A look of schadenfreude appeared on Earl Mackinto's face: "Ever since this Lord Earl beat my brother and made the Cronin family and the Clayton family completely at odds, the Marquis of Sidney has not treated him very well. ”

Although the status of the Marquis de Sidney's son gave him some status in the Creighton family, he had no real power at all, and the position he held as a descendant was also very good. ”

Thirty years ago, his eldest daughter divorced her husband and remarried to the Earl of Shelley, who, with the great help of the Count of Madrid, defeated his two older brothers and inherited the family title. ”

"Although it's just a small fiefdom, it's all a real power aristocracy, and the two sides help each other, which almost makes the Count of Madrid beautiful, but it's a pity that you are confused. ”

Renard hurriedly shook his head in denial: "Earl Shelley violated the laws of the kingdom and finally committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

Hearing this, Earl Mackinto pursed his lips: "Don't worry, no one will pursue the truth of the matter for a dead man, and besides, there will be more important matters to be resolved in this dynasty." ”

More important looks? The other party's words aroused Lei Ye's interest, what could be more worthy of attention than a feudal official committing suicide in fear of crime?

Count Mackinto seemed to read his thoughts, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "You'll find out later." ”

Renard didn't wait too long, and after the last few important ministers of the kingdom finished their annual work reports, the court meeting went straight to the point.

Standing in front of the throne, Count Louis took two steps forward and announced loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that the Imperial Court will publicly hear the attack on the Kingdom Mission in Kale County today. ”

The audience was in an uproar!

Except for a few people, no one knew the purpose of this great court meeting, including Lei Ye.

This matter is big and big, after all, attacking the kingdom's envoys is equivalent to slapping the king in the face.

According to Marquis Bowen, it was a gang of bandits and bandits who attacked the envoys, and they were almost killed by the guards of the envoys, and the remaining small fish and shrimp couldn't make any waves.

His Majesty the King made this matter the subject of discussion at the Great Meeting, which is really a bit of a fuss.

Renard bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then looked at Baron Leiden, who was attending the court meeting on behalf of the Marquis of Sidney, and saw that the other party had a stern expression and a face full of enemies.

He couldn't help but suddenly realize that just now Count Louis emphasized the three words of Kale County, which seemed to be Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword and intended for Pei Gong.

The nobles in the council chamber had different expressions, some with gloating expressions, others with worried faces, like flies eating for breakfast, and others with doubts and suspicions.

While everyone was thinking about His Majesty's intentions, several noble women who were still beautiful were brought in by the guards.

As soon as they entered the door, the two nobles who started at the beginning began to weep, and when they walked under the throne, they finally couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you will be the master for us, my hard-working child, he is only eighteen years old!"

Renard didn't know which play it was singing, and he couldn't help but look at Count Mackinto with an inquiring expression.

The other party explained calmly: "When the kingdom mission was attacked, eight people were killed and more than forty were injured, of which more than eighty percent were descendants of court nobles. ”

There was no shortage of gilded nobles in the kingdom's power department, and there was no such thing as the mission, which had no assessment standards, and many nobles who had no real power or spare money would stuff their children and grandchildren into the mission.

Marquis Bowen was happy to give a favor and receive some benefits by the way.

After all, the mission has no salary to pay, and can only receive a small allowance when it is on mission, and there is no specific limit on the number of people, which is very easy to operate.

Even if His Majesty wanted to investigate corruption in the various departments, he would never find out about the head of the mission.

Normally, it's a place with mixed qualifications, and there's no danger at all.

Occasional business trips, showing off their might, and reaping some benefits, this is the whole job of the members of the mission.

However, who would have thought that someone would have the audacity to attack the Kingdom Mission?

Just when Lei Ye was mourning for these unlucky guys, a louder cry suddenly came from behind him.

The voice was so sensational that it pushed back the sympathy that had just been born in his heart.

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came, and saw several small nobles sitting on the ground, shouting hoarsely: My hard-working grandson, my son, Your Majesty is the master for us.

Renard frowned slightly, these people had exaggerated and contrived expressions, no matter how they looked at them, they looked like jogging clowns.

Before he could react, the Marquis of Bowen, who was not far away, also squeezed out two tears of sadness, and said sadly: "Hey!

He was really sad, but after seeing the exaggerated acting skills of the nobles opposite, he couldn't help laughing.

Lei Ye seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but sigh: Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

In the end, he chose to close his eyes and recuperate, and he was out of sight and out of mind.

He did not know what His Majesty's intentions were, but he just had to wait and see what happened.

The crying continued for about ten minutes, and the Marquis of Trolope, who was sitting next to Count Mackinto, suddenly said: "The matter has come to this, everyone should not be overly sad, His Majesty will explain it to everyone." ”

The voice was very flat, but it was very penetrating, and the noise of the entire council hall was gradually silenced.

A few nobles who did not know the identity of this marquis also obediently shut their mouths under the warning of their companions, and did not talk about it.

When everyone present focused on himself, the Marquis of Trolope got up tremblingly and looked at the court nobles facing him: "Count Church, please leave your seat and be inquired." ”

If it weren't for the fact that this marquis had extraordinary strength, everyone would probably really think of him as an old man in his last years.

Hearing the words of the Marquis of Trollope, the noble seats opposite were silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing who was the one who was named.

After a while, the Marquis of Trolope suddenly repeated the words just now: "Count Church, please leave your seat and be inquired." ”

The people in the noble seat shuddered at the same time, and finally a middle-aged man stood up tremblingly, squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, and bowed back, "Okay." ”

After he finished saying these two words, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't even lift his feet.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Trolope glanced at Count Louis, who understood and ordered two janissaries to step forward and restrain Count Church, who was vain.

Only then did the other party sigh as if resigned to his fate, and was carried by two guards, slowly walking down the aisle to the bottom of the throne.
