Chapter 421: Poisoning Catherine?
Here, Marin had just given the order to poison Prince Christian, the Crown Prince of Denmark, and intelligence came from England over there......
It turned out that it was Edward's sister, Lord Margaret, who, after seeing Spain and England fall out over Princess Catherine of Aragon, felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and planned to kick it ......
Coincidentally, when Lord Margaret was trying to rescue his younger brother Edward, he had desperately developed an inside line in the Tower of London to achieve the goal of rescuing his younger brother Edward. Even, Lord Margaret plans to rob the prison.
Later, however, Marin came up with a more brilliant idea. So, he didn't need to rob prison. But Lord Margaret has successfully developed an inside line in the Tower of London.
This bodyguard, Robinson, was recently in charge of guarding the tower of London where Princess Catherine was being held. Coincidentally, this tower in the Tower of London, called the Garden Tower, was the same place where Richard III had imprisoned the missing Edward V and his brother, Richard, Duke of York.
In later generations, this tower, called the "Garden Tower", had another name - the Bloody Tower. That's because, around 1674, while renovating the Garden Tower, workers found two boxes containing the remains from the walls of the stairs inside the Garden Tower. Later, after research, everyone decided that it was the missing Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York. Both of them were children when they died, which made people feel inexplicable. Since then, the Garden Tower, where the remains of Edward V and his brother were found, was renamed the Bloody Tower, and it represents an extremely brutal scene in the history of British kingship......
Far away, when Lord Margaret learned that his inner line, Robinson, was currently in charge of guarding Princess Catherine, he immediately felt that this was a golden opportunity.
So, she personally approached Robinson's guard agent to explore the opportunity to poison Princess Catherine. However, Robinson's guard said that although he had the opportunity to be poisoned. However, after being poisoned, he could not escape death. Therefore, Lord Margaret needs to find him a substitute for the dead ghost before he is willing to make a move.
Therefore, Lord Margaret thought of the mysterious owner of the "North Sea Chamber of Commerce", "Mr. Edison", who helped her rescue her brother. Therefore, the Lord of Margaret sent someone to contact the person in charge of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in London, asking if the North Sea Chamber of Commerce had the ability to find a way, or, find a substitute for the dead ghost, and help Robinson's guards carry the bag. After all, it's not easy to develop an inside line in the Tower of London, and Lord Margaret may need him in the future......
In addition, Lord Margaret also mentioned in the letter that she had also found a reliable chronic poison that would ensure that the poisoned subject would die three days after taking it. And her request is to let the Beihai Chamber of Commerce help Robinson's guards find a substitute for the dead ghost within three days.
After receiving a call for help from Lord Margaret, the head of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce quickly found a suitable substitute through the intelligence system - Jason, the cook in charge of cooking in the Tower of London......
Jason is a high-level chef in the Tower of London, and is responsible for cooking for the high-ranking prisoners in the Tower of London, such as Princess Catherine.
Speaking of poisoning important prisoners in the Tower of London, the chefs of the Tower of London have the best chance. Moreover, if it is a chronic poison, the tester will not be able to test it on the spot. What's more, some important prisoners were held in the Tower of London, and the drug testers did not necessarily test the drugs with the food they were given.
Moreover, Jason, the chef, does not live in the palace, but rushes home every day to live. Not far from the Tower of London, he had a house.
Therefore, Moore, the head of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, suggested that the day after Robinson's guards poisoned Princess Catherine, he sent someone to kill Jason, and deliberately put a lot of money in Jason's house, giving people the illusion that "Jason was killed by someone".
As soon as Jason died, and then Catherine was poisoned to death, at that time, the English people would think that Jason poisoned Catherine, and then, by the mastermind behind the scenes. Then, the English will follow this clue. And the Robinson guards, who were really poisoned, could stay out of the matter......
After Street Moore's report, Marin felt strange in his heart. That's why he ordered the poisoning of Prince Christian, the crown prince of Denmark, and the poisoning of Princess Catherine of Spain here? In this way, will he not become and Caesar? Borgia like a "Duke of Poison"?
Of course, it was not Marlin's intention to poison Princess Catherine, it was the Margaret Lord of the York family who did it. This woman is really uneasy, she is a hardcore Tudor opponent. No wonder when he was over seventy years old, he was hacked to death by order of Henry VIII...... In the legend of the haunting of the Tower of London, this Margaret lord is a very famous one. Because she was chased by the executioners in the Tower of London and saw a lot of knives before she died tragically...... The other people who were executed honestly bowed their heads and confessed, but she was not convinced, and stood up to escape. However, in the end, he couldn't escape, and he was stabbed many times, died a miserable death, and became a famous ghost in the Tower of London......
Originally, Marin was still hesitating whether to support Lord Margaret to poison Princess Catherine. But a piece of information from Spain made Marin determined......
It turned out that the Marin spies in Spain suddenly sent back information that King Ferdinand II of Spain, while busy marrying his third daughter, Princess Maria, to King Manuel I of Portugal as his successor, had begun to discuss with his ministers whether to reconcile with England......
It is not surprising that Ferdinand II's previous conflict with England did have the purpose of diverting everyone's attention. Just like the United States attacking Yugoslavia in later generations, it was a major event that Clinton engaged in to divert the public's attention after he was deeply involved in peachy rumors.
Now, the limelight has passed, and the Spanish ministers are no longer entangled in the issue of Ferdinand II picking up girls in Italy and Isabella I to death. Moreover, because of the death of the eldest princess Isabella, and the marriage of the third princess Maria to Manuel I as the queen, a bunch of things completely attracted the attention of the nobles of the Castile Kingdom. As a result, Ferdinand II began to consider reconciliation with the British.
After all, England, like Spain, is also a feud with France. With the British threatening the French in the north, the pressure on Spain was much lessened.
Previously, when Ferdinand II wanted to quarrel with England over the issue of Princess Catherine, many nobles in Spain opposed it. Because, that is not in Spain's national interest. Now, Ferdinand II himself wanted to ease relations, and naturally he was supported by many nobles......
When Marin received this information, he was immediately depressed - he finally went to great lengths to buy Cantrella and wanted to poison Prince Christian, isn't it just to prevent Spain and Denmark from marrying?
Now, he has arranged to poison Prince Christian. As a result, Spain is good and does not make trouble with Britain...... Isn't it meaningless to arrange yourself?
"Alas...... That's not right...... It doesn't seem meaningless to order Prince Christian, who is the commander of the Danish army, to be poisoned before the battle. At least, it makes a lot of military sense......"
In the end, Marin did not order the cancellation of the operation to poison Prince Christian. Moreover, he also approved Moore to help Margaret County cover up and poison Princess Catherine......
Spain wants to make peace with England, right? If Princess Catherine is poisoned in the Tower of London, see how England ends...... At that time, it will be difficult for the relationship between England and Spain not to break down......
