Chapter 978: Crows in the world are as black

The old mayor came to Archbishop Sandos with a thick stack of paper. 
He gasped for breath, his head was full of sweat, and he didn't even care to wipe it, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Master General, all are here."
Sandos glanced at him: This old guy actually knew to call himself "Master General. Just aiming at this point was enough to make the archbishop's heart look happy.
But then, he lowered his head and looked at the stack of newspapers more than three inches thick in the arms of the old mayor. Archbishop Santos was shocked. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold "hiss" and secretly said in his heart. : This..., this is too much~!
It seems that the enemy is not at all hesitating to make a public opinion attack~!
Archbishop Santos is not a nobleman who has not touched the sun with five fingers, and has been aloof since he was a child. He can only say silly things like why not eat meat.
On the contrary, although he was born in a noble family, Archbishop Sandos has rich experience in grassroots work.
All data related to the lives of the people, such as prices, residents' living indexes, average happiness indexes, consumption indexes, etc., are all well understood.
This is a necessary job as an intermediate and high-level priest of the Holy See~!
Because as an archbishop, when you take the little brothers to the countryside to collect the sacred and inviolable eleven tax granted to the church by the God of Light, you must know clearly how much an egg costs, the old hen How much is one, how much is a catty of barley, how much is a catty of wheat, how much flour can a catty of wheat grind, how much can a strong laborer earn every day, etc.
As long as you understand these things first, you can fight with ordinary people, small-level bureaucrats, and clerks, and don't let yourself be fooled by these people.
Those dead ordinary people are not good birds, they can really dare to slap their own black bricks if they collect more.
And if the collection is less, or the account is wrong, Archbishop Santos himself is responsible.
Even pay for the shortfall.
Although in the early stage, he did not eat less of the loss in this respect, and was cheated many times by the dead people, but in the past ten years, he has become much smarter. Basically, no one can fool him anymore.
Basically, you can know the approximate price of something with a glance. Collecting taxes is not unfavorable. Every time it happens to step on the psychological bottom line of those people. Not only can they charge a little more, but they don't scream in pain.
Therefore, looking at the stack of papers, the archbishop felt his heart sink.
He clearly knows that paper is a luxury item among all things. Even the most inferior papyri cannot be consumed by ordinary farmers. Better quality paper will only appear in noble houses.
As for the most exquisite parchment, it is only used by the Holy See to copy the "Divine Canon".
Naturally, books, this kind of things that carry knowledge, are rare things that only the rich can own, and the common people have no use, and most of them can't read.
The guy who can write his name is one of the few intellectuals in Shili Baxiang.
And if you can have a wipe paper at home, that's even more remarkable. Basically, he has stepped into the ranks of senior intellectuals and is very respected.
The quality of those papers is much better than that of wipes. The smooth and clean paper has a large width and is absolutely expensive.
As long as Archbishop Santos glanced at it, he had estimated that the value of this thick pile of paper was almost two or three gold coins.
The old mayor saw the general in front of him, and found that he was staring at the paper in his arms dignifiedly, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. I know: It might be a big disaster right now~!
He bent over, peering carefully into the face of Archbishop Sandos, and said anxiously: "A great man clearly. This is all given to me by others, not by me. I, I posted here. Zhang's rest is here.
I think this paper is good, so...so I want to give it to my grandson to practice calligraphy."
Archbishop Santos snorted coldly and said, "Someone gave it to you? You dare to post it if someone else gave it to you? You're courageous, don't you know what it says?
, if someone gave you a knife, would you dare to assassinate the queen?
Do you know that this is a big crime of treason, but it will destroy the nine races. "
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and scanned the people behind maliciously.
There was a sudden uproar among the people.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, it is impossible to contact the outside world for many years. Therefore, to live in a small town for so many years, basically all of them are touched by relatives.
Like Brother Xiaoxi, he said it was the baby born to his father and niece. At first, Xiaoxi also liked his niece. The taste is heavy.
But for them, this is not a very ethical thing.
The people are the same. At the beginning, they were disgusted with the bishop who was not like the bishop and the general was not like the general. The basic understanding was that this was another dead pig who invaded our country.
But at this time, everyone was a little scared when he heard that this dead pig actually threatened to "punish the nine tribes".
Looking at the dazzling swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the old and the army around them, they dare not say anything, but isn't there the old mayor next to him?
They immediately complained loudly to the old town mayor. They thought that the old guy was not a thing, but they didn't expect that he was such a thing. What are you doing with someone else's newspaper? It's not that Sandos listened to the accusations made by everyone, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
He waved his hand, motioned everyone to shut their mouths, and then looked at the mayor and cursed: "You old bastard~! Originally, I was going to use a knife, but I am in a good mood today. Give you one last time. opportunity.
