My British Empire

Chapter 276 Behind Marquis William

At this time, Norwich experienced a riot that lasted for several months, and gradually calmed down under the washing of light rain.

However, the whole city is still in a state of panic, even more restless than when the mobs occupied it.

Even though peace has been restored, the withered leather and woolen industries in Norwich still show no signs of recovery, and instead appear more and more decadent, as if they have fallen into a bottomless cliff and cannot extricate themselves.

In this regard, everyone in Norwich understands that the reason for this is that William Parr, the Marquess of Northampton, has been staying in the city, sitting in it, commanding the troops to attack everywhere, and taking back the land occupied by the mob one by one.

However, the city council of Norwich and most of the citizens disliked the Lord Marquis who "saved" Norwich at this time.

The reason is nothing more than the massacre he committed a few days ago.

According to bystanders (those who hid at the door and observed secretly), the rebels, who were shocked by the sudden arrival of government troops that night, collapsed like flies without Sir Robert's command.

Tens of thousands of mobs were chased away by more than 10,000 government troops, showing no resistance at all.

The elated Marquis William had no mercy for the defeated mob, and raised his butcher knife wantonly.

The defeated mob could only flee hastily and be massacred passively.

Those who escaped, trampled on, and slashed, all of a sudden, the city of Norwich was filled with blood, wreckage was everywhere, and the sound of crying and begging for mercy was endless.

In this regard, the Norwich residents who were hiding at home trembled all night listening to such a miserable voice, fearing that the militiamen who would kill them raised their blood-stained butcher knife and swung it at Norwich.

After all, Norwich is well-known for its wealth, and the temptation of this kind of gold coin is enough to make the devil in hell reveal his true colors.

Fortunately, Marquis William also knew that if the people under his command were allowed to act like this and Norwich, the second largest city in England, was destroyed, His Majesty the King would definitely give him a big surprise.

Therefore, the residents of Norwich spent the night carefully and stayed up all night.

However, the scenes of corpses lying in the streets and alleys made the residents of Norwich who just went out vomit.

Faced with such a disgusting scene, it not only frightened the residents of Norwich, but also scared away the expectant businessmen.

Without businessmen, the commercial city of Norwich became more and more depressed, and more and more people became unemployed.

"Your Excellency, most of Norfolk has been recovered, including Robert Kate's hometown - Wyndham Town!"

Marquis William sat on the main seat with his legs crossed, with a relaxed expression on his face. On the side, a middle-aged man with a calm complexion and green eyes, with two sword eyebrows, was listening to the front with relish, and bent deeply , the messenger reporting respectfully.

It took about ten minutes before the report ended, but our Marquis William's eyes wandered, his neck was raised, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

At this time, the middle-aged man who listened to it lightly kicked the Marquis William who was distracted.

"Ah?" Lord Marquis woke up all of a sudden, turned his head, and then fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man at the side. Seeing his eyes frown, he reacted, sat up straight, and looked serious. expression.

"That's good, I already know, you can go down!"

The Marquis William ordered with a noble demeanor.

The messenger with his head bowed in front heard this, raised his head, stepped back slowly, and then saluted again before turning around and leaving, closing the door.

"My lord Marquis, please pay attention to your noble demeanor!"

The middle-aged man squinted at Marquis William, with a stern face, and gave a lecture full of air.

"You know, you are the Marquess of Northampton, a nobleman, what will those mortals think with such an attitude!"

Looking at the same age, but the middle-aged man sternly taught him a lesson without any scruples, and he didn't care about the noble status of Marquis William.

"I understand, Thomas!" Marquis William could only say softly with a begging expression.

"It's just that what I don't understand is when did you decide?"

Marquis William opened his eyes curiously, poked his head, looked at the serious middle-aged man, and asked word by word. It can be seen that he really wanted to know the result of this matter.

"Did the godfather be bought by you? This really opened my eyes!"

Hearing Marquis William's exaggerated tone, the middle-aged man curled his lips. Obviously, his guess came to nothing.

Marquis William didn't care about the failure of his guess, and kept talking about his own thoughts.

While guessing wildly in his mouth, Marquis William pondered carefully in his heart.

Thomas Mann is his godfather, another godson of Fukdo Mann. He was very smart since he was a child, and he knew all kinds of knowledge. favorite.

He also gave Thomas his surname, and kept him by his side as his own son for retirement, and refused to let him out.

This Thomas knows everything, but he has a bad problem. He likes to be serious about things that don't conform to his cognition and rules, and he uses his eloquence to make people submit.

Therefore, in the face of his lesson, Marquis William let it go, without the slightest thought of objecting, otherwise, he would spend this day in saliva.

"The godfather said that the situation in England is a bit incomprehensible!"

Thomas was also full of doubts, and said with a disapproving attitude.

"What situation? At most, there are more riots. Isn't it the same in the previous king's period?"

When Marquis William heard such remarks, he thought about it secretly, then shook his head and said indifferently.

"Could it be from the young His Majesty the King?"

Marquis William's heart froze for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, but his face still had the original disapproving attitude.

"Yes! I also feel that there is nothing abnormal, but the godfather kicked me out and let me figure it out myself!"

Thomas frowned, lowered his head, and said softly.

"During this time, I discovered that Edward VI in London has been moving non-stop for several years since he took the throne, and he likes to toss non-stop!"

"I observed it and suddenly realized that his authority is stronger than that of the previous king, Henry VIII!"

"It can be seen from this that the power in his hands will become greater and greater. This is the so-called change in the situation!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing these words, Marquis William suddenly realized, and it finally appeared on the young king.
