Chapter XXIII: The Secrets of the Oxford Regulations
William sighed and said: "Listening to you say so much, it seems that I have no choice, Garris, then I will be considered a gang now."
"Of course, even if you don't want to join the family, the Grand Duke has persuaded the disheartened Earl that tomorrow the Earl of Oxford will go to the Noble Council to register you as his heir, and it will be reported in the media, these are all things arranged by Henry, you can't accept it if you want to accept it or not," Garris said to William with a smile
"Dizzy, are you in such a hurry to put the title on my head?, what is there in me that you fancy to me, or are you scrupling about something?"
William asked the question in his heart, he didn't really believe that these people didn't have any requirements for him, and he was determined to be a good person, and he didn't think that he was a pig's foot and had the spirit of a king to lean on him.
Garris Mallory thought about it and decided to tell William
"The Statute of Oxford in 1258 has always been kept by the Earl of Oxford, and Henry never told anyone that the statute was there before he died, he only asked us to guarantee that you could inherit the title smoothly, and you could find the statute, we have been looking for it for 10 years and have not found it, which is a test for you."
"If I don't find it, what will happen to you, will you be angry and kill me," William asked nervously
Garris Mallory looked at him like an idiot: "Idiot, what era is it now, it is so possible to assassinate a nobleman, even if you can't find it, you will already be a nobleman at that time, but you will never want to be recognized by us, and you will not be able to enter the inner circle"
Don't look at what Garis Mallory said lightly, but William didn't believe what he said, he understood that he had the blood of the Great Celestial Empire, even if he tried hard, he couldn't enter the inner circle of the English aristocracy, but if he couldn't enter, he couldn't enter, uncle, I am not rare, why do I find so many things for myself, as long as I can make money, I will make money, uncle, I will enter the inner circle of the world.
There is a W team in his hand that can just allow him to form a special team to protect his property and the safety of his family, as for what to protect the royal family and deal with special security issues, it depends on William's mood, his soul is not England's.
Garris Mallory sat there without speaking, thinking he knew the ordinance and asked, "William, do you have an impression, that ordinance is very important, it would be nice to find it?"
William thought that there really was something in his memory that Henry had whispered to him from his hospital bed, but he had to confirm it.
"If I find it, do I need to show it to you?" William deliberately set a trap
Hearing William want to hand over the Oxford Statutes, Garris Mallory hurriedly said, "Of course it's the best, William"
William knew that these guys were not well-intentioned, the Oxford Statute was the biggest evidence of the Earl of Oxford, and there was a commentary on this ordinance in the Noble Council, and the Earl of Oxford who held the Oxford Ordinance was the real Earl of Oxford
I don't know what secrets are hidden in this regulation, so that these nobles are so obsessed with it,
"By the way, I remember, Henry seems to have told me something, what the hell is Eun" William's clothes looked meditative, and hammered his head from time to time,
William lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, in fact, he was using his mental power to perceive Garris Mallory,
Garris Mallory stared at the pensive William, his nervous hands waving.
After playing Garris Mallory for a few minutes, Eric slapped his head and exclaimed, "I thought of it."
"William, what do you think, tell me quickly," Garris Mallory stood nervously.
"Ah, Garris, why are you so nervous, oh, I didn't think Henry said that after finding the ordinance, you just need to take a picture of the penultimate paragraph after the ordinance and give it to you, Garris, you are not honest, do you want to trick me?"
William pretended to be angry
Garris Mallory was not a bad person who could be the chairman of the committee, and immediately reacted that this was William playing tricks on him, revenge for the secret talisman he had just wanted to take away from the Devonhill family
"Hell, William Devonhill, you're a bleak soul like Henry, Henry, that old fox threatens us with the myriad secrets of your family in order to make you inherit the title," Garis Mallory couldn't help but scold William in public.
William picked up the glass and took a sip, "Haha, Garris, we're all the same, I'm pretty good compared to you, haha"
Garris Mallory said angrily: "William Devonhill, you don't know the importance of that ordinance at all, it may change the world, it must not be allowed to cause any problems, the last text of the ordinance must not be made public by anyone, otherwise there will be a big mess"
"Okay, okay, Garris said as if you know, if you know what it is, why are you looking for me" William waved his hand in annoyance.
"I don't know what is written in the ordinance, but the royal family and the Grand Duke of Devonshire know what it is, and Henry showed it to the Grand Duke, and then the Grand Duke warned Henry and our noble council that we must keep it safe, and that the words behind the ordinance must not be seen by anyone, and that if he let the world know, there will be a big mess" Garis Mallory roared in a low voice of rage
"In other words, the Oxford regulations are what we and the Devon Hill family care about, and what do you care about is the text written after the regulations?" asked William curiously
"Yes, the Oxford Statute is useless to us, only you Devon Hill family will value it, we were all scared by the Grand Duke of Devon at the time, we wanted to see what it wrote, and we were afraid that what the Grand Duke said would become true, and the world was really in a big mess because of a passage"
Garris Mallory hesitated with a sigh
William's curiosity was aroused by his two-sided embarrassment, "I really want to see what is written in the ordinance, Gary Mallory I said that I am the owner of the ordinance, I think it's okay."
Garris Mallory's picture of you is an idiot
"I hope you find it, and I hope you never find it, William, do you find it or don't tell me, I'm afraid I can't help but wonder, you found it and gave it to the Grand Duke, now only he and His Majesty the King have seen what is written on it, and only they can prove that you haven't found it, but William, don't be too long, the Grand Duke's health is not very good," Garris Mallory kindly reminded.
William hesitated and said, "Actually, I know how to find that thing, maybe it won't take a day to find it, Garris, or let's look for it together, you won't be curious about what is written" William said evilly.
Garris Mallory's expression became excited, he wanted to agree, and then he struggled again, and finally sat down in his chair decadently and scolded: "William Devonhill, you are as annoying as Henry Winster Devonhill, you are so mean, shameless, and you love to make people, and you will see the statement of the Earl of Oxford tomorrow and come to Downing Street to find me, you are going to re-select your W-team members" Garis Mallory ignored William after speaking, and left without even saying hello.
It seems that this guy is really hard to endure, and he is really a person who can be the chairman of the safety committee, with a strong will, strong determination and integrity.
William stopped suddenly, I think that this kind of person who has been an agent for decades is upright, I have drunk too much.
William picked up the red wine on the table, looked at the 12% ABV, and shook his head, it seemed that I had drunk too much.
