"Escaped?"

The same question was asked by Mrs. Miya, who was gossiping with her daughter, and it contained something else.

"Yes ma'am, but I'm sorry that man disappeared at the time, he killed several of us." Bochum replied with an ugly face, what he thought was a trivial matter turned out to be such a loss for him in front of the palace minister's wife, and even worse, the panic caused by the complete surprise directly disrupted the previous plan, and he didn't even have time to arrange for someone to take the opportunity to enter Alfonso's priest's palace in the name of searching for fugitives.

"Isn't it time to send someone to search for the fugitives at once, Captain?" Mrs. Gong Xiang asked lightly, her trimmed and equally faint eyebrows were raised lightly, this action made Bochum's heart beat a little fast, in fact, he didn't know that this was actually Mrs. Gong Xiang expressing dissatisfaction.

"You know it's a bit far from the Husa River......"

Madame Palace's eyebrows moved again, and although Bochum didn't explain, he already understood what he meant.

Obviously, although it is a good way to enter the priest's palace in the name of chasing the fugitives, because Clarion escaped from the beginning, it would be too obvious if the priest's palace was searched directly, and the main thing is that Alfonso is not Malejo, compared to the already notorious Malejo, if the means against Alfonso are too obvious, it is likely to bring bad results.

Mrs. Gong Xiang sighed secretly, from the beginning of the cooperation to now becoming an enemy, Alfonso's ambition made her uneasy, her husband's death did not bring her much blow, but Alfonso made her feel the crisis.

"Thank you, Captain," she nodded to Bochum, "but I still hope that your men will catch that Crean soon, you know he is important to all of us." “

Madame Miyasang's words were a little strange, she did not say how important this person was to investigate the bloody night, or even how important it was to find out about her husband's murder, but to everyone, which made Bochum can't help but have a kind of reverie.

"Rest assured, ma'am, my men will find that Crean." Bochum bowed deeply, and after taking the hand of the palace minister and kissing it, he took a few steps back respectfully before turning and walking out of the room.

"Mother, why are you so polite to such a vulgar mercenary?" When Bochum walked away, the girl who had been standing beside the palace minister asked a little dissatisfied, although she was still young, but her tone was full of the tone of a little adult, and her eyes did not match her age, which was not only sensible, but also very scheming.

"Vulgar mercenaries can sometimes be useful people, don't forget that the Sforza family in Milan is a mercenary," the palace minister taught her daughter, and then smiled softly, "Of course, this Bochum can't become a Sforza, but he can be a good helper for us, don't forget that if we want to avenge your father, we need the help of many people." ”

"I must avenge my father," the girl said with a look of hatred on her face, she bit her lip hard, and clenched her two small fists tightly, "They actually killed him." ”

Mrs. Gong Xiang squatted down and looked up slightly at her daughter in front of her.

"Remember, you have to avenge your father, but don't let hatred get your way, because then you won't be able to see many things clearly, and then you will be taken advantage of."

"Mother, what is more important than avenging your father," the girl looked confused, "Isn't everything we do to find the murderer of our father?" ”

"Of course, my darling," Madame Miyasho felt the need to teach her daughter well, "although your father's death is a tragedy, I believe that if your father knew about it, he would have supported what I said to you, so we should look further and more, and not just avenge your father." ”

The girl groaned slightly, then nodded slightly.

When Alfonso heard the news of Crean's escape, he was about to tell a group of young monks about some of the famous difficulties of the Gospels concerning the Lord's salvation.

Hearing the whispered report from his entourage, Alfonso paused slightly, and continued to walk without stopping.

The sound of chanting echoed through the church, as if there was a gaze from the darkness at this moment, watching these servants of God who had sworn to dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ.

Alfonso lifted the Bible from the table in front of him, muttered slightly, and slowly closed it again.

He stared at those who were looking at him, then raised his hand.

"When a woman was sinned for her virtue, and the people wanted to be punished, Jesus Christ asked the people, who could throw the stone of punishment for his moral purity, and the people were silent......"

Alfonso spoke, his voice clear but not outstanding, full of calmness and wisdom, which made everyone seem to be fascinated at this moment.

"Some people say that this is Jesus Christ questioning the world, who thinks that he will judge others by morality," Alfonso's gaze swept over the people below, and he was slightly surprised to see Alexander sitting behind a group of priests in the distance, the young man seemed to be listening very seriously at this time, "but in fact, this is the Lord Christ asking who is not qualified to judge by morality." ”

A faint but obviously surprised argument rang out, and people from both clergy and secular people looked at Alfonso in surprise.

