Chapter 265: The aftermath of the war

(PS: I bowed down and thanked the book friends "Lao Sun Little Rookie", "Young Don't Sigh", "Because of Tianxuan" and "jht121" for their rewards.) )

Throwing a pebble into a large lake will cause some ripples, but it will eventually subside. If you lift a boulder and smash it into it, it will cause a ripple and it will take some time to calm down......

If you take what happened in Shanxi City as an analogy, it is an adult dragon who is tired of flying, and plunges into the big lake and twists his body at will, which is a monstrous wave. And that's not all, after the dragon frolicked for a while, he found that the environment was good, so he simply decided to settle down......

The city is full of wind and rain, and the impact will not stop!

It's been a few days since the rain stopped. However, the sky above Shanxi City still seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloomy and gloomy clouds, and the people who traveled occasionally looked at each other, and they could always find a familiar look of panic on each other's faces.

The statue of the goddess of Shanxi has been erected in the city for hundreds of years, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the people of this city, whether they are nobles or commoners, they all grew up watching the statue of the goddess.

They never thought that one day the goddess would fall, and it was so decisive that even piecing together was delusional.

Therefore, whether it is subjective or observant, it cannot prevent a theory from circulating in the city, that is, the goddess of the mountain stream is angry and will no longer protect the city.

This sounded very reliable, and people became even more panicked......

Compared to the ordinary people of Mountain Creek City, the believers of those Light Temple were even more angry and sad.

Don't forget that this mountain stream goddess still has a layer of identity, that is, the first generation of saints of the Temple of Light. Now the statue has collapsed, it is no exaggeration. The pillars of faith in the hearts of the believers also collapsed in an instant.

The faith of the believers is faithful and fanatical. Not to mention the group of fanatical believers. So I don't know when. I don't know which believer made the act first, but in any case, someone committed a blatant suicide in front of the ruins of the statue.

The action quickly set off a chain reaction, first with a few people, then with a dozen...... And follow this move.

There are many reasons for this, some say that they left with the saint, some say that they wanted to appease the anger of the goddess, and so on. Fortunately, the official response of Mountain Creek City was very quick this time, before the situation escalated. Brigade of cavalry garrisons arrived and barricaded the intersections to prevent everyone from entering and leaving the city square.

Later, the bishop of the church in the city also quickly stood up and vigorously promoted the doctrine of the Temple of Light, that is, true believers are not allowed to commit suicide. With such a two-pronged approach, it was not easy to cover this wave of suicide.

At the same time, the follow-up to this disaster is constantly being followed. First of all, there were many passers-by present at the time, who were convinced that the statue of the goddess had been vandalized. In this way, it is very important to catch these two people.

In such a state of affairs. Once again, the officials of Mountain Creek City have shown a rare high efficiency. In the afternoon, sketches and portraits were posted all over the city. And just in case, they were also sent to neighboring cities one after another, asking for the culprit.

In front of everyone's eyes, the faces of the two murderers were meticulously restored. One is a middle-aged man with an indifferent face, and the other is a charming and charming beautiful woman.

However, it is a pity that many people with similar faces were arrested because of this, but they were quickly eliminated. A few days passed, and the real culprit was still nowhere to be found.

In fact, if they had been following this diagram, it would have been impossible for them to have results. The middle-aged man is just the image of Don in disguise, as long as he takes off the props, who can imagine this public face, the harmless young man of humans and animals? As for Eunice, it is even more nonsense, maybe they can determine Eunice's identity and name, but it is undoubtedly delusional to find someone. You must know that she has put on the most beautiful dress, and then she has been directly melted away by the dark mist that bursts out of her own zuihou...... How can you find this? You can't let the God of Light say hello to the devil and bring people up......

Probably seeing that this matter has not worked for a long time, the official of Shanxi City has made another move, that is, to let the scapegoat-the garrison appear to divert the attention of the masses.

In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a scapegoat. Because the Security Department does have an unshirkable responsibility, and it is also the will of the people to try them.

First of all, there were the dozen or so cavalrymen who were on guard at the time and were still alive in the end. Needless to say, the charges of ineffective guards, greed for life and fear of death were directly deducted. Then the formal city court went around and was put on death row, waiting to be sent to the gallows in public on Sunday.

Then there were the two top officers of the Agency, Demps, the head of the garrison, and the chief of the cavalry, who were accused of lax supervision and failure to arrive at the scene in time for the incident. However, they had reason to argue that fifteen bounty hunter corpses were to be laid out.

If there were more than a dozen corpses in normal times, Demps and the cavalry commander would have to show off and be rewarded and honored. But now, in order to suppress the anger of the citizens, the cavalry chief has been dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and if nothing else, he will have to spend the rest of his life in some unknown noble mine.

As for Temples, dismissal is a must. He also knew that he was killed by Tang En, and what credit he gave himself was just to transfer himself and most of the garrison cavalry. However, he naturally didn't dare to say this, and he insisted that he was aware of the arrival of the bounty hunter, and for the sake of the safety of the city, he mobilized cavalry to encircle and suppress it. Fortunately, he had a very good relationship with the nobles in the city, and he jumped around and pulled up a layer of protection net in time. As a result, Zuihou was to stay in prison for a year or two as punishment for dereliction of duty. This is undoubtedly much better than those cavalrymen who went to the gallows and the cavalry commanders who have been coolies all their lives.

Such a quick and chaotic trial made the nobles and commoners in Shanxi City vent their anger a little, and also made the big people who were secretly operating slowly relieved. If it's just ordinary citizens protesting, they won't care, but this matter involves the Temple of Light, so they can't be neglected.

Zheng Huan, who was judged by the court in the city here, and the Temple of Light over there made a coping strategy very cooperatively.

First of all, the Temple of Light will rebuild the statue of the goddess with donations from the faithful, and promise to invite the great figures of the Holy City to come and pray for blessings.

Although no matter how new this statue is, it will not be the same as before, but through these things, it can indeed give everyone a little sustenance in their hearts.

Secondly, as for those two bold guys, the bishop promised that the Holy City of the Temple of Light would send a special team to track down the real culprit.

No one doubted the strength of the Temple of Light, and now that they had spoken, the people were waiting for the day when those two damn guys were caught.

The official crisis public relations of Shanxi City is still relatively good, and all actions appear to be orderly. Of course, the impact of this event is far from ending here, and it can even be said that it will never be completely completed within a few generations.

At this time, Tang En, who had thousands of curses in one, had just opened his eyes and woke up dimly...... (To be continued......)
