The day after the city froze, the heavy rain began to fall uncontrollably, the rain was endless, the leaden gray sky seemed to be pouring all the rain of the previous year to the city of White Harbor, the heavy rain fell for three days, today it finally stopped a little, and the sky was still floating with rain.

A light drizzle did not dampen the enthusiasm of the residents of White Harbor City to watch the hanging.

The heavy rain made the people of the city feel bored at home for three days, and it happened to be lively again, and suddenly the execution ground built in the central square of White Harbor City attracted countless onlookers.

"Blacksmith. Isn't your shop often selling things to the mansion of the Guardian Lord? But I heard that our Guardian Lord, is it the city lord of the Ram Gate who was executed this time? I think the rumors in the market are true, otherwise why is this execution ground much larger than in the past? There are even more guards. A woman with a vegetable basket in her hand whispered to the middle-aged man huddled in front of her fat son who was a few months old.

"Gerry's family, how can you still be interested in killing people alone, every time you take your children who are not yet over the age of age to see, what are your thoughts, what is your man's intention to cultivate a murderer? However, who is on the execution ground today, just wait and see, you ask me, I just trade with the White Harbor Lord's Mansion every year to sell a few firewood knives and kitchen knives, what news do you think I can hear? But isn't your Gerry's niece often working as a helper in the Lord's Mansion? The news must be well-informed. ”

The blacksmith poked his head to look at the gallows, for fear of missing the scene when the prisoner was brought out, the blacksmith likes to watch the bustle of the execution ground in White Harbor City, because in previous years, his family's blacksmith shop was often burglarized, but the thief caught the most during the Mandalay family governance and sentenced him to exile to the Great Wall, but since Lord Lynn entered White Harbor, the sentencing law was implemented, and theft can only be sentenced to hanging or death because of the accumulated cases, but was directly refuted by the judge, and after being sent to the gallows, the blacksmith has been fascinated since then, watching the program of criminals being executed every half month in White Harbor City.

The blacksmith's words made the young woman's face flush, his man's niece was indeed a helper in the Lord's Mansion, but she was only sitting in the kitchen with the most inferior job, and she was not even qualified to really enter the hall of the Lord's Mansion.

Neither of them found any news from the other's mouth, and they did not speak in disappointment, waiting for the prisoner on the gallows to appear.

At this time, a man wearing a cloak next to them suddenly whispered, "It's normal that you don't know. Because the lord of the Ram Gate who was executed this time was not executed at all for the crime of losing the city, so a lot of news was secretly blocked. ”

The woman holding the child shook the child's buttocks to her chest, and hurriedly responded: "I just heard that this hanging is not ordinary, so I rushed to see the baby without eating, but what is unusual, I don't understand, this gentleman, what gossip do you know, you might as well talk about it." ”

The man in the cloak laughed twice, looked up at the crowd around him, and deliberately lowered his voice: "It's not a good person who knows about this, but there happens to be someone in my family who is doing trade in Horwood City, and the news came from Horwood City, and it was pressed when we arrived in White Harbor." ”

Although the man's voice was lowered, because his hoarse voice was very recognizable, and the surrounding crowd could hear it very clearly, many people no longer pushed forward to find a better place to watch the execution, but stopped and pricked up their ears to listen.

The man in the cloak didn't seem to care, and he didn't deliberately whet everyone's appetite, and continued to explain, "I'm afraid you've probably all heard about it, and you know who was sentenced to be hanged today, Lord Hood of Ram Gate, that is Lord Lynn after he entered the northern realm, a feudal lord, speaking of which, he used to be a native of our White Harbor City, and managed things in the Mandalay family, and served as a squire knight here, and later went to Fishing Village Harbor to serve as the head of Lord Lynn's guards, and finally became the lord of a city.

This time, the Ram Gate was attacked and captured by the Essos, resulting in the disaster of being attacked by foreign soldiers on the east coast of the northern border, this Lord Hood is extremely guilty, but for the sake of his chief personal guard of our Guardian Lord, under normal circumstances, the Inquisitor will not directly sentence him to hanging, but this sentence finally alarmed the Guardian Lord, and the Inquisitor still resolutely intends to execute this defeated city lord. ”

"Why is that? Doesn't the Inquisitor dare not estimate the will of the Guardian?" the blacksmith listened attentively, and the man in the cloak suddenly did not speak, and he asked in a hurried voice.

The woman holding the baby was also confused by the cloaked man's words, and opened her mouth and said, "Could it be related to the news of Horwood just now?"

"That's right," the cloaked man shrugged, "This Ram Gate Lord Hood was found on the outskirts of Horwood City, and when he was taken to the Lord's Mansion of Horwood City to meet the City Lord of Mandalay, he kept chanting some strange words loudly, and these strange words not only caused fear throughout Horwood City, but even the Lord Hood who went to contact him returned to White Harbor, and the Gregien Legion Commander came back with a bruised face, hey, his expression was extremely ugly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the man in the cloak was completely silent, in sharp contrast to the noisy environment around him, and everyone around him erected their ears like a white rabbit, tall and big, for fear of missing every word behind the man.

"What did you and my lord say in Horwood City? In fact, this is not a secret at all, how many families in White Harbor have relatives in Horwood City, and the distance between the two places is only a hundred miles, and many people know it, when the Mandalay family sentry cavalry discovered and guarded Hood, and shouted loudly in the street, saying that the defeat was not that he had offended, but that the witchcraft of the Essos people was too evil, and he declared that he had fled from the battle not to spare his life, but to spread the news to White Harbor. ”

The blacksmith smashed his mouth when he heard this, and his face was incredulous, "If the Essos are so powerful, then the last time Howood City faced the siege of the Gentiles, where could they still defend it, and they told some deceitful nonsense, and there were many nobles who had bad brains, and they fled back when they fled, and with his previous experience in serving by Lord Lynn's side, if he didn't say this nonsense, he might not end up being hanged." ”
