Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 3 Chapter 57: Under the Sanroni

What happened in the town of Tampla shocked the entire parish. As the territory of the Holy See, priests involved in the murder of a lord happened. This made the parish unexpected. There were all kinds of doubts. I do n’t know how many people there were. Was alarmed, for a time the diocese was full of speculations, and as the northern parish of Rome directly under the Holy See, people immediately turned their attention to the priest of the parish.

As a priest acting on behalf of the bishop, the priest in this parish is quite noticeable because the bishop is old and has been ill. In fact, the affairs of the entire diocese have been completely represented by the priest. By the way, even many people know that the priest can take over as the bishop only after the bishop is called.

The fact that Tempura happened was surprising. On the next day, the priest rushed to Tempura with someone in person. This was the first time this town had come to be such a big man.

Almost all the people in the town ran out to greet the priest, but the priest did not care about the respectful enthusiasm of the parishioners. He was anxious to know what happened, and he hoped to see the lord of Agrig immediately.

The priest still knew a lot about what happened in Rome. He knew that the order meeting led by Caesar Borgia was now in charge of Rome, and he also knew that Gombre was not only a member of the order meeting, but also Caesar's side. A very important person.

As a priest, the priest is of course quite attentive to people related to the pope, not to mention that it involves a murder and a priest.

There have never been any conspiracies in the church, and even its strangeness and cruelty are more terrible than some courts, so when the priest arrived at Temple, he was already ready to face an angry lord, and A lot of dilemmas that can't explain things at all.

However, he did not expect that when he came to Tempura, the reply he received was "the old man has left in the morning." Such unexpected news.

Alexander could not stay in Tempura all the time. In fact, he has been too long. In fact, if he looks closely, he will find that after leaving Rome because of the trouble, he did not go far at all, even if the road is clear, At this time, he should have gone to Sanroni's coal mine, and even if everything went well, he had already started to go back.

So Alexander decided to simply leave the previously wounded soldiers and continue to supervise the bridge repair while he was wounded, and he himself continued to march to Sanroni with the rest of the army.

But he still left a lot of problems for the priest. After a careful search, people were surprised to find a well-hidden secret room in the priest ’s room. When he walked into this strange secret room, he looked at the enshrined inside. When a chain of inverted crosses wrapped around with a chain, the priest cried out in horror!

At this time, Alexander was far away from Tempura.

The Sanroni Peak is located on a branch of the Apennine Mountain Range. The entire peak shows a trend of high in the south and low in the north. This is somewhat different from the trend of other peaks. It looks like it's cut apart, but it's a little bit imposing.

As the earliest coal mine in Europe, the coke mine of Sanroni has an extraordinary status in Italy. Many people even regard it as a skyfire stolen by Prometheus. These magical stones that can burn make Milan's armor even more The solidity allows the Venetians to build more nails for their warships, and also gives people from other places the opportunity to quickly dissolve the bronze using the heat generated by this stone, and then cast more brilliant artistic treasures.

Even without going under the Sanroni Peak, Alexandria had already seen three and three people carrying baskets of different sizes, staggering all the way down the mountain.

The baskets of these people were more or less filled with scattered pieces of coking coal, and when they saw Alexander's team, they immediately became nervous and inexplicable. Some people could barely pretend to be calm, while some simply threw away The basket turned and ran.

The move immediately attracted attention. The Bohemians quickly rushed to those who were panicking and wanted to escape. After a few whistles, those who wanted to escape were stopped by the Bohemians and saw riding. Surrounded by the cavalry who couldn't stop spinning on the high-headed horse, these people immediately got together and showed a fearful look in their eyes.

"What happened," Alexander slowly led the horse forward. He motioned to the Bohemians to make way, and then slowly passed by those people. "Who are you, why should you run away?"

No one answered. Everyone looked at him with dreadful eyes. When he passed by, they immediately lowered their heads, as if afraid of being found.

A seemingly small person caught Alexander's attention. This person had a big basket around him, which didn't seem to match his thin body.

Alexander drove the horse to the man's body and bent slightly to pick up the coarse hood on his head with the whip in his hand.

There was a scream, and the man raised his head in horror, revealing the unexpected woman's face.

"A woman," the group of people also seemed to be surprised that there would be a woman in their companion, they stared at the woman in anger, and others shouted "No wonder she was always alone, never staying with us , How could there be a woman, this must be the anger she brought. "

This statement aroused the approval of others. Everyone glared at the woman, as if they were caught because of the woman.

"Shut up, you stupid pigs!"

Carlo cursed loudly, and since hanging the village chief in Tampla ’s village, Carlo and his Agri soldiers have changed a lot.

Unconsciously, they no longer regarded themselves as ordinary people like those of the rural people. They began to look at those who were like them before with the eyes of the dominator.

Alexander put down the whip and looked at these people and said, "Tell me who you are and why you should run away, otherwise I will let my people catch you."

"Adult!" The recognized woman screamed in horror as she stepped forward to try to grab the reins of the Alexander mount, but was pushed to the ground by the guards next to him.

Alexander motioned to stop the guard, looked at the woman who had climbed from the ground and was about to pounce forward, and waved to her: "Tell me what you want to say."

"Sir, please don't catch us, we just picked up some unused stones in the mine, we didn't steal anything," the woman screamed uncomfortably, and finally knelt on the ground. "Please, my lord, please forgive me, I I don't want to be rushed to the mine to work, I still have children at home! "

"Then you came from the mine," Alexander came down from the horse. He took out a piece of coking coal from a basket and smashed it **** a stone. The coal was smashed instantly, and some of the fragments were still carried The shimmering crystals "really good coal."

