Verse 536: Spiegel (3)
"Hagelberry, aren't you a relative of Your Excellency Marin, say something." Someone whispered in the crowd.
Old Hagelberry didn't hear it—what a joke, this scene is clearly a big occasion for Marlin to want the Sanders family and the Alan family to reunite, I, an old man, have no quarrel with the world, you let me be clear, and live the last days of my life peacefully, I'm eighty years old, and I haven't lived my old friends for a few years.
"Hagelberry, aren't you Marin's elder, say something." Halfling's friend Thomas muttered.
Old Hagelberg glared at the halfling, thinking to himself that such a terrible friend should be broken up, can you still be considered a friend? I can bring me a sense of security more than you can bring me a new vase!
"Hagelberry, don't stand in the crowd, come out and have a round." His Majesty Mannheim on the throne spoke.
This time, old Hagelberry who stood up stubbornly limped, crooked his mouth, his innocent eyes were full of doubts, he glanced at Marin, and when he was about to pretend that he was stammering, the smile in the young man's eyes could no longer be hidden, he smiled and threw over a bottle of potion: "Old Hagelberg, my elder, what's wrong with you, if you feel bad, drink this bottle of potion prepared by the World Tree Acorn, and you will definitely get rid of the disease." ”
Elixir! Old Hagelberg took the potion and put it in his pocket, his hands were not lame, his waist was no longer bent, and there was no longer hesitation in his eyes, he stood like an old soldier and looked at his majesty: "Your Majesty, I think that since Your Excellency Marin has all the evidence of his crimes, why not open our eyes in front of the ministers in the hall." ”
Anyway, in the eyes of old Hagelberg, these two are already dead, and old Hagelberg thinks that even if he offends people, it is nothing, as for the relatives of these two families...... Ha, the children of the Hagelberry family never sleep with these craps, and it's too late for you to regret it.
"This ......" Someone in the crowd wanted to speak and stopped, old Hagelberg turned his head, and the ministers in the crowd immediately lowered their heads.
What is this, you have a kind of saying, there is a kind of standing up, it's really embarrassing, what a thing.
Scolding in his heart, old Hagelberg, who shrugged his shoulders, turned to look at Marin - this grandson-in-law is really more and more pleasing to the eye, and it was really the right way to marry Lulu this child to him in the first place.
Thinking of this, old Hagelberg looked at this grandson-in-law with a smile on his face: "Marin, my child, can you help us count the sins from the Sanders family and the Alan family." ”
"Old Hagelberry! You're going to hell! Prime Minister Sanders scolded angrily.
As if hearing the funniest joke, old Hagelberg looked at the former prime minister who was already half standing in the hell cauldron and raised his eyebrows, while the old Hagelberg's grandson-in-law smiled, and the twig of the World Tree that slipped from his wrist took Old Hagelberg's shoulder as a cushion, jumped over the open space in the center of the hall, and landed in front of Sanders, and the whip cracked the prime minister's face.
Wow, doesn't the story say that the twigs of the World Tree don't hurt people? It turns out that it is true that it does not hurt people, and Mr. Prime Minister does not seem to be human.
The discovery pleased old Hagelberg, who glanced at Marin while his grandson-in-law smiled at his elder and stroked his breast.
"Son, count their sins." Old Hagelberry felt that today was the highlight of his life, and the smile on his face was about to overflow when he looked at Marin.
He stretched out his hand, and the books danced, and one of them flew in front of Marin, who opened it as if consciously.
Old Hagelberg could feel the envious and jealous gaze behind him, and if such a gaze could kill, then old Hagelbergberg felt that he had been killed by a thousand blades, and this feeling made the old man very happy, and he raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and at the same time noticed that his majesty's gaze was so meaningful.
Ha, Your Majesty, you see, this is the pain of not having a daughter, and I have a granddaughter who is most worthy of my pride and pride.
At this time, Marin read aloud the contents of the account book coldly: "In winter, on the 42nd, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mike Drexy, purchased a batch of weapons from the Marin workshop, 14,000 new muskets, and the accompanying ammunition, the accounts are clear and confirmed, and they are hereby recorded. ”
On the forty-second day, two days ago, old Hagelberry recalled, and found that it had happened, and he looked at his majesty, to know what could be wrong with it.
