Chapter 241 Riot

If it was just to be admired as a role model, Wei Mu would not mind it, but this kind of thing does not exist in the completely religious Empire. The consequence of amplifying personal charm is that it will inevitably be deified.

He did not pay much attention to this aspect before, but now he thinks that those imperial generals who have made great military achievements, such as the most typical three heroes of the Empire - Dante of the Blood Angels, Logan of the Space Wolves, and Calgar of the Ultramarines, are privately worshipped by a large number of imperial people.

They set up longevity tablets for these heroes at home, offer incense and candles every day, and in some places they directly build statues for them and praise them with hymns day and night.

This is obviously not a good thing.

For the people of the Empire, it is indeed very reassuring to have spiritual sustenance, and praising the heroes can also express their gratitude.

But from a practical point of view, human beings should rely more on and believe in their own strength, rather than pinning their hopes on such a distant and overly beautified image.

Not to mention that faith can distort the will of the target to some extent and make it lose itself.

The emperor had tried to stop it, but failed. Today, the state religion has grown so strong that no one can stop it. Wei Mu didn't think he had the ability to do so. He could only jump down in time before the car door was welded shut to protect himself as much as possible.

Wei Mu originally planned to use the test questions to hit his so-called admirers, but the development of things was beyond his expectations.

After the written test, the administrative department of Blackstone Fortress was immediately surrounded by an indignant crowd.

The soldiers who had just come out of the examination room gathered here, making a lot of noise, as if they wanted to eat the group of civil servants alive.

The director of the administrative department was a thin middle-aged man named Ju Yi. At this time, he and dozens of his subordinates were surrounded by thousands of people. His expression was calm, but he was actually panicking.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? Violently attacking important institutions of the empire is a serious violation of the law. Think carefully before you act!" He held a loud speaker and shouted at the rioting crowd around him.

"You said we rebelled? It's you who want to rebel. You're accusing us just because you open your mouth. Don't think we'll be scared of you with a loud speaker!"

In the crowd, a guy with a rough voice roared angrily, and the decibel of his voice was no less than that of the director of the administrative department holding equipment.

"The administrative department was established by the governor himself, and it hasn't even been in operation for a long time. How can it be called a rebellion? Your behavior seriously violated the laws of the empire. If you really encounter any problems, you can report to us through formal channels. This large-scale impact is absolutely intolerable to the empire. I advise all soldiers to turn back in time and don't make mistakes." General Ju Yi gradually slowed down his tone and began to persuade everyone.

"Stop using the Empire to scare us. What's wrong with the test questions you set? The 13th multiple-choice question is clearly aimed at the Jiedushi!" The big man continued to roar, "It was under his leadership that we won the final victory in the war against the Red Pirates and solved the bandit problem in the Great Whirlpool area for the Empire once and for all. Such a great achievement should not be praised and worshipped. Your administrative department is so bold that you dare to bring private goods into the selection exam and prohibit the promotion of the heroic deeds of the Jiedushi. Whose momentum is behind it!"

None of the four options given in the multiple-choice question were selected by these people. Choosing them would be a betrayal of the Jiedushi.

And after seeing that multiple-choice question, their emotions were disturbed. Countless terrible thoughts kept turning around in their minds, resulting in no mind to answer the following questions.

When the riot just happened, Ju Yi guessed the relevant causes. After thinking about it, only that question could make the soldiers furious. Now it seems that the situation is indeed the case.

It was like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. The incident was more unfair than Dou E.

"You misunderstood. The question was specially added by the governor. It was completely his own will. There is no problem with the content of the test paper." Ju Yi answered truthfully.

Their administrative department was also puzzled at the time. They didn't understand why Wei Mu wanted to do such a thing. Not only was the content of the question strange, but the answers were all negative. There were four options, ABCD. Candidates could get points as long as they chose them.

But they didn't dare to disobey the governor's request.

So they could only ignore the small discord and add the absurd question to the test paper.

"You are talking nonsense. You actually used such a ridiculous reason to fool us. The governor had eaten too much and had to deny himself? Why didn't you just say it was the mistake of the temporary worker? Then we might believe it a little bit!"

"That's right. You civil servants can do anything to fight for power and profit. Don't treat us as fools!"

However, the crowd didn't buy it and continued to make a fuss.

The behavior of these administrative officials is too arrogant and too blatant.

They just won a great victory, but they treated the heroes of the empire like this. If they continue to let it go, what will happen in the future?

"This is true. Think about it carefully. How many heads do we have? Can we joke about such things?" Ju Yi tried to remind him.

If their administrative department really wanted to smuggle goods, there are ten thousand ways to hide it so that no one can find any handle. How could they make the situation look like this now? It's like a joke.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who were originally full of resentment gradually fell into silence.

They also began to think about the rationality of the whole incident.

If a person is a bandit to the extreme, he will not look like a bandit. Is there really something else strange in it?

Seeing this, Ju Yi breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had persuaded them: "Before the bad consequences are caused, you should disperse quickly and don't continue to make mistakes."

As a result, a roar suddenly appeared, which immediately broke his mentality.

The soldiers' blind worship of Wei Mu exceeded the imagination of all the administrative officials.

"This place must be corrupted, and the dark gods are weaving conspiracies in it. You heretics and traitors dare to unite with demons to murder loyal people!"

It was as if a word awakened the dreamer.

As the voice narrated, the soldiers instantly figured out the whole story.

I thought it was just a power struggle, but I didn't expect it was Chaos.

People infected by Chaos energy don't have clear minds, and that group of destructive powers are eyeing their governor, so it's not surprising that they would do such outrageous things.

In this way, everything makes sense.

The soldiers became agitated again, even more intense than before.

"No, we are officials appointed by him personally, how could we defect to Chaos." Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, the director of the administrative department was almost crying and hurriedly explained.

But the soldiers didn't believe it.

"Who knows what evil method you used? Maybe the emperor's servant is gone, and the one talking to us is just an empty shell occupied by the devil."

"We can contact our superiors, and they can prove our innocence."

"Is it to prove innocence or to tip off? No need, we will tie you up and take you to see the governor, and see how you can argue then."

"No, you can't do that, the judge will be here soon, you."

Since the riot, officials from the administrative department have been calling for help.

However, distant water cannot save nearby fires, and the stubborn soldiers will not give them this opportunity.

"I am just injured, not disabled. You guys are still a little naive to turn the tables in front of me!"

As they said, the soldiers rushed into the administrative department aggressively and tied up all the people inside.
