Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

It was night.

The sky was dark, and the gates of the Holy City were already closed.

Hope was driving three carriages, taking his family away from the city.

Although the city gates were closed, he knew the guards' ways very well; as long as he gave them some money, they would probably open the gate and let them out.

Besides, he was a well-known figure in the city, and the guards would give him that much respect.

Moreover, he had brought some wine.

As long as the city gate guards drank the spiked wine he had prepared, Lai Gou'er should have a better chance of succeeding on his end.

Since entering the city five days ago, everything had gone smoothly.

He took his token and wandered around the slums, and sure enough, someone had taken the initiative to contact him and took away the signal flare.

There was nothing left for him to do; the only thing he could do was to quickly take care of his family affairs.

In the following days, he began to sort out his property step by step, taking away everything he could.

The rest he buried in a deep pit he dug in his house, burying all the gold and silver in it.

Then, he dismissed all the servants and slaves in his house in batches.

Only tonight did he take his family out of the city to seek refuge.

War was about to break out in the city, and it would definitely be chaotic.

If the Mutual Aid Society incited the poor to riot together, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Most of the poor devils seemed gentle and honest, but in reality, they were suppressed by poverty.

Once the evil念of greed emerged, a well-known wealthy man like him would definitely be among the first victims of the chaos.

So, he had to run as early as possible!

The three carriages drove to the city gate, where several guards stopped them.

"What's going on? The city gate is already closed."

Hope got out of the carriage with a torch, illuminating his face, and said in a slightly sinister tone, "Are you blind? Don't you recognize me?"

"Hope... Master Hope?" The guard leader was a little dumbfounded, took two steps back, and then his expression became serious again, "The city gate is already closed. According to the rules, no one is allowed to leave the city. Please come back tomorrow morning."

Hope silently took out two silver coins and handed them over, "I'm in a hurry to go out and discuss business. Open the gate quickly."

"This is not good. Although you are a famous person, you can't insult us with so little money..."

Hope didn't say a word, took out a bag of silver coins and threw it over directly, then raised his hand and pointed his thumb behind him, saying in a lazy tone.

"Hurry up, I really have something urgent. I have someone above me. You wouldn't understand the business matters even if I told you. I brought a cart of good wine that you can't buy on the market, ready to give it away. Take the money and give a few jars of good wine to the brothers to drink, and open the gate for me, or return the money to me."

The guard leader weighed the heavy money bag, the silver coins clanging inside, and the eyes of the other guards all turned green!

So many silver coins, and good wine that you can't buy on the market.

Damn! What kind of wine does a person like Hope drink?

"Alright! You have something urgent, and it's our duty to help, but when will you be back?" The guard leader said flatteringly.

Hope frowned, "What does it have to do with you when I come back?"

"I still have to open the gate for you!"

Hope showed two rows of big teeth and patted him on the shoulder hard, "Sensible, I like you like this! Don't wait for me. When I come back, go directly to my house and get another share of silver coins! Just say I sent it."

"Okay!"

The gate of the Holy City slowly opened to a width that could only allow one carriage to pass through.

The three carriages successfully drove out of the Holy City one after another, leaving five jars of spiked wine in place.

Watching the carriages go away, the guard leader licked his lips and said with envy, "Damn! He's really rich!"

"I said, brother, don't envy him. There's still wine here. Why don't we have a drink?" The guard next to him stared straight at the wine jar, drooling.

The guard leader rubbed his hands and smiled, "Okay, let's also taste what the wine of the upper class tastes like. Call all the brothers on the city wall down!"

Before long, a small group of guards gathered at the corner of the city wall.

The leader opened the wine jar, and a rich aroma floated out.

After drinking a cup of wine, the leader smacked his lips, feeling that it was not quite the same as he imagined.

"It smells good, but drinking it... it feels just like that. Let me taste it again."

"Damn! Brother, your poor tongue really can't enjoy the blessing. Let me!"

Everyone swarmed forward, taking a sip here and a sip there...

......

In a corner of the slums, Xiaoshuai stood high on a newly built wooden platform, surrounded by only core personnel who had been arranged in advance.

Looking at the core members of the Brotherhood below, Xiaoshuai's heart was constantly surging.

After the conflict between Da Jing and the Church intensified, he had already arrived in the Holy City, and some core members of the Brotherhood had all been transferred here.

After Lai Gou'er returned from Da Jing, he had been secretly transporting firearms and storing them here.

Now, the time had really come to make a big move!

Xiaoshuai raised his hands high and shouted to the crowd: "Brothers, a few days ago, we have arranged for people to prepare to attack the Holy City, and today is the time to act!"

"The world has suffered from the Church for a long time! The brothers of our Brotherhood are just seeking a full meal and a stable family. They work diligently every day, but most of their income is forcibly taken away by the Church. Why can the people in the Church sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, exploit them in the name of God, and indulge in pleasure?"

"They distort the holy words, are selfish and self-interested, and have no compassion. How can such a Church exercise power on behalf of God?!"

"We are not rebelling! Nor are we trying to deny the gods or the holy words! But to take back what should belong to us, our stable life!! These thieves who falsely claim the name of God will be condemned by heaven, and we will act on behalf of heaven today!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" There was a surge of excitement below.

As the most core members of the Brotherhood, these people undoubtedly hated the Church.

After joining the Brotherhood, their lives improved. In addition, the Brotherhood constantly educated them, and the Church constantly slandered the Brotherhood, so they had long hated the Church to the bone.

"Put on your headscarves! Our reinforcements are outside the city. They are a group of Orientals. Remember not to conflict with them!"

Xiaoshuai's eyes gradually sharpened: "Team One! According to the original plan, be responsible for solving the guards outside the wall of the slums."

"Teams Two to Ten, follow me to kill into the Temple Mount!"

"The rest of the people ambush near the main street shops, set up explosive packs in advance on the street, and once you encounter guard support, immediately detonate and shoot!"

After a simple arrangement, Xiaoshuai looked at Dazhuang and the other three beside him.

These three were the most reliable. Everyone was working for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so the most important parts must be handed over to them.

"The three of you wait for my side to act, seize the opportunity to use the prepared large amount of gold and silver to instigate the crowd inside and outside the slums to cause trouble. Don't make any mistakes."

"When I kill to the foot of the Temple Mount, I will immediately send a signal to attack from inside and outside!"

Dazhuang and others said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we are ready."

Xiaoshuai smiled hideously, and said hatefully: "Damn, I didn't expect that I would have today! I have been chased and driven away for so long, and finally the time has come for revenge!"
