Chapter 375

The Green Maiden slowly told what had happened in Meereen in the past month. Not only Maester Aemon was dumbfounded, but even Dany was completely convinced by the maester.

Not to mention the slave bay with a population of 150 million, even in the ancient Chinese dynasty where there were tens of millions or [-] million people at every turn, major cases involving tens of thousands of people were rare.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who likes to kill heroes the most, only implicated more than [-] people in Hu Weiyong's case, and only [-] people in Lan Yu's case.

But in Meereen, which has a population of just over 30, the bachelor came to handle a horrific case involving 8 people, including 2 death row inmates.

As the Green Maiden said, almost all the Ghis nobles and merchants in the middle and upper classes of Meereen were defeated.

Well, during the raid on Meereen, because Meereen didn't have time to resist, Dany only took the Great Lord and some of the big slave owners who supported Kaiyuan City into custody, and didn't hurt those middle and high-level people in society above the middle class and below the Great Lord The Ghisians—had economic losses, and Dany stripped them of their slaves and most of their fixed assets.

As a result, troubles were left behind, and the Ghis people who were dissatisfied with the Dragon Queen gradually gathered together and formed a terrorist organization called "Sons of the Harpy".

Of course, Dany is by no means a white lotus, nor is she bound by the "you are as kind as Rhaegar" spell like the original Daenerys.

Can't find the obvious reason, just endure it all the time?

impossible.

Regardless of whether the "Sons of the Harpy" made trouble or not, the Ghisians must be cleaned up.

According to her original plan, she planned to choose the battlefield under the city of Meereen for the battle with the Allied forces, and let the Ghisians bear the pain of the liberation war, and at the same time completely destroy the existing social structure of Meereen.

Meereen was chosen as the battlefield for two reasons:

1. Keeping the enemy out of the country sounds easy, but it is difficult to do.If Dany chooses the battlefield in Tolos, 900 kilometers west of Meereen, food transportation alone will kill her;

2. The terrain of Meereen is very special. There is a huge plain leading to the Dothraki Sea in the north of Meereen. Her army leaves the city wall and goes to the west to attack Tolos. , Two roads cut off her back road, and even raided Meereen, the grain transportation center.

If you want to compare Meereen with the famous pass in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, it is very similar to Shanhaiguan.

It is close to the sea and connected to the big river. When you leave the customs, you will find vast plains and powerful barbarian enemies. When you enter the customs, you will find a large and fertile land of Meereen, Kaiyon, and Astapor.

It was because of such a black-hearted plan that Dany transferred the Ghis people of Kaiyuan to Meereen, and the new free folk of Meereen to the Great Plains of Kaiyuan.

As for whether the Dorges in Meereen will have an armed riot?

Even after the maester went through all this trouble, Meereen still didn't lose control.

In fact, one of the Dragon Queen's main field guards is stationed in Meereen!

It's a pity that fate is not as good as people's calculations. The Dragon Queen has played against her conscience, but the coming bachelor easily disrupted her plan.

Because of an assassination incident, the person who was assassinated was not the king, but the commander of the guards, and tens of thousands of heinous plotters were implicated.

Of the less than 30 Giss, [-] were imprisoned and [-] were sentenced to death.

With such a proportion, even in the entire ancient Chinese history, scholars dare to shout to countless ancestors: Who else? !

What's even more amazing is that he not only attacked the powerful and businessmen, but even the religious forces in Meereen were almost wiped out.

The Green Maiden of Meereen's status in the religious circles of Slaver's Bay is similar to that of the Archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods, but the entire family was locked up by an earl and the city lord, and her family property was also confiscated.

it's too

"Boom—crash!" Dragon Queen smashed three tea bowls and one teapot with a slap, "It's so hateful!"

Uh, it was slapped on the coffee table, and the porcelain bowl and pot fell to the ground and shattered.

The Queen was furious, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of murderous intent: "You bastard, dare to treat my "Code" as a joke, and ignore the tradition that you can't punish a saint, he is tired and crooked!"

These words seemed to prop up the courage and back of the Green Saintess, and also opened the valve of resentment in her heart, followed by the Dragon Queen and cursed: "Kleon is a cruel, inhuman, cruel and cunning butcher.

Fortunately, today's situation has been achieved by relying on trivial achievements, all thanks to His Majesty's grace.

