People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

The public trial meeting is drawing to a close.

Not just Hussain and Adnan, but their families, servants, robbers in the gang.

The innocents have long been released, and the ones brought to trial are all "sinners" with solid evidence.

Because Lothar is also very clear that counting on civilians to vote, even if it is a petty theft, there is a high probability that the first step will be the death penalty.

So just go through the process.

"Is the car ready?"

Andreas nodded and said: "Including the ten accompanying guards, they are all ready."

Lothar said, "Then get ready to go."

He was ready to leave Hebron for Jerusalem.

Andreas had some doubts: "My lord, are you sure you want to leave today? Hussein is fine, but Adnan has always had a good reputation among the leaders of the heretics. I'm worried that they will join forces and wait for an opportunity to rebel."

"If they really dare to do this, it's just a quick knife to cut the mess."

A smile appeared on Lothar's face: "Don't forget, how far is it from Jerusalem? I'm still the grand master of the Royal Knights, and the favorite of His Majesty the King."

"Favorite", although it was Lothar's teasing of himself, it was also a real thing.

In the city of Jerusalem, although the previously armed pilgrim army has been disbanded, there are still two standing armies of the Knights and the City Guard.

With the shock of such a powerful force, even if Lothar did not intend to ask for foreign aid, these people would not dare to act rashly.

"At the very least, it's impossible for them to do anything before I stimulate them further."

Andreas said with a heavier tone: "My lord, I mean, what if?"

He is a cautious person, but in Lothar's view, his behavior is too foresight, and he is always afraid of this and that.

As a garment officer in charge of logistics, he is quite qualified, but don't expect to be able to do it alone like Hans.

Lothar smiled and said: "I'll be back tomorrow, if they can really organize their staff within a day, and if we haven't heard any news, you can just rely on the city wall for defense.

Don't tell me, with the strength of Hebron's inner fort (lord's hall), you can't hold it for a day? "

Andreas pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I see, my lord, this is simply impossible."

In such a short period of time, if those pagan tyrants can really join forces and organize a force that can rival the more than [-] standing troops under Lothar's command, they will make rapid progress and hit the city of Hebron
This is tantamount to the Arabian Nights, it is impossible to happen!

...

Lothar took more than ten hussars and two carriages, and rushed to Jerusalem with light clothes.

At this moment, Hebron has become a sea of ​​joy. The streets and alleys are filled with civilians who drink wine glasses to their heart's content. Even the Zoroastrians who don't drink, their faces are full of joy.

As soon as the new lord arrived, Hebron had a new atmosphere. Whether it was reducing taxes or punishing the two former local tyrants, people felt that the future would become easier. less feeling.

Jeanna was a little emotional: "This kind of scene was not common in Hebron in the past."

A city like Hebron with a strong religious atmosphere and extremely conservative teachings of both religions is like a strict father who keeps a straight face all the time.

In the past, the streets and alleys were filled with pilgrims who wore simple and devout pilgrimages.

Solemn and heavy are the main tone of this city.

"Indeed, to be honest, I have a sense of accomplishment."

Along the road, in the dense grape plantation.

Heavy grapes are being harvested, piled in barrels, danced by barefoot women.

Jeanna stared at the slender back of a beautiful girl, and praised: "My lord, do you know that the wine that a beautiful girl steps on is the best."

"do not know."

Lothar expressed incomprehension to Jeanna's behavior like an idiot.

Rianna suggested: "If it is a beauty like Miss Banruo, the wine that is stepped on must be the most mellow. I think you think so, too?"

Hannah rolled her eyes.

Lothar didn't answer the question at all, but said: "I have a chance to treat you to the old altar."

"What is the old altar?"

Jeanna was a little curious.

Lothar described it solemnly: "It is a kind of rice wine from an oriental country. It is brewed in an old altar. It has a mellow taste. I used to drink it often."

Jeanna showed anticipation: "I really want to taste it."

She changed the subject and said again: "My lord, you haven't answered the question I just asked, don't you want to taste the wine that Miss Banruo stepped on with her bare feet?"

