I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

Lorendel is also a madman who doesn't care!

Sumujie was filled with anger and just wanted to leave this damn church, where he could only be manipulated by the other party.

Qingtian looked indifferent, watching him escape coldly, watching him being blocked by a golden holy light, and the spiritual power hidden in the holy light struck him hard, knocking him back.

Even a semi-god-level body could not withstand Qingtian's full blow without any defense. Sumujie spat out a mouthful of blood and lay half-dead on the ground.

His cronies rushed forward and surrounded him.

"Goddess, calm down!"

"Goddess forgives!"

"Viscount Lorendell! You are contemptuous of royal dignity!"

Cabinet Chief Feng Benny also stood beside Sumujie. "Crime and punishment must be based on evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. Even if you are the spokesperson of the goddess, you should not use lynching!"

Qingtian smiled gently and said, "As I said just now, this has nothing to do with me. It is God's punishment for him."

Feng Benny said with a straight face: "Even if it is a divine punishment, the feelings of believers and people should not be ignored. The goddess is benevolent and persuades people with virtue."

Gee, he is really a cunning old man.

Qingtian said: "Then imprison Sumujie in the Inquisition first, and then try him after the truth is found out."

"Great Priest Luo Ze has a good reputation. If he swears to investigate fairly and impartially, he will definitely give an explanation to the congregation."

"In addition, Sumujie has entered the Inquisition, and the goddess hopes that the high priests Luo Ze and Gerasius will handle the affairs of the temple in the future."

"..."

Everyone gasped, especially Su Mujie's close priests who were very angry.

The temple seemed harmonious on the surface, but the state religion was formed by the merger of the Divine Chosen Group, the Goddess Cult, and representatives of the nobility, and there were factions from the beginning.

Although the Chosen One faction had the upper hand after Su Mucheng came to power, there were a large number of priests of the Goddess Cult, and most of the priests joined the temple when they were young and upheld justice and benevolence.

Naturally, their behavior is different from that of the Chosen Group.

The faction headed by Luo Ze and Gerasius has always opposed the retention of the chosen ascetics and the slave trade advocated by Sumujie.

So Su Mujie did many things without telling them at first. Most of those income benefits are also divided among the factions of the Chosen Group, or are put into the treasury with profits from overseas trade.

However, after years of sugar-coating attacks, many priests have also been corrupted. Money and power have made them forget their original intention of becoming priests.

Due to this situation, Luo Ze and Gerasius had to give in and remain silent.

But now the "goddess" gives them a chance...

For a moment, the priests in the temple looked at Luo Ze and Gerasius nervously.

The stubborn and old High Priest Gerasius stroked his white beard and bowed slightly to Sunny.

"Praise the goddess, I will complete my mission!"

High Priest Luo Ze gave everyone a comforting smile.

"Don't worry too much, we will act with caution. Praise the goddess, I am willing to take on this responsibility."

Sunny's eyes flashed, Luo Ze was kind, but also tactful.

"Thank you both for your hard work."

After speaking, she specifically faced the image mirror relay and said with a serious expression:

"The state religion is the church of the goddess, a holy place that spreads love and wisdom. It is not a smuggling gang that hides filth and evil, nor a merchant of human trafficking! It is each of our priests who build schools and hospitals, guide lost souls, and care for those in need. responsibilities and ideals.”

"I believe that every believer is looking forward to a better state religion. Therefore, we must purge some of the corrupt and degenerate people in the church and give everyone an explanation!"

"During this period, the temple has set up an anonymous mailbox to accept reports and corrections from parishioners. Those who are willing to disclose their identities and report and verify that they are correct can receive bonuses. The minimum is ten gold coins, and there is no upper limit."

"..."

As expected of the person who founded Tianqing Entertainment, he is very sure of public opinion...

Luo Ze and Gerasius looked at each other, seeing full of amazement in each other's eyes.

Maybe this time, there will be big changes in the Church.

But many priests still feel that Su Mujie will not be defeated so easily. After all, he has Su Mucheng and His Majesty behind him.

……

On the other side, the manic Taslier entered the lounge and kicked everyone out.

Meili, who followed closely behind, frowned and knocked on his lounge door.

Boom boom boom!

"Get out!" Tasriel roared irritably.

"Your Majesty, it's me." Meili said softly.

After about ten seconds, Taslier opened the door with dark eyes and pulled her in.

Just as Mei Li was about to speak, the other party's shadow enveloped her.

The gorgeous dress was torn, and after her body was airborne for a moment, she was hit hard against the cold door...

Tasril's eyes were scarlet, and the suppressed emotions poured out crazily.

Mei Li endured it silently, trying her best to control her breathing and noise.

When the person hugging her gradually calmed down, she whispered: "Although Qingtian was a little too much just now, please forgive her. Her starting point is not bad. You can be a kind and wise king, so that you will not be punished by God."

Tasriel put his forehead on her chest, closed his eyes and let the chaotic breath gradually calm down.

"Do you think I'm a wise man?"

Meili raised her hand and stroked his hair, and said seriously: "You can do it. If you let go of the past, there will be a new beginning."

Tasriel raised his head, his eyes full of sneer, "Forget the past...like you are now?"

Meili's body trembled and she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Yes, she let go of the past...although she didn't forget it...

"But you always have to look forward, right? For yourself and the people you care about, some things can be endured, and some thoughts can be changed."

Taslier smiled and put her down, "She is the one I care about now."

Mei Li choked, and pain spread in her heart.

She couldn't understand Tasril's emotions, and she didn't believe that someone like him could really like anyone.

He is too selfish and only loves himself.

"Maybe you are just unwilling because you didn't get it. But forcing is just mutual torture. If you kill Lorenzo, she won't like you. If you continue to entangle, it will only go further and further."

"Tasril, you are now King Lanze, as long as you are willing to change..."

Tasriel interrupted her, "I will not change for others. My way is to follow my heart and do whatever I want."

"Even if it's just unwillingness, I have to wait until I get it before I give up."

After saying that, he put on a brand new blue dress.

"You did well today."

"It's time, I'll go to the auditorium first and you come over as soon as possible."

After Tasril left, the door was closed again, and Meili, who was standing behind the door, slowly slid down against the wall with her body in her arms.

The weakness and pain are not only in the body, but also in the heart.

But she tried her best...

Tasriel came outside the auditorium and found that the officials were not lining up to meet and swear allegiance as expected.

A guard quickly reported to him the situation at the church.

"What did you say? Viscount Laurent beat Sumujie so hard that he was taken to the Inquisition?" Taslier looked at the guard in disbelief.

"Calm down your anger. That's true. Just now you..." The guard lowered his head and did not dare to continue.

Tasriel closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and the emotions that had just returned to calm were ignited again.

sunny! You are so kind!

If Lorenzo himself doesn't come to take revenge, you'll have fun!

"Inform the court to arrange a better cell for Su Mujie, so that he can rest there for a while."

No matter what, Su Mujie was on his side, Qingtian mainly targeted him because he reported on the betrayal.

He couldn't let Qingzhen really knock Sumujie down.