But he didn't want to repay, betraying His Majesty's trust, he should be executed immediately and let the dragon eat him. "

"Well," the Dragon Queen thought for a while, and said, "Your Excellency the Green Maiden, how about I ride a dragon to Meereen now, use the Queen's privilege, and immediately arrest Cleon.

Or, let's go through the normal procedure. I will handwrite a Queen's Edict to you, and then you will take it to Meereen by boat, and find Sir Jon, the commander of the Guards, according to the edict, and take Cleon Broken Shackled and thrown into prison. "

"Uh, what's the difference?" the old saint was stunned.

Dany pointed to the seven Toka-robed Ghis who were blocked four or five meters away by the Unsullied, and asked, "Aren't they the bitter Lords of Meereen who were oppressed by Cleon? The plaintiffs and witnesses."

"Well, they are all Meereen merchants who came to Astapor to complain to you." The green maiden nodded.

Originally, she was worried that the Dragon Queen would cover up her courtiers, and she was even the mastermind behind the scenes.

That's why a group of plaintiffs were brought in to prove how heinous Cleon was, hoping to put some pressure on the queen to stop her from doing such a terrible thing.

After coming here, I realized that I was thinking too much. The queen has always been so wise and kind, and she also felt empathy for the atrocities committed by the Earl of the Butcher, so she decided to arrest him immediately.

In this way, the witnesses used to complain about sympathy are useless.

"Do you remember the "Code of Nobles" I formulated? It is the legal provisions against crimes committed by nobles." Dany asked.

"This..." The green saint was startled, and began to think hard, but after thinking for a while, she only remembered that there was such a law, but she forgot the specific content.

"I don't remember much." She said honestly.

Dani waved to the serious-looking little black girl in a purple cheongsam, and said, "Missandei, please explain to Your Excellency the Green Sister."

Missandei stared at her big golden eyes, and said: "There are regulations in the Noble Judgment Chapter of the "Law Code", there are only two ways to arrest a nobleman.

First, the Queen's or the King's Hand can declare the crime in front of the person concerned, regardless of whether there is conclusive evidence or not, and arrest it immediately.

But later in the trial process, the Queen or the Hand of the King cannot appear as jurors.

Second, the plaintiff provided sufficient witnesses and material evidence, legal and reasonable, and the Queen or the King's hand approved the arrest warrant.

A minister of state holds a warrant for the arrest of criminal aristocrats, and both the queen and the hand of the king can appear on the jury. "

To put it bluntly, like the judicial system in modern society, arrest (administration) and trial (judiciary) are two different institutions. The queen can automatically choose to join one of them, but she can only be one of them.

Either be a policeman (prosecutor) or a judge, and you can't arrest people and convict them (ps).

There is no doubt that this law greatly limits the judicial power of the Queen.

"Yes, I remembered, that's it." The green maiden nodded repeatedly.

Glancing at Aemon's thoughtful gaze, Dany explained with a smile: "The fact that my father killed the Duke Stark and his son is too appalling. When I faced Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow, I was a little bit lacking in confidence. .

In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, I have formulated a law that strictly protects the rights and interests of nobles.Of course, there are also laws to protect the people. "

Given that the Long family has ancestral "crazy blood" genes, Danni dare not engage in the arbitrary behavior of the emperor Gan Gang of the Great Heavenly Dynasty.

She didn't want to see his descendants slaughtering innocents like crazy, or their entire family being wiped out because a certain Targaryen was too crazy.

Of course, it is very likely that Targaryen, who has awakened the mad blood, will not take into account the "Dani Queen's Code" formulated by the ancestor Dani.

At that time, the laws in the Code-Kings that abolished the Mad King's throne in favor of another Targaryen came into force.

The law is well-founded, and public grievances have a formal channel to vent their grievances. At least her descendants will not end up in a bleak and exterminated genocide, at least the probability is reduced.

"What should I do?" The green maiden asked blankly.

Either let the Dragon Queen use her privileges to arrest the Earl of the Butcher immediately—it will save time, and Cleon can be put in prison tonight.

Or let the dragon queen participate in the final judgment.She followed the normal procedure and personally led someone to take down Cleon, which seemed to be relieved?

