"Strange ceiling ......"

After a headache, Tuohuan woke up. However, it was not the top of the tent that came into view, but clearly a room. He subconsciously touched the knife on his waist and wanted to see his surroundings again.

A calloused hand grabbed his cheek and squeezed it hard.

"Don't sleep, get me up quickly!" The Queen Mother's loud voice came: "Do you know how much happened this night, still sleep!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Tuohuan pinched her with no drunkenness, but she couldn't speak.

"It's not easy to learn well, but it's bad to learn!" The Queen Mother said angrily: "I didn't learn much about my skills, so I learned to drink!" Drink it, and I'll drink it to death for you sooner or later! ”

With that, she shook her hand and walked to the door angrily: "Come here quickly!" ”

"Hey, what's wrong?" Tuhuan sat up for some reason, looked out the window, and realized that he had already sent people back to the palace, so he could only mutter: "I don't even feel anything......

"Your father woke up more than half an hour ago, and your mother told him about the night, and he ran to the city in a hurry, and asked someone to wake you up and bring you over to help." The Queen Mother told him: "As a result, you slept more dead than him, and your mother and they couldn't shout at all, so they had to find a donkey cart and pull you over first." ”

"Ah......" Tuohuan was very embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The Queen Mother had to briefly explain to him what she knew.

"Theodora has taken people to settle the situation in the city, and has not yet returned. You Guo Kanganda was injured and is still lying in the palace. She finally said: "For the specific situation, you can ask him himself." ”

"Is he well?" Tuohuan asked.

"You can't die, don't worry, this kid is very hard." The Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "He said that he was fine, because his armor was good, and the enemy couldn't do any damage." But everyone insisted on stripping him naked for inspection, and found that the iron armor under his clothes was completely deformed, and his whole body was bruised. The biggest damage was actually bombarded by cannons. ”

"Moreover, there are several arrows, which have actually pierced through the armor and pierced the flesh. The blood that flowed out stained a piece red, and he didn't know it, so he pulled out the arrow and continued to fight with people. By the time we examined them, the wounds were no longer bleeding, but the Imperial Doctor said that the wound still had to be treated. As a result, in the process of processing, he fainted in pain. ”

"Oh my God." Tuohuan's eyes widened and he muttered, "This guy is really crazy......"

"I didn't expect it to be like this." The Queen Mother also whispered helplessly: "Taking advantage of the previous team's efforts, your mother specially asked his family's family, as well as a few priests in the church who often corresponded with him and helped him tinker with the organs. They said that they had never seen any conflict between Kang Xiaozi and the Wang family. These two sides of the road may not have had much contact before. ”

"Your mother told me just now, she also thinks it's strange, because even if the Wang family falls, he won't be able to take advantage of it, and I don't know why he works so hard."

"I'll tell you before, he's actually very religious. It's just that the object of his devotion is a little different from that of ordinary believers. I wonder if he was aware of some deeper aspect of Heavenly Father? But this religious knowledge is not what I know. Tuhuan shook his head and analyzed:

"It's surprising, but I don't think there are many people in the monastery of the Church who are more devout than him. It's really scary for a person like this to have a seizure when he encounters something that he can't stand for a while. ”

"I used to think that he was visionary, quiet and down-to-earth, willing to do things seriously, and was a talent who could seek the country like his grandfather and grandfather." The Queen Mother said: "When people first told me about this, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't figure out how he planned it, I only felt that there might be some bigger strategy, or I already knew the evidence of the other party's rebellion." According to you, maybe he really didn't think about it himself? ”

"The specific reason still needs to be investigated, but I think that such a thing as rebellion will not really irritate him. Because rebellion is too worldly. What really excites him is probably something else. Tuohuan said.

"The church on our side is very pagan, although nominally they all recognize the immortal heaven as the supreme god and the heavenly brother as the prophet, but in many places, everyone has their own different understandings. In such an environment, it is easy to understand that there are people who follow religious sects and fight for political or commercial interests. ”

"I heard that in the Central Plains, different industries have different industry gods; In Europe, different industries also have their own saints. Worshipping these sacred, in order to unite the forces within the industry and strengthen the cohesion of the guild, is a choice that can be seen all over the world. It stands to reason that as long as you don't go too far, you don't have to worry about things like this. Moreover, Guo Kanganda usually sees these things quite openly, and I have never seen him struggle with this aspect. Tuhuan scratched his head: "I don't know what happened this time, the impulse is like this......"