"Sir, these seem to have been stolen from the coal mine."

Several soldiers gathered the scattered baskets that were thrown away by those people, and for a time those people looked at Alexander with frightened eyes.

"How far is it from here to the coal mine?" Alexander asked casually as he wiped off the coal stains on his hands.

"It's not too far away, as long as you cross the front hillside," the woman answered nervously, and then hesitantly asked, "Aren't you Colombo's men?"

"Colombo, who is he, the owner of the coal mine?"

"Are you really not?" The expression on the woman's face was slightly relaxed, and she tried to take a step forward. Seeing that Alexander had no one to stop, she took another step and whispered, "I beg you to let us go, if you test When Lord Lumb discovered us, he would definitely catch all of us to work in the mine. If we did, we would have no way to live. "

"You haven't told me who that Colombo is," Alexander continued to ask. "He is the owner of this coal mine?"

"We don't know, but Lord Colombo is the big one here. He is in charge of the entire coal mine, and the quarry there is also under his control." The woman pointed in a direction on the mountain.

"It seems that Colombo is a mighty man." Alexander smiled.

"I heard that Lord Colombo is a nobleman in Milan," the woman whispered, looked at Alexander, and then she said, "Adult, don't you know Lord Colombo, please let me go, I just want to be for the family The child changed the food, it was too cold this year, and my husband got sick again. "

Alexander slowly passed in front of these people, looking at the pieces of broken coal thrown in the baskets on the ground, he took another one from the basket.

It felt a bit heavy to start with, looking at the dark black stone without gloss, Alexander threw it on the ground.

These people have more or less crushed coal in their baskets, and most of them are incombustible coal. Although the woman's basket is not loaded, they are all very good coking coal.

"You're smart, you know how to pick something better," Alexander said, looking at the woman, and seeing her panic, he asked, "Tell me where did you 'pick' these coals from?" . "

Alexander deliberately increased his tone, and when he saw the woman's pale face and looked at her companion, he waved slightly and signaled the guard to take the woman aside.

The woman stood unsteadily in front of Alexandria, her eyes just staring at the basket of broken coal under his feet.

"You must be looking for these coals by yourself, right?" Seeing the woman's expression changed, Alexander waited for her to speak and then continued, "You know more than anyone else what coal to look for, light weight, It looks like a lot of pieces are sticking together, some of them are still bright. But there are certainly not many such good coals. You must not want others to know, so you are looking for these coals by yourself, right? "

Alexander's words made the woman's face uneasy. She opened her mouth to say something, but because of the tension, she could only swallow.

"Tell me who told you this, don't say you knew it yourself, no woman knows this kind of thing."

Alexander's tone became harsher, and he stared closely at the woman's eyes, which made the woman more nervous and scared.

"Yes, it's my husband," the woman finally couldn't hold on because she was afraid, she looked at Alexander with horror. "My husband is a worker in a coal mine. Before I was kicked out because of an injury, there was really no way out at home. Thinking about picking up some broken coal and selling it for money. "

"It's stealing," Alexander smiled. "As far as I know, Sononi belongs to the territory of the Holy See. Everything here belongs to the church, so your behavior is stealing and you are punished according to the law."

There was a look of panic on the woman's face, despair and fear turned her pale face blue.

Alexander knew why this woman was so terrified.

In this era, theft is subject to very cruel punishment!

Cutting off fingers and even cutting off the entire palm is a common thing, and this harsh punishment can even be spread to even a small mistake.

The woman was obviously frightened by the thought of those terrible punishments, and it was her fear that Alexander needed.

Along the way, Alexander found that although this winter was exceptionally cold, but in addition to the heavy snowfall in some places near Rome, other places did not suffer too much snow disaster, even when they came near Sandro Peak , It hardly snows here.

If Rome is blocked due to heavy snow, then there is actually no such difficulty here.

Alexander couldn't help remembering the famous saying: All roads lead to Rome.

Even if the road is temporarily blocked, it is not difficult to open other roads to Rome unless the people here do not intend to do so at all.

Perhaps, what is happening here is not as simple as the road closure.

Alexander, who had thought of these, wanted to know what happened to Sanroni ’s mine.

Now that the woman's appearance has helped him a lot, thinking of the woman's husband who had worked in Sanroni's mine before, he thinks this is a rare opportunity.

Now think about it carefully ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The reason why Caesar can't wait to open the road blocked by heavy snow, there are really some reasons.

Alexander thought, he could not help but looked up at the mountain.

At this moment, there was a whisper of bird singing unique to the sentinel.

The Sanroni Peak is not very high. It runs from the foot of the mountain to a hill with a lot of rolling hills lying in the middle, so although it is not far away, it takes a long time to walk.

In a very low recess in the distance, a cloud of smoke was slowly rising, and as the smoke appeared and disappeared among the uneven hills, a team of cavalry could be seen running towards them quickly.

The people who stole the coal immediately showed a frightened look. They panicked and tried to escape but were surrounded by the bohemians who were stopped. For a time, fear and uneasiness enveloped them.

"Let them go," looking at the line approaching in the distance, Alexander gave the order "but this woman is going to stay."

Hearing Alexander's words, the woman's complexion suddenly turned pale.
