This is also true. The three Vanderlin brothers were seen flying into the crowd like falcons. At the moment of rising and falling, they grabbed several figures and returned, throwing them into the open space in front of the castle.
Seeing someone being arrested, the crowd was in commotion again, but under the eager gaze of the three Vanderlin brothers and the pressure of the surrounding guards armed with weapons, no one dared to act rashly.
The people at the bottom in the Middle Ages were still very simple. If no one had provoked them, the situation today would not have happened at all.
"Why are you arresting me?"
"Yes, why should we arrest people..."
As the four arrested people made excuses like scoundrels, the crowd rioted again.
"Hmph! Don't you know why we arrested you? Tell me, who instigated you to incite the people to cause trouble? You are all subjects of the Burns family, and you dare to offend your lord. According to the laws of the kingdom, this is already a serious crime.
!”
Butler Tang En asked angrily.
After hearing these words, the people nearby couldn't help but become suspicious.
Looking back, it is true that these people were the first to speak up and say weird things every time.
"You're talking nonsense..."
Before the four people could argue, the guards behind them severely suppressed their hands and fell to their knees. Then they saw John, dressed in a hunting suit, walking up to the four people and asking them a few questions.
As soon as the first one opened his mouth, John said directly: "This one should be a spy."
The next one just answered two sentences.
John: "You lied!"
Turn your head away from this person and try the next one.
But before the other party spoke, John pointed directly at him and said, "This is the same."
Arrived at the last one.
"The Burns lackey..."
The simple-looking young man sighed and looked at John without fear.
When John looked at this man, he did not immediately label him as a spy.
"This man is not lying. He should not be the same as the other three, but he seems to have a lot of resentment towards the Burns family."
In a matter of minutes, John pointed out the situation of the four people one by one. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, each of them said less than two sentences, and even before one of them even looked at his mouth, he could tell that the other party had different opinions.
People who lie will have different changes in their expressions and heartbeats. Under spiritual vision, John can easily see details that others cannot notice. Although it may not be completely accurate, as a police officer in the Criminal Investigation Department, he is still very experienced in this.
.
In addition to the three who had ulterior motives, another young man who seemed relatively simple participated spontaneously and had obviously been dissatisfied with the Burns family for a long time.
Naturally, Butler Tang En would not have a good look towards such a spy. He waved his hand and ordered:
"Press them into the dungeon, take this one with them, and give them a good meal."
Tang En didn't care whether the young man was innocent or not. In his opinion, just being hostile to the Burns family was a sin in itself.
"yes!"
The guards behind them immediately suppressed the four people upon receiving the order.
Then the old housekeeper stood up and announced loudly:
“Now that the troublemaking spies have been caught, you people should stick to your duties. You must know that it was the great Burns family that protected your ancestors from wild beasts and bandits for hundreds of years.
With a stable life now, the master has invited the famous Dr. Swick, who has developed a cure for the plague and will treat everyone here later."
Steward Tang En's words completely convinced the troubled citizens. Now that there was hope of curing the plague, their original anger dissipated and they gathered in front of the castle like a flock of sheep managed by a shepherd dog.
With everyone watching, a few strong male servants have moved a marble fountain pool that can fit three people in front of the castle. The previous owner of the castle spent a lot of money to customize and transport it back from the craftsmen in the south. It was originally
Installed in the castle garden.
Now Butler Tang En ordered people to move it here, because there is no big pot like John requested in the Earl's Mansion, and the largest one is only two feet in diameter. This fountain pool should be regarded as the largest container.
John stepped forward and looked at the flower-shaped fountain pool that blocked the hole.
"It should be enough. Get some water and fill it up with clean water."
Because the plague seemed to only target humans and animals, the castle's water source was not contaminated, and the pool was soon filled with clean water brought in large wooden barrels.
John chanted the name of the great Father of Nature and began to perform the ritual of purifying and avoiding poison.
Under John's sermon during the previous preparations, these people in the territory followed the praise of the Father of Nature with suspicion. After all, these ancient people were very superstitious about religion. Fortunately, the Burns Territory is at the northernmost point of the kingdom and belongs to the bitter cold region.
This land is far away from the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of Thorns, the world's mainstream religion, in the prosperous areas of the south, and people do not have the same atmosphere of fanaticism as in the south.
Otherwise, some believers might have picked up John and sent him to the church to be burned at the stake for preaching strange gods.
With the previous experience, coupled with the fact that his own strength has improved to a higher level after undergoing the baptism of the five-party refining method, John feels that he can treat hundreds of people at once.
Perhaps because he knew that doing so would bring a lot of benefits to the world, his natural pan-consciousness quickly reduced his power, and the pool of clear water turned into holy water that sparkled in the sun.
"this!"
"This is a miracle!"
"Could it be the legendary holy water..."
…
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and even many of the castle guards opened their mouths in shock.
Because the Church of Thorns has not shown any miracles for many years, the people in this world are very weak in their faith. To them, the appearance of this miraculous scene is like rain after a long drought, and they compete with chickens competing for food one by one.
Like ducks swarming over.
"Back off, back off..."
Soldiers held spears to suppress the crowd.
Butler Tang En had already arranged two rows of guards to hold down the formation, and then sent two maids to take the water in wooden cups and distribute it to the crowd. Then he let the citizens who had already been unable to restrain themselves line up to drink the holy water.
Before those who had finished drinking had time to reflect, they would be taken to another open space by the guards, and most of them vomited gray-green mucus on the spot, which was the plague virus that had been killed and excreted from the body.
When everyone saw that this holy water could really have an immediate effect in curing this plague, both those who had been infected with the plague and those who had not been infected were all excited. Fortunately, there were guards suppressing it, so there was no crushing or stampeding incident.
.
"Don't crowd, don't grab, everyone has a share..."
The crowd did not riot under the pressure of the guards who raised their voices.
Everyone lined up excitedly.
When Butler Tang An saw that the situation was completely under control, he couldn't help but come up to thank John.
"Thousands of people can almost control the epidemic by taking a small sip each. From now on, I will distribute such a holy water in front of the castle every day for everyone to drink for free. I don't believe that the mastermind behind the scenes will be able to hold back and not jump out.
."
John thought that since the other party could so quickly arrange for people to instigate the residents to riot and threaten the Burns family, it was obvious that they were impatient.
The effect of his enlarged version of the ceremony was equivalent to draining the bottom of the cauldron and disrupting all the plans of the mastermind behind the scenes. It will be up to the Burns family to find out what clues they can from those people.
