Chapter 258 Mobilizing the Civilians
"Because he has money on his body and refuses to give us, and he curses those of us who believe in the magic deer god as heretics, and should be thrown into the boiling oil pan in hell to suffer..."

Listening to the poor man's answer, Ji'an couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that this was not a special attack on Christians, but for the sake of caution, he continued to ask: "Have you done similar things before? "

"No, we only did this once." This question was really a proposition, and everyone nervously denied it, for fear that the master knight in front of him would think he was a repeat offender and cut him off on the spot.

Regarding their answers, although Ji'an would not believe them directly, he still did not make a verdict on several prisoners on the spot, but ordered Knechteng's servants and soldiers to escort these people back to the city lord's mansion for trial.

The patrol wasn't very fruitful, but it was off to a good start.Jian can only comfort himself in his heart like this.

However, in the next few days, violent incidents against Christians occurred from time to time. Every victim who was attacked was found covered in blood by passers-by. A note written in blood read: "Christians get out of our city".

After seeing these notes, the entire city lord's palace was boiling. Not only the members of the Teutonic Knights were angry, but the officials and guards were also angry. They loudly accused the attackers of their barbaric behavior and demanded that the city defense army and the knights A search was carried out throughout the city to catch those barbaric heretics.

However, Amata, who is the governor, doesn't think this is a good method. Reason in his heart overwhelms anger and has the upper hand.He knew that these notes were a provocation to them, in order to deliberately arouse the anger of Christian officials, make them make wrong decisions, and give the heretics a chance to operate.

"Gentlemen, please calm down and listen to me." Amata walked up to the crowd and said loudly, "I know you are very angry at the barbaric acts of heretics, and I (wo) are the same, I even I can’t wait to lead my subordinates to find the hideout of the perpetrator and send them to hell to be tortured by the devil. But I can’t do this, once we lose our reason and make wrong choices, we will fall into the enemy’s trap!”

"Think about it, if we let soldiers search for criminals throughout the city, how much panic it will cause! Most of the citizens in the entire city of Menba believe in the Magic Deer God. What if criminals take advantage of this time to spread rumors or incite stupidity? If civilians attack the government, we will be cornered!"

"At that time, we will not only be enemies of criminals, we may be enemies of Dalits in the whole city!"

As soon as Amata's words came out, everyone in the venue exclaimed. They didn't think of this level, and now they heard Amata's point out, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

"So how should we respond?" one official asked.

"Show their atrocities in front of the citizens of the whole city, and let the citizens see the truth of the matter!" Amata said firmly.

……

"Citizens of Mengba City, please gather around and look at our poor compatriots!"

The next day, in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, several scarred corpses were neatly placed on a high platform, and beside the corpses stood several officials and heavily armed spear militiamen in charge of guarding.

Such a strange combination attracted the attention of many passing civilians, and the words shouted by the officials also attracted more civilians to surround them.People looked at the corpses neatly placed on the high platform and whispered.

"Citizens of Mengba City, I think you all want to know the origin of these corpses." The tall and thin official said loudly, "They were attacked because of their religious beliefs in the past few days. Christians, the assailants were extremely cruel, savage and brutal, they beat these law-abiding Christians to death, and left a line written in blood on the corpses!"

"Christians get out of our cities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. Both Christians and Dalits showed expressions of astonishment. Among them, the Christians reacted most violently. They didn't know what they had done and were about to be driven out of their own growth. city ​​of.

"Citizens of Mumbai City, only barbarians can do this kind of thing. People in any civilized country will feel angry about this and feel pity for these Christians who died unfortunately. We should oppose these extreme violent elements , they are the ones who should get out of this city the most, not the law-abiding Christians who also live in Mumba!"

"Yes! The murderer gets out of Mengba City!"

"Christ's people should not be treated like this!"

"..."

There was a loud protest from the crowd of onlookers. They clenched their fists and raised their hands high to jointly condemn the murderers who killed innocent civilians. Taking advantage of this general environment, the official who gave the speech stretched out his hands and then pressed them down. The scene gradually gradually It fell silent, and everyone stared at the official with wide eyes, anticipating what words would come out of his mouth.

"Citizens, I understand your feelings very well. We will continue to track down this group of cruel barbarians. Whether it is the city defense army or the Teutonic Knights, we will do our best. But citizens, even if they are full of wisdom Even wise men can't find the thrown stones in the vast sea, we need the help of all citizens!"

"What should we do?" a commoner asked loudly, and was echoed by many others.

"The City Lord's Mansion will set up a civilian mutual protection team!" said the official, his sharp eyes swept over everyone in the field, "I hope everyone will actively participate and patrol the streets spontaneously. Once similar attacks are found, please Report to the nearby patrol team immediately!"

After finishing the words, he added: "Any citizen who participates in the arrest of the murderer will receive a bonus from the City Lord's Mansion after the murderer is caught!"

"hiss--"

If the previous speeches were intended to arouse people's anger and allow the citizens to fight together to catch the murderer, then the reward proposed at the end is to motivate the citizens and make them more motivated.

This is also the content of Dutong Amata's plan, and the results of the implementation are not unexpected. The citizens of Mengba City have been greatly mobilized.For a while, patrol members with cloth strips tied to their left arms can often be seen on the street to distinguish their identities. They watch people passing by vigilantly, as if they can judge the identities hidden behind the other party with their naked eyes.

The law and order, which has gradually deteriorated since Richard finished his tour here, has improved unprecedentedly again. No one dares to do illegal things at this time, because it is a dead end.

　Thank you lancelot_all for the reward, the boss is generous, I wish the boss good health and all the best, every year there is today, every year there is today
