The Hope family is considered to be Lei Ye's allies, the Meredith family is Lei Ye's power, and the Duncan family is Lei Ye's own family, so the three major forces will naturally not attack him.

The Cronin family had a bad relationship with the king, but they had no idea of openly opposing Lei Ye for the time being.

Then after all the impossibilities are eliminated, in the end, only the Creighton family remains.

The Creighton family has a personal grudge against Lei Ye, and there is also a conflict of interest.

When Lord Lei unified the Southern Wilderness County, the Creighton family sent troops to help Earl Shelley.

This is understandable, after all, the countess is a member of the Creighton family, and it is natural for the other party to send troops to help, but the two families have formed a bond because of this matter.

After Lei Ye unified Nanhuang County, he was so strong that fools could see that he had ideas about Cabbage County.

Moreover, there are rumors that he and His Majesty the King have reached a consensus to jointly crusade against the Creighton family, which has a disobedient heart, and it would be strange if the other party did not fight back.

But is it really the Creighton family who wants to attack themselves? Lei Ye is skeptical about this!

After all, at yesterday's birthday party, the Marquis of Sidney was very compatible with him, at least on the surface.

He hasn't really antagonized the Creighton family yet, that is, the other party still has a chance to win him away from the king, even if there is only an extremely slim hope, they should spare no effort to fight for it, instead of directly pushing Lei Ye to the opposite side.

This is the so-called politics, even if the two sides have already fought in private, they want to be good to you, me, and everyone.

Seeing that Count Mackinto did not speak, the Marquis of Steinbeck couldn't help but show a smug expression: "We are all doing our best for the prosperity and development of Arthur's kingdom, but we can't avoid times when we have different opinions. ”

"At least as to the extent of Governor Renard's merits, and what kind of reward he should receive, there are different answers, and some have even questioned His Excellency the Governor, saying that his merits are not true. ”

Earl Mackinto feigned surprise and asked, "Really?

In fact, he was completely pretending to be confused, because these rumors were first released by the Cronin family, in order to attack the prestige of Lei Ye.

Unexpectedly, these small measures have not yet worked, and Lei Ye unified the Southern Wilderness County at a lightning speed, becoming a rookie force in the Arthurian Kingdom and one of the five giants of the Kingdom.

Naturally, Earl Mackinto couldn't let the Marquis of Steinbeck shake these things out, even though Lord Lei already knew the details.

So he feigned anger and said, "If this is the case, then these people are too bold, shameless and jealous of the vile people, I must not let their plot succeed, and the deeds of the Governor cannot be erased." ”

Renard was speechless as he watched the two of them put on a show in front of him, not knowing what to say.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said gratefully: "If someone really criticizes him at the court, please ask the two of you to help." ”

Marquis Steinbeck said in a serious tone: "That's natural, and I will refute any unreasonable attack on you." ”

Not to be outdone, Earl Mackinto added, "I'm on your side as well. ”

As soon as the words fell, the bell ringing to herald the official start of the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Hearing this loud bell, the Marquis of Stanbeck sighed with a little regret: "Time flies so fast, if I have time next time, I really want to have a long talk with the Governor." ”

Renard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time signaled, "Then let's hurry in." ”

With that, he was about to leave.

However, before he could take two steps, Earl Mackinto and Marquis Stanbeck stopped him: "We'll go in later." ”

Lei Ye's expression was a little dazed: "Is there anything else that can't be said here?"

Earl Mackinto shrugged his shoulders: "There is no saying, it's just a convention." ”

Marquis Steinbeck explained with a smile: "This is the idea of a certain bigwig with a good face in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, to let the low-level nobles go in first, and finally those who go in can enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight, and after a long time, it becomes the rule." ”

Uhhh......h

Lei Ye was a little speechless and asked, "Which big guy came up with such a boring rule?"

The Marquis of Steinbeck and the Earl of Mackintoe looked at each other, and then said the name in unison: "Duke Sam." ”

Lei Ye was even more speechless!

As the bell rang, most of the nobles in the square were missing, and only the court nobles were left in twos and threes to be close to the feudal officials who came from afar.

They have their own circles

and do not interfere with each other.

However, the courtesy of these court nobles obviously has no effect, if it is a person like Lei Ye who goes up to talk, the other party will definitely greet him with a smile, but now the level is not equal, and the feudal officials just close their eyes and recuperate, or talk to familiar friends.

Many of the less courageous court nobles wanted to come forward to get close, but they were afraid of being treated slowly by the other party, so they could only stand at a distance and wait, while hoping that the magnates would cast even contemptuous glances, so that they would have a reason to step forward and pat themselves.

Renard was undoubtedly the most prominent of the feudal officials, but he also ignored the flattering glances of the nobles of the court, and did not give them any chance to get close.

Perhaps it was a little boring to wait, the Marquis of Steinbeck took his leave: "I'll go over there to meet a few friends, and I won't disturb you two for the time being." ”

Renard and Count Mackinto nodded at the same time, motioning for each other to take their own chances.

When the other party was far away, Earl Mackinto could not help but quip: "Your Excellency the Governor, the Marquis of Stanbeck seems to think very highly of you, he has never been so close to anyone before, and even in the face of my father, he still shows a disgusting arrogant appearance." ”

Lei Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not answer.

Whether it is from the rumors in the market or the Gestapo narrative, it all shows that the Marquis is a delicate and scheming conspirator, and the other party can get into the current situation not entirely by connection.

Therefore, from any point of view, it is wisest to stay away from such people.

Lei Ye doesn't like to deal with conspirators, and he doesn't like to deal with conspirators who have no bottom line.

Unfortunately, the Marquis of Stanbeck had both of them.

Not only is he good at tricks, but he is also extremely greedy.

The Marquis of Steinbeck is currently the Vice-Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, and he is at odds with the Marquis of Bowen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who also belongs to the Royal Party.

The ultimate reason is that the Marquis of Steinbeck often takes advantage of his power to make a lot of money, and on the surface he looks serious, but in his bones he is actually a complete greedy person.

Although Marquis Bowen also loves money, he still has a bottom line, and he can't ask for less money than he should collect, and he doesn't want more than he should collect money.

However, the Marquis of Stanbeck did not refuse to come, even if the bribe man wanted to do something detrimental to the interests of the kingdom, he accepted it.

This kind of person is better to stay away.
