Chapter 108 escape
Ten minutes later, the Northumberland family was ready to go at any time.
Because he was a soldier, the Earl of Warwick had always had a strong personality, so he kept his word at home, and no one dared to disobey it.
Looking at the countess standing beside him, as well as several adult sons and daughters-in-law, the count nodded in satisfaction.
"John, Robert hasn't come back yet? Why don't we wait a while!"
The Countess is a lady of country jazz origin. Even though she has become a Countess, her dress is still relatively simple as always, and her personality is very soft, which matches the Earl of Warwick's rigid personality very well.
Looking at his wife, the Earl of Warwick shook his head and said:
"Anna, don't wait for him, he is in His Majesty's guard camp, very safe!"
Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Anna's heart was broken. No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that her husband must be in big trouble if he left overnight. Otherwise, with his status as a dignified earl, would he still run away?
"Okay, Anna, don't worry, Robert will be fine, let's go first!"
The Earl put his right hand on Mrs. Anna's shoulder, and whispered comforting words in her ear.
"Well, well, I'm fine, it's fine, let's go!"
Ms. Anna wiped the corners of her red eyes and said softly.
"Let's go—Northumberland!" With a shout from the Earl of Warwick, five lightly loaded carriages set sail for the London dock five miles away.
There, a medium-sized merchant ship was waiting for the Earl of Warwick at the pier.
Northumberland is the northernmost county in England. Its capital is Newcastle. It faces the North Sea to the east and Scotland to the north. It is also the hometown of the Earl of Warwick.
In history, the Earl of Warwick will also crown himself the Duke of Northumberland.
So when Guy and his party arrived at the Earl's Mansion, they saw an empty room and two corpses.
Lifting off the linen covering the corpse, Guy kept looking at the two young corpses lying on the ground without saying a word.
After watching for about ten seconds, he stretched out his hand and pulled the linen up to cover the **** corpse.
"Oh! Bury them well!" Guy said calmly.
For Guy, starting from becoming the leader of the Dark Blade, there are a few lives in the reports that come to him every month.
For these, for Guy, he is used to it.
"Boss, we found the ruts of the carriage!"
A report broke the sad atmosphere of everyone.
"Okay, everyone chase after me!" Guy said happily after hearing the news.
Thanks to the weather in London, it has not been an hour since a light rain fell, and the ruts can still be seen clearly on the road.
Just like that, the mighty army began to chase the Earl of Warwick's convoy again, but they forced the captives hard. They had just been beaten, and now they were going to run for a long distance again.
Within a short while, Guy found that these pampered prisoners were panting after running for less than a mile, which slowed down the pace of the whole army.
"Tren, find dozens of people to **** these merchants back!"
"Yes! Your Excellency the Commander!" Thrun grimaced and agreed reluctantly.
Guy also has his own thoughts in doing this. Today Thrun performed very well, but he should not be too dazzling. After all, he is just a small vice-captain.
After about twenty minutes, Guy finally followed the traces of the carriage to the London Dock.
However, Guy only saw five empty carriages parked on the pier, and the scattered dock workers passed by with envious eyes.
Just as he was about to approach, an official who seemed to be in charge of the dock came over.
"Hey! You untouchables, do you want to die?"
"This is something from a noble lord, don't approach it!"
The official looks like a small official, but his attitude is quite arrogant, and his expression is very arrogant.
"We are members of the Star Chamber Court, and we are ordered to track down important criminals. Let me ask you, where are the owners of these carriages?"
Seeing this, not wanting to waste any more time, Guy directly picked up his badge and asked the little official.
Since Edward formed the Dark Blade, he was afraid that the Dark Blade would not have a deterrent effect, so he nominally affiliated the Dark Blade to the door of the Star Chamber Court, which is full of deterrence, so that it is much more convenient to do things.
"This, this, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect the arrival of the adults. I am the tax collector Cade here. This, the clothes of the main adults are quite strange!"
The little official stuttered a little, and looked at Guy in disbelief, but he couldn't stop the timidity on his face.
"Okay, I just want to ask you, where did the owner of these carriages, the Earl of Warwick go?"
Guy didn't bother to care about what he was thinking. At this moment, he just wanted to know where his target—the Earl of Warwick—had gone!
"Here, half an hour ago, the Earl of Warwick came to the pier and said he was going to Southampton, so he left on a merchant ship!"
The tax collector looked at Guy with some fear, and told the details in detail.
