I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 105 Don’t go back on what you promised me in bed

The work in this area is not a general summary, but extremely detailed. When Terry talks about these things, his expression becomes more and more awkward.

For example, in the actual operation of tomorrow's witch trials, any dark or hardened parts of a woman's body may be regarded as the mark of the devil, such as moles, scars, birthmarks and all insensitive skin patches.

In order for the witch trial to proceed normally, Hamis even captured a female thief, treated her like a witch, and let the Frofen executioner from Talmuburg perform experiments.

In the words of the tribe, if Hamis's arrangement is followed, no woman will be able to survive the end of the witch trials tomorrow.

Either if they are identified as witches, they will be burned. If they are not identified as witches, they will be forced to die through various means.

For example, there are two most dangerous conditions when examining a woman's body. One is warts. Xu Siling knows very well that many types of skin lesions may produce wart-like growths.

Not to mention that in the current European Middle Ages, the medical environment was very poor. Women relied on them for support when they were sick. They survived minor illnesses, but there was no need to treat serious illnesses because there was no money or conditions.

Therefore, women have more or less skin diseases, and there are particularly many warts on their bodies.

These will all be evidence of being designated as the mark of the devil.

Another situation is the area where the pain is weak. The interrogator will cover the witch's sight, and then prick the witch's body with needles, allowing the witch to tell her feelings at any time to identify whether a particular part of her is sensitive to pain. , if any suspected area happens to be insensitive to pain, that's solid evidence of a witch.

"Xu, after listening to the tribesmen explaining this set of procedures, I didn't feel anything except that my scalp was numb. After all, the executioner who performs this set of tasks is one of ours. We can ask him to raise his hands in private. On the premise that no one finds out, let him let the women in Raya Town go. The women who were captured in Tamubao were not all captured from Raya Town. There were also people from other places. Let those women become scapegoats. ”

Before Xu Siling spoke, Terry frowned and continued.

"But do you think you really think that if you let women shave their heads and be humiliated in public and make sure that they have nothing to do with witches, then they can be let go?"

"will not."

"Because there is a second way to identify a witch."

"That is, Khamis has ordered people to make a seesaw-like device. There is a river in the Tamu Fortress. The women who passed the first way will have to sit on this seesaw and tie their whole bodies to it. , and then throw the woman’s body into the river.”

"Anyway, being able to float without drowning means that the woman has magic and is a witch, so she has to be pulled up and burned to death."

"If she doesn't float and drowns, then pull her up and bury the body, and give her a saint's burial."

"Listen!"

"This means that no woman will survive tomorrow's witch trial!"

The more Terry talked, the angrier he became. His original intention was not to conflict with Tamubao. It would be best if he could handle the problem safely and save people.

Previously, he served Khamis at Tamu Castle and was unwilling to conflict with the nobles. Terry naively believed that as long as the executioner who carried out the witch trial was one of his own, wouldn't it be easy to save a few people under a secret operation?

Unexpectedly, Khamis completely blocked this road.

The executioner in charge of the witch trials was also helpless. He knew everything but didn't know how to help.

Unlike other civilians, Terry, who was born as an executioner, knew that there were not so many monsters in the world, that there was no God, and that there were no witches. Although he despised the witches in the forest, he sympathized with these women more than others.

Terry couldn't bear the thought that tomorrow these women would be stripped naked, shaved, humiliated in front of everyone and then die.

Xu Siling didn't feel anything strange after hearing everything. He patted Terry on the shoulder to let him relax.

"The relationship between Miss Raya and Khamis is getting worse and worse now. Miss Raya will not give in when it comes to saving her people."

"I understand what you mean. Do you want me to vaccinate my people?"

"Yes, I may need his help when necessary."

Terry's mind is not particularly smart, but at least he is clever and understands immediately. This means that when necessary, the executioner must immediately stand up to liberate the witch and adapt to changes. Anyway, it is impossible to side with Hamis.

"no problem!"

Regarding the witch trials, Xu Siling also knew more bad methods. These two were relatively basic and widespread. He had anticipated these methods before the witch trials officially became popular in 1484.

I just didn't expect that Hamis would do things to this extent. This further proves that Hamis's view of the witch trials was not just a whim, but he completely believed in the existence of witches.

