Regarding Thomas' words, Marquis William could only believe in his heart. He has nothing to do now. This is the most suitable solution at present.

Come on— Marquis William shouted loudly to the door without hesitation.

Your Excellency— the closed door suddenly opened a gap, quietly, a thin figure walked in quickly, bent over, bowed and answered humbly.

Bring your money and send people to the Norwich market to publicize my story of saving Norwich. Don't be stingy with money!

Marquis William faced his confidant, and his gaze stayed on him for a few seconds before he gave orders unceremoniously, speaking quickly.

Yes, my lord! His confidant pricked up his ears, listened carefully to the marquis's words, and recorded them deeply in his heart, and nodded in agreement when he found that he hadn't missed anything.

As a marquis, even if he was just a marquis, although he is not as powerful as an aristocratic family that has been hereditary for hundreds of years, the position of nobility has attracted many talents of all kinds for him.

Especially in the Tudor dynasty, the aristocrats kept private soldiers in captivity and possessed weapons, which were successively banned by Henry VII and Henry VIII, and the apparent power of the aristocrats was limited to a limit.

At this time, all kinds of people who are messy in private and have their own abilities have become the power that the nobles like to use.

After all, these people are far less natural than well-trained soldiers. In order to prevent excessive persecution, the royal family began to acquiesce in this method of the nobles.

Seeing that his subordinates responded, Marquis William waved his hand with great reassurance. He turned around again and turned his attention to Thomas, who was thinking all the time.

Looking at Thomas's serious face, Marquis William felt a little bored for a while, and his original interest in Thomas's thoughts disappeared immediately.

This Thomas is indeed a boring person, and he doesn't know how he got here in the past few decades!

Marquis William rolled his eyes in boredom, thinking unscrupulously.

Thomas on the side naturally didn't know what Lord Marquis was thinking, and still squinted his eyes, looking forward, looking like a sculpture.

Your Excellency the Marquis— Thomas turned around, stared wide-eyed, and looked directly at the sleepy Marquis William, and said this out of the blue.

Ah~ Marquis William was startled, his body trembled, he opened his eyes, saw a pair of deep eyes, smiled awkwardly, and asked: Thomas, have you found anything? Tell me quickly!

My Excellency the Marquis! Thomas curled his lips and shook his head before saying earnestly, I think the atmosphere in Norwich these days is no worse than when you were fighting.

Thomas spoke in a serious manner, which made Marquis William sit up straight immediately, patted his drowsy face, and put on a look of asking.

It is certain, my lord, these days, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, who is quietly and forcefully promoting it!

It's a powerful force, I thought, if you weren't paying attention? Huh!

As he spoke, Thomas stroked his smooth goatee, shook his shoulders, and smiled exaggeratedly.

This-- Facing Thomas's exaggerated smile, the doubts on Marquis William's face became more intense, and he didn't pay attention to the face of the nobility, so he asked directly: My Thomas, tell me what will happen in the end ?”

Regarding Marquis William's question, Thomas has no concerns or hypocrisy. After all, at present, he needs Marquis William's recommendation.

This force, we don't know where it is, and we don't know where it came from!

However, the only certainty is that its purpose is to disturb the calm waters of Norwich!

Among them, the most crucial role is none other than Robert Kate!

Hearing Thomas' speculation, Marquis William was not stupid. Then, he seemed to think of something, and blurted out: They want to rob Robert Kate!

Yes, that's right, this is their most direct purpose!

Seeing that Marquis William finally came to his senses, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

If Robert Kate is hijacked, then the mob scattered all over the place will revive, and soon, a mob group stronger than last time will sweep across the six counties of East England. That is to say, my method of suppressing the mob The credit has been wiped out, and I have been busy in vain!

Thomas' words were like a flash of lightning, instantly opening Marquis William's mind. Immediately afterwards, he thought about the serious consequences of this matter being accomplished, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Obviously, he knew that this conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise, in addition to his wasted work, he would become a laughing stock among the nobles if he was robbed of criminals in front of him.