Say, who gave it to you? Why post it? "
"Say~!" The shì guards beside the archbishop immediately showed their dazzling swords. The sharp point of the sword pointed at the old man and shouted in unison.
In this kind of frightening formation, they used to play too much when they went to the countryside, and they knew how to cooperate without rehearsing.
Seeing the bright sharp blade dangling in front of my eyes, as if it would penetrate my body in the next moment and pierce myself to a chill, the old mayor softened in terror, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, even in his arms. The big-character posters scattered all over the floor with a bang.
He knelt on the ground and cried out in horror, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I said, I said all..."
Seeing his pale face, Archbishop Santos couldn't help but smile.
The scene in front of him suddenly made him feel like he was back to his hometown. He felt a lot less pressure and depression due to successive defeats, even though the archbishop himself didn't have much sense of accomplishment when he bullied these rural rich men.
Archbishop Sandos glanced at him in disgust, and said, "Pull him up."
Several wolves like tigers grabbed the old mayor's clothes and picked him up.
Archbishop Santos walked back and forth in front of the old mayor with his hands on his back, and said, "Let's talk."
The old mayor looked at the long sword draped around his neck, and the cold blade was attached to his neck, making him stand up in fright.
The old mayor said with a crying voice: "A few days ago we came to a passing trader in our town..."
Archbishop Sandos interrupted him and said sharply: "A few days ago?"
"Son, three...no, four days~!
Four days ago, he gave me ten gold coins and told me to post these notices. 1 The villain dare not deceive the general, it is really given by others. 1 The villain, I got my heart out for a while, so I posted this thing. "
Archbishop Sandos secretly said in his heart: Give ten gold coins for a leaflet, and Hardu is quite a ghost. Counting the paper money, the labor costs, and the money given to the locals, even if the entire Almohad is posted, Hardu will not be 1 million, but the impact is indeed 10 to 20 million. Can't buy it.
The Holy See actually shed 10 to 20 million in publicity expenses every year, but the effect is far worse than the advertisements put by the Flying Eagle Group.
Archbishop Sandos secretly praised, this guy is really a famous player~!
Glancing at the old mayor who was almost urinating in fright, Archbishop Sandos chuckled and said leisurely: "As the mayor, do you know that this is a very serious crime~!
If you find enemy agents, you do not organize arrests, and you do not report to the government. This is an oversight and malfeasance.
Actually accepting bribes from enemy agents, publicly propagating against the old and the army, against the queen, against the reactionary theory of the imperial government, do you know what this is? "
The old town mayor heard a big hat buttoned down, and his face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless with his open mouth "Ahhhhh".
Archbishop Sandos smiled and looked at the mayor sternly: "This is the charge of treason and treason. I really don't know how the crime of treason is punished?
The main criminal will be pumped to record his skin, and beheaded after a day of public display in the [Guangzhou] field. The convict beheaded to show the public, and the prisoner’s family was punished into hard labor and exiled to the border until his death. ,,
The old town mayor fell to the ground, howling and crying, crying as he said: "1 The villain is only greedy for a while. I really don’t know that it is a crime. Before, they used to talk bad about the emperor. Confused... Lord, spare your life, spare your life..."
The tears gathered, and the crying was really miserable. The townspeople next to him couldn't bear to watch, and they all bowed their heads. They thought that the mayor, the old bald donkey grandson, would not survive this time.
Others in the peacekeeping force may feel pity, even if they are changed to Lorraine, they don’t take this seriously.
You know, Sir Alex Ferguson is not rarely called "Tian Gao San Chi" Luo Pa Pi" 1 little white face,...and so on, but Sir Alex Ferguson is generous, and he just smiles at this, knowing that the gang of puppies are just jealous and hateful , Do not care about it.
But it was Archbishop Santos, who was born in the Holy See, who discovered this. His keen political intuition immediately realized the influence behind it, and the tearful cry of the old town mayor made it difficult to impress Archbishop Santos.
In the eyes of Archbishop Santos, begging for mercy now, dare you say that you didn't expect it when collecting money?
You just want to take advantage and don't want to suffer. Do you think you are a priest?
However, Archbishop Sandos does not intend to punish this old guy. He is propagating anti-Almohad imperial government. He is not a member of the Almohad imperial government, so he is not guilty of being Almohad. People do this leisurely.
Like this kind of newspapers brushed on the wall, cursing the emperor, cursing the government, cursing the church, cursing someone who is an official, cursing a lover, or cursing a junior, the archbishop himself has seen too much.
If it weren't for the fact that this newspaper is an anti-peacekeeping force, it may have a very bad impact on their future operations, and Archbishop Santos would not care about it.
If you want to set it aside at other times, maybe the archbishop will still watch the excitement with relish, and praise the writer who wrote this piece of essay is good. If you go to write a knight novel, you might have made money.
