Chapter 89 Indiscriminately Killing Innocents
Chapter 89: Killing innocent people indiscriminately
The monk did not eat meat and took a piece of white bread and opened it in his mouth. The prison guard walked over carefully, held the ring and coins in his hands and handed it to the monk. He squeezed out a smile and said:
"Sir, please don't be surprised, that, that"
He couldn't continue to say it. He had always blackmailed the prisoners' money, so he suddenly had to pay it back. He had no experience at all, so how could he say it smoothly?
Huigang felt a little funny in his heart, but he just reached out to take the ring back and replied:
"These foods must have cost you a lot of money, so let's take them as compensation."
At this time, the corridor opposite the prison door suddenly became brighter. Under the illumination of the wind of several soldiers, the bishop and warden who had just left walked in.
After the warden came in, he looked at Huigang up and down, and secretly scolded the soldiers who were arresting people in his heart. The blonde young man in front of him must have a good background. Wouldn't he cause trouble after he caught him?
Still laughing and speaking:
"Mr. Folite, we have found out just now that you have no problem and can leave now."
After saying that, he looked at the monk's face and saw Huigang's face light, and he couldn't help but feel sweat on his forehead and continued:
"Our garrison will definitely investigate the issue thoroughly and give you an answer."
Huigang was not thinking about this. He could feel that although many people left one after another from afternoon to evening, many people continued to stay in prison. After a long time in this world, he also knew that there was no big difference between this world and the darkness of the world in his previous life. Most of these people who could not get out today were wronged.
Thinking of this, the monk asked:
"I don't know when those who came with me will be released. I think most of the people here are innocent."
The warden stammered and couldn't say it. He couldn't tell the outsider in front of him that the rest of the people would be executed. When he was in a dilemma, the bishop next to him took over the words and bowed slightly before he spoke, which was considered etiquette. You must know that the archbishop's envoy is difficult to judge in terms of class, but etiquette cannot be missing.
"Mr. Huigang, I am Anora, the Bishop in charge of the Javier City area. This is not a place to speak. Please come with me."
After meeting the priest who almost sold girls in the Stone Town, the monk's impression of the Church of Light could not be said to be too good. When he learned that Father Philip was originally a member of the Grand Duke's Mansion and was not a special clergyman, his original favorability for the Church of Light disappeared because of the old priest's feelings for the Church of Light.
However, we obviously cannot stay here for too long. We called the girl who was already full and walked out of the prison with the bishop. The warden smiled awkwardly and did not follow.
When he walked outside, there were naturally a bishop's servants coming over in the carriage, but Huigang was a little confused and asked Bishop Anola and said:
"You haven't answered me the question I just now, what will happen to those people?"
Bishop Anora cleared his throat and replied:
"Mr. Huigang, the purpose of our church is to not interfere with local government affairs. We must believe that Governor Duke and General Bati will make a fair deal."
Hearing these scheming words and the bishop was talking about us all the time, the monk was a little impatient. Looking at the bishop's kind and gentle face in front of him, he felt particularly false and said coldly:
"I think you must know what will happen, please tell me."
The voice was a little angry. The bishop who was about to get confused felt that the young man in front of him suddenly seemed to show the majesty of the superior. Although he was much older than the other party, he felt a little scared. He remembered that the other party was the archbishop and did not dare to continue to panic. He lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"The Governor's Office and the garrison have jointly issued an order, and all foreigners who cannot explain their origins will be executed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a trembling heart, and was so scared that he took a few steps back. Huigang was angry. He probably had some estimates that there were about a few hundred people inside that were not released. Will they all be killed? Bishop Anora quickly explained:
"The Maidan City-State Alliance has not been very stable since the previous year. As soon as the matter happened, the garrison decided to kill a warning to the hundred. I just went there to make confessions to these people before their death."
Huigang took a long breath and told himself to calm down. He had discovered that the bishop had been talking about us and was quite respectful to him. He decided to use this to further inquire and ask:
"When did those people get executed?"
The bishop said in his heart that if he hadn't seen you, he would probably have to kill him tonight, but he answered like this:
"As scheduled, it should be executed in three days."
