Sir Elisha was so discouraged by Igger's trick of "asking the Minister of Justice to decide" that he was reluctant but helpless, and left as soon as the trial was over. Egger, on the other hand, waited until Slint was taken away and Lan Li left, and then walked out of the throne hall with the Night's Watch employees who were traveling with him, and walked slowly towards the gate of the Red Keep under the gaze of the guards along the way. From time to time along the way, nobles who had also walked out of the throne hall approached and talked, either expressing "condolences" for the danger of his assassination, or applauding his speeches.

The death penalty has not yet been settled - the procedure still needs to go through the highest people...... No, the confirmation and nod of the hand of the king. The most likely variable is that Ed's reaction to hearing the news that he "publicly refused to put Slint in black" is that the Hand of the King has more power to interpret the law than the Minister of Justice, if Ed thinks he is overstepping his authority...... There could be a turnaround for Najanos Slint's fate.

But that's only theoretical, you know...... Slint appears to have been forced to die, Egger West, the Night's Watch Chief Logistics Officer, but it was the King's own brother, Ranley Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End, who gave the death sentence. Could Eddard be a former garrison commander with no background, no connection to the Starks, and a bunch of stupid things - to slap the King's brother in the face and dismiss the public verdict of the Duke of Storm's End?

No, even if Ed finally ruled that the Night's Watch recruiter was not eligible to "refuse to join", he would have informed himself of the decision after Slint was executed, and probably even privately.

This feeling of putting people to death without a sword is unexpectedly good.

"Master, you were so handsome just now! Especially when you said, 'If you become a ghost and come to me, I'll kill you again!'" The child really doesn't hold grudges, turning his face faster than turning a book, Arya, who was still angry half a day ago, stuck up again in a blink of an eye, grabbed his arm and rubbed him excitedly: "I'm so obsessed with you!"

The corners of Egg's mouth curled: "Stop, no matter how much you make a fool of yourself, I won't allow you to sneak out to find me." ”

"Oh, you're so annoying, master!" Arya was seen through a little caution, and suddenly angrily hammered him in the chest with a small fist, annoyed and helpless: "People listen to you, can't you run around?" ”

"Well, that's my good apprentice. ”

......

Everyone talked and laughed, and gradually walked out of the Red Keep, until Arya was stopped by the guards because she was not allowed to leave the Red Keep, and Geros, the captain of the security team of the Logistics Department, who had been following behind, spoke: "My lord, I have a request, I hope to be granted. ”

Egger was in the right mood and nodded: "Say it." ”

"On the day of Slint's execution, I would like to ask the adults to give the security department a day off and stop training for a day, and I will bring them to the city to watch the execution. A while ago, the garrison came to the door in a row to ask for trouble, and under the strict orders of Lord Tyrion, we did not have any body language conflicts with the comers, and the hundred and ten men were bullied like grandsons by a few golden robes, especially that day at the Linhe Gate...... Many of the brothers were suffocated and needed to vent. ”

"Yes, but remember to change into civilian clothes, don't wear black, and don't make noise or trouble at the execution ground. Iger thought for a moment and agreed. What he wants to train is an army, and the first time he encounters someone who comes to the door to find fault but forces them to be a turtle with a shrunken head, although it is out of helplessness, but after all, the spirit of the security team is ...... In other words, the cultivation of the military soul is not good, and even his prestige among the soldiers has plummeted. Now that the fruits of patience have borne fruit, it is time to enjoy the fruits of victory: "And most importantly, let the brethren of the security team remember that Genos Slint was executed for violating the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, not for 'offending the inheritance of the Night's Watch,' and that Prime Minister Lord Ed is not our or anyone's support...... No matter how the rumors and rumors outside spread, our own people must speak in a unified voice. Don't brag about it, so as not to cause trouble for yourself, the Prime Minister has already talked to me...... Take good care of your brethren, and those who violate them will be punished severely. ”

"Yes, my lord!" As soon as these words came out, the security captain not only did not feel that his boss was cowardly, but felt more and more that Egger was powerful and low-key and cautious, and he was suddenly in awe.

When they first met half a month ago, Geros didn't care about Egger, the so-called "big boss", and only thought that it was a night watchman that Tyrion had just found to name and sign...... But with the many things he has heard and witnessed in the past few days, the skill, courage, eloquence, means and thoughtfulness that Iger has shown are really much higher than his own.

Either way, Geros was now convinced of Egger, and was completely saddled with his horse's head.

