Wei En and Vincent rode their horses into the town. It was quiet and quiet, with only the sound of people coming from the direction of the square. They came to the square, tied up their horses, and got into the crowd.

There were many people around the square, including many women, children and the elderly. It seemed that all the residents of the town had gathered here. Wei En looked towards the center of the square and saw a long wooden stake standing on the square, with ropes tied to it.

A young man, with a haggard appearance and ragged clothes, must have suffered a lot. There were layers of firewood around his feet. Next to him stood two men wearing black hoods, holding torches in their hands. It looked like

He was the executioner. In front of the man stood a priest in black, holding a Bible in his hand and muttering something, probably praying. It seemed that there was still some time before the execution.

Wei En looked around and saw an old man standing next to him, and asked: "Uncle, what crime did that man commit to deserve to be burned alive?"

The old man glanced at him and didn't answer. Vincent took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it over: "Uncle, we are traveling businessmen. We haven't returned to the capital for a long time. I don't know what happened in the capital recently.

What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers guarding the bridge?"

The old man took the silver coin and whispered: "There has been a big event in the royal capital recently. I heard that there is a plague. All roads leading to the royal city have been blocked. Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed."

"Plague? What plague?" Vincent asked in surprise.

The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know, anyway, it is a very severe plague. It seems that many people have died."

Vincent frowned and stopped talking. Wei En continued: "What about this man? What crime has he committed?"

"Then I'm not sure, but the priest just said that this person escaped from some isolation point privately, so he needs to be executed on the spot."

Wei En turned to Vincent and asked: "What is the isolation point?"

"I don't know." Vincent shook his head.

The old man said: "You young people, get out of here quickly, don't accidentally risk your life."

Vincent and Wei En thanked each other in unison, but did not comment on the old man's suggestion. Seeing their indifferent expressions, the old man sighed, shook his head and said, "Oh, you don't care about your life to make money."

Wei En asked quietly: "What should I do?"

Vincent said: "What should I do?"

"Even if you escaped from prison without permission, you shouldn't be burned alive. What's more, just escaping from some isolation point, this is too lawless."

"The church has always done things this way. I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid we can't save that person just by ourselves." Vincent smiled bitterly.

Wei En rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe we should try it."

Vincent said: "Don't be ridiculous, this is no joke."

"Why don't you try it?" A voice came from behind.

The two of them were startled and turned around, only to see Mr. Xiao standing behind them, staring at them with bright eyes. Behind him stood a smiling old man, it was Max.

Wei En's mind was racing and he asked, "Why are you here too?"

Mr. Xiao said with a calm expression: "Come and take a look like you guys. The church actually performs burning executions here, which is getting more and more outrageous. Wei En, don't you want to ask clearly to see what crime that person has committed?"

Wei En thought about it, although he didn't know Mr. Xiao's true identity, but looking at the graceful temperament in his movements, a blind man could understand that he was not an ordinary person. He then said slowly: "Since Mr. Xiao also has this idea, then I will go

It’s okay to ask…”

"Mr. Xiao, forgive me for being rude, but if you want to know the reason, why don't you ask yourself?" Vincent suddenly said.

Mr. Xiao still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "If you don't want to try it, then let's go back and hurry up so as not to waste time."

Vincent and Wei En looked at each other. Although they knew that Mr. Xiao was using provoking methods, neither of them could say anything about turning around and going back. Wei En gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go ask, but before I go there,

, I need to borrow something from Mr. Xiao first."

In the center of the square, the priest's prayer had ended. The young man who was tied to a wooden stake had a face as stiff as bronze, and his eyes were dim under his messy hair. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "I'm not sick, you can't burn me."

Kill me, you can't burn me to death."

The priest closed the Bible, nodded to the executioner, and prepared for execution. Suddenly, a man behind him shouted, "Wait a minute!"

The priest turned around and saw a young man walking over quickly. This man was dressed in ordinary clothes, with thick eyebrows, black hair and black eyes. He did not look like a local. He frowned and said, "What do you want?"

Wei En walked up to the priest with a friendly smile on his face: "Dear priest, I am a passerby. Today, here, I can witness this solemn and sacred fire torture and see the glory of God coming.

As a devout descendant of God, it is such an honor for me, as a devout descendant of God, to bring eternal relief to sinful souls in mortals."

The priest was shocked and said: "Very good, listen to the Lord's teaching..."

Wei En did not let the priest finish, and continued: "Lord, you are high and omnipresent. Through your great apostle, this priest delivers your gospel to us ignorant people, who live in ignorance, confusion and

How much the people in the sinful world need your teachings. Lord, if I didn’t have to support my eighty-year-old mother, I would be willing to accept this extremely sacred punishment of fire to wash away the sins in my body.”

The priest didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Believer, you should go to the church to repent. If you are willing, I can worship for you in person."

Wei En said hurriedly: "Dear priest, thank you for your kind teaching. Your voice is so peaceful, like hearing a hymn. I feel holiness and kindness, selflessness and brightness..."