The monk nodded, his spirit returned to peace, and he also had concerns in his heart. At this time, the bishop next to him asked the monk in a low voice:
"I don't know what you're doing this time. Cardinal Hill went to Drew's capital a few days ago. I'm temporarily responsible for the church affairs of Maitan City."
Huigang looked at him coldly without answering. The bishop immediately remembered that Archbishop Reust had always been responsible for various secret affairs in the Church of Light. This time his envoy must have kept it secret, so he dared not ask more questions at the moment.
I returned to the hotel in the bishop's carriage. It was almost dawn. Huigang and the girl felt very tired after tossing for a whole night. Fei'er fell asleep in the carriage. The monk carried the girl out of the carriage and covered the blanket for Fei'er and the little winged lion.
Huigang did not dare to stay away, so he simply sat cross-legged by the door of Fei'er's room, but he could not calm down at all. When he thought of the innocent civilians who were about to be executed, the monk felt like he was burning. Huigang thought of the girl next to him, and he felt a little hesitant. It would be okay for him to be a chivalrous and righteous person. If Fei'er was dragged down at all, he would inexplicably remember that in his previous life, when he was walking in the world, he killed the tax prison of the court because he could not bear to see the hungry people suffer, and ended up causing a big disaster.
Force Shaolin to tie himself to the punishment platform, and then he was thunder and reincarnated in another world. The monk was in a mess. He did not realize that he had already had concerns.
Fei'er got up until the morning. After coming out of Lanqi's Duchy of China, the girl's spirits got better and better, and she didn't need much sleep at all. While the two were having breakfast, the monk heard four people walking towards her room, with neat and powerful steps. Could it be that the soldiers who were yesterday came to arrest people? Hui Gang was just wondering.
The men had already walked to the door and knocked lightly a few times. The monk went over to open the door and saw four soldiers in full armor standing outside the door. These soldiers looked more fierce than the soldiers yesterday, and the armor on their bodies was much more luxurious. Huigang judged according to his limited knowledge that these people should be of the level of guard officers.
The person in the lead stepped forward, clenched his left fist and hit his right chest, then bent down and saluted solemnly, introducing himself:
"Hello, Mr. Huigang, I am the lieutenant of the city-state guards. General Bati invites you and Miss Feier to visit the headquarters. Please come with me."
General Bati and Huigang suddenly reflected that this was the general who issued the death penalty order mentioned by Bishop Anora last night. Perhaps it would be a turning point when meeting the real power figure of the garrison.
He greeted the girl next to him, and the two of them took a break and followed several officers out of the hotel. The Drew Empire garrison had already prepared a carriage, and several officers were guarding each other. Passers-by and people from the hotel around him were surprised to discuss what kind of big man was living in this hotel, and actually let the garrison officers serve as guards.
The core of the Drew Empire's rule over the city-state union of the city-state is in the north of the city of Javier. Here, in addition to the administrative agencies, it is the residence of the Drew officials. Because the city-state union is rich, the offices and residences of these officials are also magnificently repaired.
The only exception is the headquarters of the city-state guards. Here is an almost small military fortress, with large granite stones building high walls, and huge crossbows on the high platform and arrow towers shining with cold light. Deep trenches are dug around. Fully armed soldiers are in awe around, and everything is inferior to the luxurious atmosphere in the city.
Seeing this, the girl Fei'er was a little scared. Although Huigang didn't say anything, she couldn't help but secretly admire the general's good governance.
Several officers respectfully brought Huigang and the girl to the destination. With the guards at the door, the thick wooden door opened and the monk saw the general.
The door was closed behind him, and the monk looked at it. The decoration inside was extremely simple, and even the hotel room they lived in was better than this. Except for a few chairs and a wide wooden table, the rest were armor, weapons and maps. General Bati sat behind the table, never moving, and looked at the monk and the girl up and down.
The general was tall and burly, one head taller than the monk. His face looked like a knife and axe. He had edges and corners, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his aura was sharp. Fei'er was obviously afraid of the other party's gaze and hid behind the monk.
