Chapter 13 "The Story of Reynard the Fox" Reynard the Fox Sentenced to Hanging

Whether Reynard should be sentenced, Lion Nobre was undecided.Public opinion, however, was against Reynard. Everyone, except perhaps Granbell, resented him because they had all had something to do with him.As long as one person takes the lead in making a complaint, it will arouse the sympathy of others. Reynard waited for the verdict tremblingly, without showing any sign of indifference. Suddenly, he felt something brush past him.He looked down and found Mouse Boller standing in front of him, looking at him slyly. "Things are bad, Reynard," said Poehler informally. "They've decided to kill you."

"But they haven't taken my life yet," said Reynard. "Then how are you going to escape?" the mouse asked curiously. "It's a secret, a wonderful secret," said Reynard. "Perhaps you want to know? Come, come here, and I'll tell you quietly, and only you, because only you care about my fate." Believed to be true, Pole went all the way to Reynard's side.Reynard fox killed him with one mouthful. The murder was first seen by Muffral the vulture, who immediately screamed and all those present except himself were attacked. People soon saw the body of the mouse Boller, because he was not eaten by Reynard's fox.

This new crime by the fox caused a strong uproar.This is probably the last time Reynard Fox committed a murder, because the lion Noble made a decisive decision in front of this innocent victim: "Hang him!" he said, pointing to Reynard. Reynard knew he was done. Ethan Grande got up at once and said that he had seen a tree in the nearby woods that would make a good gallows. Breen also immediately volunteered to act as Ethan Grand's assistant during the execution. However, Thibbel should also be included.Tibell, on the other hand, seemed very cautious and did not want to get involved in this matter.Seeing that Reynard was sentenced to hang, he felt that he had vented his resentment against him, and he didn't want to do it himself.

However, he was called by everyone to tie the noose, because he was the best at climbing trees.Tibell had to go to the tree pointed out by Ethan Grandin and tie the rope. Reynard Fox was about to be executed.At this time, he said that he would leave his last words to the king's priest Beran. Beran stood majestically a little further away opposite him.Madame Fier stood beside him, curious to hear what Reynard had to say. "I think," said Reynard, in a not very deep voice, "that I would like to leave to my children a treasure which I have preserved. I would have hoped that it would be put to better use, or at least more widely. I want to dedicate it to my king for the benefit of the country.

"However, since my children will be young after my death, and none of them will be able to earn a living, this wealth will be needed. "Therefore, I would like to share this secret with my tender wife, Amolina..." "Wait a minute, a moment," said the King, after Mrs. Fierre's motion for the King's attention, "what are you talking about, Reynard? I seem to hear you talking about treasures?" "Ah, Your Majesty," said Reynard, "to be honest, this is a unique treasure that I have carefully preserved. Just telling it will hurt many people."

"Who is involved? My God!" "Broken my biological father, and my relatives and friends. It is for this reason that I dare not dedicate it to you for a long time. "It is painful to my gentle nature to brag, and it is still more painful to tell your Majesty how I saved your Majesty from those hideous plots." "What?" Madame Fiere exclaimed excitedly. "A conspiracy? A conspiracy against us?" "Against the king, madam. Fortunately I have thwarted the plot, and thus saved the king's life." "Who planned this conspiracy?" Noble asked.

"Oh, my lord, my father was one of them. It should be said that the fault was caused by his discovery of the treasure. This treasure originally belonged to King Emerik, and it caused my father to abandon his soul. "So he became so arrogant, thinking that he was number one in the world. "He wants--forgive your Majesty--to make a new king. One who has no morals like yours, and will have to be at his mercy. The king he wants to elect is the arrogant braggart Buren. "Isangran and Tiber were sent to negotiate. The first thing they have to do is to kill the reigning king..."

"My God!" interrupted Madame Fiel, "they're going to kill my husband! Reynard, is that what you mean?" "Exactly, ma'am. Slay Noble the Lion, and usurp his throne. "However, it costs a lot of money to do it. It costs money to kill people, and it costs money to establish a new king, because it is a terrible thing that everyone will know. "At first I was ignorant of the plot. One day I saw my tender wife, Amolina, coming home nervous, frightened by something she had just heard. "Ethan Grande's wife, Mrs. Essante, failed to keep this secret, she leaked a few words to Emmelina, and Emmelina told me.

