Hundreds of nobles who participated in the court meeting sat down one after another, Renard looked at the vacant seats around him, and asked Count Mackinto with some confusion, "Has the court meeting officially begun? Why have so many people not arrived?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Earl Mackinto leaned down to his side and explained in a low voice: "The number of people at this court meeting is already quite large, and the previous court meetings were not even satisfied with two-thirds of them, after all, ......"

Lei Ye listened to the other party's explanation, and gradually understood, it turned out that many feudal officials guarded the frontier and had a heavy responsibility, so they couldn't take the opportunity to participate in the court meeting, so they could only arrange for the second-in-command or third-in-command to come, and some even didn't participate directly.

For example, the commander of the Southern Military Region, Count Tuttle, who is now mainly responsible for the defense of the southern part of Rose Province and Kale County, is now plagued by frequent disasters, and he has no time to attend the court meeting.

So he arranged for his right-hand man, Renard's own uncle Leander to attend the court meeting instead of him.

Let's talk about Lei Ye himself, he has been the governor of Nanhuang County for several years, but he has never participated in the court meeting, and he doesn't even know that there is such a meeting.

Of course, there is no time, no time, and a long distance are basically all excuses, and the real thoughts of the feudal officials are very simple: they will not be subject to the orders of the monarch abroad.

Lao Tzu is the emperor of the soil in the place, he can do whatever he wants, why do you want to go to the king to be admonished by your king, isn't this full of food.

Earl Mackinto finally added: "Actually, so many people can come today, I am afraid that most of your skills are in it. ”

Renard looked at the other party suspiciously: "My credit?"

Earl Mackinto smiled and nodded: "Of course, many people want to see you in person. ”

"Like Magister Frank, Count Eliot, Earl Wilder, Count Edward, Count Leanderdel, Count Galder, Count Fowler, these people don't often appear at court meetings, even the Marquis of Steinbeck, who has not attended court meetings for more than ten years. ”

He suddenly showed a strange expression: "The leaders of the four major military regions either came in person, or arranged for their most trusted subordinates to come, obviously they attach great importance to you." ”

Reynard looked around and suddenly noticed that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, and the feeling of being on his back made him uncomfortable.

Count Mackinto pointed to the opposite side cryptically and whispered, "That is Count Galder, the commander of the Western Military District, and the garrison officer of Cam Ranh County." ”

Then, he pointed to the middle-aged man next to Lei Ye who was seated two seats apart: "That is Earl Fowler, the chief of staff and deputy commander of the Northern Military Region, and the garrison officer of Guiyun County." ”

"The one next to him is the Count of Wilde, the director of the royal capital security bureau, responsible for the security work of the royal capital and the surrounding areas, and also supervises the director of the regional security bureau under the royal family, which can be regarded as a general director. ”

Then, Count Mackinto lowered his voice to a very low level, and motioned to Lei Ye to pay attention to his side: "This is the Marquis of Trollope, the director of the Kingdom Intelligence Bureau, I don't need to say anything more about what he does." ”

"As for most of the other people, you know most of them, and you don't need to pay attention to those you don't know, after all, the Lord has not come, and it is useless to know them. ”

Reynard, the director of intelligence, looked at the fat old man beside Count Mackinto, and he couldn't believe that this gray-haired, fat pig-like man was actually engaged in intelligence work.

However, there is no room for him not to believe it, because the Gestapo has not been able to provide any useful information about the other party, not even his date of birth, place of origin, and family situation.

Lei Ye only knows that the other party's name is Trollope now, and he doesn't even know what his surname is, if it wasn't for today's coincidence, I'm afraid he wouldn't know either.

Count Mackinto seemed to see the surprise in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't underestimate the other party, you must know that this power is only below the king, and he is a person who even the commanders of the four major military regions dare not easily offend." ”

Lei Ye pretended not to believe it, and said softly: "Is it so mysterious as you say?"

Hearing this, Earl Mackinto showed an expression of waiting to suffer if you don't believe me: "Do you know what nickname this marquis has?"

Renard asked curiously, "What nickname?"

Count Mackinto swallowed and muttered in a low voice, "The King's Eye, the Noble Butcher, the Tongue of Justice." ”

His voice was almost inaudible, and his expression was like that of a mouse meeting a cat.

The King's Eye, the Noble Butcher, the Tongue of Justice?

Renard casually raised his eyebrows: "These titles are very interesting! Who gave them that?"

Count Mackinto quietly turned his head, and seeing that the target of his discussion did not pay attention to himself, he said reassuringly: "The one in front was from His Majesty the King, but not from His Majesty Ferdinand, but from his grandfather His Majesty Marshall, and the latter one was naturally from the nobles." ”

Speaking of the last tongue of justice, he hesitated for a moment: "The last one, naturally, is obtained by ordinary people." ”

Seeing that Lei Ye showed an interested expression, Count Mackinto had to continue: "This matter has to start from the time of His Majesty Marshall's administration......

With the other party's statement, Lei Ye gradually understood the origin of these three titles, and also knew the legendary life of this marquis.

The Marquis of Troope was born at the end of the Aurehotz dynasty, a contemporary of His Majesty Rochelle, whose exact date of birth and place of origin are still unknown, and no one even knows his surname.

According to rumors, the Marquis had been loyal to His Majesty Rochelle since he raised the banner of righteousness, and was always in charge of underground intelligence.

Every time His Majesty Rochelle went out to win a great victory, this marquis secretly helped, so to speak, he should be the first to take credit for the establishment of the Kingdom of Arthur.

However, before the founding of the country, no one had built the true appearance of this marquis, and it was not until His Majesty Rochelle ascended the throne that he accepted the award as a meritorious hero and was able to enter the public eye.

Of course, these unseen merits do not allow everyone to appreciate the terrible nature of the Marquis of Troope, whose opportunity to make a name for himself came when His Majesty Marshall ascended the throne after the death of His Majesty Rochel.

At that time, the rule of the Hope family over the Kingdom of Arthur was not stable, after all, it was the early days of the founding of the country, and His Majesty Rochelle died of an extremely sudden illness before he could let the country recuperate.

As a result, many ill-intentioned people began to secretly conspire with each other, wanting to unite against the Hope family and divide the Arthurian kingdom again.

However, before their plan could be implemented, they were completely bankrupt, and in just two days, all the nobles who plotted the rebellion were arrested and imprisoned by the Ministry of Intelligence.

The Marquis of Trollope handled the whole turnaround cleanly, it took less than a week, and even gave the members of the intelligence department who participated in the arrest a two-day vacation.

From then on, the nobles cleared the marquis's iron-blooded methods, knowing that he not only did a good job of intelligence, but also used ruthless and murderous methods.
