Chapter 228 In Public Opinion

At the King's House, Milan came to Lynn to report the situation.

"Sir, the identity of the cult leader, Big Sparrow, has been checked."

Lynn was lying comfortably on a rattan chair and opened a collection of King's Landing that Milan sent people to read. The book records most of the Targaryen family from Dragonstone Island to the establishment of King's Landing, and the vast number of little-known secrets in the past 300 years that ruled the Westeros. It can be called an encyclopedia of the old kingdom.

Not long after his order arrived in the northern border, the Gripen Legion needed to make the final adjustment and change defense before organizing the south. Lin En had nothing to do in the past two days and was very popular in reading.

Holding this old book that was a little old, licking his thumb carefully, slowly turning a page of parchment paper connected by needles and threads. Lynn looked up at Milan and found that this time the beauty Brinie was also here, and the burly woman almost covered Milan.

Lynn chuckled, "Oh? I found something, let's hear it."

"I took people to the Mud Waterway to observe the giant sparrow from afar. The giant sparrow looked very ordinary and was very inconspicuous among the poor. At that time, Brienne recognized him first. When he was escorting James Lannister in the river, he encountered the giant sparrow leading a team of sparrow companions, pulling several carts of the corpses of monks and nuns who were killed in the Battle of the Five Kings."

Lynn glanced at the female knight beauty Brinny, who had no expression, "Brenny, have you ever seen a big sparrow, have you ever had an intersection with that person?"

"I had a sentence of fate. The giant sparrow team transported the bodies of six large carts. At that time, I stopped me and asked about the way to the city of Benliu." Brennie answered frankly.

Lin En closed the book and was intrigued, "Oh? Then how do you answer?"

"I saw that the bodies of the dead soldiers were stripped of valuable things, and the armor, weapons and even valuable cloaks were stripped away. I guessed that the group was plundering money in the name of the believers, so I had no interest."

Lynn asked, "How did you answer him?"

Brinie's face paused. Faced with the fact that she finally found a loyal lord who could ask in person, she could only answer very seriously and honestly: "I said, I am not your mother, do you need to guide you where the way forward?"

Lynn laughed.

After laughing, he pointed at Milan again and said, "You found the big sparrow, what about later?"

"Later, we followed the clues and found out that after the previous archbishop was killed, the archbishops entered the election process to see who could be elected as the new archbishop. During the election of the archbishops, the Big Sparrow and his believers, the Sparrows, raised their axes and carried countless gold and silver on their shoulders to rush into the venue, and forced other bishops to either choose themselves with the golden dragon and silver deer, or they would be defeated by the death. The fearful archbishops surrendered and chose the Big Sparrow as the new archbishop."

Milan said, looking up at Lynn, and found that the lord did not react much to it, so he continued: "After taking office, the great sparrow began to sell all the gold crowns (including the Archbishop's crystal crown) and gorgeous clothes, and plundered the treasures accumulated by the church over hundreds of years. On the surface, it was said that the money obtained was used to buy food for the sparrows and the poor. He even wore a simple wool robe and asked other monks to wear them in this way.

In fact, his little gift was not worth much money at all. The Big Sparrow arranged his confidant to hoard a large amount of treasures, and it is speculated that the total number may reach hundreds of thousands of golden dragons. And this does not include the nearly one million golden dragon debts that the Royal Family owed to the church over the years."

Lin En narrowed his eyes, and a disgusting and fierce look burst out in his eyes for a moment, but in just a moment, his face returned to normal.

"You're doing a good job, Milan, so now you can investigate where this big sparrow hides this golden dragon. I think it's very abnormal to have so much money as a bishop. He might use this money to do a big thing."

"Sir, now the sparrows have begun to attack the former bishops of the Seven Gods Church. Many bishops paraded naked on the streets for being prostitutes and even raising male pets. Now the former bishops of the Seven Gods Church are all frightened, afraid that the crazy sparrows will come to him, and at this time they will break through from the inside."

Lynn nodded, "Go and do it, grab the sparrow's painful feet, but don't act rashly. During the period when the Gripen Legion headed south, we also have to find some things for the great men of the King's Landing from the inside."

Inside the Red Fort.

Cersei Lannister led the Lannister's guards out of the suspension bridge north of Megha Tower, and soon met Marin and his party who were ordered to escort the sparrow.

Seeing the empress dowager greeting each other, the imperial guards jumped off their horses one after another. The guards in the white cloak quickly took aside and gave out the thin old man wrapped in the middle of the team.

Cersei waved away from the Royal Guard, leaving only the Lannister guard with a red cloak beside her. She walked forward slowly and looked up at the old man.

"You're that big sparrow?"

"This is the name my enemies arranged for me. I didn't call it a sparrow."

Cersei didn't say a word and looked at the big sparrow for a moment. She didn't want to ask about the old man's name. She even felt that the name of the sparrow was very suitable for this old guy.

Looking at the giant sparrow with a calm face and no intention of saluting, Cersei continued to ask unhappily: "Why don't you wear shoes?"

"Shoes have been given to those who need them more, and the poor lack anything."

Cersei frowned, "Don't tell me, just because you gave the poor shoes, they would have the courage to surround the gates of Red Fort."

The big sparrow did not answer and asked with a chuckle, "Are you looking for yourself because of the recent rumors about Junlin?"

Cersei looked at the old man calmly and didn't make any noise. He almost burst into flames in her eyes. She tried hard to restrain her emotions. Now she doesn't have much willful capital in King's Landing. Her father Tywin has no longer looked down on her and even planned to let her marry a junior of the Tyrier family to squeeze out the last trace of value in her.

Seeing the bronze gate of Red Fort in front of the Imperial Road slowly closing, Cersei's face turned cold and silent. Although the bronze gate was strong, there were thousands of crazy poor people outside the door.

She is a little sensible.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Cersei blew up and asked coldly in her mouth.

"It's very simple. The church can not only push public opinion but also make it disappear instantly. The church can even publicly declare its support for the Queen Mother's son Toman I, and at the same time cancel the royal family's debt of nearly one million golden dragons to the church... As long as you allow the Archbishop to reorganize the armed forces of the church."