"It's normal, Your Excellency Marin, Prime Minister Sanders will meet the Chancellor's account books, and I will check each other to make sure there are no mistakes." His Majesty Mannheim smiled, but this smiling appearance Old Hagelberry has seen a lot, and it seems that His Majesty is not stupid, but he used to ...... Why didn't he check it before?
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that I'm Marin, this would never have been a problem." Marin stretched out his hand and pressed back the lady who had just gotten up from her seat and wanted to bump into something.
Then he began to continue his explanation: "I sold 10,000 new muskets, 4,000 were sent, a gun was 120 yuan, 4,000 is 480,000 Mowhis, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is bold, and put 4,000 in the account, which one is Mike Dresy, please come out and let me see, after all, such a talent, if he is found in my enterprise, he will definitely be dragged by the factory guards to the woods north of the city to bleed and feed the spirits." Marin smiled and looked at the crowd, as if he wanted to find the bold minister.
Old Hagelberg was very satisfied with this—compared to the Northern Kingdom's treatment of such a rebellious minister and thief, he would use the punishment of a blood eagle.
Marin, this kid, is still too kind.
Thinking of this, old Hagelberg saw that the crowd parted very tacitly, and a middle-aged man fell to the ground, looking like he had fainted.
The fair paladins were understanding, they took the chairs of the chairs, the potions of the potion, the pinching of the mouth, and the punch that found that they could not open the mouth of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the stomach to physically open the mouth to pour the potion, and after all in one go, old Hagelberg watched the poor Chancellor of the Exchequer break free from the paladin's grasp and kneel in front of his majesty.
"I and the Prime Minister, no, the guilty were coerced by Sanders, a traitor! He said if he didn't, he would send my bastard to war! Your Majesty! I have nine daughters with my wife! Just such a son! I'm guilty! But please spare my children! ”
Old Hagelberg glanced sideways at the former Prime Minister Sanders in everyone's eyes, and the latter trembled, and it seemed that his good friend who was making money together was in the middle of the battle, which dealt a great blow to him.
Hey, you see, this was originally a business of two and one to add five, but it was said by this bald man, and it became a human tragedy, which is really embarrassing.
"Guard, please stand aside the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Marin, do you have anything else to discover?"
"Yes, it's still the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I sold the guns to your regimental commander before, and after using them, the praise has been rave reviews, your military has purchased 300 guns from me, and it has also passed through the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the former Prime Minister Sanders recorded here that it was the 43rd of winter, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Mike Drecy purchased a batch of cannons from the Marin Workshop, 300 new rear-loading guns, and 45,000 rounds of shells, the accounts are clear, and the confirmation is correct, and it is hereby recorded."
"Isn't the number of cannons right?" His Majesty's voice was full of joy, but there was no joy on his face, and old Hagelberry even saw the anger in the man's eyes.
"Yes, the number of cannons is right, after all, the rear-loading cannon is 20,000 Mowhis, and the output is not high, I have no reason to send it, but when the list came over, it was 30,000 rounds of shells, and out of the intention of helping our fellow human beings fight against chaos, we bought two and got one free, and sent 15,000 shells." Marin smiled when he said this, and he turned his head to look at the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Mike, you are really a genius, you even dare to tell the military that His Excellency Marin sold you a third more shells, and the military fools really believe it." ”
Old Hagelberg glanced at the military representatives, in terms of the temper of the military, it should be fried at this time, but this time several representatives of the military either lowered their heads and did not say a word...... It seems that he should have contacted the military a long time ago, because old Hagelberg saw that General Sergei of the military simply stood up and bowed to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, this is our military's negligence. ”
"I'm not to blame you for that." Driving away the military representatives who stood up to lead the pot, His Majesty Mannheim looked at Marin with a heavy expression: "Your Excellency Marin, what do you think should be done with such a chaotic minister and thief?" ”
"Hanging, this is my mercy to them, Your Majesty." Marin, the child, said lightly.
