The sheriff frowned slightly as he watched one clergy after another being arrested into the governor's palace.

When the new governor said that he was going to clean up the church, they thought that he was just talking big, thinking that he had been pestered by the metropolitan for a day and a night, and that he should come back crying and confessing his mistakes to God, but they did not expect that he actually did it.

It's not good for you!

The sheriff looked at the chaos in the streets, some were smashing shops, some were burning houses, some were looting and fighting, and the cries of the citizens had been heard throughout Faron tonight, but he had mobilized three brigades and could not suppress the chaos, and the council that the governor had just informed was probably going to teach himself a lesson.

The sheriff sighed when he thought of this, the governor had just spent a lot of money to entrap the mercenary group, so that he had no chance to be soft on him, if he fought against those powerful mercenary groups, his team must be doubled to be sure of victory, but he had just gotten a sum of money and was ready to recruit troops, but he didn't want these unconscious rats to make such a big mess for himself.

The old mayor's pit viper mercenary group is not bad, but unfortunately he will not watch himself take the position. A courtier of the Farron family, he knew his ambitions, but the family did not allow him to do so.

"Whoever has achieved great things throughout the ages has to go through a lot of difficulties, and it seems that becoming the actual controller of Faron City has to rely on himself!" The sheriff clenched his fists and led the guards towards the town hall.

"Mr. Sheriff." When the sheriff reached the door of the town hall, two mercenaries reached out to stop him, "You can't bring weapons, and they can't go in." ”

"Mercenary, you know the consequences of doing this." Hearing this, the sheriff looked at them with a fierce gaze, and the threat was self-evident.

"We're the Doge's Guard now, please see this clearly." The mercenary said as he pulled off the epaulettes on his shoulders.

"Good, stay here." The sheriff turned to his men and said, then pushed away the hand that wanted the weapon, and walked into the town hall.

No matter what happens today, I can only endure it!

In the council chamber, the sheriff entered, and the governor and the other four were already waiting there, and he glanced at the other councillors, and finally took his place.

"It's time to start with the Governor." The clerk in charge of the record said.

"Okay." The Governor nodded, looked at the other councillors and the members of the listening group below, and said, "I think you all know your responsibilities, we are all representatives of one side, you are responsible for the citizens of the entire city of Farlon, and I am responsible for the royal family in addition to the citizens. ”

"Elected officials for the citizens, we naturally understand our mission." The other councillors chimed in.

"Okay, I won't say much if everyone understands this." The Governor nodded, then looked at the councillors and the members of the listening group, "The Church has recently done something that is not in line with the shepherds, and I have already talked to the Metropolitan, who is very determined to rectify and restore the broken faith of the people. ”

"Therefore, I propose to issue a decree that any citizen who has been deceived by the clergy, including but not limited to indulgences, near exorcisms, probate fees, high-interest loans, commercial repression, etc., can come to the city hall court to report the case, and the magistrate must be treated as an ordinary citizen, without theocracy interference."

After the governor proposed the decree, the listening group below immediately made an uproar, and the faces of several other councillors remained unchanged, their relationship with the church was unclear, and they could not talk about much interest, but the governor first took the most difficult church to deal with, once the decree was successfully promulgated, when their interests were involved in the future, no one could come to the governor.

"Mr. Governor, the church is a servant of God outside the world, and if the worldly laws are used to punish them, it will be tantamount to offending God, and it will also make the citizens of the whole city completely disappointed in the church, once they lose their faith, the consequences are unimaginable!" Councillor of Ordinary Affairs spoke.

"The church is God's spokesman on earth, the propagator of God's faith, and it is blasphemous for citizens to sue the church, and no one can tell whether their souls have turned to the devil and done slanderous things for the sake of gain, so it will be difficult for the court to judge." The law enforcement councillor followed.

"I think the Governor's proposal is good, this decree is not against the faith of God or the Church, qualified clergy naturally need the admiration of believers, but it is undeniable that there are dark people who are blinded by the devil, they violate the doctrine of God, and the betrayal of indulgences and other things are contrary to what the Church has said in the past!" Members of the Chamber of Commerce chose to be supportive.

"You can't say that, indulgences were first proposed by the Holy See, and they are being implemented in many regions." The law enforcement councillor retorted.

"So there are bad people in the church, I heard that the diocesan bishops in many places are against this, after all, only pious repentance can go to heaven, and it is okay to spend money to go to heaven to scold God?" The Chamber of Commerce member snorted.

"You son of Judah!" The magistrate stood up angrily.

"You church lackey!" The Chamber of Commerce member also showed no weakness, and still held a stick in his hand.

"Alright, alright, the Chamber of Commerce member puts his cane down." The governor pointed to the huge wooden stick in his hand and said, "It is normal for the council to have disagreements, everyone is for the good of the citizens, after all, no one wants to be deceived and lose their property, and the pious do not want their lifelong repentance to be exchanged for someone else who can get the same treatment as himself for a little money, and we should vote on the decree that the clergy extort the secular must be judged by the secular courts." ”

"Raise your hand in agreement."

The Governor raised his hand after saying this, and only the Chamber of Commerce member of the other five councillors raised his hand.

"Oh, it looks like there's only two votes." The Governor nodded, not disappointed, "If you object, please raise your hand." ”

The law enforcement councillor raised his hand, and the regular councillor also raised his hand, and the law enforcement councillor couldn't help but glare at the finance and taxation councillor when he saw that the scene was flat, and the latter also raised his hand when he saw this.

"Three votes, not bad." Seeing this, the Governor looked at the Standing Councillor, "Your Excellency is the representative of the citizens, and those citizens who have been deceived and plundered know that you oppose the decree and do not know what it will be, and I think the following listening group will tell them the news." ”

When the councillor looked at the listening group when he heard this, he saw that many people inside were glaring at him, and even began to appear to discuss the replacement of him during the re-election, which made his heart heavy for no reason, and he put down his hand after weighing it again.

"Is the Governor directly threatening the votes of the councillors in the council in disregard for the sanctity and justice of the Council of Six?" The magistrate saw that the regular councillor had lowered his hand and immediately questioned.

"I'm just stating the facts, as for the threats, you have to think about it, this may be the last time you raise your hand." The Governor said with a smile.

The treasurer frowned when he heard this, he looked at the silent sheriff on the side, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I abstain." ”
