Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2081, kill a hundred
Similar scenes are constantly being staged here in the slums. Yamen servants, police officers, and the army divide up areas, count the people in the area, check their identities, origins, and so on.

For those who are suspicious and have no status, they will be executed directly on the spot without any politeness.

In order to vent the anger in the hearts of the Ming people, there are still people who dare to kill the Ming people here. The young couple, the man is still a scholar, and he is a person with status and status. The key is that there are still people in the family. be an official.

The woman is not simple, she is the daughter of a big businessman here in Hong Kong. The impact of this incident is so bad that people in Daming don't dare to wander around now.

In the past, the people of Ming Dynasty could go wherever they wanted, and this was the colony of Ming Dynasty, which was snatched from the English by the people of Ming Dynasty with huge ships and cannons.

Daming people actually had accidents on their own territory, this is something that everyone cannot tolerate.

"preparation!"

"Fire!"

Accompanied by a cold order, dense gunshots pierced the quiet street, corpses fell one after another, blood stained the ground, and then flowed into the sewer, another dozen lives withered.

"Continue to search and verify!"

Xiang Xiong, the chief arrester of the Hong Kong Public Security Yamen, ordered coldly.

He also felt that his black hat was about to lose its hold.

As the chief catcher of the public security yamen here, he had a pretty good life in the past, and it can even be said to be very nourishing.

The gangs here will regularly hand in a lot of filial piety to themselves, which allows Xiang Xiong to set up a lot of family business, not only owning a lot of buildings and shops here in Hong Kong, but even in the Golden Island. There are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land nearby, and the family has more than a dozen concubines, all of whom are beauties from all over Europe.

But now, he is also trembling, for fear that he will lose his current official position, and the governor just needs to say a word, and he can immediately leave and go home to retire.

So he also had to come to the dirty slums to investigate the matter thoroughly.

When the people around were almost gone, Xiang Xiong also took a few yamen servants to find a hidden place very skillfully, where the bosses of several gangs had been waiting early.

"Brother Xiong~Brother Xiong~"

Seeing Xiang Xiong's arrival, Red Beard, Sean and Connor immediately bowed their heads, spoke fluent Daming dialect, served Xiang Xiong tea, and hurriedly ordered two stunning girls to serve him This Xiangxiong.

Xiang Xiong sat down on the chair angrily, looked at the two stunning girls beside him, he was quite satisfied, and immediately his anger subsided a lot, and then he said, "Have you found anyone?"

"Found it, found it!"

"It's a few people who just came here by smuggling. They don't understand any rules. When they saw that the Daming couple had money on them, they killed and robbed the money."

When the red beard heard this, he nodded quickly, and then waved his hand, and soon the younger brother escorted five people in.

"Did the five of them kill the couple?"

Xiang Xiong carefully looked at the five people in front of him. They were skinny and ragged. They were smugglers, because people in Hong Kong would not go hungry, and they could basically wear clothes. Neat and clean.

"It's them."

"We have checked through many sources. After they killed people and robbed money, they bought food in a nearby store. The owner of the store remembers them clearly and knows them."

"Because they were very thin and dressed in rags, but what they took out were silver dollars and banknotes. The boss firmly remembered this, and also remembered them."

The red beard nodded, and after the efforts of the three gangs, they finally found these five people, and they also checked all their details, even where they settled down after arriving here. up.

"very good!"

Xiang Xiong nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Have you found out who is providing them with housing and shelter?"

It has been several days of investigation, and it is not normal for people from these gangs to find out until today. You must know that the government officials and the police have already checked almost every place in the slums. But it still hasn't been found, and no one has provided clues.

It was obvious that someone was providing them with shelter and helping to hide them, otherwise they should have been found out long ago.

"Forehead"

Hearing Xiang Xiong's words, the red beard stopped immediately, feeling troubled for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"how?"

"Is it convenient to say? Or dare not say?"

Xiang Xiong glanced at him coldly and asked.

"No, no~"

"It is the priest on the side of the church who provides shelter for them. There is a secret room in the basement of the church."

Being swept coldly by Xiang Xiong, the red beard broke out in a cold sweat. Don't look at Xiang Xiong's easy-going appearance, but that's because everyone is usually filial.

