  The people who were eating the bread were startled, with hesitant expressions on their faces.

   Just when everyone was terrified, footsteps outside the courtyard wall came to the woodshed, and there was nowhere to escape.

  Grey face and big round face are no exception. Their faces are ashen, and they have fallen into a desperate situation.

  Before the woodshed that appeared, there were six men with daggers hanging from their waists, capes on their bodies, and gold-rimmed boots on their feet, coming in a menacing manner.

   But what is strange is that each of them either lost an ear or lost an arm. Almost all six of them are disabled.

   Even so, Gray Face and Big Round Face didn't intend to lead their subordinates to resist and escape at all.

   It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't.

   Appearing in front of their eyes was the officer directly affiliated to the City of London Government, a well-known City of London, City Management Office.

  These officers are all composed of retired soldiers from the army.

  Although each of them is physically disabled, they dare to fight and kill each of them. When they fight and kill people, they are called ruthless!

  Don't look at the whole London is now clean and tidy, the sewers are unobstructed, and the housing construction standards are correct. These are all because of these people from the City Management Office.

  Because they wear white cloaks, they are called white demons from hell.

  London's streets and alleys have been circulating their legends.

  In London, you don't have to be afraid of the Mayor of London, but you have to be afraid of two kinds of people: one is wearing a white cloak, and the other is wearing a black cloak.

  Wearing a white cloak is a person from the city management office. He patrols the streets and alleys of London every day. When he sees you spitting, he immediately slaps you with a scabbard.

   Once a jazz was whipped, and immediately went to complain to the king. Who knew that His Majesty the King not only did not uphold justice for him, but rewarded the whipper.

   In this way, the urban management knights (they think they are knights) became more vigorous, looking like the second child of God, the king, and their own third child.

  The ones in black cloaks are the policemen. The law enforcement officers in London are as powerful as the urban management, and they are equally prestigious among the people.

  So, when they saw such a distinctive costume, everyone immediately lost their legs and lost all thoughts of running away.

   "Hehe! Unexpectedly, there are a group of people who escaped here. It's really surprising!"

  The leader was a middle-aged man with a broken arm, with a full beard and big eyes. Although he lost an arm, when he spoke, a kind of power suddenly rose.

  Especially that smiley face, Gray Face and the others had goose bumps all over their bodies, as if standing in front of them was a tiger.

  The middle-aged man with the broken arm laughed, and without looking at them, he said to the people around him:

   "Let's take them away. It looks like we are ahead this time. Today is really a happy day. This annoying rain looks a little cute!"

   "Yeah! Head, we must be number one again, and the other teams will probably be disgraced again!"

"Hahaha-"

  The man on the side interrupted, and the others seemed to see how their team was being praised, and there was a burst of laughter immediately, shaking the roof.

  The gray face and the big round face glanced at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

  The two of them knew that after fleeing so many times, they had to go to Ireland this time.

  Let this group of urban management officers tie their hands and string them together, and the ten beggars wandering in London will disappear from now on, and they will become new immigrants from Ireland.

  ……………………

   While the urban management officers were dispatched one by one to arrest beggars and refugees in London, the London City Police were also very busy, arresting suspicious persons everywhere in London.

   Let them work hard in the wind and rain, because this is an order issued by the Privy Council, and the London City Government has to obey it.

  Actually, the person who issued the order behind the scenes is actually His Majesty the Great King.

  As for why there is such an order, there is naturally a necessary reason for it.

  Because he got the news that on July 7th of this year, Prince Philip of Spain and His Royal Highness Princess Mary of England will return to England to visit His Majesty the King.

   Edward welcomes this.

  Prince Philip is the only heir to the mighty Kingdom of Spain. His visit is of great benefit to England.

   Not Edward self-deprecating, in Europe.

  The weight of the king of England is not comparable to that of Prince Philip, especially England, which lost the French throne war, not to mention.

   Besides that, and even more surprising to Edward, it was next year, 1556, if he remembered right.

  The current King Charles V of Spain will automatically abdicate and give the throne to His Royal Highness the Prince.

   In other words, Prince Philip will inherit the throne next year, inheriting all lands except Austria and the title of Holy Roman Emperor.

  He will inherit the following territories: Spain, Netherlands, Sicily and Naples, Franche-Comté, Milan, and all Spanish American and African colonies.

  Prince Philip will be called Philip II, the great king of Spain.

  Of course, Edward also misses Princess Mary very much. After all, he has been with her for more than ten years, and after five years of sudden departure, Edward still misses her deeply.

  Edward watched a lot of court battle scenes in his previous life, so of course he knows the difficulty of being in the court.

  But Edward concluded that with money, everything is easy to negotiate, coupled with Princess Mary's high IQ, and the status of a real princess, she is enough to stand tall in the court.

  In order to make Princess Mary get along better in the court, Edward instructs the royal caravan every year and sends her 10,000 pounds every year.

   And explained that she took the initiative to give half to Prince Philip. After all, he has not inherited the throne, and the income from the territory alone is not enough.

  The arrival of Prince Philip this time, Edward believes that it is an opportunity to continue to deepen the relationship. After all, England still needs the Spanish market to grow.

  So, for the safety of the prince and his wife.

  Edward requested that a large-scale investigation be launched throughout London to completely expel those beggars and refugees, and to investigate those suspicious elements.

  Prince Philip's safety is too important, if he has a little loss in London.

  England's current navy cannot beat Spain's huge navy, so it can only deliver food.

  Protecting the safety of Prince Philip has become Edward's first request.

   It’s not that Edward is suspicious. At this time, there are too many people who want to assassinate Prince Philip. The Dutch independence faction, the Portuguese nobles, and the French all have this idea.

   It would be fine if it was elsewhere, Edward would be happier dead.

  But not in England, England can't bear this blame.
