Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1318 The entire plan was disrupted.

Da Bao was already fearless, and now that the Queen of England was by his side, he became even more unscrupulous.

Da Bao pointed to Bedford and said to the Queen.

"This old guy is arrogant. He seems to look down on you. Let me tell you, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate someone like that."

The Empress said calmly.

"That's because he has the right to be arrogant. The Norfolk family, the Bedford family, and my maternal grandfather's Stratmore family are all related by marriage."

Bedford is my mother's cousin and my godfather, which is why he was able to get underage Charles to sign. But these people think they can fool me? They're kidding me.

Da Bao finally understood why that old man Deng was so arrogant. It turned out he was the Queen's godfather. Now things were getting a bit tricky.

While the two were chatting, something happened down below.

Arthur raised his pistol, pointing the muzzle at the Duke of Bedford's forehead, while Susanna grinned and raised her submachine gun, pointing it at the special forces members.

There are no fewer than ten members of the House of Lords attending this reception. What are English MPs for? They're there to pick fights.

During these meetings, some people would go up and practice boxing, others would slap them, and some even dared to punch the prime minister. It was utterly lawless. Unfortunately, this had become a habit over the past hundred years.

Those who get beaten up get up and keep going; many, fearing they can't beat the Prime Minister in boxing, will throw their shoes at his face. This is the English House of Lords.

Here, a lady can turn into a shrew, and a gentleman can turn into a rogue. The empress knows all this, but chooses to turn a blind eye, because she deliberately created all of this.

If these members of parliament form cliques, they can impeach even a prince, let alone a duke.

Congressman Jason Slime stepped forward and said arrogantly.

"Duke of Bedford, according to British law, your title of duke is merely a symbol and an honor, without any political rights to participate in the nation."

I remember that you voluntarily refused the invitation from the House of Lords, which means that you have given up the rights given to you by the state. Yet, in front of us, the representatives of the general public, you want to strip another duke, who is also a member of parliament, of his title and send him to a mental hospital.

"Who gave you the audacity? Who gave you the authority? And you, Colonel Nick Bedford, what right do you have to mobilize troops? Do you consider the Imperial Navy your personal property?"

English MPs are known worldwide for their sharp tongues and quick wit, and this barrage of accusations left the Duke of Bedford and his son completely stunned.

Bedford was a rather arrogant and self-willed man. Relying on his status as the Queen's godfather, he wanted to bully a child without any elders. He believed that no one would stand up for Arthur and offend him.

Unexpectedly, some of these congressmen dared to defy him. He could bear the accusations, but his second son, Nick Bedford, couldn't. He had secretly brought out a portion of the Navy Special Forces.

He and his father had already discussed it and agreed that they would try to use only deterrence and not force, and then give some money to these special forces members, and the matter would be resolved satisfactorily.

He panicked when the congressman asked him that question, and the soldiers with guns nearby were also stunned. Although they knew that the people at this party were not ordinary people,

Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen members of the House of Lords alone. These people always look for trouble, let alone such a big handle that has fallen into their hands.

As soon as Jason finished speaking, more than a dozen members of parliament emerged, accusing the Duke of Bedford and his son of abusing their power to persecute others.

The Duke of Bedford was enraged; he brandished his cane and roared.

“I am the Duke of England and the Queen’s Godfather. You should all listen to me, not stand up and criticize me…”

The Queen, listening from the second floor, kept shaking her head. She couldn't let Bedford continue; if he did, the royal family would lose all face. Moreover, she could imagine that by noon the next day, the entire House of Lords and the House of Commons would receive documents impeaching Bedford.

If Bedford can successfully acquire the Norfolk family's wealth, then his faction in the House will have succeeded, because according to their analysis, the Norfolk family's wealth is over a billion dollars, enough to make them live a life of luxury.

However, after investigation, the Queen learned that Bedford's success was impossible because Arthur had an ally, or rather a close friend, Duke Charlotte Chin of Denmark.

Charlotte, despite her investigations, still didn't know how much money he had. All she knew was that he was a major shareholder in HSBC and Standard Chartered, both banks that can issue currency.

With these two major banks under his control, his wealth rivals that of three of Europe's largest families. They can casually hand over five or ten billion US dollars. Even if you swallow up the Norfolk family, so what? They can easily create another century-old family with the money they give away.

So the Queen received the report from Prince Charles and rushed here with her guards. Sure enough, if she didn't show herself, given Charlotte's methods, the Duke of Bedford would definitely not live to see tomorrow, and tomorrow's newspapers would make her lose all face.

The Queen roared angrily.

"Bedford, shut up!"

As he walked down the steps, Da Bao curled his lip. This woman was really protective of her own. Now, he couldn't even bring himself to kill Bedford.

Bedford and the others were startled by the shout and quickly looked up. What they saw shocked them.

Her Majesty the Queen, with an icy expression, descended the steps. Arthur and Susanna quickly placed their guns on the ground and bowed in respect.

Bedford clutched his chest, completely bewildered. How could the Queen be here? Shouldn't she have sent someone to deliver the report to him?

Then he planned to take Arthur to a mental hospital and kill him, and then let Ruth take over the Norfolk family's property as his widow. That was his plan. How come everything has changed now?

The dignitaries were also dumbfounded, including Henry Macmillan. They stared in astonishment at Charlotte, who was following the Queen with a nonchalant air, and countless huge question marks appeared in their minds.

Who exactly is this Asian man? If it weren't for his obviously Asian features, everyone would have thought Charlotte was the Queen's lover or illegitimate child...
