305. Scared as a street rat

In recent days, the incident at Sacred Heart Institute has completely exploded public outrage.

As soon as the news hit the papers, it provoked the masses to curse vehemently, and even the noble ladies of Imperial City, usually aloof from worldly matters, couldn't help but mutter "sinful."

The Imperial Court, Ministers of Menes, and the Church all played dead, leaving the populace with no choice but to follow the matter through the newspapers.

By the third day, suddenly two explosive pieces of news were published.

First was the statement from the Jiade Minister in Jinmen:

[The Church is founded on compassion and has no intention to harm others. The Sacred Heart Institute is innocent, and the matter must be fishy. We urge Shun Country to immediately punish the murderer severely and compensate the Church for all losses.]

Such a shameless statement caused an immediate uproar.
