Chapter 147 Advice

"You said Petyr was the real murderer of Jon Arryn?"

In the prime minister's tower, Duke Eddard looked at the "Red Viper" Prince Oberyn in surprise.

"Yes, otherwise why would I attack him for no reason?"

Duke Ed laughed angrily: "Petyr wasn't in Starfall City at the time, how did you murder Jon? Oberyn, if you want to absolve yourself, you have to find a good reason."

"Petyr and his secret lover, Lysa Tully, poisoned Jon Arryn. That's why that woman hid in Eagle's Nest and dared not come to King's Landing. She felt guilty."

"This is your evidence?"

"They said that I killed Jon Arryn, do you have evidence?" Prince Oberyn asked back.

Duke Ed paused, and said: "That's why you have to be tried! If there is real evidence, you should have been sent to the gallows long ago."

"In this case, I ask Petyr Baelish to stand trial with me." Prince Oberyn made the request in a flat tone.

Duke Ed stared at Prince Oberyn for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes, you will be tried as suspects tomorrow."

Prince Oberyn smiled triumphantly: "I believe the gods will make a fair verdict."

Duke Ed made a soft snort, and said, "Then you shouldn't attack Lord Petyr either!"

"It's just to teach him a little lesson, who let him design to frame me."

"The so-called framing is just your one-sided statement. You attacked the Minister of Finance in the street, Oberyn, you go to the black jail and reflect on it!" Duke Ed made no secret of his dislike for this person.

"Okay, I'll just stay for one night anyway." Prince Oberyn was also a bachelor, "However, as a suspect, I ask Petyr to stay in the dark cell with me."

"You are not qualified to make demands with me." Duke Ed waved at the gold-cloaked guards, "Put him in a black prison."

"Lord Ed, tomorrow you will know my innocence." Prince Oberyn said.

"Innocent?" Duke Eddard looked at this man with disdainful eyes, "Red Viper, even if you really didn't murder Jon Arryn this time, you can't be called a murderer just because of the **** things you did before. innocent!"

Prince Oberyn laughed: "Lord Ed, do you really regard yourself as a moral role model? Believe me, since you have entered this game of power, don't even think about not having blood on your body, otherwise, your blood will Become a badge on someone else's armor!"

"Take it away!" Duke Ed waved again.

The guards escorted Prince Oberyn out of the room, and this person was still laughing all the way, not knowing whether he was complacent or mocking someone.

Duke Ed sat on a chair, rubbed the space between his brows tiredly, seemed to think of something, and asked the attendants beside him:

"How is Petyr Baelish doing now?"

"Master Pycelle has treated his wound, and it should not be life-threatening."

"Okay." Duke Ed nodded, and couldn't help but think of Prince Oberyn's accusation against Littlefinger.

Could it really be Jon Arryn who this person secretly murdered?

But Jon Arryn is this person's lord! He also single-handedly promoted this person to the Imperial Council!

My wife also said that this person can be trusted.

But Lysa Tully

Duke Ed suddenly felt a nausea, and finally failed to suppress the anger in his heart, and ordered to the attendant:

"Go and put Petyr in the dungeon!"

"Yes, my lord."

After the attendants left, Duke Ed looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky, dazed.

It wasn't until the housekeeper came to remind him that it was time for dinner that Duke Ed came back to his senses, left the study and came to the restaurant in a daze.

"Father."

"Master."

Duke Ed nodded in greeting, only to find that only his eldest daughter Sansa and Sister Mordane were at the table: "Where is Arya?"

"Let's go out and play." Sansa said, "I haven't seen her today."

Sister Mordane complained: "My lord, Miss Arya has been catching cats in the castle recently, crawling around, and making herself dirty. This is not something a noble lady should do. You should take care of it." her."

Duke Ed's brows frowned even tighter. At this moment, Arya's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Father!"

Duke Ed looked back and saw his little daughter in a mess, and immediately became angry, but when he saw that there were people behind his daughter, he suppressed his anger and said:

"How did you do this? Go change and eat."

"Oh." Arya stuck out her tongue and ran away in a hurry.

Duke Ed looked at Samwell and squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for sending Arya back."

"It's my honor." Samwell bowed slightly to pay tribute, and then he was about to leave.

"Baron Caesar." Duke Ed suddenly stopped him, "If you don't mind, you can stay and have dinner together."

Samwell looked at the hand of the king whose face was full of exhaustion and trouble, and said with a smile:

"good."

Samwell stepped forward to greet Sansa and the nun, and then sat down at the long table.

The servants served supper, venison stewed with mushrooms, leg of lamb roasted on charcoal, carrot pie, green salad and a cream of onion soup.

After Arya changed her clothes and sat down at the long table, Duke Ed announced the start of dinner.

