Chapter 1071
2014-12-21
The authorities are fans, and bystanders are clear. —Savian who, what character, Tang En knows all too well. As for those Puritans who rebelled with Savian, cultivator of painstaking cultivation, etc., although Tang En had never been in contact with them, they could be recognized by Savian, and then mixed into this miserable appearance in the temple. The general nature of Tang En can also be guessed.
The most important thing is that the two Knights who saw the guard heard the chaos in the hall, but they didn't go in and play the vanguard. When the two Puritans were facing the little nun fluttering with sticks, they also chose not to know whether to cry or laugh to explain at the first time, instead of turning their faces into trouble. Tang En can also confirm that the other party came this time, there should be no malicious intentions, at least not for the time being.
In other words, the little nun's daring performance was considered blind.
Sure enough, what happened next quickly confirmed Tang En's conjecture...
"Father Mason, I'm taking the liberty to interrupt, we're here to ask a few questions. Well, maybe from our current position, we don't have the right to ask these questions. But starting from the devout beliefs of thousands of believers in this area, please answer truthfully."
"Uh, no problem, ask."
"Okay, how much money does the church receive from believers every month?"
"This is...about five gold coins. If you include free food and other items, The value is about ten gold coins."
"The approximate whereabouts of these donations..."
"Why, what do you mean? We suspect that we are stealing the donations!"
"Just asking, Xin... er, Sister Siying, don't misunderstand."
"Misunderstanding? hmph! What should I do if I eat it all by myself."
"Uh, and me. I've eaten a lot this month too..."
"Cindy, don't be silly!" After a while. Ignore the sensitive little nun's constant correction of Siying and Siying's complaints. answered patiently. "It's like this. There are many orphans whose parents died at sea in the fishing village at the foot of the mountain. Most of these donations are used to buy food, winter cotton coats, etc. for them."
"Is there an account?"
"Of course, the account book is in the back wooden cabinet. It's public. I'll show it to you..."
...
After several questions and answers, these two Protestant Puritans who turned up without being invited were not like bad guests, but great characters of the temple who came to inspect. It seems to find fault with every sentence, but it is actually humble and gentle. That is, the general inquiry attitude.
Except for the preconceived little nun who was still full of resentment, the client, Father Mason, calmed down quickly. Although he didn't understand the other party's intentions, these things seemed to him to have nothing to hide, so he didn't. Consider giving it directly.
Tang En sat next to the little nun and listened for a while, and probably understood the purpose of these two Protestant Puritans. If not mistaken, the latter asked these questions in order to investigate Father Mason's conduct... Regarding this, Tang En can guarantee that there is no problem. Because, he has already secretly investigated...
All right. In view of the previous bad impression, Tang En really lacks goodwill towards the temple Cleric. Even if the identity of the other party is a life saving benefactor. He also had the idea of exposing hypocrisy, and also to make sure that this silly little nun would not be harmed in the future. After Tang En was able to act normally, he immediately started a detailed and comprehensive investigation of Father Mason.
As a result, I have to say that when the forest is big, there are indeed all kinds of birds, there are thieves and good birds. Right now, this old man who doesn't care about world affairs and has been guarding this dilapidated chapel for half his life is an uncompromising good bird.
Even if the investigation was fruitless, Tang En, entrapment, pretended to inadvertently reveal that he had a huge sum of money hidden on his body. The old man didn't even see that he was unable to move even a little bit, so he had the intention of making money and harming others. On the contrary, he reminded him to pay attention to confidentiality, and sincerely, he also talked about the big truth of not revealing wealth. It is also rare to be secretly ashamed to let Tang En, who has never been disciplined,...
Such a wonderful thing, of course, it is impossible to embezzle money for charity. Sure enough, after carefully flipping through the ledger, the two Puritans looked at each other, shook their heads lightly, and put down the ledger in their hands... In such a short time, of course, no conclusion could be drawn. Obviously, they had already secretly investigated Father Mason when they came, and now they are just verifying it again.
"After reading it, did we steal the donations?" The little nun stared fiercely, and the little nun was indifferent, "If not, the gate is behind, should you leave? "
Of course the two Puritans didn't lower oneself to somebody's level with a little nun, they just looked a little embarrassed: "cough cough, it seems that Sister Siying has a deep prejudice against us."
"How dare I, it is rumored that you will kill people..."
"Cindy!" Father Mason hurriedly interrupted the little nun's sarcasm and muttered, secretly smiling bitterly. Isn't it a reminder to irritate the other party? He smiled dryly at the two Puritans with a stiff expression, "I'm sorry, she didn't mean to talk nonsense, hehe..."
"Hehe, it's not all nonsense." The middle-aged Puritan glanced and listened bored. Tang En, who was wearing it, still couldn't see the depth. He looked away calmly, said with a smile, "The Protestant start-up has a really bad reputation outside. There are rumors that there are true and malicious slanders. It's the murder that Sister Siying said just now. It's true, but here we are. I prefer to call it a trial."
After a pause, he continued, "Everyone used to be Cleric, so I won't hide some situations. Now the temple has rotted into the bones, not just Lord Federation. We are greedy, and the following branch of sect Hall Masters are more greedy. The more remote and unremarkable places are, the more shady it is to see. Do you believe it? Just like in small churches like you, we have found baskets Gold coins have also rescued countless young women imprisoned in the basement, all black, no daylight, some of them are nuns, some are believers..."
"How, how is it possible?!" , Father Mason was horrified and unbelievable. The little nun was even more dumbfounded when she heard the words, she opened her mouth slightly, and looked dumbfounded.
Tang En twitched his lips on the side, totally not surprised. Why is it impossible, these two people are non-mainstream, okay...
