Since the Green Saint came to complain, Klein's case had been tossed around for more than a month. Finally, it was the day of the public trial.
The "Hall of Justice and Mercy" on the first floor of the pyramid was not big enough. There were too many citizens gathering around.
"Scholar Bao" was on trial. How could they not be excited and concerned?
To be honest, the idea of packaging Klein as Scholar Bao was not a brilliant one.
The masses were not blind, nor were they fools.
Even if they were blind, they could see the difference between the extravagant and lecherous Count Butcher and the "impartial and impartial Meereen".
Let's change the scene. For example, the person who assassinated Jon Bolton was not a Gith, and there was no "Son of the Harpy" who formed a society to remind the new freedmen of their nightmarish slave experience.
Klein dared to declare to the public that he was "upright and plainspoken, pleading for the people, but framing a villain". He would probably only be met with the ridicule of bards, singers, and the common people.
But the case of the Son of the Harpy was too special. It concerned the vital interests of all the freed slaves in Slaver's Bay.
The Son of the Invisible Woman of the Gith targeted the Dragon Queen. He was a high-ranking member of the "Mother Of Dragons Guard" of Meereen, and the representative of the new freedmen of Meereen.
His organization's program was to overthrow the current "master" of the new freedmen and restore the cruel slave rule of the Gith.
To put it bluntly, Klein's brutal suppression of the Son of the Harpy could be seen as a continuation of the class struggle.
The former ruling class, the slave-owners of the Gith; the former oppressed slaves, now the new freedmen.
The revolutionaries, the revolutionaries.
These two were too distinct and too typical of opposing classes.
After taking down Meereen and Kaiyuan, the Dragon Queen's war of liberation came to an end, and the class struggle began halfway: to mobilize public opinion, to use plays and songs to describe the injustice of slavery and the suffering of the slaves.
In other words, to arouse the people's hatred of the former ruling class.
The more they hated the slave countries of the past, the more they cherished the free countries of the present; the more they hated the slave-owners of the past, the more they supported the current Dragon Queen.
This kind of emotion aroused by public opinion could turn the onlookers into revolutionaries, thus strengthening the Dragon Queen's resistance to the allied forces and the stability of her rule.
Logically speaking, once the hatred was triggered, the next step would be to settle the score.
The revolutionaries had both hatred and hostility in their hearts. While they were settling the score, they were also venting the hostility in their hearts.
Killing many birds with one stone!
"Everyone" did the same.
However, Dragon Queen could not do it.
First, her enemies were not only the Guise people of Slave Bay, but also the slave owners of the whole world.
In other words, the Dragon Queen was still at the stage of establishing a "united front against slavery."
Weak slave owners, big slave owners who sympathized with slaves, and neutral forces who only wanted to make money were all targets of the "united front."
Just like "everyone" did.
If the entire world was a country, then the Dragon Queen only occupied a small county as the base of her revolution.
When she really completed the unification, the "united front" would no longer be needed.
Those who had cooperated with her before: the weak slave owners, the big slave owners who sympathized with slaves, became class enemies; the neutral forces who only wanted to make money, the free people who did not have their own opinions, became "XX doctrine."
In short, the Dragon Queen could not be too ruthless to the Guise people. Otherwise, the slave owners of other city-states would not surrender again. Instead, they would erupt with great energy to survive when they thought they had no way out.
The second reason was that when the long night came and the Guise people were "settled," who would come to farm for the Dragon Queen?
Therefore, the Dragon Queen stopped abruptly halfway through the class war, leaving the hearts of the newly liberated free people in a state of uncertainty.
At this time, Kleon came out of nowhere.
Standing in the wind, pigs could also fly.
Kleon stood in the wind with a pair of invisible wings.
A hero met the times!
In another way, he continued the next step of the class struggle.
He overfulfilled the settlement of the Guise people and helped the new free people vent the hostility in their hearts.
Therefore, he became the "righteous master" in the hearts of singers, poets, and the free people of the Guise people.
The so-called righteous master, wasn't it just asking for the people's orders?
Kleon did so well, why couldn't he be considered a righteous master?
There was only one point, his methods were too cruel.
But for the people, "corrupt officials are treacherous, and honest officials are even more treacherous" was a matter of course.
Corrupt officials were hateful; honest officials were cute.
The people were so simple.
Even if Kleon did break the law, they could forgive him.
It was because Danny understood this that she came up with the bad idea of "come to the scholar and wear the scholar's vest."
Facts proved that the effect was not bad.
"Kleon, the impartial and impartial!"
"Kleon, the loyal and righteous!"
"Meereen's Clear Sky Kleon!"
"Kleon, the nemesis of evil!"
.....
On the first day of the public trial, from inside the hall to the square outside the hall, thousands of people crowded together and slogans were endless.
They kept putting pressure on the 15 jurors in the courtroom.
In the preliminary trial, there were 27 "legal experts" who examined Kleon's criminal acts. In the public trial, there were 15 jurors: five nobles, five representatives of the new free people, and five representatives of the Guise people.
"It's about time," Missandei reminded the Dragon Queen.
Yes, Danny was the chief judge, sitting under the plaque that said "Justice is above, benevolence is below."
This was also the queen's throne.
"Pa!" The Dragon Queen slammed the gavel, and the Unsullied holding the Fire and Water Staff below hit the floor rhythmically.
