Chapter 605 Henry VII failed to commit fraud

After all, Henry VII found several bones of similar age and figure to pretend to be the corpses of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. Henry VII deliberately sent someone to throw them at the bottom of the Thames near the Tower of London in the middle of the night.
Then, the next day, someone was sent to pretend to accidentally pick up two corpses...
Queen Elizabeth is also a ruthless character. She knew that these two corpses were not her younger brothers, but for the sake of the future of her husband and her children, she rushed over and recognized her relatives, insisting that they were her two poor younger brothers...
Because of Marin's invasion, it had a huge impact on European history. Therefore, Queen Elizabeth did not die in 1503, but was still alive.
As the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth knew very well that her two younger brothers were indeed killed by her uncle Richard. However, she didn't know where the bodies of her two younger brothers were hidden.
Now, his cousin Edward asks the Holy See to investigate the matter, and the French and Scottish accompany him, making Queen Elizabeth realize that if the response is inappropriate, his husband and children will become illegal.
Queen Elizabeth had no resentment towards her husband Henry VII. After all, Henry VII killed Richard III, which was equivalent to avenging her two younger brothers. Moreover, Henry VII was indeed more popular with the English nobles than Richard III. Because Richard III tried his best to suppress the nobles and increase the rights and interests of the common people, and harmed the interests of those nobles. Therefore, Henry VII was able to seize the throne with just 5,000 mercenaries. Because there were too many collusions with Henry VII in the court.
But no matter what, Queen Elizabeth is now the queen of England, and her child will also become the king of England in the future. As for her cousin Edward, Earl of Warwick? How can her own son be important?
So, even though she knew that the corpse in front of her was not her two poor brothers, Queen Elizabeth was possessed by the Oscar Best Actress, and when she saw the corpse, she pounced on her and shouted, "Brother, you're dead so miserable!"
Along the side, representatives sent by the Holy See, representatives from France and Scotland were covered with black lines - His Majesty the Queen, you didn't even look at it and recognized two corpses that were completely unseen as your younger brother?
Then, the representatives of France and Scotland raised questions. However, the British subjects on Henry VII insisted that they were Edward V and Richard, the Duke of York...
Seeing that the top was in stalemate, the representative of the Roman Catholic Church, Pastor Gerone, spoke:
"His Majesty the King, although these two corpses remind His Majesty Edward V and Richard, the Duke of York, who really want to die, we still need to verify it..."
"Verification? How to verify?" Henry VII was a little strange. He was so dead that he was left with bones. Can he verify it? Is it so evil?
But Pastor Gerone has a really bad idea:
"That's right. This is a method of verifying corpses that has been passed down from the Eastern Chinese Empire. It's very effective..."
"Ah? Is there such a way?" Henry VII was suddenly panicked because these two corpses must be fake. Moreover, they were brought by him from other places.
"Yes, the Oriental people proposed this method in a criminal investigation book hundreds of years ago. Specifically, they steamed the bones of the corpse, and then let the immediate relatives of the corpse drip blood onto the steamed bones. If the bones absorb blood, it is a relative. If they do not absorb it, there is no blood relationship..."
"There is also such a statement? It's not fake, right?" Henry VII said nervously.
"You can tell if it is true or false!" Pastor Gerone said affirmatively.
"I don't allow you to touch my brother's corpse. They are the late king and duke. How can the corpse be blasphemed?" Queen Elizabeth, who was originally crying next to her, suddenly said this.
Henry VII couldn't help but give his wife a hundred praises in his heart. His wife's statement was perfect. Moreover, as the elder sister of Edward V and Richard Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth was just right. If Henry VII proposed it, it might be considered guilty.
But Pastor Gerone was unmoved, and he said lightly:
"Your Majesty Queen, it's nothing if you refuse to let us verify. Then, the report I submitted to Rome can only show that these two corpses are unknown..."
Unidentified identity means that it is impossible to be sure that it is Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. Then, Henry VII's charge of regicide cannot be eliminated.
"But, according to the canon, we should not desecrate the dead bodies..." Henry VII said as if he was embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Pope specially approved this method to identify the corpse. You know, your Majesty, it would be embarrassing to treat two irrelevant corpses as His Majesty Edward V and Lord Richard, Duke of York. Moreover, God will blame him..." Pastor Gerone said with a smile.
"But how can you prove that what you said is accurate? What if it is false?" Henry VII retorted unwillingly.
"Nothing, we can verify it with the criminal's corpse!"
Criminals have no human rights. After their death, their bones will be hung on the execution ground to scare the people. Therefore, their bones are the best to collect. Moreover, no one blames the bones of the dead criminals.
In order to stabilize the royal power, Henry VII killed many people over the years. Therefore, there were no shortage of corpses near the execution ground. Soon, the investigation team found the corpses of the two robbers and found their relatives.
Then, the robber who had been dead for a long time was pitifully removed from his bones and put them in a steamer to steam. After the steaming, the bones were taken out. The coroner grabbed the hands of the criminal's parents or children during his lifetime, cut his fingers, and let their blood drop on the bones...
Under everyone's attention, the blood was indeed absorbed by the bones...
After several verifications were performed in a row, only one verification failed. After investigation, it turned out that the criminal was a bastard born to his mother's affair with others. The blood of his father, of course, could not be integrated with his son's bones...
After many public verifications, this method is effective. Queen Elizabeth's blood is not a model that can be taken all. Finally, it was proved that these two corpses have no blood relationship with Queen Elizabeth...
Fortunately, Henry VII responded quickly and said that he might have found the wrong one and ordered to continue searching. Otherwise, he might have to bear the bad reputation of the regicide on the spot...