"Faced with this, what should I do? "Your Majesty, I am weak and have little power. But I will save the honor of my king, my country, and my family. "Therefore, I thought, the best way would be to eliminate the indispensable condition of his success, which is money. But the secret of money is hidden, and how can it be found? "My father—may God forgive him—knew that I was so loyal to His Majesty that he kept me a secret of his plans. "However, one day, when I was lying in a wood covered with leaves and thinking about how to get this treasure, I suddenly saw my father. He was hiding in a panic, and even my other eye Before he could see it, he suddenly got into a bush. However, I immediately made a mark in that place.

"I waited a while and did not go after him. I did not want to humiliate him by letting him know that I knew his infamy. "He quickly came out of the hole again, blocked the hole, wiped out all traces, and disappeared. "This time I made up my mind. I already knew the place where the treasure was hidden, and I had the key to defeating this conspiracy. I went back there that night. According to the marks I made, I found the entrance and walked all the way to the buried treasure. place of treasure. "The treasure was so great that I had to spend a night with great effort running up and down to remove it. Next morning I hid it in another safe place where no one could find it.

"It has never been found since. The conspiracy was in vain for lack of means. My father died shortly afterwards. His career fell into my hands. "Before this, he had gathered all the conspirators, bears, wolves, tabby cats, foxes, badgers, etc., a total of hundreds of people. People loyal to your country also came. The conspirators want Buy them with money and ask them to change their original positions. "When everything was discussed and an agreement was reached, and the payment was about to be made, my father came. His face was ashamed and his head was downcast, saying that the treasure was missing. "They had labored in vain, and were indescribably annoyed. All the rebels fired at the man who did not count, my father. A short time later he was found hanged in the woods. No one I don't know whether this is his own despair, or the result of others' revenge. "I have wept bitterly over the death of my poor father. I may say this, Your Majesty, and the only consolation I have had is that I have saved your Majesty's life." The king thought for a while, and then secretly agreed with Mrs. Fier. "All of this requires evidence," he said at last. "But, Reynard, can you tell me where the treasure is?" "Of course," said Reynard, "I know the location, because I hid it myself. If I die, no one will know the secret. "But, my lord, that is another question. What shall my wife and children do if they lose this income? "Despite my services, Sire, you have condemned me to death. I accept the sentence." "But," said Lion Noble, "this judgment was made before you said all that. Everything can be changed in light of the present circumstances." "All I want is this wealth. I will—why not?—save your life for this wealth, to expand my kingdom." "I never advocated your execution, Reynard. It must be said that this sentence was forced. "This treasure and the loyalty you have shown just now are completely worth your pardon. This," said the king, standing up solemnly, "is the opinion of me and my wife, Mrs. Fierre." Mrs. Fiere nodded in agreement. "Therefore," continued Lion Noble, "I think you will have no further objections. I have granted your wish to offer me the treasure. Now, give it to me!" "I think, Your Majesty," replied Reynolds, who scratched his neck, which always seemed to be tied with a rope, "I think one must be more careful in doing this. "This treasure, I have already told you, is of an astonishing magnitude. Do you think it wise to let the whole court know of its whereabouts? "Bren the Bear, Ethangran the Big Bad Wolf, not to mention Tibble the Cat, they have long wanted to possess it. Don't you think they will spread rumors and attack you like they attacked me?" "Reynard," replied the king, "I think you are quite right. Still, I should be informed of further information concerning the treasure. "Perhaps I can send two of my henchmen to you and ask them to bring me back some solid evidence..." "Your Majesty, this is your high opinion." Reynard said, "For the sake of safety, this matter should only be known to these three people." "Very well," said the king happily. "In this way, they will also get a little more of those precious gold and jewels you mentioned." Therefore, he decided to send the sheep Beran and the rabbit Rump to accompany Reynard Fox home, and he wanted to use his pockets to bring back the real evidence of the treasures that saved Reynard Fox's life.
