Chapter 10 Little Demon Monkey
Lynn looked at Bolon's escape and said goodbye,
"What are you running? I don't know how to find me a place to live!"
Helplessly, I found a hotel for temporary stay. The conditions were OK, but the food was very expensive.
He ordered a creamy chestnut soup, crispy hot bread, honey ham, and a grilled swan stuffed with mushrooms and oysters.
This rich dinner may usually only require one silver deer, but now I want three silver deer in Lynn.
Seven silver deer is equal to one silver moon, and thirty silver moons are equal to one golden dragon coin. That is to say, one gold coin can be eaten for such a standard dinner 210 times!
This shows how conscientious the commission for Lynn was to give Lynn a gold coin a month.
After Lynn lived here, he began to truly understand the city and the world.
He strolled among the streets and alleys of King's Landing. Most of the streets with red-topped stone walls and stone slabs were not spacious, but they were bustling with people and noisy.
But there are also dangers everywhere. On the textile street, a corpse was lying in a ditch, naked, and was bitten by a group of wild dogs, but no one cared about it.
Pairs of gold robes were also seen everywhere. They wore armor and swords, patrolling the streets and alleys, especially when they were in flea nests, and they never dared to leave their sword hilts.
The market is full of people wearing rags and selling their property, from tools and utensils to furniture and houses, they sell them if they are willing to bid...
But there are almost no farmers selling meat and vegetables. The few stalls that set up food are asking for prices three to four times higher than before. Lynn also saw a hawker selling grilled rats skewers on meat forks along the street!
"Fresh rat!" the vendor yelled,
“Sell fresh roasted mice!”
The rat is golden and fragrant!
And the hawker emphasized the word fresh! Fresh mice are of course more delicious than rotten mice.
When you arrive at Flour Street, every store has guards standing guard.
The reason why Junlin's food has increased so exaggeratedly is entirely because it is gone!
Since Renly and the High Court formed an alliance, the High Court has blocked the passage of southern food into the king's landslide.
The two largest grain production areas of the empire, one is the Hejian area, which is the Yu Family. Now it has become a pot of porridge, and the grain production has been greatly reduced. The amount of the planting was stolen by the army, so naturally there was no grain sold to Junlin.
Another big granary is the Rose Family in the Hewan, the High Court.
Like the Hejian area, Hewan is a plain area with many rivers, but its geographical location is much better than that of Hejian area, and its area is very large. It is the second only to the northern border among the seven countries.
They have not experienced many wars and are large in population. From the fact that they can easily pull out 80,000 troops to support Lan Li, they can see how amazing their war potential is.
Unfortunately, potential is always potential, and the people of the High Court have never fought any decent war!
...
Just as Lynn observed the world with his own eyes, Bolon was already sweating profusely outside the Tyrion...
After receiving Lynn's "commission", Bolon didn't take it seriously when he first started the investigation.
The matter has not been long since, and it was carried out by the golden robe. It is not easy to investigate this myself.
It turned out that this was indeed very simple, but as the investigation progressed, he became more and more scared.
"This is a big pit!"
When the investigation found that the reason for killing the child was the queen's order, it indirectly proved that the rumors among the king's people were very likely to be correct. The killed children were Robert's illegitimate children!
At this time, Bolon didn't want to check it out.
Because Lin En's fist was too big, he still kept checking it.
Finally, I investigated Tobumott's blacksmith shop, and when I heard him say that Gendley's brother came over, Bolon almost cried.
"This is more than just a pitfall. If it doesn't work, it will kill someone!"
Of course, Bolon is not a fool. Judging from the investigation, Lynn is most likely the escaped blacksmith apprentice Jendeley!
He never dared to hide it anymore, so he quickly reported to Tyrion.
"Who? Who did you say entered the city?"
Tyrion stood up in a hurry!
He stared at Bolon with wide eyes,
When Bolon brought Lynn into the city to find him, entrusted him to investigate the matter, and told Tyrion about the investigation process little by little,
The little devil's ugly face was even more distorted.
"That bitch! Look at what she did? A monster, she personally awakened a monster. Now, how should I comfort him?" Tyrion was so angry that he was breathless.
