Chapter Seventy-Four: Punishment
The townspeople rejoiced, but many of the nobles were terrified and swore that they would never offend Count Lear, a man terrible.
They weren't worried that Lear would hit the nobility, thinking that he was just buying people's hearts, and when his rule was consolidated, they would naturally continue to defend the nobility - Lear himself was an aristocrat, and he wouldn't be so stupid.
After almost all fiefdom nobles with unstable status were knighted, their actions were similar, first to deter a group of people, then to win over a group of people, and finally to still govern the territory with the non-fiefdom nobles.
Even, those powerless fiefdom nobles who have no power want Lear to kill a group of powerful fiefdom nobles, only in this way can they ascend to the throne.
Lear turned to look at the woman in Port Lear and said, "You're right. But I said you four were accomplices, didn't you?"
The four men were silent.
"For whatever reason, you didn't even think to expose them, and you watched your people being humiliated and killed, did you?"
The four were speechless.
Lear sighed lightly and said, "I would love to let you go, after all, you didn't make mistakes on your own initiative. But I can't let you go. For, I want all the citizens of Port Lear to know that we can make mistakes, but the people of Port Lear cannot stand idly by while the people of Port Lear suffer! Come on, tattoo 'traitors' in the faces of the four of them, and make everyone remember these four people! Your crimes are not as good as those sinners, but you have brought shame on the people of Port Lear! Shame on the people of Port Lear! It is a shame on the people of Port Lear!"
All the citizens were silent, but many of them clenched their fists and said to themselves, "Never betray Port Lear, never betray Lord Lord Lear!"
Lear doesn't mean to wake them up, just to increase the cost of those actions that harm the people of Port Lear.
Lear looked at the last seven men and said, "I'm telling you good news and bad news. The good news is that I don't want to punish you, and the bad news is that in order to prevent you from turning against me, you must punish the brutal executioner Jefferson with your own hands. If you don't agree, it will be tantamount to declaring war on me, and there is only one way out. β
"Don't tell me Jefferson will take revenge on you and your family, that's none of my business. When your ** sits in Jefferson's chair, you know that there will be a day. Go, my lord, who tortures you, and I will spare you, and my lord, who does not torture you, judge before you die, whether your lord will be angry with your family, or will reward your family. β
"If you want to blame, blame your ** for sitting in the wrong chair. β
"Magician, wake Jefferson awake and keep him awake, but not let him speak, let him see his men tormenting him. β
The remaining seven men looked at each other, and finally walked up to Jefferson silentlyβthey knew that even if they swore to die, their families would still be killed by Jefferson, because Jefferson was crazy.
So in front of Jefferson's distorted face, seven men cut off Jefferson's ears, cut off his nose, tore his lips, and chopped off his legs and arms. At the same time, the two priests were casting spells on the side to prevent Jefferson's death.
Finally, to confirm the rumor, Moore himself stripped Jefferson naked, then pointed to what little Jefferson had left, and said, "Lord Lear, I won, and his thing was indeed cut off by the Reds." β
Lear pulled out a gold carat and bounced it over.
Moore took the coin, took the dagger, and shouted, "Dead Lear Harbor people, I, Moore have avenged you!" and as he said that, Moore cut off half of the object and two eggs.
Lear finally turned his face sideways, not looking at the bloody scene, and gently patted Ness's back.
"Don't blame me, blame me, blame you for being a good teacher who teaches cruelty. β
Finally, Lear said to the seven men, "I don't care if you run or go home to pick up your family." I'll send a magical message to the town hall in Jace City tomorrow morning and ask them to pick them up. Go, you're free. β
"Come, put Viscount Jefferson in a dung bucket and hang it at the city gate, and don't let him die. I'm going to let him live to the city of Jeth. β
Lear said to Ness, "Ness, look up and look at the person in front of you who has scolded you." β
Fearless, Ness left Lear's embrace, and slowly opened her eyes, seeing that the former high-flying and invincible Baron Jefferson had turned into a ** wrapped in gauze.
Ness only glanced at it, then closed her eyes, not daring to look again, she wasn't as cruel as Lear.
Lear stroked her black hair and said, "Remember when I was at the auction house, you asked me to teach you to curse?"
"Remember......" Ness looked uneasily at Brother Lear, who seemed to be a little different from her usual life.
"I'm telling you right now, if someone scolds you, the best way is not to scold him, but to shut him up. Got it?"
"Hmm!" Ness nodded, as if she didn't understand.
Lear looked at her innocent face and innocent eyes, shook his head and smiled, "That's fine, since you don't want to learn cruelty, then I'll keep cruelty out of the door." β
"Thank you, Brother Lear!" Ness hugged his arm and shook it, she didn't understand, but she knew Brother Lear would protect her.
So Jefferson, the Red Hunter, the Mad Viscount, and the Executioner, was hung in a dung bucket at the north gate of Port Lear in the most humiliating way.
The next day, Port Lear City Hall sent an official magical message to the City Hall, telling them to send a thousand men to bring their lord back, or else hang their lord at the head of the city.
On the morning of the third day, five hundred privates and five hundred garrisons from the city of Jeth hurried to take away the unconscious Viscount Jefferson.
At noon on the third day, 500 private soldiers and 500 garrisons who had taken Jefferson were attacked by a large number of masked bandits, and the whole army was annihilated.
At noon on the fifth day, the bandits pretended to be private soldiers and garrisons who had returned from leading the team, killed all the private soldiers, knights and magicians of the Jefferson family in Jess City, imprisoned the garrison, and then ransacked the property of the Jefferson family.
On the sixth day, the Jefferson family announced the death of Viscount Jefferson, and then Viscount Jefferson's cousin inherited the title and managed the leaky city of Jefferson.
On the seventh day, the Viscount of New Jess City traveled to Port Lear overnight to meet with the Earl of Lear, sign an offensive and defensive alliance, borrow five million gold carats, and sign a series of unequal treaties.
The people of Port Lear could not see the plight of the Jeffersons, they only knew that the great Earl of Lear punished the sinner who harmed the citizens of Port Lear, even if that sinner was a fiefdom viscount.
The day after the "executioner's execution ground" incident in Port Lear, which was popularized by the citizens of Port Lear, the construction of a nursing home and an orphanage was carried out at the same time, while the town hall and the Earl's Court were planning the slum and officially renovated it a month later.
