Chapter 98: Trial of Catherine

This is the first time I've done something big together since I rented his room!

With the end of the square of the Sun and Saturn, you won't be confused for a long time to come, right?

I love this life and doing great things with him!

- "Lemon's Astrological Diary"

The sun shines on the head.

Looking down from the angle of the bell tower, there is a crowd of people below.

Loud sounds can be heard clearly even from the top of the bell tower. Of course, this may also be because Shi Haoren's physique has been greatly strengthened before, and Ning Ning's four ears are relatively smart.

She always denied that the pointed ears on the top of her head could hear the sound, and kept saying that it was an ornament. But Shi Haoren clearly found that Ning Ning was now lying on the high platform of the bell tower, and the ears on the top of her head shrugged one after another.

"Landlord, these people actually say that the bat is a slut!" Lemon grumbled loudly.

"It's all like that." Shi Haoren spread his hands to express helplessness, "Do you remember when you saved Kashan, those ordinary people didn't know anything, and they all believed the words of those in power." This is the limitation of IQ due to class limitations, and in this medieval-like era, the higher classes were equivalent to 'literate people', and their words would have convinced most of the common people. ”

Ningning blinked her eyes, a little adoring, "Wow, landlord, you know a lot." I thought the masses couldn't be so stupid......"

"This is common sense, we live on the earth in the era, people's independent consciousness is very awakened, everyone has their own subjective judgment ability. You see, how many ideological changes the earth has undergone, what Renaissance, Reformation, enlightenment, etc., have laid the foundation for the rise of the independent judgment ability of the lower classes, like Crotty, although the Holy See began to decline, but they lost in the battle with Crotty's royal family, not in the awakening of the mind...... Wait, you who have lived for tens of thousands of years, and are still sweeping the streets of the medieval city of Rome on Earth, will not know this? Shi Haoren twisted Lemon's tail.

"I don't know, I'll just eat enough." Ning Ning puffed out her cheeks towards Shi Haoren.

Shi Haoren felt that it would be better for him to be quiet in the future, and not to talk to Ning Ning at length.

There are only two embarrassing results of arguing with Ning Ning.

The first: Lemon wagged her tail like an idiot, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know."

The second type: Ning Ling smiled lightly: "Sister lives so big, have you never seen what you said?" ”

Also, when Yueling was not around, Shi Haoren found that he couldn't cure the second of this big dog at all.

Yueling had already touched it an hour ago and blended into the crowd.

The noise under the bell tower suddenly disappeared.

Here we go!

Shi Haoren and Ning Ning looked down together, and the crowd below was crowded one after another, all looking at the gallows in the center of the square, and the high platform that had been built.

Carter VII wore a graceful purple mink robe, a golden crown, and a pestle in his hand encrusted with various gems, the main body of which was a scepter of pure gold. He walked very slowly, perhaps because the hem of the robe had to be carried by four people, or because the red carpet was rolled out so slowly that his shoes would not touch anything but the red carpet.

Coming to the high platform, he stretched out his hands and held his scepter high, "Sons of the Carter Kingdom, I am your King Carter VII. ”

Civilians cheered from the audience.

Obviously, after Carter VII ascended the throne, the strength of the Carter Kingdom in all aspects has been greatly strengthened, and the economic strength has been increased by several grades. In front of the commoners who did not know the truth, it was all thanks to the king, and not to the descending woman who "betrayed" the king.

"Today, it is with sadness that I have something to announce." Carter VII pressed his hands down and motioned for the audience to stop the noise, "Your queen, my wife, Katherine Howard, has cheated on me and betrayed our country by having an affair with the lord of Reinhardt. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out an unopened envelope, "This is a personal letter from Reinhardt and Catherine, and I can't bear to look at the contents of the period." As the queen of one country, I really don't know why Catherine should write to the king of another country. I think my clever people can guess the contents of the period, and they can't forgive Catherine for such behavior! ”

"Don't you feel ashamed when he says that?" Ning Ning turned her head and asked Shi Haoren.

Shi Haoren smiled bitterly, "I think it's really capable to say this kind of thing and pretend to be a sad person!" ”

"Landlord, I mean...... Wasn't Carter VII afraid of being ridiculed? ”

"It's a bit like the European Middle Ages, those countries know, right?" Shi Haoren touched his chin, "In their opinion, this may be a sign of bravery, and there is no shame in saying it." ”

"It's incomprehensible." Ning Ning patted Shi Haoren's back with her tail, "Landlord, I'll want to rush down and bite Carter VII to death!" ”

"Or not." Shi Haoren vetoed the proposal, "Let's leave after saving Catherine, don't cause more trouble, otherwise it won't end well." The cat is also an indigenous prosecutor of this continent, and it has a connection with Dingdong 66666, so we can't go too far. ”

There was another commotion below.

Ning Ning wowed, and Shi Haoren looked fixedly.

Catherine was not forced to change into a prison uniform, she was still dressed as a queen should wear, and even had countless jewels on her head.

The only difference was that her hands were chained, and the two executioners held the chains and carried her to the gallows.

Her steps are sloppy. Even if it was so far away, Shi Haoren believed that Catherine's eyes were definitely full of despair now.

What does it feel like to be betrayed by the most beloved?

And what does it feel like to push you into the abyss?

And let you bear the infamy, hehe!

Shi Haoren really hates cats and Carter VII now, and he has gone too far to "hang Catherine".

The noise ceased again.

Carter VII's eyes were grim, "My dear queen, is there anything else you want to say?" ”

Catherine's eyes were blank as she looked at Carter VII on the high platform.

She smiled.

Laughing desolately.

She said, "My dearest king and sovereign, merciful husband, your most humble servant, Catherine Howard, would like to ask you whether you, like a bystander, have you fallen too quickly to me, and therefore your queen must fall?" ”

"Is it because I have turned my back on me that I love you alone, or is your kind heart blinded by dust?"

"In fact, all the truth is sealed in an envelope, but none of you want to open this letter to read it. In other words, none of you want to find out the truth. ”

Carter VII sneered, "As my queen, what reason do you have to correspond with the patriarch of the Reinhardt family?" Is it to establish the ridiculous trade relationship you are talking about? Do you need to take care of this, this is what I have to do as a king, right? ”

A three-in-a-row, Catherine could only smile bitterly.

"Correspondence is the best proof that you have betrayed me, and I don't want to, nor can I bear to read the contents of this letter."

"Great Your Majesty, put this to death. Woman! ”

"This lowly woman, who has betrayed our king, who has betrayed our kingdom, put her to death!"

"Kill her!"

The brainless onlookers began to make loud noises.

They threw rotten dishes and rotten eggs at Catherine on the gallows.

Carter VII also loudly announced: "Prepare to be hanged!" ”

Ling Ning stood up from Shi Haoren's side in a moment, "Landlord, landlord, I can......'t bear it."

Shi Haoren dragged Lemon's tail and dragged Lemon back to the ground and lay on her stomach, "Wait, look! ”

Ning Ning looked at Shi Haoren's fingers and found that there was a restlessness in the crowd, and a team of mercenaries dressed as ordinary people drew weapons from their clothes.

"More than one team!"

Shi Haoren found that in the eight directions of the square, mercenaries disguised as civilians rushed out, not to mention two or three hundred.

PS:

This plot is inspired by King Henry VIII of England and his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, and everyone can check it out if they are interested. Well, if you think this "public execution plot" is very unreasonable, you can find out. There is a song "Catherine Howard's Fate" that tells this story, which is very good, and the inspiration for the plot of the panda comes from this.
