Facing the crying of his wife and children, he just glanced helplessly, and then looked darkly into the room, where the group of sword-carrying men in black were lavishly flipping through his belongings, showing no mercy at all.
Within a short while, a hill was piled up in the courtyard, a hill made of gold coins and silver coins, which made the onlookers open their mouths in surprise and sighed endlessly.
Facing such a scene, Alves was also a little dazed.
Although my family is also in business, it is the first time that so much money has been accumulated in front of me.
It stands to reason that, as the eldest son of the family, countless money passed through his hands, but this was the first time he had a shocking feeling about money.
The gold coins are well maintained. Under the sunlight, the golden light is shining and extremely dazzling.
"Sure enough, gold is the most precious thing in the world.
Whoever has it can command everything he wants. With gold, it is also possible to send souls to heaven! "
Unconsciously, Alves whispered this famous quote from Columbus.
Relying on his own qualities, Alves finally moved his eyes away from the gold, and he took a slow breath.
But what surprised him was that although the surrounding civilians were stunned and salivating obsessively, they restrained their actions very well and did not dare to take a step.
"It's not normal, these civilians can't have my level of cultivation.
Then, there must be someone nearby who frightens them! "
Alves glanced at the surrounding civilians with piercing eyes, and couldn't help guessing in his heart.
For a moment, his eyes turned to the four sword-bearing men in black tights guarding the gate, and his eyes froze for a moment.
"I'm afraid they are the key factor!"
Alves murmured softly.
As if feeling Alves' gaze, the four men in black turned their eyes to Alves at this moment, with a cold light in their eyes, which was meaningful.
Alves was suddenly startled by this, turned his head and avoided his eyes.
With smiles on their lips, the four men in black stared at him for three seconds before returning to their original state.
"Hey, man, you're not from England!"
Alves thought about the strange eyes of these four people, and suddenly felt a voice coming from his ear.
He looked up, and saw a sturdy, wheat-colored man in his twenties leaning over and asking softly with a hint of doubt on his face.
"No, we belong to the same king!"
Alves shook his head lightly and explained.
However, these words made the man confused.
Facing the confusion on the man's face, Alves didn't need to explain.
The first no, is to deny that he is English, that he belongs to the Duchy of Normandy.
We belong to the same king, and declare that he is one with them.
"Man, I'm afraid you don't know, these people belong to the Star Chamber Court!"
The man thought that Alves was from Wales, Scotland, or Ireland, but he was not interested in knowing.
Facing a rookie like Alves, the man has the desire to be a good teacher.
I saw that he was slightly bowed, his face was radiant, and he was extremely airy.
Hearing the explanation, Alves couldn't help but take a deep breath. The reputation of the Star Chamber Court, even in Calais, is famous, and his reputation is even wider than that of the King of England.
And it belongs to the Star Chamber Court, no wonder these civilians are afraid to go forward, it turns out that these people have such a strong background.
"But, let me tell you, they actually come from an organization called the Palace Intelligence Service, and the person directly reporting to him is the young His Majesty the King!"
After squinting at the four men in black, the man whispered furtively, for fear that others would overhear.
"I see--"
There was a sudden realization on Alves' face, which made the man beside him very satisfied with the secret that seemed to be revealed, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
Obviously, this kind of thing made him feel very happy.
Seeing Alves revealing his movements cooperatively, the man couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, as if he wanted to pour out all the secrets in his heart.
"And look at the man standing in the yard. He is the director of the Engineering and Construction Department of Southampton City. He heard that he was reported by someone, and he was targeted by this group of people!"
As he spoke, the man furtively pointed to the silent man standing in the middle of the courtyard, and whispered.
"But, I think it's more than that..."
In the middle of speaking, the man's original babbling suddenly stopped, and he carefully looked around, especially the four men in black who looked like stone pillars, who looked extra cautious.
He shut his mouth and said nothing, and Alves also resisted the doubts in his heart and did not ask any questions.
After a while, the man couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled Alves' arm, pointed to the back, and stepped back.
Alves hesitated for a moment, and followed suit.
This stopped when the two retreated to the back of the crowd.
The man with the big mouth glanced at Alves cunningly, and pouted his mouth lightly, implying something.
And Alves understood what he meant in an instant, in order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, he was willing to spend a little money.
He casually took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it into the hands of the man with a big mouth. The man with a big mouth saw that it was a shilling, and his mouth was so happy that he said hastily.
"I heard that your Excellency, the director, actually believes in a false religion in private, and even shields those believers who believe in a false religion. That's why people from the Palace Intelligence Department will appear!"
"Otherwise, this small corruption case is not worth their hand!"
As he said that, the man with a big mouth showed emotion and even snickered.
"Let me tell you, sir!" The man with the big mouth gloated a little.
"Your Excellency the Minister, and his believers who also believe in false religion, will have all their properties confiscated and fined to go to Ireland to face those false believers every day. I think it must be very pleasant! "
No matter how ignorant he is, Alves still understands that Ireland has always been very repulsive to English people, even if they are also Catholics.
In the face of interests, everything is nothing but belief.
"This is really a touching thing!"
Originally, he was going to say something sad, but when he thought that the people around him believed in the Anglican sect, he decided not to court death.
Also, he is going to hide his beliefs, and England is still a bit dangerous for him.
"Who are you?" Only then did Alves realize that a commoner cannot know these things, and this person in front of him is very dangerous.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Besven, His Majesty the King knew about your arrival, so he specially asked me to invite you over!"
The man with a big mouth waved his hands at the nervous Alves, with a faint smile on his face, explaining slowly.