"You are too merciful, Lord Marin." His Majesty Mannheim shook his head: "I don't think it's enough. ”
"Old Kades has said so about me, Your Majesty, but I still have to say, hanging." Marin shook his head in the same way.
Old Hagelberg looked at this majesty and this double legend, and suddenly felt that these two guys were really awkward, and at the same time happy for his cousin, you were lucky to meet Lord Marin in the last days of your life, Kades.
"I think the Blood Eagle Punishment is quite suitable for them, but after all, I asked you, so, can you raise the intensity of the execution a little more, I don't want future history to mention me as a king, I say that he is the most merciful king in the history of the Northern Kingdom." When His Majesty Mannheim said this, he almost admitted that he would not use the punishment of the Blood Eagle, which made Old Hagelberg feel that His Majesty valued Marin.
Yes, this is the first time in history that His Majesty of the Northern Kingdom has sent an outsider to sentenc. This in itself is a kind of kindness, think about it...... It's because the Chancellor of the Exchequer is his cousin.
Thinking of this, the elder Hagelberg turned his attention to Marin, and he wondered how this young man would be sentenced.
After all, the hanging was too gentle, could Marin come up with a harsher way to execute it than hanging?
In his eyes, the young Marin thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Then burn at the stake, what does Your Majesty think." ”
Old Hagelberg was silent, and the Zhuqing behind him gasped.
Is this your gentleness, Marin, my child, I really feel your strength.
It is really ...... to execute rebellious ministers and thieves by burning at the stake to execute Chaos believers What a groundbreaking idea!
………………
Marin finished speaking of the new method of execution, and the young chief priest looked around, his elder Hagelberg fell silent, and the ministers behind him were shocked.
"Mr. Silva, is there anything wrong with what I said?" So Marin asked the young paladin.
"No problem, I should say worthy of His Excellency the Priest, burning at the stake is what our church does best, if His Majesty Mannheim doesn't have enough manpower to set up a fight, our just church can help." The young Grand Paladin said with a smile.
This answer made Marin nod his head - indeed, as a child who grew up in the church, Marin was all too familiar with burning at the stake, whether it was a short girl from the foreign countryside who was burned at the stake by the English and Burgundians in his previous life, or the burns that were erected at the stake for Chaos believers in this life, they all told Marin that this was the best way to execute as a priest.
Gallows? This was only the result of haste and necessity, and was mostly used in the church in areas where the rainy branches could not be dried, and here Marin believed that there would be no absolute shortage of dry wood and dry branches.
As for His Majesty Mannheim's punishment of the Blood Eagle, in Marin's opinion, it was too cumbersome for both the executioner and the tortured.
In these years, whether it is a business or a sentence, efficiency is the first.
Thinking of this, Marin looked at His Majesty Mannheim again: "Your Majesty, do you think so, although the construction of the stake is a bit wasted, but in terms of the shock of the execution, it should be more shocking than hanging." ”
His Majesty Mannheim nodded as if he was not satisfied: "Well, as you said, Your Excellency Marlin...... So, old Hagelberry, you are in charge of the construction of the execution ground, my former Chancellor of the Exchequer, the former Prime Minister, and our dear Earl Sgram, three burns at the stake, is half a day enough? ”
"Enough, Your Majesty." Old Hagelberry replied.
Marin was stunned for a moment: "Is it just these three?" Marin asked.
His Majesty Mannheim was silent for a moment, old Hagelberg's eyes widened, and the courtiers whispered.
"Your Excellency Marin, why do you say that?" His Majesty Mannheim finally asked.
"Your Majesty, in our church, since we say that we will be burned at the stake, then we must judge the whole family of sinners together, so ...... What you said earlier about the punishment of the Blood Eagle was actually only the execution of three people? Marin looked at His Majesty the King, and felt that his previous number of Blood Eagle Punishments seemed to be a little off.
I thought you were going to torture all three families with Blood Eagle, so I took pity on the executioners and the tortured, and thought that I could give them a good time.
As a result, you told me to kill these three people?
That's it?
Looking at the confusion in His Majesty's Mannheim eyes, Marin smiled helplessly.
It turned out that it was really me who was too kind.
