Chapter 429: Perfect Closing (VI)
Although the general direction of public opinion is consistent, the power of the church should not be underestimated.
Some public intellectuals and big Vs keep shouting online that the church is sacred and cannot do dirty things, and someone must have deliberately framed it.
We should analyze ourselves and first recognize our own shortcomings and mistakes, rather than randomly accusing the church and clergy.
There are even some more extreme public intellectuals who say that we should not try to anger the church. This is a very dangerous behavior. We must learn to accept and tolerate it.
The church teaches people to be kind, to respect their parents, and to love relatives and friends. How could it do bad things?
There are also some people who even say that Jiang Mingyang is the culprit and threaten to make Jiang Mingyang confess his guilt and apologize to the archbishop, eunuchs and the church.
Some radical remarks believe that Jiang Mingyang should be executed. He is the beginning of all the troubles.
If he goes to war with the church because of him, then he will be the eternal sinner of China, and China's 1.4 billion people will have to pay for his mistakes.
No matter what is said online, no matter how public opinion is guided, illusions can never cover up the truth.
The three cardinals gathered in the imperial capital and participated in the investigation and interrogation throughout the process. Even if Han Feng was very smart, he could not successfully investigate under their intervention.
"True gold is not afraid of fire. If you have a clear conscience, then we will broadcast the whole process live.
Anyway, we have a clear conscience and are determined to dig out the termites hiding in the back.
No matter how many officials' crimes are dug out, we will admit it. I think you all think so too."
Han Feng's words were very grand, and he did not argue with a few people. He directly broadcast the interrogation process online.
These clergy have been dominating the imperial capital for more than ten years. Few of them are clean, and none of them can be settled.
For this day, Han Feng sent people to set a trap for them a long time ago, and they couldn't be clean even if they wanted to.
The witnesses, material evidence, and evidence of guilt were conclusive, and the interrogation process was broadcast live. Even if the three cardinals wanted to commit favoritism and fraud, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Shocking cases, chilling statistics, and infuriating charges.
Not only did it stimulate the anger of the citizens, it also constantly provoked the anger of the three bishops.
They sent people to garrison China in order to nibble away at China bit by bit, not to let them cheat for personal gain.
They never dreamed that the seemingly pious and honest believers would do so many shameful things.
Whether it was interrogation or framing, it was not the purpose, but to increase the bargaining chips for negotiations.
Han Feng's purpose was very clear. He not only wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the influence of the church, but also to win more benefits for China.
The interrogation lasted only a few days, and the three bishops asked to stop the live broadcast with a dark face.
Han Feng also readily agreed that what the people wanted was not justice, but China's external strength and victory.
Han Feng had appeased the people by doing this, and even if the live broadcast was terminated, it would not have any impact on public opinion.
The period that followed was a long period of wrangling negotiations and a struggle for interests.
Han Feng's demands were very clear. First, the church should withdraw from China.
Second, open the transmission restrictions of the Abyss.
Third, open the formulas of all elixirs and the methods of making psychic weapons.
Fourth, abolish the Abyss Tax for Chinese warriors.
Han Feng's lion-like mouth not only made the three bishops angry, but also almost scared Qingshui to death.
Every request of Han Feng had a fatal impact on the church, and the church could never agree to it.
But Han Feng was firm in his attitude. If he disagreed, he would continue to live broadcast to let people all over the world see what kind of morality the clergy is.
Han Feng did not have the image of a big man at all. Instead, he was more like a rogue who roamed the market and blackmailed everywhere.
Now that the church has a handle in his hand and has set off such a big wave of public opinion, he would be sorry for not blackmailing him.
Then there was a long wrangling. After various bargaining, the conditions also changed, but generally there was no big change.
First, the church will not withdraw from China, but will reduce the size of the church, strictly educate the clergy, and abolish the inspector system.
The whole country will investigate the inspectors, and each inspector is almost full of evil. No matter how thick-skinned the church is, it is embarrassed to force the inspector system.
But for China Wuda, the tight ring on its head will be removed, and there will be a big explosion of talents.
Second, the church will never open the transmission restrictions of the abyss, but will give China a wider range of authority.
As for how wide it is, it will take more wrangling.
Third, the church can disclose the formula of some special elixirs, but will never disclose the production method of spiritual weapons.
The production method of spiritual weapons is equivalent to the production method of atomic bombs, and the church will never open it.
Fourth, it is impossible to abolish the abyss tax, but it can reduce the proportion of the abyss tax of Chinese warriors.
How much the abyss tax can be reduced requires endless wrangling.
The corresponding three bishops also put forward four requirements.
First, absolutely no live broadcast is allowed, all evidence of crimes is sealed in secret, and it is not allowed to be disclosed to anyone.
Second, share all the information about Thorn City, the church must know every detail.
Third, explore the light curtain area together, and the church must occupy half of the quota.
Fourth, the clergy above the priest level are the most holy believers, and they will never be infected by evil.
The eunuchs are corrupted by evil, and insulting heroes is his personal behavior.
The first three items all involve interests, which is also the reason why Han Feng dares to ask for a sky-high price.
The artificially created light curtain area definitely contains a big secret, and the church will not miss it.
Especially the force that created the light curtain area, the church must investigate it clearly.
If an unknown force can do something that the church cannot do, it is a provocation to the church's rule.
The church will never allow him to exist.
Combining the above reasons, Han Feng asked for a high price and paid it back, and finally got a gratifying harvest.
As for the last request of the church, it was blatant shamelessness.
The so-called Article 4, translated into human language is.
No matter what mistakes the clergy above the priest made, you can not only not execute them, but you don't even have the right to interrogate them.
I am better than you, you can't touch my people.
Even if they have made a big mistake, they are still clergy of my church, and you are not qualified to investigate and interrogate them.
This is blatant shamelessness and unreasonable pressure, but Han Feng had to accept it.
Although Han Feng was angry about this, he didn't refute it too much.
Being in a weak position, they have no energy to care about justice and face, and can only endure humiliation and work hard.
The weak are not qualified to pursue dignity!
Three days have passed, and the two sides have settled the general framework, and then there will be endless wrangling and disputes.
The three cardinals were too lazy to pay attention to it, and threw the remaining problems to the archbishop, asking him to make meritorious contributions.
Han Feng was too lazy to intervene, and threw all the problems to his subordinates.
He has been thinking about what reason to go to the Tiangong Research Institute to get close to Li Meiyue.
The instigator of all this, Jiang Mingyang, who has been in a coma for three days, slowly opened his eyes...
