Chapter 156: Funerals and Accidents
As the reputation of the Church of Light grew, the day of the funeral for Pastor John quickly came.
On this day, the whole church was artificially decorated with white decorations, which filled with a sense of silence.
In front of the statue of the God of Light, there was a black wooden coffin with exquisite patterns, which Gu Fan specially asked the old carpenter in the town to customize a few days ago, and he didn't spend a lot of money for this.
Outside the church, dozens of people came early in the morning, and by the time Gu Fan and the light clones opened the door of the church, nearly a hundred people had come one after another.
The seats in the church are almost full.
The scene is even more prosperous now than it was in the heyday of this church.
Most of the people who came to the funeral, with or without conditions, carefully prepared a black uniform, which was not very elaborate, but it was in line with today's scene.
Although the church was in decline, Pastor John, as the only pastor in their town, was still known to most of the people in the Little Song.
It's just that there is no friendship, and most people's perception of Pastor John is just a rigid, eccentric, and chattering old man.
In the past, some of them believed in God, but they preferred to go to the lavishly decorated church in the town next door than to come to the dilapidated church.
It wasn't until Gu Fan's appearance that they completely reversed their views.
While the real reason they came to the funeral was because of Pastor Gray and the God of Light, they had some respect for Pastor John.
Gu Fan saw that everyone had arrived, so he asked the clone to close the door of the church.
Standing in front of the idol afterwards, he prepares to recite a eulogy carefully written by the doppelganger.
Suddenly, the door of the church was slammed open.
Peng's thud, and the door slammed against the wall.
Such a loud sound instantly attracted the attention of hundreds of believers in the church.
I saw a cunning man with a big belly standing at the door, dressed in red luxurious clothes, with several gemstone rings on his hands. Beside him were several strong men in leather armor and some of them were hanging out.
Behind them stood a middle-aged man with a belly like a pregnant woman conceived in October, with a fat head and big ears and a smile on her face. Next to him, there were several guards in uniform.
As early as when he asked his entourage to kick the door open, Besimer was ready, but he still couldn't help but be nervous in the face of the eyes of hundreds of people now.
Originally, he could have come today without it, and this church could have been taken over by his men.
But one of his attendants told him that he had seen a funeral in the church where he was about to get his hands on it, and that dozens of people had entered it to attend the funeral.
This made Besimer nervous, knowing that this church was in his pocket.
He had spent a lot of money to settle the death of Pastor John and the ownership of this church, and if there was any accident in this church now, it would be absolutely unacceptable to him.
As a shrewd businessman, he would never allow himself to incur such a big loss, never allow!
So Besimer immediately brought a few strong retinues with him, and invited the mayor to come with him.
I am going to make a complete decision on the ownership of this church today, so as not to have many dreams at night and something to happen.
"Oh, are you attending a funeral? I didn't bother you, did I? ”
Besimer opened his cunning little eyes and said angrily.
"Besimer, this is the church of the Church of Light, if you are also coming to the funeral, please be quiet." Several well-dressed men stood up.
Besimer looked at it and saw that it was a few merchants with whom he usually did not deal with, and he smiled.
"Originally, you had nothing to do with me holding a funeral or anything, but the place where you are holding your funeral now is in my church, and it is not okay to do this without the permission of the master's family?"
"What's your church? This is a church belonging to the Church of Light. ”
"Besimer, when did you become so thick-skinned that black can be said to be white?"
"Besimmer, don't be ashamed, even if Pastor John dies, for buildings like churches, Pastor Gray will inherit them later, does it have a relationship with you for half a copper coin?"
"Besimmer, go home and get milk!"
There were all sorts of rebuttals, doubts, and even ridicule from the crowd in the church.
For an unscrupulous businessman like Bessimer, who had long been notorious in this town, almost no one would have any good opinion of him, and it was not easy to seize the opportunity, and many people who had long been displeased with him did not recommend laughing at this time.
Hearing the ridicule, Besimer's face changed, and then he snorted heavily.
I see how happy you are to wait a minute.
"This church was sold to me long before John Moss." Besimer pulled out a piece of paper, "This is the proof document, it is clearly written in black and white. ”
"Impossible, this church is definitely not going to be sold?"
"Besimmer, you don't fool us, do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"
"Besimmer, your mother told you to come home for dinner!"
Besimer snorted coldly, "The mayor of the town is here, and he is the notary public for this document, if you don't believe it, you can verify him." ”
The mayor of the town, Ruskin, who was standing on the side, had his big belly on his head, and when he saw the people in the church looking over, he immediately showed a seemingly loyal and honest smile.
Some of Besimmer's rivals saw the mayor and secretly said bad things.
Ordinary civilians may not know Ruskin's true face, but for businessmen who often deal with officials, Ruskin's greed and viciousness have long been known to them.
Ever since Ruskin came to this town a few years ago, he has been making a lot of money.
A rich man like Besimmer, no matter what he committed, as long as he pays enough money, he can be released immediately.
And in the case of money opening the way, the probability of unjust, false and wrongful cases is also a lot more, but they are all covered up by Ruskin by strong means.
It is precisely because of this that Besimer has become more and more arrogant in recent years, and the limelight even faintly overshadows several of them.
Although they did not know Pastor John well, they believed that the other party would never sell the church.
After all, if Pastor John had really had the will, he could have done so decades ago, and he wouldn't have lived in poverty for decades.
But now that John Moses I, in the absence of proof, Besimer may well have colluded with Ruskin to forge a supporting document.
