King of Mercenaries Chapter 276

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:16:46 AM

伦敦 London, England, these days, Margaret, Count Salisbury, stayed here to take care of the family food business. In fact, she and her husband both lived in Salisbury, where Henry VII and her husband would not allow her to come to London casually.

This time, her husband was also ordered to visit Scotland, and no one was responsible for her family affairs, so she temporarily ran to London to take charge of the food import affairs.

But I did not expect that a mysterious businessman from the Netherlands gave her a secret letter telling him that his brother, Edward, Count Warwick, who had been detained for many years, might be executed by Henry VII. Moreover, the secret letter provided a wonderful plan to rescue Edward. Not only that, the other party also agreed that Margaret would not pay part of the grain payment for the purchase of a certain bishop.

女 Margaret, Count Salisbury, immediately tempted, and over the years, she was also very worried about her younger brother who had been locked up in the Tower of London. Not long ago, she used the opportunity to visit the prison only once a year and visited her poor brother.

Since being kept in the tower for a long time, her younger brother Edward is now pale and unhealthy, which makes her very worried. However, she had no choice. Because the Tower of London is one of Britain's most guarded places. It was very, very difficult to rescue her brother. What's more, her husband, Richard Powell, who was simply Henry VII, often monitored his actions. Surveillance by the pillow made her have little chance to plan the rescue of her brother.

However, this secret letter from a mysterious man gave him directions. No matter how tight the defense of the Tower of London is, no one would think that someone would use such a clever method to replace the prisoner.

最 The most important thing is how to find a boy who is very similar to his brother ...

Maybe it's God's will. When accompany a group of ladies on the outskirts of London this spring, Count Margaret really found a young boy who looked like his brother. This made her look at the boy a few more times and happened to remember the village. The teenager's body does not seem to be very good, and he is sickly pale ...

Thinking of this, Count Margaret immediately quietly dressed up as a city maid, left the back door with her dear, and left London, and came to the village found in spring ...

Not seen in the next half year, Count Margaret was surprised to find that the home of the boy who was already very poor was exacerbated by poverty.

It turned out that the juvenile had a strange disease, and his lungs seemed to have problems. Because of this disease, the burden of medicine alone is huge at home. Originally, this was a decent farming family. However, because of the illness of the teenager, he basically spent all his savings at home ...

Of course, before this family had only such a son, naturally it was trying to do everything possible to treat it. However, in the fall, the hostess gave birth to another baby son. This changed the attitude of the couple and even began to abandon the burdensome eldest son ...

玛 When Margaret saw the boy named Bert again, because of his family's abandonment, Bert's eyes were no longer pleasing, apparently unlovable. The younger Countess Margaret, because she was detained for many years, looked almost the same as Bert. The only difference is that Count Edward's body is still healthy, but his skin is sickly white because he does not see the sun all year round, much like Burt's skin.

In the end, Margaret offered a "scary" price of 1,000 gold coins, calming down the farmers. Under the heavy money, the eldest son can hardly cure it. After fierce ideological struggles, Burt's parents chose to agree.

But Bert himself, after his parents made a choice, was completely dead, and agreed to leave with Count Margaret. Of course, he didn't know what he was going to do, but from the tone of Countess Margaret, it was probably not a good thing. But he didn't matter anymore, the doctor determined that he couldn't live this winter. So, it might as well make a last contribution to the family ...

After arriving in London, Count Margaret told Bert that all he needed to do was pretend to be Count Edward. For this, Burt also needs simple etiquette training. Otherwise, it won't act like it, it will be disassembled ...

女 The Countess Margaret did not tell Burt that this could lead to killings. So Bert just thought he was going to jail instead of Count Edward ...

Bert didn't feel much living in a room for many years because he often lay in bed at home. Coupled with the countess Margaret deliberately downplaying the pain of imprisonment, and Bert did not even go to jail, he agreed quickly, and seriously received noble etiquette training.

After a while, Margaret began to find an auxiliary bishop named Fries in Westminster Abbey, London. Fries is a very greedy priest, facing the gold coins, intervening and taking risks. Margaret also inquired about this person and knew that he was a guy who did nothing wrong for money. In private, this assistant bishop in his holy clothes is actually an important loan shark in the slums of London. His men even supported a number of thugs ...

