Ningguta!

Somewhere in a cell.

Luo Xin was wearing a white robe around his body and a large white mask, like an authentic "angel in white". With Mader, who was wearing civilian clothes and covering his mouth and nose next to him, his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't stop retching, he watched the person opposite him examine a corpse on the board.

This is the floating corpse that Ma De found on the surface of the river when they were pearl diving, and it was torn by fierce beasts!

Thinking that it was just an unlucky bastard who encountered a tiger, a blind bear and other fierce beasts, Ma De even sent a group of men to sweep the nearby mountains and forests for this purpose, so as to prevent anyone from being in danger. However, what I didn't expect was that less than two days after the body was transported back to Ningguta, it was discovered suspiciously.

This dead guy's hands are clean!

In other words, if this person really encountered a fierce beast, then he was gnawed without even fighting back! However, this possibility is too small, because the "one-hit killing technique" of the beast is not so powerful, and even if these beasts are engaged in surprise attacks, they usually only bite people's necks, but this dead guy is full of wounds, but there is no skin on his neck.

As a result, Ningguta's first murder in history was released.

……

"This man died from a blunt blow, wounded in the back of the head...... "The body was examined by a veteran of Ningguta, named Hong Ao, who had been hit in the butt by Luo Xin with a musket and was almost half paralyzed from then on. But he is not at a loss, for the sake of his name, Luo Xin and Ma De almost went to the end of the world, if it weren't for Ma De at the last moment to find out that he had nothing to do with the Aixin Jueluo family, I am afraid that even the three of Fei Laotou, Yu Zhong, and Mo Jing would have to flee away together. For this, he used to be very proud for a while, although he didn't know why. (Aixin Jueluo's "Hong" generation is still young)

“…… Can you tell what kind of blunt object it is? After listening to Hongao's conclusion, Luo Xin asked.

"Gege, the small one is not a pretense, examining the corpse is purely a personal hobby, and your requirements can't be too high......," Hongao said dissatisfied. In any case, he has been under Luo Xin and Ma De for two or three years, and his speech has become more and more level. In fact, not only him, but almost everyone who was closer to Ma De and Luo Xin was affected.

"Master, the people sent out have searched the thirty miles of Ningguta Fangyuan, and they have not found any suspicious people! ......" Rising Sun stood behind Ma De and reported to the two of them.

"It's a bit of a hassle...... Send a few more people to look for it, go farther away, and ask if anyone has a missing person in the neighborhood and report it......" Ma De thought for a moment, retching as he commanded.

"Wow!" The rising sun answered, but did not move.

"How many times have you searched the upper reaches of the river? Have you ever found a place where the beast haunts? Luo Xin asked again.

"Back to the master, I've searched twice, but I haven't found anything!" Rising Sun replied.

"Hmm...... In this case, take the mastiff that Wendurhan sent me with you, Dognose Spirit, you should be able to find something......" Luo Xin thought for a moment and said again.

"Wow!" Rising Sun turned and walked out of prison.

……

"Hongao, where is Hailiu?" After leaving the prison where the corpses were released, Luo Xin asked Hongao again. Hong Ao is a veteran oilman, Hailiu is a ruffian, the two have the same smell, and they often mess around together, so Luo Xin asked.

"Back to Gege, that kid from Hailiu listened to your words, and has been waiting in the garden for the past two days!"

"Garden? Those won't bloom until May next year...... I'm really convinced! Mader sighed with a smile.

"Hmph, this shows that Ben Gege has taught well! …… But then again, it was a gift sent to me by Zhong Xiaozhen, and if he dared to show me badly, I would definitely make him look good......" Luo Xin said.

"Yes, it's also thanks to Hailiu's aunt who worked as a gardener in the palace, and he learned two tricks from him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been skinned and cramped by you?" Mader shook his head and smiled.

"Hehe, who told Hailiu that kid to talk a lot? Isn't it, my lord? …… He himself bumped into Gege's muzzle and was sent to the garden to plant flowers, which was his blessing,...... "Although Hongao was talking to Ma De, he was obviously patting Luo Xin's ass.

"Blessings? Hong Ao, Hailiu is not only a blessing, maybe it is also wealth! Mader laughed.

"Talent? That kid doesn't know a lot of words, what kind of talent can he have? Hongao said disdainfully.

"What talent? I'm talking about the wealth of getting rich. Ma De said: "You don't know how powerful the flower is!" That's a tulip! Wait for the trial planting, and then large-scale planting, with a few interesting legends, will definitely be able to impress the hearts of many ladies and ladies, and when the time comes, the price will definitely soar all the way, and you can earn a ...... a year."

"How much do you earn?" Hongao asked.

