Brendan was restrained by Floyin with black vines and pressed to his knees.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen black-clad friars, also bound and detained. These were Brendan's men, as well as the clergy who were assigned to work in the Intramuros church.

They belong to a gang, and Chen Lun naturally will not show mercy to his subordinates.

After Floyin finished writing the letter, Chen Lun used his golden cup token to summon the Parliament's messenger Faceless Attendant and asked him to send the letter back to headquarters.

"Give this letter to the Speaker, or to the Senate Consul."

Chen Lun commanded the faceless attendant.

The latter nodded tacitly and whispered that he understood.

The Faceless Attendant was the first messenger of the Council to contact Chen Lun, and he was also closer to him, and he could be regarded as half of his own. It knew very well that the Senate consuls were also divided into camps, so naturally they would not give the letter to Jack's opponents, that is, Houston.

It soon left with the letter and returned to the council headquarters.

In the evening of the same day, the faceless attendant returned again, told Speaker Chen Lun that he had known about the matter, and expressed his affirmation of his handling methods.

After holding a secret meeting, the expressions of Houston and other consuls were very ugly.

"I see, how did it turn out?"

Chen Lun asked.

"Lord Jack, despite the best attempts of several Houston consuls to defend themselves, the Speaker personally ordered that Congressman Brendan be stripped of his status and escorted back to headquarters for trial."

The Faceless Acolyte replied.

Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.

Although he knew that this move would offend Houston and the others, the two sides would not deal with each other anyway, so if they offend, they would offend. Standing on the righteousness, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only swallow this breath, who is called Houston and knows no one.

"In addition, the council has also decided to give you full control over all the money that Brendan embezzled ink has been used as construction funds."

The Faceless Waiter said.

"It may take a few days, though."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Lun said with a smile.

He was a little happy in his heart, although he still had 350,000 gold pounds on hand, but since he had public funds to use, he naturally didn't feel so distressed to squander it. Brendan made hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, enough for him to do a lot of things.

"I need you to help me notify my councillors, including Akbin and Frey, when I return to the headquarters this time, and let them come to Wangcheng...... There is a shortage of people here, and I need their help. ”

"Yes, Master Jack."

The faceless waiter replied respectfully.

Brendan and the others were escorted back to the headquarters on the same day, and Chen Lun also asked Floyin to accompany him personally to ensure that the matter could be completed smoothly.

The other members of the circus were arranged by Chen Lun in a house in the Kang Yi Church District, although it has not yet been renovated, but the infrastructure is still complete and can barely be used.

Chen Lun plans to wait for the funds to be available, and then hire more engineering teams to come and completely restore the church area before the Imperial Celebration Day.

Three days later.

At the end of Brendan's trial in Congress, hundreds of members in the Grand Chamber witnessed the Golden Cup's downfall, and even participated in the sentencing and listing of his crimes, by his boss, the Houston Archon.

Houston was expressionless and indifferent to Brendan's crimes, and the latter bowed his head in despair, as if unwilling to see the many disdainful, angry, and ridiculed stares around him.

In the end, Brendan was stripped of his position as a member of parliament and imprisoned in a parliamentary prison for more than 10 crimes, including embezzlement of public funds, swindling, and undermining the image and prestige of parliament.

If there is no accident, his end will be old death imprisonment, after all, a transcendent person who has not been promoted to a high position, even if it is a sequence five, has a lifespan that is no different from that of ordinary people.

His future life is destined to be extremely gloomy.

And the Houston consul was also slightly affected by this, after all, the scum of this council was her direct subordinate, which indirectly affected her prestige.

Because of this, she kept a straight face all day long, and she was in an extremely bad mood.

Of course, Chen Lun, as the initiator, was also hated by these consuls, even if he was far away in the royal city, he also received prompts from the four consuls that their favorability had declined, and he changed from the original indifference to hostility.

But Chen Lun just smiled at this and didn't care.

Things are always two-sided, although he was hostile to Houston and other consuls, but he also gained the favor and respect of other members of the parliament, after all, such a "fair and impartial" consul is more convincing.

Chen Lun's reputation internally has suddenly risen a lot.

The faceless attendant soon sent Brendan the money he had embezzled for ink, plus the new construction funds approved by the Senate, totaling 150,000 gold pounds.

This is also a reward for him.

Because he used his own means to replace the "spring of youth" with the "tap water" that Brendan deceived believers, this measure has been known to the parliament.

In the conference room deep in the church area, the faceless attendant conveyed the speaker's message to Chen Lun as a compliment to him.

"That's just my job."

Chen Lun sat in a high-backed chair and shook his head to the messenger.

"Please also express your gratitude on my behalf to the Speaker and the consuls such as Ginsburg."

"I will, Master Jack."

The Faceless Acolyte handed the Imperial Bank credentials in both hands, then turned to leave.

It was accompanied by four Jindai councillors, including Akbin and Frey, twelve silver-cup councillors, and dozens of ordinary councillors, who remained in the conference room, ready to accept Chen Lun's appointment and orders.

Chen Lun took this huge amount of public money, waved his hand, and carved out 50,000 gold pounds and handed it to Frey.

"You'll be in charge of the renovation of the church district in Conciliation, Frey."

Chen Lun turned his head to him and said.