Lothar glanced at Prajna, and seeing her calm expression, a subconscious thought came to her heart.

It seems that it is not impossible.

Fringila said loudly: "What about me? I want to try it too, my lord. Why don't we go to the grape plantation under your name when we come back?"

Jeanna praised: "If it's Miss Flynn, the taste must be very good, my lord, I'm starting to look forward to this trip to the vineyard."

Lothar thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Well, if you all want to, we will find a grape plantation when we return from Jerusalem."

After fighting for a lifetime, can't we enjoy it?

"My lord, do you want to have a horse riding competition? Let's charge from here and see who can reach the tree in front first!"

As Rangna spoke, she rode on Juechen and rushed to the front.

Lothar had no intention of catching up at all.

Flynn took the opportunity to slander, like a sycophant: "This thick-skinned woman is riding an Akhaltekin horse that you are not willing to ride yourself, and you want to compete with your lord in riding skills. You really don't want any face."

Lothar took it very seriously: "Indeed, it's too shameless!"

In the whole of Hebron, the cheerfulness on the surface cannot conceal the surging undercurrent.

Only then did the pagan tyrants who really controlled the city realize how outrageously wrong they thought that they had just changed to a new lord and had little to do with them.

In a tavern.

The three pagan tyrants are gathering together at this time.

After Hussein and Adnan fell, the three of them were the top three of the remaining taxpayers.

"We can't go on like this. It's obvious that this new lord wants to dig our roots!"

"The inspector named Ulm wandered around our territory with a troop of cavalry every day, telling them about the 'Assize Court' and posting various notices. If this continues, sooner or later It's our turn."

No one sitting here is clean!
If the big landlords of this era were pulled out and shot, all ten of them might be killed, but innocent people might be wronged, but if nine out of every ten people were killed, there would definitely be fish that slipped through the net.

"Then what can I do? This is a dragon slayer! When I met him, I saw with my own eyes that he placed a huge dragon head in the hall."

"Moreover, Saladin has already signed an armistice agreement with the king of the Franks, so it is impossible for him to give us much support."

In this era, unless you only lead the standing army, there is no surprise warfare at all.

Summoning the vassals, the leaders, and the serfs was a huge event, and it was impossible to conceal the news.

Therefore, once they want to raise the flag to rebel, unless they plan to bring only family guards, they can't cover it up at all.

It is more likely that they were wiped out by Lothar's defenders in Hebron before they were assembled.

"No, our strength is too weak compared to this tyrant. This place is so close to Jerusalem, and the taxpayers in the rest of the territory have nothing to do with them and will not pay attention to our plea for help. "

"Then what should we do, just wait for this tyrant to deprive us of our territory and wealth, and then send us to the gallows for the entertainment of these pariahs!"

Someone smashed the table and said angrily.

"You didn't see how happy those untouchables laughed when Adnan was killed. They wanted to praise the pagan's stinky feet immediately, and they simply tarnished the glory of the Holy Land!"

Lothar executed Hussein, and they even felt happy, but the execution of Adnan completely broke the rules that have lasted for thousands of years in this land.

"No, we still have one person to count on!"

Among the three, the oldest one said with a solemn expression: "First of all, it is beyond doubt that we cannot fight against the army of the heretics, but among the heretics, they are not monolithic either!"

"I see, what you want to say is, Earl Leonard?"

"That's right, Leonard will not be willing to give up his title of earl to the tyrant Lothar. As long as we support Leonard to regain the title of earl and drive Lothar away, the king of Jerusalem has no reason put one's oar in!"

Finally, there was a hint of life on the ashen faces of this group of people.

"Of course, we have to make two-handed preparations, and we can't rely on Leonard."

Someone suggested: "Whether it's buying a servant to poison, or hiring an assassin to assassinate, it must be done simultaneously with contacting Leonard. The sooner you can deal with this tyrant, the better."

"During this period of time, you must keep the untouchables under your control, and don't let them go to that circuit court to sue again."
