My British Empire

No matter in the tavern or in the hotel, there was a lot of discussion about the wanton arrests of His Majesty's two intelligence agencies.

Fear, anger, and dread, to name a few, people can't stop their fear of being arrested at random without leaving a single word of information.

Even the number of merchants has decreased a lot, which Edward did not expect.

In the tavern, there was no more hustle and bustle in the past, and there were only a few people. Seeing the two or three people whispering in the tavern, this made the owner of the tavern frown.

And those beautiful girls who were going to do business in bed also leaned against the wall boredly, frowning, there were too few people, and their business was not easy to do!

Boss, have two glasses of dark beer! Okay, you two wait a moment! There was a sudden sound in the ear, which made the boss's heart feel relieved, and he quickly agreed loudly.

Looking up, two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, came over, sat directly on the empty table, and gave orders loudly.

Seeing this, the boss poured two glasses of wine from the barrel without any delay, holding back the pain in his heart, and specially added some more to attract customers.

Guest, please use it slowly! Afterwards, he directly took four pennies from the table, said something kindly, and then backed away.

Oh! Is there a lot more wine today than before? Seeing that the wine glass was full, much more than in the past, the fat man sighed softly.

Of course, there are fewer customers now, and now there are fewer customers. We just need to attract customers. When there are more customers, we will return to the original state. Cherish the present time!

The thin man took a sip of the rye wine mixed with water and said with emotion.

Tell me, why does His Majesty the King want to arrest people everywhere? This is even more tense than when His Majesty Henry VIII was here!

The fat man leaned over and asked quietly, looking around, as if he was afraid that others would overhear.

Hey! Who knows, it won't involve us anyway, don't worry! The thin man smiled wretchedly and said softly.

How? asked the fat man.

Didn't you see that fewer and fewer people were arrested in London. I didn't hear a single person was arrested yesterday. That is to say, this operation is almost over!

It's almost over. If you want to arrest us, you have already arrested us. You won't wait until this time!

Having said that, the thin man breathed a sigh of relief, took another sip of wine, and said loudly.

On the other side, the other guests in the tavern, the bosses, gradually retracted their pricked ears, and gradually put a smile on their faces.

Suddenly, the whole tavern became noisy.

Not only the skinny man, but other smart people in London have also discovered this situation. The previously depressed streets suddenly became lively, as if nothing had happened, and people lived their lives as usual.

London, Palace of Whitehall.

The leader of the Dark Blade, Guy Ham, combed his hair shiny and shiny, and he was wearing a high-grade linen suit that fit him well. With his straight waist, he had the aura of a mature uncle, which was irresistible and full of charm.

Meanwhile, Jack from the Palace Intelligence Department was also wearing a high-grade black sackcloth, with sharp eyes and a dashing demeanor.

Seeing the appearance of the two generals under him, Edward nodded, took a sip of hot tea, and asked slowly:

Tell me, what you have gained for such a long time!

A month had passed since the capture activity, but the situation was somewhat unexpected to Edward, but the business was affected and sluggish for a while, and on his desk, the impeachment of the two intelligence organizations had piled up.

Moreover, the follow-up effects are also constantly being produced, which makes Edward regret his reckless decision.

In order not to intensify religious conflicts, he didn't bring it up on the surface, which caused the entire United Kingdom to have a split gene.

Who knew that it would have such a huge impact that it would affect different levels of politics, economy, religion, and justice.

But I have already done it, and it is useless to regret it, I can only forcefully support it.

Your Majesty, after a month of investigation and arrest, Dark Blade has destroyed 132 false religious organizations, arrested more than 1,300 members, and dozens of gentlemen and nobles!

Guy Ham has the most seniority and the oldest age, so he was naturally the first to report. When he reported, he had a serious face.

In London, more than 400 people were arrested, ranking first among all places!

After speaking, he took a step back and returned to the original place.

Jack took a step forward at this time, and said softly: Your Majesty, in the past month, the Palace Intelligence Service has destroyed 142 false religious organizations and arrested more than 1,300 people. Among them, London is the leader with 300 people. many!

It's unreasonable. London, the capital of the United Kingdom, has become a den of thieves. It makes people laugh!

Edward put down his teacup, slapped the table and said loudly.

Next, stop the arrests and let's go to our duties!

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Edward gave orders.

Yes, Your Majesty! Guy Ham and Jack glanced at each other and replied in unison.

Just when the two were about to retreat, Edward finally realized, That's right!

Guy Ham, get ready, you will be a knight in a few days!

Yes, Your Majesty! Hearing this, Guy Ham couldn't help but agree with joy on his face, as if he was afraid that the king would go back on his word.

On the other hand, Jack's face was full of envy, who wouldn't want to become a nobleman?

But seeing this, he couldn't help cheering up. Gayham had served two generations of monarchs before he was awarded the title of knight, which he deserved.

Sooner or later, I will do the same and become a master.

Jack secretly swears in his heart.

Next, the busiest one is the Star Chamber Court.

The Dark Blade and the Palace Intelligence Service are only responsible for arresting people, and the trial is left to them.

It's a pity that they only have more than 100 people, and they worked overtime overnight. It took about a month to review the 2,000 people.

After reporting, there were no mistakes or omissions. Almost all of them were Calvinists, and the few who made mistakes were hooligans and were arrested.

In this way, the biggest trial case since Edward came to the throne is over.

In order to consolidate his rule, Edward did not punish them like France and Spain, but exiled them to Ireland.

This is his deliberate decision.

More than 2,000 people did not commit a crime, and they were killed directly. He couldn't accept it, it was too inhumane.

Or exile to Ireland! Here he directly regards it as a place of exile, and there is a shortage of people anyway, so it is such a happy decision.

Therefore, more than two thousand people at one time were transferred to the island of Ireland.

And the Supreme United Court of the United Kingdom announced that Calvinism was added to the blacklist, and all people in the United Kingdom were not allowed to believe in it.

Moreover, it also emphasized that any citizen must believe in the state religion. This is the real Christian orthodoxy, and those who violate it will be severely punished.

Immediately afterwards, the Anglican sect declared Calvinism to be a heresy and advised everyone not to believe in it.

In this way, the nobles and commoners also knew the situation, and the kingdom returned to calm.

So, with the passing of 1556, this sudden inquisition in the United Kingdom also came to an end.
