Cleon knelt on the ground and picked up the bleeding bachelor with a sad expression.

Two of his soldiers tried to comfort him.

There were many onlookers, and the servant of the bachelor knelt on the ground and wept.

"Our gods must not have seen our voices. Cleon looked up at the sky sadly, "I'm just chatting with the bachelor, the balcony is so wide, we just leaned on the balcony to drink tea and talk, and such a tragedy happened." ”

No one doubted Cleon. Everyone trusts him, and it is he who leads everyone to conquer the pyramid of those heinous great good lords, and he leads everyone to take revenge on many great evil people, although those people proclaim themselves great good lords.

Cleon's credibility and character are well believed.

Finally, Cleon picked up the body of the Bachelor, and a carriage came, and Cleon and the soldiers carried the body of the Bachelor into the carriage, and the carriage came to the Pyramid of Steps, where the Bachelor was the Archon appointed by Her Majesty, and he had the right to receive the condolences of the people in the Great Pyramid and receive a dignified funeral.

*

The next day, Cleon came to the pastor's house.

The priest was wearing a robe with blue lips and was writing something in the study, and Cleon pushed the door open, this time still with two soldiers.

"Lord Cleon, what's the matter?"

"Yes. Cleon said, "Pastor, may I sit down?"

"Please!"

"There is currently one less of the three consuls, and you see, can I fill the vacant position of the Bachelor. ”

"You can think about it!" said the priest.

"Thank you, pastor. Cleon pressed his hands to his heart, "Lord Reverend, I have no selfish intentions, I just want to do something for the people of Astapor. ”

"I don't have any problems, my lordship in Astapor is very high, and being able to participate in the affairs of the consuls can also reduce the burden on us, and we can also have one more person to contribute to many difficult problems, which is a good thing. ”

"I just want to do more for the people. ”

"But I can't make a decision alone, Lord Cleon, you still need to go to the doctor's, and if he agrees, I think you'll be able to come to the Great Pyramid tomorrow. There's been a lot going on lately, and we're short of people to deal with the tricky stuff. ”

"Is it about the freedmen beating and killing the good lords of the past?"

"Yes, this situation has been getting worse lately, and perhaps we need to apply for the help of the Unsullied Legion. ”

"If necessary, of course. Cleon said.

As he left, Cleon kissed the back of the priest's hand. When he left, the priest took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He saw Cleon's killing intent and instantly understood the cause of the Bachelor's death. The doctor examines the Bachelor's injuries in the pyramid tonight, and he can deduce the cause of the Bachelor's death from the Bachelor's injuries, and both the priest and the doctor suspect that the Bachelor was pushed off the balcony by Cleon and fell to his death.

In the recent cases of freedmen attacking former good lords, the alleged violents were related to Cleon in one way or another, and whenever these people were tried, some of Cleon's soldiers were also mixed in with the protesting crowd, which made the priests, doctors, and scholars feel Cleon's malice.

As a result, yesterday, the bachelor fell from the balcony of his house and died, and Cleon and the bachelor were chatting on the balcony.

The priest changed into a priest's robe, closed the doors and windows of the pyramid, returned to his bedroom, opened the secret door, entered the basement, burrowed into a tunnel, and disappeared.

Soon the priest appeared in the alley two streets away, coming out of an abandoned hut. The priest pulled up his hood and walked towards Pride Square.

Pride Square is home to the Unsullied Legion. Beyond control, Calleon had the city garrison in his hands, the only armed force in the area, and the priest and the doctor, though consuls, were not protected by a single guard.

The Priest needs the protection of the Unsullied, an Archon appointed by Her Majesty, the Unsullied is Her Majesty's army and the ultimate force that ultimately defends the city.

The priest turned the corner, and in the darkness, in the shadow of a large pagoda, a chilling voice came from the pastor: "Pastor, where are you going?"

It was Cleon's voice.

The priest stammered, "Lord Cleon, I'm going to the Unsullied Legion, the Grey Bug Commander wants me to go." ”

"Oh, what does he want you to do?"

