When Xu Siling returned home yesterday, she asked Terry to arrange for people to rush to find the clansman who was still in charge of the executioner's duties in Tamubao.
Fei'er didn't know what the current situation was in Tamubao, and he, Xu Siling, didn't know either.
It is impossible for him to take Mayfair and step into other people's territory at will. It is not strange for friction and hatred among nobles in the Middle Ages to lead to war.
Although Dar Khamis has always had a good relationship with Raya Town, it was also established when Johns was there.
Now that Johns is gone and Mayfair is in charge, many things will change.
What's more, this kind of aristocrat who has no brains and will not listen to advice, and must carry out some kind of witch hunt, Xu Siling thinks that Khamis will be an invisible bomb.
Xu Siling wanted to know what was going on in Tamubao.
Anyway, there are still people from the Frofen family staying in Tamubao, so it's better to catch them quickly than to catch them quickly.
After chatting with Fei'er yesterday, Xu Siling told Terry to do it. It wasn't because of Jocasta's disappearance that he arranged it.
"Come and chat."
Falina quickly put down her work and wanted to pass the towel in her arms to Xu Siling.
Unexpectedly, Ella was already prepared in the main room. As soon as the door opened, Ella took the weapon very familiarly and handed a clean and warm towel to Xu Siling's hand.
This speed made Farina freeze on the spot.
"Finish the chat earlier, the hot water is ready."
Ella didn't stay too long, but after the warning, she glanced at Falina lightly as if nothing happened.
Farina met Ella's emotionless gaze and smiled strangely.
Xu Siling didn't notice this detail at all and just took the towel to wipe the sweat on his face.
Terry came to him with a strange look on his face.
"The person who arranged it is back, and the situation in Tamubao is a bit delicate."
"Is it about Khamis or a witch hunt?"
"It doesn't count, of course, it can be said that they are all related."
"It's better not to say what you said and to get to the point."
Terry blinked his lips and said slowly: "Didn't you send a letter to Lord Hamis before? The tribesmen who stayed in Tamubao heard that after receiving the letter, Lord Hamis originally wanted to reply normally, and even he didn't Knowing that his people went to the territory of Raya Town to arrest people, he also wanted to release the people captured from Raya Town. After all, it would be unreasonable to speak out about other people's noble people across the territory, but... "
"Just nothing."
"It's just that Lord Hamis listened to someone's words, and then got angry and burned the reply, and accelerated the process of witch hunting."
Xu Siling wiped off the sweat and threw the towel to the servant. He rubbed his chin and thought.
"It seems that the witch hunt was not something that Khamis decided to do. There are other people behind this matter who are fueling the waves."
"After a little inquiry, it seems to be related to the people who moved to Tamubao before."
Xu Siling signaled Terry with her eyes to continue.
"It's a Jew."
As soon as the word "Jew" came out, Xu Siling's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.
He has an innate resistance to people of this race.
No wonder Terry's expression was a little strange.
Xu Siling didn't need to say it out loud about how bad the reputation of the Jews was. People in Europe were talking about it privately.
In fact, Judaism and the Holy Religion have a close relationship.
In 250 BC, Ptolemy II presided over the Jewish translation of the Old Testament into Greek.
After that, the Jews began to combine Greek philosophy with Judaism. They would use the philosophical knowledge of Plato, Aristotle and others to explain Jewish religious classics.
Then the teachings of Judaism actually gradually became Hellenized, which laid the foundation for the formation of subsequent holy religions.
Therefore, the Jews were originally the predecessors of Christianity, but now they have become heretics.
Jews have very strong religious beliefs, and they are determined not to change their beliefs easily. Under such circumstances, the holy religious countries can only use high pressure, blockade, expulsion and other methods to deal with the Jews.
It is true that Jews are good at business and most of them are relatively wealthy.
And their loan sharking has been going on for hundreds of years. The hatred behind the loan sharking cannot be easily eliminated.
In the final analysis, there are still differences between the teachings of the Holy Religion and Judaism.
The reason why Judaism lends money is because the holy religion prohibits saints from lending money for interest. After the Cluny Movement, there were regulations prohibiting monasteries and clergy from engaging in the lending industry.
