Chapter 146 Little Demon Monkey

Lynn watched Bronn take his leave as if fleeing,

"Why are you running? I don't know how to find me a place to live!"

Reluctantly, I found a hotel to live in temporarily. The conditions were okay, but the food was very expensive.

He ordered a cream of chestnut soup, crispy warm bread, honey-glazed ham, and a roast swan stuffed with mushrooms and oysters.

Normally, one silver stag would be enough for this sumptuous dinner, but now Lin En needed three silver stags.

Seven silver stags are equal to one silver moon, and thirty silver moons are equal to one golden dragon coin, which means that one gold coin can eat such a standard dinner 210 times!

This shows how conscientious Tyrion was when he gave Lynn a commission of one gold coin a month.

After Lynn lived here, he began to really understand the city and the world.

He strolled in the streets and alleys of King's Landing. Most of the streets with red roofs, stone walls, and stone paved floors are not spacious, but they are bustling with people and horses.

But there are also dangers that can be seen everywhere. On the side of the Textile Street, a corpse is lying in a ditch, naked, being bitten by a group of wild dogs, but no one cares.

Gold robes in pairs can also be seen everywhere. They wear armor and hold swords, patrolling the streets and alleys, especially when they are in flea nests, and never dare to let go of the hilt of their swords.

The market is full of people who are dressed in rags and sell their property, from tools and utensils to furniture and houses, they will sell if anyone is willing to bid...

But there were almost no farmers selling meat and vegetables, and the few stalls with food were charging three to four times higher than before. Lynn also saw a peddler on Flea Street selling roast rats on skewers!

"Fresh rats!" The peddler shouted loudly,

"Sell fresh roasted mice!"

The mouse is roasted golden and fragrant!
And the hawker emphasized the word fresh!Fresh rats are certainly more palatable than rotten rats.

When we arrived at Flour Street, every store had guards standing guard.

The reason why Junlin's food has increased so exaggerated is because there is no more!

Ever since Renly and Highgarden made an alliance, Highgarden has blocked the passage of southern food into King's Landing.

The empire's two major food producing areas, one is the Hejian area, that is, Yujia. Now it has become a pot of porridge, and the food production has been greatly reduced. The little that is grown is also robbed by the army. Naturally, there is no food to sell to King's Landing.

Another great granary is the Riverbend, the rose family of Highgarden.

Like the Hejian area, the River Bend is a plain area with many rivers, but its geographical location is much better than that of the Hejian area, and its area is extremely large. It is the second largest area in the Seven Kingdoms after the northern border.

They haven't experienced many wars and have a large population. From the fact that they can easily pull [-] troops to support Renly, it can be seen how amazing their war potential is.

It's a pity that potential is always potential, and the Gaoting people have never fought a decent war!

……

Just as Lynn observed the world with his own eyes, Bronn was already waiting outside Tyrion's door, sweating profusely...

After receiving Lynn's "entrustment", Bronn actually didn't take it seriously when he first started investigating.

It didn't take long for the matter to pass, and it was carried out by the golden robe. I want to investigate whether it is easy to do,
It turned out that it was really simple, but as the investigation progressed, he became more and more frightened in his heart.

"This is a big hole!"

When it was found that the reason for killing the children was the Queen's order, it indirectly proved that the rumors of the folks in King's Landing were very likely to be correct, and the children who were killed were all Robert's illegitimate children!
At this time, Bronn didn't want to check anymore.
Due to the fact that Lynn's fist was too big, he bit the bullet and checked.

Finally, I went to Tobmot's blacksmith shop, and Bronn almost cried when he said that Gendry's brother was looking for him.

"This is more than a pit, it might kill someone!"

Of course Bronn is not a fool. Judging from the investigation, Lynn is very likely to be the escaped blacksmith apprentice Gendry!

He no longer dared to hide it, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Tyrion,
"Who? Who do you say has entered the city?"

Tyrion stood up with a whoop!
staring at Bronn with wide eyes,

When Bronn sent Lynn into the city to find him, entrusted him to investigate the matter, and told Tyrion bit by bit about the process of his investigation,
The ugly face of the little devil was even more distorted.