"Don't worry about the expenses, if the 50,000 gold pounds are not enough, report to me...... But remember to strive for the best quality, the most efficient speed, and the most consistent architectural style. ”

Frey sat on the ordinary wooden chair in front of the desk, was slightly stunned at first, then immediately got up and took the bank voucher, respectfully saluted Chen Lun's chest, and said with a little excitement:

"Thank you for your attention, Lord Jack, my subordinates will definitely do their best to complete this."

Chen Lun smiled.

He gestured to the other people in the next seat.

"You can send three Silver Cup Councillors and ten ordinary councillors as assistants to complete the project by the 23rd of this month, which is the Imperial Celebration Day."

Frey glanced at the others and nodded solemnly at Chen Lun.

"Yes, Lord Jack!"

After explaining the renovation of the church area, Chen Lun arranged several more tasks for Akbin and the other two Jinbei Councilors as the initial development plan after coming to Wangcheng.

After the meeting, Chen Lun was sitting alone in a high-backed chair and pondering, when Connie knocked on the door of the conference room.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jack, a steward from the royal family came to visit, saying that he was here to deliver the prince's message."

Connie looked apologetic, her eyes full of respect and adoration.

Mr. Jack's status is getting higher and higher, and even the prince sends people to visit, and she can't help but feel a sense of pride as the "little butler" of the team.

"Invite him in."

Chen Lun nodded and smiled.

Connie complied, and then closed the door and left.

In a few moments, she ushered in a middle-aged man dressed in gold and red with a ruffled lace collar, who held his head high and looked slightly arrogant.

"Good day, Mr. Jackspet."

The man came to the desk and bowed his head slightly.

Chen Lun just glanced up at him, and then stretched out his hand to signal.

"You may be seated."

"No need, I'll leave when I'm done."

The man seemed offended that Chen Lun did not get up, displeasure flashed in his eyes, he put his hands behind his back, and continued:

"His Majesty was very pleased to hear that Your Excellency had arrived at Tourmaline Kloster, and sent me to tell you that the 23rd of this month is the Imperial Celebration Day, and His Majesty the Prince will personally award the medal on that day, so please dress neatly, in accordance with Imperial etiquette, and never be late."

"yes, I see."

Chen Lun bowed his head slightly.

The man paused for a moment, then added:

"By the way, after the investiture ceremony, there is also a dinner hosted by the prince, and Your Excellency is also on the list of invitees...... However, the guests present are all powerful and celebrity, as well as other high-ranking church officials, so please do not be rude. ”

"Of course."

Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle.

The royal steward said that, and nodded his head.

Chen Lun looked at the other party's back and shook his head slightly, this is the person of the Sun Royal Family, somewhat arrogant, even if he is the consul of the Consul of the Imperial Inquisition, this steward does not take him very seriously.

Perhaps there is a key reason for this, that is, Chen Lun is not a high-ranking person.

If it was in front of a sage, this royal steward would never dare to speak with such an attitude.

'In the end, it's still ...... strength'

Chen Lun was not annoyed, but just shook his head with emotion.

It's a pity that the mythological knowledge of Sequence 4 has no clue yet, the fairyland has basically been explored, and Philip can't be contacted for the time being...... It is still necessary to start from the official side, and after the celebration is over, find a chance to learn about the reward and punishment mechanism within the Imperial Inquisition. ’

After this little episode.

The next day.

Chen Lun is preaching to the believers at the Kang Yi Church.

By virtue of his multitasking, he had already memorized the Bible of the Council of Justice, and his teachings were well understood, and he was able to preach them with ease.

If it weren't for the Bible in his hand, he would have been more in line with the image of a priest, and he would have even found a chair to lie down and speak empty-handed.

In the past few days, more and more believers have come to worship, not only admiring it, but also spreading the news of the "holy water of atonement" before, and many residents of Wangcheng who are eager to prolong their lives and heal their illnesses want to try their luck.

It's a pity that in the eyes of the believers, this Father Jack did not see anyone except during the "working hours" from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and he never mentioned the matter of the "holy water of atonement", which made many people who came to join in the fun disappointed.

At 2:25 p.m., Chen Lun finished his sermon early and stood on the stage to listen to the complaints of the believers.

This is one of his responsibilities.

Logically speaking, these things are not the responsibility of the consul, but because his councilors have other things to do and are not familiar with the "business", they can only do it themselves for the time being.

But this situation will be better in a while.

Chen Lun planned to unload the priest's burden after the Imperial Celebration Day and hand it over to one of the Golden Cup Councillors.

After a young male believer complains that his fledgling company has been tricked by a competitor, a couple walks into the cathedral.

"Father Jack!"

The woman cried out excitedly.

She attracted the attention of the other believers, and Chen Lun also raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

The couple were Fana and Johnston, whom they had seen earlier on the Pearl Bamogo, and he had persuaded them to join the Conrad Council and believe in the crown of Conrad, but Mr. Johnston politely declined the offer.

"John was deceived! That damn Patel, who we trusted him so much and regarded him as our best friend and partner, didn't expect him to play John like a fool and run away with all our initial funds! ”

Fana said indignantly.

Her husband, Johnston, was depressed, and even felt shameless because of his wife's rudeness.