As for the Jewish people themselves, the Jews cannot lend money to their compatriots, but they can lend money to people of different religious beliefs.
Therefore, the people of various countries in Europe in the Middle Ages, including the nobles, could not borrow money from the church, and the nobles were not rich, so the saints began to borrow money from the Jews.
At that time, the lending industry was not standardized and was not well managed by the rulers. Not to mention that the only group that could lend money was the Jews, and other people did not have many other options.
Either don't lend, or accept Jewish usury.
There are only two options.
You must know that if usury is not managed, especially if there are no more choices, it is possible for the Jews to raise usury as high as they want.
Jews lend money to a wide range of people, from almost all walks of life. Kings, archbishops, bishops, abbots, dukes and nobles, city citizens, and farmers are all the people who lend money to Jews.
But here's the strange thing.
How could Khamis listen to a Jew?
"Evil things about witches are being spread in Tamubao, and they are deliberately pointed at them. I heard that the witch hunts are also led by Jews behind the scenes."
"What do the people of Tamubao think?"
"What can you think?" Terry spread his hands, "The Black Death is raging, and our Frofen family also fled from the south. Our whole family is uneasy about this disease, not to mention those guys in Tamubao. Now there are We have no one to vent our emotions to, and everyone hates witches. If there hadn’t been some witch trial, the women who were caught in Tamubao would have been cut into pieces by the people of Tamubao.”
Due to social environmental problems, most of the executioners lived alone and did not believe in religion. Their personal hygiene was very good and they had little contact with others, so the chance of contracting the Black Death was not high.
Now that I have met Xu Siling, with the help of the decoction, the people of the Fulofen family naturally have no health problems.
It's just that the people of Tamubao must have suffered a lot.
However, the news brought by Terry also proved that although Jocasta was captured, he was not in danger yet.
Xu Siling turned around and told Farina about it. Farina was relieved to hear the news.
"Xu, when you go to Tamubao this time, you have to be careful. Those Jews are a bit evil."
"I know." Xu Siren felt strange. "It's strange that Jews can get together with Khamis. You know, everyone doesn't like Jews."
"Yes, even Tamubao is quite tolerant of Jews."
Xu Siling has a natural understanding of the Jews. The Jews are a group that is particularly good at controlling public opinion. If they control the thoughts of the supreme ruler of a certain area, the local people will also be brainwashed under the guidance of the Jews to prevent the people from criticizing them. Jews are resistant.
Xu Siling took it for granted, knowing that this kind of thing would happen a lot in the future.
"Terry, the wandering nation, is that all."
"That's all for now. Although the executioner has direct contact with the witch hunting operation, he cannot contact more people and can only eavesdrop."
Xu Siling responded, and then asked Terry to take care of the travel staff's affairs carefully.
I thought it was Khamis who had a brain cramp, so he slapped his butt and decided to launch a witch hunt, but he didn't expect that there was a Jewish shadow behind it.
Then he must take this trip seriously, who knows what the purpose of the Jews is.
Jews are very determined in their goals and will not get up early if there is no benefit.
Seeing that Luo Shui and Vali were idle, Xu Siling thought of something and asked them to dig out Finny's equipment from the ground.
This almost made him forget.
Finney was the knight who helped Faile deliver the letter at that time, and it was he who handed Faile the certificate of nomination. Finney's equipment can be said to be excellent.
In order to chop off Finny's head, he smashed Finny's plate and chain armor to pieces, making it useless.
However, the chainmail robe and other parts of the chain mail, as well as the two-handed sword are still in good condition and can still be used after cleaning and maintenance.
No matter how rich the people of the Frofen family are, they cannot afford ten sets of armor.
Xu Siling asked Luo Shui and Vali to dig it out, clean and maintain it, and take it to Terry for arrangement.
After making arrangements, he took a shower and headed to Raya Town.
He wanted to tell Faile about Tamburg and the Jews.
Not long after going to Raya Town, Xu Siling came back.
After Mayfair learned about the situation in Tamubao and the things about the Jews, she didn't particularly care.
As a European aristocrat, I have a deep-seated contempt for Jews.
Mayfair naturally looked down upon the Jews, and did not even think that the Jews could make a difference. Even if there were Jewish shadows behind the witch hunts and Khamis, she had nothing to fear.