"Smelly bitch! So, can we send someone to catch up now!"
After cursing, Guy looked expectantly at the tax collector in front of him.
"Well, my lord! It's already dark now, and the Earl of Warwick may have already left the port. Soon, he will reach the sea along the Thames River. We can't catch up!"
"Then you send someone to chase now, if you don't chase, how do you know you won't catch up!"
Seeing the adults in the star room court so messing around, the tax collector at the dock had a headache.
At this moment, he wished he could slap himself in the face, because he blamed himself for talking too much, which was purely self-inflicted trouble.
"My lord, I'm so sorry, there is no boat at night!"
The tax collector said a word weakly, for fear that he would be taken away, after all, he is not clean at all.
After listening to this sentence, Guy felt that his eyes were filled with gold stars, and he was about to explode!
"Let's go! Let's go back!" Leaving this sentence behind, Guy turned around and walked away with a face full of unwillingness.
"My lord, please go slowly!" Looking at the group of Gays who were gradually going away, the tax collector blessed him from behind.
Guy's face trembled, showing a dumbfounding expression.
At this time, Andre, who brought the London militia, came to Hampton Palace on the Thames.
Looking at the good Hampton Court Palace in the dark, staying there quietly, Militia Major Pryor could not know that he was cheated.
"Andre, don't think that you are a servant of His Majesty the King, so you can act recklessly. If something happens to the councilors, you will be wanted by the London City Hall!"
As soon as the congressmen knew that it was his ineffective rescue, those businessmen would definitely remove him from his position, and maybe even bribe the judge to punish him.
With such a terrible scene in his mind, Prior hated Andre for deceiving him even more.
Seeing Pryor's wolf-like eyes, as if he was about to tear himself alive, Andre couldn't help but shiver.
"Mr. Major, it doesn't matter how much you hate me now, but you have to think about your current situation!"
"The businessmen of the London City Council will definitely not let you go, a militia major who betrayed their interests!"
Hearing Andre talk about his dangerous situation, Andre's face turned paler and paler!
"However! There is a life in front of you, I wonder if you cherish it?"
Andre's words directly whetted Pryor's appetite, making his heart itch.
"Andre, what vitality are you talking about?" Prior swallowed and asked nervously.
"Your Majesty, your vitality is His Majesty the King!" Andre said word by word.
"Your Majesty the King?" Prior was a little surprised.
"It's His Majesty the King, the whole of London, the one who dares to offend His Majesty the King!"
"Not only your life, but even your current position can be preserved!"
Andre is like a tempting devil, with sweet wine to lure the wandering Prior.
"Okay... well! I am willing to serve the great His Majesty Edward!"
"So, please tell me, how does His Majesty the King save me?"
Seeing Prior's appointed appearance, Andre finally smiled.
"Don't worry, my major, you will know tomorrow!"
After speaking, Andre put on his hat and rode away directly.
Looking at Andre going away, Major Prior had a complicated expression on his face.
Late at night, the noisy street during the day is like a gentle girl, full of a different kind of poetry, which is pleasing to the eye.
Whitehall Palace, at this time our honorable King of England did not sleep or read a book as usual, but was admiring the portrait of his grandfather Henry VII.
Henry VII on horseback was wearing the armor of an ordinary general, but he still couldn't stop his kingly majesty.
In front of the horse, a group of local gentlemen bowed their heads and surrendered to the king of England.
Just when Edward was about to be filled with emotion, Guy came.
"Your Majesty, London City Councilor Cromwell and his family members have been arrested and have been sent to the detention center of the Star Chamber Court!"
Guy said to Edward somewhat unnaturally.
"Really? What about the Earl of Warwick?" Edward felt a little abnormal when he heard Guy's tone.
"Your Majesty, I am very sorry about this incident. The old fox of the Earl of Warwick has escaped!"
Guy lowered his head and said in shame.
"When the credits are recorded later, your credits will be annulled!"
Edward heard the news, and said directly in front of Guy.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guy agreed helplessly.
"So, so many people, how much money was copied in total?"
Edward asked directly without changing his face, without a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
"Your Majesty, according to calculations, we have obtained a total of 120,000 pounds, 30,000 acres of land deeds, more than 100 shops, banks, companies, real estate, etc. have not yet been calculated!"
As soon as this is mentioned, Guy beams with joy, this is an item that gives him extra points.
"Very good, very good, I will reward you with a hundred pounds, and I will send Luna to help you count together!"
