Chapter 226: Repeating the Old Trick

I can't draw conclusions from observation, but Iger has a mouth and a brain, he can ask, and then judge for himself.

"Why did Sir Rodric kill Bolton's bastard, and let this stinky fellow live?"

The leader of the soldiers in the North replied, "Sir Rodric hopes that this man will confess to the Earl of Bolton in person when he returns to the North, so that the House of Bolton will automatically relinquish their claim to the Horwood family's domain." ”

I see, Egg nodded, "Then why did you release him to the Night's Watch in the end?"

"Uh...... Two days ago, the Earl of Bolton had written back to Winterfell from the south, announcing that he had severed all ties with his illegitimate son. Rams Snow did nothing to represent the Boltons, and he relinquished his claims to Horwood and its dependent territories. ”

Another soldier interjected: "I have heard the contents of the letter from others, and I still recite it - 'The blood of bastards is always the source of trouble, and this Mr. Rams is cunning, greedy, and cruel by nature.'" I declare that I have disowned him. If he survives, my wife and my rightful heir will never be at peace. ”

"So decisive, this Luce Burton is such a ruthless character. Yamm exclaimed: "They are both from the North, and different people have completely different education and attitudes towards their illegitimate children." ”

This was obviously a comparison with Jon Snow, Eddard Stark's illegitimate son, and everyone present could hear the subtext at once, and under the resonance, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Egger was even more suspicious in his heart, and looked at the stinky guy: "This guy stinks so much, let him join the night watch, I'm afraid I don't want to enter Castle Black again in the future." ”

"Adults can't stand the smell, I can go wash it right away. The stinky guy replied obediently.

The stench on the stinky guy's body can't be washed away, and Egger continues to probe: "But the Night's Watch Legion is already so messy, what's the use of me accepting a scum like you again?"

"My lord, all those bad things were ordered to do by Lord Bolton's bastard! I can read and write, I can do anything, and the Night's Watch will need me!"

How could a real stinky guy "be able to read and write"? After a few sentences, Egger was almost certain that the person in front of him was Rams Snow - Little Skin.

Another villain, a guy who is even more disgusting than Genos Slint, himself let the Night's Watch legion capture the ghouls alive, proving the existence of human predators to the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and the response of these guys to themselves is: the battle that should be fought is still fought, but at the same time "generously" all the scum is given to the Night's Watch legion?

A familiar anger flooded, and Egger suppressed the sudden mood swings. His vast plans had only just begun, and with the safety of the North, the Seven Kingdoms, and the future of his followers and all the employees of the Night's Watch industry on his shoulders, he didn't want or have the energy to engage in a pointless battle of wits with the villains and expose himself to danger.

"If I refuse this person to join the Night's Watch, Lord of Winterfell or Ser Rodric...... What will be done with this person?"

The gray-robed soldier shrugged, "I'm not from Winterfell, and I don't know much about Master Bran and Ser Rodric, so I guess...... Hang yourself or behead. ”

"My lord?" said the stinky man, frightened, "I can do anything, and I promise to be loyal to the Night's Watch. ”

"Forget it. Iger shook his head, and it was the safest option to send the man back to Winterfell for the Starks to do it, but once the person was out of his hands, there were variables: Commander Mormont might veto his orders and take him back to Castle Black, the guy might get away halfway, etc...... He didn't want to take any more risks. "It's been a few days to get to Winterfell, wasting time going back and forth, finding a place to hang this guy. ”

"Why, my lord, I didn't do anything, my lord!" the stinky guy didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, and he was startled and screamed.

"Execute it immediately. ”

"Spare me, my lord, I really didn't do those bad things!" The prisoner broke away from the hands of the two soldiers and rushed towards Egg, not knowing whether to attack him or hold his leg and beg for mercy, but before he could run two steps, he was swept down by a northern soldier with a spear, fell a dog gnawing mud, and got up and screamed, but was hit in the face by the spear shaft, and most of his teeth were shattered, and the flesh and blood below his nose were blurred, and what he said could no longer be heard.

