Chapter 193 Conspiracy and Conspiracy

"Colluding with the Ironborn?"

Surrounded by the four rock walls of the house, the surprised voice of the brown-haired young man Patrick sounded quite loud. Renly, who was in the presence of the old god, was startled by this and hurriedly motioned for the other party to be silent.

Patrick reacted immediately and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you have any evidence for this?"

"Of course not." Renly felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something, so he said helplessly: "This is just what I just said, where can I find evidence?"

"So you..." Patrick understood after hearing this: "You mean to frame the Frey family?"

"It can't be considered a frame-up." Renly replied: "Think about it, is this normal?"

"War situation?"

"That's right, the Iron Islands' fleet has been defeated, and the ironmen in Seaside City haven't left yet. Why? Even if they capture Seaside City, what's the point? It won't affect the overall situation at all."

Renly said: "To rob property and women? This is also useless. How much he robs now will be returned tenfold when the army goes to the Iron Islands - the current situation in Seaside City is tantamount to regardless of the consequences and the cost. The delay is of no benefit to the overall interests of the Iron People, but has many disadvantages.”

"My father couldn't understand their actions." Patrick nodded after hearing this: "In the end, I can only think that the leading ironborn is a madman, and so are the ironborn who followed him - but what does this have to do with the Frey family? ?”

"The actions of simple madmen are naturally incomprehensible, but if someone hires them, wouldn't it be more reasonable?" Renly reminded him: "Hiring them to deliberately delay time in order to achieve some unspecified purpose?"

Obviously, this Patrick also understood the situation and frowned after hearing this. His inner hatred for the Frey family made him instinctively want to believe this, but...

"This is just a guess." He replied: "It can't explain much."

"When we were attacked by the monster that day, we suddenly saw people from the Frey family." Renly heard this and added: "According to my observation, the Frey family territory is still a long way from where the monster appeared. Normally they wouldn't be there."

"They're hunting the monster," Patrick answered.

"But I found that they were not very enthusiastic about chasing the monster." Ren Li pointedly said: "They only shot one arrow before and after, and no one chased the monster after it ran away. It seems that No sign of worry at all.”

"You mean..."

"If there is no such thing as a monster, is it normal for the knights of the Frey family to go to your family's territory?"

"It's not normal, but maybe it's because of the war..."

"Yeah, because of the war, maybe they went there to contact the Ironborn? Hunting monsters was just a disguise?"

Patrick did not speak when he heard this, but lowered his head and thought.

It sounds like this is indeed what happened, or it sounds like the Frey family is indeed suspected. And if it is really the Frey family who colluded with the Ironborn, their motive has been revealed, which is to force themselves, or simply ask the Mallister family of Seaside City to disappear, and then covet the large vacated territory.

There was a motive, and there were signs of suspicion, but...

"We have no evidence and can't be sure that's the truth."

Patrick had subconsciously ignored Renly's age when he spoke, and his face looked solemn.

"If there is no evidence, then create evidence."

These words startled Patrick, and then he heard the boy say with a straight face: "Your Seaside City has been fighting with the Ironborn for so long, there should be a few Ironborn prisoners, right? Make some preparations, Hasn’t the evidence from the Ironborn come out? As for the Frey family... what do you think of that person from before?”

"Who?" Patrick asked blankly.

"That Dark Walder," Renly reminded him.

"He will go to the seven hells." Patrick replied without hesitation after hearing this: "Having an affair with your great-grandmother, no matter what the reason is, is very shameful."

"But he's a ready piece of evidence."

Renly said helplessly: "He lost his fiancée to Marquis Walder, and his fiancée was hanged by Marquis Walder. The brother who followed him was also expelled from the Frey family, and he himself was imprisoned in the dungeon, waiting for him My father executed him when he returned - do you think he might still have any loyalty to the Frey family? Or, do you think the old Marquis Frey still thinks he might have any loyalty? "

"so……"

Patrick understood, and his expression was a little moved, but then he shook his head decisively.

"No, we have no conclusive evidence to prove that the Frey family colluded with the Ironborn. It is really not an honorable matter to frame them for nothing. What's more, framed accusations cannot save Seaside City."

"It's not a false accusation." Renly said, "It's a threat."

"What difference does it make?"

Renly didn't say anything, but handed the other party a piece of parchment he had written on in advance.

When Patrick saw this, he took it and took a look at it. He found that what was written on it were all kinds of clues and false accusations from the previous conversation, but many unnecessary parts were omitted.

"This..." He was stunned.

"Go and rescue Black Wald from the dungeon, and then leave this in the dungeon or in your room. After you disappear without a trace with Black Wald, do you think the Twins City will How to react?"

"They will hunt us down, they will be angry, they will..." Patrick no longer had any words like honor in his mind at this time. Instead, he was moved by this plan, but then he frowned.

"But this letter is a handle."

"This is not written by you, the handwriting doesn't match, what handle is it?" Renly said: "I also said that this was deliberately forged by them to get rid of suspicion afterwards."

Patrick subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he held the letter and fell into deep thought again.

He had never thought of using this conspiracy to throw dirty water to threaten the Frey family before, but it seemed very likely to succeed at this time.

Telling the other party all the conspiracies and strategies, and then disappearing, is equivalent to directly launching a threat-

You don't know when I will run out of patience to thoroughly implement this plan to throw dirty water, or I am already on the way to implement this plan to throw dirty water. You may choose to send someone to intercept, but you can't tell whether you can find someone. You can't be sure who I will find to throw dirty water on you. Is it the Tully family, the feudal lord of the riverland? Or King Robert who is currently stationed in Lannister Harbor?

You can also ignore this threat and not take it seriously, but if Seamarsh is really breached by the Ironborn, then someone will have to take responsibility for it after the war, and there will always be cake to appease the people. Your Frey family was not very active when King Robert revolted, and was even more of a thorn in the eyes of the Tully family. In addition, my heir to Seamarsh and other evidences testify that this matter was not done by you.

You may hope that other nobles will stand up and speak for you?

But sorry, your Frey family has never had a good reputation in the noble circle, and if the war really ends, King Robert's reputation will surely rise to a higher level. It is not very wise to stand up and oppose at this time.

You say you are innocent? You may have evidence to prove your innocence -

How is this possible?

When that time comes, everyone hopes that you are not innocent, so how can you be innocent?

So, before I completely throw dirty water on you, why don't you send troops to reinforce Seaside City and wash away all the suspicion and consequences? Why stay at home? Waiting to die?

But...

"I can't rescue Black Walder from the dungeon of the Twins." Patrick's inner desire was replaced by dejection.

"Although the dungeon of the Twins is not well defended, I can't rescue anyone by myself."

Black Walder is an important link. It's not that it really needs to lure that person into the evidence camp that is opposite to the Frey family, but at least he must be rescued and then disappear with him. Only in this way can the threat be established, otherwise there is a lack of favorable "evidence".

However, how can he do it alone?

"Under normal circumstances, this is naturally difficult."

Renly nodded, and then tapped the surface of the wooden table in front of him with his fingers.

"But what if there is another flood outside the Twins?"

Patrick was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized it and stared at the boy's face with horror.
