Chapter 146 The Humanized Devil
Robert Owen saw the huge crowd rushing out, and was also taken aback by their movements.

He kept shouting: "Friends! Calm down! Calm down!"

But his persuasion has long been submerged in the noisy yells of the crowd, and the people above Hot Blood can't hear what he is saying clearly.

Looking at the out-of-control crowd, Tom was sweating anxiously. He asked Arthur beside him, "What should we do now? There are already hundreds of people here. With a scale of thousands of people, there will be a big mess."

Arthur didn't say much, he pulled Tom and Tony beside him, and hurriedly stopped two public carriages on the side of the road for them and stuffed them in.

"Tom, you return to the Greenwich Police Station immediately and tell them that Arthur Hastings, Superintendent of the Greenwich District of the Greater London Metropolitan Police Department, has urgently ordered that all police forces in the district be mobilized immediately to Wool, a subsidiary of the Greenwich Police Department. The Royal Arsenal and Royal Dockyards in the Witch.

One post was set up in ten steps near the Woolwich Arsenal, and three people were set up in each post to strengthen security and patrol.

If any criminals are found attempting to attack the arsenal, I will arrest them all regardless of the reason!As for whether they were intentional or unintentional, we will interrogate later.

In addition, go to the Royal Artillery Regiment stationed near the Woolwich Arsenal and tell them not to rush out if they find anything unusual. Neither the Cabinet nor the Ministry of War have issued a suppression order so far.

If there is a large-scale riot and the local police force is really not enough to maintain order on the scene, then first ask the Royal Artillery to send a garrison company to assist.

In addition, I reiterate that no guns are allowed, and all the flintlocks in the Greenwich Police Station will be taken to the Woolwich Armory for safekeeping.At this stall, if anyone dares to throw away the gun for me, I will definitely send him to the criminal court later! "

Hearing this, Tom hurriedly stood at attention and saluted Arthur: "Yes, sir!"

"Tony, you go to Tower Hamlets and report the emergency to the Coldstream Royal Guards, who are responsible for guarding the Tower of London. If the head of the Coldstream Royal Guards, Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, happens to be there If you want to, you should report to him directly, and help them strengthen the guard force of the Tower Armory by mobilizing the local police force.

In addition, all the guns in the Tower Hamlets Police Station were transported to the Tower of London for me. I know how many guns there are there. "

Hearing this, Tony gritted his teeth and asked, "Arthur, Tower Hamlets is not the same as Greenwich. Greenwich is our hometown, and Tom knows them well, so you can say the same thing. But now I Without the official Scotland Yard transfer order issued by you, those guys may not be willing to listen to me!"

Arthur heard this and understood what Tony meant.

After he was promoted to Superintendent, the position of the new Superintendent of Greenwich District had not yet been officially determined, and several local Sheriffs were also his old subordinates. Tom could easily gain everyone's trust by showing his face in the past.

But the situation at Tower Hamlets is a bit more complicated, because the inspector of Tower Hamlets, like Clemens, came from the Horse Guards.

Although it cannot be determined that the two of them are on the same path just because they came from the same background, judging from Fred's ability to open a detective agency in Tower Hamlets to do business, the inspector is probably not a good person. Son.

Arthur licked the corner of his mouth, he grabbed Tony by the shoulder, stuffed the pipe in his pocket into his hand, and then whispered in his ear.

"If that Inspector at Tower Hamlets doesn't listen, you go to Jones and give him my pipe, and he'll know how to deal with it."

Tony exhaled slightly, and then nodded slightly at Arthur: "Okay, Arthur, I know what to do, and you should take care of yourself."

Arthur watched the two leave in the carriage, half of his heart was relieved.

He immediately stopped a stagecoach that was behind him, and when he was about to step on it, he found Agares blocking him.

The red devil spread its wings, covering Arthur's face from the morning sun.

While polishing his nails with a file, he shook his head and said.

"Arthur, why are you doing this? They like to court death, so let them go. Tsk, even after thousands of years, human beings still only have this level of intelligence.

Your religious books call me a devil, saying that I use all kinds of benefits to deceive human souls.It's true that I lied to my soul, but I gave something anyway!

Everyone is a fair contract and a fair transaction. Human beings have enjoyed the benefits I have given, so they will naturally pay me the benefits agreed at the beginning.

But now, it's just that someone gave them some empty promises, shouted "Down with Wellington, overthrow the Tories", neither gave them guns, nor gave them cannons, and they chased the unarmed to die.

To be honest, this is not as good as the Crusaders back then. At least after the Crusaders won the battle, they actually robbed a large sum of money, and all of them shared the land and honor of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Tsk, it seems that compared to soul trading, it is easier to do human fraud business.Arthur, I've said it many times, don't hang out with these idiots.They probably really thought that after knocking Wellington out of power, they would get some benefits.

So what if Wellington stepped down?Isn't it just another party in power?Public ownership of property and equal labor are good things to say. If human beings are really so impartial, there will be no heaven or hell.

Don't talk about public property, you go to the street to pick up a beggar and ask these workers if they would like to let this stranger live in their home. Ten out of ten will not.

In the end, I, who was willing to let beggars live in my house, became the heinous devil in the classics.

People who really do things are devils, and those who casually talk about philanthropy become angels, tsk tsk tsk, this is hypocritical human nature...

Arthur, I advise you not to take that old path. Although you don't like to read the "Bible", I still suggest that you learn more about the stories in it.

Why does the image of God in the Bible always drop meteorites, cause fires, and set off floods?Have you ever considered that God actually did such a thing?

No, that's just the God they expected, and only disasters can make them learn something good.

So, do you know how that kind man felt when Jesus was crucified by them?

Only when human beings know the pain, can they know how to cherish it.Jesus did not rise from the dead, nor did he ascend to heaven. That was just a lie concocted by a bunch of shameless people to comfort their poor consciences.

It's disgusting to think about a group of murderers kneeling before the corpse of the savior in penance and mourning.

There is a reason why angels are hard to find in the world. Your kindness for no reason will only make them feel that you are weak and deceitful in the end.Only when you put the barrel of a gun to their heads will they kneel and submit to you.

Arthur, listen to me, don't go.You just need to take care of your own jurisdiction. What other people do is their business. Even if the army is dispatched in the end, it is these people who asked for it.Isn't this group clamoring not to talk about morality?So why would you want to save them again for moral reasons?Don't be a fool, Arthur, morals don't touch people's hearts. "

However, when Arthur heard the words, he just smiled slightly: "Morality is not about others, but about yourself. What I do is not to influence anyone, but to make myself feel better. If you think I If you have morality, it only means that you are becoming more and more like a human being. Because only in the eyes of human beings, what constitutes the good and evil of a rational social animal is not emotion, but behavior."

After saying that, Arthur walked through the phantom of Agares' body and stepped into the carriage.

"Go to 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence."

Hearing this, the coachman couldn't help but took off his hat, and even became cautious when speaking: "Sir, what are you doing there?"

Arthur smiled and said, "What else can we do? Of course we are going to meet our prime minister, the Duke of Wellington."

The coachman flicked the reins, and the carriage started slowly: "I mean, why are you going?"

Arthur took out two coins from his pocket, and passed them through the front window of the carriage: "For the duty of the Metropolitan Metropolitan Police, to protect the property and life safety of the public. So for the sake of this property, please faster."
