Chapter 1024: Bristol's Miscalculation
An hour ago, Holy City Square.
After a stampede, the square was in shambles. At least a thousand were trampled to death, and hundreds more were cut off by the Praetorian Guard's Sword of Faith.
If it weren't for the Right Son, the Former Son, and the Rear Son to pull out the Praetorian Guards under their command and suppress them, there might have been even greater chaos.
The soldiers held aloft crosses and blocked every exit of the square, finally stopping the rioting citizens. That's when people think of looking for their loved ones. However, as long as it is lying on the ground, it is out of gas. For a time, the cry in the square shook the sky.
Bristol stood on the high platform with a gloomy face, looking at the crowd below.
Last night, Bristol and Mars and the right, the former and the latter were discussing how to force "John" out, and Mars came forward and said that he had a solution. Just then, Bristol spotted someone on the roof and immediately interrupted Mars. Then "John" appeared. After he had beaten "John" away, let Mars continue to contribute.
As a result, Mars proposed that John's relatives be taken to the Holy City Square to be hanged in public, and that the whole city be forced to see them. He believed that this method would definitely force "John" out.
Bristol adopted Marles' plan and had John's relatives arrested overnight. Originally, John had only one relative, his mother. Bristol felt that this was not very safe, and if the old woman committed suicide, the plan would be in vain. So, they arrested a woman who often claimed to be John's fiancée.
Bristol personally arranged the ambush, not only sent all the Janissaries, but also went into battle himself. It turned out to be such a big accident.
Because of this accident, people looked at him with fear and anger, and they were no longer in awe and worship before. He really wanted to kill all these people, but when he thought that he would need these people's support in the future, he finally held back the anger in his heart.
"My people, the riot just now was caused by John's devil. I want you to work with me to get John. I will kill him with my own hands to avenge your dead relatives!"
Bristol's voice resounded throughout the audience. If before, as soon as his voice fell, there would be enthusiastic applause and cheers from the people. But today there is no response at all.
Bristol was embarrassed when he suddenly heard John's mother under the gallows shout: "Master, my son is just an ordinary soldier, how can he have such ability to cause a riot? You don't want to splash any dirty water on my son's body, I don't accept it!"
Mars, who was standing next to Bristol, was furious, and he immediately rushed over to give the old woman a few slaps. He had just approached when he suddenly heard a soldier next to him whisper a reminder: "My lord, don't touch her!"
Mars was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes to see the four executioners who had fallen to the ground. The four men were violently assaulting John's mother, but they collapsed for no apparent reason. This is for his good, and he can't help but appreciate it.
Thinking of this, Mars turned back to Bristol and asked, "Lord Sect, do you want to kill John's mother and his fiancée?"
Bristol shook his head: "Not busy, as long as they are here, John will definitely come to save them." I'll just wait here, and if John dares to come, I'll let him die without a place to be buried!"
Mars immediately cocked his thumb: "The sect leader is wise, with such a bait, I'm not afraid that John won't come!"
At the same time, he was relieved in his heart. If the Sect Master asked him to kill, he was also afraid of the same fate as the four executioners.
Bristol had already examined the four executioners, and they were all dead, and they had been stung to death by poisonous bees. But there are no such bees in this space. He didn't say anything like this to anyone, so as not to cause panic among everyone. Even to Mars, he only said that the four men had fallen for John's tricks and died.
But, again, this is not a good reason. Now, Mars didn't dare to get too close to the corpses, for fear that he too would fall for John's tricks.
Hearing the conversation between Mars and Bristol, John's mother began to scream again: "Don't you come! Mom doesn't have a few days to live, and now she is dead, and it's not worth your ride!"
However, John's fiancée contradicted his future mother-in-law: "John, you who have been stabbed a thousand times, I have been implicated by you before I even enter your house." If you don't get me out, I won't spare you!"
Hearing her future daughter-in-law say this, John's mother immediately reprimanded her: "Shut up! My son didn't take a fancy to you, but you forced it up! Now my son is unlucky, and you start to regret it, it's too late!"
Listening to the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, everyone on the side couldn't help laughing. However, with the sect leader here, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and everyone worked so hard.
After a while, Mars cautiously asked, "Sect Master, is John not coming?"
Bristol sneered: "His mother and fiancée are here, can he not come?"
Mars said: "My subordinates are worried that he will not use any tricks, such as diverting the tiger from the mountain......
Before Marles could finish speaking, Bristol's face changed. He still remembers the scene last night, did "John" go to his crystal ball?
Thinking of this, Bristol immediately said, "You put these two women in prison, I'll go back to the church first!"
Bristol flew as fast as Hao Ren, and soon, he came to the church.
In fact, Bristol also arranged a lot of guards in the church, even if these people could not protect his safety, at least they could be eyes and ears, make a sound, call the police or something.
When the bishop returned, the guards immediately bowed and greeted him. Every time Bristol saw a guard, he asked, "Was there anything unusual just now?"
"No!" said each of the guards.
Hearing the guard's words, Bristol's tense heartstrings could finally relax a little. However, he was still not at ease, and walked towards the basement where the treasure was placed on his body.
From the yard to the hallway to the basement, there are several doors, all locked and intact. Bristol was in a better mood. He would also comfort himself that the basement where he hid his treasure was known only to him, and that the key was only in his own hands, so that "John" would not be able to find this place.
Bristol entered the basement hopefully, and the first thing he looked at was the small square table. The crystal ball is gone! Nothing is missing in the room, only the crystal ball is missing!
