Chapter 359: Execution of the priest

"Why do you want to arrest me, I'm a priest, you are blaspheming God!" Father Pedro was tied up by Li Shixian with a rope in the Chinese style of "five flowers". Li Shixian started very hard and tightened the rope. The priest had evidently never suffered so much, and howled in exasperation.

Yang Xiaoshan looked at him coldly, if he didn't have the evidence. He really couldn't make the connection between this human-looking priest and his lack of virtue.

"I'm just a priest, not a man from the mines, you can't arrest me! Let go of me! Pedro exasperated.

"So we've wronged you?" Yang Xiaoshan slapped the table and said sarcastically loudly.

Pedro was overwhelmed by Yang Xiaoshan's momentum, and his heart was a little empty. The originally arrogant look suddenly retracted, and put on a flattering posture.

"I've also been a missionary in China. I'm your friend, and I've helped you with your injuries, and I've helped you when you're hurt, and so have others. Even if you don't have credit, you can't catch your friends. Pedro tried to keep his composure, quibbling.

"You're our friend? Then why did you light up the little attic of the church and report to Garcia, the head of security, when you learned that we were leaving! Yang Xiaoshan stared into Pedro's eyes and said sharply.

"It's 。。。。。。 It's just a coincidence. I'm just a little priest, and I don't care about worldly things. Pedro lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Yang Xiaoshan's eyes.

"Really? Old Wu, bring the documents you found. "Yang Xiaoshan is a cautious person, and he will not judge Pedro's guilt based on just guesswork. When he became suspicious of Pedro, he asked Wu to find the documents signed by the Chinese coolies who wanted to escape, at the instigation of Father Pedro.

"King Dong, this is from Pedro's attic, a cabinet full of them. The format of the file is the same, but the handprints are different, and here are the documents signed by the Chen brothers before they escaped last time. Lao Wu handed the document to Yang Xiaoshan with an angry face.

"I ask you, what the hell is written on this?" Yang Xiaoshan stood up and smashed the documents in Father Pedro's face.

Looking at the papers scattered on the ground, Pedro Khan suddenly lost his previous vigor like rain.

"This 。。。。。 What is written on this。。。。。。 "Pedro was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

"I'll give you another chance, what exactly is written on this honestly?" Yang Xiaoshan pointed to Pedro's nose and said sharply.

"This is the funeral expenses of the families of the dead runaway workers in China。。。。。。 Sign this to compensate them。。。。。。 Pedro explained as he wiped his sweat.

"Phew! You're still lying! Do you really think that none of us here know Spanish? Lao Wu, you tell him, let him die and understand! Yang Xiaoshan looked at this guy with a beast's heart and made a murderous intent.

"This document is for those people to donate all their possessions to the church!" Even the always calm old Wu couldn't help but roar at Pedro.

"They said it was donated to the church, but in fact they joined together to swallow it. The beast priest took half of it, the manager Di Mari also got a forty percent, and the killer security captain Garcia got the last percent. Lao Wu also found the account book of their distribution of the spoils and handed it over to Yang Xiaoshan.

"What else do you have to say now?" Yang Xiaoshan turned his back, not wanting to look at the priest's ugly face.

Yang Xiaoshan's words were cold, and Pedro also felt bad, as if he was leaving time for his last words.

"Spare me, I am a servant of God, I preach the gospel to the world for God, I am a faithful believer in God! You can't kill me! Pedro finally began to beg for mercy.

"Religion is to bring hope and peace of mind to people, religion should correct the way of the world and people's hearts, and a wicked villain like you is worthy of claiming to be a believer in God? The hard-earned money earned by those workers making cattle and horses for the factory has been cheated by you, and you are even greedy for their funeral expenses, let them educate you below! Come, pull him down, and put him on the gallows as he was here, and leave you with the whole body." "Yang Xiaoshan wants justice for the dead workers.

There were cheers outside the house, so as not to misunderstand. Yang Xiaoshan has already made the ugly deeds of this priest publicized among the miners. Most of the miners are real people, and they hate such sinister scammers on the surface and behind them.

Two stout miners dragged Pedro out of the house, one by one.

"You Chinese pagans, you don't believe in God, you are all sinners!" Pedro finally told the truth at this time. As a young man, he went to China as a missionary with a local bishop, which was the biggest setback of his life.

China is a multi-theistic country, and all kinds of gods and goddesses are enshrined in the shrines, in addition to the relatively large Buddhism and Taoism, there are also such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, the land father-in-law, the Buddha of Rulai, Mazu, Guan Erye, etc. Therefore, although Xiang Catholicism entered China very early, it was difficult to develop in China because it was a traditional monotheistic religion with strong exclusivity.

Chinese attach more importance to worshipping their ancestors than religion in their consciousness, and as early as the Zhou Dynasty, the Chinese established their own civilization system, and it is difficult to have a firm belief in a foreign supernatural and supermular god.

Foreign religions can only take root in China if they are constantly indigenized, such as Buddhism from India, which was difficult for Chinese to accept at first. Later, Buddhism also made changes, such as vegetarianism, not eating for a day, monks changing their surnames, including monks' clothes, various consecration ceremonies, etc. are all manifestations of localization, and the Chinese slowly accepted Buddhism and formed their own Mahayana Buddhism.

Catholicism, on the other hand, has a lot of rigid rules and regulations, and it is difficult to localize. China has not yet established diplomatic relations with the Vatican because the Pope in the Vatican believes that the global Catholic Church belongs to his jurisdiction, does not recognize the Three-Self principle of "autonomy, self-support, and self-propagation" of Chinese Catholicism, does not recognize the independence of the Chinese Church, and insists that he should appoint Chinese bishops.

Unlike Catholicism, Protestantism is very flexible. Catholicism was introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty, but no one rebelled under its banner for thousands of years, but Protestantism was born less than 300 years ago, and Hong Xiuquan raised its banner, which is the result of the localization of Protestantism in China.

Many people do not know how to worship God, and when they mention the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they are generally called cults. In fact, to be precise, the worship of God should be a branch below Protestantism in academic terms, and it was Hong Xiuquan who borrowed from Christian teachings, and then combined with the Chinese Confucian idea of Datong, and added the local characteristics of the religion of southwest China in the process of development, and finally produced the worship of God with Chinese characteristics.

Of course, this kind of religion was not only not accepted by the Qing Dynasty at that time, because it instigated rebellion, which must have been a heinous crime. Foreign Christians are not accepted either. Because it is a heretic, it is more hateful than the infidels, and it is also called a cult.

Having said that, let's talk about Yang Xiaoshan again.

Yang Xiaoshan staged an armed "riot" at the Juan mine, which was quite successful, the security team was destroyed, and the priest Pedro, who had made a fortune, was hanged. The fly in the ointment was that the manager Di Mari was not at the mine and escaped. When he himself knows that he has lost the mine, will he come back and take revenge?
