358 Merciful ruling

Her Majesty's orders were not questioned this time, and were carried out with lightning speed, and although she often made some comic gestures, those close to her knew what a terrible soul lived in this petite body ("it" had turned Neustria upside down, and had "invited" the Pope to Neustria), so that no one dared not take her orders seriously every time she was really serious.

But when the mobilized city guards arrived on the scene, they were stunned to find that the predetermined orders and rhetoric were no longer needed.

The crowd was throwing rotten vegetable skins, stones, and all the little things they could find for no money at the undocumented prosecutors they were about to "ask them to leave," and the roar was rising higher and higher.

What's going on?

It turned out that when the people who were watching the square ran to report this terrible accusation of the Queen, the accused former pirate leader who remained at the scene did not sit still, on the contrary, he was very active in exculpating himself, and by "positive" he meant that he in turn accused the other party.

"What do you say? I didn't hear clearly, everybody, be quiet, and ask this -- this lady -- to speak out loud again! "First of all, he put on a pious and kind face, which he often praised the Neustrian traders near the naval base, commanded his men to shout in unison to silence the people around him, and then made an inquiry in a very polite tone as if he did not know what was happening, of course, the countess, who had the pain of losing her husband and the suffering of being a wife to the charcoal burner, could not forgive the robber so easily, and she snorted at Adair and scolded him several times about the turtle bastard. The dog thing that went to hell made Adair show an innocent look of extreme confusion and distress. "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"I won't be mistaken! Dog stuff! You are the murderer of my husband, the honorable Count Faisal! I will never forget your face in a thousand years! The Countess snorted at Adair again.

"Your husband, Count Faisal, and I—wait. You say you are the honorable Countess Faisal? He immediately summoned all his lung capacity and shouted in the highest pitch to make sure that the rest of the people in the square could hear him as much as possible, "You are an earl—the count's wife?" Oh—my gods—" With this aria, he glanced at Lady Helena from head to toe with a very exaggerated motion.

The crowd, who had been asked to be quiet, were not disturbed by any other disturbances at this moment, and could not help but follow his gaze to examine the countess of the previous dynasty.

I have to say that her current dignity is really good-looking!

Once upon a time. Lady Helena was proud of her hair, which she considered "the beauty of the aristocracy", and in a sense it was, because it was the result of the maids spending a great deal of time combing her hair every day. Now she did things for others, and had no time or maid to take care of her hair, and because she had endured years of torment under the charcoal burners, her hair was now tangled like the thorn bushes of a swamp like the serfs she had once mocked. Like the thorn bushes in the swamp, it was covered with all kinds of dirty things, and it was so stained by soot that it was impossible to see its original color, like an old crow's nest. It's like wearing a wig made of cinders and chicken feathers.

When she was a countess, she ate well and slept well. Although she is already a mother of several children, her face is still as fresh as a girl. Filled with collagen provided by meat, back then. Some serf's cardamom teenage girl looked older than she was because of the burdens of life. But now, having lived in the woods with the charcoal burner for several years, her vitality had been exhausted by several beatings and the ensuing illness, her plump cheeks had deflated, her lips had lost blood, and her nose, which had been tall and straight, had been broken, like a witch in a painting!

Her hands were white and small, and that was when she only used them to embroider and play house fights! When she had to earn food and clothing for herself with these hands, and she could not write and count, the flesh on her fingers quickly faded, and now her bony hands were covered with terrible scars, the result of all kinds of hard labor she had not been skilled in!

The image of such a shriveled and withered old woman, with a leaky mouth, a ragged rag, and a smoky voice, claiming to be the noble countess made many frivolous young spectators giggle on the spot, and the person who had the most affection for the nobility would never risk losing face to stand on the same front with her!

Of course, the cunning Adair will not let go of this opportunity!

"Madam, I tell you honestly, you don't look like a countess...... Does anyone know her children? Tell them to take this poor, hysterical lady away! ”

The crowd smiled and nodded, none of them had read Princess Pea, and even if they did, they would not think that a rain-soaked girl would be a real princess, compared to what kind of countess this shriveled old lady was, madness was a more acceptable explanation for them, not to mention ......