If he really angered this Xiang Xiong, he would never have a good life in the future.

Thinking of this, Redbeard gritted his teeth and had to betray the church and the church.

Although this may make the locals here full of resentment towards him, compared to the people of Daming, they are nothing, and he has a clear balance of which is more important.

"church?"

"I said, after checking and checking, it turns out that they are protecting these people."

"good very good!"

When Xiang Xiong heard this, he couldn't help laughing immediately.

In fact, the church power in Hong Kong has always been very strong, mainly because the local people believed in it, when Hong Kong was just in the hands of Daming.

The church will continue to collect tithes, sell indulgences and so on, and own a lot of land, property, etc., and then let the first governor repair it severely.

The main missionary was beheaded, and then many of their privileges were revoked, their land, property, etc. were confiscated, and their arrogance was severely hit. Only then did they know who is the genius here .

But this place is very special. It belongs to the colony of Ming Dynasty. There are a large number of Ming people living and immigrating here, and there are also a large number of local people here.

The Ming people respected the customs of the local people and reserved churches for them, but the Holy See thought this was a good opportunity to spread Christianity to the Ming people.

Constantly infiltrating here, sending missionaries, encouraging these people to raise money to build new churches and the like, and trying to develop believers from the Ming people.

Therefore, the church has always had a great influence here. Even a gang leader like Red Beard must listen to the priest and pray regularly.

No way, this is their tradition all the time.

Daming people respect the local people, and they have been acquiescing to them to do this. As long as they don't preach to Daming people, don't collect tenth taxes or anything, they don't bother to care about other things.

Who knew that they were so bold as to shelter these smugglers now, and even the murderer of the Ming people was among them.

With a wave of his hand, Xiang Xiong escorted a few people to go, and soon, one car after another drove quickly, and groups of police officers, government servants, and soldiers quickly moved towards churches everywhere.

Finding the murderer is not a satisfactory explanation. What Daming people want now is an attitude, and what they want is to let everyone know and not to mess with Daming people.

Soon, Xiang Xiong surrounded a church with people.

The church in front of me is magnificent and magnificent, and it is now a famous cathedral. This is mainly due to the prosperity of Hong Kong, and the locals have also made a lot of money from it. If you have money, you can naturally build it. Beautiful cathedral.

Seeing the cathedral surrounded by government servants, police officers, and troops, Bishop Stephen hurried out with his people.

"My lord, I don't know what made you surround the holy church with such a mobilizing force?"

Stephen knew Xiang Xiong in front of him. Although he was only a small official, he had to respect him.

"Bishop Stephen, I think you have lived to the end, and dare to cover up the murderer who killed us Daming people."

With a wave of Xiang Xiong's hand, someone escorted five prisoners and came up.

Seeing these five people, Stephen's face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal and said, "I don't know them. We are a holy church here, how can we shelter criminals."

"Hmph, the dead duck has a hard mouth!"

"Search me!"

Xiang Xiong sneered, and as soon as he gave an order, the policemen and government servants rushed in and began to search carefully. It didn't take long before groups of stowaways were driven out.

There are so many people that there are thousands of people, and huge basements have been dug out under the church.

In addition to these smugglers, a large number of indulgences and printing tools for printing indulgences were also found in the basement, as well as a Bible that was being printed and translated into Chinese.

When he saw that all the front parts were searched out, Stephen's whole face was ashen. This is enough for him to die many times, especially the most serious one, which is strictly forbidden to spread Christianity to the people of Ming Dynasty. Translation related Giving things to Daming is enough for him to shoot him several times.

"Bishop Stephen, what else can you say?"

Xiang Xiong looked at Stephen and asked with a sneer.

"Lord Almighty, he will save his people."

"Believers will go to heaven, unbelievers will go to hell!"

Stephen had nothing to say, he could only draw a cross, pray and mutter there.

"Humph!"

"Take it down, torture and interrogate it, cover stowaways, sell indulgences, and translate these things into Chinese. Any one of these things is enough to kill him many times."

Xiang Xiong said coldly, regarding this aspect, the control of the Ming court is very strict, strictly forbidding the people of the Ming Dynasty to believe in these foreign things, and forbidding anyone to spread these things to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
