Stanley took Baron corett to the gallows. In fact, he had many ways to kill corett, but he chose this most insulting way. In this era, the execution of nobles generally requires the execution of owls. Even ordinary civilians who commit capital crimes will be executed by owls. Only those who commit heinous crimes will be hanged.
When collet was taken to the gallows, the nobles immediately stood up and protested.
"Axe to the nobility and noose to the civilians. This is the rule of the kingdom. No matter what mistakes corett makes, you can''t treat him like this!"
In Stanley''s view, corett is a typical heinous crime. He not only wants to execute corett, but also takes this opportunity to deter other people with evil intentions.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his position. People first questioned the way to execute collet. In the protest, collet shouted that he was not guilty, which triggered a new protest - should collet be executed or not?
Stanley was furious: "he hired an army to try to kill the count. According to the law of the Kingdom, the criminal who murdered the Lord should be tortured by more than seven kinds of torture, and then put him to death. I just hanged him here, which has shown my kindness!"
A baron came forward and said, "you are not qualified to use the word ''kindness''. As for whether Baron Collett is a criminal or not, you are not qualified to judge. Don''t forget that the master here is count gassac."
Stanley smiled and said, "I am the Viscount personally canonized by the king and the deputy of Lord gassac. Of course, I am qualified to judge his crimes!"
A lord shouted, "Viscount? You deserve it? You''re just a lucky ruffian!"
Stanley needs silver teeth. He didn''t care much about his origin before, but since he became a Viscount, he hates others to scold him as a ruffian.
"Lord nickland, was that you?" Stanley looked at each other ferociously.
Unexpectedly, the other party was not afraid: "I said, do you also want to hang me?"
Stanley was just about to attack. Another Baron came forward and said, "do you have any evidence that Baron Collett is guilty?"
Stanley sneered, "isn''t it evidence that my soldiers fought a fierce battle with the army hired by collet?"
Collet shouted, "nonsense, I hired the army to protect the safety of Niujiao town. My guard captain fought with you when he learned that you kidnapped the count!"
Stanley was surprised. He didn''t expect that collet would suddenly say such words.
The other party is ready. There is a trap here. Stanley reacted. Unfortunately, he has fallen into the trap.
The next situation was completely out of control. A baron came forward and made Stanley speechless:
"Where is the count now? We must see him. As long as the count is alive, you can''t do whatever you want here!"
Stanley didn''t know how to respond. Although gassack was alive, he didn''t even have the ability to speak. These people were at the heart of everything. It was obvious that they had made a plan last night.
He had not yet figured out how to respond, but he had been besieged by everyone. Lord nickland even rushed to him and pointed to Stanley''s nose. It was not until the two living corpses pulled out their long swords that the nobles controlled their emotions a little.
"I almost forgot that you are still a heretic," Lord nickland spat. "You steal other people''s bodies and keep company with them all day. It''s disgusting to see you! You ruined the fortunes of the count!"
Ni Kelan wanted to come forward again. Suddenly, a centurion pulled out his long sword: "Lord, keep a distance from the viscount. You''re too unruly."
Lord Stanley dared to scold. Naturally, he would not be afraid of a centurion, but he was afraid of the soldiers behind the centurion because they all pulled out their long swords.
Stanley also maintained control over the army, which was the most feared by other nobles. But the army can only serve as a deterrent. Stanley can''t kill all the nobles present.
In the shouting and protest of the aristocracy and, Stanley chose to compromise and temporarily imprisoned collet in the dungeon.
Back at the castle, Julian was applying powder to the count. Looking at gassac''s face, Stanley carefully asked, "is it getting better?"
He wished he could hear a positive answer, even if it was a little vague.
Lulian took Stanley outside the door and gave a clear answer: "you have fallen and climbed on the battlefield for half your life. You should have seen such a scene. His blood is dry. He can''t survive at his age unless he has the same physique as a young man. Maybe there is still a little hope."
The same physique as a young man... Stanley took out the third-order divine blood stone from his waist.
Lulian was stunned and said, "are you crazy? Do you want him to be promoted in this situation? He can''t carry it!"
"There''s no other way," Stanley gritted his teeth. "I can only bet once."
Lulian whispered, "I think this may be a good opportunity. If gassac dies, you can let his eldest son inherit the title. He has a good relationship with you, and you are the highest status person in Niujiao town. The whole Niujiao town will be yours in the future."
Stanley lowered his head and said nothing.
Lulian said, "are you worried about the silver needle in your chest? I can take it off and promise I won''t hurt you."
Stanley shook his head again and said, "I know how to remove the silver needle. I just need to find the count''s contract, but I don''t want to do that."
Lulian frowned and said, "are you willing to be enslaved by him all your life?"
Stanley bit his lips and said, "he''s alive. I''m a viscount. He''s dead. I''m still the ruffian."
That night, Stanley held a promotion ceremony for gassac
Three days later, Stanley received the news that 4000 divine punishment troops led by LAN Pigu and Brasi were about to arrive in Niujiao town. Their conditions were: gaisak gave up his title, accepted church sanctions, executed all heretics, and executed all those who had killed and insulted divine punishment believers.
Stanley should have mobilized his army to prepare for the battle, but he was surrounded in the castle and couldn''t even get out of the gate.
The nobles of Niujiao town asked to see count gassac, and they also put forward their own conditions:
They were willing to fight for the count, provided that the count was still alive, and immediately removed Stanley from his post and released Baron Collett.
If gaisak is dead, they will give up resistance and surrender directly to the divine punishment army.
Stanley stood at the gate of the castle without saying a word. Lord nickland stood at the front again and said to Stanley, "you are a man. I know what to do. If I were you, I would choose to die with dignity. If you don''t have the courage to die, leave Niujiao town. Hide your name and hide your name. The farther you can escape, the better. In short, don''t involve others!"
A baron said, "it''s too cheap for him to let him go. He kidnapped the count. It''s heinous. We don''t need God''s punishment army. We should burn him immediately!"
"Burn him! Burn him!"
The shouts of the crowd were neat and loud. Lord nickland sighed and said, "Stanley, you''d better listen to my advice and die decently. At least you can..."
In the middle of the conversation, Ni Kelan suddenly choked. He found someone standing behind Stanley.
Stanley turned around and quickly let him go. He saw count gassack standing in front of the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Lord nickland, what did you say just now? The wind is a little strong today. I didn''t hear it clearly."
Ni Kelan didn''t dare to say anything. Gaisak waved to him and said, "get closer. Again, can''t you hear me when I let you come over?"
Ni Kelan shivered and walked up to gaisak and said, "I mean, we want to fight with you..."
Before the words fell, gesack knocked Ni Kelan to the ground with a punch. Ni Kelan''s face was beaten and changed shape. He lay on the ground and couldn''t stand up.
Gassack shook his hands and looked at the people: "I didn''t hear what you just said. Come here and tell me again."
The nobles did not dare to look directly into the count''s eyes. They were afraid of gassack, and today''s gassack is more terrible than ever before.