"Then the second thing I asked you to do is investigate Frank. What is the result?"

Terry looked a little embarrassed: "This matter didn't go well. Jews like to live within their own group and rarely interact with other people. In other words, others don't like to interact with him."

"No news about him?" Xu Siling raised an eyebrow.

"That's not true. They moved to Tamubao from the south a year ago. All the Jews live in the area of ​​​​the barbican and take care of each other. Because they are Jews, Khamis does not pay attention to them, so they do business and lend money. During his daily life, Frank dedicated all the good things he gained from business to Khamis to please Khamis, and by the way, he asked for some citizen privileges."

"Frank is considered the leader. When the Black Death first broke out, it was he who stood up and suggested to Hamis to blockade the town and prevent the epidemic. Because of his contribution, Hamis began to think highly of him. In addition, Hamis When people around Si fell ill one by one and no one was available, Frank’s position next to Hamis became even more important.”

"I heard that he provided information about witches and Raya Town to Khamis, and even many details of the witch trials were provided by him. As for other things, I can't find out."

Terry apologized, and Xu Siling waved her hand to say it didn't matter.

He raised his eyes and looked at Fei'er, who was surrounded by nobles and was talking.

Tamubao and his party had three goals in their plan. Now they have completed the first two, leaving only the last one - to save the women in Raya Town.

But Hamis's attitude is that he will not give up the witch trials easily, and it is unrealistic to liberate women by force.

Many soldiers in Tamubao did fall ill. The number was not particularly large, but they did not bring many people with them.

It would be okay if he was the only one with the troops in Tamubao, but there are Faile, Ella, Falina and others in Tamubao now. If force is really used to rescue him, it will be difficult for anyone to take care of him in the panic. .

No matter what, Xu Siling told Terry to take people back to have a good rest and be ready for everything tomorrow.

After Terry left, Xu Siling watched Feier chatting with the nobles. After the duel, Ella and Falina secretly left back to the inner castle.

After chatting for a while, Fei'er found Xu Siling.

"How is the result."

"Very good, the price was right." Fei'er showed a cute smile, "Fortunately, I'm smart and asked the clerk to write several herbal formulas and epidemic prevention plans in advance, otherwise it might not be enough to sell."

"Use lime instead for disinfection, haven't you forgotten?"

"I forgot what you said." Mayfair rolled her eyes, "There are still some nobles who have some doubts, but judging from their posture, it is obvious that they have arranged for soldiers to go to Raya Town to inquire about the situation. Once the news is confirmed, there will be a meeting tomorrow. Reach a cooperation with me. I won’t sell medicinal herbs directly. We can only supply and collect medicinal herbs, so we can’t sell much to them, but the situation in Raya Town can eventually get much better.”

Xu Siling nodded and responded: "That's good." "I saw people from the Fulofen family talking to you in front of you. Your expression was a little solemn. What happened."

Xu Siling told Terry everything he had learned about the process and methods of tomorrow's witch trial and Frank's identity.

When she heard that tomorrow's witch trial was so filthy and full of ignorance and stupidity, Faile's expression also turned bad.

"Stupid, brainless, this old guy Khamis is really going back to life!"

"In this case, Hamis will not give up the witch trial easily and release the people. Rescue by force is the best way, but it is also the worst plan."

"I know what you mean." Mayfair's blue eyes were full of thought, "Let the servants pack up and go back to Raya Town tonight. The soldiers and I will stay here to deal with tomorrow's witch trial. With Hamis and I now Because of the relationship, even if I bring the nobles to pressure him to release him, he won’t be willing.”

"Are you, like me, prepared for the worst?"

"Otherwise." Fei'er snorted in displeasure, "You can't even protect your own people."

Xu Siling rubbed his chin. If Fei'er supported preparing for the worst, then he wouldn't have to tie his hands.

"Actually, I have an idea."

"You always have an idea."

Xu Siling smiled and spread his hands, then said seriously.

"Ask the servant to take care of things slowly. Anyway, we have to wait until nightfall before going back."

"You want to."

Xu Siling slowly took out the plan on the tray. Fei'er frowned upon hearing this and said worriedly.

"Isn't it too dangerous for you to do this?"

