Chapter 596: The Fat Brother Comes Out

Of course, Henry VII was not one to sit still. He had secretly sent people to search for a young man who died around 1483, about the same age as Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, and about the same height. Then, find their bones......

Next, it is pre-buried in a certain area, waiting for "accidental discovery......

However, he didn't know that Marin, who had watched "The Torturer of the Great Song Dynasty" in his previous life, had already taught the representatives of the Holy See's observation group from the East through His Majesty the Pope the method of "steaming bones and dripping blood to recognize relatives". The principle is to steam the bones of the dug up, and then find the bones of the relatives who drip blood into the steamer. In the case of close relatives, the drops of blood should be integrated into the bones......

It just so happened that several of Edward V's sisters were alive. Just pull a random princess over, cut her fingers, and drip blood to the bones to be screened.

So, all the preparations of Henry VII were in vain. Even if you find a corpse with a similar body shape, you can verify it by steaming the bones and dripping blood, and you will know the authenticity. Of course, the premise is that Edward IV's princesses are not particularly O blood......

It was on the basis of such fears that the representatives from the Holy See did not begin to state the methods and principles. If the blood drip down and melt into the bones, then it is a different story...... In this way, it can be regarded as advancing or retreating......

In any case, the Holy See is ostensibly fair, but in fact it has sided with Henry VII. With the fanning of the French and the Scots, it is difficult for Henry VII to clear his name this time......

As long as Henry VII is not cleared, then Edward can openly accuse Henry VII of killing the king, and then he can raise an army to fight against him.

Of course, there is also a premise, that Marin needs to send ships to clean up the English ships in the Irish Sea first. Otherwise, Edward and his army won't be able to get by......

The good news is that with the end of the autumn harvest, the Five Ports Alliance has dispatched a large number of ships to transport grain. There were now fewer English ships on duty in the Irish Sea, making it easier for Marin to eliminate them.

Moreover, Marin did not want to really destroy the main forces of the English Navy. Why? I'm afraid of picking peaches in France......

If Marin is willing to consume gunpowder, it is not a problem to annihilate the main force of the English navy. But the problem is that if the main force of the English fleet is annihilated, the English Channel alone will not be able to stop the pace of the French invasion of England......

And Marin could not send a fleet to stop the French fleet, because if Marin sent a fleet to stop the French, it would be tantamount to declaring war on France.

One-on-one against France, Marin may not win, but he will not lose either. The problem was that Marin himself did not have a good relationship with the German princes. If the German princes also formed an alliance to take advantage of the French attack on Marin, then Marin would be finished.

Therefore, in the absence of gunpowder reserves to deal with the mass brawls of all Europe, Marin was not ready to tear his face with France. It would be best to sink a little less of the ships of the Five Ports Alliance.

After all, the Five Ports Alliance belonged to England, and if Edward won and killed Henry VII, then there was no need for the Five Ports Alliance to be martyred for Henry VII. Big deal, take refuge in Edward......

As long as most of the ships of the Five Ports Alliance were intact, the French did not want to invade England across the English Channel......

……

In addition to the English side to take action, Marin did not stop planning against the Duchy of Godes......

It is unlikely that he would send someone to infiltrate the court of the Duchy of Guedes and steal the correspondence between Charles II, Duke of Guedes, and the French. Because, Charles II is an old and cunning master, it may be difficult to find this kind of evidence similar to "treason" from him. In particular, when Emperor Maximilian I also declared that "anyone can beat the Duchy of Geddes if he finds evidence", it is not surprising that Charles II did not hide the evidence to the deepest part.

But on the French side, the Duchy of Guedes was not a strategic partner in the eyes of the Kingdom of France. Therefore, the correspondence with the Duchy of Godes is certainly not a very confidential level.

However, where exactly the letters from France and the Duchy of Guedes were placed, Marin did not know. So, he needs to send someone to inquire.