Although they didn't understand why Egger suddenly had murderous intent, the soldiers actually didn't want to escort this stinky guy anymore: "But where is there a place to hang here?"

"No, then go outside the wall and find a tree, or erect a piece of wood, and you can do it yourself, no need to ask. ”

Egg wasn't 100% sure that the man in front of him was a little skinner, and there was no evidence that he would still do bad things or threaten himself after joining the Night's Watch...... But he also figured it out: what about killing the wrong villain in order to be responsible for his own cause, his followers and friends?

......

"My lord, even if you don't like this person, you can't kill him directly. Seeing the stinky guy screaming and being dragged away by several northern soldiers, the look of doubt on Yam's face could not be concealed at all, he had never known that Egg had such a ruthless side: "In case Castle Black or Winterfell are held accountable......"

Mormont will certainly be upset, and may have interviewed himself and told him that he must not refuse anyone to join again...... Winterfell will probably feel offended, too, but no matter what happens, they can only let Egg not be allowed to kill the next time, and they can't save Genos and Rams.

He will never be dealt with in any substance: it is impossible for Elder Bear to cut off his arm at this critical juncture, and Winterfell is ...... Sir Rodric may complain about himself, but with his own love for saving Bran and Arya, the Starks will never embarrass themselves for this.

As for the revenge of Ruce Burton...... He just ordered the execution of the "stinky guy" who brought his illegitimate son to death, why should he take revenge on himself?

"If no one asks, just assume that this guy doesn't exist, and if someone asks, just push it all on me. Iger said disapprehantly, "Maybe I should have Mormont send a statement that the Night's Watch will no longer accept vicious criminals?

It took dozens of minutes to inspect the empty but tall and sturdy warehouses ready to meet the goods, and the small Houguan Town was finished. When Egger came to the gate again, the "stinky guy" had been hung on the side trunk of a sturdy oak tree outside the town gate, looking at the corpse swaying in the wind, Egger's heart was suddenly touched: this is really a cruel, cold and real world, there is no so-called important role, protagonist and supporting role, everyone is just mortal.

Stronger than the Magic Mountain, there are so many scenes in the original plot, in this world he didn't even see him once, and was taken off by Tywin and given to Dorne to ask the other party to retreat, and the cunning and evil like a small skin, bad luck fell into the hands of Egg, who knew him...... Surrounded by his own soldiers on Egger's own turf, a word can bring his soul back to the world.

What I am doing at the moment is probably called killing decisively? Have all the heroes in history who have received this evaluation have also had the experience and consideration of almost capsizing in the gutter like themselves?

If you don't always maintain your vigilance and cruelty to the enemy, if you fall into the hands of your opponent or hate you one day, I'm afraid it won't be much better than the corpse in front of you.

***

"You don't have to hang here all the time, take it down tomorrow and find a place to bury it...... No, burned. Iger retracted his thoughts and looked back at Yam, "Besides, I have some other tasks for you. Houguan Town should have its own ability to communicate with the outside world, and add a raven house to the top of the tower on the island, and I will ask Mormont to ask someone to raise a letter crow. In addition, I don't have time to go to the south and talk to the princes of the north about grain procurement one by one, so after you arrange the affairs here, you go south and visit each family. Get it right – we're buying, not asking them to donate. I know it's autumn when the North traditionally needs to start stockpiling food, but I ask them to keep the Night's Watch protecting the North, and try not to raise the price too much. ”

"Understood, are there any other commands?"

"Oh, by the way, bring a hundred golden dragons with you, and every time you go to a place, you will want to exchange change - silver deer, bronze star, copper points, everything, the more bits and pieces, the better, I want every clan to learn to use money, just a golden dragon is not enough. Iger thought for a moment, and there was nothing else to explain, "I really don't have anyone to use here, you have worked hard." Robb sent me the soldiers, I will take fifty, and you can use the rest, pay attention to safety. ”