After the intermediary and sent the group of "strange people" who Kohler found, kidnapped Bishop Fris' only illegitimate son, Fris had to meet with Count Margaret to discuss "substitution".

Even if his son was abducted, Bishop Frisian refused to budge in compensation. In the end, Count Margaret bid 30,000 coins, and Fries nodded in agreement.

格 Margaret was not unhappy with Frith's greed. On the contrary, she was more relieved that Fries the Lion opened her mouth. Because Frisken wanted a high price to prove that he really took the matter seriously. If nothing else, Margaret was worried that he would tell ...

On November 23, the Frenchman, who was a fake of Charlie, Duke of York, was hanged by Henry VII. Later, Henry VII seemed addicted, and decided to execute Edward the Earl of Warwick a few days later to clear the last obstacle.

At this momentous moment, on the evening of November 27, the night before the execution of Earl of Warwick, the assistant bishop of Westminster Frith suddenly requested Henry VII to let him meet Warwick. The last side of Earl Edward, "redeems" his soul ...

Henry VII thought about this request from Fries and didn't think about it, so he agreed. Because, before being executed, Western prisoners did have the habit of asking a priest to do it for them. However, Henry VII was a little surprised that Bishop Fris took the initiative. Because generally this is an official arrangement, and no pastor has requested it.

So, at a darker time later, while the guards were having dinner, Bishop Fries wore a robe and brought a little attendant in a black robe who liked to lower his head and entered London. The tower held Edward's room ...

After a short prayer, Frith's lengthy lecture made the guards responsible for surveillance drowsy ...

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the guards on the side to go to the toilet, he arranged to replace Edward's Bert, quickly took off his black robe, and changed his position with the expression of Count Edward's face in amazement. Bishop Frith also quickly put on a black robe to Count Edward and told him to lower his head and follow him out for a while ...

Prior to her arrival, the Countess Margaret had already dressed him in the same silk clothes as Count Edward. So, as long as Bert sat down in Edward's position, he didn't say a word. And Count Edward, just need to put on a black robe over the clothes, and then put on a hood, and then bow down and follow Bishop Frieze to leave the Tower of London ...

That's all, while dinner was over, Assistant Frieze Frisian completed the substitution. Next, Margaret quickly took Prince Edward to a secret stronghold, and then, for Earl Edward, obtained some of the York family's tokens. Afterwards, Princess Margaret let Edward pass through the gondola overnight, dived down the London city walls, arrived at the River Thames ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and boarded a boat bound for France ...

Bert, who had been fed poison by Countess Margaret that night, died of poison and died in the Tower of London. He was identified by Henry VII as "fearful and commit suicide" ...

在 On the same night, after the redemption of his son, Bishop Frisson died at the mistress's house that night, too, and died of poison ...

In this way, Henry VII's sole orthodox competitor, Edward, Earl of Warwick, was quietly replaced and sent to France. And, because both Burt and Fries were dead, Count Margaret was also picked out. Because, the only Frisian bishop contacted him, also died. Moreover, the Burt family was also sent to the island of Ireland by Marin's men ...

As for the future of Count Edward Warwick, Marin is not worried at all. He was clear that neither France nor Scotland wanted the British to be better off. Therefore, as long as Edward arrives in France, he will be safe and even be regarded as a guest of honor. Then, both the French and the Scots will contribute money to help him fight with Henry VII ... the more chaotic the UK is, the happier France and Scotland will be ... a fake Richard still supports them, not to mention the authentic Worry How about Earl Edward?

He sent people to France instead of Scotland because France was strong enough to protect Edward. If sent to Scotland, although the Scots did not want Britain to be better off, Scotland's national strength was weak and it was easy for Henry VII to find an excuse to invade. Therefore, sending to France is the best option.

As for Marin himself, he picked it out completely. Even afterwards, the "strange people" from West Friesland were poisoned by Kohler's most loyal men under the direction of Marin. In this way, the British could not find Marin at all ...
