When the lords returned the two signed contracts to Gao Yuan, Count Yohn Royce was still immersed in grief. Under this atmosphere of grief and indignation, all the princes present chose

There was silence, and no one raised objections or objections to Gao Yuan.

Although most of the terms stipulated in these two contracts were proposed by them, it is always difficult to satisfy people's hearts. Greed is human nature. Looking around at the canyon princes, Gao Yuan can be sure that there are still some among them.

I want to put forward more conditions to myself.

The reason why they didn't bring it up now was just because of the sad atmosphere at the scene and their unwillingness to offend Earl Yohn. The Royce family in Runestone City can be regarded as the top family in this canyon. Yohn

The earl also has a very wide network of contacts in the valley. At this time, offending the other party for a small gain is really not worth the gain.

"Lord Gao Yuan, thank you for helping Weimar fulfill his last wish; thank you for bringing me the news about my son, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark at this time." Count Yohn, with red eyes, raised his head and stared closely.

He looked at Gao Yuan and thanked him, "I now understand why you handed me the red wine."

"Earl Yohn, these are what I should do. After all, Sir Weimar and I were once comrades in arms." Gao Yuan said solemnly, "Sir Weimar Royce is my only one on this continent.

One of the bravest knights I have ever seen, he fought until the very end. As a member of the Night's Watch who died in battle, his honor and selfless devotion to duty surpassed anyone else's."

"The summer red from Dorne, I can't find a better wine on this continent to pay homage to and pay tribute to the sacrifice of Ser Waymar Royce." Gao Yuan raised a bottle filled with red liquid in his hand.

Goblet: "To Ser Waymar Royce!"

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, the princes in the study imitated Gao Yuan's actions and raised their wine glasses, shouting Sir Weimar's name in unison: "To Sir Weimar Royce..."

Everyone raised their heads and drank up the summer red in their wine glasses...

"Thank you again! Lord Gao Yuan..." Count Yohn Royce swallowed the fruit-flavored wine with difficulty. The summer red that originally tasted sweet was as bitter as tansy water in his mouth, "Come and let me

Just sign that contract and don't let grief delay our business today..."

Bronze Yoen signed his name on the two scrolls without hesitation. He didn't even take a look at the dense clauses and agreements in the contract. He was not worried that Gao Yuan would play tricks on the contract. Once his

The princes and colleagues have already reviewed the above content; secondly, he now completely trusts Gao Yuan.

After everyone signed the contract, the scroll was divided into two parts by Gao Yuan, and one part was given to Count Yohn Royce for safekeeping; while the other part was rolled up and put into Gao Yuan's arms.

"Now, you can begin to tell your secrets and true purpose." Countess Waynwood urged.

Gao Yuan first raised a big question to the canyon princes: "Lords, do you really think that Lord Jon died of intestinal disease?"

"Lord Jon was already seventy-three years old when he died..." Earl Redford reminded, "It would not be surprising to die of any disease at this age, and besides, Lord Jon was always a child of Ke before his death.

Under the care of the maester, he has personally confirmed to us that Lord Jon is suffering from intestinal disease."

"The poor maester is still blaming himself. He always believed that it was the bloodletting and detoxification treatment he adopted that killed Lord Jon." Bronze Yohn added.

"Intestinal disease does not make a person seriously ill in just two weeks. As far as I know, Lord Jon's health has always been very good before this, and can even be called strong." Gao Yuan analyzed, "I was once in Bravo

Having lived in Sri Lanka for a while, I do know a poison that can kill people like an intestinal disease."

"What kind of poison is that? I have never heard of poisons that can kill people like intestinal diseases on the other side of the strait?" Countess Wenwood asked curiously, "Even the learned bachelors can't see it.

, more than one maester has diagnosed Lord Jon."

"Tears of Lys!" Gao Yuan replied, "This is a very rare and expensive poison in Braavos. Its taste is as sweet as water. It can be dissolved in wine or water. It cannot be smelled or tasted.

Out. By disturbing the intestines and stomach, people will die quickly, as if suffering from intestinal disease, without leaving any traces."

"This is just your speculation. You don't have any evidence to prove that Lord Jon Arryn was murdered." Bronze Yohn still couldn't believe that Jon Arryn was murdered.

"Lord Jon Arryn has served as the Prime Minister of King's Landing for fourteen years. During this period, he has been conscientious and uncontested. He is also an amiable and trustworthy person. What has he done to force those behind the scenes to have to

Can’t we kill him?”

