147. The decisive battle
"It is the will of the Lord that Your Majesty and all the magistrates of the county should be gathered here, and the servant of the Lord Conny hereby swears that everything that is said later is true, and that if there is any falsehood, it shall be subject to the most cruel hellfire."
The priest of Conny, who had been captured and bribed by Orlan, reappeared at this moment, his face pale and he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
However, this is a deliberate makeup, ready to play a role later, emphasizing that he has suffered a lot.
"Gurle" saw Conny appear, and the princess was anxious to find her brother.
"Your Majesty, rest easy, when this matter is dealt with, the truth will be revealed."
"What the truth"
"The truth about the murder of the Kingdom priests by the wicked men."
Conny then took out the letter he had hidden and respectfully handed it to the king.
Ella's knowledge and culture alone were not much better than those of the other illiterate county governors, so the letter was taken by Ella's advisor Binr and read aloud.
"According to the plan, I have invaded the county of Yerey and Durham, and I will do my best to cause turmoil in the territory, you let the king send troops, let the county governors and the king attack each other, you secretly expand your strength, and when the time is ripe, you can overthrow Ella, and then canonize me as an earl......"
A letter from the bull-necked "Smon" to the "archbishop" and "William" was read out in its entirety by Binr.
"Fart!" William, the representative of the nobles outside the seat of the eight county governors, scolded angrily.
Hai'an's fists clenched, and his heart was clouded with unease.
"A nobleman should be elegant, William, and you should know who you are talking to." Orlan was unrelenting.
"Oran, this letter is so ridiculous that the stew I ate yesterday had to be laughed and vomited!
A Viking can write such a letter, and the bishop of the kingdom and the king's son-in-law go and conspire with the Vikings to plot something."
After speaking, William looked at Ella, "Nobles must not be wronged, priests must not be defiled by foul language, please uphold justice for me." ”
Ella waved William to calm down, and then turned to Orlan, "This is an accusation that shakes the kingdom, you must present stronger evidence." ”
Orlan sat back calmly, and Conny received his gaze and continued to accuse.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is more than one letter, and the Bishop, as Sir William's messenger, has sent it to Smun many times, and on one occasion I have inadvertently found and intercepted it.
Later, Sir William wanted to stop working with the Vikings, but the Vikings refused, so they hatched a vicious plan.
He sent a delegation of emissaries to meet Shi Meng, pretending to help convert and canonize the Vikings, and secretly asked the Vikings to help with it.
The reason why I became a representative of the clergy is because I routinely exhort bishops to vice,
And Lord Cyrus was the most relied on of His Majesty and would cause trouble to Sir William, so he was also elected by him to be one of the members of the mission.
After the canonization ended, Sir William and the Vikings secretly attacked us, and then blamed it on to Smon.
After I survived, with the help of His Excellency Oran, I secretly returned to the royal court, and succeeded in collecting this evidence and learning about the whole evil deed. ”
"Wait!" William was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to cut Conny.
"Conny, why did I do such a thing?"
"Because you said Your Majesty, 'My daughter is also a daughter, I am a great traitor, and I will fall into hell, how can I be a king'! You still want to let His Royal Highness inherit the throne and rule with his husband and wife, if the kingdom is not in turmoil, you will not have the slightest chance."
Ella's face turned cold when she heard this.
"No, Your Majesty!" William couldn't hold back any longer, and viciously drew his sword and aimed it at Conny.
If the mouth is not clear, the sword swing is the most effective.
But someone was faster than him, and a shadow turned and rushed into the room, and with a sword swept away William's sword.
It's Marcus.
Orlan confessed that he wanted to keep Conny safe today.
Conny, who was frightened by this, because he had also calculated this change before, immediately shouted after calming down a little, "Everyone, William wants to kill him!"
Then Conny turned around and compared his face to the wound on his face to an ear that had been cut off by the Vikings.
"Atrocities, shameless atrocities, my ears were cut off by the Vikings in order to 'protect the classics', and I swear no compromise with the Vikings!
William conspired with the bishop to collude with the Vikings and kill the disobedient clergy in order to recover their fields.
At that time, William was in charge of receiving the envoys at the forward fortress, knights of the royal court, have you not forgotten, Alex, you are also there. ”
Conny asked a few people, and those who were asked nodded in agreement.
"William the Villain wants to cause turmoil in the kingdom and wait for the opportunity to overthrow the king, and Northumbria is almost destroyed!"
The long-established clergy were trained to weep and praise the Lord at the feast, before the cross and the believers.
Conny's acting skills are better than Oran's.
I didn't feel uncomfortable, I didn't want to cry, but the tears flowed.
Oran appreciates this acting skill, if you don't look at the face, the stage of the juggler, Conny can play the leading role.
Then Orlan moved his finger again, and a young priest whom Conny had commanded stood up, put his head on the kappa, and pointed at William, "Sir William often meets with the bishop, and I have read the bishop's letter to the Vikings, and I can read it now......"
This young man used to be an assistant to the archbishop, and in the past few days, he was brought out of the royal court by Conny, and what he said deepened the evidence a little.
"No, this man has broken the law before and has been expelled!" At this time, the middle-aged priest who presided over the meeting spoke out to help William.
But Conny and Oran had already arranged various responses, and the young man sent out immediately responded, "His Excellency the Bishop wanted to assault a female believer, and after I found out, he held a grudge, so he expelled me, and I can find out the poor lord's family......"
