Chapter 436 Countermeasures
There were heretics around him, and they also exerted influence on himself in an attempt to induce him to fall. This made Purficott feel very angry, but he was not surprised.
After all, the end of the world is coming, and in this environment, cults and heresies are most likely to breed.
Facing the end of the world, people are terrified and uneasy. They urgently need spiritual comfort to give themselves a sense of security or sustenance.
Because in the face of the end of the world, everyone has great uncertainty and fear about the future. At this time, religious belief often plays an extremely important role.
This is why whether it is the original world or this world, in the past thousands of years, every time of trouble was a time when religion flourished.
In the original world, from the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the White Lotus Uprising and the Boxer Rebellion in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the final analysis, the people behind it all placed their trust in everything when faced with various dissatisfactions in reality or no hope. manifestation of religion.
Some people may say that the Yellow Turban Uprising was a bowl of talisman water that calmed people's hearts, but in a sense, this is also the role of religion.
In this world, whether it is the collapse of the old god belief or the rise of the church, the fundamental reason behind it is that people need religious beliefs to stabilize their hearts and gain spiritual sustenance.
With such a case before him, Purficott actually had a plan for the emergence of a heretical sect in Langton.
Even because of the church's active participation, she did not use the plan she had originally prepared.
But the heresy actually placed people next to her and exerted influence on her in an attempt to seduce her into corruption. This made Purficott very angry and found it difficult to accept.
"Judge Sabel, I need to know if you can find the heretics around me." Purficott looked at the judge in front of him who was nominally sent by the church to protect him, and asked her Asking.
In response to this question, Sabel nodded happily: "This is my specialty."
"Then I need you to eliminate the heretics that may exist around me, and treat Wen De Thor Castle is inspected, and as much as possible... no, it is necessary to cut off the influence that the heresy around me may have on me." Perficott directly issued the order to the magistrate, and gave her great authority. : "You can inspect anyone entering or exiting Windsor Castle. Once their heretical identity is verified, you can arrest them first and then report to me.
In addition, the problem of heretical sects in Langton City must also be eliminated. No matter who it is, as long as it is verified to be true, you can carry out religious trials on them and execute them in a way you think is reasonable!
As for the manpower issue, I will assign you a steam knight from the standard team. If there is any action that requires manpower, you can also mobilize the city guard.
In short, I have only one request, and that is that no heretics should appear in Windsor Castle! All heretical sects in Langton City must stop causing trouble! ”
Perfect was also ruthless, but the more times like this, the more difficult it is to let someone who is interested in causing trouble.
So she can only take extraordinary measures to ensure that Lang There won't be any problems.
As for other parts of the empire... When Perficott thought of this, he looked at the cardinal and asked him: "How much help can the church provide in this matter?"
"Within its power, No stone is left unturned,” the cardinal replied in the affirmative. When faced with the issue of heresy, the church is probably more concerned about it than Perfectcott, and it is also more extreme.
After all, for a religious person, the most unacceptable thing is heresy.
Especially for the church, now is also a very critical moment.
They invested so much and even converted churches into shelters to protect civilians. For what reason?
Isn’t it just that little bit of faith? Lian Mudu is planning to risk his life for this matter. At this time, if the heretics want to come out to cause trouble, they will undoubtedly be jumping into the church's minefield.
"Very good, I will issue an order later. The church can use all means to investigate and arrest heretics, and the armed forces of the empire will fully cooperate with you." Perficott now holds a Although Langton's military and political power cannot be said to be able to decide everything with one word, at least she can still issue orders of this level.
"Please rest assured, Lord Earl, they were unable to cause trouble in the past, and they are still the same now! The followers of the All-Father will definitely defend His people." The Cardinal saluted Perficott, an appropriate expression. It showed the determination of the church, but at the same time, it did not make Purficott feel that the church was full of ambition.
The Magistrate Sabel on the side also nodded affirmatively, indicating that he would eliminate the heretics around Perficott.
"One powerful action is worth a thousand words, do what you should do." Purficott glanced at the cardinal and magistrate in front of him, indicating that they could leave.
After the cardinal and the magistrate left, Purficott looked at the two heads of the intelligence department and said in a cold tone: "I am very dissatisfied with your work. Heretics have infiltrated You have come to me and you still don’t know anything! Does the Imperial Center’s annual allocation support you, a group of insects?
Within three days, I hope you can submit one that satisfies me? "I don't want to hear what you say, but I want to see what you do!"
"Understood, Lord Earl, we will give you a satisfactory answer!" Although the heads of the intelligence department felt aggrieved and felt that this matter was not their fault, the matter had already happened and they must take responsibility.
This is the most basic quality of an imperial noble. No one cares about what you do on a daily basis, but you must at least ensure that nothing will happen, or that you can take responsibility when something happens.
Of course, if they can find subordinates who can take the blame, these nobles will never take the responsibility on themselves with high moral standards.
Just when Purficott finished reprimanding the two heads of the intelligence department and told them to get out and work, a guard suddenly broke in and reported loudly to Purficott: "Earl Sir, there is a riot in Xiacheng District, which has swept through four blocks. The City Guards are suppressing them!"
"What kind of trash are the City Guards? How could they let the riots in Xiacheng District develop to such an extent? Four blocks? Do they still have the nerve to ask for reinforcements? "Perfect felt like his brain was going to break again. What was going on every day? !
But remembering the consequences of his previous emotions being affected, while forcing himself to calm down, Purficott also activated alchemy to make a crown for himself and put it on his head. Forced calm down.
"Put the flying knights on standby and mobilize a cavalry regiment from the Guards. I want to go to the lower city in person." After calming down, Perfectcott felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind this. It shouldn't be like this. It just happened that it all happened together.
So she decided to see for herself whether this was another conspiracy of a heretical sect, or if there were other hidden secrets.
At the same time, Purficott also looked at the two heads of the intelligence department who had not yet left, and said to them: "Deploy your most elite intelligence personnel to investigate. I want to find out all this. The whole story.”