"That bitch! Look what she did? A monster. She awakened a monster herself. Now, how should I appease him?" Tyrion breathed out angrily.

Just as Cersei hated him, he hated Cersei just as much, especially after what happened to Bran Stark in Winterfell, he has already seen the problem!

The brotherhood between him and his brother James is very good, so he didn't betray them, but it doesn't mean he approves of this behavior!
"Maybe it's okay not to tell Lynn?" Bronn said hesitantly.

"It's useless, this matter can't be hidden, too many people know about it. He just hasn't thought of it to himself, otherwise he wouldn't even ask you!"

Tyrion paced up and down the room on short legs.

"However, this may be an opportunity!" He stopped and stared at Bronn with piercing eyes.

"Where is he now? I'm going to see him."

Where is Lynn now?He is wandering around the city, although the situation is not safe, but who would dare to provoke a giant like him?Everywhere you go is calm.

Lynn, who had been shopping for a day, had just returned to his hotel room when he saw Tyrion sitting in the room.

"Lyn, if you don't come back, I will go to the street to find you!" Tyrion jumped off the stool and walked over enthusiastically.

Lynn guessed why Tyrion came, shook his hand, invited him to sit down,

Tyrion explained the incident to Lynn with a little guilt,

"So, Jinpaozi did this kind of thing entirely because the previous leader thought that he could please the queen by doing so. I have already punished him and sent him to the Great Wall."

Tyrion didn't say that it was Cersei's order. This kind of thing can't be said by him. Once it gets deeper, it will be too ugly.

"That Gendry's illegitimate son, is that you?"

Lynn nodded, "No matter what my name used to be, now my name is Lynn."

"Okay! Lynn. What are your plans now? If you can help me, I promise you, I will give you a good future!" Tyrion invited him sincerely,
"We can cooperate very well, illegitimate child and dwarf! Haha. We can be very good partners. If the conditions are right, I can even suggest to the king to restore your legalization! Let your surname be returned to Baratheon!"

Tyrion drew big cakes to Lynn, hoping to draw him into his camp. Such a fierce man will definitely play a great role in the big battle in the near future!
Lynn's mind is a little messed up now, he just said to think about it, and sent Tyrion away.

After sending Tyrion away, his mind was a little messed up.

Originally thought it would be another simple task, to find out the identity of the bastard's father, no matter if he was a big businessman or a knight, it could be done easily.

Even if you are a nobleman, it is not too difficult.

But I didn't expect to be a king!
Still a king who unified Westeros!

This time the difficulty index of the task soared!

He is good at fighting and killing people, but that is completely different from running a country.

It’s not enough for a king to be able to fight. The simplest thing is, you have to feed the people, right?It is easy to feed one person, but it is not so easy to feed the whole continent!

And there are countless resistances, nobles, lords, and various forces are chaotic.

Looking at the current mainland, the northern border is independent, there is only one name left in the river, and the valley pretends not to exist behind closed doors. Needless to say, the Lannisters stole the throne.

Under such circumstances, Lin En didn't even have a place to stay, so he was planning to become a king?

And an illegitimate son became king!

Lynn scratched his head a little.

An illegitimate child is a dwarf with a disability level in Westeros. He is disliked and discriminated against. He doesn't even have a normal person's surname, let alone inheritance rights.

They can only use public surnames. For example, the illegitimate children in the northern border are all named Xue Nuo, and the illegitimate children in Wang Jing are all named Weishui. This is obvious discrimination, and it has the same effect as branding a prisoner's face.

To restore the surname, the king can only legalize his identity by personally ordering it!
But what arrogant and cruel Joffrey is the king now, who probably ordered the killing of Robert's illegitimate son, how could he agree to restore his name?
"By the way! What did that little devil just say? Can you help me recover my surname?" Lynn's mind cleared up.
"Tyrion is now the Prime Minister of King's Landing, the Hand of the King, and no one in King's Landing can restrain him except the Royal Council,"

"Even though Joffrey is arrogant, he is young after all. Tyrion even beat him, maybe there is a way!"

"Anyway, the task must be completed. To be able to have the identity of a prince is to make the process easier. If not..."

"Isn't it just fighting! If you can't do it in one year, it will be ten years! After fighting the west and the east, it's the same!"