Helena could not accept this explanation, and she could not help but be thrilled that this great liar and villain had the audacity to turn black and white upside down in broad daylight in front of so many people, and to question her identity—which was more unacceptable to Lady Helena, who had always prided herself on her bloodline, than to kill her husband: "You hellish dog! How dare you speak like this to a countess of Neustria! ”

Instead of support, her angry scolding drew another burst of laughter.

Adair shrugged his shoulders understandingly, indicating that his innocent self was heart-to-heart with the crowd, and he couldn't cry or laugh like that.

Helena was not willing to let her accusations end up like this, and she decided to turn things around in one fell swoop at any cost: "Phew! That shameless stepdaughter of mine must have colluded with you! She instigated you to kill my husband in order to gain territory......"

The others present couldn't remember for a moment who the stepdaughter of Count "Feisa" was, and Adair still couldn't remember?

As the saying goes, don't bite a dog, bite a dog doesn't bark, don't look at Helena jumping and barking, spitting stars flying again and again, she can't be literate and martial arts, at best she's just a clown, where is the opponent of the former pirate leader who is amiable and grinning on the surface? To put it bluntly, Adair has cut down more people than she has ever seen, burned more churches and monasteries than she has ever visited, and villains like him always want justice on his lips - his face immediately changed: "Ah! This madwoman actually sucked the icon I was wearing! She must have been demonically possessed! Everyone, hurry up and exorcise the demons! "Of course, as a robber leader who has won many battles and not a so-called superior who is raised in the hands of the women of the deep palace, he is well aware of the necessity of being the first to take the lead, and immediately threw a piece of mud at her.

Thus the pro-people activity of the Adjutant Commander of the Navy turned into a vigorous and popular exorcism, because of the promotion of Protestantism, the citizens and farmers of Aronael had not had fun burning witches for a long time! They spread ten, ten, hundred, and within a few people, they changed the exorcism to witch fighting......

"Yo, it looks like we don't need to do anything." The chief of staff of the short man, who arrived at the scene one step earlier, said that the deputy commander of the navy had a good ability to respond to the situation on the spot, and thought of going with him, considering that it was the person concerned, he had to give another cool-headed evaluation.

"Is he really the Count's murderer?" Jenny behind him asked.

"What's the matter, for the king, there are no real enemies and real friends in this world, just look at it...... interests, the emperor has no six relatives. The chief of staff replied that he knew what Adair meant to the queen, and that Adair was not captured but defected on his own initiative, so he must not be blamed for his past, "There are still few fathers and sons who draw knives and do things?" ”

"I just think...... 陛xià is not that kind of person. ”

"Oh, I didn't say that, but it doesn't hurt to be careful." The chief of staff said to his sister, "Don't get too close to the people in the navy, we are His Majesty's people, remember." ”

"Of course we're His Majesty's people." Jenny replied, "Those masters of the Navy are not from the same world as us. ”

"That's right, you understand it this way, the group of people in the church who don't know one, two, three, or four by playing tricks on their mouths are not on the same path as us, we just need to remember to be loyal to Your Majesty."

"So you keep arguing with the archbishop, Francis, and the others, to show that?"

"Of course, do you think I'm okay to quarrel with them?" The chief of staff snorted, "If we are good enough to wear a pair of pants with them, your majesty will have to find a way to make us quarrel if we don't sleep in the middle of the night...... although ...... When he has nothing to do, arguing with a group of tall and long-legged guys that he has never been used to is indeed a good way to entertain boredom.

The others were unaware of the discussion between the brothers and sisters of the Chief of Staff, and they were all enthusiastically "beating witches", and the noisy sound of beating witches muffled the quiet discussion here, until the guards sent by Her Majesty the Queen took the queen away under the pretext of "not burning witches without permission...... Her stepmother.

The interrogation of Lady Helena was rapid, and after an hour the "verdict on the old woman who had broken the holy feast and dishonored the icon in public" had been delivered to Her Majesty's desk, and the preliminary opinion was to first cut out her blasphemous tongue, gouge out her eyes, and then hang her body.

Her Majesty the Queen graciously crossed out the first two items.

If the accuser had been her own mother, she might have considered it, and now her stepmother...... And it was a stepmother who had twice sent killers to kill her children...... Although this little Louis was also sent through the crossing, there is no reason for people to kill casually...... Do these people not save for the New Year?

"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into." After the circle, Her Majesty the Queen thought about it and added another stroke, "The ashes are thrown into running water." (To be continued......)