Igruo knew that his image in the eyes of his subordinates had risen to an astonishing level, and he was afraid that he would secretly smile bitterly: he was probably the result of Jaqun and Ser Bywatt the Iron Hand, and that Slint had finally come to this end because of the combined strength of the Night's Watch industry, Tyrion's methods, and the death of his opponents. In this whole struggle, if there is any contribution he makes, it is that he was the first to appear and put up the military flag, and in the chaotic night, he did not make a faint move, stabilized his position and saved his life.

If he dies and Tyrion is arrested, the Night's Watch industry is in chaos, and he is afraid that it will be carved up by investors in a matter of minutes, and it will become history...... The investigation and trial of Slint could not have been so smooth.

The battle was won by the power of Tyrion's capital, but it was Egg who showed up on the front lines — whether it was the initial real-name report or the refusal to put Slint in black at the trial. With Tyrion's absence and Egger's public speech in court today, intentionally or unintentionally, all the credit for this victory was taken advantage of by himself as the leader of the power.

Egg felt deserved, but he also knew that he was the only one who was best suited to receive the glory of King's Landing right now. Not only do you have to take the credit, but you also have to work hard to make yourself worthy of the trust and high esteem of others.

......

The trial was quick, but it still took a lot of time to get out of the Red Castle, and it was not early when they came out of the Red Fort, and the group should go back to the outside of the city, and the people should go back to the mansion. Iger didn't go to the office again, but went straight to the end of dinner...... Returned to "home".

After taking a good shower in his room and changing into clean clothes, he sat down at his desk for the first time in a long time, and looked at the work report sent from below.

The Night's Watch industry has now passed the entrepreneurial stage and is on the right track, and the specific management of Iger is no longer in his hands but has been delegated to Nina, and this girl is like a "vice president", only holding the most important plans and accounts in the business, and assigning simple and inconsequential tasks to the subordinates she has selected, cultivated, and trusted.

Clever people like Tyrion are in the minority, after all, but with the attraction of capital, the Night's Watch industry has unwittingly begun to become rich in talent—of course, by the standards of this world. These people are less creative but more than enough to keep their jobs, and Iger can trust them to be the bosses of the business, rather than having to do everything himself.

Still, he enjoyed the feeling of "knowing the current state of the industry" – the team to assist in the opening of the paper printing mills in Riverbend and Dorne had already begun, and the plans for the egg basket had been quietly launched: the production of new creamy lipsticks and soap medicates had begun, and the carving and sale of obsidian as an evil ward had been prepared well in advance before the first ore had arrived from Dragonstone. Everything is going so smoothly, if you can kill Littlefinger sooner and prevent the Seven Kingdoms from causing chaos......

Thinking of this, Iger sighed regretfully, and then his "vice president" knocked on the door.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

"No, come in. Iger replied with a clean expression, then looked up and smiled at the girl who pushed the door in, and found that she had taken off her black clothes and changed into loose home clothes.

"Lord Egger, there are some things that I can't report to you during the day, but I think it's important to let you know as soon as possible so that I can prepare for countermeasures. Nina stepped into the room, walked to the table, and suddenly remembered something else: "By the way, you have been locked up in the Red Fort for these days, and the wound has not been medicated, can I help you apply it now?"

"Hmm...... Yes. Since the wound was healing well, Iger didn't even think about it, but it didn't hurt to apply it, after all, this medicine came from a regular doctor, not a home remedies. He loosened his clothes to reveal the wound on his shoulder: "Let's talk as you go." ”

Nina quickly took the medicine jar from the shelf next to the table, dipped a little of it with her finger, and carefully applied it to both sides of the stitched wound: "During the time you were taken away by the Prime Minister's men, Sir Alyssa often went to the office to find out about the situation of the Night's Watch industry, and I will push it to you whatever you ask, as you say. He sensed that I was playing dumb, and showed me a document signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch...... He said that the Night's Watch had sent him to take over the work, and asked me to cooperate with him. ”

Iger chuckled in his heart, and his anger suddenly froze: What does this mean? A document signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, didn't you show it to my Chief Logistics Officer earlier, but chose to show it to the management of the Night's Watch property when he was in prison?!

He held back his emotions and remained silent: "What is on the document, do you remember?"

"I was taken aback at first, but I took a closer look at the certificate that I was going to come and read it word for word, and it was clearly written that Sir Alyssa had been transferred to the Night's Watch logistics department and that she would stay in King's Landing to work with you...... There is no word for succession or cooperation at all......"
