Chapter 155: Plea guilty and commit suicide

As soon as Lu Yuan appeared, Williams, the chief knight, suddenly lost his arrogance and became full of fear.

As the consul, Victor took a step forward and said sternly:
"Lu Yuan, these people burned the church and killed the clergy of the Catholic Church. Not only did they commit an unforgivable sin, but they also offended and provoked the Holy See and the entire HRE Empire. Do you dare to stand up for them?"

Lu Yuan sneered:
"It's just killing a few inhuman beasts. What kind of unforgivable sin is it? But you, the Holy Catholic Church, preach the gospel of the Lord and persuade people to do good, but in the end, you harbor evil like this?"

"you!"

Most of the Shinra people present did not understand Chinese and did not react. However, Williams and Victor felt that their faith was insulted, but they were all furious.

But before they could utter a sharp rebuke, bursts of shouts suddenly came from outside the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way"

"The governor has arrived——!"

On the avenue, there was another wave of restlessness among the boiling crowd, and then a group of capable officers and soldiers were seen forcibly separating the crowd and entering the venue.

"This is slander and frame-up!!"

Fan Zhenxiong, who already knew the situation, saw Lu Yuan at a glance. He winked and then gave orders, directing a large number of officers and soldiers to form a human wall to isolate the people from the concession.

"What about child abuse? There are more than ten boys who were violated by Gao Hailou. The torturers took their children and cried to us in person to testify. How can you deny it?"

He already had a rough idea of ​​how the Golden Knife Regiment led the people to riot and burn down the church, but he didn't know why Lu Yuan appeared here. He couldn't think of asking any more questions for the time being, and said in a cold sweat:
"There seems to be a hidden agenda behind the burning of the church. As far as I know, someone discovered that the abandoned baby adopted by the Mercy Church died suddenly and suddenly for no apparent reason, and then"

Gao Hailou's denial immediately made Cao Futian laugh in anger. The people present were also furious and cursed. If the officers and soldiers hadn't stopped him, they would have rushed over and beat him to death.

"Everyone, step back three feet!"

As the most powerful country in the world today, the Holy See is above the imperial power. The church was destroyed and the priests and nuns were killed in a serious manner. If it is not handled well, it is likely to trigger a war between the two countries.

All priests who preached in the Jin Dynasty had to follow the local customs and take a Chinese name, and they were even more proficient in Chinese than the consul Victor.

He has always favored the Zhuhe faction in the court. It is precisely because of this that he was favored by Xici and appointed as the governor of Jinjin, taking charge of this important coastal city where the situation was extremely complicated.

Regardless of whether this thing was done by the priest of the Mercy Church, it is impossible to admit it from the perspective of the Holy See. Williams said angrily:
"It is absolutely impossible for a believer in God to do such a devilish act. Someone must want to sabotage us from spreading the gospel of the Lord to the suffering people!"

"Governor Qi, you have also heard that these so-called crimes are completely unfounded, but this group of despicable mobs burned down our church and killed our priests and nuns. Needless to say, you should know that this is harmful to both of us. How do you plan to deal with the damage and impact it will cause on relations between the two countries?”

Having already learned the news before coming, Qi Yuanjiang looked at Lu Yuan and then at the blood-stained Williams opposite him, his eyelids twitching wildly.

The leader, riding a tall horse, was none other than Fan Zhenxiong, the Dusi of Jinjin.

"Fan Dusi, maintain order here and don't let these people attack the concession!"

Behind Victor, the fifty-year-old Shinra foreigner named Gao Hailou immediately braved his scalp and shouted:
"This is slander, this is slander! I have been preaching in the church for many years and have adhered to the Lord's teachings and precepts, and I have never exceeded any limits! The sufferers you mentioned either have ulterior motives or have been bribed!"

On the side, Cao Futian couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and said sternly:

During this process, Consul Victor immediately stepped forward and shouted coldly:
"Qi Yuanjiang, Governor of Jinjin!? You came just in time. These untouchables have just burned down three of our churches outside the concession, and also killed more than 20 priests and nuns. Only the priest of Wanghailou Church escaped. , Such criminal behavior is unforgivable, I want you, the governor, to give us an explanation. If the anger of the empire cannot be calmed, I guarantee that the artillery fire of the imperial warships will cover every inch of Jinjin!"

Williams didn't care about the crowd in front of him at all, he just stared at Qi Yuanjiang and said:

However, the riots that occurred in the city today happened too fast. When he learned the news, three churches had been burned down, and he had no time to react.

