Chapter 436: Succession

It was not good to leave the cardinal's body in the temple, so Sharp had it retracted.

After a while, the two white-clad bishops returned, their faces extremely gloomy.

"And what kind of cultivation is Scott?" One of them asked in an extremely unkind tone towards Sharp.

Sharp was not annoyed by this, and patiently replied: "He is a Ninth Rank Holy Cultivator, could it be that you didn't catch him?" ”

As he spoke, Sharp looked surprised.

"Hmph, don't say I've caught it, I haven't even seen a figure! Sharp, I doubt the truth of your words. ”

Hearing this, Sharp just chuckled, "You don't find anyone to blame me, I think you want to squeeze me out, and then compete for the cardinal's position; Hey, thinking about it, the two of you are also very motivated to commit the crime, where were you two at the time of the crime? Did you co-opt Scott to kill the bishop and then try to put the blame on me? ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and before Scott was caught, all these inferences were highly probable, after all, no one could prove the truth of these inferences.

"Sharp, don't spew blood! We don't have your wolf ambitions! ”

"Sharp, I think you want to take advantage of the crisis of the church to ascend to the throne, that's why you killed the bishop."

In the face of the reproach of the two, Sharp was not moved at all, "Since the two of you are so sure, then take out the evidence to prove my crime, don't just know how to talk there!" ”

"You ......"

The two of them choked on Sharp enough and wanted to do something to Sharp.

But at this moment, the two of them were suddenly surrounded by everyone in the hall, these were all subordinates promoted by Sharp over the years.

Seeing this, the two of them were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that so many people in the church were working for Sharp.

can sit in the position of the white bishop, the two can naturally recognize the situation, if they stand on the opposite side of Sharp at this time, I am afraid that sooner or later the two will be wiped out by Sharp in this world.

"Don't be angry, two bishops, now is not the time for us to fight, as long as we can catch Scott, the truth will be revealed, I guess he must have been hidden by the royal family, we can send someone to search the imperial city, what do you think?"

Although they were very unwilling, what could the two of them do, they could only choose to compromise: "Well, it should be so." ”

"But there's one more thing to do before that." Sharp said, "The church is in a time of crisis, and it cannot be left without a man of great authority for a day; Now that the Bishop is dead, we should elect a new Cardinal as soon as possible. ”

"According to the canon, the cardinal archbishop should be chosen by vote among the three of us, what do you have to say?"

Sharp's remarks did not surprise the two, as they had the same idea after the cardinal's death.

But judging from the current situation, the position of cardinal will definitely fall into the hands of Sharp, who has attracted so many people in the church, and the two have no hope of being elected cardinals at all.

"Sharp, let's not talk darkly, you will succeed you in the position of cardinal, and we will assist you in handling church affairs in the future."

"That's right."

The words of the two made Sharpson very satisfied, which greatly satisfied Sharp's vanity.

"Well, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you two are very good, so continue to sit firmly in the position of the white cardinal."

"See Cardinal!"

For a moment, everyone in the hall said in unison, and then knelt down on one knee towards Sharp.

Sharp closed his eyes with great enjoyment, and took a long breath to calm his excitement.

"Please come." Sharp opened his arms and raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Cardinal!" The crowd rose one after another.

Sharp looked at the crowd and said, "The cardinal's bones are not cold, we must catch the murderer!" The murderer has a great connection with the royal family, send someone to surround the imperial city, and then investigate! ”

"Yes!"

……

"Father is not good! The white bishop is leading his troops! ”

After receiving the report from the spies, Laura hurriedly informed Moruk of the news.

Moruk's expression was very gloomy, and it seemed that he had learned the news.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in Moluk's arms, and Moluk hurriedly took out the arms in his arms and put them in his ears to listen for a while.

I saw that Moruk's expression suddenly became surprised, and then he said to Laura with a nervous expression: "The cardinal is dead, Sharp has become the new cardinal, they are here to kill us!" ”

Hearing the news, Laura was speechless for a moment, these two news were too shocking for her.

How can a cardinal die if he is good? What's worse is that the successor is still Sharp!

"Father, what should we do?" Laura asked, looking a little flustered.

Moruk said as a matter of course: "You can only run!" And the farther you run, the better, and at the same time contact Lu Rusheng to come and answer! ”

"Yes...... But the church is already on their way here, how are we going to run? Laura frowned, puzzled.

"Run from here!"

With that, Moruk walked briskly over to the desk and fiddled with the drawers of the desk.

Immediately, I saw that the bookshelf on the left side slowly opened, revealing a secret passage: "This place leads directly to the outside of the city, go and call your brother quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”

Laura nodded, hurried out of the study, and informed John of the news.

Laura and John packed up their things briefly and rushed to the study, only to see that the study was full of ministers and guards, and they were entering the secret passage in an orderly manner to escape from here.

Seeing Laura and John rushing over, they hurriedly gave way to the two of them.

These ministers and guards were loyal to the royal family, otherwise they would not have followed Moruk all the time.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are spies among these people, but how can they have time to identify spies, and it is difficult for everyone to supervise each other and send news to the outside world.

Laura and John were not polite to the others, and followed Moruk into the dark tunnel.

There is a lot of room in this dark passage, and it is not a problem for four or five people to be in parallel, and everyone keeps running along the dark passage towards the outside of the city.

Although Lu Yanqing was dressed in a vampire clan, there were still vampires stationed around Syming City, and Fei Qi was also near Burning City, so Lu Yanqing sent a message to Fei Qi and asked him to go to support.

When the last person entered the tunnel, the study was restored to its original state, and a noise came from outside: "Search me!" ”

After searching for a while, Sharp walked into Moruk's study.

"Cardinal, there are many footprints in this study, and people have disappeared from here!"

An envoy bowed to Sharp.

Sharp crouched down and looked at the footprints on the ground, finally fixing his eyes on the bookshelf......
