Chapter 81: Undercurrents (2)

"Your Excellency! Mr. Haywiley's situation is the same as mine, you don't know! Those untouchables are usurping our land and not returning it! ”

"And now, we just want our land back, and the Privy Council has issued a decree preventing us from expelling those untouchables! Dear Earl, what do you say is the truth in this? ”

As soon as the thin middle-aged man on the side finished speaking, his companions around him also spoke to assist, and after finishing speaking, their faces were full of grievances, making them seem to be the weak side.

"My gentlemen! I understand your feelings, and I sympathize with your situation! ”

The Earl of Warwick blew his beard, squinted at the crowd slowly in the living room, and said softly.

"But what you have to make clear is that this is what His Excellency the Duke of Somerset meant, and I was completely unaware of this decree the day before yesterday!"

"Let's go back and wait for a while, the Duke will definitely give you an explanation!"

The Earl of Warwick quietly put all the blame and the black pot on the Duke of Somerset, and instead he pulled out without a piece of sludge.

Hearing this, whether sitting or standing, they understood the meaning of the Earl's chase, and knew that this time they had returned in vain, so they left the Earl's Court with a sigh and went home in a carriage.

Sending off the annoying guests in the living room, the Earl had just sighed when a figure came from behind.

"Sir Bangor, do you know why I am perfunctory to these people?"

I saw that it was my own advisor Bangor. Sir Edmond, the Earl of Warwick couldn't help asking.

"My Earl, I thought you were not at ease with these people, and I could not trust them! Is it! ”

Sir Bangor said without hesitation, knowing that it was his mastermind who was testing him.

"That's right! These people are greedy black bears, where there is more honey, there are them! For them to go against Edward, huh! They don't deserve it yet! ”

The Earl of Warwick smiled contemptuously, evidently looking down on the petty nobles and gentlemen of those places.

"Indeed! They came to see you after they went to Duke Edward's mansion to no avail, and it is clear that they did not take you to heart! ”

Sir Bangor interjected at the right time, speaking the heart of Lord Earl!

"That's right! They are a bunch of vampires, and they won't be obedient until they see the real pain! ”

"You're saying that they actually suffered very little loss, and they came to you to complain!"

Sir Bangor said in disbelief, especially when he saw the appearance of the group of weeping gentlemen, he still couldn't believe it.

"Yes! Now it's just a blatant enclosure for them! ”

"Next, I think my dear Lord Edward will surprise them!"

Outside the window, the birds chirped, and Sir Bangor felt a sense of danger as he looked at the Earl sitting in his chair and smiled coldly.

Back in Chester, the whole city is almost in chaos, people of all colors come alive one after another, and some ruffians start their happy hour.

And the poor citizens could only lock the door of their house tightly, and hide their wives and daughters in the cellar, and they did not dare to open the door even when the door rumbled.

And the place where the citizens live is the focus of the sheriff, so not many people dare to be too presumptuous, and the slums are miserable.

Especially in Protestant families, the men were brutally murdered, the women were brutally abused, and blood was sprinkled all over the long uneven streets.

Crowds of people scramble for the scattered coins on the ground, and no one cares where the money came from.

"Your Excellency! We've eliminated the heretics, now what are we going to do? ”

Crewe looked at Bishop Braun with a respectful face, looking very obedient.

"Yes! Now we have to leave Chester and deliver the rest of the Lord's followers! ”

"Don't worry! Your Excellency Sheriff will let us go! Bishop Braun looked at Crwe Priest with a hint of fear and smiled softly.

Soon, the Catholic uprising of Congleton, Crewe and Nantwich, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Macclesfield and Royal Valley in Cheshire was captured by the Catholic insurgency, and spread to the surrounding counties.

The situation in Cheshire was precarious, and news of the rebels finally reached London, reaching the Duke of Edward's mansion.

"I'm! Riley. How David became his sheriff! ”

When Duke Edward heard the news, he knew that something was wrong, that the matter was clearly coming at him, and that he had to keep a grasp of the regents' thoughts.

"Moss, you go and inform the ministers that they are going to come to the conference hall for a meeting, and I'll go first!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Duke! The young butler hurriedly complied.

Duke Edward waited in the hall for less than half an hour, and all the regents arrived.

"Ahem, ahem! Ladies and gentlemen, you all know the reason for the opening of this emergency meeting, there is a Catholic rebellion in Cheshire, what can you do? ”

Duke Edward was the first to get up, cut directly to the topic, and preemptively shook everyone off a question.

"Dear Duke, I think it is most important to send troops to encircle and suppress this rebellion at present!"

"We'll talk about the rest later!" The chubby Earl Boswell was the first to respond to Duke Edward, and the fat on his face trembled, which showed how hurried he was.

"So, what do you think, Earl Warwick?" The Duke could not ignore the influence of the Earl of Warwick.

"I don't care! I listen to everyone! The Earl of Warwick stroked his beard and said casually, as if he never cared.

"Do you have any proposals, gentlemen?" Duke Edward looked around at the ministers sitting and asked softly.

Listening to Duke Edward's words, everyone shook their heads in unison, obviously the Earl of Warwick had no opinion, and could only listen to Duke Edward!

"Well, then, I propose, for now we appoint Reilly. Sir David came to suppress the riots, after all, it was too late to gather the militia! If the riot is not suppressed within three months, we will hold him accountable! ”

Hearing the decision made by Duke Edward, everyone didn't say much, but in everyone's hearts, his performance became more and more domineering.

All the ministers departed one after another with dissatisfaction, and the Earl of Warwick and Bishop Cranmer finally walked out of the meeting room side by side.

"Your Excellency! The Duke is getting better and better! ”

Standing beside the Bishop, the Earl of Warwick casually dropped a sentence and boarded his carriage.

Leaving the silent Bishop Kranmer, he stopped.