Qi Yuanjiang's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was speechless.

Behind him was a luxurious carriage. Before the carriage even stopped, Governor Qi Yuanjiang, dressed in official robes, hurriedly stepped out of the carriage with his staff and gave orders:

Although the situation of the imperial court in recent years has been to recuperate and recuperate at the same time, it is intensifying its military strength, vigorously forging muskets and artillery to train new troops, in order to one day recover the past humiliation and face from the great powers.

However, Jinting had only experienced a disastrous defeat against the Rizhao Army in the first half of the year, and Shinra was immediately the number one power, even more powerful than Rizhao. If a war started, the court would still be unable to resist, and he, the governor, would be the biggest scapegoat!
Qi Yuanjiang forced himself to calm down, his mind was spinning, and just when he was about to speak, Lu Yuan on the side suddenly said calmly:

"You Shenluo people are really good at making lies and confusing right and wrong. Let's not talk about anything else. If it can be proved that Gao Hailou has committed crimes against boys, what will you say?"

Seeing Lu Yuan suddenly speak, Williams stared at him:
"If there is such an act, without you, we will personally send him to the stake and let his soul repent in hell!!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Very good, then let me ask myself whether he has done it."

call!
Subconsciously, a strong wind suddenly rose in the field, and his figure disappeared out of thin air in full view of everyone.

what?
Everyone in the Shinra Concession was suddenly startled, unable to believe what was happening in their eyes. The next moment, a scream was heard. Williams, Victor and others turned around suddenly in shock and saw Lu Yuan. I don't know when he passed them and appeared next to Gao Hailou, and like a hawk catching a chicken, he grabbed his neck and lifted him up!

Gao Hailou, who fell into Lu Yuan's hands at this moment, was horrified, but his body reaction was as if it was frozen without any resistance.

Williams, who reacted the fastest, immediately stepped forward to block him in anger:
"Asshole, let go"

But before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan just turned his head suddenly and looked around, with a dim light in his eyes. Williams suddenly let out a shrill scream, holding his head and staggering back as if his head had been stabbed with a sharp knife. , blood suddenly flowed from his nostrils.

Everything happened so fast that it couldn't even be described as lightning. Victor and the surrounding Shinra soldiers with guns were shocked and turned their guns.

However, Lu Yuan just flicked his sleeve, and the air was instantly oppressed by unimaginable power, and a violent wind wave visible to the naked eye swept away like a tsunami towards the surroundings!

Woo woo woo.
The strong wind that had almost condensed into substance roared in all directions. Victor, and even the elite Shinra soldiers around him, suddenly seemed to be in a level 10 storm. They could not stand under the impact of the strong wind, and could not even open their eyes. It's a man's back on his back! !

As a result, Qi Yuanjiang, Cao Futian, and even the people at the front of the crowd were horrified to see a group of Shinra soldiers falling to the ground like gourds rolling on the ground. The strong wind was blowing everywhere at the entrance of the huge concession, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere, just like a natural disaster!
With just one look, Williams, the so-called chief knight, retreated wildly as if he had suffered a heavy blow. With just a wave of his sleeves, dozens of soldiers fell on their backs. Such a miraculous and unbelievable method immediately made everyone present freeze and freeze.

In this scene of chaotic arrows, Lu Yuan was already laughing, the wind suddenly rose, and his figure flashed, carrying Gao Hailou, he swept out from the Shinluo people's side and returned to the open space in the field. It was not until he stood still that Williams, who was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and even Victor and the soldiers finally recovered, feeling horrified and furious:
"Asshole, what do you want to do!?"

"Let Gao Hailou go, otherwise we won't be able to spare you!"

"When our Shenluo army reaches the border, not only will you die to apologize, but the entire Jinjin will be reduced to rubble!"

While talking, hundreds of their soldiers loaded their guns one after another, including two machine guns with their safety guards turned on and pointed at Lu Yuan in the field. Just waiting for the order, they would spit out tongues of fire and harvest thousands of lives.

Of course, it's just a threat. No one dares to actually shoot unless their life is threatened as a last resort.

After all, Lu Yuan is a legendary figure who has defeated two great master-level experts in a row. He has unimaginable prestige in Jinjin. If they really shoot, they may not be able to kill each other. Such completely embarrassing behavior has become a Thousands of people could swarm them and tear them apart.