"I've taken so many children, but I still think of this kid as simple." The Queen Mother sighed: "I originally came to see him as smart and honest, and he didn't have any bad habits." is very kind to family and friends, regardless of men and women, and should be the best choice to be a grandson-in-law. But...... If Theodora had married, she wouldn't have been bullied. ”

"What are you thinking?" Tuhuan obviously didn't believe it: "Who can still bully her?" It's good that she doesn't bully people. ”

"None of the princesses of our Liu family are fuel-efficient lamps. The last time I talked to Javanese merchants, they told me anecdotes about the East, such as how the princesses of the Yuan Dynasty bullied the king of Goryeo and so on. There are too many such things, and I haven't heard of anyone suffering a loss. I'm worried, Guo Kang's temperament, don't get used to her worse......"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it for now." The Queen Mother had no choice but to give in: "It's dawn, a bunch of people have to come to ask about the situation, you hurry up and help your father and mother, deal with it." ”

Tuohuan nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked out the door. In the corridor, many people are busy coming and going, and it seems that there are indeed a lot of things. He walked to the waiting room outside the living room on the first floor, and the cowardly Xue who was standing guard outside helped him push open the door, just in time to see Wang Da Lama inside, gesturing fiercely with several high-ranking officials of the Criminal Department.

Seeing him walk in, several people hurriedly stopped arguing and saluted him.

Tuhuan also greeted them one by one, and finally asked specifically: "Master Wang, I see that you are very angry, what's wrong?" ”

"Hey!" Grand Lama Wang exhaled vigorously: "I just went to see the Great Khan and explain the situation, but some people say that this is an ordinary gathering of lovers of pagan culture—which enthusiast will come up and bombard the church censors?" Isn't that nonsense? ”

"What?" Tuhuan hadn't heard of this detail before, so he hurriedly asked, "How many people did the church send?" ”

"The core is a regular law enforcement squad, led by a professional censor." "In addition, when we got the report, considering that the place where the crime occurred was in a slum area with very bad public security, we also specially dispatched a team of church knights to escort us. Father Mikhail and others from the Kyiv Church, because they were familiar with the situation there, also volunteered to go there and act as guides. Guo Kang went with them as our advisor. In addition, there are a few people he brought with him, but those are not on our side, they are the affairs of the military department. ”

"And what about the final casualties?" Tuohuan asked again.

"The censor and both of his retinue were martyred in the shelling, and only the accompanying paperwork survived. There were only three of the Church Knights left, who had withdrawn not long ago. Guo Gongzi and Father Mikhail were both injured and are now lying down. Wang Da Lama counted them one by one: "The priests and monks sent by the church, as well as the church in the parish, have killed nearly twenty people, and a few more have not been found so far, and may have to be increased." ”

"My God......"

"I have been the Patriarch for ten years, and I have never encountered such a heinous crime." In a stern tone, Grand Lama Wang said: "It is true that there have always been vicious incidents against church censors and clergy, but they are basically in remote areas, especially where heretics and heretics are active. Now even in the capital, this kind of thing can happen? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the last time more than 20 clergy members were killed was 18 years ago. At that time, Polish heretics infiltrated the rear, attacked a convent, and killed more than 30 nuns. He recalled, "On that occasion, Patriarch Yin ordered that all churches of the church should ring their bells once after the morning prayer until they take revenge. Later, we fought two battles and burned more than fifty heretics before and after, and the matter was over. ”

"When this kind of thing happens, everyone says what to do." He spread his hands and simply didn't say anything.

"Lao Wang, you dissipate your anger first. It's because this matter is so big that everyone has doubts. No matter how much you shout now, you can't convince anyone, and everyone else has their own reasons. Gao Liyan, a waiter from the Criminal Department who came to persuade him, said: "You first collect and sort out the evidence, and then distribute the materials to everyone to see." If it's that serious, then we won't be able to watch it. ”

"We definitely have the proof." Wang Da Lama said with confidence: "Although it is an investigation and law enforcement action, and it will not be publicized, but their trip is from Niangniang Temple, and all kinds of formalities and documents are complete, and they are in our office." ”

"The whole process of the matter is also very simple, that is, there is a believer, and the whole family has been plundered by an organization suspected of being a cult. They had the protection of the gangsters, and the believers did not dare to provoke them, so they had to report it secretly - the records of their reports were also sorted out by the parish priest at that time and handed them over to us. ”

"We also found out that some of the people who were reported were also part of the newly formed Ross Brigade. We also told the Ministry of War about this news, so they sent people to support, and even sent the commander's order flag. I don't know what's going on over there, but they definitely have a file for this kind of transfer. The officials over there should also know about this. ”

"Is there any evidence for what happened after the fight?" Tuhuan also continued to ask.

