With the arrest order, a considerable degree of chaos arose throughout Madrid.

As the base camp of the royal family, this kind of large-scale targeted manhunt has never happened before.

But one way or another, it happened, and this time it was widespread, covering almost every industry.

These petty traders, vagrants, temporary workers, etc., were often hired to participate in resistance marches and spread news against the royal family.

The opponents did not put much effort into Madrid, so most of the arrests were made of such people.

But just because there are few big fish doesn't mean there aren't.

Remember Father Clarit? One of the masterminds of the bewitching Queen Isabella.

On the eve of Bourbon's exile, this guy also came to see him off.

Alfonso was secretly determined to give him a good look, but it was only after the two years of his ascension to the throne that it was inconvenient to attack the priest before he was ready, which allowed him to live until now.

Father Clarit once ran the church of San Jerónimo with the help of Isabella, but his long career as a minister made him more of a statesman than a clergyman.

Even after Bourbon was beaten away, he repeatedly wanted to contact Alfonso in the past two years, but after failing to achieve success, he chose to renew his relationship with Isabella, and now he is also a close confidant of the queen.

It's just that Isabella basically doesn't meddle in politics now, so Clarit can only get limited financial benefits, and he has always been very unwilling to do so.

Alfonso hated the man.

So this time, he directly instructed the Progressive Guards to carry out targeted strikes and pulled people out of the church.

……

"What are you doing? I am a priest in the church of San Jerónimo and I am a religious advisor to Queen Isabella! Clarit shouted angrily.

By this time he had completely lost his clergy demeanor, and the priest's regular clothes were disheveled, revealing the vulgar clothes inside.

His hands were also firmly restrained by the reverse-locking handcuffs, which made his center of gravity extremely unstable, and his constant twisting caused the guards next to him to do their best to prevent him from falling to the ground.

But Clarit was in no mood to care about it anymore, his heart was filled with panic.

He had been peacefully celebrating the sacrament of anointing in the church, but as soon as he said "May God forgive you all sins committed by your vision", he was forcibly dragged away by a group of Progressive Guards dressed in blue.

The sacrament was interrupted! I'm afraid there are very few in the history of Spain.

Jordi Sánchez, who was walking in front of him, said expressionlessly: "We have tangible evidence that you conspired to participate in a political group that is unfavorable to the king, and to publish and spread treason, and you will be arrested according to the law." ”

"It can't be!" Clarit shouted, and he struggled even harder, for he was now only a few steps away from the carriage.

He knew in his heart that once he was dragged into the carriage by the Progressive Guards, life and death would no longer be up to him.

And he is also very aggrieved in his heart, he is attached to Queen Isabella, what good is it for him that Bourbon is weakened?

God is pitiful, during this time, he really kept his own line between the church and Villa Isabella, and really did not participate in the opposition group!

"Do you understand what you're doing? I am a priest! I want to see the Queen! ”

"Of course I understand what I'm doing, and if you have any objections, you can say it when you confess." Sanchez said calmly.

To be honest, he knew that Clarit had nothing to do with the matter, and at most he complained about the king at a private meeting.

But the king wants to arrest him by name, so what can be done?

Because of this, even if there were several people who were heavier than Clarit to be arrested this time, he still chose to come here in person.

Just as several people were about to board the carriage, a group of people suddenly shouted behind them:

"Stop!" "Don't go!"

The people who spoke were the deacon of the church of San Jerónimo and the family of the object of the sacrament of the just anointed sacrament.

Not to mention the deacons, and the people who attend the sacraments have even more reason to be angry.

No matter how big it is, the sick here are terminally ill and about to go to God, and if you drag the priest away, won't you make it difficult for the sick to go to heaven without forgiveness?

Compared with the revenge of killing his father, it is almost there, but it is not much.

Hearing this, the members of the guard who carried Clarit on their feet turned a deaf ear, and still walked towards the carriage with a firm step.

Sánchez stopped, turned his head to the people with distorted expressions, and reluctantly explained: "This operation has been approved by Bishop Andrew of Madrid, and Clarit has been temporarily suspended from the priesthood, and there is no longer the right to perform the sacrament of anointing.

Someone will take over later, so you can wait. ”

After speaking, regardless of whether the other party could accept it or not, he quickly boarded another carriage.

To be honest, he himself didn't want to interrupt the sacrament of anointing, after all, he was also a believer.

It's just that there are rules within the Progressive Guard, and the most they are allowed to do is wear pants, and no other behavior can be used as an excuse for delay.

Otherwise, those high-ranking officials and nobles have too many important things to deal with, how can people catch them?

The situation at the church of San Jerónimo happened in more than one place, and on this day, at least 500 people were arrested in Madrid.

It's just that some of them were arrested by the police, and some were arrested by the Progressive Guard.

But that's what happened, and such arrests were going on simultaneously throughout Spain.

Who is in the opposition and who is behind the scenes, the Progressive Guard basically knows in their hearts.

It's not how strong their work ability is, but that everyone has no sense of precaution these days, for example, if they want to find someone to march, they just send domestic slaves to go, and they don't even bother to turn their hands.

On the one hand, this kind of trivial matter of public opinion cracking down and organizing troubles is hardly regarded as a criminal activity.

On the other hand, the psychology of not holding the public accountable is at work, after all, there are too many people who make trouble.

With so many people arrested in the whole of Spain, it is naturally impossible for someone to connect them all behind the scenes, except for the royal family and the government, no one has the ability to do so.

But when rumors spread about the king and demonstrations against the government were organized, disgruntled people spontaneously joined in.

Therefore, on the surface, it looks quite powerful.

In fact, it lacks organization, and it is just a clay puppet that falls down when you push it.

It can be said that at least one-quarter of those who participated in such a heinous march were arrested, which was quite a good result in the 19th century.

In just three days, 13,000 people were arrested nationwide.

Hundreds of thousands of people are even indirectly involved.

One can imagine what a sensation this large-scale manhunt has caused.

In the entire history of Europe, it is not uncommon for people to be convicted for their words, but most of them are limited to upper-level officials and aristocrats and middle-level journalists and writers, and even ordinary people who participated in the march have been arrested. No one has ever seen it.