Arya enthusiastically talked about her cat-catching adventure today, and also mentioned the secret passage and the two mysterious people she met. However, the content of the mysterious man's conversation she relayed was messed up, and it didn't arouse her absent-mindedness at all. of the Hand of the King.

After a dull dinner, Duke Ed greeted Samwell to the balcony.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, a crescent moon hung on the treetops, and the stars were sparse and dim.

"Baron Caesar, I heard that you went to see Duke Renly today?" Duke Eddard just said, maybe because he felt that his tone was too stiff, he added, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to ask questions."

Samwell smiled, and said frankly: "Yes, Lord Ed, I went to see Lord Renly today, but the content of the conversation... Please forgive me for not being able to tell you, because it involves the affairs of several other nobles Privacy. But I can assure you that we will never do anything that endangers the stability of the kingdom."

Duke Ed looked seriously into Samwell's eyes, his mind was full of thoughts, he actually didn't know whether he should trust the young baron in front of him.

But now, he really has no one to trust.

And he and his men are surrounded by eyes and ears. He had to find someone who had little to do with him to help.

King's Landing is full of lies, and everyone who lives here is also a liar. Duke Ed is determined not to trust anyone here anymore.

A baron from other places should not be polluted by the environment here. he thought.

Moreover, this person once gave himself a very good suggestion, and repeatedly expressed his kindness to the Stark family...

Duke Ed felt that he should give it a try.

He did not believe that the gods could be so cruel, and repeatedly disappointed him.

"Baron Caesar." Duke Ed's face was extremely serious, "You are the champion knight of King Robert, and he personally awarded you the wreath and laurel crown and this honor. Do you know how to repay the king's grace?"

Samwell seemed to realize something, and quickly suppressed his smile, clasped his right hand lightly on his chest, and solemnly said:

"I will repay this grace with unparalleled loyalty!"

"Okay!" Duke Ed finally smiled, "Now I want to give you a secret mission, which is related to the honor of the king and the rise and fall of the country, but it is also full of danger. Are you willing to accept it?"

Samwell had already guessed what Duke Ed's so-called secret mission was, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed that the King's Hand was so desperate that it found him.

"Of course!" Samwell was like an impassioned young man at this time, "It is my duty and honor to serve the king!"

"Very good." Duke Ed patted Samwell's arm, and then lowered his voice, "Everything I told you today, you must keep it a secret, and you can't tell anyone, you know?"

"Yes, my lord."

Duke Ed paused for a moment, and then said: "I suspect that what happened to the king at the tournament was not an accident, but a murder!"

Samwell put on a shocked and angry expression, as if hearing it for the first time.

Duke Ed recounted his suspicions. Of course, Samwell already knew these things.

And he dared to guarantee that these doubts should be revealed to the king by Petyr Baelish "Littlefinger", in order to detonate the dispute between lions and wolves.

Samwell pretended to be terrified, and it took him a long time to digest the news, and then said:

"So, you suspect the queen..."

"Yes." Duke Ed said in a deep voice, "The queen cheated on her younger brother, and she murdered the king because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed. I have no evidence for this matter, so I need you to help me investigate secretly."

"Of course I am willing to serve you, but I am worried that I will not be able to find out..."

"You don't need to be under pressure." Duke Ed reassured, "I will continue to investigate myself. It's just that my goal is too obvious, and some people dare not tell the truth to me, so I need another person, one they won't Those who notice help me, so that we may be able to find out the truth through light and darkness."

I know the truth. Samwell sighed secretly, but he didn't dare to hand over the truth to the king in front of him.

This person is too straightforward and honest, and he pays too much attention to the so-called glory.

If he really wants to hand over the truth to him, Samwell dare not predict how the following plot will evolve. Perhaps the situation will completely collapse and the Seven Kingdoms will be in chaos.

This is not what Samwell wants to see.

It is better to keep the Queen's secret in your own hands.

"Okay, my lord, I will try my best to investigate."

"If there is any progress, come to me directly."

"good."

Duke Ed sent Samwell to the door. Seeing that the other person was about to leave, he remembered the advice that this person had given him before, and suddenly said:

"Sam, do you have any suggestions for the current situation in King's Landing?"

"This..." Samwell scratched his head, "I'm just a little baron, how can I give you advice on national affairs."

"You don't need to be modest, just say it." Duke Ed sighed, his face couldn't hide his fatigue, "I need advice now."

Samwell thought for a while and said:

"Before going to the battlefield, my father gave me a piece of advice, now please allow me to give it to you."

"What advice?"

I am the pioneer. Samwell said to himself.

But when the words came to the lips, they became: "One time, only face one enemy."

After speaking, Samwell bowed again, then turned and left.

Leaving Duke Ed in place, he stood there for a long time without saying a word.