Just as Cersei hated him, he hated Cersei as well, especially after the accident in Winterfell Bran Stark, he had seen the problem!
The brothers he and his brother James had a great relationship, so he didn't betray them, but this did not mean that he agreed with this behavior!
"Maybe you can't tell Lynn?" Bolon said hesitantly.
"It's useless. This matter cannot be hidden. There are too many people who know it. He just hasn't thought of himself yet, otherwise he wouldn't even ask you!"
Tyrion paced back and forth in the house with two short legs.
"But this may be an opportunity!" He stopped and stared at Bolon with bright eyes.
"Where is he now? I'll go see him."
Where is Lynn now? He is swaying all over the city. Although the situation is not stable, who dares to provoke a giant like him? Wherever he goes, it will be calm.
After visiting for a day, Lynn just returned to the hotel room and saw Tyrion sitting in the room.
"Linn, if you don't come back, I'll go to the street to find you!" Tyrion jumped off the stool and walked over enthusiastically.
Lynn guessed the reason why Tyrion came, shook hands with him, and invited him to sit down.
Tyrion introduced the story of this to Lynn with a little guilty guilt.
"So, the Golden Robe did this because the leader of the premier, who thought that doing so would please the queen and made a decision privately. I have punished him and sent him to the Great Wall."
Tyrion did not say that it was Cersei's order, and this kind of thing could not be said by him. Once it was studied, it would be too ugly.
"That Gendley's illegitimate child is you?"
Lynn nodded, “No matter what I used to be, now my name is Lynn.”
"Okay! Lynn. Do you have any plans now? If you can help me, I promise you that you will definitely give you a good future!" Tyrion sincerely invited him,
"We can work well with illegitimate children and dwarfs! Haha. Can be a good partner, if the conditions are right, I can even suggest to the king to restore your legalization! Let you get your last name back to Baratheon!"
Tyrion drew a big pie to Lynn, hoping to pull him into his own camp. Such a fierce man will definitely play a great role in the war soon!
Lynn's mind is a little confused now, and he just said he wanted to think about it and sent Tyrion away.
After seeing Tyrion away, his mind was a little confused.
I thought it would be a simple task again, to investigate the identity of the bastard's father, and it can be easily completed whether it is a big businessman or a knight or something.
Even a nobleman is not too difficult.
But I didn't expect it to be a king!
He is still a king who unified the continent of Westeros!
The difficulty index of this task has increased sharply!
He is good at fighting and killing people, but this is completely different from governing the country.
It’s not enough to fight a king. The simplest thing is, you always have to let the people have enough food, right? It’s easy to have enough food for one person, but it’s not that easy to let people in the mainland eat enough food!
And there are countless obstacles, nobles, lords, and various forces are in chaos.
Look at the current mainland, the northern border is independent, and there is only one name left in the river. The valley is pretending to be non-existent in the closed doors. It is not necessary to say that Lannister steals the throne. It is also a high probability that the High Court will turn to them after Lanli's failure.
Under such circumstances, Lynn didn’t even have a place to settle down, so he was going to be the king?
He was still an illegitimate son who became king!
Lynn scratched his head a little.
The illegitimate child is a dwarf in Westeros and is dissatisfied and discriminated against by others. He does not even have a normal surname, let alone inheritance rights.
They can only use public surnames, such as the illegitimate sons in the North, all the surname Snow, and all the illegitimate sons in the King, all the surname Weishui. This is obvious discrimination, which is the same as branding the prisoner's face.
If you want to restore your surname, you can only legalize his identity if the king personally orders!
But the king is the arrogant and cruel Joffrey, and the order to kill Robert's illegitimate son is probably given by him. How could he agree to restore his surname?
"By the way! What did that little devil say just now? Can you help me restore my last name?" Lin En's mind cleared.
"Tyrion is now the Prime Minister of the Landing, the King's Hand, and no one can restrain him except the former Parliament,"
"Even though Joffrey is arrogant, she is young after all, and Tyrion even beats him. Maybe there is a way!"
"Anyway, the mission must be completed. If you have the identity of a prince, the process is simpler. If you don't have it..."
"Isn't it just a fight? It's only ten years if you don't have a one-year fight! After fighting the west and the east, it's the same!"
