Even at night, at the entrance of the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles, near Paul, there were still more than 100 believers listening to Paul's sermon in fascination, and even many of them were rich

I have to mention that although this little priest is greedy for money and seems to have no character, he has his own unique introduction to religion and vividly depicted it, otherwise it would not have been possible to fool so many Christians in the pagan world of Shinhangu.

However, just as Paul was talking about the lotus flower, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared near the Basilica of the Holy Apostles, and occasionally a black shadow turned out of the darkness, but it was refracted the cold light of metal.

"'Catch him, don't let him run!'"

Suddenly, four Byzantine soldiers in iron armor rushed out from the four corners, grabbed Paul's sleeves and turned to leave, and the sudden outbreak of the scene made the believers who received the sermon stunned, until the four people dragged Paul out more than ten meters before they reacted.

"You filthy lackeys, let go of our saints!"

"Quick, save the saints, don't let the saints be captured by the emperor's lackeys!"

More than 100 people immediately blew up the pot and shouted to fight with the Constantinople city defense, but more ironclad guards of the city defense team, who had been prepared, rushed out, and the sword hilt and spear shaft were hit without a head or face, and many people were beaten to the point of bleeding for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Christ saved the whole world by keeping his suffering to himself, so stop fighting and go! Let's go! ”

Paul, who was dragged, turned his head desperately, hissing and shouting as hard as he could, and for a while those believers burst into tears, and rushed over more desperately, but in the chaos, Ma Barbisi staggered out of the crowd, and finally glanced at Paul's hand that was swinging outward, and plunged into the darkness.

In the middle of the night, in the Golden Horn, which was finally quiet, a small boat once again cut through the sea, and the black bag was buckled on his head, Paul was pulled by the rope in a daze, went up a slope, walked several stairs, and finally hit him heavily on the buttocks, Paul fell to the ground heavily, and then there was the sound of the iron door closing behind him.

After struggling for a long time, Paul struggled out of the bag, but around him was a cell full of ** smell, out of a simple wooden bed hung on the wall by iron chains, there was nothing else in the iron window, and the mouse ran coldly past his feet, so frightened that Paul retreated to the side of the iron bed.

From here, you can see the torch glow of half of Constantinople.

After Paul was arrested, not only did the matter not subside, but tens of thousands of citizens of Constantinople crowded the door of the Church of the Holy Apostles with anger, and demanded that the Patriarch return the saints.

"What did General Leo say? Don't send reinforcements to suppress these mobs! ”

There was no longer the mercy and majesty of the past, and Peter I was embarrassed like a reservoir dog, and he roared and hissed like a reservoir dog, and he was so angry that he wanted to see the excitement, but he never imagined that he was besieged in the Basilica of the Holy Apostles.

Archbishop Tom also lost the vigor of the afternoon, and ran back in a panic and responded in an even more panicked tone: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, General Leo responded, the city is not peaceful tonight, he needs all his troops to guard against the rebellion of the nobles, let the Patriarch himself appease the believers!" ”

"The Emperor's lackey who deserves to go to hell!" Peter I was almost out of breath, and under his angry curses, the priests in front of him also ran back in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, those mobs are about to break through the gate, please go and pacify!"

Is Lao Tzu pacified? Cursing in his heart, Peter I had to make a calm appearance on his face, and waved his hand in a cold sweat: "Lead the way!" ”

It was really crowded, tens of thousands of Byzantine citizens surrounded the door, the gorgeous church doors were smashed, and finally the priests used the strength of the milk to push it open, and dozens of bishops shouted together This made the crowd quiet a little, holding the white and gold silk robes, Peter I walked out in a rage.

"Listen to me, I find out that Paul is a devil, he has deceived everyone with the devil's deception, I, the Patriarch of Constantine, am decent, everyone must believe me and spit on that devil......"

Satisfied, Peter I brandished the Bible and hissed as hard as he could to roar at the crowd, but before he could finish shouting, angry voices erupted in the crowd.

"Liar!"

"Jealousy!"

"It's him, who harmed our Pauline saints, he is the devil incarnate, everyone beat him to death!"

In the chaotic roar, countless rotten vegetable leaves and bricks smashed over, and the dignified Patriarch Peter was beaten with a stone, not to mention Tom and other priests, fortunately, at this time, the knights belonging to the Patriarch were also killed, and the crowd was trampled out of a path under the impact of the heavy cavalry, covering his eyes, Peter fled to the carriage in a hurry, and the knights of a hundred people escorted him and killed in a panic, coming and going, dozens of believers were trampled to death by horses, bleeding, and suddenly the anger of the crowd exploded even more.

"Chase, don't let that devil run!"