But Meereen and Astapor have a thousand-kilometer sea route, and if the wind is favorable, it will take four or five days.

In fact, this is not up to the green saint to choose, this is the right of the dragon queen.

"Why don't you go back and think about it? Anyway, Cleon can't escape. I will immediately ask Missandei to write to Jon Bolton, asking him to monitor Cleon." Dany said.

"No, don't think about it, I'll go to Meereen now, and see how Cleon will face me!"

However, the old saint has come to her senses at this moment. Since the Dragon Queen wants to arrest Cleon in accordance with the "Code of Law", she must also try him in accordance with the "Code of Law". I don't know how much time will be delayed.

Since the butcher can't immediately declare the punishment code, it's better to arrest him personally and taunt him severely in front of his face.

"Don't worry, you are the minister of state affairs. Let's talk about it after attending tonight's banquet." Dany smiled and pulled the green maiden in front of Aemon. "Come on, let me introduce you. This is"

The party at night was very grand. In addition to military officers, officials from Astapor, and merchants from the Free City, one or two hundred famous new freemen also came. The food was also extremely rich, and there was unlimited supply of wine. Return drunk.

"Denise, do something for me." At around ten o'clock in the evening, after the guests left, Dani called the little assassin to her bedroom.

Well, Dany rejected her offer to be a spy in Volantis or New Ghis, and kept her by her side as a secret guard after liberating Kaiyuan.

Denise, who was wearing a small dark gray leather armor, came out of the shadows and asked expressionlessly, "Are you going to kill the Green Sister?"

Under the orange butter lamp, Dani, who was writing a letter on the table, froze for a moment, and turned her head with a wooden face, "What do you think?"

The little girl said earnestly: "When you were away, the Ghis people from Meereen all went to find the Green Maiden, gradually forming a small group of Ghis.

Missandei believes that after Cleon is defeated, the victory will further expand the Ghis group, from a group fighting for survival to a legitimate political force in Slave Bay, and will inevitably demand more political power in the future. "

"Did Missandei really say that?" Dany was shocked.

"Ah."

The little black girl really saw clearly the essence of the old and the young in the previous dynasty. If she couldn't be beaten to death, she would definitely rise again in some way.

After all, there are 30 to [-] people in the Gis tribe. They are really relieved and united. Even if they don't know the rebellion, they will become part of the power structure of the Dani Dynasty.

Dani patted her little head and asked with a smile, "Then do you understand?"

"No need to understand," Denise turned her head awkwardly, and muttered in a nasal voice: "I am the sword in the dark, as long as the dagger is sharp enough."

"Hehe, some things can't be solved with a dagger alone." Dany smiled and pinched her cheek, before she struggled to resist, she pulled out a roll of parchment from the table and stuffed it into her arms, "Take this To Cleon."

 (ps: I remember that in the chapter of "Code", some people said that Dany's laws to protect private property were too nonsense, and that the wild medieval era was simply unrealistic-in fact, the king had to pay back the debts, Aerys, Robert , Cersei, Joffrey, and Tommen all have to pay their debts.

  At this time, it is estimated that some people think that the "Code of Justice - Judgment of the Nobility" is a bit ridiculous, and the laws of the Middle Ages are not so advanced.

  Here I have to explain that "A Song of Ice and Fire" was written by modern people. Some of the laws in the book are almost the same as modern ones. It is a mess of advanced, really.

  To give a well-known example, in the purple wedding, the plot where the little devil is judged.

  Cersei is the plaintiff, and she really wants Tyrion to die, but even the queen has no right to directly convict the little devil (also because of Tywin), so she can only make small moves behind her back.

  Similarly, Tywin is the Hand of the King, which is also equivalent to the judge who tried the little devil. He probably wants to convict the little devil (?).But in the same way, he failed to directly declare his son guilty with authority.

  There are also several top nobles such as the Red Viper. They are like a jury, listening to the testimony of witnesses, and then deciding whether to convict the little devil.

  Well, many witnesses provided a complete chain of evidence, from the motive of committing the crime to the means of committing the crime.

  Advanced enough?

  Tyrion found that the evidence was getting more and more unfavorable to him, and even when the Red Viper vaguely revealed to him that the "jury" was not optimistic about him, he decided to terminate the trial before the king under the king's law and change it to a trial by combat under the church law. )
