Kalemi's scalp tingled, and he asked in surprise, "Didn't they say that the Brotherhood is low-key and law-abiding? Are you so low-key?"
Xiao Shuai patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "We abide by the law, but people in the church are not considered human beings in our eyes. Besides, I am still a heretic now. Anyway, I have already gone toe to toe with the church. What's the big deal about killing an archbishop?"
"And to be honest, the Brotherhood has never done anything big since its establishment. If I don't make any moves, the brothers will probably run away. Now everyone in the Brotherhood is talking about the strong man in the North who dared to kill the cardinal, and they all want to defect. If I can't control the situation, how can I survive in the future?"
Kalemi hesitated and said, "But even if you kill the archbishop, what problem can it solve? The higher-ups will send people over, and the conflict will only intensify, right?"
Xiao Shuai waved his hand: "It was the Brotherhood that killed the Archbishop. What does it have to do with Da Jing? I will help you divert attention. If you contact Duke Alvis directly, things will be easy later. Everything is difficult at the beginning."
"Besides, don't you have someone in the church? Talk to Brother Gou, and I'll ask you to help the Brotherhood pass on information and cover our troubles. I'm not afraid of anything with the Dajing Fleet here, and this time I'll just go for it! Just follow my instructions on this matter, and don't worry about it."
After that, Xiao Shuai said in a deep voice: "Assassination team, listen to my orders!"
Kalemi's eyes twitched twice: "Assassination team? Aren't you law-abiding citizens?!"
"Well, sometimes you have to deal with some competitors. These dirty jobs are inevitable. Competitors are not human beings."
The brotherhood's principles are really flexible...Kalemi lowered his head in shame.
Two strong men in black cloaks appeared in front of the two men. Xiao Shuai said coldly, "Brothers, we are going to do something big tonight. Go and take off the archbishop's head for me and send it to me within three hours."
The two men in black cloaks shuddered slightly, took a deep breath, and turned and left without saying anything.
Kalemi was shocked and said, "It's so simple, but he's the Archbishop, how can it be possible?"
Xiao Shuai showed off his domineering attitude: "Oh, this old guy has always been against me. I have bribed everyone in his mansion a long time ago. Killing him is easy, but I just didn't want to cause trouble before."
"Someone, come and prepare some decent food and wine for my brother..."
Kalemi's heart trembled: "Forget about it, we just finished eating. Let's just drink some wine. Everyone is equal in the fraternity. Why do you always order your brothers around like this?"
"Hi," Xiao Shuai smiled faintly, "Those are just for outsiders to hear. Besides, it's not like there is no equality. Everyone is equal under me. Besides, they are willing to do so."
"What kind of life did they lead before? Worse than cattle and horses! Now they can be like cattle and horses under my command. Why should they be unhappy?"
"You're going a bit too far." Kalemi looked reluctant.
Although we are all good friends, we are also members of the brotherhood after all. I didn’t expect that my real status is just one of the cattle and horses?
Xiao Shuai didn't care: "Excessive, how is it excessive? This is all Da Jing's wisdom. Do you remember what we learned in class together?"
"What did you learn?"
"There's an old saying in Dajing: If you're poor, you should help the world; if you're rich, you should take care of yourself. When you're poor and have nothing, you have to say nice things and gather your poor friends together to do things; when you're rich, you have to hide your money and live a good life by yourself. Have you forgotten all that?"
"No, you remembered it wrong, didn't you!?"
"No way, this is logical."
"It does seem to make sense, so I remembered it the wrong way?"
"You remembered it wrong." Xiao Shuai said with a smile. "I'll finish my work this time and find someone to take my place. I'll take care of the rest of the business and bring it all back to Dajing. Don't forget to say a few good words for me in front of Brother Gou."
"Of course, but can you be content to be an ordinary person after you go back?" Kalemi asked.
"Brother, you don't know how hard I've been. People in Dajing say that they would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. How could they have ever been the head of a chicken? I am the real head of a chicken. If you let me be the tail of a phoenix, I will pack up and leave right away." Xiao Shuai sighed.
"When I get to Dajing, if Lord Fang is willing to let me be a Jinyiwei, I will continue to be a Jinyiwei with a sinecure. If not, I will become a rich man. The money in my hand is enough for me to live a carefree life for the rest of my life. Then I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks! By the way, how is Dajing these two years?"
"Good, very good. I even participated in the first session before I went to sea..."
...
Two hours later, when the two were telling each other about their experiences, two men in black cloaks walked in from outside the hall.
"Done?" Xiao Shuai raised his eyes.
A bundle containing a spherical object was placed in front of him.
Xiao Shuai untied it gently and took a look, with a hint of mockery on his face: "Oh, you bastard, you finally fell into my hands. Well done, each of you will get ten gold coins later."
Who could have thought that the archbishop, who had always been so powerful and glorious in Feka, would die so easily in his own hands.
The Brotherhood had finally done something decent.
"Put the emblem on his head, leave a letter of challenge, and throw it at the door of the church in the central square."
......
"Duke, Father Solger wants to see you."
The waiter's announcement interrupted the thoughts of Duke Alvis who was pacing.
He instinctively leaned against the table, trying to hide what was behind him.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that no one was in the room.
He turned and looked at the one on the table, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Dead, the Archbishop is dead!
There is also a declaration of war against an organization that openly opposes the church! This is definitely the most important thing for Feika right now.
Fortunately, the guards patrolling the town square discovered the head first, and the situation did not escalate quickly.
But what to do next?
Now Feika has been integrated into the church, and even many management powers and taxes have been delegated to the church.
The entire diocese of the small country of Feka depended on him alone, and he died suddenly... When the church sends new people in the future, all the network of relationships over the years will be destroyed.
Moreover, the church might warn him that the king is still a child and no one cares about him, so he has to bear all the blame.
"Duke, Father Solger wants to see you."
The announcement sounded again. Duke Alvis calmed down, collected the heads, and said calmly, "Come in."
Father Soljie entered the room nervously, greeted them first, and then said, "Duke, this time I want to ask the Archbishop if we can discuss the matter of the Dajing Fleet again. Can you help me? They are really sincere in their cooperation and are carrying a large amount of goods. This is a good thing for both countries."
Dajing..how could you have forgotten this?
Duke Alvis became more alert: "How much cargo did they bring?"
"About a dozen ships. I don't care much about these things, so I didn't pay attention. Duke, the Archbishop..."
"He's dead!"
......