Lynn relaxed,

The next day, Lynn found Tyrion,
"Then we are in the same boat now!"

Tyrion happily introduced the current situation to him,

"Now King's Landing has internal and external troubles. The biggest problem in the city is the lack of food. Many people have nothing to eat. Riots often occur in the streets and alleys!"

"And Stannis is laying siege to Storm's End after taking Renly's cavalry. Storm's End won't last long alone."

"We must seize the time to sort out the chaos in the city, and then actively prepare for battle! Lynn, I need you to protect me for a while, and now many people in this city want me to disappear! Including my dear sister!"

Lynn nodded and went out with him. On the way, Tyrion introduced to him his purpose today,

"We're going to capture dear Grand Maester Pycelle now!"

"Why? Isn't he a member of the Royal Council?" Lynn was a little puzzled. Grand Maester Pycelle had served Aegon V, Jaehaerys II, Aerys II, Robert I, Joffrey I, etc. Five kings, and three of them served as members of the imperial council, with high prestige, especially among the bachelors.

"Because he belongs to Cersei, the old thing has been hidden for so long, but I can easily see through it!"

Tyrion looks proud of his plan, blah blah blah blah to Lynn about how he managed to catch the "rat."

There are now seven members of the Imperial Council. They are now presiding over all major decisions of the country. They are composed of the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Sea, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Finance, the Grand Master, the Royal Guard and the Chief Intelligence Officer.

Lord of the Sea and Lord of Justice, Renly and Stannis respectively, had long been vacant, and Barristan the Fearless, ex-Kingsguard, had been banished.

When Tyrion is not here, they are all responsible to Cersei, after all, Joffrey is only 13 years old now.

After Tyrion came back with the badge of the Hand of the King, he was the main person in charge in name, but all his decisions would be known and opposed by Cersei. Tyrion was determined to catch the mouse,

He told Chancellor Baelish to send Cersei's daughter Princess Myrcella to the Vale to be married,

Then tell Minister of Intelligence Valas to send the princess to the Iron Islands to get married,
Then tell Grand Maester Pycelle to send the princess to Dorne to be married,

In this way, it didn't take long for his sister Cersei to come over angrily and ask Tyrion why he sent the princess to Dorne to get married.

This time, it is clear who is Cersei's person!
They are now going to pull out this nail so that they can further control King's Landing.

When they passed by the square, they saw a large number of people gathered under a leather tent, and a "beggar" stood on a high platform,
Lynn can only describe him in this way. He is wearing the simplest sackcloth and a hemp rope belt around his waist. He claims to be a prophet and is giving a loud speech.

Tyrion was in a good mood, stopped and listened with the crowd,
"Fallen!" the prophet's voice screamed,

"This is a warning! This is the Whip of the Father!" He pointed to the red comet in the sky.

From this angle, the Red Keep on Aegon's High Hill was just behind him in the distance, and the comet hung ominously high on its towers.It's like smashing into a castle!
Really good at picking the venue and the time, Lynn thought.

"We grow bloated, dirty, and rotten. Brothers and sisters have sex in the king's bed, and incestuous offspring dance in the palace to the flute of the deformed little monkey. Noble ladies adulte with clowns and give birth to horrors. !Even the Archbishop has become greedy!"

"Pride before prayer, maggots rule the castle, gold is everything...these must end! The summer of rot is coming to an end!"

The voice of this "prophet" became more and more high-pitched and passionate!The larger the crowd of onlookers,
"Look," he pointed at the comet and the castle, "that's a sign from heaven! The gods are crying out for us to purify ourselves, or we will be completely wiped out of the world!"

The people cheered loudly, and there were applause and applause all around!

"Cult!" Lynn pouted, "Anyone who attributes natural phenomena to man-made disasters is a cult!"

"I totally agree!" Tyrion nodded again and again, "But some of his claims are really hard to refute!"

"The king is hopeless, but who is the little monkey he is talking about?"

Lynn and Bronn looked at each other, then stared at Tyrion, but said nothing.

The little devil's expression changed from doubt, to astonishment, to anger!
Pointing at himself incredulously,

"Me? Why me, I'm saving them!"