"There are a few things that are crucial, and we can find evidence." Grand Lama Wang thought for a moment and said, "At first, our law enforcement team just wanted to rush to the rescue and rescue those innocent people. The other party is not happy to hand over people, and this is how the two sides fought in the first place. Although there is no physical evidence left in this matter, there are many witnesses. At that time, the entire neighborhood was watching, and among the rioters who resisted law enforcement, some found that they could not be beaten and hurriedly surrendered. Conflict broke out relatively early in this place, and it was also relatively far from the place where the fighting was most intense, and there were relevant people on both sides who survived and could be questioned. ”

"The same is true of the use of artillery that I just mentioned. At that time, the cultists directly operated military artillery to attack our ranks, and it was at that time that our censor was killed. There are also many other injured people, and if you directly examine and ask them, you can know the situation. As for the people who saw and heard about it around, there must be at least a few hundred, and it is impossible to hide it in any case. ”

"After winning the battle, we searched the place where they were used to worship and found the remains of the victim, the informant's children. The whistleblower and his wife were too sad to participate in the follow-up, and Father Mikhail commissioned several good faithful to transport the remains of them and their children to a church far from the ghetto, so that they were not affected by the fighting. I have sent someone to protect them, and if I need a confession and evidence, I can ask for it. ”

"That's all I have to think about for a moment. As I said before, there are so many people involved in this matter that there is no possibility of concealment. The Great Lama said categorically: "If there is a need for investigation, the church will fully cooperate." But we must also get an answer. ”

"Most of the nearly twenty priests and monks who lost this time came all the way from the Rus' region. They are all the most pious, excellent and promising people of the local diocese, carrying the ardent hopes of us, especially the Kiev Church. Originally, they were supposed to return to their homeland after proper training to preach the gospel and the indoctrination of Rome. We, General Cao and others, have already drafted new proposals to further develop the Rus region, and these people are the most important pillars of this. Their martyrdom was certainly an honor for themselves, but it was still an irreparable loss to the missionary cause of the Church and the grand goals of Rome. ”

"The Church in Kiev is also very shocked by this, and the permanent representative in the capital, Bishop Grigory, has submitted an official petition to me, asking the Church of Rome to give them an account. It is the front line of our fight against the enemy of the north and the opening of new territory, and we cannot give them a chill in any way. The Grand Lama Wang looked at Tuhuan, arched his hand to Gao Liyan, and said:

"Taiji, and Lao Gao, I know that everyone has difficulties, but other things are easy to discuss, only this problem, the church can never make concessions. If all this kind of behavior is lightly exposed, will there be any prestige and sanctity of the Church? We can't give an account to the many believers and clergy! ”

"Okay, okay, I see. I'm going to write an official document, Lao Wang, you can also trouble, hurry up and sort out the materials, and give me a copy. Gao Liyan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't make trouble here, there are still a bunch of things." ”

Grand Lama Wang sighed and nodded.

"I'm angry for a moment - hey, I feel sorry to think about so many dead and wounded." He frowned and pursed his lips, looking like his flesh was really painful: "Forget it, let the old man breathe first...... I'll go back first, and I'll have the materials delivered in the afternoon. ”

Gao Liyan saw him say this, and he had no other opinions. Tuhuan first comforted Wang Da Lama with kind words, and praised Gao Liyan, praising him for being diligent in state affairs and being able to put justice first. Both thanked him and took their own leave.

Tuhuan thought about it, followed Wang Da Lama again, and walked a few steps.

"Taiji?" The Great Lama Wang apparently also noticed that he still had something to say, and turned around and waited for a while.

"Master Wang, have you seen General Cao before?" Tuhuan stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"I've seen it." Grand Lama Wang nodded.

Tuhuan pointed in the direction where Guo Kang was resting.

"Well, he was framed by thieves for what we arranged, and he was injured like this. We will support you to the end. Grand Lama Wang said with certainty.
