Chapter 90: The Story
"In this world, misunderstandings spread all over the world, and reason is silent. ”
This sentence was the last sentence of Xu Mu's letter to Sresta, and he gave his sister a piece of advice.
Since the civilians in the capital already have a big misunderstanding about the ceremonial officer, it is better to increase the depth of this misunderstanding to the point where the civilians begin to hate the ceremonial officer.
Sleta was not stupid, and knew that if she wanted to increase the resentment of the commoners of the capital against the ceremonial officer, it was not something that could be done by writing a few more ballads.
It is only a coincidence that the ballad can cause the current situation, and if it is to cause a riot among the civilians, it must be done in a different way.
And the solution that Sreta has in mind now is to write the story.
The ballad is fake, and no names are named, so how to write it is a pleasure for everyone to hear.
But for a story to resonate with the hearts of civilians, it must be true, or half-true.
That's why Sleta asked Bereth to go out and search for everything in the life of the ceremonial officer in the capital, whether it was good or bad, and of course bad things were better.
Fortunately, the civilians of the capital have great grievances against the ceremonial officer, and if his life was before, everyone would not discuss it privately, but now as long as someone asks, they will basically tell what they know.
In fact, in the first two days of Beres's hands, there was no information that could exert the 'power' of the explosion.
The reason why the ceremonial officer was able to take office was because he did a very good job in this aspect of his superficial skills, and even if he did not do things cleanly, he would not be criticized.
For two days, some of the ceremonial officers were injured by their attendants, and the ceremonial officer's dog killed a beggar or something.
For the aristocracy, these are harmless at all.
Just as Sleta was sulking from her thumb in the bedroom, Beres brought back another message.
It's about the ceremonial officer who married a mistress in the capital a year ago and entered the house.
Although the kingdom did not require the nobles to be monogamous, the Temple Creed was strict and the Templars were allowed to be monogamous.
Therefore, not only the nobles of Heaney, but also the commoners followed the tenets of the temple and had only one wife for the rest of their lives.
However, the nobles had no conflict of interest with the Temple, and the Kingdom did not follow the creed of supporting the Temple, so the nobles had mistresses, both openly and privately.
Even some nobles would marry mistresses into their homes, but they did not have any status, and the nobles did not dare to take more wives under the pressure of the temple.
Just like half a year ago, Sleta pretended to be the illegitimate daughter of one of Count Alto's many mistresses in the town.
Although the mistress has no name on the surface, the child she gives birth to has the right of inheritance in the kingdom law.
A year ago, the ceremonial officer had married a mistress, and the mistress was not particularly happy to enter the hostess's house.
Listening to Bereth tell her all about what had happened, Sleta finally understood.
The mistress was originally just a girl who helped her family watch the stalls and sell goods on the street, and she was not even 20 years old, but she was outstanding in appearance and had a wild beauty, and she was one of the best beauties in that street.
However, by chance, the ceremonial officer passed by in a carriage and saw the girl, and he was immediately fascinated by the girl's beauty.
After returning home, the etiquette officer immediately asked people to negotiate with the girl's family, saying that the etiquette officer wanted to take the girl into the house.
The girl's family was very happy, because the money given by the ceremonial officer was incomparably rich, enough for the two of them to live well in the capital for the rest of their lives.
Although the girl did not like the ceremonial officer, she obeyed her parents and entered the house of the ceremonial officer.
When the civilians heard this, they privately accused the ceremonial officials of not keeping the temple creed and should have been put to death in the walls.
Of course, they also talk about it privately.
After Beres finished telling the story, she was also a little discouraged in her heart.
After all, this kind of thing is actually not a big deal, and like the previous incidents, although there are bad things, the ceremonial officer has not done a particularly bad job. He didn't force other people's families, he also paid his own price, and his parents also agreed to it.
The only thing he was criticized for violating the temple creed.
However, Sleta was not as discouraged as Berez, on the contrary, her eyes flashed and she exclaimed!
Sleta is a girl who can lie, because lying can get some benefits or a chance to survive for herself, and she lives in a world of lies.
This story doesn't seem to be much wrong with Beres, but in Sresta's eyes, it is actionable.
People who can lie are generally not bad at writing stories, especially if there are events to refer to.
As long as the matter of marrying a mistress is changed to a story of tears and anger, it is not difficult to provoke the tyrannical emotions in the hearts of the common people.
What lie is the most terrible?
Three true and seven false, or seven true and three false.
Sleta thought through the story and thought it was feasible.
Then she asked Beres to pick up the pen and draft the story according to her own ideas.
Beres wondered how Sreta would make it up, but she was dumbfounded when she heard Sresta's thoughts.
The girl's parents, who were originally full of joy and frantically nodded in agreement, became a tragic role that was coerced by the power of the ceremonial officer and bowed their heads.
And the girl, who is just a little resistant in her heart, has also become crying and wanting to commit suicide.
What's even more outrageous is that Sleta concocts a boy's family, and the boy falls in love with the girl, but the girl is unfortunately taken by the ceremonial officer and has to obey.
The boy had the courage to love and went to the house of the ceremonial officer to pray, and then the ceremonial officer killed the boy and buried him quietly.
When the relatives of the boy's family saw that the boy had not returned from the hostess's house, they gathered together and went to the hostess's house to find out the result, and in the end, the whole family was quietly killed by the hostess, and they were all buried in a corner of the hostess's house.
When the girl was taken to the house of the ceremonial officer, she did not see the boy looking for her, and she wept as she got into the ceremonial officer's carriage, and then the carriage entered the house of the ceremonial officer with the sound of the girl crying.
After the story was finished, Beres was really stunned, if he hadn't inquired about the news, he would have thought that this story was true!
The ceremonial officer is completely depicted as tyrannical and murderous for selfish desires, and the image of being quite unreasonable can be described as vivid.
After all, the nobility is not very good in the eyes of the commoners.
After finalizing the draft, Berez immediately picked up the pen and began to write on the scroll paper used for the official document.
Fearing that she would be traced, Sleta did not let Beres go out to find someone to reproduce it, nor did she buy paper from outside, but asked Berez to take some scroll paper that she still had at home to reproduce.
After he used light magic to reproduce the sketch he had written onto another scroll paper, Sleta grinned as she held the scroll paper full of text stories, and the corners of her mouth rose to a strange angle, making Beres tremble.
Because Berez's magic is not strong, she needs to rest and recover her magic after reproducing a few more copies, so it took a whole day for her to reproduce nearly 100 copies.
Fortunately, Sleta finally felt that this was about the same, and Beres had collapsed, after all, the magic was not strong and she recovered a few times of magic and continued to use magic, which was really torturous for her mentally and physically.