"It doesn't matter how much you earn...... That's your Hingeger's fat powder money! Seeing Luo Xin's face that constantly shifts between staring and cloudy, Ma De immediately declared that he had no ambitions for the income from the sale of tulips in the future.

"Cut! Not to mention pulling down...... What tulips? Isn't it just the old wow? What kind of height......" Hongao didn't get an answer, and deliberately belittled the value of tulips. But he was right, no one in China at this time knew what tulips were, that is, in Western Mongolia, where tulips are produced, these tulips are only dug out by nearby people and eaten as wild vegetables, and there is a not very elegant name: Lao Wow Garlic!

However, although he said it lightly, Hongao's heart has already begun to consider Hai Liu's share of the pie! He knows Luo Xin and Ma De's vision, he can make a lot of money by planting vegetables, and it shouldn't be much worse to plant flowers this time, right? Moreover, Ma De and Luo Xin have always been quite generous......

*********

Naoli!

Tongzhou Wharf!

A group of missionaries from Western Europe, Bai Jin, Zhang Cheng, Hong Ruohan, Nan Huairen, who had a transcendent position in the Qing court, and even Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, waited quietly.

It wasn't until a luxurious ship quietly approached the dock under the escort of several sailor frigates that these people hurriedly greeted it.

However, they did not get on the boat, but waited on the dockside.

Soon, a brown-haired priest dressed in a red clerical robe appeared on the deck and waved haughtily at them.

"It's a cardinal!" Li Guangdi had already consulted people before he came, and he knew a little about the hierarchy of the Catholic clergy, but he still did not expect that the Vatican envoy would be a cardinal archbishop. "This is almost their sixth-level figure in the Papal States......" Li Guangdi thought to himself.

"I'm Doro!" Looking at the people who greeted him below, the cardinal archbishop didn't immediately step off the deck, but just said to Bai Jin and the others calmly.

"Hello, Honorable Archbishop Doro!" Bai Jin and the others took the lead in bowing down towards Doro, and Li Guangdi also gave a fist salute.

"May the Lord bless you......" said the Vatican cardinal, with a somewhat strange name, in response to the courtesy.

"Boring!" Li Guangdi said secretly in his heart again. He didn't understand what the Bishop of Doro was saying, but he felt that this guy was a little contrived.

"Lord Bishop, please ......" After seeing the ceremony, Bai Jin and the other priests made their debut, and respectfully asked Doro to move and disembark.

"In Xia Li Guangdi, Xi is the governor of Zhili, and by the will of the Kangxi Emperor of our dynasty, I am here to welcome the papal envoys......" Seeing that the Bishop of Dora disembarked from the ship, surrounded by several people dressed as Western knights, Li Guangdi also greeted him.

"May the Lord bless Your Majesty the Emperor!" Listening to Bai Jin's translation, his gaze stayed on Li Guangdi's face for a moment, and Doro narrowed his eyes.

"Thank you...... Please! Li Guangdi leaned sideways and made a gesture of please.

"Hmm!" Nodding his head nonchalantly, Doro walked away, and several papal guards behind him also followed closely, not giving Lee Guangdi a chance to talk with Doro at all, or rather, not giving Lee Guangdi a chance to walk side by side with Doro.

"How so? ......" Seeing this scene, Nan Huairen asked Zhang Cheng, Bai Jin and the others in puzzlement. However, Zhang Cheng, Bai Jin and others also looked at a loss...... Li Guangdi's status in the Qing court is second only to the four prime ministers of the current dynasty, and he is the head of the world's governors, although Doro is a cardinal, but how can he be so arrogant in front of Li Guangdi? That's not a good situation......

"He didn't even greet us......" Looking at Doro's back, Bai Jin whispered to his companion again. And after he reminded him, Nan Huairen, Zhang Cheng and others also woke up, indeed, from this Doro, it seems that it has always been these few people who are greeting this archbishop.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Cheng asked humbly. However, no one could give him an answer.

……

Bai Jin, Nan Huairen and the others were still guessing what Doro's attitude meant, and one of the guards around the cardinal came over and invited them to Doro's side.

"I came to China on the orders of the Pope...... One of them is that His Majesty the great Pope Gremender XI has just ruled that the missionary methods of the Jesus Society in China are illegal, and that the Holy See will not allow you to use the same methods in the future......"

"What?" Bai Jin and the others were all members of the Jesuit Society, and they were naturally shocked when they heard Doro's words, but before they could react, this Bishop Doro threw out another bomb that was absolutely a blockbuster for them: "His Majesty the Pope has promulgated the "Seven Prohibitions", which stipulates that believers in China are not allowed to use the word 'heaven' or the word 'God' from now on; It is not allowed to sacrifice holes and ancestors. It is not allowed to enter the Confucian Temple to pay respects. They are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to pay their respects. It is not allowed to leave a tablet at home according to Chinese rules......"
