The old mayor came to Archbishop Sandos with a thick stack of papers.

He was panting heavily, his head was full of sweat, and he didn't care about wiping it, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "General, it's all here." ”

Sandos glanced at him: this old fellow actually knew how to call himself "General." This alone was enough to make the archbishop's heart feel a little happy.

But then, as soon as he lowered his head and looked at the stack of newspapers more than three inches thick in the old mayor's arms, Archbishop Sandos was suddenly taken aback, and couldn't help but "hiss" a breath, and secretly said in his heart: This is ,......... , that's too much~!

It seems that the enemy is not sparing any blood and wants to engage in a public opinion offensive~!

Archbishop Sandos is not a nobleman who is as black as a crow in the world since he was a child, and he will only say stupid things like why not eat minced meat.

On the contrary, although he came from an aristocratic family, Archbishop Sandos has extensive experience in grassroots work,

I know all the numbers related to people's lives, such as prices, residents' living index, average happiness index, consumption index, etc.

This is a necessary job for a middle and high-ranking clergy in the Holy See~!

Because as an archbishop, when he takes his younger brothers to the countryside to collect the sacred and inviolable tithing tax granted to the church by the God of Light, he must clearly know how much an egg costs, how much an old hen costs, how much a pound of barley costs, how much a pound of wheat costs, how much flour a pound of wheat can grind, how much a strong laborer can earn every day, and so on.

As long as you understand these things first, you can fight wits and courage with ordinary people, grassroots petty bureaucrats, and clerks under you, so as not to let yourself be fooled by these people.

Those dead people are not good birds, and if they collect too much, they really dare to manipulate the bricks and shoot their own black bricks.

And if you collect less, or if you don't pay the account, Archbishop Sandos himself is responsible.

Even out of their own pockets to fill the shortfall. Chapter 978: The Crows in the World Are As Black as They Are (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Although in the early stage, he did not suffer less losses in this regard, and was cheated many times by the dead people, but in the past ten years, he has become much more shrewd. Basically, no one can fool his sharp eyes anymore.

Basically, with a glance at it, you will know what is about the price. Putting away taxes is also unstoppable. is always just stepping on the psychological bottom line of those people. It can collect a little more, but it won't make them scream in pain.

Therefore, looking at the stack of papers, the archbishop felt his heart sink.

He knew very well that among all things, paper was a luxury, even the lowest grade of straw paper, not something that ordinary peasants could consume, and better quality paper would only appear in the homes of nobles.

As for the finest parchment, it was used only by the Holy See to copy the Canon.

Naturally, books, such a rarity that carries knowledge only for the rich, are useless for the common people, most of whom are illiterate.

The guy who can write his own name is also a rare intellectual in the ten miles and eight towns.

And it is even more amazing to have a butt wiping paper at home. Basically, he has stepped into the ranks of high-level intellectuals, and he is very respected.

And those papers are many times better than the quality of butt wiping paper. Smooth and neat, the paper is wide and the price is definitely high.

With a glance at it, Archbishop Sandos had already estimated that the thick stack of paper was worth about two or three gold coins.

When the old mayor saw the general in front of him, he found that he was staring at the paper in his arms with a solemn face, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. I know: This may be a big disaster~!

He bent down and cautiously peeked at Archbishop Sandos's face and said with trepidation: "Your Excellency. This was given to me by someone else, not me. I've got a picture here, and the rest is here.

I think this paper is good, so... So I want to give it to my little grandson to practice calligraphy."

Archbishop Sandos snorted coldly and said, "What others gave you, you dare to post what others gave you?

Grandma's, if someone else gives you a knife, will you dare to assassinate Her Majesty?

Do you know that this is a great crime of rebellion, but it will destroy the nine clans. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced maliciously at the people behind him.

The people were also in an uproar for a while.

Due to the inconvenient transportation, I can't contact the outside world for many years, so I can live in a small town for so many years, and basically all of them are a little bit of relatives.

Like Xiao Xige, he said that it was a baby born to his father and niece. And Xiao Xige also liked his niece at the beginning. The taste is heavy and ruthless.

But for them, it's not a very unethical thing.

The same is true of this people. At the beginning, they were quite disgusted with this guy who was not like a bishop and a general who was not like a general, and their basic understanding was that this was another bad guy who was a dead fat pig bastard and invaded our country.

But at this time, when they heard that this dead fat pig bastard actually threatened to "exterminate the Nine Clans", everyone was a little scared.

Looking at the swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the old army around them, they didn't dare to say anything, but wasn't there the old mayor next to him?

They immediately complained loudly to the old townman, and they had long seen that this old guy was not a thing, but they didn't expect that he was so not a thing. What are you doing with other people's newspapers? It's not that Santos can't help but laugh in his heart when he listens to everyone's gossip accusations.

He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to shut up, and then looked at the mayor and scolded: "You old bastard~! Originally, I was going to use a knife, but I was in a good mood today." Give you one last chance.