Regarding the fact that Khamis was led by the Jews, Mayfair sneered and looked down upon him, deepening her impression of Khamis as a dull and stupid old guy.
Thinking about it, there is really no need for Mayfair to care too much.
She went to Talmuburg to participate in the witch trials for three main purposes.
One is to help her knight executioner lover sell MSG, and the other is to show the successful prevention work of Raya Town in the face of the Black Death, and by the way prove that she is a saint inspired by God.
The third is to protect the women of Raya Town who were captured by Tamubao.
On this trip, in order to promote MSG, Fei'er borrowed the banquet hall in Tamubao and invited aristocratic acquaintances to come to Tamubao to attend the banquet.
In order to let more people witness the witch trials, Hamis also invited many nobles to come.
In front of so many nobles, if Fei'er could not protect her people, she would lose a lot of face.
Although the matter was very important, it did not make Feier feel much pressure.
That Khamis can be led around by lowly Jews proves his stupidity.
The Jews even looked down upon them. If they dared to stand up and cause trouble, they would just find a reason and kill them with a knife.
In front of so many nobles, did Khamis dare to get angry with her over the Jews?
You know, in 1182, the King of France announced the expulsion of all Jews.
In accordance with the old law, Mayer helped Khamis expel the Jews without any problems and would not even be blamed.
The Jews were fine living in the cracks of the Kingdom of France, but if you jumped out to cause trouble, you would be doing something wrong.
After Xu Siling learned about Fei'er's attitude, she naturally decided to go back, even though Fei'er obviously wanted to keep him here and wanted the two of them to stay together.
But Xu Siling couldn't bear it and ran away.
When leaving Raya Town, Xu Siling also discovered.
Raya Town once again closed its gates and no foreigners accepted asylum.
The reason is very simple, that is, Raya Town accepts too many people, which is a bit overwhelming and needs some time to digest.
Although there is no way to admit everyone into the town, some decoctions will still be used to relieve outsiders on the outskirts of the town.
These people who took refuge were very grateful.
They came all the way, and no matter which town they went to, let alone entering the city, they would be expelled if they just tried to set up tents on the outskirts of the town.
I heard that the lord of Raya Town is a saint who has been inspired by God and can cure the Black Death and also accept sick people.
Everyone came one after another. Although they did not enter the city, the actions of Laya Town undoubtedly made these outsiders grateful and hopeful.
But these people don't know that Raya Town simply lacks manpower and has some financial problems.
When Fei'er set out for Tamubao, she would definitely have to take some of the guard soldiers away. The manpower in Naraya Town would definitely be in short supply, so she couldn't bring too many manpower.
If the finances were good, she could recruit more soldiers from the people to guard the city, but she had just resumed daily production and didn't have much money to squander.
Xu Siling returned home and saw everyone busy working.
In order not to let the Frofen family think that she had nothing to do, Farina finished taking care of the herbs and started to work with the servants.
The people of the Frofen family also divided into two groups and started working.
Some of them were the people who accompanied Xu Siling on his trip to Tamubao. They had to find ways to arm themselves, and the equipment couldn't be too bad.
Some people even want to enter Raya Town and borrow farm horses from farmers to use as mounts.
The other part is working hard to decorate Xu Siling's yard.
Anyway, don’t rush to build your own house first, give priority to Xu Siling’s yard. This is also Xi Mei and Terry’s orders.
The people of the Frofen family have paid a lot for this, but they also enjoy it.
Who made Xu Siling the executioner knight? This is their 'executioner's miracle'.
Ella, on the other hand, sat at her handicraft table in the main room and began to play with strange torture instruments.
Although Xu Siling no longer has use for these torture instruments, they can still be sold to merchants, and merchants can sell the torture instruments to other nobles who do not have executioners.
On the contrary, Xu Siling was very free, and had someone to help with all the things he had to do.
Things that have nothing to do with him will not come to him without looking at them.
He was sitting on a bench in the yard, reading a book.
This comfortable life is really good.
Come night time.
Xu Siling, Ella, and Falina had dinner in the main house as usual, and after cleaning up.
Ella suddenly asked Farina.
This sentence made Xu Siling and Falina freeze on the spot.
"Farina, do you want to sleep wider or more crowded tonight?"
