Daenerys, who had just walked to the main hall with the help of the maid, happened to see this scene, the woman who knelt numbly on the ground and the dead body in the package in her arms, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.

And just like Daenerys, the civilians who were originally curious to look at the woman also seemed to realize something, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and quickly lowered their heads one by one, as if they hadn't heard or seen anything.

The main hall was very quiet at the moment, and everyone was waiting for the verdict of Ma Shen.

Ma Shen, who was sitting on the main seat, flicked his fingers lightly on the armrest a few times, the sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh when the thin needle fell on the ground, and an inexplicable tense atmosphere began to brew in the hall.

"I don't know how this highness plans to deal with this matter. ”

Although his head was lowered, every free man standing on the field couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

The people who came to complain today were all freedmen, because the slaves had never been qualified to appeal to the ruler in Meereen, so of course the freedmen in the main hall were completely biased towards this woman, and they were more or less affected by the turmoil of that night.

People are selfish creatures, and it doesn't matter if they give away something inconsequential without harming their own interests, but once they damage their core interests, then things will become complicated, even in the United States, where everyone is said to be equal, white people think that jobs are all taken away by the Chinese, and even a large number of Chinese exclusion laws have been introduced.

"Let those abominable slaves go to hell!!" cursed a freeman man in high boots, the hope of most of the city's freedmen.

Merely.. The freeman man in high boots stole a glance up at Ma Shen on the main seat, and now everyone in Meereen knew that this highness was called a liberator by the slaves, and was loved by the slaves, and they didn't know how he would judge, whether it would be a big matter to a small matter, a small matter, or a just judgment.

"Smack. Syllable.. The dull sound of stone crashing came from Ma Shen's stone chair, which did not depend on the will of man, and surrounded people's ears.

After a while, the voice finally stopped, and Ma Shen looked at the helpless woman kneeling underneath and suddenly said, "Have you seen the appearance of the slave who broke into your house that night?"

"Their looks are so vividly etched in my mind that I can recognize them even if they turn to dust. ”

"Then, under the witness of the gods, I will administer justice for you, for your dead husband, for you... Ma Shen stood up and looked deeply at the young corpse whose face was not clear in the package, "Justice for your dead children, the warriors who fight for freedom will be my people, and I will give them glory and freedom!"

"But!" said Ma Shen, glancing around the main hall, "those who follow their desires and kill are robbers, murderers, they are sinners! they are not worthy to be my people! they will be punished as they deserve!"

"Great and honorable Highness. ”

"Great and honorable Highness. ”

The freedmen who came to complain, both the accuser and the accused, fell on their knees with all sincerity, and in the present situation they desperately wanted a ruler who would take care of them, and not a ruler who regarded them as enemies.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" In this voice, there is a voice that is particularly obvious, that is, the woman who was defiled overnight, and her husband and child died, tears continued to flow from her red and swollen eyes, and her heart was still like ashes before, thinking that she would never be able to take revenge again, and she really didn't expect that this man who was called a slave liberator was willing to administer justice for her.

Later, I had to contact the elders who were in charge of dealing with slaves, Ma Shen, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the civilians who knelt on the ground and thought silently in his heart, whether it is the Middle Ages or the 21st century, the masses are synonymous with ignorance and easy to fool, not to mention the slave group itself that does not have much culture, and there must be some ignorant slaves who think that they have come together with the free people.

However, as for whether the judgment should be just, Ma Shen did not hesitate much, just now he was just weighing some things in the future, and there are many ways to deal with ignorant people, for the sake of the norms in his heart, justice and the support of the free people, according to the law, how to judge how to judge, whether it is the written law or the moral and social outlook that people in this world have always existed, it is in line with his own judgment.

To say that when he entered the city the night before, when some of Meereen's scattered defeated soldiers began to flee into the city, Ma Shen was mentally prepared, not to mention that there was a slave riot later, if he didn't have absolute power and cut off the heads of a large number of riot slaves, it would definitely be difficult to suppress the violence in the hearts of the slaves.

Some people say that slaves are a group of poor people, and he agrees with this, but if all slaves are innocent and kind people, then they are all, and there are many people who were torn to pieces by them and eaten in their stomachs the night before, they have been oppressed by the great lord for a long time, and they will be subjected to cruel criminal laws at every turn, so they who have witnessed cruelty know how to survive and endure far more than other free people. . . Hide the tyranny in your heart.

At the same time, in the hearts of the free people of Meereen, who were killed the night before, they must have favored the slaves, and the slaves of the rebellion were objectively on the side of the victors, and no matter what world they were in, there was no such thing as the defeated side demanding punishment from the victors.

The reason why war is called war is precisely because of its cruelty, and the cruelty lies not only in the soldiers who died on the battlefield, but also in the civilians who died innocently because of the war.

After all, how many soldiers can really die on the battlefield, and most of the dead are implicated civilians.

Just as the fire that the Lannisters planted in the riverland destroyed the families of innocent civilians, if they were a little more unlucky and lived in some villages near the forest, they would not only be home, but also their lives.

Therefore, the freedmen did not dare to complain about slaves, but only silently kept their hatred in their hearts.

Now, then, I have to tell them that in my eyes there is no distinction between free people and slaves, they are all his own people, Ma Shen squeezed his fist hard.

At this time, when everyone fell to their knees, Daenerys, whose face was a little pale, let go of the hands supported by her personal maid and silently walked to Ma Shen's side.

Seeing Daenerys, the woman who served him last night, Ma Shen didn't mean to "hang" ruthlessly, gently tilted his shoulders, and then looked at her with concern.

"How's your health, Your Highness Dani. Although she didn't speak, Daenerys read the meaning in his eyes, and her face couldn't help but blush again.

After a slight hesitation, Daenerys said, "Your Highness Ma Shen, can you leave this matter to me, I will let those villains receive the punishment they deserve." ”

As she spoke, as if she had thought of something, Daenerys completely lost the posture of the little woman before, and her face began to show a cold light, and the moment she saw the body of the child in the woman's hand just now, she remembered her miserable death of the child.