"There are warriors who need guidance in prayer. ”

"Oh, I see, please!" Cleon stepped out of the way.

The priest walked past Cleon's side: "Lord Cleon, you have worked hard every day patrolling the city and keeping us safe. Cleon did not answer the priest's words, he drew his knife and stabbed the priest in the waist. The priest reached out and grabbed Cleon's shoulder: "Cleon, you will be burned to ashes by Her Majesty's dragon Yan, and you will not be able to find peace after death, and your soul will be devoured by demons, and finally vanished." ”

"Your soul has been devoured, Priest, why would you have punished us by helping the Good Lord. ”

“...... There is no good lord left in the city...... Everybody is free now......"

"Really? we don't think so!" Cleon drew his knife, and stabbed the pastor in the neck a second time, and with a stab in the pastor's neck, he let go of his hand, and the sharp knife was stuck in the pastor's neck.

The priest staggered, his face full of horror, and fell!

*

The next day, the priest's body was also placed in the Great Pyramid, and he was to be given a very dignified burial with the Bachelor. Cleon orders the entire city to arrest the murderer. So there was one of the three consuls of Astapor: the doctor! On the same day, Cleon took the position of consul in the petition of hundreds of people.

An angry-faced man came in to petition, and Cleon sat in a high chair flanked by his soldiers. The doctor sat next to him, in a white robe, with a grim face.

"Freedman, what's your name?" Cleon began his first engagement.

"My name, my name is Amos Heber. ”

"Amos Heber, you were a good lord before. ”

"My lord, I am now a freedman, and Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons, is Her Majesty. ”

"I didn't ask you now, I asked you about the past, please answer truthfully. Cleon accentuated.

"My lord, I used to be a little good lord, I was in business, everything was a legal business, I got rich by my own hard work, I never bought or sold a slave, nor did I abuse a slave. ”

"If you haven't bought or sold a slave, you haven't used a slave in your family?"

"Slaves, my lord. I am a slave hired by other good masters. ”

"Well, if you have used slaves, you have bought and sold slaves. Amos Heber, you are a liar!"

"My lord, I have not broken any of the laws of the Astapol in the past, and now I am a member of the Queen's people, and I have not broken any of the laws that the Queen has made. ”

"You are sinning when you buy and sell slaves. Your hands are stained with the blood of slaves, so you have to get down on your knees. ”

The doctor said, "Archon Cleon, no freeman has to kneel before his superiors, this is the law issued by Her Majesty. ”

"You're right, doctor. But Amos Heber was not a legitimate subject of Her Majesty. Amos Heber, I give you a chance, do you kneel yourself, or do I ask you to kneel. ”

"I will never kneel, there is no such provision in Her Majesty's laws. I did not kneel when I met Her Majesty, and Her Majesty did not want us to kneel. ”

"But not in front of me. You can deceive our Majesty, but you can't deceive me. Come, let Amos Heber kneel. ”

With two thuds, two scabbards slashed at the crook of Amos' knees, and Amos Heber knelt down, but he quickly got back to his feet.

"Call me!" Cleon ordered.

Several soldiers rushed up and knocked Amos Heber to the ground, punching and kicking him until he fainted. In an uproar, a bucket of ice water was splashed on Amos Heber's face, and Amos Heber woke up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood: "Cleon, you will not die well, Her Majesty will definitely break you into pieces." ”

Cleon smiled: "Amos Heber, you came to petition today, what is the matter?"

"My Haiyan shop, clothing store, and rice shop were robbed by a gang of free people, and I came to report the crime. Amos Heber said weakly.

"Oh, who robbed you? And where is the person you accuse?"

"My lord, I won't tell you. Amos Heber said. He crawled out of the gate, and the ground was stained with red blood and water.

"Do you have sons and daughters at home?"

Amos Heber stopped, and his body began to tremble: "My lord, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, the Astapor will restore the arena, your son will be trained by us to be a gladiator, and your daughter will be trained by us to be a **. ”

The doctor was shocked: "Lord Cleon, by all means. ”

Cleon squinted at the doctor: "Archon, why not? The arena and the market will bring prosperity to our city, and the audience of the arena will be all of us free people, and I will not allow anyone to turn free people into gladiators or, gladiators are good ** is a profession that only the good lord and those rich merchants are qualified to do." They used to turn us into slaves, into gladiators and **, and now, it's their turn. ”

The soldiers and the freedfolk below cheered.

