Chapter 680 The Mill Incident

"Stranglers."

"It's clearly the effect of the strangler."

After a night of turmoil in Tyrosh's prison, they still found some clues.

A gray-haired old man opened his mouth tremblingly with a cane in his hand.

Although the free trade city-state does not have a bachelor, it has a doctor. This gray-haired old man is the leading doctor in Tyrosh, and he also has a lot of research on poisons.

He was invited by Lord Tairosi to identify the poison that all the prisoners who died of poisoning died from, and the old man recognized it at a glance when he came here. These people died of a very terrible kind of poison. Strong poison, strangling the dead.

Because the effect of killing people with a strangler is very obvious, the victim's face will appear as blue and purple as the poison, as if they were pinched by the neck and strangled or choked to death, so they were named "stranglers".

However, the obvious difference between strangulation and traumatic death is that the seven orifices bleed, and the amount of bleeding caused by poison is greater, and the death state is more tragic and terrifying.

"The cost of strangulation is high. It is made of a certain plant that only grows on the Yuhai Islands half a world away."

"Its leaves need to be left for a long time, then soaked in lime water, sugar juice and some precious spices from the Midsummer Isles, after which the leaves are discarded, ash is added to the potion to make it thick, and then it is left to crystallize."

"The process is slow and difficult, and the ingredients required are expensive, so the strangler doesn't come cheap."

"But there are many people in this world who can create strangulations. As far as I know, they include the alchemists of Lys, the Faceless of Braavos, and the academy you go to in Westeros."

The white-haired old man said in a trembling voice. After he finished speaking, he bowed and stepped back.

At this moment, the underground prison of Tyrosi is brightly lit, and the guards are holding torches high and guarding various places in the prison.

Because of the recent series of incidents, the high-level people in the city of Tairosi have become highly nervous, everyone is in danger, and the security forces around them have been improved. They are afraid that a group of people will suddenly rush out to assassinate themselves like what happened to Asha.

The torches of the underground world swayed slightly in the wind, illuminating people's cheeks. Now Lord Tyrosi and the messenger of the Iron Throne, Asha Greyjoy, are all gathered in the prison, discussing the whole thing calmly face to face. Ins and outs.

And after Asha had passed the night, her anger had subsided. After some thought and analysis with her uncle, she probably ruled out the suspicion of Lord Tailosi.

Unless he is crazy to kill the messenger of the Iron Throne in his own territory, such a blatant provocation will inevitably lead to a war.

Of course, another extreme possibility is not ruled out, using the inertia of human thinking to do the opposite.

Lord Tairosi secretly instructed his subordinates to kill himself, pretending to be framed, and then framed it to others, and then triggered a conflict between the Iron Throne and the other party, which was a tactic to drive away tigers and swallow wolves.

However, in the face of the invitation of Lord Tairosi, Asha still came, but this time she was accompanied by more than one guard instead of just one person.

"Master messenger, you have also heard it."

"This group of criminals died by strangulation."

After listening to the words of the old man who was proficient in medicine and poison, Lord Tairosi turned his head and looked at Asha with a round belly.

When we first met, Lord Talosi was a little rude, but in just one day, his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Because of Asha Greyjoy's tough stance, he blatantly ordered the capture of Tyrosh's port and asked him to explain. It also shocked Tyrosh's Maharaja, made him put down his discrimination against women, and couldn't help but glance at it. .

And it is reflected in the verbal respect, and the attitude is also lowered a lot. After all, the other party is a woman who will draw a knife if she disagrees.

"This thing was full of oddities from the start."

"Obviously someone intends to frame and frame the relationship between Tyrosh and the great emperor."

When the name of Viserys was mentioned, Lord Tairosi lowered his posture, even a little humble, with reverence in his words.

"As for the mastermind behind this incident, based on the information we have learned so far, I guess it should be Rees and Volantis."

"The alchemists of Rhys are well-known, and they are best at creating terrifying poisons."

"And for well-known reasons, Rhys also has good reasons to provoke the relationship between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh, because on the issue of the disputed land, both sides hope to win the support of His Majesty the Emperor's invincible army."

"If you die in Tyrosh, Lord Messenger, the relationship between the Iron Throne and Tyrosh will inevitably crack, and even cause a war, and Reese will benefit from it."

From the point of view of the beneficiary, there is no problem in analyzing it. Maharaja Tyrosi is not hereditary but can take this position through a series of elections, just like the sea king of Braavos, so Maharaja Tyrosi is naturally not a waste.

He held his stomach in front of Asha and talked eloquently, and took advantage of the situation to point the finger at the other two opponents.

Needless to say, Reese, the sisters of the Three Sisters Kingdom are now enemies, especially after the fall of Myr, they have become tit-for-tat between Tyrosh and Reese.

As the overlord of the southwestern region of Essos, Volantis has a very strong army, and he is also an invader who has invaded Tyrosh. Now he is still ambitious and coveted more land. Naturally, it is Tai Losey's arch-enemy.

Nowadays, every time Volantis shows interest in the disputed land, it even makes Reese and Tyrosi temporarily put aside their fight and agree to the outside world.

"As for Volantis, it's also very suspicious."

"Because according to the confession of the jailer we caught, he claimed that a man with a flame scar on his face who spoke with a Volantis accent gave him the poison and told him to poison everyone and kill them. "

The words of Lord Tairosi caused suspicion in the eyes of the Iron Seeds present, including Asha.

Now that the evidence is in front of us, coupled with the sworn assurances of Lord Tyrosh, it's hard not to believe that this is a frame-up operation, because if the Iron Throne and Tyrosh conflict, Rhys and Volantis the direct beneficiary.

However, it is not yet clear who actually attacked the messenger of the Iron Throne, and they have no direct evidence.

But when Asha returned to the port, the blockade on the port of Tyrosh was ordered to be lifted.

However, at this time, an explosive news from the outside world quickly spread throughout the streets of Tyrosh.

The pirate governor of Myr held a meeting under the pretext of holding a meeting, but he led his subordinates to attack the other two governors in the street and killed them directly. Now the pirates under his command have completely controlled the entire building built from the ruins. up Mil.

Coincidentally, this happened at the same time that Asha ordered the blockade of the port of Tyrosh.
