister will put both of them to death, and then commit suicide themselves, because it is too humiliating.

However, this is not a "crime", because it does not infringe on the interests of others, and at most it is "immoral". Of course, morality is different from era to era.

In the early days of the United States, it was considered "immoral" for a white person to take the initiative to talk to a black man, but now, who dares to say such things?

But it's okay, you don't want to have children. Forget about having a child, you still let this child pretend to be a member of the Baratheon family, the son of the old king Robert, and become the king of the continent with this pretended identity, that is a great sin.

Because this is simply the biggest deception, of course, this matter has been rumored as early as the previous execution of Ed, but because of the strong pressure of the Iron Throne, the people do not dare to discuss it openly.

It can be said that if Joffrey is a good king and governs the country well, then his fake identity is acceptable to the common people. But you are a pretend, and you are so violent and cruel, not much better than the mad king of the year, so can the civilians keep you?

Because of this, when Joffrey's crime was read out, a strong cry erupted in the square.

"Kill him!"

"Cut off the impostor's head!"

"He doesn't deserve life!"

Even those who thought that sin did not lead to death were drowned out by the voices of the crowd.

Li Ling nodded slightly when he saw this, Joffrey's death was inevitable in his opinion, and only with the blood of this crazy king could he wash away the brand of the king in the hearts of the common people, and it could also make a good paving for the alliance political system he was going to implement next.

Besides, Joffrey himself deserves to die, he has killed many innocent people since he became king, many of them have not committed any crime, but he will kill them if he makes him unhappy.

It would be a great sin to forgive him in this case.

"So, I declare. Li Lingyi said: "Joffrey Lannister, sentenced to death, executed immediately." โ€

"No !!"

Cersei, who was kneeling on the ground, screamed heartbreakingly, and she slammed her head against Li Ling, begging for mercy with tears in her eyes: "Please! Please, don't kill Joffrey! He's still a child, let him go to guard the Great Wall, be a night watchman! I can do anything for you!"

To guard the Great Wall, this is indeed an option for criminals. It's just that Li Lingyi doesn't plan to give this option now.

"Shut up, you crazy woman!"

Li Lingyi didn't speak, and the little wolf girl Arya beside him said viciously: "When you killed my father, why didn't you think that this day would come!"

When news of the fall of King's Landing reached Lindong, Arya set off to see her father's killer die. Her sister Sansa, on the other hand, was a little shadowy of King's Landing and was reluctant to come near the city, so her mother Catherine stayed in Winterwinter to take care of her, so she didn't come.

At this time, Cersei heard Arya's words, and suddenly raised her head and looked at her viciously, "You little bitch, you should have grabbed you and thrown you to the lowest brothel, so that you could be tortured to death!"

"Really?" Arya grew up to be immune to this kind of verbal attack, and she sneered twice, "Then you can pray every day in hell." โ€

"Let's execute. Li Ling ordered.

At this time, Joffrey had been hungry for several days, and he had no strength to struggle, and was pushed to the knife stand with his eyes half-closed.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at Robb, who strode up to the executioner and took the knife from his hand, "I will personally avenge my father!"

After speaking, he raised his long knife violently, "Go and make amends to my father!"

Poofโ€”โ€”!