Say, who gave it to you? Why did you post it?"

"Say~!" The guards beside the archbishop immediately flashed their bright swords, and the sharp tips of their swords pointed at the old man, and shouted in unison.

This kind of scaring formation, when they used to go to the countryside, they played too much, and they knew how to cooperate without rehearsals.

Seeing the bright blade dangling in front of his eyes, as if it would penetrate his body in the next moment, piercing himself to the heart, the old mayor's frightened legs were weak, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and even the big-character poster in his arms was "boom, boom, scattered to the ground."

He fell to his knees and cried out in horror, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." I said, I said it all..."

Looking at his pale face, Archbishop Sandos couldn't help but smile slightly.

The scene in front of him made him suddenly feel like he was back in his hometown, and the pressure and depression of consecutive defeats were much less for a while, although when he bullied these rich people in the countryside before, the archbishop himself did not have much sense of accomplishment.

Archbishop Sandos gave him a disgusted look and said, "Pull him up." ”

A few wolf-like soldiers grabbed the old mayor's clothes and picked him up.

Archbishop Sandos paced back and forth in front of the old mayor with his hands behind his back, and said, "Say it. ”

The old mayor looked at the long sword hanging around his neck, and the cold blade was attached to his neck, so frightened that the cold hairs on his whole body stood up.

The old mayor cried and said, "A few days ago, there was a passing merchant in our town...............

Archbishop Sandos interrupted him and snapped, "A few days ago?"

"Son, three...... No, it's four days~!

Four days ago, he gave me ten gold coins and told me to post these notices. 1 The villain did not dare to deceive the general, it was really given by others. 1 villain, I was confused for a while, so I posted this thing. ”

Archbishop Sandos said secretly in his heart: If you put up a leaflet, you will give ten gold coins, but Haddou is very ghostly. Counting the paper money, counting the labor costs, and counting the money given to the locals, even if the whole Almohads were pasted all over the place, Haddou would not be able to buy a million, but the impact caused by it was really impossible to buy one or two million.

The Holy See has to spend 10 million or 20 million yuan on publicity every year, but the effect is far worse than the advertising placed by the Flying Eagle Group.

Archbishop Sandos secretly admired, this guy is really a famous general~!

Glancing at the old mayor who was so frightened that he was about to pee, Archbishop Sandos laughed and said leisurely: "As the mayor of the town, do you know that this is a very serious crime~!"

If you discover enemy elements, you do not organize people to arrest them, and you do not report them to the government, this is already a dereliction of duty.

Do you know what kind of crime it is to accept bribes from enemy agents and openly propagate anti-Lao and the troops, anti-Empress Xià, and reactionary anti-imperial government?"

The old mayor listened to the big hat buttoned down, and his face turned white with fright, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Archbishop Sandos smiled, looked at the mayor of the town and said calmly: "This is the crime of treason and rebellion, I really don't know how to punish the crime of treason?"

The main culprit was to be taken and skinned, and beheaded after a day of public demonstration. Accomplices were beheaded for public display, and the families of the prisoners were punished with hard labor and exiled to the border until they died. 、，

The old mayor fell to the ground softly, howled and cried, and said while crying: "1 The villain is just greedy for a while, I really don't know that it is a crime, they used to stick bad words about the emperor, and the villain saw that no one cared, so he was confused for a while...... Adults spare your life, spare your life......"

Tears gathered, crying was really miserable, the townspeople next to them couldn't bear to look at it, they lowered their heads one after another, and they estimated that the old grandson of the town mayor, a bald donkey, would not survive this time.

If you change the rest of the peacekeeping force, you may be sorry for it, even if you change it to Lorraine, you don't take it seriously at all.

You must know that the lord is not less called "three feet high" Luo Papi "1 little white face,... and so on, but the lord is big-hearted, and he only smiles at this, knowing that those puppies are just envious and jealous, and he doesn't care about it.

But it was Archbishop Santos, who was born in the Holy See, who discovered this matter, and his keen political instincts instantly realized the impact behind it, and the old mayor's tearful cry was difficult to impress Archbishop Sandos.

In the eyes of Archbishop Sandos, begging for mercy now, he dared to say that he didn't expect it when he collected the money at that time?

You just want to take advantage and don't want to suffer, do you think you are a priest?

However, Archbishop Sandos does not intend to really punish this old guy, he is promoting anti-Almohad Empire government, and he is not from the Almohad Empire, so he can't afford to do this idle thing for the Almohads.

Like this kind of newspaper painted on the wall, scolding the emperor, scolding the government, scolding the church, scolding a certain official, scolding the mistress, scolding the junior, the archbishop himself has seen too much.

If it weren't for the fact that this newspaper was anti-peacekeepers, it would have had a very bad impact on their future operations, and Archbishop Sandos would not have taken care of it.

If you want to put it aside at other times, maybe the archbishop will still watch the excitement with relish on the side, and praise the writer who wrote this piece of prose is good, and if he went to write a knightly novel, he might have made money a long time ago.