He has already created such a picture in his mind: after he enters the reception full of ambition, in the resplendent hall, a group of gorgeously dressed noble ladies are hiding in the corner, pointing at him from time to time He said with a smile: Look, this is the nobleman who was robbed by bandits in front of him. He deserves to be put up by his sister's skirt. He can't even do this well!

Thinking of such a scene, Marquis William felt extremely uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

You know, he was originally raised because of Queen Catherine, but he doesn't have such a convincing record as Duke Edward, and has always been talked about by the nobles.

And if there is such a big scandal, he will lose face among the nobles, and he will no longer have the face to attend any noble ball.

I think they have no chance of achieving their goal!

Marquess William narrowed his eyes slightly, walked to the window, looked at the city of Norwich, which was gradually returning to its former prosperity, without looking back, and said every word with full force.

Thomas could see that he said it through gritted teeth.

On February 15th, the weather was beautiful, no, it should be God’s blessing. From the morning onwards, the entire Norwich sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. Combined with the faint warm light of the sun, the whole person began to feel lazy.

However, this is just the groaning of the aristocrats. Ordinary citizens don't have such thoughts. When the sky is still pale, they have already climbed out of bed and started a day of repetitive life.

And on the eve of the dawn of a day, it is the last darkness before the light, and it is also the best place for all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to be born.

Norwich doesn't have the sprawling sprawl of London's streets, so there are plenty of dark, dank little streets, some people's favourites.

A tall and thin man was wearing a worn black wool coat, looking down at his feet cautiously. This kind of alley has a lot of potholes, and there is no sunshine all year round. Be careful, you will sprain your feet.

After walking for nearly a hundred feet, the alley was only halfway through, and it stopped in front of a small door.

Turning his head left and right, he knocked on the wooden door in front of him after finding that there was no trap.

After a while, the small wooden door cracked a crack, and after that, it seemed that the people inside could see it clearly, and the whole small door was half-opened, enough for a body to enter.

The man didn't hesitate, turned sideways, and walked in directly.

Turning around, the yard was full of men in single clothes and short sleeves. Everyone looked anxious, unable to tell whether it was excitement or fear, but the atmosphere in the air was really tense.

The man silently walked to the end and became a listener.

Soon, not long after he arrived, a well-dressed man with a majestic face walked up to everyone, he didn't say anything, but everyone's eyes consciously fell on him.

Everyone, at noon today, the person who was executed at the stake is our target. Everyone, wait for my signal and act together!

The man glanced at the number of people in front of him, and after getting a number he was satisfied with, he nodded and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a few healthy servants wheezed and carried the big box full of voices, and placed it next to the man.

Here is a weapon, strong men in need can come and get it!

For this kind of free supply, everyone is not very polite, even if there is no weapon suitable for them, if you take one and sell it outside, you can still get a lot of silver coins.

Everyone is a ruthless character in the fish and meat town on weekdays, and there are no silver coins in their pockets. For this kind of opportunity to work hard, it is better to take the opportunity to earn more.

Near noon, two crosses were erected in front of Norwich Cathedral.

On the cross, two ragged old men were tied, one of them was Sir Robert Kate who had rioted a while ago, and the other was his elder brother——William Kate.

And the surrounding area was densely surrounded by a large number of citizens who came to watch the excitement. Besides, there were snack sellers, jugglers, and gadget sellers, and so on.

I don't know, I thought it was a holiday!

In fact, in this era, ignorant people still account for the majority, and this kind of execution provides rare entertainment for citizens who lack spiritual activities.

The Marquess of William, the Archbishop of Norwich, and the chairman of the Norwich Self-government Committee sat on the high platform, watching the Kate brothers with their heads bowed and disheveled, and there was silence on the high platform.

But under the stage, there was a lot of discussion, insults, clamor, and spurning.

The Marquis William didn't linger on the Kate brothers for too long, and then he turned his eyes to the lively crowd of onlookers and took a closer look.

I saw that, occasionally in the crowd, there were quite a few men with unkind faces, who could tell they had other plans at a glance.

In this regard, Marquis William knew that the critical moment had come.
