Chapter 954 Spreading Rumors
The next day, Prime Minister Alex sent a confidant to search the mountains, and then "searched" several abandoned English-style plate armor. Then, Prime Minister Alex announced that the "regicide case" was solved - the murderer was an Englishman...
In fact, those pieces of English-style plate armor were just the spoils that were looted when the Scottish army invaded several northern counties in England last time. They were almost moldy when they were left in the warehouse.
Last night, Prime Minister Alice remembered the pile of rags and packed them in bags. In the morning, he found an absolutely reliable subordinate and asked him to take the bags out of the city and to the mountains near the Gobridge Valley. After pretending to have traces of someone passing by, he took out these English plate armors that had been prepared long ago and took them back as evidence to submit them.
However, Prime Minister Alex didn't know that the place where his confidants forged the scene was less than 500 meters away from where Kahn and the others buried the plate armor. If they expanded the search range and dug the ground, they could find real evidence...
After finding the "evidence", Prime Minister Alex found a group of left-behind civil servants and publicly displayed the evidence. Then, he took everyone to the forged trace for on-site inspection. All the people present were ordinary civil servants, and there were no professional criminal investigation masters like later generations. Then, everyone was fooled by Prime Minister Alex...
Since the "real murderer" (actually, it is not wrong) has surfaced, John Stewart's suspicion has naturally been washed away. Then, Prime Minister Alice and Queen Margaret both publicly expressed their support for John Stewart, the authentic royal bloodline, to inherit the throne of Scotland. After John Stewart was released, he also publicly stated that he would marry Queen Margaret as his wife...
Then, naturally everyone was happy...
However, for national security reasons, John Stewart ascended the throne this time, and no representatives from other countries were invited to participate. Because the Scots were worried that before John Stewart officially ascended the throne, the English would send troops to intervene. Therefore, they chose the way to deal with the troubled knots - first holding a state funeral for James IV, and then three days later a coronation ceremony for John Stewart...
Moreover, along with the coronation ceremony, there is also the wedding of John Stewart and Queen Margaret - it is held in the church anyway, so it is easy to hold it together...
...
John Stewart was crowned as the new king of Scotland, called John I (In Scotland history, there was actually a king named John Barrio, that is, John Barrio, but the Bruce Dynasty and the Barrio dynasty, which had only been reigned for four years, were mortal enemies and refused to recognize the kingship of John Barrio. The Stuart Dynasty was founded by the grandson of Robert Bruce, the founder of the Bruce Dynasty. It naturally followed the wishes of the Bruce Dynasty and also refused to recognize the King of Scotland. Even Robert III, who was originally named John, was renamed Robert after his crowning). The first edict he issued announced that the murderer who assassinated James IV was suspected to be an Englishman. Later, he showed the people several pieces of English plate armor as evidence...
Suddenly, the people of Edinburgh were excited and shouting to avenge His Majesty James IV. Taking this opportunity, Prime Minister Alice ordered people to recruit soldiers on the spot, and more than 500 young people with passionate blood signed up to join the army on the spot...
Soon, the edict was sent to other parts of Scotland outside Edinburgh, including the southern part of the border with England.
At this time, the people of Coster and Marich's "Robin Hood Robber Group" were still active in southern Scotland. They naturally learned about the edict. Then, they took the edict torn off the notice to issue the edict in front of the town hall in a small town at night and brought it back to Newcastle.
Cost, who is in Newcastle, was shocked:
"What, Scotland concludes that England assassinated James IV? Did they find any evidence?"
"It's not clear, but it is said that Scottish Prime Minister Alex led his men to find a scene where he discarded his armor near the Gobridge Valley, which has now been protected..."
"Discarded armor? What kind of armor is it?" Coster asked with concern, thinking that the pile of buried armor was discovered by the Scots.
"It is said that it is several pieces of English armor..."
Coster suddenly realized that paralysis was a fool. Kahn and the others were obviously wearing French plate armor...