The three Vincents who had already squeezed to the front of the crowd felt that their hair was standing on end and their skin was covered with goosebumps when they listened to Wei En's endless flattery. Vincent whispered: "

Gentlemen, if Wei En angers the priest and something happens to him, I have to rescue him. Carmen and the others will leave it to you first. I am very grateful."

Mr. Xiao said: "That's no problem. I guarantee you their safety."

Max suppressed a smile on his old face and said: "Vincent, have some confidence in your brother, let us wait and see what happens."

The priest was annoyed by Wei En's endless chatter, but this man kept sending out big hats without saying a word, and he couldn't help himself, so he had no choice but to say: "What on earth is the matter with you?"

"Mr. Father, I was late just now. Can you kindly tell me why the burning is carried out here? What crime has this person committed? Are they the rebellious heretics?"

"No, this person's family members got the Black Death, and the whole family was sent to the isolation point. According to the instructions of the Bishop, the Black Death is caused by the devil from hell who is causing trouble in the world, and no mercy can be given. If anyone escapes from the isolation point privately,

He was bewitched by the devil and tried to spread death to all parts of the kingdom. As long as the dioceses caught the escapees, they would immediately be burned on the spot and use the holy fire to eliminate the temptation of the devil. If you look carefully at this man, under the skin of his neck,

Black spots have appeared, which is a sign of the Black Death. Within three days, he will have a high fever and die."

"That's it." Wei En said with a sigh.

The priest said seriously: "Okay, believer, you already know the reason, so just go to the side and watch. You have already wasted a lot of time."

Wei En's smile faded, he came close to the priest, handed an item to him, and said mysteriously: "Father, please take a look."

The priest frowned and took a light black waistband from Wei En's hand. This thing was neither gold nor iron. It was made of unknown metal. It had a clear pattern on it, and a word was printed in the middle of the pattern.

"shaw" is exactly the badge worn by Mr. Xiao. After reading this, the priest stretched his eyebrows and squeezed out a smile: "Your Excellency, are you from the Xiao Mansion?"

"I don't dare, I'm a purchaser from Xiao Mansion."

"Well." The priest changed his belt card to Wei En: "What can I do for you?"

"I have something to discuss with the priest. If it succeeds, it will be a mutually beneficial matter." Wei En said with a smile.

"you say."

"There is a plague in the city now. I was ordered to go out of the city to buy some medicine that can treat it. As a result, I really found some special medicine this time. It is said that the medicine can cure the disease and is absolutely good medicine."

The priest asked with interest: "Then if you don't hurry up and send the medicine back to Xiao Mansion, why are you here?"

"What the priest doesn't know is that I spent a lot of silver coins on these special medicines. If the medicine is effective, I will have done a great service. If it is not effective, it will be a serious crime of dereliction of duty. The Xiao Mansion will never spare me at this time."

After saying that, he put on a bitter look on his face.

Mr. Xiao smiled when he saw it, and turned around and said, "Max, this man's demeanor is really similar to that of General Domenig." Max nodded and smiled.

The priest said: "Oh, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, can you postpone the execution of the fire first? Since this person has been contaminated by the Black Death and will definitely die, can you let me try my special medicine first? If it works, I will return home with confidence. If it doesn't work, then

There’s no need for me to go back to the city and continue looking for medicine, haha.”

"Well," the priest said, "it's not very good."

Wei En smiled and said: "I know my request is not appropriate, but we can work around it. In this way, Mr. Father," Wei En's voice was lowered so that only the two of them could hear: "If the medicine works, I will give it to you."

Some, if it doesn’t work, I will also take out silver coins as a thank you gift, what do you think?”

The priest was immediately moved. The silver coins could be put aside. The key was the special medicine. Its allure was undeniable. The Black Death was so severe that even clergy would die in misery. If there really was such a life-saving medicine, then

Sharing a little bit is a great thing.

Wei En continued: "Father, to tell you the truth, the amount of medicine is not large. Even the bishop may not be able to share much."

The priest walked back and forth a few steps, thought about it for a long time, stopped suddenly, and said seriously: "Okay, you go give him medicine and see how it works."

"It takes one night after taking the medicine to see the effect."

"Just one night, you go get the medicine and I'll make arrangements here." The priest said, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Wei En."

"Mr. Wei'en, this is no joke. You must not take it lightly, otherwise the Lord may really do what you want and let you share the light of His holy fire." The priest said solemnly.

Wei En smiled and said: "Father, in the final analysis, I am just a businessman. Am I going to do a loss-making business?"

Next, Wei En and the other two rode back to the convoy. On the way, Mr. Xiao asked: "Wei En, do you really have a cure for the Black Death?"

Wei En said: "No."

"Then if you delay like this, you are just delaying that person's death and it will not help."

"Not now," Wei En smiled: "But I can make it now."

When everyone returned to the convoy, everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked questions. Wei En said: "Ask Vincent, what do I have to do now?" He climbed into the caravan, took off the curtain behind the car hood, and said: "Vincent

Special, please help me guard and don't let anyone disturb me before I come out."

Vincent said: "Okay, just do it and be careful."
