Chapter 243: Archbishop of Newcastle
"From the future, when will it be?" Bi Luo muttered, all her dissatisfaction was written on her radiant pretty face.
"Mr. Biluo, Archbishop Newcastle of the Holy Church of Light is here. Lord Shuning asks you to come and see you together." Biluo's secretary knocked on the door of her office and reported.
Secretary, this was Xiao Han's invention, which freed the main officials of Fengcheng such as Biluo from the busy trivial matters, making the entire Fengcheng's government agencies more efficient.
In the reception room of the city hall, Archbishop Newcastle in white magic robe, there were only a few long hairs left on his forehead, shiny. It seemed that he had been carefully dressed up before.
"Article Newcarmen." Shuning Lian, wearing a sky blue professional suit, walked into the conference room slowly, and was surrounded by a purple dress and green skirt.
"Madam Shuning, Madam Biluo, hello." Newcarmen's identity is at least equivalent to a duke on the mainland. For a lady of a small third-class marquis, he would be enough to give face if he could owe him a little.
"Article, please sit down!" Shu Ning greeted, "Come on, come and have tea!"
Although Archbishop Newcastle was not used to drinking tea, he also heard that all the guests received by Fengcheng Hall used tea and no other drinks.
He stopped after he tasted it lightly, and the bitter taste made his eyebrows frown slightly.
"Article Newcarmen, how about this tea?" Shu Ning asked with a smile.
"It's a bit bitter, I can't get used to it!" Newcastle smiled and put down the teacup and said.
"Haha, I was not used to it when I was just drinking tea, but now I am used to it. In fact, it is just a little bitter at the beginning. A fragrance will soon be emitted from my mouth, which will not dissipate for a long time, so that I can refresh myself. Why not take another sip?" Shu Ning said.
Biluo smiled and said nothing. Although she was talking about tea, at the beginning, Newcastle was unknowingly caught by Shuning's initiative in the conversation. Shuning's on-the-spot control ability became even more powerful. Originally, Newcastle came to see Shuning, but now it has become Shuning's initiative to talk to Newcastle.
Newcastle laughed dryly, not wanting to drink it, but he thought in a blink of an eye that if he didn't drink it, he would be a little petty. So he picked up the teacup again, lowered his head and took a sip. The bitter taste immediately filled his mouth. If he hadn't been concerned about his image, he might have vomited it out on the spot.
"It's OK, it's OK." Archbishop Newcarmen's face changed for a few moments, quickly swallowed a sip of tea, nodded and said.
"The Archbishop came to the town hall early in the morning. Is there anything wrong?" Shu Ning smiled playfully, put down the teacup and asked.
"It's nothing big, it's the incident in the evening five days ago. I'm here this time to hope that you three families can turn wars into pleasant silk." Archbishop Newcarmen showed a righteous and kind look and said tactfully.
"Is the Archbishop here to be a lobbyist?" Shu Ning and Bi Luo looked at each other and smiled.
"No, no, I hope there will be no such a bloody incident again. Last night, the people from the Magicians Guild and the Warrior Guild gathered in front of the Security Department, and it almost led to a siege." Newcarmen said compassionately.
"I would like to ask if the Archbishop came for him or was entrusted by the two major guilds?" Biluo asked.
"No. I'm here by myself. The Magician Guild and the Warrior Guild are both backbone forces to resist the demons' invasion of the continent. I don't want to see you two make bloody storms for such a trivial matter." Newcastle said hurriedly.
"So what does the Archbishop want us to do?" Shu Ning took the conversation and asked.
"As long as the two ladies are willing to give in, I will talk to the two guilds!" Newcastle said with a slap in his chest.
"Why is it considered a step back?" Shu Ning pondered for a while and asked as Newcastle's words.
"Pensage, compensation and fine of 1,000 gold coins, bail, 10,000 gold coins, as for the responsibility, the scene was very chaotic at the time, and it was impossible to explain who killed whom. Since I had paid the money, let's just forget it!" Newcastle told me.
"What, forget it, kill someone and pay some money, Archbishop Newcarmen, among the people who died, you are the devout believers of the Holy Church of Light. What should you do? Will you pay some money? "Bi Luo slapped the table and stood up angrily and said.
Today they came to see Newcastle together, one of them came to sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the sing the
Shuning echoed: "Yes, Archbishop of Newcarmen, we don't care much about the gold coins. To be honest, we paid the pensions and compensation and even fines to the victim's family in advance. Even if the two guilds do not give this money, our city hall will pay the money. You also know that this matter has a great impact. The people in the entire Fengcheng area are watching! You don't want this to be an unsafe city, right? In an unsafe city, who will come here to live, and how do you develop your believers?"
"Why, you have advanced the pension and compensation?" Archbishop Newcarmen said in surprise. He had been walking on the mainland for decades and had been to hundreds of cities. This was the first time he heard that the government would pay for the death of a fight.
"This is Fengcheng. As long as the people living in our Fengcheng, we have the responsibility to protect their safety, otherwise what will they do for us to pay taxes?" Biluo sneered.
