Isabel walked slowly across the pond alone and thought, "If Henry VIII summoned Henry for the sake of what had happened in Richmondshire, I would have to write a secret letter to Sir Alex Ferguson." ”

"As is customary, if Baron Haswell had worked diligently and away from corruption and hypocrisy, Henry VIII would have pardoned the Baron's previous negligence and negligence in his work. Well, things won't go so smoothly, and a few cases of robbery and violence alone can't kick the baron out of the magistrate's office. ”

"I wrote to tell Sir that the subversive activities that took place in the county must be controlled within a controllable range and continue to ferment. Personnel, still able to use the group of people that the knight found. Commissions should also be kept within the budget. ”

"If the subversive activity spreads to neighboring counties, the commission amount is too high to pay... Just dispose of all these people, and never leave evidence for the circuit judges, the chancellors, and the Privy Councillors! ”

As soon as Isabel made her next plan of action, she turned around and walked towards the manor. Before coming to a very beautifully decorated room that Henry had assigned to her to live in, she said to the valet in the drawing-room in the corridor, "Go and bring me a glass of fresh milk." ”

Let the valet bring him a cup of fresh milk, never to drink it. Although the production of dairy products in England increased significantly in the 16th century, the people of this era still lacked the technology to sterilize fresh milk, which made it very easy to be contaminated with a large number of bacteria.

Therefore, fresh milk in this era was usually only given to the very poor. Even the vast majority of poor farmers at the bottom of the social ladder only drink skim milk or whey. As for the nobles, knights and gentlemen of the upper class, they naturally did not drink fresh milk. Of course, fresh milk is still useful to the upper class. For example, it can be used to make beautiful dishes.

The manservant felt a little incomprehensible about her words, but still promised her: "Yes, miss, do you need the cheese that has been made?" ”

Isabel glanced at the obedient manservant, "No, I want fresh milk." ”

As soon as the manservant brought her a glass of fresh milk, Isabel Walton closed the door. Sitting at the table, he picked up a very extravagant quill made of white swan feathers, dipped it in some fresh milk, and wrote down on the letterhead what Sir Alex Ferguson needed to do.

After writing the confidential letters, he changed to a quill pen dipped in ordinary ink and wrote some ordinary letters with no secrets on top of the secret contents. When Jazz received the letter, he only needed to heat the letter slightly on the light of an oil lamp or candle to see the cipher. She had taught Sir some of the methods of secret lettering.

Later, she wrote an ordinary letter to her mother and sister Euphemia. When she rolled up the two letters and stamped them with fire paint one by one, she called the living room manservant: "Do you know how to get the other party to receive the letter in a very short time?" ”

The manservant said respectfully, "Miss, you can pay the postman some money." This way, the other party can receive your letter within your desired timeframe. ”

"Well, these two letters are my letters to Sir Alexon Congreve, Mrs. Walton, respectively, and I will give you some money to pay the postman. At the same time, you must tell the postman that these two letters must not be lost and must be delivered to the recipient as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, miss."

It wasn't until Isabel had dinner with her father, Sir Augustine, that the Duke of Richmond returned to his estate. Sure enough, as she had predicted, it was for a large number of letters from Richmondshire that Henry VIII summoned the Duke to the palace. When Henry found Isabel in the gardens of the manor, he excitedly said, "Elobel, do you know what His Majesty has summoned me to the palace for?" ”

Isabel sat on the long back chair basking in the sun and said with a smile: "I guess His Majesty is because you returned to Windsor in time to complete the marriage ceremony with the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk III?!" ”

"Well, Your Majesty did mention it. But, before that, His Majesty put a large pile of letters in front of me for me to see. ”

"Letters? I think it must have been a letter from Richmondshire. ”

"Isabel, how do you know?"

"Henry, I told you before I left the castle, and I asked Sir Alex Ferguson to send someone to search for evidence of Lord Haswell's incrimination."

"It took two weeks to find so many barons' mistakes in duty. Well, I'm happy with Jazz's performance. ”

"If it weren't for my planning, I'm afraid Sir Alex Ferguson wouldn't have been able to find so many cases in two months." Isabel said to herself, still with concern, "Henry, what is His Majesty's attitude towards the contents of these letters?" ”

"Hahaha... His Majesty said that he was furious when he read the contents of the letter, and asked me why there were so many cases of robbery, abuse, and violence in the territory as soon as I left the territory. ”

Reflecting on his conversation with Henry VIII, Henry added: "I say to Your Majesty that I have always done my best to maintain the peace of the county when I was governor of the county. There are so many cases of peace now, perhaps because the county magistrate has not fulfilled his duty to enforce the ordinance well. ”

Isabel nodded: "Did His Majesty mention to you how to resolve these cases?" ”

Henry pondered it, and then repeated the words of Henry VIII: "Your Majesty says that the magistrate has sought redress from the magistrates and circuit judges of the neighbouring counties? ”

"I said I don't know about it, but I will definitely send someone to inform the magistrate as soon as possible."

"It seems that His Majesty will not immediately remove Lord Haswell from his office. Henry, it is better to wait a little longer, I don't think my father is ready to be a magistrate and captain of the guard. Isabel deliberately made a thoughtful look at Henry.

Isabel asked the servant to bring Henry a glass of wine, and the Duke of Richmond took a few sips and happily observed the surroundings of the garden, with a smile on his face: "Isabel, do you like the environment here?" If I'm not satisfied, I can have the craftsman renovate it. ”

"Thank you, I'm satisfied. Especially this very large pond reminds me of Asker Manor. After Isabel finished speaking, she told the Duke about the plague that had broken out in the city of London not long ago.

"When I was in the palace, I asked the minister of the palace, and the minister said that there was indeed a plague in the city in June this year, and it was not an outbreak of plague in the whole city."

Isabel said something in passing: "Damn, I forgot one thing." ”

Henry, who seemed accustomed to her swearing, still asked her, "What have you forgotten?" ”

Isabel said with annoyance, "I forgot about the plague, and I suggested that you order a few sets of clothes." ”
