Chapter 296: Punishment (I)

PS: Ask for votes, ask for recommendations

"With fire?" When Emma heard a word, she was a little unresponsive for a moment, her little mouth opened in an O-shape, revealing her light white teeth, and she stared directly at the young king with a blank look, like a cute rabbit, extremely cute.

It can be seen that in her heart, this is an extremely shocking thing.

With fire, that is, the living person is tied to a cross, surrounded by firewood, and finally lit.

If nothing else, the person in the middle of the firewood will feel like being grilled alive by the flame, leaving some ashes behind!

In the West, burning at the stake is the church's favorite method, after all, flame has always been the best means of purity and filth in people's hearts, simple, convenient, and extremely deterrent.

For example, Emma at this time, as soon as she heard about the burning at the stake, she immediately presented such a picture in her mind:

In the open square in front of the church, a man was rigidly tied to a cross, surrounded by scorching red flames, and his whole body, including his clothes and skin, was eaten away by the flames of poisonous snakes, and the wails were heard throughout the crowd of onlookers.

"Emma! What happened to you? Edward looked at the stunned big-breasted girl, touched her little Joan's nose with his little thumb, leaned over his face, and his smooth and tender skin was tempting to knead it.

Seeing this, Edward did not hesitate to stretch out his right hand and twist the girl's smooth face very unceremoniously.

At this point, Edward's first feeling was nothing more than smoothness, then softness, softness, softness!

In short, it's just a 'cool' sub.

The stunned girl was woken up by this sudden attack, and her little eyes looked straight at the young king in front of her, and the emotions of shyness and grievance suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, which made Edward can't help but curl her lips, he is indeed a likable fellow.

"Nothing, nothing!" Emma shook her head hurriedly, but she didn't dare to use a lot of force, only struggled slightly, wanting to refuse and welcome.

But Edward knew that this was just the girl's fear of annoying him, and the girl's shyness at this time was probably still the majority.

He twisted up and down slightly, and only after the girl's face was flushed did he let go, and looked at the girl's lovely appearance with interest.

After the king let go, Emma quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her little head looked left and right, and she was embarrassed.

Seeing that there was no one else in her eyes, Emma said in a coquettish voice this time: "Your Majesty, how can you be like this, like to attack people suddenly!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Edward chuckled under his breath, leaned close to her ear, blew hot air, and whispered, "Who called Emma so pretty?" ”

After speaking, the girl smiled for a while, and the whole person was a lot brighter and radiant.

And so, at the sound of the king's laughter, a terrible punishment was pulled away, as if it had dissipated.

However, His Majesty's command reached Norwich, England's second largest city, word for word.

The clouds of war have long since separated from Norwich, but the aftermath of the massacre has not yet dissipated, and the residents of Norwich still see the entire city with a disgusting blood and evil spirit.

Whenever they walked through the large square in front of Norwich Cathedral, the citizens would walk cautiously with their heads bowed, as if there was some filth there.

The square in front of the former church has always been a place where Norwich citizens report various religious events and entertainment, masquerade balls, bonfires, celebrations, and even blind dates.

But the Bishop of Norwich and the clergy didn't mind at all, and the report of the event would not only make the church more popular, but also allow the church to receive more donations and make a fortune.

But, not long ago, Robert. It was here that the rebels led by Kate fought a fierce and bloody counterattack with the government forces led by the Marquis William who broke through.

The battle took place in this narrow square, and according to the rumors of the corpse collectors, the remains of the corpses were piled up all over the square, and in the end the corpse collectors spent a lot of energy, pulling out hundreds of carts of corpses and spending hundreds of buckets of water to clean up the square.

However, no matter how clean it is, it still leaves a light red mark on the marble floor, which makes people feel shocked and shiver at a glance.

In this way, as time passed, the merchants of Norwich gradually adapted to the arrival of the Marquis William, and merchants from all over the world began to trade intermittently.

After all, after the danger was eliminated, the benefits were once again presented to the hearts of the merchants, and Norwich slowly returned to its former bustle and prosperity.

At this moment, the Marquis of Northampton, who was sitting in Norwich, suddenly read out a surprising decree.

"Robert. Kate and William. The Kate brothers, wantonly colluding with bandits and mobs, massacring people, destroying finances, and, colluding with foreign countries, took the initiative to attack Wang's army, causing a large number of casualties.

Moreover, he also invaded Norwich, scattered rangers to harass the people everywhere, brought great property damage to the people, and his behavior has completely endangered the security of the Kingdom of England and deviated from the traditions of England......

So, by order of His Majesty the King, I will, on behalf of the King and the central government, in the presence of God, give these two sinners the judgment they deserve – the burning at the stake.

Time: 15 February, 1550

Low point: Norwich Cathedral Square"

This sudden verdict made the whole Norwich City a little unable to react.

After all, the punishment of burning at the stake has not been in Norwich for hundreds of years, and the torturer this time is no longer the church, but the government, which is a big surprise.

Although the citizens of Norwich have some sympathy for the Kate brothers and sisters, they have actually brought great harm to Norwich's business, and their lives have been greatly affected.

Therefore, when it comes to this burning, most people have an indifferent attitude, and many people even have curiosity to see this kind of burning at the stake.

After all, in addition to the rural areas, there are still scenes of burning witches from time to time.

In the past 100 years, the cities of England have begun to self-govern, and the merchants and citizens have massively excluded the power of the church, and the public stake is held in the city, which is a rare scene for Norwich, which is a once-in-a-century scene.

And now that they have finally been able to witness this word-of-mouth picture, the young people of the city have no fear in their hearts at this time, but are full of anticipation, waiting in front of the square early, wanting to take a good place in advance.

And no one can stop the lively nature of human beings, and on the 15th, people from all over the world also rushed to Norwich, and the whole Norwich was crowded in vain.