In such a tense and dangerous situation, Qi Yuanjiang finally reacted in shock and saw Lu Yuan's voice trembling:
"Master Lu, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

"There is nothing trivial about diplomacy. Let this person go. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it later!"

Lu Yuan was too lazy to look at him. He just casually threw the priest Gao Hailou in his hand to the ground and said in a thunderous voice:
"Gao Hailou, someone has accused you of coercing believers and molesting their boys when you were preaching at Wanghailou Church. There were more than ten victims, right?"

At this moment, Gao Hailou was sitting on the ground blankly, his eyes were confused, and he said dullly:

"Yes, yes, I have committed the crime of sexual immorality."

boom--

Hearing Gao Hailou's admission, the crowd around him suddenly burst into a huge uproar, and the sound of curses shook the sky.

It was completely unexpected that Gao Hailou would change his story so easily. Williams and Victor also changed their faces wildly and angrily said:
"Gao Hailou, what are you talking about!?"

"In front of so many people, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Yuan ignored these two people and continued to ask lightly:
"Gao Hailou, how many people have been murdered by you? Please tell the truth about the time, place, and victims of your evil deeds!"

Gao Hailou knelt on the ground and began to cry bitterly, saying intermittently:
"By God, it is I who have committed the unpardonable sin of lust."

"Wanghailou Church has a total of 378 local believers in Jinjin. I have had sinful thoughts about the children of 15 families and took action."

"These believers are very devout people. I asked them to bring their children to church every Sunday and offered to baptize them myself. Then I drank drugs and violated them."

"My soul has committed irreparable mistakes under lust and sin. I want to repent to the merciful Lord, may He"

On Gao Hailou's side, he burst into tears and cried bitterly as he confessed. Opposite of him, Williams, with a twisted face, drew his gun and roared:
"You deserve to die!"

Bang bang bang!
The muzzle of the gun burst into flames, but due to the early detection of Meng Tou's technique, Lu Yuan blocked in front of Gao Hailou in advance, and a layer of golden light bloomed on his body, blocking all incoming bullets;
At the same time, he flicked his hand, and the golden light burst out like lightning, instantly cutting off the barrel of the gun and even two fingers in Williams' hand!
With his hands dripping with blood, Williams suddenly let out a roar of pain. This shocking scene once again stared at everyone present. Fan Zhenxiong was the first to react and shouted angrily:
"Bold, you dare to kill people and silence them!"

He gave the order, and the musketeers under his command immediately rushed out to block Lu Yuan, all pointing their guns at Williams and the others.

Victor supported Williams in shock and anger, but because his own side fired first, he did not dare to order a collective fire.

Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Qi Yuanjiang's scalp went numb and he shouted in fear:

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

However, no one paid heed to the governor's call. Lu Yuan did not even look at Williams, but looked at Gao Hailou indifferently:
"Your crime is unpardonable. Now that you have confessed, please give an explanation to the Jinjin people present."

As his words fell, Gao Hailou raised his head with tears streaming down his face and shouted:
"I, Gao Hailou, have committed a heinous crime and deserve to die!"

"Such a sinful person should no longer live in the world. I hope my soul will fall into hell and repent forever!"

As he spoke, he picked up a sharp stone from the ground and smashed it on his head.

boom!
With the first heavy blow, his head was immediately broken and bleeding, and blood flowed down. However, he didn't seem to notice it, and he shouted fiercely:
"Damn me!"

"I'm guilty!"

"Damn me!"

"I'm guilty!"

Every time he shouted, the stone in his hand would hit his head hard with quick and firm movements.

After four or five consecutive blows, his skull was cracked and his flesh and blood were blurred. You could even see his brains flowing out. The scene was bloody and horrific.

However, even so, he still seemed to be unconscious and did not scream in pain. He knelt on the ground and hit his head hard in front of everyone. After several times, he completely smashed his head to pieces before shaking. He staggered and fell to the ground.

After just a few words of judgment from Lu Yuan, Gao Haicheng seemed to be completely possessed and stoned himself to death.

Such a strange, bloody, and even terrifying scene made the entire audience, whether it was the common people of Jinjin or the foreigners of the Shinra Concession, remain silent throughout the whole process. Their whole bodies felt horrified, and an icy chill continued to spread.

"This this"

Qi Yuanjiang, who was relatively close and usually pampered, couldn't bear this bloody scene at first, and backed away in horror:

"Crazy, crazy!"

"This man must be crazy!"
