Chapter 167 Lao Zhangren
The Marquis of Whitehead looked at Brown Jennings with a smile on his face, like an approachable elder, which is also the impression he usually gives.
He was an important minister of the empire but he did not have the airs of a superior. Everyone knows that the marquis likes talented young people. No matter whether the young man was born from a noble or a civilian, as long as he thought you were useful to the empire, he would promote you...
He discovered many young talents for the empire, and then used these young officials to promote the empire to reform some backward old systems. He was a leader in the imperial reformists.
Brown is a ninth-level high-level magician, and now he is the vice dean of the Dock Magic Academy. After the Dock Magic Academy merges with Saroyang Magic Academy, he will definitely enter the management of the expanded Saroyang Magic Academy.
Young and promising, he will surely make a fortune after marrying the daughter of Governor Marcelus.
As long as the Marquis of Whitehead can return to the empire safely, with Brown's current age, he will definitely be able to enter the imperial cabinet in the future.
And Miss Anne is so beautiful...
Everyone sighed in their hearts: Brown is really the winner in life!
Anne walked to the Marquis of Whitehead with Brown in her arms, warning her father not to have any excessive thoughts about Brown.
The Marquis just laughed, not responding to Anne's warning.
He was really curious about this Brown Jennings. He knew very well that Brown and Anne had never met before, so why did Anne suddenly send a telegram saying she wanted to get engaged to Brown?
Annie is not an ordinary child. Her engagement with Brown can be said to have influenced the entire Florminck Empire politics. But she insisted on this decision and did not give any reason.
Marquis Whitehead knew her daughter very well. Her willingness to get engaged to Brown means that Brown has a higher value than this.
Therefore, after the Marquis agreed to Anne, he immediately investigated the Jennings family.
The Jennings family is a military family, but there has never been any senior officers for generations. The children of the family are all good at charging forward.
There is nothing special about this family and its history.
When the Marquis summoned Baron Jennings himself, he did not find that the family had any high value.
There is also Reed Jennings, who graduated from the Royal Military Academy of the Empire and was a lieutenant company commander in the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, an ordinary low-level officer.
Then... the thing Anne's interest in has nothing to do with the Jennings family, and it is about Brown himself.
Seeing Anne's nervous look at this moment, Marquis Whitehead was even more convinced of his judgment.
"Brown..." The Marquis held Brown's hand affectionately and said, "This is our first time meeting. I am very satisfied with you. Anne is very willful. I have always been worried that she will like those bastards who can only lie to girls with sweet words, but after seeing you, I feel relieved.
Now I'm here in Saroyang, and we can often have morning tea together in the future and talk about your views on this city and country."
Brown was about to answer, and Anne said first: "Father... Brown is really busy. You know he is the deputy dean of the Dock Magic Academy and also serves as a professor in the junior department of magic.
I'm afraid he won't have time to chat with you when the new semester begins.
And Brown has no interest in politics, and you don’t have a common topic. I think you should talk to Speaker Peters now, and he seems to have something urgent to tell you."
Marquis Whitehead turned around and saw the Speaker who looked very bad-looking came to him.
"Marquis Marquis, your banquet was very good. But I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable... I'm sorry, I had to leave early."
Speaker Peters, who came to the banquet, was always concerned about the transfer of weapons of the Azure Cathedral, so when he dealt with all kinds of people coming to chat, he always paid attention to the sky outside through the window.
When the red signal flare rises, he has a bad premonition. When he sees more and more signal flares rise, many of which are not released by his own personnel, he knows that there are big problems with today's plan.
All the people involved in the transfer of weapons are retreating quickly, and it is impossible to transport the weapons in the church at this time.
Speaker Peters now needs to understand what was going on outside. He wanted to leave quietly, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
"The Governor has an order that no one can go out before the banquet ends."
Everyone was under house arrest here.
Not knowing what the Marquis of Whitehead did tonight, Speaker Peters knew that he could not stay here, so he found the Marquis and made up an excuse.
Hearing the Speaker's discomfort, the Marquis said with concern: "At this time, all the hospitals in Saroyang City must be closed.
Fortunately... I have my private doctor in the Governor's Office. The Speaker can let them take a look. You have been working hard for the government affairs of the Marcelese province for a long time, which is a very burden on your body. If you are really sick, it will be a major loss to the empire.
I suggest you have a good checkup from my personal doctor, and it is best if you can put down your work and rest for a while."
How dare Speaker Peters let the Marquis’ private doctor see the doctor? I’m afraid they can even see the disease if they are not sick. The Speaker reiterated and said, “Marquis, this is not a serious problem. I have prepared medicine at home, so I can just go back and take the medicine myself. In addition, I remember that there are important things that need me to deal with..."
The Marquis would never let Speaker Peters leave at this time. He said: "My people told me that there seemed to be some chaos in the blue city. It is really too dangerous for you to go home now. Why not send someone to the Speaker's house to get medicine. There are silver wings in the Governor's Mansion and fly directly over... very quickly.
And there is nothing more important in the entire Marcelese Province than in my place of Governor of Marcelese.
The banquet here allowed them to continue. We went to the meeting room on the second floor to discuss my inauguration tomorrow."
Speaker Peters knew that he had fallen into the trap of Marquis Whitehead. Even if he wanted to know what happened to the Blue Cathedral, the people inside could not go out and the news outside could not be sent in, and he had no choice.
I can only admit defeat!
This important cabinet minister who was relied on by the imperial emperor is indeed not simple.
No longer distracted from the outside, the Speaker took the same position as Marquis of Whitehead and said, "I feel much better if I don't need to send someone to my house for medicine."
There is indeed nothing more important in the past two days than the Marquis taking office as Governor of Marcelus.
I am also looking forward to... the Parliament and the Governor's Office join hands to lead Marcelus into a more glorious era."
"Please..." Marquis Whitehead made an invitation.