Stones rained down on the Patriarch's ornate carriage, and a terrified Peter hissed and shouted: "Quick, go to the palace and let the palace guards suppress these mobs!" ”

"Patriarch, no, the road ahead is blocked!"

Listening to the mournful roar of the coachman, Peter was immediately stunned.

Leo hadn't lied to him, something big had happened that night.

In the hotel, holding a large stack of land deeds and sleeping in a daze, there was a hurried knock at the door, and he arched his mouth angrily, Wu Yuanqing just turned over and wanted to continue to sleep, and the door was kicked open, and a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

It's really cold, Wu Yuanqing jumped up, puffed and rubbed his face for a long time, only then did he see Li Que's cold mask and Hou Jie's grinning beard, Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but flick his waterproof cowhide ledger angrily, and saw that the land deed and the house deed did not fall out, so he shouted angrily.

"What are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night? You little couple play romance don't pull me to the old man's house, I'm so tired to death! ”

Li Que almost fainted, and Hou Jie also shook his head speechlessly, then he reached out and patted Wu Yuanqing's fat face, and said depressedly: "Brother, if you want to be beaten into meat filling, then just sleep well." ”

"What, what's going on?" Wu Yuanqing, who had just turned up sleepily, was immediately excited, and Hou Jie shrugged his shoulders speechlessly: "Those landlords who sold land have repented and want to kill you to make dumplings and snatch the land back." ”

"Damn, it's so tasteless!" Wu Yuanqing almost didn't cry.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, since ancient times, for the sake of land, human vendetta has not been recorded at all, not to mention that Wu Yuanqing also annexed almost four floors of fertile land manors near Constantinople, at least more than 1,000 large and small landlords' homes.

It's really a mobilization of the whole family, and the same tens of thousands of landlords and nobles flocked to surround it, one by one with guys in their hands, these people are more or less the land obtained by their ancestors with military merits, and the weapons and armor at home are now also equipped again for the land, and the hotel where Wu Yuanqing is located is surrounded in all directions.

"Profiteers, vampires, give us back the land!"

"Get back your stinky money, I'm not going to sell it!"

"Get out!"

In the roar of rage, even the blonde Byzantine lady who Wu Yuanqing was fascinated by was full of hideousness, I don't know who missed, a torch was thrown towards the hotel, but it was like the first gang, the torch rained down on the hotel, and in an instant, a big fireball was blazing in the city.

Almost alone, several other places in the city were also ablaze, and it is estimated that the rest of the big merchants and nobles, and half of Constantinople were all absorbed into the agitation of the crowd.

The firelight was beating on his face, looking at this scene, Wu Yuanqing, sitting on the edge of the carriage, couldn't help but scolded loudly: "Damn, a group of bastards who have no reputation and no morality, they will go on when they see cheap, and they can't afford to lose, in the future, Lao Tzu's third street, the Byzantines will come again, and the price will be increased by three layers!" Damn it! ”

almost changed into a roast suckling pig, Wu Yuanqing's chubby face turned purple with anger, but he didn't expect Hou Jie to seem to be angrier than him, this kid was really jumping up and down on the carriage cover like a monkey.

"Brother Wu, it's so confusing to scold like this, it's impossible for these guys to go to Fujian, if you want to scold, you have to let them hear it, like me!"

Saying that, in Wu Yuanqing's stunned gaze, Hou Jie actually turned his hand into a horn, and shouted at the firelight: "Hey, you stupid pigs, your Uncle Wu Yuanqing is here, your land Laozi will not be returned, be a group of mud legs with peace of mind, hahahaha!" ”

"Damn, you're crazy!"

Wu Yuanqing really jumped up like a nail in his butt, this place is not too far from the hotel, he scolded people and lowered his throat, Xiang Hou Jie Isn't he looking for death, didn't wait for Wu Yuanqing to climb on the car cover and pull Hou Jie down, but at this time, the sound behind him stiffened again.

"That vampire is here, don't let him run!"

Turning back sadly, Wu Yuanqing almost didn't cry, and appeared at the intersection, the Byzantine landlord who was shouting with a torch and killing machine was not the Grande who sold him the grange in the end or which one?

"Driving !!"

Full of excitement, Hou Jie ran all the way in the carriage, the blind old man on the carriage was still half-dead and swaying, Wu Yuanqing was looking behind him in a cold sweat, just as Li Que sat down, behind the swaying horse's buttocks, a fire dragon was in hot pursuit.

Carrying torches, the usually dignified and elegant Byzantine nobles, the big men roared like zombies, full of greed and anger, desperately chasing.

If you stand above Constantinople from a bird's-eye view, you will be surprised to find that there are more than one fire dragon in such a hot pursuit, and the same seven or eight hastily sprayed carriages vaguely lead several fire dragons to one place.

Everyone's goal is, the Imperial Palace!