The reason for this surprise is that everyone knows that his explanation not only contradicts the teachings that have been confirmed by the Church for thousands of years, but even goes beyond the understanding of those basic doctrines.

"Excuse me, priest," a priest stood up, his face a little ugly, his ears slightly sharp and trembling with excitement, "are you speaking openly about your exposition of the Gospels?" ”

"Yes, my brother," Alfonso smiled and nodded, not in the least disturbed by the greater commotion caused by this statement, "we know that in the Gospels Jesus Christ warns us again and again through the mouth of his apostles, and at the same time makes us understand again and again that God's tolerance for the world is not eternal, and that God's forgiveness comes from our repentance and desire to wash away our sins, not from pampering us again and again with such kindness. Because of this, when Jesus Christ rose from the cross, God took His beloved only Son and left us on earth to continue to atone for our sins. ”

The suppressed discussion became louder, and the people looked at Alfonso in amazement, wondering what was wrong with the priest, how he could suddenly say such a thing.

Some of the parish bishops sitting in front of them were already whispering, but for a moment they didn't know whether to stop Alfonso's words.

"The sacrifice of Christ the Lord and the sacrifice of God for His only Son is all because of mercy on us, but if we fail to cherish this mercy, it is a betrayal of this noble sacrifice." Alfonso was not at all concerned about the actions of the men below, his gaze swept over everyone, and then paused slightly when he saw Alexander: "A man once said that Oedipus's escape from fate in Greek pagan mythology is actually the pursuit of the desire for crime, which is why he eventually became a tragic figure, and I will tell this person that the coming of the Lord is to wash away this crime." ”

"Is he crazy?" A bishop finally couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him, "What is he talking nonsense, why is he using that analogy, doesn't he know that to say the name Oedipus here is blasphemy?" ”

"Blasphemy!" Alfonso said suddenly, and at the same time he raised his hand and gestured to the bishop, "Yes, this is blasphemy, but what I want to say is, who among us can say that he has no original sin, so in that case, why can we still measure others by their guilty selves, who has given us the right?" ”

At this, Alfonso had a small smile on his face.

"That's what we're going to talk about today, since every sinful person has no right to judge others, isn't it true that we can fall completely, and the only thing we should fear is that we will go to hell after death, but we can be more unscrupulous in the world, and this is the purpose of Jesus Christ's self-sacrifice?"

The following discussion gradually became smaller, and the uneasiness and surprise turned into solemn listening, and the bishops, in surprise, whispered to the people next to them to take out their pen and paper and begin to take notes.

Alfonso was still smiling, and he let out a long breath as he surveyed the people below again, but this time his eyes were no longer so casual, but with a falcon-like sharpness.

"Everyone is guilty, then everyone should be punished too, Jesus did not deprive us of the right to punish, on the contrary, Christ's mercy does not come from forgiveness and forgiveness of sin, but from the punishment of sin."

"But if so, then what about the atonement, the Lord is forgiving, and he allows the world to atone for their sins."

It was still the same priest who had questioned before, and he seemed a little unsure of how to question Alfonso's words, but he still knew it completely.

"That's why there is an amulet, but do you think that an amulet exchanged for money can really pay for the depravity caused by the sin committed?"

Alfonso looked at the priest and asked, and when he saw that the priest was still about to speak, he raised his hand to stop him.

"Listen to me," Alfonso's voice raised slightly, as if he was considering how to phrase it, and after a little silence, he continued, "Atonement is the only way for everyone to avoid going to hell in the future, so we have to ask, who decides you, you, and you," Alfonso's hand pointed slowly in the crowd, and everyone he pointed to couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if the secret of his heart was suddenly revealed to everyone at this moment, "Who will decide which of us will go to hell?" Is it up to us to decide, or can someone decide? ”

Alfonso said "someone" very seriously, which made many people below feel inexplicable.

"The Lord sacrificed for the world, and only the Lord can save the world."

Alfonso's voice echoed through the church, and the people who were listening were already in a state of inexplicable unease.

Alexander sat in the crowd and listened in amazement, he didn't know much about the doctrine, but he could guarantee that he would be more surprised than everyone in the room.

At that moment, he saw Osborne, who had quietly squeezed to the side.

"That Krion, escaped." The tailor said with a look of chagrin.