Accusations are made one after another, and the scene is thrown into chaos.
Sometimes if you want to "force people to die", you don't need too accurate evidence, as long as you dare to lie and the strength is on your side, you can dominate the wind direction and win the game.
Then Orlan shouted, and another newcomer came - it was Simon's wife, Freya.
Empty-handed, unarmed, she bowed her head to all the nobles and saluted in unison
She has lost her pride as a shield maiden, only the weakness of submission.
Because the lives of her husband and son are in the hands of the "white-clothed demon lord" in front of you.
"This is Shi Meng's wife, the warriors who participated in the battle of extermination, there should be many people who have seen it, now, tell everyone, Freya, if your husband's conspirator is present"
Freya pointed at William, and began to weep,
"I went to Sir William and begged him to spare Simon, but he was not only unwilling, but he sent someone to kill me, and I was lucky enough to escape, so that I had this opportunity to tell the 'righteous' Lord Oran about it."
"Poor woman, you don't need to cry, justice is too late, but it will come, right now."
"William, this kind of evil behavior, the people who believe in the Lord can do it, you are simply a son of the devil!"
Orlan said a few words, got up and glared at William and said again, "You must present rebuttal evidence, otherwise from this moment on, you will not be able to exercise any noble rights." ”
The princess glanced at John of Carlisle and told him to get up immediately.
"Your Excellency Oran, all this is too far-fetched, and it is all one-sided accusations."
"There is only one truth, William is not a minister, he is ambitious, I still have evidence in my hand that he smuggled and embezzled royal property, do you want to see it, but if the evidence is still true, how do you plan to respond?"
How could there be such a thing in Orlan!
Looking at her husband on the side, Hai Anxin was cold from head to toe......
John was momentarily speechless, "What do I need to respond to?"
"Today, whoever wants to violate justice and shield William, Benber slaughtered him with his own hands!"
The immortal sword brush was pulled out with a bang!
The sword light was shining silvery.
You draw your sword, I draw it, and all the armed guards present confront each other.
The other county magistrates could no longer sit down.
If you want to be safe, like Tyrrell or Gliese, you are, "Speak slowly." ”
Confident and forceful, such as Katana, he got up angrily and said, "If you want to fight, I'll be your opponent." ”
And John, who is closest to Orlan, doesn't think he can defeat Orlan's little white face.
But things are getting more and more troublesome, and there is no idea.
And Orlan feels that his acting skills are not a little worse, his momentum can't overwhelm the public, he still needs to be honed, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to Katana.
After all, there is still a bunch of "evidence of justice" that is useless.
As soon as he had finished speaking, Kunsang walked into the room, took out a copy of the "inventory of belongings" that William had embezzled, and handed it to John.
John understood that the list, even if it was forged, would be difficult to see for a while, and that Orlan estimated that there was more "evidence".
Today, William is afraid to die!
"I don't accept it, I haven't done it!" William shouted.
Sweat dripped down his forehead and his whole body trembled. He did a lot of bad things, but Orlan couldn't have known about it.
But when King Ella said, "Take William down first." ”
William was completely convinced that it was the king who wanted to get rid of himself, otherwise how could these false evidence appear so easily
The killing of the priests was all agreed to by the king, and Cyrus was also sent by the king.
At this moment, he was really scared, the brutal Ella plus the ruthless Orlan!
It's not that no one has assassinated Ella, but after the defeat, the end is miserable.
William had seen the king's tricks, and Ella had a kind of poisoning, throwing prisoners into deep barrels full of poisonous snakes, smearing something that attracted the smell of snakes, causing a group of snakes to entangle the prisoners, and some of them would even burrow into the prisoners' bodies!
Several county magistrates looked at Hai'an at the same time, and the princess had no idea for a while, but Ella said that she would bring it down first, she still had the most votes, and the helpers from the surrounding towns would fight immediately, If the king conspired with Orlan, he couldn't make trouble now.
But when William saw that the soldier who came up to arrest him was Orlan's man, he was already panicking.
If you are taken away by the Orlan soldiers, you can disfigure and maim yourself with a little means.
Fear made William lose his judgment and shouted, "The archbishop is still alive and can come out to testify, and besides, Orlan plotted to kill Earl, he was the one who colluded with the Vikings, not me, and Earl's daughter Sally is also in Danse, she can come out to testify." ”
When Marcus heard this, his heart tightened, and he felt that he had done something stupid last time, and his hand holding the sword shook a little.
"Miss Sally and Knight Claydon have gone to heaven, how can they be resurrected," Orlan said, with a look of remembrance, and took out the cross and recited two holy words.
"I'm going to crush your plot, she's not dead!"
The White Eagle soldier who stepped forward was ordered by Orlan to stop, and William seemed to grasp the straw and shouted "Sally".
"The evil hidden in the dark corners has emerged under the light and justice, great, get out."
After Oran finished speaking, the scene changed again, and in the end, Katana had no choice but to let Sari, who was disguised and put on makeup, withdraw her burqa and stand up in advance in advance.
Looking at Sally, who had cut off her hair and had a dry face, Orlan approached to take a closer look.
With so many pairs of eyes present, Sally didn't back down, just stood and glared at Orlan back.
When the two are less than a meter apart.
Oran was very sincere, smiling, and in a voice that only two people could hear, he whispered, "My little Sari, you were so lucky that I didn't burn you last time, I decided to burn it again to see your luck." ”