Therefore, Cost could infer it all at once - this was a false evidence deliberately produced by the Kingdom of Scotland in order to stabilize people's hearts. Otherwise, John Stewart, who was framed by them, would not have been able to ascend the throne smoothly... Wait, queen or Margaret?
Coster suddenly felt a little weird, but he didn't have any good ideas. So he made a decision - to send a fast sailboat to pass the news back to Orich, the capital of the North Sea, and leave it to Marin to make a decision...
...
A few days later, Marin received an emergency report from Cost. Seeing this report, Marin was also a little confused - what? John Stewart successfully became the King of Scotland and even married Margaret?
This information is a bit large, and Marin did not recover for a while. But after seeing the other party using the English plate armor as evidence and it was released, Marin immediately understood...
"Ma Dan, it turns out that he couldn't find any evidence to frame him on purpose..."
But Marin had to admit that the other party was really good at playing this trick. At least, the situation in Scotland quickly stabilized and he shared the same hatred against England.
However, this is not something Marin is happy to see. If the Scots are united, it will be a bit troublesome to attack Scotland.
So, how to resolve the other party's "tips"? Marin fell into deep thought...
"Hehe, I really underestimated this John Stewart. I actually came up with a way to marry the original queen to get enough support..." Marin didn't know that this method was not what John Stewart thought of, but Queen Margaret took the initiative to propose...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "My cousin married her cousin's sister-in-law... Why does it sound a bit weird..." Marin thought, touching her chin.
"Cousin-law...Sister-in-law..." Ma Lin suddenly remembered the classic uncle-sister-law-Wu Song and Pan Jinlian...
"Second uncle..."
"Sister-in-law..."
Ma Lin suddenly thought wrongly, thinking of a certain book called Jin or Mei... Then, he thought of Ximen Daguanren and Wu Dalang who was unlucky to be poisoned to death...
"Dalang, drink it soon. You'll get better after drinking it..." Malin unconsciously remembered the TV scene where Pan Jinlian fed the unlucky Wu Dalang medicine... After drinking the medicine, Wu Dalang rolled all over the bed and was suffocated to death by the quilt...
"Ahem... it's a crooked building..."
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Marin's brain...
"Oh, there's it!" Malin suddenly slapped the back of his head.
Through this series of irrelevant random thoughts, Marin suddenly came up with a bad idea...
For now, Marin hopes that John Stewart will become the murderer of the regicide, and at the same time, she also hopes that Queen Margaret, the only bloodline of the Tudors, will be unlucky. Then, it would be best if both of them are suspected of regicide...
How to accuse John Stewart and Queen Margaret of the regicide? Of course, it is by false accusation! How to accus them of them? "Water Margin" and "Jin X Mei" both gave examples - are there any jokes that are more appropriate than killing the husband and silver wife to commit murder?
In his previous life, Malin was also a floppy writer, and writing a joke is no problem. Soon, the story of a brother-in-law having sex with his cousin-law after returning to China took shape in Malin's writing.
After John Stewart returned from France last year, he colluded with Queen Margaret, who was "her husband is not at home", and then a series of scenes with mosaics... Then, unfavorable news came - Dalang... Ah, it was James IV who actually returned to China...
In order to stay with his sister-in-law forever, John Stewart made up his mind to kill his cousin, Wu Da... James IV...
The silver wife Queen Margaret was also afraid of being liquidated by her husband after she came back, so she conspired with her husband John Stewart to intercept and kill James IV, who was unlucky and green on his head halfway...
...
After writing the manuscript, Malin dryed the ink and admired it for a while. He felt that this must be a gossip story that the public is very interested in...
Then, Marin found Kohler and ordered him to send spies from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to spread this very gossiping joke in taverns in European countries. No matter how he was, he would pour dirty water on John Stewart and Queen Margaret first...
Gossip rumors are spreading everywhere, and they can also be fake and real. Besides, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has not banned fake news these days, so rumors can be spread at will. As long as you keep it hidden, don’t let someone find out...
When this gossip rumor fermented, it seemed that Edward also had an excuse to send troops...