Lynn relaxed,
The next day, Lynn found Tyrion.
"Then, we are now on the same boat!"
Tyrion happily introduced him to the current situation.
"Now the tyranny of internal and external troubles, the biggest problem in the city is the shortage of food, many people have no food, and riots often occur in the streets and alleys!"
"And Stannis was besieging his Fengxi Fort after he had compiled Lanley's cavalry. Fengxi Fort can't last long without any help."
"We must seize the time to clear the chaos in the city and then prepare for the war! Lynn, I need you to protect me for a while. Now many people in this city hope that I will disappear! Including my dear sister!"
Lynn nodded and went out with him. On the way, Tyrion showed him his purpose today,
"We are going to capture dear Grand Secretary Pissier now!"
"Why? Is he not a member of the Imperial Council?" Lynn was a little puzzled. He sent Grand Secretary Shiel to serve five kings, including Aegon V, Jehris II, Eris II, Robert I, and Joffrey I, and three of them served as members of the Imperial Council, with great prestige, especially among the bachelor's.
"Because he is Cersei's man, the old thing has been hiding for so long, but I can easily see through it!"
Tyrion looked proud of his plan, chattering to Lynn how he caught the "rat".
The Imperial Front Meeting now has seven members, and they are now presiding over all major decisions of the country, including the Prime Minister, the Minister of Maritime Affairs, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Finance, the Grand Secretary, the Imperial Guard and the General Intelligence Manager.
The Minister of Maritime Affairs and Minister of Justice were Renly and Stannis respectively, and the positions had long been vacant. The fearless Balistan of the former Royal Guard was expelled.
When Tyrion did not come, they were all responsible for Cersei, after all, Joffrey was only thirteen years old now.
After Tyrion returned with the badge of the King's Hand, he was nominally the main person in charge, but all his decisions would be learned and opposed by Cersei. Tyrion was determined to catch the mouse,
He told the Chancellor of the Exchequer Berrysh to send Princess Messerra, Cersei's daughter, to the valley to marry,
Then tell the intelligence minister Varas to send the princess to the Iron Islands to marry him.
Let me tell the Grand Secretary to send the princess to Donne to marry him.
In this way, not long after, his sister Cersei came over angrily and asked Tyrion why he sent the princess to Dorn to marry him.
This time, who is Cersei's person, understand clearly!
They are now going to pull out this nail to further control King Landing.
When they were passing by the square, they saw a large number of people gathered under a leather tent, and there was a "beggar" standing on the platform.
Lynn can only describe him like this. He was wearing the most humble robes, with a belt of hemp ropes wrapped around his waist, calling himself a prophet, and was giving a loud speech,
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Tyrion was in a good mood and stopped to listen to it with the people.
"Fallen!" The prophet's voice was like a scream.
"This is the warning! This is the whip of the Heavenly Father!" he said, pointing to the red comet in the air.
From this perspective, the Red Fort on the Aegon Hill in the distance was right behind him, and the comet hung high above the tower like a sign, as if it was about to hit the castle!
I really know how to choose venues and time, Lynn thought.
"We have become bloated, dirty, and rotten. The siblings have sex in the king's bed, and the incest descendants dance in the palace to the sound of the deformed little monkey's flute. The noble lady engages adultery with the clown and gives birth to terrifying evil! Even the archbishop becomes greedy!"
"Arrogance comes before prayer, maggots rule the castle, gold is everything...this must end! The decayed summer is about to end!"
The voice of this "prophet" became more and more loud and excited! The more people were watching,
"Look," he stretched out his hand to point at the comet and the castle, "That is the foreshadowing of heaven! The gods are crying for us to purify ourselves, otherwise we will completely erase us from the world!"
The people cheered, and there were applause and applause around them!
"Cult!" Lin En curled his lips, "Anyone who attributes natural phenomena to man-made disasters is a cult!"
"I totally agree!" Tyrion nodded repeatedly, "but some of his statements are really hard to refute!"
"The king has no hope, but who is the little devil monkey he mentioned?"
Lynn and Bolon looked at each other, staring at Tyrion with no words.
The little devil's face went from doubt to astonishment to anger!
He pointed his finger at himself in disbelief.
Chapter completed!