"Needless to say, it's dangerous. Fortunately, we have a lot of people with us and can take care of all aspects. Otherwise, this plan may not be successful."

Xu Siling's plan was very simple, which was to rob the prison after nightfall, kill all the prison guards, directly rescue the women, and then hide the women in the carriage returning to Raya Town that night, and then rescue them.

From what Terry learned, he learned that Khamis took the witch trials very seriously, and there were many guards in the prison.

Even if there were a lot of people, Xu Siling was sure to deal with them without making a big fuss.

As long as the speed is fast enough, the women can be rescued, and the Tamubao can be left early, then anything can be said.

Ever since Khamis publicly stated that he believed in the existence of witches, and even held a large-scale witch trial, it was only a matter of time before he was targeted by the Holy See and the Kingdom.

"My Xu, have you thought clearly?"

Mayfair is still a little worried. As long as this plan is implemented, Naraya Town and Tamubao will completely break up.

"I know what you are thinking. Mayfair, think about it seriously. From the moment Hamis believes in witches, he is not far from destruction. But you are different from him. You are special. There is no need to be afraid. he."

"What's the meaning."

"Don't forget, the Holy See will get the 'revelation from God', admit that the miracle happened in Raya Town, and recognize you as a saint, sooner or later."

Fei'er was not stupid, she just didn't think about it subconsciously. Being awakened by Xu Siling in this way, she suddenly realized and even trembled a little.

She looked around and found no one around, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"You want to attack Tamubao?"

"To be precise, it is to encircle and suppress Dar Khamis." Xu Siling smiled lightly, "In the name of God, pursue heretics. Mayfair, you are a girl who has seen God. You are also a devout saint. How can you allow Hamis to This kind of heresy exists in the world."

"We have all seen God. Without you, I can't see it." Feier rolled her eyes cutely and helped Xu Siling change her words: "Indeed, according to my initial status, as long as the Holy See can recognize me, then the crusade against Hamis , I have every reason.”

"So you are worried that there will be problems with the plan, and there is no need to conflict with Khamis afterwards, because Khamis must die, and we can even try everything in Tamubao."

Mayfair is not someone who is easily satisfied. She is ambitious and unwilling to be lonely. When she thinks that after she successfully defeats Khamis, everything in Tamubao, and maybe the king and the Holy See will support her, she is moved.

"Then follow your plan!" Fei'er warned, "But we can't fight with Khamis yet. There are too many nobles in Tamu Castle, and we can't let anything happen to them."

"I know."

"I'll arrange the servants first."

Fei'er separated from Xu Siling a little excitedly.

Looking at Fei'er's leaving figure, Xu Siling smiled and nodded.

He has always known that this is a society with divinity and no humanity. He first proposed that Mayfair take the path of a saint, and that was the path.

As long as the Holy See recognizes Mayfair as a saint, then Mayfair will be able to rely on this identity to carry out many acts of aggression. It will be easy to defeat Khamis, and even the Holy See and the king will have to support her.

Anyway, there aren't many prisoners in Raya Town whose heads he can chop off. Do you need to expand Mayfair's territory a little?

Or just declare Tamubao guilty, then go to the battlefield and chop off the heads of Tamubao soldiers, which will probably increase his skill proficiency a lot.

It’s just when did the Holy See admit that miracles occurred in Raya Town, and when did it admit that Mayfair had received God’s revelation.

Xu Siling still doesn't know.

Now that the preliminary plan has been decided, Xu Siling has to make preparations.

Just as he was about to go find Terry, he saw a petite figure and a slender figure coming together on the road.

It was Ella and Falina. The two were talking about something unknown at the corner of the road in the inner castle.

Xu Siling couldn't help but become interested and sneaked over to touch it.

"Ella, don't go back on what you promised me in bed that night."

"What are you afraid of."

[I haven’t been thinking about writing a book recently. My wife was sick and took injections for 3 days, and then I was sick with influenza A for another 5 days. I just happened to have a cold, and my wife also had a cold and a high fever, and now she has a fever of 39°C again. I basically go to the hospital during the day, and also go to the hospital in the early morning and night, just because I am afraid that my wife is not in good health. Since I don’t have a wife to help me read the text, please forgive me for typos and so on. I’ve already made a lot of cuts in the plot, and I’m also a little depressed. 】
