Chapter 248: Riot
Tina nodded again, her expression looked very excited, it seems that I am getting closer and closer to what she wants to express, but if the person he painted is Uncle Wei, then what does Uncle Wei have to do with a bird? What is the inverted exclamation point with a warning meaning from earlier? Uncle Wei himself is in danger? Or will Uncle Wei bring danger to us?
I asked Tina, puzzled: "You mean Uncle Wei is a bird?" Or is Uncle Wei related to a bird? ”
Tina shook her head and drew a big cross on the paper, and I looked at the big cross even more confused, thinking to myself what this cross meant. Is it a no? Or is it a sign? Or is it a representation of something? What secrets does Tina want to say about Uncle Wei?
While I was thinking, Bruni hurried over to me and told me that the Protestants on the island had fenced off the Doge's Palace, and that it looked like they were preparing to storm the Doge's Palace violently.
"How did it come so quickly?" I had guessed that the Protestants would not believe Sandro's rhetoric, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly, let alone dare to storm the Doge's Palace.
Bruni told me that not long after Sandro made that announcement, the Protestants on the island gathered at the door of the island guard barracks and demanded that Sandro hand over the bodies of the Protestants who had "committed suicide in fear of sin," but Sandro said that the bodies had been burned by them, and that there was nothing but a pile of ashes.
Hearing that his companion had been burned by Sandro's fire, the Protestants were even more furious, and they protested loudly that Sandro had to give an explanation, but Sandro ordered the soldiers to erect qiang at the entrance of the barracks, and warned the Protestants that according to the laws of the British Empire, storming the barracks was a felony, and the guards on duty could be directly opened.
Under Sandro's threats and intimidation, the Protestants quickly moved to the battlefield, they gathered at the door of the Governor's Palace, and asked the officials of the Cabinet of the Island to come out and give an explanation, but because Governor James was unconscious, no one among the remaining cabinet officials was willing to come out to provoke the head, plus the arrest of the Protestant, the interrogation of the Protestant, including the final suicide of his confession, the cabinet officials were not involved, so no one was willing to come forward.
The Protestants, who had not been given any explanation, seemed to have been lit with barrels, and while protesting loudly, they threatened to storm the governor's palace to avenge their comrades, and the cabinet officials had no choice but to call in the police at the door.
What's worse is that the atmosphere on the island today is very depressing, the Protestants make such a fuss, so that the paradise island is even more noisy, some old believers are not used to what the Protestants do, can't help but accuse them of making a mess on the side, the two groups of people who are incompatible with each other then broke out into a fierce conflict, before Bruni came, the conflict was still in verbal abuse and slight pushing, but according to Bruni's speculation, if no one stopped it in time, It could soon turn into a large-scale group fight.
I asked Bruni: "What about Sandro?" Doesn't that grandson care? The Protestants were arrested by him, and the people died at his hands, so didn't he come forward now that the Protestants were making trouble? ”
Bruni shook his head and said, "Sandro just sent some more people to the Governor's Palace to help, and he didn't say anything else, after all, there are so many people in his island guard, and he has to protect the military camp and the clinic, how many people are separated to take care of other things." ”
Big Bear gloated on the side and said, "That bastard had better be beaten to death by the Protestants, usually he does too many bad things, and God can't see it." Fortunately, let's stay away from them, no matter how much trouble they make, it won't affect us. ”
I frowned and shook my head and said, "If the Protestants really get into trouble with the Old Christians, Paradise Island will fall into chaos, and if there are other forces that take the opportunity to stir things up, none of us should want to be stable." So, stay at the camp, and I'll go with Bruni to see what happens. ”
Hearing that I was going to check on the situation, Su Yuliu hurriedly grabbed me and said, "What are you going to do?" How can you stop so many people alone? It's too dangerous to go! ”
Lin Ruyi and An An also said: "Yes, neither the Protestants nor the Old Christians will listen to you, so what's the use of you going?" If they do fight, you're still vulnerable to being hurt by mistake. ”
I touched Su Yuliu's head and said to them with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, how could I go to the rack without my own strength?" I just wanted to check on the situation, and besides, the winery needs me to arrange it too. ”
After calming everyone down, Bruni and I hurried out of the camp, forgetting the painting in Tina's hand.
After Bruni and I left, the bearded man suddenly jumped up and down to Tina's side, he snatched the painting from Tina's hand and looked at it, and then danced excitedly and pointed to the painting and grunted, Tina anxiously wanted to snatch the painting from the bearded man's hand, but the bearded man thought that Tina was playing with him, so he happily hid and didn't let Tina take the painting back.
At the same time, the rest of the camp was on me and Brunie, and they were all worried about my safety because of the conflict between Protestants and Old Christians, so no one cared too much about Tina's situation.
After leaving the camp, Bruni and I hurried to the island's commercial center, but before we could get closer, we saw a fire from afar, and from time to time island citizens fled to the woods with their families.
I grabbed one of them and asked him, "How is the situation at the Governor's Palace?" ”
The man panted and said to me, "It's a mess, the Protestants and the Old Christians are fighting, and then out of nowhere, a group of people with masked faces appeared, and they beat people when they see them, and they set fire everywhere, and the paradise island is about to become a hell island, so go back and run for your life." ”
I was about to ask something more, but the man was in a hurry to shake my hand away and run away, and Bruni asked me, "What should I do?" Are we going to the Doge's Palace? Isn't it a little too dangerous? ”
"Danger? Hmph, it's just a bunch of clowns, I want to see what tricks they want to play, why are you scared? ”
Bruni didn't speak, and walked to the front with his head held high.
Confidence is confidence, in the face of the thugs on the island, we still don't dare to be too big, Brunie and I follow the trail as much as possible, but whenever we hear any movement, first find a place to hide and observe.
In about half a day, the core business district of Paradise Island has been in chaos, all the stores along the street have been smashed to pieces, everywhere is a mess, masked, unmasked, Protestants, old believers are all mixed together, three by two, fighting and fleeing, from time to time there are bursts of wailing and screaming.
"How so?" Bruni looked at the miserable scene on the street and said to himself, "Wasn't that the case before I went to camp?" How did it come out so big in such a short period of time? ”
"Today's incident is no longer as simple as a conflict between Protestants and Old Christians, there must be other forces involved in fishing in troubled waters."
"What do you say the Protestants and the Old Christians are for? How to that extent? ”
"Since ancient times, these illegal riots have been just a small group of people stirring up trouble, a large group of people blindly following them, I believe that those Protestants, old believers, most of them are not fanatical and extreme religious elements, but they are easily instigated, do not know the truth and do not distinguish the truth for others to charge, as if to make their own claims, as if to fight for their own rights and interests, but in the past, the real benefits of the people are often only the very beginning of the small number of troublemakers, they hide behind the scenes and shout slogans, Let a great crowd shed their blood for it, so that there must be something hateful about the wretched, and this is true for a small group of people, and it is also true for those who blindly follow it.
