Chapter 110: The Devil of Humanity
Robert Owen was also startled by the movement of the crowd when he saw the crowd rushing out.
He shouted, "Friends! Calm down! Calm down! ”
But his persuasion had long been drowned out by the noisy shouts of the crowd, and the enthusiastic people could not hear what he was saying.
Tom looked at the uncontrollable crowd and sweated profusely, and he asked Arthur beside him, "What should we do now?" Now there are already hundreds of people here, and if there is a big trouble in the future, and the scale of thousands of people is made, there will be a big mess. ”
Arthur didn't say much, he grabbed Tom and Tony beside him, and hurriedly stopped two public carriages on the side of the road for them and stuffed them in.
"Tom, you immediately return to the Greenwich Police Station and tell them that Arthur Hastings, Superintendent of the Greenwich District of the Greater London Metropolitan Police Department, has urgently ordered the immediate mobilization of all police forces in the district to the Royal Arsenal and the Royal Shipyard in the Woolwich area of Greenwich.
A post was set up in the ten steps of the road near the Woolwich Arsenal, and three people were set up at each post to strengthen security patrols.
If you find that there are unscrupulous people who are trying to storm the arsenal, I will arrest them all, regardless of the reason! As for whether they were intentional or unintentional, we will interrogate them later.
Also, go and talk to the Royal Artillery Regiment stationed near the Woolwich Arsenal, so that if they find anything unusual, they should not rush to dispatch, neither the Cabinet nor the War Office has issued a crackdown order at the moment.
If there is a large-scale riot and the local police are not strong enough to maintain order on the scene, then the Royal Artillery Regiment will be asked to send a garrison company to assist.
In addition, I repeat that guns are not allowed, and all the flintlock muskets at the Greenwich Police Station were taken to the Woolwich Arsenal for safekeeping. At this stall, if anyone dares to throw away the gun for me, I will definitely send him to the criminal court when I turn around! ”
When Tom heard this, he hurriedly saluted Arthur: "Yes, sir! ”
"Tony, you go to Taur Hamletz and report the emergency to the Cold Creek Royal Guards Infantry Regiment in charge of the Tower of London, and if the head of the Cold Creek Royal Guards Infantry Regiment happens to be there, Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, you can report it directly to him, and send the local police to help them strengthen the guard of the Tower of London Armoury.
In addition, all the spare guns in the Taur Hamletz police station were also shipped to the Tower of London, and I knew how many guns there were, and if I found out that even one was lost, I wanted them to look good! ”
Hearing this, Tony gritted his teeth and asked, "Arthur, Taol Hamletz and Greenwich are not the same. Greenwich is our old nest, and Tom knows them well, so he can talk about it. But now that I don't have the official Scotland Yard order you signed, those guys may not want to listen to me! ”
When Arthur heard this, he understood what Tony meant.
After he was promoted to superintendent, the position of the new superintendent of Greenwich had not yet been officially confirmed, and several local sheriffs were also his old subordinates, and Tom could easily gain the trust of everyone by showing his face in the past.
But the situation of Taur Hamletz is a little more complicated, because the police inspector of Taur Hamletz came from the same Guards Cavalry Regiment as Clemens.
Although it cannot be determined that the two of them are on the same path just because they are from the same background, judging from the fact that Fred can swagger to run a detective agency in Taur Hamletz, the police inspector is probably not a good one.
Arthur licked the corners of his mouth, grabbed Tony's shoulder, shoved the pipe in his pocket, and whispered in his ear.
"If the superintendent of Taur Hamlets is disobedient, go to Jones and give him my pipe, and he will know what to do with it."
Tony exhaled slightly, then nodded lightly at Arthur: "Okay, Arthur, I know what to do, you take care." ”
Arthur watched the two of them leave in the carriage, and his hanging heart was half relieved.
He followed and stopped a public carriage behind him, and was about to step on it, only to find Agareth in front of him.
The Red Devil stretched out his wings to block out the morning sun, casting a shadow over Arthur's face.
He shook his head as he polished his nails with a file.
"Arthur, why are you doing this? They like to look for death, so let them go. Tsk, even after thousands of years, human beings still only have this level of intelligence.
Your religious texts call me the devil and say that I deceive human souls with all kinds of benefits. It's true that I deceived the soul, but I gave something anyway!
Everyone is a fair contract and fair transaction, and human beings enjoy the benefits I give, so they naturally have to pay me the benefits agreed at the beginning.
But now, it was just that someone gave them some vague promises, shouting 'Down with Wellington, down with the Tories,' and without giving them guns or cannons, they rushed to die with their bare hands.
To tell the truth, this is not as good as the Crusaders back then, at least after the Crusaders won, they really grabbed a lot of money, and the land and honor of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were also shared up and down.
Tsk, it seems that it is easier to do human fraud than to buy and sell souls. Arthur, I've said it many times, don't mess around with these stupid people. They probably really thought that they would get some benefit after knocking Wellington out of power.
What about Wellington's resignation? Isn't it just a matter of changing the party? Public ownership of property and equal labor is a good thing to say, if human beings really have such selflessness, there will be no heaven and hell.
Not to mention that the property is owned by the public, you go to the street and pick up a beggar, and ask the workers if they are willing to let this stranger live in their house, and ten out of ten are unwilling.
In the end, I, the one who was willing to let beggars live in my house, became the heinous devil in the books.
The one who really does things is the devil, and those who casually talk about the spirit of fraternity have become angels, tsk, this is hypocritical human nature......
Arthur, I advise you not to go down that old path, and although you don't like to read the Bible, I still advise you to learn more about the stories in it.
Why does the image of God in the Bible always rain meteorites, cause fires, and cause floods? Have you ever considered that God really did such a thing?
No, that's just the God they expect, and only disasters can make them learn something good.
So, do you know what the kind man felt when Jesus was crucified by them?
Only when human beings know that it hurts, they know how to cherish it. Jesus was not resurrected or ascended into heaven, and that was just a lie made up by a bunch of shameless people to comfort their poor conscience.
A group of murderers kneeling in repentance and mourning before the body of the human savior is disgusting to think about.
There is a reason why angels are hard to find in the world, and if you are kind for no reason, you will only make them think that you are weak and deceitful. Only when the barrel is pressed against their heads will they kneel down and surrender to you.
Arthur, listen to me, don't go. You just take care of your own jurisdiction, what other people do is their business, even if the army is dispatched in the end, it is these people who ask for it. Isn't this group clamoring not to talk about morality? Why, then, did you save them out of moral considerations? Don't be stupid, Arthur, morality doesn't move people's hearts. ”
However, when Arthur heard this, he only smiled lightly: "Morality is not something to talk about to others, but to oneself." What I do is not to influence anyone, but to make myself feel better. If you think I'm moral, it just means that you're becoming more and more human. Because only in the eyes of human beings, what constitutes the good and evil of the rational social animal is not feelings, but behaviors. ”
With that, Arthur stepped through the shadow of Agareth's body and stepped into the carriage.
"Go to 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence."
When the coachman heard this, he couldn't help but take off his hat, and even his words became cautious: "Sir, what are you doing in that place?" ”
Arthur smiled, "What else can you do?" To meet our Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, of course. ”
The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage moved slowly: "I mean, where are you going?" ”
Arthur took two coins out of his pocket and handed them through the front window of the carriage: "For the duty of the Metropolitan Police of the Greater London Metropolitan Police, to protect the property and life of the public." So for the sake of this property, please hurry up. ”
