"Well, which of you is a priest?" Hong Tiancheng played with the delicate flintlock handcuff that he was given to him when he first came to this world, and asked in a flat tone.

At this time, Hong Tiancheng was sitting on a wooden chair built by the Taiping soldiers, with a Han-style wooden table used to place items in front of him, and the four clergy who had been pressed were standing in front of Hong Tiancheng in a horizontal row, only their hands were tied behind him with flax ropes.

Kaspersky stood with his back slightly hunched on his side, and on each side of the tent stood ten Taiping soldiers armed with arquebuses.

After hesitating for a moment, the second person in the left column took a slight step forward and bowed his head and replied: "Lord Chief, I am the priest of this town, and I hope you can spare us who have surrendered, and the merciful Lord will bless you for your good deeds." ”

"Needless to say, I called you here mainly to ask a question, you four are also old people engaged in religious affairs, I believe you know the process of proselytizing very well, so I hope you can convert to my Taiping teachings, and assist my people in spreading the Taiping teachings to the Polish people."

Hong Tiancheng calmly opened his mouth and asked the Catholic priest to 'change his ways', without the slightest scruple about the taboo of proselytism.

Not surprisingly, after hearing Hong Tiancheng's words, the Polish priest's face suddenly turned red with anger, which was a naked insult to a clergyman like them!

Renunciation of faith is difficult for ordinary believers to accept, let alone a dedicated clergy who has been 'educated by the Lord' since childhood.

The person who can sit in the position of a priest may not be a person of high moral character, but his belief in the church must be much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the most important thing is that once this priest brazenly betrays his faith and turns into a 'cult' that he has never heard of, it can be said that his reputation in this world is basically cleared.

In this day and age, betrayal of religion is worse than betrayal of the state!

"Impossible! Please respect our faith, the Crimean Khanate ...... Poland"

Bang~~~

Hong Tiancheng blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle of the gun as usual, and handed it to the Taiping sergeant behind him, who quickly took the flintlock handcuff and began to load it meticulously.

The remaining three church deacons were dumbfounded, and they looked at the corpse of the priest lying on the ground with a hole in his head and the corners of his mouth slightly open, and he collapsed directly to the ground in fright.

"Dragging the corpse down and disposing of it smells so bad." Hong Tiancheng did not squint at the church deacon who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, waved his hand and commanded.

When the priest's body was dragged down, Hong Tiancheng's personal Taiping soldiers also loaded the flintlock handcuffs and presented them to Hong Tiancheng with both hands.

Hong Tiancheng, who held the gun in his hand again, opened the wrench, held it next to his head, and asked the three church deacons sitting on the ground with a playful look: "How do you three feel about my proposal?" I'll give you three ten counts, and if you don't answer, I'll assume that you don't agree.

Ten, nine, eight......"

"I'm willing, I'm willing to do whatever you ask me to do, don't kill me, I don't want to die!"

"I do! I can do anything!! ”

The two church deacons shouted in no particular order, and finally the church deacon didn't know if he was stupid, looking at the blood on the ground with a stunned expression, when Hong Tiancheng finished counting ten and raised the flint handcuff to make an aim, he suddenly stood up and cursed madly at Hong Tiancheng: "You Tartar demon, the Lord will ......"

Bang~~~

This time, Hong Tiancheng made an opening in the opponent's heart, and he felt that his marksmanship had been pure within a distance of ten meters......

"Very good, two of the four people know the current affairs, I like people like the two of you, work hard, it won't be long before you two will find out how 'wise' your choice is today. Oh yes, I haven't asked you both names. ”

Hong Tiancheng handed over the flintlock handcuff to the Taiping army behind him to reload, and took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe his hands.

However, when Hong Tiancheng was 'paying attention to hygiene', one of the deacons shouting that he could do anything looked at the body of the deacon who was shot in the heart and dragged down with a sad face.

The other compromised church deacon seemed to know something, cautiously stepped back five or six steps away from the other party, and after a pause, perhaps thinking that it was not safe, he took more than ten steps back, if it were not for the Taiping sergeant guarding the door behind him with an arquebus on his head, I am afraid that he would have to step back......

Soon, Hong Tiancheng also noticed that something was wrong, he took the filled flintlock handcuff with great interest, and asked curiously: "What, who are you who is the dead deacon?" ”

The church deacon who was questioned did not reply, but the church deacon who had stepped back more than ten steps replied loudly: "Lord Chief, the deceased deacon is his biological brother, and they have a very good relationship!" ”

Hong Tiancheng glanced at the church deacon who betrayed his 'teammates' without guilt, and nodded lightly: "Oh, I see, you have behaved well, I think one person is enough to do the job I have given me, so I will send you to reunite with your brother." ”

Bang~~~

Hong Tiancheng blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the flintlock handcuff, smiled to himself and said to the last surviving church deacon: "Family affection is a cherished feeling, as beautiful as love, but sometimes it makes me very troublesome to do things, this deacon, you should know the basic situation of those civilians in the town very well." ”

The last surviving church deacon looked at the corpse being dragged down with some fear, and then quickly changed his facial expression to a 'standard flattery' smile, and replied to Hong Tiancheng on his knees very naturally:

"Lord Chief, my name is Hamsbond, the townspeople in the town will come to the church regularly to pray, I have lived in the town for more than ten years, I know the situation here very well, I know the family relationship of each townsman in my heart, I will definitely be able to accomplish what the adults tell me."

"Hamsbond, you have done a good job, and I will arrange for someone who is well versed in Taiping doctrine to tell you what needs to be done, but I am well aware of the pain and unforgettable hatred of losing loved ones, so I hope you can make the composition of these nearly a thousand townspeople a little purer before you preach, do you know what I mean?"

Rest assured, I will not treat those who do things for me badly. ”

Hong Tiancheng smiled kindly and said slowly to the pale Hams Bond.
