Chapter 265 Aftermath of the war

(PS: Bow to thank the book friends "Old Sun's Rookie", "Young man, don't sigh", "Because of Tianxuan", "jht121" for their rewards.)

Throwing a stone into the lake will cause some ripples, but it will eventually calm down. If you lift a huge rock into it, it will cause waves and it will take some time to calm down...

If you use what happened in Shanxi City as an analogy, it would be that an adult dragon was tired of flying, and fell into the lake and twisted his body at will, which would be a huge scene. And that's not the end. After the dragon played for a while, he found that the environment here was good, so he decided to settle down...

The city is full of wind and rain, and the impact continues!

A few days have passed, and the continuous rain has stopped. But the sky above Shanxi City still seems to be covered with a layer of bleak and sad clouds. People who travel occasionally look at each other and can always find a familiar and anxious expression on each other's face.

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

They never thought that one day the goddess would fall, and that she would fall so resolutely that even pieced together was a delusion.

Therefore, no matter whether it is subjective or bystander, one statement cannot be stopped from spreading in the city, that is, the goddess of mountain streams is angry and will no longer protect the city from then on.

This statement sounds very reliable, so people are even more frightened...

Compared with the ordinary people in Shanxi City, the believers of the Temple of Light were even more angry and sad.

Don’t forget that the goddess of Shanxi still has a layer of identity, that is, the first generation of saints in the Temple of Light. Now that the statue has collapsed, it is no exaggeration to say that the pillar of faith in the hearts of believers has collapsed instantly.

The faith of believers is loyal and fanatical, not to mention the group of crazy believers. So I don’t know when or which believer did the first action, but in short, someone openly committed suicide in front of the ruins of the statue.

This action quickly triggered a chain reaction, first a few people, then a dozen people... at the same time imitated this move.

There are many reasons, some say to leave with the saint, some say to calm the goddess's anger, and so on, etc. Fortunately, the official response of Shanxi City was very quick this time. Before the situation expanded, the brigade's guards rushed to station here, blocked all intersections, and prevented everyone from entering and leaving the square in the city.

After that, 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. In this two-pronged approach, it was finally overwhelming the suicide trend.

At the same time, the follow-up of this disaster was also constantly following up. First of all, there were many passers-by present at that time, and they were convinced that the statue of the goddess was artificially destroyed. In this way, it was very important to catch these two people.

Under such circumstances, the official of Shanxi City once again showed a rare high efficiency. In the afternoon of the same day, sketches were posted everywhere in the city, and in order to prevent it, they were sent to neighboring cities one after another, asking for pursuit of the murderer.

In front of everyone, the appearance of the two murderers was carefully restored. One was a middle-aged man with a cold face, and the other was a charming and charming beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, although many people with similar faces were captured, they were quickly ruled out. After a few days, the real murderer still disappeared.

In fact, if they kept looking for it according to this picture, there would be no result. The middle-aged man was just a disguised image of Tang En. As long as he took off the props, who could imagine that this young man with harmless faces was just a public face? As for Eunice, it was even more nonsense. Maybe they could confirm Eunice's identity and name, but it was undoubtedly a delusion to find someone. You must know that she had put on the most beautiful skirt and was directly melted by the dark mist that broke out from her in the end... How to find this? You can't let the God of Light say hello to the devil and then raise the person...

Perhaps seeing that this matter has not been effective for a long time, the official Shanxi City has made another move, which is to let the scapegoat - the Security Hall appear to divert the public's attention.

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 the will of the people to judge them.

First of all, there were more than a dozen cavalry guards who were present and eventually alive. Needless to say, the charges of ineffective escorts, fear of death, etc. were directly deducted. Then, the formal court in the city went around, then directly locked up in the death jail, and waited for Sunday to be sent to the gallows in public.

Next were the two highest officials of the agency, Demps, the Secretary of the Security Bureau and the General of the Cavalry. Their charges were for being poorly supervised and failed to arrive at the scene in time at the time of the incident. However, they had reason to argue, that was to put out fifteen bounty hunters' bodies.

If there were more than a dozen corpses as usual, Demps and the Chief of the Cavalry would have to show off and receive commendations and honors. But now, in order to suppress the anger of the citizens, the Chief of the Cavalry was dismissed and was also imprisoned. If nothing unexpected happens, he would have to spend the rest of his life in an unknown noble mine.

As for Demps, it was necessary to dismiss him. He knew that he had been hurt by Tang En. He gave him credit for his contributions, but he naturally did not dare to say this. He insisted that he had noticed the arrival of the bounty hunter, and for the sake of safety in the city, he mobilized the cavalry to encircle and suppress the enemy. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the nobles in the city, so he jumped around and set up a layer of protection network in time. The final result was to stay in prison for one or two years to show dereliction of duty. This was undoubtedly much better than the cavalry chief who had been on the gallows and had been a coolie for life.

Such a trial of cutting the mess with quick knife made the nobles and civilians in Shanxi City vent their anger a little, and also made the big men who were secretly operated to breathe a sigh of relief. If it were just ordinary citizens who protested, they would not care, but if this matter involves the Temple of Light, then we should not neglect it.

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

First, the Temple of Light will use the dedication of believers to rebuild the statue of the goddess, and promise to invite the great figures of the Holy City to come and pray.

Although no matter how new the statue is, it will not be the same as before, through these things, everyone can feel a little bit of confidence 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 investigate the real murderer.

No one would doubt the strength of the Temple of Light. Now that they have spoken out, the people are waiting for the day when the two damn guys are captured.

The official public relations of Shanxi City this crisis are quite outstanding, and all actions seem to be orderly. Of course, the influence of this matter is far from over this, and it can even be said that it is absolutely impossible to complete within several generations.