It's an itchy hand.,Follow a post below.,Write a top.,Even the reader god in the legend of learning 1.,Give a monthly ticket casually... Referral tickets or something.

Seeing that it was enough to scare this old fellow, Archbishop Sandos personally pulled him up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said: "We can't beat people to death with a stick, the role of the law is to punish the former and the latter, and to cure the sick and save people, do you say?"

The old mayor nodded sluggishly, he was already stupefied.

Archbishop Sandos said: "I'll treat you as a fool for a while, and give you a chance to make meritorious deeds." ”

The old mayor's eyes lit up, he grabbed the hand of Archbishop Sandos tightly, and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, you say, 1 villain will definitely do it." ”

Archbishop Sandos said, "Go and arrest me this footman who handed over your proclamation, and if you take him back, I will intercede with you at the government and let them forgive you from your sins."

If you can't get it back...... You know the consequences. ”

The old man was like a man who was about to drown, and finally grabbed a life-saving straw, and said without thinking: "Yes, my lord, 1 villain must catch him back." He went to the town to the west, and if he went all the way down to the west, I would definitely be able to catch him, please believe me. ”

Archbishop Sandos said "um", then pointed to one of his personal entourages and said, "Joseph, you take a squadron and follow this old man to arrest people." ”

"Yes, sir. The officer replied loudly.

The old mayor couldn't wait for a moment when his life was at stake, and said, "Without further ado, 1 villain and the military master will set off." ”

"Okay," Archbishop Sandos nodded, and then instructed his men, "Joseph, it is best for you to wear civilian clothes, and if you can't, you can catch them alive, and if you can't, you can die, and the safety of your brothers comes first." ”

"Yes" The officer nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the brothers are all veterans in this kind of work." ”

Archbishop Sandos smiled, and then remembered that these Templars of the Holy See were all masters of stealing chickens and dogs.

The archbishop put away the notice on the ground, turned to Cyber and the other officers, and said, "Let's go, go to the nearest telegraph station." "A large group of knights set out overnight, galloping towards the nearby city in the dim moonlight.

The telegraph network of the peacekeeping forces is based on cities, important passes, strategic points, etc., as nodes, radiating the entire region, basically there are regiments under the peacekeeping forces, and the news can be transmitted back to the general headquarters on the same day, and then the army commander can receive the order to return to the general headquarters early the next morning.

Archbishop Sandos himself ran to the nearby town overnight, which was closed and locked for safety, but the defenders quickly opened the gate after revealing his identity.

The archbishop and his party approached the telegraph station in the barracks in the city.

Even though it was late at night, the room where the wiring was erected was still brightly lit.

When Archbishop Sandos entered the room, several officers of different regiments were dozing off on the benches.

Several telegraph operators were huddled together and were busy, and soon one of them stood up, holding a copy of the text in his hand, and said loudly: "Of the Seventeenth Legion, military order."

Seventeenth Legion~!"

The officers on the bench were excited, and then one of them rubbed his eyes and jumped up, and said, "To~!"

The telegraph operator gave him the text and said, "Military order." ”

The officer of the Seventeenth Army hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother." ”

Then he quietly handed over two gold coins, which the telegraph operator pinched and skillfully stuffed into his pocket.

Although the movement is not obvious, it cannot hide from the eyes of Archbishop Sandos.

Archbishop Sandos pulled the officer behind him and asked in a low voice, "How do you receive a telegram and stuff money?"

"Hard work" The officer smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, don't you know, this telegraph room is full of uncles, and they are very good-tempered, and the first part was fine, but then I didn't know that the grandson secretly stuffed money for them in order to send the report first."

Slowly, everyone has to stuff money, otherwise they will put our military report last before it is issued.

This is quite light, my lord, you think, this military order is like a mountain, if we can't be filial, the masters in the telegraph room will make a mistake or two words, and if something goes wrong, the headquarters will investigate it, and it is not our bad luck.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid that if it's not, I can only serve these masters first. ”

Speaking of this, the officers under his command also grinned and shook their heads helplessly.

"Oh" Archbishop Sandos pursed his lips, shook his head, and said in his heart: It seems that the world is as black as a crow.

The telegraph operator in the room heard the archbishop and his two men muttering quietly, frowned, tilted his chin and nodded at the two of them, and said impatiently: "What are you two doing? ”

The telegraph operator turned his head and muttered, "There is no plain zhì at all."

Archbishop Sandos's face turned dark, the archbishop is a big man with a head and a face, even if he meets his superiors, he is politely received, how has he ever been so despised, and he is also a small person with no position and no title.

Even if the archbishop made a mistake and was scolded by the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine, he was not treated with the same contempt as a blind stream.

Archbishop Sandos glared at him and scolded, "How can you talk about you?"

"Hi~!" The telegraph operator was shocked, showing the domineering spirit of a monopoly telecommunications company, squinting at him, and said, "How do you speak?"
