"Kill him!"
"Hang this damn murderer, swordsman!"
"May the old gods curse him and let Davin suffer in hell!"
"Let the crow peck at his eyes, and the wolf rip at his body!"
Seeing Davin, the murderous criminal who was brought up on the high platform and tied with a noose, the people present immediately boiled over, yelling and cursing with anger and resentment on their faces.
The children kept throwing small stones towards the high platform, hitting Davin, who was paralyzed like a dead dog.
Especially those women and old women, perhaps empathizing with the victim, the woman named Mira , surrounded her and scolded the criminal in the most vicious language.
The scene was chaotic, and the 4,000 people were shouting abuse and yelling.
Jason Liu, who had already taken one foot and was about to speak on the high stage, stopped immediately.
Forget it, let these angry people vent first, and then go up himself when they are quieter.
The shouting at the scene lasted for more than ten minutes. Jason Liu really didn't want to wait any longer. He asked the soldiers to go to the crowd to maintain order and calm the angry people a little.
Finally, the people were full of gratitude and reverence for Lord Jason. Seeing that the soldiers of the East family were going to them to listen to Lord Jason in silence for a while, everyone quickly shut their mouths.
Even the children threw away the stones and mud in their hands under the scolding of the adults. Ah, and be careful not to hit the adult Jason who was on the high platform later—it would not be good.
Jason Liu, under the escort of Dicken, Kent, Chris, and Rubin, carefully avoided the stones and mud that the children had brought up on the ground, and finally stood on the high platform.
The four fully-armed guards stood two meters apart from each other in the four corners around him, protecting him in the middle. If there was any emergency, they would immediately protect Mr. Jason and hide him in the queue of soldiers behind them.
Nearly 300 soldiers from the logging camp had all assembled, led by Jon, McCann, Marb, and Bud, lined up to surround the execution platform and prevent the crowd from approaching the high platform.
Jason Liu was dressed in a black cashmere sweater, gray pants, moccasins with fine fabrics, and a furry smooth black bearskin cape behind him. This was all native to Westeros. It was Lena, Martha, and Susan who had made them for him.
Although Jason Liu still thought modern down jackets and sweaters were more comfortable to wear, he couldn't dismiss the kindness of the women, so he usually wore what they made.
Fortunately, it was Martha and the others who had measured him personally, and the clothes fit him well.
The slightly cold north wind blew past, stroking the bearskin cloak behind Jason Liu's back, making him feel a little cold.
He looked solemn at the northern villagers who were crowded together and rarely quieted down. His eyes swept across the people present, and from their relatively healthy and rosy faces, he saw respect, fear, anger, unease, gratitude, flattery, and more.
He stood on the high platform, facing the more than 4,000 people who were watching him silently in front of him, without speaking for a long time.
He didn't speak, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more depressed.
The whispering voices that still existed in the crowd below gradually disappeared, and the entire open space in front of the cafeteria was so silent that apart from the occasional coughing sound, no other sound could be heard.
The depressing atmosphere was contagious, and even the soldiers around felt the coldness of the atmosphere. All their young faces tightened, staring sternly at all the villagers in front of them.
Even Jon, Marb, McCann, and Bud couldn't help but panic, and deeply felt the arrogant side of Lord Jason.
All of a sudden, the image of Jason Liu seemed to become taller and more majestic in their hearts.
I'm afraid that only the direwolf, who was quietly squatting beside Jon, was the most relaxed. Its red eyes looked around curiously, and it was not affected by the depressing atmosphere of the scene at all.
This simple method of not speaking and only responding in silence had created such a successful atmosphere that Jason Liu himself was stunned and speechless.
Well, that's right, it's not that Mr. Jason is suppressing his anger as everyone imagined; the storm is coming soon.
In fact, Jason Liu thought too highly of himself. When he was below, he had thought of many impassioned words with confidence, ready to take the stage to rage against criminals in front of everyone and deter them from committing crimes and doing evil.
But when he stood on the high platform and faced more than 8,000 eyes staring at him, he only felt that his mind was blank, and the speech he had thought of was instantly forgotten. In fact, addressing a group of people made him panic.
"Damn, I had already prepared the draft of the speech below, but after I got on the stage with so many people watching, I forgot the prepared draft at once. How could I fix this?"
Waiting anxiously, very urgent!
In order not to show that he forgot his words, Jason Liu could only frantically use his brain to think of something temporarily, while trying to put on a serious and indifferent expression on his face.
That's why the people who didn't know what was going on really thought that their leader was so angry that he couldn't express it.
The scene fell into a strange silence for nearly ten minutes. Jason Liu finally gave up his previous long speeches and decided to say a few words honestly and get off the stage as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he was worried that even if he stood until tomorrow morning, he would not be able to think of those generous statements from before.
"I have formulated strict laws before, and all who dare to violate them, whether they are workers, old people, children, or my soldiers and officers, I will ruthlessly and impartially enforce the law and punish the perpetrators—"
The people below and the soldiers of the East family heard that Master Jason finally spoke after being silent for a long time. They felt the gloom in their hearts dissipate, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Jason Liu didn't know his unintentional mistake had actually created a majestic and unpredictable image for himself.
At this moment, he just wanted to quickly finish his speech and get off the stage. "Now, someone violates the law I set, blatantly insults women, kills children; this is a sin that the old and new gods cannot tolerate.
The Earl, in the name of Jason East of the East family, announces that Davin, who committed the felony of assaulting a woman and murder, will be hanged and executed immediately!"
With that said, he turned to look at the soldiers next to the gallows, raised his hand and waved it down.
Creak—
The soldiers were ordered to pull back the rope with all their strength.
