Chapter 167: Old Father-in-law

The Marquis of Whitehead looked at Brown Jennings with an admiring smile on his face, like an approachable elder, which is also the impression he usually gives people.

He was an important minister of the empire but most of the time he did not have the frame of a superior, and everyone knew that the marquis liked talented young people, whether the young man was born into a noble or a commoner, as long as he thought you were useful to the empire, he would promote you......

He unearthed many, many young talents for the empire, and then used these young officials to push the empire to reform some backward old systems, and was the leading figure of the imperial reformers.

Brown is a ninth-order high-level magician, and now he is the vice president of the Dock Magic Academy, and when the Dock Magic Academy and the Salo Yang School of Magic merge, he will definitely enter the management of the expanded Salo Yang Academy of Magic.

Young and promising, after marrying the daughter of the governor of Marcellus, he will definitely soar.

As long as the Marquis of Whitehead can return to the Empire safely, with Brown's current age, he will definitely be able to enter the Imperial Cabinet in the future.

And Miss Anne is so pretty......

Everyone sighed in their hearts: Brown is really a winner in life!

Anne walked up to the Marquis of Whitehead with Brown in her arms, and her eyes warned her father not to think too much of Brown.

The Marquis only laughed and did not respond to Anne's warning.

He was really curious about this Brown Jennings. He knew very well that Brown and Anne had never met before, so why did Anne suddenly send a telegram saying that she was going to be engaged to Brown?

Anne is not an ordinary child, her engagement to Brown can be said to affect the entire Flamence Empire politics. But she insisted on this decision and did not give any reason.

The Marquis of Whitehead knew his daughter very well, and her willingness to be engaged to Brown meant that Brown was worth more than that.

Therefore, the Marquis, after agreeing to Anne, immediately investigated the Jennings family.

The Jennings family is a military family, but there have never been any high-ranking officers in their ancestors, and the children of the family are all good at charging into battle.

There is nothing special about this family and its history

When the Marquis personally summoned Baron Jennings, he did not find that the family was too valuable.

There was also Reed Jennings, a graduate of the Imperial Royal Military Academy, a lieutenant company commander in the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, and an ordinary junior officer.

So...... What Anne fancied had nothing to do with the Jennings family, it was with Brown himself.

Seeing Anne's nervous appearance at this time, the Marquis of Whitehead was even more convinced of his judgment.

"Brown ......," the Marquis shook Brown's hand cordially, and said, "This is our first meeting, and I am very pleased with you. Anne is very headstrong, and I've always been worried that she'll like bastards who only talk tricks girls, but when I see you, I'm relieved.

Now that I'm in Saroyan, we can have morning tea together and talk about what you think of the city and the country. ”

Brown was about to answer, but Anne preemptively said, "Father...... Brown is really, really busy. You know that he is the vice president of the Dock Academy of Magic, and he is also a professor in the junior department of magic.

I'm afraid that when the new semester starts, he won't have time to chat with you.

And Brown has little interest in politics, and you don't have a common topic. I think you should talk to Speaker Peters now, he seems to have something urgent to talk to you. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead turned around and saw the Speaker with a very bad face coming to him.

"Your Lordship, your banquet is very well organized. But I suddenly felt a little sick...... I'm sorry, I had to leave early. ”

Speaker Peters, who had come to the banquet, had always been concerned about the transfer of weapons from the Blue Cathedral, so he kept an eye on the sky outside from his window as he dealt with the various people who came to talk.

When the red flare goes up, he has a bad feeling. When he saw more and more flares rising, and many of them were not released by his own personnel, he knew that there was something wrong with today's plan.

All personnel involved in the transfer of weapons are rapidly retreating, and it is impossible to remove the weapons from the church at this time.

Speaker Peters now needed to know what was going on outside, and he wanted to leave quietly, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"The Governor has decreed that no one should go out until the banquet is over."

All are under house arrest here.

Not knowing what the Marquis of Whitehead had done tonight, Speaker Peters knew that he could not stay here any longer, so he found the Marquis and made up an excuse at random.

Hearing that the speaker was uncomfortable, the marquis said with concern: "At this time, the hospitals in Saroyang City must be closed.

Luckily...... There is my personal physician in the Doge's Palace, and Your Excellency the Speaker may have them take a look. Your long-term service to the administration of the province of Marcellus is a great burden on your body, and if you are really sick, it will be a great loss to the Empire.

I recommend that you have it checked by your personal doctor, preferably to take a break from work. ”

How dare Speaker Peters let the marquis's personal doctor see him, I am afraid that they can see the illness even if they are not sick. The speaker turned around and said, "Lord Marquis, this is not too serious, I have prepared medicine at home, I can go back and take the medicine myself." Also, I remember that there are important things I need to deal with......"

The Marquis would never let Speaker Peters leave at this time, and he said, "My people tell me that there seems to be some chaos in the Blue City, and it is really too dangerous for you to go home now. Why don't I send someone to the speaker's house to get the medicine, there are silver wings in the governor's palace, and fly over directly...... Very fast.

And in the whole province of Marcellus, there is nothing more important than my inauguration as Governor of Marcellus.

Let them continue with the banquet here, and we will go to the conference room on the second floor for a meeting to discuss my inauguration tomorrow. ”

Speaker Peters knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Marquis of Whitehead, and even if he wanted to know what was going on over there in the Blue Cathedral, the people inside couldn't get out, and the news from outside couldn't get in, so he couldn't do anything.

You can only admit it!

This cabinet minister, who is relied on by the emperor, is really not simple.

No longer distracted by the outside affairs, the Speaker took on the same status as the Marquis of Whitehead and said, "I don't need to send someone to my house to get medicine, I feel much better."

There really was nothing more important in these two days than the Marquis' inauguration as Governor of Marcellus.

I'm looking forward to it too...... Together, the Parliament and the Doge's Office were able to lead Marcellus into an even more glorious era. ”

"Please......" the Marquis of Whitehead invited.

Speaker Peters and Admiral Priestley led the Marcellus military dignitaries up to the second floor.
