Chapter 230 Audience
Roger looked at the letter carefully.
He found that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful and coherent, and many words were written in one go, and the whole letter was not stained at all.
He thought that it was not easy to write a quill that was commonly used in this era.
Obviously, this letter was written by a master with rich writing experience.
Roger approached the parchment paper, and he didn't smell the usual smell of leather products, but there was a tulip floral scent.
He dared not hear too much, for fear of being poisonous.
He thought, what does this letter mean?
Literally, this is a warning letter admonishing Xiao Boximond not to visit him.
But if you really don’t go, it means not giving the deputy emperor face, which is equivalent to turning against each other.
Then don’t think about the seal of the letter.
But if it really looks like what the letter says, this is a trap.
Then the interview is like a life-threatening death, and there is no way to get a certificate of letter.
But Roger is not a person without judgment, he began to analyze.
Does the Deputy Emperor have any reason to frame Bosimund?
Roger felt that the only reason was that Boschmond Jr. was a Norman and the son of Boschmond.
Just as the Thessalonika hated the Normans, the Eastern Romans who had suffered a lot of Bosimund's suffering did indeed have the desire to take revenge.
But Roger knew that Bosimund and Emperor Alexius had signed the "Treaty of Devour".
The agreement was humiliating to Boschmond and almost meant his surrender.
The age of Deputy Emperor John must have known about this incident.
Is it necessary for him to go against his seriously ill father and kill the son of a "successful general"?
Roger did not fully believe John's reputation for "mercy" "never executed or maimed anyone."
But he felt that when there were competitors in the throne, when the old emperor was seriously ill, he violated the agreement signed by the old emperor.
No matter how you look at this, it is not a wise thing.
This is simply like saying: "What your ex did was wrong."
This is not much different from turning against the old emperor directly.
But John had no military power, so he could not afford to rebel.
That would mean automatically giving up the right to inherit the throne.
How could the old emperor pass the throne to a successor who does not recognize what he does.
A stone fell in Roger's heart.
He believed in his judgment and he did not think John would harm them.
Roger looked at the letter paper in his hand.
He thought, then this letter would be very interesting.
Seeing the aristocratic flavor in the font, he thought of the disagreement between John and the aristocrats.
He thought, this was a plan of disagreement.
If Xiao Boximond really doesn't go to see him, I believe the Deputy Emperor John would be very embarrassed.
At that time, the nobles will have an extra topic when they mock and ridicule John.
Roger felt that his thoughts were right.
He shook his hand and threw the letter paper into the trash can.
But then he picked up the letter paper and placed it on the desk.
Three days later, Roger took Little Bosimund, led by the Scarlet Officer, to the Grand Palace.
He brought Henk, Rinaldi and the maximum number of guards allowed by the Scarlet Officers.
Everyone was wearing gorgeous and exquisite clothes, but inside the clothes were long-sleeved chain mail.
If the sword on the waist is just looking at the scabbard, it should be a flashy ritual sword.
But in fact, the ones inserted inside are all their usual sharp Norman swords.
Roger didn't completely take the warning letter to heart.
He won't dare to go because he is afraid.
You will not make any preparations because you blindly believe others.
Danny was left in the barracks by him and commanded the troops for him.
Odin, Shana, and Zarro are also in the brigade they are in charge.
All the soldiers were told to be ready to fight at any time.
When Roger and his party passed through the Golden Gate, the officials in the blazing clothes asked them to dismount and walk.
Roger did not want to clash with soldiers on duty.
He chose to adapt to the situation rather than turn against each other directly.
So Roger will not act rashly until he has confirmed that Vice Emperor John has any actions that are unfavorable to them.
So everyone dismounted and walked into Kinmen.
Roger walked slowly along Messe Avenue.
He observed along the way and was very satisfied with his arrangement.
He saw a swordsman in plain clothes near the city gate, like a tourist or passerby, wandering around casually.
I saw a van full of fodder on the inconspicuous place beside them, on the roadside.
Coincidentally, the baggage truck broke down, and I don’t know if it was the horseshoe falling off or the wheels broke.
The coachman is repairing, but it seems that he can't repair it anyway.
There was a circle of idle men watching, but none of them came forward to help.
This is Roger's arrangement. The idle man and the coachman are both their own people, and there are swords and shields hidden under the straw.
He is ready to fight all the way if an accident occurs.
Roger walked to Augustus Square, covered with black marble.
To the south of the square is a large racing arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Roger saw that outside the north gate of the arena, there were many poor people gathered, and some nobles were distributing bread there.
He also saw that to the north of Augustus Square, the huge Hagia Sophia Cathedral, under the sunlight that had just climbed over the roof of the Grand Palace to the east, the shadows were drawn very long.
When Roger came to the center of the square, next to the "milion" sign representing the zero-mile distance of the Empire Highway.
Suddenly, a scream broke out among the poor people at the north gate of the arena.
Then someone shouted, "Murder!"
So the screaming poor people fled in scattered and scattered.
Like a flies scattered on the rotten meat.
Roger saw thugs mixed among the poor and beat and killed them everywhere.
He saw the noble who gave alms and bread, and sneered at the entrance of the arena.
Countless poor people were running around the Augustus Square, rushing around like headless flies.
The official in the blazing clothes was so scared that he hugged his head and ran away.
Roger wanted to hold him, but he ran too fast and Roger couldn't hold him.
Roger's guards drew out their swords at the first time and surrounded them, guarding Roger and Bosimund.
Roger discovered that the thugs did not come to attack his gang.
The thugs are more likely to use sticks and knives in their hands to greet the running poor people.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, a group of poor people were driven by the thugs and collided with Roger and his gang.
Roger coldly faced and gave a cold order: "Kill!"
Henk and Rinaldi, who were leading the charge, killed the scoundrels without hesitation on the spot.
Roger noticed that the escaped official was knocked down by an unknown poor man, and then stepped on by countless feet.
Roger saw him lying on the ground and stopped moving, blood oozing out of him, dyeing his scarlet clothes even more vivid.
Roger and his gang's defense circle soon surrounded the corpses.
The corpse's skin was blooming, its head was broken and its abdomen was opened, and its death was extremely miserable.
This greatly scared the running poor.
So even if the thugs drove them away, no one dared to run in Roger's direction.