"Listen to the voices of the people. Cleon smiled and said, "Doctor, public opinion is divine will, and public opinion is also the will of Her Majesty, if the hundreds of thousands of free people in the city are in favor of restoring the arena and the ** market, Her Majesty will agree." ”

"Agreed!" shouted the soldiers and the petitioning freedmen.

As long as it is the good lords, the rich, the big businessmen and their families to be gladiators and **, it is deeply supported by everyone.

The doctor stood up with an ugly face and said, "You have violated Her Majesty's will, Her Majesty has given you freedom and saved you from all your suffering, and this is how you have repaid Her Majesty's kindness, and who of you who called Mass in the first place, stood up and touched your conscience and said, is it right or wrong that you do not obey Her Majesty's laws?"

"We have obeyed Her Majesty's laws, and we have only tried past criminals. When a person sins, he has to pay the price, and it's as simple as that. A tooth for a tooth is the essence of our Astapors. ”

The soldiers glared at the doctor, and the people began to abuse the doctor.

The doctor left angrily and walked down the steps, and as soon as he walked out of the pyramid gate, he was punched in the face by a mob, and the doctor fell to the ground with blood flowing from his face.

"Doctor, are you a doctor or a good master? I remember very well, you are also a good master. You can deceive Her Majesty, but you can't deceive us. You used to be a good lord, and you thought that you could enslave us again by changing your identity?" the mob shouted and kicked the doctor in the head, and the doctor's hands and feet spasmed violently, and he was speechless.

"Pretend, brothers and sisters, kill this good master, we can no longer let the good master rule us. ”

So the people drew their sharp knives and rushed forward, and they cut the doctor into several pieces, cut off their hands and feet, and cut their bodies into pieces of flesh, and stuck them one by one with the tips of their knives or spears.

Cleon was pleased with the common hatred of the doctors, and said, "Come, take Amos Heber and put him in an underground prison." The two soldiers walked out of the procession, took Amos Heber, and put him into a black cell under the pyramid.

"Come, go to the house of Amoz Heber, and take all his sons and train them to be gladiators, and take his daughters and wives and train them to be **. ”

A group of soldiers was overjoyed and flew away.

Since then, Astapol has fallen into the hands of Cleon, and in just ten days, Astapol has restored the arena and the ** market, setting off an atmosphere of terror inside and outside the city, and the freedmen have wantonly hunted down the rich, merchants, good owners, hostile freemen, men as slaves or gladiators, and women are all forced to do **.

Cleon wrote a letter to Daenerys and sent a special letter to Yuankai, explaining to Her Majesty the changes he had initiated and asking Her Majesty to come and guide her. The letter said that if Her Majesty did not like the Arena and the ** Market, Cleon could use it as the Maid's Market and the Warrior Dueling House, and he promised not to disobey Her Majesty's orders.

The letter was long, packed in two large wooden boxes, and Cleon was a clever man, and he collected the signatures of tens of thousands of freedmen, most of whom could not write at all, but they all signed because they were all written in the same word, and they could be copied: Mother.

*

Daenerys fell silent when she received the signed letters from the two large wooden boxes, not knowing what to do.

In his letter, Cleon assured her that all the freedmen in the city supported the restoration of the arena and the market, and that if Her Majesty had to close it, they would close it too. Daenerys convened a meeting in the Shwedagon Tower about the changes that had taken place in Astapor, and Varys, Jorah Mormont, the Green Saint, Argo, Lacarlo, and others had their own theories, and dozens of people met together for a long time, but there was no unanimous conclusion.

Daenerys made the decision to put Yuankai in the hands of Varys and Jorah, and Meereen to the Green Saints and Gratzdan, and she told the courtiers that she was going out for a while, that she would be back soon, and that no one was to look for her while she was gone.
