Chapter 700: Betraying Lord Margaret

What is Marlin going to do? Naturally, it was Edward's own sister Margaret who killed him......

This woman is too tough and scheming. If Edward had been around after he had succeeded in taking the throne, Marin could not have been assured that he would be able to take over England.

You know, Marin's strategy is to use the marriage of Little Caesar and Little Princess Margaret to unite the Kingdom of England. However, if Lord Margaret is here, it may be. This woman may be in the way. After all, she is Edward's own sister, an absolute snake. If she is against unification, it will not be easy. For example, Edward III, according to his bloodline, should have become the king of France. However, the French aristocracy was not happy to let the king of England become the king of France at the same time, so they united against Edward III and supported Philip VI, a side branch of the royal family, to become the king of France, triggering the century-long "Hundred Years' War between England and France". Therefore, this "stumbling block" must be moved away......

However, Marin can't kill her on his own. After all, it was Edward's own sister. If you do it yourself, you will inevitably turn against Edward. At that time, the marriage of Little Caesar and Little Princess Margaret will not exist, and the union will become a luxury. Therefore, Marin chose to borrow Henry VII's sword to kill Lord Margaret.

For this, Marin prepared for a long time......

According to the agreement of the Marlin faction and the Margaret County Lord, the Beihai Chamber of Commerce and the Margaret County Lord's people will open the city gates in the middle of the night in both directions. Among them, the Lord of Margaret was responsible for sending people to open the east gates. And the people of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce are responsible for opening the West City Gate. Of course, in order to facilitate future activities, the people of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce deliberately said that they were short of manpower, hid most of the manpower, and borrowed a group of people from the Lord Margaret to plot to seize the West City Gate together. For this reason, the people of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce specially bought a small courtyard near the West Gate of London City early, and began to dig a large basement early to hide more than 100 horses and weapons and armor.

Similarly, Lord Margaret, who was in charge of the East Gate, did the same, bought a small courtyard near the East Gate, and quietly dug a huge basement, also hiding more than 100 people and horses.

However, in order to trap Margaret County Lord, Marin and the two parties agreed on the same time to open the city gate......

The agreement with Lord Margaret was to open the east gate in the middle of the night after the siege of the city. And the order given to the people of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce was in the middle of the night on the third day after the siege of the city......

As for why there was an interval of one day, it was naturally that Lord Margaret was exposed in advance. Of course, in order to confuse those who had borrowed from Lord Margaret, in the middle of the night of the next day, this group of people near the west gate would also be dispatched once. However, the head of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce will deliberately rub in. When the city is clamoring to capture Margaret's East Gate Lord, he will deliberately retreat. Then, wait until the next day to start again......

On the first day of the army's arrival, Marin's army was busy building a fortified city, ignoring the nervous enemy forces at the head of the city. Because there were 30,000 people strong, Marin's 20,000 soldiers did not help build the camp, but guarded the enemy troops in the city of London.

The first day was uneventful, and early the next morning, Marin ordered to send people to carry out the artillery, and used 50 infantry guns to bombard the north gate of London, which frightened Henry VII to send people to block the hole in the north gate, and it was blocked with bricks. In this way, even if the north gate is damaged by artillery, nothing will happen.

But in the afternoon of the next day, someone suddenly came to the palace and claimed to be informant......

This man's name is Webb, and he is the treasurer of a grain store under the Margaret County Lord, and one of the important members of the Margaret County Lord's intelligence network. And the information he brought was also very shocking - someone wanted to cooperate with the enemy to open the east gate......

Henry VII was immediately furious, and ordered Weber to be brought into the palace, and asked:

"Who is it that wants to open the east gate to welcome the rebels into the city?"

Webb looked around in fear and said:

"It's the master of the villain - Margaret, Countess of Salisbury......"

"Smack-" Richard who was in the audience. Pol was so shocked that the precious blue and white porcelain water cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered......

"Do you know what you're talking about? It is a capital crime to frame a nobleman! "Richard. Pol said solemnly. The Lord of Margaret, although not from Henry VII's faction, is now his wife. If the wife has "rebellion", she will also be implicated.

Webb looked at Richard. Pol, it seems, is scared. Henry VII, on the other hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said mildly:

"Tell me what you know, you have to have evidence."

"Villain...... The villain has evidence ......"

"What evidence?"

"In the middle of the night tonight, Lord Margaret's men will forcibly attack from the inside of the east gate, open the east gate, and let the enemy army enter the city......"

"What? You repeat? Henry VII stood up in astonishment.

Webber seemed to be frightened by Henry VII's reaction, but he still stubbornly said:

"The villain has no lies, whether it is true or not, we will see tonight!"

After a pause, Webb added:

"In addition, according to the villain's knowledge, the rebellious Edward was sent by the Countess of Salisbury to replace it with a terminally ill boy who looked like him......"

This is definitely a super shock, and Henry VII never understood how Edward escaped. Now, the truth has been revealed......

"Bastard! It turned out to be this slut! In a fit of rage, Henry VII smashed a whole set of Oriental porcelain, apparently furious.

You know, after Edward escaped from the Tower of London, with the support of the French and Marin, he posed a great threat to Henry VII. Now, the other side has destroyed the regular army of the Kingdom of England and directly surrounded the city of London. If he loses this time, Henry VII may be killed. Therefore, the man who rescued Edward from the Tower of London was absolutely hated to death by Henry VII......

Richard. Pol was also a little frightened at this time, but out of luck, he still asked:

"How did she get Edward out?"

Webb replied:

The Countess of Salisbury first seduced the Auxiliary Bishop of Fries, and then entered the Tower of London through the Auxiliary Bishop of Fries, giving Edward the opportunity to pray, and brought in Bert, a young country boy who looked exactly like Edward. Then, taking this opportunity, Bert and Edward swapped clothes, and eventually took Edward out of the Tower of London...... Afterwards, Countess Margaret immediately sent someone to kill the auxiliary bishop of Fries...... "In fact, this answer is seven points true and three points false. Most of it is true, except for how to use the auxiliary bishop of Fries, Weber has made changes. Of course, this was at Marin's behest......

That's right, Webb is Marin's man. However, after Lord Margaret began to secretly build up his own forces, Marin placed Weber under Lord Margaret and became his right-hand man. Of course, Lord Margaret herself did not know.

Originally, Webb's mission was only to help Marlin spy on Lord Margaret. But now, Marin directly asked him to stand up and testify against Lord Margaret......

After listening to Weber's confession, Henry VII and Richard. Pol was furious. Henry VII's anger was due to the fact that Lord Margaret rescued his greatest enemy, Edward, which led to this series of unfortunate events. And Richard. Pol was angry because his head was green—didn't he hear Weber say that Lord Margaret had deliberately seduced him in order to use Auxiliary Bishop Fries? What to do after seducing? Nature is for Richard. Sir Pol added a little green to his head...... For a medieval knight who valued honor very much, this was too much of a slap in the face......
