Bishop Dula wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to hold the sign and shout as he walked: "God wants us to be clean, the emperor wants us to be clean." ”

Not only Bishop Dura alone, but in the temperature of the 33rd and 4th degrees of the seventh month of the Western calendar, there were priests in various dioceses on the streets of Rome who carried out hygiene propaganda, which was a task that the emperor ordered to the Holy See. In the last few hundred years, this was unthinkable. The status of kings and even emperors in the secular world is under the papacy. The powers of the secular world are not qualified to demand that the Holy See serve them.

The first page of the official Bible of the Holy See, which has been reviewed by the Western Roman Emperor, clearly states that Jehovah and Christ Jesus have appointed the Roman Emperor as the spokesman of the Crucifixion on earth, and that the Roman Emperor has appointed the Pope God and the Emperor's servants to serve God and the Emperor.

In the territory of the Western Roman Empire, the clergy whose heads were still firmly attached to their necks recognized the new doctrines. According to such a doctrine, the emperor had the right to demand anything from the Church.

Bishop Dura was not satisfied with the hard work, but he did not object. Before His Majesty Augustus Beyan took control of Italy, his parents and two younger brothers died of the plague, as did his favorite mistress and illegitimate son. Since His Majesty Boyan implemented the Patriotic and Religious Health Month, the city of Rome has not experienced a large-scale plague for several years, and his relatives around him are alive and well. If only this drudgery could be entrusted to the priest below, instead of he, the bishop, personally publicizing it.

At the end of the day of penance, Bishop Dura went to the church where the archbishop was present for a meeting. Officials from the Ministry of Health attended the meeting, but in fact it was the officials of the Ministry of Health who gave orders, and what they said was the same as the old thing. Wash your hands before and after eating, do not defecate in the open, and empty public toilets regularly and urinate in buckets.

At the end of the meeting, the archbishop gave a sermon on the subject of hygiene, as required. Bishop Dura himself used the same manuscript in his diocese, to the point where he came without having to read it. Flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and lice are accomplices of the plague, and God loves the world, and it is God's will to eradicate these.

He followed the archbishop to the pulpit, and as soon as the archbishop spoke, he saw that his body was shaken, and there was an extra thing on his left breast. If you look closely, it turned out to be a crossbow arrow. The archbishop took two steps back, his legs blocked by the chair behind him, and sat back in his chair.

"Assassin!" "There are assassins!" Exclamations rang out in the preaching hall.

The pulpit was high up, and Bishop Dura could see a guy rushing out of the aisle. "Catch that guy!" Bishop Dura shouted sharply.

As soon as he shouted, he also felt a blow in the chest. When he looked up in the direction, he saw a man shooting at him with a crossbow bolt on the roof of the church. Shooting the second arrow that hit Bishop Dura, he began to install the crossbow arrows, preparing to shoot the third.

When the Assassin was finally discovered, some of the congregation screamed in fright, and some angry congregants took off their shoes and threw themselves at the Assassin in the heights. The behavior of the masses is very contagious, and if someone is scared to run away at this time, someone will immediately follow suit. A rain of shoes passed, and the Assassin was stunned, and the third arrow, which could have been easily loaded, fell out of his hand.

Taking advantage of this time, the archbishops and bishops in the pulpit fled into the room behind the pulpit. The door was slammed shut, and the archbishop who had been hit by the arrow pulled out the crossbow arrow from his chest out of breath, and couldn't help but cry out softly in pain. The person next to him hurriedly took off his robe, revealing the chain mail on his body. Taking off the chain mail, the sharp crossbow bolt still pierced the skin on the archbishop's chest. There had been cases of arrowhead quenching before, and immediately a priest went up to suck the blood.

Looking at the archbishop's painful and cheerful expression, Bishop Dura exclaimed in his heart: Damn faggot! At the same time, he pulled out the crossbow arrow from his chest. He no longer wears chain mail, but has changed his scale armor. The bolt pierced the gap between the armor, but failed to hurt Bishop Dura.

Outside, a shrill whistle sounded in the pulpit, and Bishop Dura's heart was relieved, and the security team arrived.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Minister of the Interior briefed Augustus Boyan on the latest law and order situation in the city of Rome. "Ten assassinations were caught last month, and there have already been four this month. In the latest assassination case, the assassin has confessed. He is avenging his relatives. The archbishop, who was assassinated, raped his son in the choir. ”

Even though he had experienced a hundred battles and seen countless winds and waves, Boyan's expression couldn't help but change, and his body still gave birth to a feeling similar to a bad cold. Whether it means that these Diao people have been damaged by the assassin trend, or whether they will continue to severely punish the scum in the Holy See, Boyan was a little hesitant for a while.

The Minister of the Interior, who is of normal sexual orientation, was also unhappy, but he continued: "Your Majesty, it seems that our practice of building forts in the northern passes has worked well. More than 60 suspects have been arrested this month. After interrogation, the guys who confessed basically went to contact the Venetian rebels, hoping that the Venetian rebels would send assassins. ”

Hearing that the Minister of the Interior finally did not use the term 'Venice Republican Remnant', Boyan was more satisfied. Those Venetian rebels opposed the Western Roman Empire under the banner of a republic, and Boyan himself had a lot of respect for the Roman Republic recorded in the history books, and had begun to restore the electoral system and rebuild the Senate in the Western Roman Empire. At this time, the official statements of the empire must be taken seriously.

"Your Majesty, let's just wipe out Venice." The Home Secretary suggested.

"No, then you've fallen for the tricks of the traitors." Boyan said indifferently.

"Then how to deal with the traitorous party?"

"Destroy the families of the traitors with conclusive evidence, and at the same time publicly declare their crimes to the Venetian localities." The Secretary of State was about to receive the command, when he heard Boyan continue: "Let the church come forward and tell the congregation that the souls of the rebels will suffer forever in hell. ”

Hearing that the soul will suffer forever in hell after death, even the Minister of the Interior felt a pang of discomfort. Then the minister thought it was so good that the people would be deeply moved when they saw the clergy of the church openly proclaiming.

The plan was soon executed, and the thieves were slaughtered and their brains were put on public display in Piazza Venezia. Hear the local bishops speak in a solemn tone about the cruelty of hell and the cruelty of those who fall into it. The faces of the believers changed. By the time the bishop declared that the rebels would go to hell when they died, many of the faithful had already lowered their heads and began to make crosses on their chests. Although they themselves did not rebel, they also supported the rebels in their hearts.