"Bam, bam, bam …"
They shouted, "Wei ~ ~ ~ Wu ~ ~ ~ ~"
There were also 10 Unsullied holding up the "Silence" sign.
Two were in the hall, and the remaining eight were scattered on the second step of the pyramid, facing the free people in the square.
The Dragon Queen's power was extraordinary. In the next moment, the slogans suddenly stopped, and everyone in and out of the hall quieted down.
"With just a sign, you did what Cersei's 3007 swords couldn't do," the Wildfire General said with emotion.
Little Aegon looked enviously at Aunt Danny on the throne and sighed. "When I ascend the Iron Throne, will the people of King's Landing be so obedient?"
"That depends on whether your 3007 swords are sharp or not. There are only unruly people in King's Landing. Unless you can fill everyone's stomach and let everyone live in a clean and spacious house, they won't love any king like the free people of Slaver's Bay love Dragon Queen, "the Wildfire General said as he took off his green helmet.
Yes, after the last incident, Tyrion had to wear leather armor, armor, and helmet during work.
The iron helmet became a safety helmet, and the armor was a work uniform.
The leather armor, helmet, armor, and even the cloak behind him were all green, like a burning wildfire.
This was the Wildfire General's exclusive equipment, and no one else had the right to wear it!
"Why 3007 swords?" Little Aegon asked.
"Three thousand golden robes, seven Kingsguard, this is all the power the king has. Sigh, compared to the Dragon Queen, it's too far away. "Tyrion sighed.
The Dragon Queen's dignified voice echoed in the quiet hall. "The law is the law. The jurors can take the opinions of the crowd into consideration, but don't be completely influenced by them. You are the jury, and you know the law, so you should act according to the law! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The 15 jurors bowed respectfully to Judge Danny and took their seats.
"Smack!" The Dragon Queen slammed the gavel again and stared with her beautiful eyes. She shouted at the prisoner below, "Clayon, you imprisoned the Green Saint and her family for no reason, and even raided the Temple of Divine Grace.
The first charge against you is' harming a religious leader and threatening the freedom of religion of the people of Meereen. 'Do you admit it? "
"Your Majesty, jurors," Clayon's face was clean and tidy, and his expression was calm as he spoke. "I admit that I detained the Green Saint and most of the Saints of the Temple of Divine Grace, and I also admit that I locked up their families. But before convicting me, please confirm one thing."
He raised his index finger, looked around at the people around him, and said loudly, "Should the Green Saint be arrested? She is the spiritual leader of the Sons of the Harpies, one of the initiators of the rebel group, and the biggest enemy of all the free people of Slave Bay. I dare to swear to the Seven Gods, she deserves it! "
"Swear to the Seven Gods?"
Tyrion looked at the brown-skinned, black-haired Butcher of Gith, and then looked at the approving expressions of the people around him, and felt that it was very absurd.
"It's strange to hear the name of the Seven Gods in Slave Bay, tens of thousands of miles away from the Seven Kingdoms," he muttered.
"What's so strange about that? You have never been to the Great Cathedral of Divine Grace, and you don't know how many believers of the Seven Gods come to pray every day.
Especially to the 'free Light Maiden', the believers here are thousands of times more devout than the Seven Kingdoms.
If you walk around the city more, you will find that the teachings of the Seven Gods have penetrated into every household in Astapor.
Now, the marriages and funerals of the people are all presided over by the White Nun. "Sister Ashara said disapprovingly.
"But I heard that the Great Cathedral of Divine Grace has … holy prostitutes. Is this in line with the teachings of the Seven Gods? "Duck Duckfield said awkwardly.
"The Church needs money to survive, and not all women are determined to serve the Seven Gods. Also, the Red Saint and the Garden of Desire are a cultural tradition of the city of Ursus. "Ashara's face turned red, and she explained calmly.
Tyrion's eyes lit up. "I have heard of the name of the Red Saint in the Garden of Desire, and I thought that this profession was taken away by the Dragon Queen …"
As he said that, he punched the duck knight's thigh, and scolded in a low voice, "Duck, you are too disloyal, you didn't even tell me when you went to find the holy prostitute. A nun, that's so exciting! "
"I also accidentally found out about it when I was drinking at the docks. Also, you are busy experimenting with Wildfire Bullets all day long, I often don't see you. "Duck said.
Clinton's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Tyrion aside and asked, "Can you do it?"
"Do what?" Tyrion was confused.
"The day before yesterday, after I touched you, your d * ck and —"
Before he could finish, Tyrion's expression changed, and he growled, "I said it clearly, unless you are as beautiful as the Knight of Flowers, and wear women's clothes, it is impossible between you and me, don't harass me again."
Clinton's stiff square face turned white and red, and he gritted his teeth. "You … never … look … in the mirror? That's right, normal people, including yourself, would be so disgusted that they wouldn't be able to eat if they didn't have nightmares when they saw your deformed face! "
"Then I'm really relieved. I was worried that your taste was so unique that you would ignore my appearance and take a fancy to my noble and rich soul, "Tyrion said.
"You …" Little Aegon and Duckfield took a few steps back, looking terrified.
"Smack!" The shock block interrupted Tyrion and Clinton's explanation, and they heard the Dragon Queen say, "The Green Saint, Graz 'dan Kalal!"