"There is a way of saying that there is no rule, no square. Our Fengcheng is a pioneering person. Everything must be strictly formulated, otherwise the city lord's local temper, the archbishop, you know the city lord's local temper!" Shu Ning said helplessly, meaning that they are just executors, not rule makers, and they do not have the power to agree to anything.
"The two ladies are still influential to the city lord. For the two guilds, face is much more important than this little gold coins!" Newcastle said. "I'm sorry, we really can't make the decision!" Shu Ning shook his head and said.
"Okay, I'll talk to the people of the two major guilds!" Bishop Newcastle stood up in embarrassment.
"Architective walked slowly!" Shu Ning and Bi Luo were both sitting there, and they had no intention of getting up to see the guests.
Although Newcarmen was unhappy, they knew that they were Fengmo’s women and could only swallow this discomfort.
"Sister, do you think this Archbishop Newcarmen is really here to be a lobbyist?" Shu Ning asked Bi Luo in confusion.
Biluo was also suspicious and said, "I don't know yet. But we must be careful. People in the Holy Spirit of Light may not be bright."
"Do you want someone to pay attention?"
"Yes, but don't get too close. Just leave the town hall and go somewhere."
"I'll call the Marquis!"
"Good. Tell him what's going on here."
Xiao Han soon received a call from Shu Ning at the City Lord's Mansion and learned about all the conversation between Biluo and Shu Ning and Newcastle.
If Newcastle's move was entrusted by the two guilds, it would be fine. After all, it would be easier to talk to through an intermediary, and he was also a little bit related to the Holy Church of Light, and he was also labeled as a holy knight of honor.
But if not, then Newcarmen's move would be a bit meaningful. What does he want to do?
But Chen Yu's information said that the Archbishop of Newcastle has always been in the branch hall of Fengcheng. Except for sending people out to inquire about the news every day, he rarely walked out of the main gate of the branch hall.
However, this can only explain one problem. He has never contacted people from the two guilds directly, and the priest who went out to inquire about the news has basically never contacted any special people. In other words, he is unlikely to be a lobbyist of the two guilds, so what is his purpose?
He was a lobbyist and secretly provoked, but from his conversation with Shu Ning and Bi Luodi, there was no trace of provocation. Interests, Xiao Han firmly believed that this old guy would not do anything without interests.
So far, Xiao Han has not regarded the Holy Church of Light as his own person.
Perhaps his purpose is to test how firm the attitude of the city hall is. This is the most popular thing for watching the tiger fight in the mountains.
Although the Holy Sect of Light and the two major guilds are not mortal enemies, they have little relationship. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot withstand two tigers. Now there is a three-legged tripod. Both of them can cause a heavy blow to the third party. Then the two victorious parties will fight to the death. Judging from the current situation, no one wants to fight the Three Kingdoms War. Newcastle cannot unite with any of the two major guilds. But there is one possibility, that is, the three families are united. If this is the case, then Fengcheng faces the three major forces alone, and I am afraid that they can only surrender.
This is exactly what Xiao Han is worried about! However, this possibility is slim. The three major forces have always had their own ulterior motives and cannot be united. This is basically certain, but it is still possible to combine interests in a short period of time.
After leaving the city hall, Archbishop Newcarmen went to the Wind City Branch of the Magician Guild and the Wind City Branch of the Warrior Guild. He stayed for about half an hour, and then returned to the Wind City Branch of the Holy Sect of Light.
He met with the highest person in charge of the two major guilds who came to Fengcheng and said something, but no one knew the specific content.
The cause of the conflict was because of a jealous incident. Both parties and the woman in dispute had died. It was really unproven to die. Even if someone set up a case on purpose, it was impossible to investigate. It was perfect!
Now the two major guilds are still arguing about the cause of this incident!
The case is still under investigation, but there are no clues. The investigation ability of the Public Security Department is not as good as that of Chen Yu's Intelligence Department. However, all the intelligence of the Intelligence Department must be interrogated by Biluo before it can be handed over to the Public Security Department. After Xiao Han comes back, the Intelligence Department is only responsible to Xiao Han.
So is the relationship between this incident and the Holy Church of Light?
Those guys who are thieves and prostitutes and hypocritical, like the most is frame-up and sow discord!
"Marty, we found a man named Fur Ao. He is a cloth merchant and is very familiar with a priest in the Fengcheng Branch of the Light Holy Sect. The shameful activities of the Fengcheng Branch of the Wind City are basically the priests in charge. The reason for the dispute between the Qiuli Fire Senior Magician of the Magician Guild and Guan Ying of the Warrior Guild was a prostitute named Fengmei. Now all three of them have been killed on the spot. Fengmei's woman once thought about it with the priest, but Fur Ao followed him again, but Fur Ao did not help him redeem himself. After the incident, Fur Ao also disappeared!" Chen Yu's investigation was very detailed, and an unusual aura was revealed between the lines. The Holy Sect of Light played a disgraceful role in this incident.
