Chapter 55: Sentencing
In a manor in the town of Holguin, the floor was covered with expensive wool carpets, and servants carried silver trays with various foods to the banquet.
The band was playing dance music. A dozen dancers, dressed in light gauze, twisted their waists and danced briskly on the carpet. Their charming eyebrows glanced provocatively at the guests sitting on the carpet from time to time.
Compared with the ceremony to welcome the Sheriff, the formation here is much larger.
Sitting cross-legged on the main seat is a Hindu with gray hair. His body is still strong, calmly holding a glass of ale and drinking. Sitting beside him are four other Hindus, all of them pampered.
Eat the food on the plate with your hands.
All five candidate members are here. After the original five members were killed, they quickly accepted the legacy of the former member and expanded their wealth. It may not be a big deal in the city of Avonigda, but in the town of Holguin
He is already a first-class big shot.
"So you guys just talk about your brick factory?"
Sushant asked. He was the most powerful among the five and ruthless. Legend has it that some of the family members of the five former congressmen survived the massacre and were executed by his men.
"Yes...yes, we just chatted for a few words and he let me go."
There was an ice basin next to the carpet, and the large chunks of solid ice were letting out the cold air to lower the room temperature, but even so, Sandy still felt a burst of heat.
"Sandy!"
A fat congressman candidate slapped his palm on the carpet, knocking over the silver plate, and the juice inside splashed all over Sandy.
"Do you think we are fools?"
"Calm down, Saluba, I believe that Sandy candidate is a man of judgment and will not make stupid and regrettable choices." Sushant drank all the ale in the glass and motioned for a servant to come up and help him.
Sandy wiped the stain.
"Of course... of course... Mr. Sushant."
Sandy was so frightened that she didn't even dare to sweat. She froze and let the beautiful maid wipe her clothes.
"It is said that the sheriff brought two beautiful women to take office?" Another candidate, Selim, paid attention to something different from other members. He hugged the slave girl in his arms: "Speaking of which, Orissa
The Xia women are so ugly. It would be great if I could have a taste of those two women."
"It's just a Western Xia man, not an Eastern Xia man. Send two men to kill him tonight. If Selim wants a woman, the two Xia women will be left to him as female slaves. We have a plan for the Barritt family.
Isn’t that what your sons and daughters do?”
Saluba tore off a large piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Barit was one of the former MPs killed by Mahadev.
The two remaining candidates, Eleanor and Taber, were somewhat dissatisfied with Sushant's mobilization and lack of interest.
They operate a horse farm and a cattle farm respectively, and own thousands of livestock. Because they do not live in the town of Holguin, they did not get much in the carnival of carving up the former congressman's property.
While the five of them were having a banquet with their own ulterior motives, Sushant's housekeeper suddenly stumbled in.
"Sir Sushant, what's wrong, all the priests in the town have been arrested by the new police officer, and they are going to be shot in the square in front of the town!"
The butler's face turned pale and he was out of breath. He was obviously frightened.
"What!"
Sushant stood up immediately. He was so shocked that he stepped on the dinner plate in front of him and almost slipped.
The other candidates were also shocked, and Sandy was so frightened that he peed his pants.
In the jurisdiction of Orissa, there is no one among them who are of moderate wealth who does not believe in the Lord of Souls. Even if they do not believe in him, they still pretend to believe in him.
The Panchayat Assembly only pretends to govern the Orissa area, and the real ruler here is always the Soul Order.
"How is it possible! How dare that sheriff? And he has only been in Holguin Town for less than a day. How could he catch those distinguished priests so quickly!"
Sushant said in a hoarse voice that they cannot afford the wrath of the Soul Order.
Saluba picked up Sandy's collar and lifted him up.
"You! Did you! betray the priest's residence to that damned magistrate?!"
"No...really...really not...I didn't."
The smelly urine dripped along Sandy's trouser legs and onto the carpet. He swallowed his excuses and almost cried.
"Let's go! Stop that damn Sheriff first!"
Sushant came to his senses and said in a panic.
At this time, the square in Holguin Town was already crowded with people, far exceeding the number of people who came to welcome Li Mu on the day he took office.
Among the crowd, there were believers of the Lord of Souls with angry faces, others watched blankly, and even some were secretly happy.
The priests of the Soul Religion are naturally not ascetics, and quite a few of them can be said to be standard villains. They make money first and preach the gospel second. There are also many hooligans and idle people who pretend to be devout to the Lord of Souls and take advantage of the opportunity to help others.
They seized land, lent money to collect debts, opened casinos, and broke people's families. They accumulated a lot of public anger. But in the Orissa jurisdiction, if anyone dares to express dissatisfaction with the Soul Order, he will be hanged at least the next day.
On the tree.
People dare not speak out when they are angry, they can only follow the road with their eyes.
Now, the priests of the Soul Order in Holguin Town and their lackeys were kneeling in a row in the square with their hands tied behind their backs.
They spewed obscene words and cursed Li Mu crazily.
Li Mu held the sword in his hand and slashed with it. The sharp edge of the knife passed by, and the head of the Hindu man who cursed the most fiercely slid off his neck like a ripe fruit.
There was a burst of exclamation from the onlookers.
The moment the blood spurted out, all the priests fell silent. Even at the previous moment, the priests believed that the sheriff did not dare to actually kill anyone, and that this was just a way for him to negotiate with the Soul Cult.
"The Lord of Souls has been watching us. If you dare to slaughter His lamb, He will bring disaster on your head. Your soul will gradually decay, your flesh and blood will give birth to maggots, and the most painful death is waiting.
you!"
One of the believers was chanting, and Li Mu waited until he finished reciting all the prayers before slashing him to death.
"When I dragged him out of the woman, he didn't look like a priest at all. A false believer became a fanatic under my knife. The Lord of Souls should thank me."
Li Mu glanced at the source of matter numbers popping up on his retina, shook off the blood on the blade, and said to the remaining priests.
The priests trembled. They had never seen such a bold person.
