So, Edward glanced at the pretty Mary Hamilton, then at the black and dull bear in front of him, sighed, and then continued his fishing career.

When he sat down and was about to start, the stupid bear arched his clothes, with a look of refusing to give up.

"Mary, get it away!" Edward turned around in desperation, and said to Mary beside him.

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Mary agreed crisply, and then grabbed the stupid bear's ears with her two jade-like arms, and pulled them back vigorously.

Stupid bear endured the pain, looked straight at Edward, full of pleading expressions, and backed away in small steps, looking extremely pitiful.

The reason why it allows the red-haired Mary to pull the ear is mainly because the stupid bear has been fed by several Marys since it was adopted by Edward, so it is very familiar.

Edward didn't appreciate it at all, and started his own fishing business on his own.

"Your Majesty, this is new information!" At this moment, a young man of seventeen or eighteen came over from the guards and whispered into the young king's ear.

"Oh! Really?" Edward took the note in his hand, looked at it carefully, and muttered softly.

The note recorded in detail the situation after Adler Todd returned home yesterday. Regarding this, Edward smiled and said casually:

"Well, it seems that my banker's attitude is pretty good!"

He turned his head, looked at the young face of Jack, the leader of the Palace Intelligence Department, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: Young is good!

"In the future, the supervision over him must continue, don't relax, the Jews are still unreliable, you have to remember!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A trace of surprise appeared on Jack's stern face, and he immediately agreed.

"By the way, recently, how many officials in England have gone to Ireland!"

Looking at Jack's face, Edward immediately thought of something and asked.

"Your Majesty, in the past half a month, a total of more than 100 people have been investigated for corruption, and there are more than 300 people who went to Ireland and their family members. No detailed information has been obtained this month!"

Jack kept his face cold as usual, lowered his head, and said respectfully.

"Really? This surprised me, and I was a little worried. Didn't the people admitted last year have vacant official positions?"

Edward smiled softly when he heard these numbers, not taking it seriously.

"Let's go! Let's chat while walking!" Edward put down the fishing rod directly and started walking along the river.

Seeing this, Jack took a look and followed silently.

"What about Ireland? What about the expansion of immigration strongholds?"

Edward looked at the rippling river surface and the swans playing wantonly, and asked casually.

"Currently speaking, in the Ulster province, Mr. Lemire Watson is expanding the fastest, and Sir John Perrott is close behind. It is not far away to achieve the set goal!"

Of course Jack knew that His Majesty the King was only interested in the first place, and the others were not.

Of course, Sir John Perrott is also a part of His Majesty's interest. After all, he is the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, and His Majesty the King values ??him.

"Oh! It's not Sir John, that Lemire is very good!"

Edward was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first place was not the most valued John Perrott, but also an unknown newcomer.

"What did he do before?" Although he selected the eighteen people by himself, he would not remember them all. It's not just talk that noble people forget things.

"He was originally a small official in Baihu District, and then went to Cambridgeshire in East England. After being promoted, he was sent to Ireland by you!"

When he was informed that His Majesty the King had summoned him and was by his side, Jack knew that he had a chance to perform.

As a close minister, only gaining the trust of the king is the main reason for him to maintain his current status. If His Majesty the King is dissatisfied with him, there is a risk of being replaced.

He has already memorized all the content of the report, and he blurted it out.

"That's okay. Sure enough, there are still many talents among the common people!"

Sighing, Edward glanced at Jack.

"What about Scotland?"

...

In the following time, Edward talked with Jack for a while, and finally learned about what happened in the past few months.

August, the 8th, around three o'clock in the morning, the whole of London was in darkness, the sound of birds was hard to hear, and the crescent moon in the sky seemed dim.

At this time, London, instead of the peace and tranquility of the past, became noisy, with pedestrians coming and going on the road, talking a lot.

Sellers of hot bread, umbrellas, pens, and so on. They yelled as they walked, and they dissipated a lot of the cold at night.

The houses on the side of the road were also lit with oil lamps one by one, illuminating the bustling street brightly, and the faces of pedestrians were vaguely discernible.

London Hotel, exclusive floor in Lincolnshire.

Eaton put on his clothes, and put his pen and dry food into the package.

Looked at the weather again, then put the umbrella in, and then took a few coats and put them in.

The weather in London is unpredictable and cannot be viewed with common sense.

Besides, five exams, two consecutive days, locked in a small room, eating and drinking for two days, can not go out.

Necessary preparations should be done.

Picking up his bag, he walked out the door. At this time, one after another, people, like him, walked out of the room and started to take the exam.

Seeing these familiar faces, Eaton nodded and ignored them, ignoring the changing pale complexions.

Eaton didn't care at all about how they behaved. He walked downstairs expressionlessly and got into his exclusive carriage.

This carriage will **** them to the newly established test center, which is about three miles away.

At half past four, everyone got into the carriage, and the carriage started.

Nervousness is the expression of everyone, and the next time is a critical moment to determine their future.

Civilians and officials are different.

The carriage drove slowly, and when it arrived at the examination site, the sky was also slightly pale, and it started to drizzle a little.

After docking, Eaton got out of the carriage and looked around.

On the flat ground, the carriages stopped one after another. The signs on the carriages were of different colors. Hundreds of people got off one by one. In a blink of an eye, the flat ground was already full of people.

In front of the flat ground, a huge courtyard is located here. Hundreds of selected policemen and guards are guarding in front of the gate, watching them, pointing and pointing.

Eaton and the others opened an umbrella, and a dozen people formed a group, waiting for the gate to open.

At eight o'clock, the whole exam officially began, a two-day arduous process.