My hands are itchy, I will follow a post below, write a top, and even learn from the legend of the reader, give a monthly ticket...recommended ticket or something.
Seeing that it was enough to scare this old guy, Archbishop Sandos personally pulled him up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said: "We can't beat people to death with a stick. The role of the law is to punish and save you. Say yes?"
The old mayor nodded blankly, he was already frightened.
Archbishop Santos said: "I will treat you as if you are confused for a while, and give you a chance to commit crimes."
The old mayor's eyes lit up, and he tightly grasped the hand of Archbishop Sandos, and said eagerly: "My lord, you say that one villain will do it."
Archbishop Santos said: "Go ahead and bring the trader who gave you the notice to get me back. If you bring him back, I will intercede with you from the government and let them save you from your sin.
If you can't catch it back... you know the consequences. "
The old man was like a drowning man. He finally grabbed a life-saving straw and said without thinking: "Yes, my lord, the little man must catch him back. He went to the town to the west and walked straight west. , I can definitely catch him, please believe me."
Archbishop Sandos gave an "um", and then pointed to a close follower next to him, and said, "Joseph, take a squadron and follow this old man to arrest people."
"Yes, sir." The officer agreed loudly.
The old mayor couldn't wait for a moment for his own little life, and said, "It should not be too late. The villain and the army men will set off."
"Okay" Archbishop Santos nodded, and then told his men: "Joseph, you'd better wear casual clothes. It's best for you to catch alive. If you can't, you can die. The safety of your brothers is the top priority. One."
"Yes" the officer nodded and said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, brothers who do this kind of work are all veterans."
Archbishop Sandos smiled, and then he remembered the group of papal patrons, but they were all masters of stealing chickens and dogs.
The archbishop put away the notice on the ground, and turned to Saibo and other officers and said: "Go, go to the nearest telegraph station." A large group of knights set off overnight and galloped towards the nearby city against the dim moon.
The telegraph network of the peacekeeping force is based on cities, important passes, strategic locations, etc., and radiates the entire region. Basically, there are legions under the peacekeeping force. The news can be sent back to the headquarters on the same day, and then the next day. Early in the morning, the corps commander can receive the order to return from the headquarters.
Archbishop Sandos personally half-handed and ran towards the nearby town overnight. At this time, the city had been closed and locked for safety, but after identifying his identity, the defenders quickly opened the door.
The archbishop and his party went straight to the telegraph station located in the military camp in the city.
Even though it was late at night, the room where the line was erected was still brightly lit.
When Archbishop Sandos entered the room, several officers from different legions were sitting on the benches and dozing off.
Several telegraphers were huddled together and were busy, and soon stood up alone, holding a document in his hand, and said loudly: "Seventeenth Army, military order.
Seventeenth Army~! "
The officers on the bench were stunned, and then one person rubbed their eyes and jumped up, saying, "Here!"
The telegrapher stuffed him the document and said, "Military orders."
The officer of the Seventeenth Army hurriedly took it and said with a smile, "Thank you brother."
Then quietly handed two gold coins over, the telegrapher sailor pinched it, and skillfully stuffed it into his pocket.
Although the movements were not obvious, they could not hide from the eyes of Archbishop Santos.
Archbishop Sandos pulled the officer behind him and asked lowly: "How can I collect a telegram and stuff money?"
"Thanks for your hard work." The officer gave a wry smile and said, "My lord, don't you know that this telegraph room is a bunch of uncles who have very good tempers. The first paragraph was fine, but later I didn't know that grandson wanted to preemptively send the report. , Secretly stuffed them with money.
Slowly, everyone has to stuff money, otherwise they will put our military report at the end.
This is fairly minor, you think, my lord, this military order is like a mountain. If we don't respect it, the uncles in the telegraph room made a mistake or two. The headquarter will investigate it. It is not our bad luck.
I'm not afraid of 10,000, but if it doesn't, I can only take care of these uncles first. "
Speaking of this, the officer under him also grinned and shook his head helplessly.
"Oh" Archbishop Santos curled his lips, shook his head, and said to himself: It seems that the world is as dark as crows.
The telegraph operator in the room heard the archbishop and his two people whispering, frowning, and nodded with their chin, and said impatiently: "What do you two do? The telegraph room must not be noisy~www.mtlnovel. com~The telegrapher turned his head and muttered, "No quality at all"
The face of Archbishop Santos turned black immediately. The archbishop was a big person with a face. Even if he met his superiors, he received a polite reception. He had never been so despised, and he was still a little person without a title.
Even if the archbishop made a mistake, the dog's head squirting blood scolded by the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine was not treated with contempt as a blind stream.
Archbishop Sandos glared at him, and yelled, "How do you talk about it?"
"Hi!" The telegraph operator was shocked, showing the domineering domineering characteristic of the employees of the monopoly communications company, glanced at him squintly, and said: "How do you say it?"
