Chapter 919: Just Two Votes
Henry did feel that there was a problem, but he couldn't say what was wrong in the process of strict execution, looking at the eyes that were cast left and right at him, and Bishop Caesar, who lowered his head and played with his fingers, he finally sat down slowly with a stiff face.
By failing to point out where the elections were unfair, he was acknowledging their impartiality.
Seeing that the chaos that almost broke out was pressed, Thomas glanced coldly at Lin Zixian again, put down the sword in his hand, and turned to look at Daniel, the papal ceremonial leader, and nodded in greeting.
Daniel immediately said to the stunned censors, "Keep counting the votes." ”
Thomas led his two men back to a corner with his sword in his hand, and stood with his sword in his hands to continue to maintain the order of the election.
A ballot again passed from Inspector A to Inspector C, who loudly announced, "Henry. ”
Lin Zixian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately the third vote did not appear on him again, and he finally raised his head openly to pay attention to the vote count.
Many people's eyes looked at Henry again, but Henry was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was a little reckless just now, only two of the 118 votes came out, so he was in a hurry.
Henry's name immediately appeared on the big blackboard in front of everyone, a vote.
Sometimes I have to sigh at the miracle of the Creator, I don't know if God is joking, maybe God realized what was going to happen in this election, and seemed to be reminding everyone of something, Inspector C got a ballot again and verified, and said loudly: "Henry." ”
Henry's two votes also appeared together in succession, so there were two votes next to Henry's name on the big blackboard, which made Henry a little embarrassed and regretted his previous reckless behavior.
It's just that Lin Daguan is not a good stubble, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes rolled. Suddenly, he slammed the table and pointed at Henry and said angrily: "This is impossible! ”
Just someone shot an arrow, and this guy immediately returned the shot, without hesitation. He only felt that God had eyes, retribution was unhappy, the opportunity for revenge came so soon, and if he didn't know how to use such a good opportunity in front of him, he was really sorry God.
The audience was speechless, but this time everyone did not make any more noise. The counting of votes was interrupted again. Someone looked at Henry and smiled secretly, and touched the horizontal one, right? Bishop Caesar doesn't care about your status as the chief bishop, and when he finds an opportunity, he will immediately make you look good.
The same sentence was sent back without a word, and it was accompanied by a slap on the table as interest. Henry's old face was a little tense. made a fuss, but he didn't have a temper, he was pointed at by Lin Zixian and didn't dare to react, today's old face is a big loss.
Agassi, who was sitting in the back, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, Bishop Henry, who is not good for you to provoke, but you want to provoke this hooligan leader, don't you find excitement for yourself.
Thomas, who was standing with his sword, had a completely sinking face. Of course, he knew that Lin Zixian was taking the opportunity to take revenge, but he didn't look at what place this was or what he was doing, and now he was electing the pope. It's not boxing in the ring.
To be honest, he didn't think that Lin Zixian should appear in this kind of place, there was nothing good about having this guy in the place, and he should be driven out. But he didn't drive Bishop Henry out just now, and naturally there was no reason to drive Lin Zixian out.
Thomas raised his sword again and led the two to the front of the stage. Staring at Lin Zixian, he said in a deep voice: "Bishop Caesar, if you have any opinions about the fairness of the election, you can raise it, and you are not allowed to make noise here!" ”
Lin Zixian waved his hand again at Henry, who was silent, and said loudly: "If he has an opinion on the fairness of the election, I naturally have an opinion, and if he doesn't have an opinion, I don't have an opinion." ”
Slap in the face, slap in the face naked, people are silent, he still refuses to let go, and he has to pull people out and shake them off, Henry's prestige was completely swept away by Lin Ziidle, but he was still dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering from.
Lin Zixian is actually not a person who makes a fuss about nothing, but he thinks that with Bruce making small moves behind his back, it is a sure thing that he will lead the votes behind him.
In order to block everyone's mouth in the back, we must now catch a thorn and slap the face, otherwise everyone will make trouble in the future and overturn the election results, and now we have to give things a make.
Thomas looked at Henry, and his heart was also angry, if you hadn't made trouble first, such a solemn and sacred election could have been made like this? He asked in a deep voice, "Bishop Henry, do you have any doubts about the fairness of the election?" ”
Henry's teeth itched with hatred, and he wanted Caesar to wait until the election was over and see how I cleaned you up.
However, at this time, he still had to stand up, and in front of everyone, his old face turned red and said, "I have no doubts." ”
Thomas asked again: "Bishop Henry, do you recognize the fairness of the election?" ”
Henry held his breath and nodded, "I admit that this is a fair election." After saying that, he immediately sat down.