"There are too many people worthy of suspicion, maybe because Lord Jon knows too much; or maybe he blocks the way of some people, so they have to risk getting rid of him." Gao Yuan guessed wildly, "

It’s also possible that someone wants to use Lord Jon’s death to gain access to some of their own ulterior secrets.”

Earl Redford's voice was trembling: "Since Lord Gao Yuan and Lord Stark have begun to act secretly, you must have a suspect at this moment! Who actually murdered Lord Jon?"

"Both Lord Eddard Stark and I have reason to suspect that the two siblings from the Lannister family are the real culprits behind this." Gao Yuan gradually lowered his voice, "We suspect that the pair from the Lannister family

The twins not only murdered Lord Jon Arryn in King's Landing; they also pushed Lord Stark's second son, Bran Stark, back from the tower in Winterfell, causing him to remain in a coma until now.

In the middle, life and death are unpredictable."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have to say that your and Lord Stark's guesses are very bold! Accusing the current queen without any evidence, no wonder you are so cautious

." Bronze Yohn stood up and said, "The Kingslayer Jaime Lannister is the old lion Lord Tywin's heart. If we accidentally leak the news or alert the enemy, then it will definitely set off a war in the Seven Kingdoms.

New waves.”

Bronze Jon looked around at the people in the room, and his voice had never been so stern and solemn: "Although we have all signed the contract, I still have to issue a warning to my colleagues. If we are in this study today, we

If the things discussed are leaked, other lords and I will join forces to condemn and severely punish the leaker and the family behind him."

"Does King Robert know all this?" Bronze Yohn asked worriedly. To be honest, he was very worried about King Robert's safety at the moment. Now Robert Baratheon's pillowman used poison to murder his most trusted person.

The adoptive father and right-hand man wants to get the queen and the Lannister family behind her.

Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon both grew up in the canyon. As the adopted sons of Jon Arryn, they naturally have a very close relationship with these canyon lords. And Yohn Rowe

Earl of Yis is the one who has the best relationship with the two brothers among the canyon princes. It is understandable that he is so concerned about the safety of the king at this moment.

"Earl Yohn, even you just thought that the guesses made by Lord Stark and I were very bold." Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, "Do you think we will rashly accuse the queen and the others to King Robert without any evidence?"

"Isn't this just trying to scare someone away and looking for death!"

"Lord Gao Yuan, please forgive my curiosity!" Countess Waywood asked curiously, "What is the reason that makes you and Lord Stark suspect that all this was done by the Queen and the Kingslayer?"

"It's not that I'm questioning the judgment of you and Lord Stark, it's just that I'm worried that behind the scenes, there's another black hand manipulating all of this!" Years of experience as a lord told Countess Waywood that this matter might not be that serious.

Simple, "Firstly, King Robert's right-hand man was eliminated, and then he instigated the Wolf family and the Lion family to fight. It was too coincidental that all of this happened."

Countess Waynwood's political sensitivity amazed Gao Yuan. Even Gao Yuan only understood the plot of Littlefinger Petyr Baelish after being familiar with the plot. And the old man in front of him was

The widow lord, but only through simple connections between several events, made a guess that was almost close to the truth.

"Mrs. Anya, there is nothing to forgive. In the absence of absolute evidence, Lord Stark and I's guesses are just guesses." Gao Yuan said calmly, "This is not an indubitable truth.

Everyone has the right to know every detail and the whole story."

"This starts with why Lady Lysa took Duke Robert and fled from King's Landing back to the valley overnight after Lord Jon's death." Gao Yuan began to tell the princes of the valley about Ed and the others' speculations, "Many people have

I think Lady Lysa is being suspicious when she escapes King's Landing overnight, and I believe all the lords here are no exception."

"People say that Lady Lysa began to become neurotic after experiencing five miscarriages in King's Landing." Gao Yuan shook his head, "The sudden death of Lord Jon Arryn became the last thing that overwhelmed this poor woman.

A straw."

"But Lord Stark and I don't think so!"

"Because after Lady Lysa returned to the Eyrie, she sent a secret letter to her sister in Winterfell in the north. In that secret letter, she told Lady Catelyn that Jon El

Lord Lin was murdered by the Lannister twins." Gao Yuan said swornly, "So we have reason to believe that Lady Lysa knew the truth about Lord Jon Arryn's murder. She was afraid of being murdered by the Lannister family.