It is certain that the correspondence with the Duchy of Guedes must have been kept somewhere in the royal palace, but not in the residence of King Louis XII of France. Because the rank of the Duchy of Guedes was not enough for Louis XII to personally keep the correspondence with Charles II, Duke of Guedes.

Therefore, Marin guessed that the correspondence between France and the Duchy of Guedes was probably from the side of the Foreign Secretary. The Foreign Secretary also works in the forecourt of the palace. So, you need to send someone to find out where the letters are.

It just so happened that the fat brothers of the Marin faction in the royal palace in Paris were in the palace and had the opportunity to contact those officials. The foreign secretary may not be able to hook up, but those archivists can still hook up.

How to hook up? Naturally, I hooked up with good wine and food......

The French have always pursued the quality of life, so France is rich in fine wine, and later developed French cuisine. There is no demand, there is no appearance of these good food and wines. Therefore, with good wine and good food, you can still impress the French.

As a chef who is highly valued by the king and queen of France, the fat brothers are naturally looked down upon. Those big nobles may look down on the fat brothers, but those palace staff will definitely not dare to underestimate the fat brothers. They are just ordinary errand boys, where is the scenery of fat brothers who are valued by the king and his wife?

Moreover, some palace officials are also very greedy for the legendary palace feast. Many people often look for the fat brothers, not to do things with them, but to eat and drink from the fat brothers. After all, these two products are the chefs of the King of France, and the delicacies they make are not eaten by ordinary people. Even, some people want to take a big meal from the fat brothers, so that they can go back and enjoy it or use it to open a restaurant......

Originally, the fat brothers didn't like to deal with these people. After all, the brothers also know that these people don't want to eat and drink, but they want the secret recipe of a big meal, and they are not good people. The fat brothers usually cook and avoid the ordinary cooks in the palace, for fear that others will steal from them, so where are they willing to reveal the "secret recipe" to others?

However, after Marin gave them the order to inquire about the whereabouts of the letter from the Duchy of Godes, the fat brothers changed their attitude and began to be willing to entertain ordinary officials who wanted to eat and drink with good wine and food.

Because of the importance of the royal couple, the fat brothers now have their own separate room in the royal kitchen of the royal palace. There is a separate large table for eating, so you don't eat with ordinary cooks.

The lunch palace is provided free of charge to those ministers and officials, of course, those ministers and officials eat dishes made by ordinary cooks, which are naturally not very delicious. And the fat brothers are not only cooking for the king and his wife, but also cooking for themselves. After all, the two of them are also delicious, otherwise they are not fat.

So, every afternoon, the staff who came to eat in the palace canteen watched with their eyes as the fat brothers ate the most delicious food, while they could only eat the bad food made by ordinary cooks. In this case, it is natural that there are many people who want to come to the fat man's table to eat......

After accepting Marin's secret order, the fat brother began to give some of the staff a good look, and invited them to come over to eat and drink. However, the fat brothers are also chicken thieves, and the staff they invite belong to the kind of people who are clear about the affairs in the palace, and belong to the type of "bag inquiry". Only from the mouth of this kind of person can it be easy to get the answer that the fat brother wants.

Of course, out of prudence, the fat brother will not ask casually, but intends to get the other party drunk before asking. In this way, the other party is not only easy to tell the truth, but also will not remember what the fat man asked them when they wake up.

It's just that at lunch, those staff don't dare to drink too much. After all, the ministers had to be served in the afternoon. If you get drunk at noon, you have to be killed.

Therefore, the fat brothers deliberately got close to some "bag inquiring" staff, and asked them to drink together at night. In the evening, you can naturally drink more, and you can find a secluded place to drink together. And when you are drunk, it is convenient for the fat brother to talk......

In order to support the fat brothers' words, Marin sent them a lot of 40-degree rye two-pot heads, so that the fat brothers could get drunk with those well-informed staff. As for the fat brothers themselves, Marlin knew that, as they were, they were two barrels, and they drank a lot, and they didn't worry about getting drunk before they got drunk......