Thomas looked at Lin Zixian again, "Bishop Caesar, do you have any doubts about the fairness of the election?" ”
Lin Zixian shook his head and said, "I have no doubts. ”
Thomas asked, "Bishop Caesar, do you recognize the fairness of the election?" ”
Lin Zixian smiled: "I admit that this is a fair election. Completely imitating Henry's words, he sat down calmly after speaking, with a comfortable face, and finally let out a bad breath.
Thomas looked around at the crowd and said, "Everyone! If you have any doubts about the fairness of the elections, please raise them now. ”
After waiting for a long time, Thomas said: "Since everyone has no doubts about the fairness of the election, then I now declare that if there is any disruptor of the election order in the future, I will exercise the ultimate judgment power, deprive the perpetrators of the right to choose and be elected, and expel the Sistine!" ”
After a warning, he resolutely turned around and nodded to Daniel, and led the people back to their original positions.
Daniel glanced at Henry, who was so angry that he vomited blood, and shook his head secretly, thinking that Henry's face was so embarrassed today, he turned back to the auditor and said, "Continue counting votes." ”
Auditor C thought that today's election was really full of twists and turns, and after receiving a vote in his hand, he sang again: "Christine." ”
"Joyce."
"Conor Reeves."
"Henry."
"Henry."
"Cecil." ……
The counting of votes in the back went very smoothly, and there were no more accidents. The six bishops of the collegial panel are worthy of the favorites to win the championship, and the six votes are clearly more than the others, especially Henry's vote, which is the first to come.
Lin Zixian, who was about to appear as a dark horse, was really dark, but his face gradually darkened, and the ticket was almost finished, and his name was never heard again.
When all the 118 ballots were sung, a total of 15 people received the votes, including Lin Zixian.
Henry, who led the way, received the highest number of votes in the audience, with 34 votes; Benedict received ten votes; Cecil received eight votes; Felix received eight votes, the same as the former; Joyce received twelve votes; Daniel received ten votes.
The six archbishops of the collegial panel received a total of 82 votes, and the remaining 36 votes were almost equally divided among the other nine voters, which shows the electoral strength of the six archbishops.
And at the beginning, Caesar, who won two votes in a row, and his name ranked first on the big blackboard, only had two votes, only two votes at the beginning, and there was nothing to do with him later, and he got the lowest number of votes, and the situation was very weird. Lin Daguan, who was about to appear as a dark horse, was actually at the bottom......
Lin Zixian suddenly had a fire in his belly, and his face was so gloomy that he could wring out water. Obviously, one of the two votes was voted for himself, and the other vote was cast for himself by Agassi, that is, none of the individuals Bruce said had voted for himself.
Now there are only two situations, either Bruce played himself, otherwise it is impossible for so many people to vote for themselves in such a unified way, if this is the case, Bruce you give Lao Tzu to wait and see, and then Lao Tzu will sue Andy about you bombing David's manor with missiles.
There is also a situation where someone has tampered with the counting process, but he is stunned and does not see which link has been tampered with.
This guy is angry and depressed, he knew that he didn't slap Henry's face just now, but now he is tantamount to slapping himself in the face, he has recognized the fairness of the election, and if he has any more opinions, he will be kicked out of Sistine...... It was uncomfortable to hold his breath, and the key was that he couldn't figure out if Bruce was playing tricks on himself or if someone had tampered with the counting process.
Some people looked at Lin Zixian and then at Agassi. Many people have guessed that these two people are relatively close, and it is estimated that Caesar's two votes were cast by these two people, and the two votes to run for the Pope are really beyond their means.
But it's really weird, just two votes, they were picked up at the beginning, is God joking or hinting at something?
Agassi was uncomfortable with the eyes of some people, and sighed in his heart, Bishop Caesar said that you have no hope, you still don't believe it, why run out and lose this face.
Henry, who was so angry that his face was flushed before, is now calm, with an expressionless face, looking at this support rate, his election should not be a big problem, and his mood is extremely excited.
At the counting of votes, it was the turn of the three correctors to play a role and begin the second round of review. The three correctors checked the signatures of the three reviewers one by one to see if there were any errors, and the front and back were equivalent to six people taking turns to check each vote, and if there was an error in one vote, the election would be invalidated, which shows how cautious it was.
After two rounds of review, the corrector reported that there were no problems, and the ballots were immediately pooled, and all the ballots were thrown into the furnace for destruction under the supervision of the relevant personnel. Someone poured a spoonful of chemical ingredients into the stove.
A puff of black smoke immediately billowed out of the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel, and the believers waiting in St. Peter's Square resounded with a cry of regret, the black smoke represented that the election was inconclusive, and the white smoke indicated that the new Pope was born, and it was clear that the first round of voting did not elect the desired Pope.
"One hundred and eighteen cardinals voted, and no one obtained a two-thirds majority, and the next round of elections resumed," the papal ceremonial proclaimed. ”