We spread our hands and said, "Before we really found out, we also thought it was impossible. Some people even have a good reputation in the neighboring villages and are kind-hearted. Why? I don't want to be a villain who bullies men and women, but it's the truth... If you want to see, we have a lot of case evidence. Or you can go north for yourself. Listen to what the believers over there have to say." Shake his head lightly. The middle-aged puritan smiled and looked towards the dumb nun. Asked, "Such assholes, do you think it should be killed?"
"I, I, I..." After stammering for a while, the little nun who was severely impacted subconsciously shrank to Tang En's arms, the kitten The same, completely lost the previous female tiger demeanor.
She is lucky, because she has never encountered such an ugly situation with the strange-looking Father Mason. She is also unfortunate. Because it was so well protected, when I first touched such a shady scene, I was very excited!
Patted the little nun's shoulder, Tang En calmly raised his head and looked towards the middle-aged puritan: "What should be killed or not, it has already been killed. Now the question is, how are you going to treat Father Mason, treat This little church?"
The two Puritans were stunned when they heard the words, and looked towards Tang En again, especially when they paused on the latter's ordinary face, which was as calm as water and did not see any waves, and frowned warily: "I was neglected just now. Your Excellency doesn't seem to be from here..." With Tang En's realm strength, even if injured. The two Puritans also impossible to see the slightest clue from him. But the key is that Tang En is too calm and collected now, just sitting quietly, that is, an iceberg that no one should enter, will know when you see it and don't provoke it.
He interrupted by waving his hand, "Let's talk about handling opinions first, identity doesn't matter." It really doesn't matter. If Tang En is satisfied with the result, then everything will be fine. If not satisfied, then Tang En doesn't mind clearing the door for Savian!
paused, after the two Puritans exchanged glances, they nodded slightly, looked towards the stunned Maisen, and said, "I've heard of Father Maisen's character when we came here, and I admire him very much. Now there are two choices. One is to hope that Father Mason will consider joining our Protestant Church and revive the pure faith of God the Father..."
"Just considering?"
"Of course. Father Mason, who leads by example and truly preaches the Gospel of the Father, is actually on the same path as us. We will only respect, not force. He can stay in the temple and not join us. Of course, we Protestants The door is always open for them...this is also the second choice."
"Okay." Tang En was satisfied with the nodded and stood up, "Let Father Mason think about it, this The choice is not something that can be decided in a short time. Can you two take a step to talk?"
"Of course." After a moment of surprise, the two Puritans took a deep look at Tang En and stood up, "We Waiting outside."
Watching their backs disappear at the gate, Tang En lowered his head and stroked the little nun's hair: "Cindy, thank you for your life-saving grace, there are still so many days left. Take care. But...well, it's time for me to leave."
"Ah?" The little nun, who was hit again, was even more dumbfounded and raised her head blankly, "Leave? Where are you going, Arthur? "
"Go home."
"Oh." The little nun lowered her head, stared at her toes, and whispered, "Can't you stay a few more days?" ... your injury is not healed yet..."
"It's okay, I have to leave..."
In fact, Tang En should have left a few days ago. However, during the days of recuperation, Tang En really liked the seemingly boring, but in fact, bland seaside life here, and he also liked this little girl who was always nagging endlessly. It's selfishness. After anticipating that the Protestant people would come, Tang En found a reason for himself to repay his gratitude, and stayed here for a few more days... Now the Protestant people have indeed come, and the attitude is not bad, the result is Tang En En was also very satisfied and had to leave.
"You know what? You changed my impression of the temple and Cleric, well, it's amazing. Also, I still think Cindy's name sounds better, or you won't change..."
"Siying! My name is Siying!" Shaking her head to avoid Tang En's stroking, the little nun turned her back and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go, you don't like to listen to me anyway. It's no big deal to talk and leave. Hmph..."
Tang En shook his head and laughed, he didn't mind, because he clearly heard the faint sound of tears falling on the ground...waving his hand : "Then I'll go first... Father Mason, thank you for healing me for so long. Well, I know something about Protestantism, they shouldn't lie to you, think about it."
Fall, bow, salute. Once again, she glanced at the little nun whose shoulders were trembling slightly, her mouth slightly raised, and she turned and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, two Puritans and two light-armored Knights were waiting not far away. There should have been speculations and discussions, and their expressions were a little wary.
"Your Excellency..."
"Leave this to Savian." Tang En lost interest in speaking now, and threw out a folded page of paper, hissing through the air. , instantly fell into the hands of middle-aged Puritans. This simple act alone is enough to make the latter's expression change drastically, "It's just a gift from an old friend. Also, if Father Mason and the little nun disagree with this small church, no one is allowed to move! This is me You said it!"
When the words were over, I ignored the few people who opened their mouths, and simply stepped down the stairs, and was disappeared in an instant.
Tang En rushed to the mountainside in one breath, until the pain in his chest was faint, and Tang En sighed and slowed down. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "hehe, you can't completely see the sadness and parting. It seems that I'm really not an Assassin material..."
This is of course a joke, as long as A human being, who is not afraid of the pain of parting? Even if it's just a faint sad separation after a brief strangers coming together by chance...
However, before Tang En could sigh with emotion, suddenly, a high-pitched scream came down from the mountain, familiar and as always Sharp,
"bastard! You lied to me - you said Siying was good, and now you say Cindy is good - liar! But I have a lot of adults, forgive you! My name is Cindy Don't change it - also, remember to come back to see me and bring something delicious. Otherwise - or I will curse you in front of God the Father! haha -" The voice echoed back to the top of the mountain, as if in my ear,
"Ha, got it, Cindy...flat little girl..."
