It turned out that when Zhang Shun was talking to Han Lin, he found that this man believed in Christianity very much, and he started to think about it.

He deliberately angered this person with words first, and then suppressed him with force, disrupted his reason, and brought him into his own rhythm.

As expected, Han Lin fell into the trap and was in a dilemma. On one side is a giant bandit who is brave and difficult to control, and on the other side is the Ming court, which is deeply involved in his family. To live or to die, that is the question!

According to common sense, Han Lin must have his heart set on the imperial court and not want to have anything to do with the bandits. But now "King Shun" has come to the door with his people, and he can't help but refuse rashly. If the thieves become angry and take action, the Han family will still suffer.

In a hurry, Han Lin couldn't make up his mind and decided to find someone to discuss. Zhang Shun estimated the time and deliberately found an excuse to run to Jiangzhou City to see if the situation was as he had guessed.

Most of the churches during this period were still in Chinese style, but crosses were hung on the lintels to show the difference. Others may not recognize it, but Zhang Shun is a person who has traveled through time in later generations, so he naturally knows the typical characteristics of this church.

The scale of ancient cities cannot be compared with modern cities, and it does not take much time to explore the whole city.

Zhang Shun seemed to be shopping with Ma Yingniang, but in fact, he only spent half the morning searching Jiangzhou City, and as expected, he did not find a second church in the city.

Christianity was introduced to China for a short time in the late Ming Dynasty. Zhang Shun estimated that there would never be a second church in a city. After on-site verification and other possibilities were eliminated, Zhang Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From this, he could conclude that on Sunday Han Lin would definitely go to the church where they planned to stay to worship, and casually discuss with the church members how to deal with his affairs.

In order to prevent this person from reporting to the official, he also deliberately left Wukong to supervise this person. Until the end, Zhang Shun returned to Han Mansion again and told him about the dispute between King Fu and Guangzong, to show that the court was not the court he thought, and it was unclear who was the orthodox one!

This dispelled Han Lin's last thought of reporting to the official immediately. At this point, all Han Lin's behavior patterns were calculated by Zhang Shun.

It's not that there were no changes, but fortunately the impact was not big.

After Han Lin saw Zhang Shun leaving, his first reaction was to go to the Duan Mansion, which was particularly close to his family, and talk to Duan Gun, the head of the Duan family, about the matter.

Duan Gun was also a member of Han Lin's church, and his Christian name was Stephen. He and Han Lin had a relationship of both teacher and friend.

Duan Gun was also shocked when he heard this, and waited until Han Lin explained the whole matter to Duan Gun.

Duan Gun's first reaction was: "Korean Catholics, please don't rush to report to the officials. This person is obviously well-prepared. He cannot be surrounded and suppressed unless the imperial court sends a large army. If the Catholics report to the officials, the government will bring several government officials to arrest them." Let’s not talk about whether this person will come back or not. If he offends this person and vents his anger on the church members, it would be unsightly."

"What's more, the Korean church members are also well aware of the situation of our teaching. After the Nanjing Teaching Case, the teacher was expelled. Now, although he has changed his name and surname, he has returned to Jiangzhou. The government officials are doing nothing and do not know his real name. I am just afraid that something will happen. If you make a big fuss and become known to others, it will create additional problems!"

Han Lin couldn't help but darken his face when he heard this, and asked coldly: "Does it mean that I still want to be a thief according to the wishes of the church members?"

Duan Gun heard this and quickly explained: "That's not the case. From what I heard from my fellow believers, it's obvious that 'King Shun' has the intention to support King Fu. In the past, our Ming Dynasty had the battle of Jingnan, but I didn't know that today there is no such thing as 'Qingjun's side'" yeah?"

"We have worked so hard to preach, but we are only ten, a hundred or even a thousand people. If we serve the dragon with merit, not only will the believers be honored as princes and generals, but it will also be an opportunity for the Tianjiao to flourish. We can even go one step further and depose hundreds of schools. , it’s not a bad idea to only respect the Heavenly Religion!”

Han Lin was surprised and happy when he heard this. He was happy that Tianjiao had the opportunity to go further, but he was shocked that he had to put himself and even the whole family's safety in order to fight for this chance.

Duan Gun also knew that it was not the behavior of a gentleman to persuade others to invest all their wealth and life, and he was not overly coercive.

The two of them pondered for a while, undecided. Duan Gun tentatively suggested: "Actually, what 'King Shun' wants is nothing more than Western firearms and fortresses. Although the Master is not specialized, he has the heart to preach to the death. Brother Han, why don't you rest for one night and come with me tomorrow?" Let’s go to the church service and explain it clearly to our teacher!”

When Han Lin heard it, he understood what it meant. He couldn't help but secretly regret it for a long time, then nodded in agreement.

Han Lin felt at ease, and on the next day, everyone went to the church. Under the auspices of the "Grand Master", everyone began to worship seriously.

As a result, not long after the service started, the door of the church was knocked open with "bang" and "bang", and then dozens of soldiers in full armor rushed in.

The "Grand Master" was startled, and turned around to find his gun before he had time to load it. He, Han Lin and Duan Gun were controlled by these soldiers who swarmed forward.

"Master Gao" was shocked and angry: "Who are you? How dare you violate the Tianjiao worship!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help being happy when he saw it, and asked: "Hey, foreigner? Who are you?"

"Master Gao" saluted and said proudly in his weird accent: "I am a native of Taixi. My surname is Gao and my given name is Yizhi. My courtesy name is Sheng!"

Zhang Shun vaguely knew in his previous life that "Taixi" refers to the countries in Western Europe, so he asked strangely: "Taixi is broken into a piece of land. Although there are not tens of thousands of countries, there are probably dozens of countries. Which country are you from?"

Gao Yizhi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He had been in Ming Dynasty for a long time. Many people still couldn't tell the difference between names such as "Europa", "Taixi" and "Flangji". He never expected that this person was so familiar. Europa situation.

Gao Yizhi didn't dare to lie and responded quickly: "A wise man doesn't speak secretly. I am a Western-Italian!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He looked Gao Yizhi up and down and saw that he was wearing Confucian clothes, with black hair and black eyes. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, you can also use idioms. Chinese is pretty good, pasta!"

"Pasta?" Gao Yizhi was confused and quickly explained, "Dear guest, my name is not spaghetti, my name is Gao Yizhi."

"Okay, I get it!" Zhang Shun said with a deeper smile, "I know you, a country as old as ours, Rome! You once had a huge land and a glorious past, but now You are down and out.”

"How about it? Are you interested in taking a trip with me?"

Gao Yizhi's eyes widened, suspecting that he had met God. He was stunned for a long time before replying: "By God, I actually met such a person! Well, let me clean up and go with you!"

"No need, ask your friends to get it for you if you need anything! Oh, by the way, I will confiscate this gadget in your hand!" Zhang Shun smiled like a fox and reached out to snatch Gao Yizhi away. weapon, turned around and handed it to Ma Yingniang.