After killing people and silencing them, I chose to take Duke Robert and escape from King's Landing overnight."

"This is simply too terrible. Lady Lysa has never mentioned this matter to us, let alone the secret letter sent to Winterfell. No wonder she refused King Robert's suggestion and sent Robert to Winterfell."

Lord Burd was sent to Casterly Rock as Tywin Lannister's adopted son. Isn't this sending my Lord Jon's only son to the pit of fire?" Ser Nestor Royce exclaimed, "No wonder she will

It has become so suspicious that even those of us, the Lords of the Rift, who once swore allegiance to Lord Jon, don’t believe it.”

"The plight of Lady Lysa is indeed worthy of our sympathy." Bronze Yohn sighed, "But her current state is no longer suitable for ruling the canyon, whether it is for the peace and stability of the canyon, or to make the truth of the matter known to the world,

Uncover the mastermind behind the murder of Lord Jon and Lord Stark's second son."

"Lord Gao Yuan! Do you and Lord Stark have any plans? In order to investigate the truth of the matter, what are you going to do in the valley?" Count Yohn Royce looked at Gao Yuan, "No matter what your plan is, we

The lords of these canyons will fully support you!"

"I found some doubts in this series of events." Gao Yuan said, "That is that the secret letter sent by Lady Lysa to Winterfell followed the king's team to the north. And the king's

There are no people from the valley following the team, which means that the letter was sent from King's Landing."

"Just as Lady Anya suspected, I guess there is something hidden in this. Either Lady Lysa had arranged all this before she left King's Landing; or this letter was written by someone behind the scenes to force Lysa to

The lady wrote it or forged it to stir up conflict between the Lannisters and the Starks."

"I accepted King Robert's appointment and came to the East for several main purposes: First, to investigate the origin of this secret letter, whether it was written by Lady Lysa herself, and whether it was coerced by others.

"

"Secondly, it is to obtain the support of all the canyon lords and provide support for Lord Eddard Stark who is investigating the truth of the matter in King's Landing."

"The last thing is to take care of the orphans and widowers left behind by Lord Jon Arryn after his death. Lord Eddard Stark attaches great importance to the growth and safety of his nephew, Lord Robert."

"Originally, Lord Stark proposed to King Robert that Lord Robert should be his adopted son, just like Lord Jon Arryn raised him. But this proposal was rejected by King Robert.

I refused, so I had to use this method to take care of Duke Robert." Gao Yuan explained.

"Lord Gao Yuan, after you investigate the origin of the secret letter, what are you going to do?" Count Holden Redford stood up tremblingly: "If the secret letter is indeed written by Lady Lysa, or maybe

It was forged by the mastermind behind the scenes."

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment after hearing the words: "Mrs. Caitlin told me that only she and Mrs. Lysa knew the secret text in the secret letter. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that this secret letter was indeed written by Lady Lysa. The difference is that Madam Lysa was in the office at the time.

Did you do it voluntarily or not when you wrote that secret letter?"

"No matter what the origin of the letter is, after what happens here, I will take people to King's Landing." Gao Yuan has already thought about his next plan, "I will work with Lord Ed Stark in King's Landing, one by one.

Yin, we jointly began to investigate the truth of this series of events, looking for conclusive evidence to convict the mastermind behind the scenes."

Just after Gao Yuan announced his next plan, Bronze Yohn stood up and objected: "Lord Gao Yuan, King Robert has appointed you as the Guardian of the East!"

"The duty of the Guardian of the Eastern Territory is to protect the Eastern Territory from foreign invasion. Theoretically, you can only lead the soldiers of the Eastern Territory to sit in the valley. You cannot leave your territory without permission if necessary, otherwise the king will be punished as absent without permission.

Punish you for the crime."

Gao Yuan retorted loudly: "I have promised Lord Stark that I will go to King's Landing to support him after taking over the position of Guardian of the East. I can't helplessly watch Lord Stark, who is weak and weak, alone in King's Landing.

Facing those wolves and tigers alone."

"As for the responsibility of the Warden of the East, when I go to King's Landing, Ser Nestor Royce will perform it on my behalf. He has performed this task on Lord Jon's behalf for fourteen years, and I believe he will not let me down.

"." Gao Yuan made arrangements for his trip to King's Landing, "King Robert is planning to hold a tournament in the name of Lord Stark in order to celebrate the appointment of the new prime minister. I will lead the lords of the canyon to join us."
