“The great prophet Messiah, we know that you are a noble man, honestly preaching the word of God and treating him all the time, for they are all God’s people,”

The little noble on the left saluted Mo Yu respectfully, "We want to ask you a question, should we pay taxes to Caesar?"

Caesar refers to the Roman emperor. At this time, the Roman emperor was a member of the Caesar family and took Caesar as his surname.

This question actually has a hidden trap. If Mo Yu answered that it should, then he denied the orthodox nature of his identity and recognized the rule of Rome. He does not need the title of Messiah (King of the Jews) now, and it may not mean that he does not need it in the future.

If he answered that it shouldn't be, then the old sects would have the opportunity to use this answer to incite the people to resist taxes, thereby pushing the New sect and the Roman government to the opposite side, and the final result would inevitably lead to war.

So Mo Yu reached out and said, "Do you have coins in your hand? Give me one."

The little nobleman was a little confused, but he still gave Mo Yu a silver coin of dinar. The front of the silver coin was a statue of the Roman emperor. Mo Yu flipped the silver coin and asked, "Whose image is printed on it?"

"It's the image of Caesar."

The little nobleman didn't know what Mo Yu meant, so he answered honestly.

scandium--

Mo Yu bounced his fingers, and the silver coin made a crisp sound, flying out of his hand and falling into the arms of the little nobleman.

"Let God return to God, and Caesar return to Caesar."

This sentence seems to say that God's things belong to God and Caesar's things belong to Caesar, which separates religion and government and allows believers to pay taxes with Rome. In fact, Mo Yu still takes the initiative in his own hands.

After all, he has the final say on what is God.

Religion and government are not two unrelated things, they can include each other.

The two little nobles did not achieve their goals and had to leave in disappointment.

Mo Yu did not pursue the investigation. There were too many spies from the old sects who were mixed in the crowd. He didn't have to take action on each one by himself. It would be too expensive and the people below would handle everything well.

After treating some seriously ill people in the village and prescribing some prescriptions, Mo Yu walked out of the village.

He rarely uses miracles now, and he basically relies on drug treatment instead of directly curing it with faith.

Although his use of faith basically has no cost, he cannot respond to all requests, his punishment is unknown, and his power is unpredictable. This is the self-cultivation of a charlatan.

But when he walked to the entrance of the village, he found that the road at the entrance of the village was surrounded by people. One of the people saw Mo Yu coming over and shouted excitedly,

"The Prophet is here, the Prophet is here."

So everyone scattered excitedly, revealing the appearance of the people in the crowd. She was a light-dressed girl with her hands tied and her body curled up on the ground. She was covered with stones, some of her skin and bruises.

"Sir, you must make the decision for me, this damn prostitute seduces my husband."

As soon as Mo Yu approached the crowd and saw clearly what the crowd looked like, a woman cried.

Mo Yu looked at him. This was a woman with dark skin. There was a thin man standing next to her. The man seemed to be her husband.

"This woman seduced your husband?"

Mo Yu raised his head, looked at the woman and his husband, and asked softly.

“Yes, yes!”

The woman nodded heavily, but his husband's eyes dodged.

Mo Yu probably understood the situation, so he walked forward and squatted in front of the tied girl.

The girl's skin is not good, a little yellow, and her body is a little dry and thin, and she is obviously malnourished. Her breathing is weak and slow, and her body is still motionless, and she seems to have been hungry for a long time.

"So you are here..."

Mo Yu turned around and found that the people around him were holding stones of different sizes in their hands.

"My Prophet, Moses's law tells us that if a man is sinful, he will stone her to death."

A familiar voice came, which was one of the little nobles who had just asked Mo Yu's question. They were now standing in the crowd, looking at Mo Yu with a smile on their faces.

This matter is not easy to deal with. If Mo Yu wants to save the girl, they will accuse Mo Yu of violating Moses' law and disrespect the scriptures. If Mo Yu does not save the girl, they will really smash the girl to death here.

Mo Yu glanced around and said calmly,

"If anyone of you is innocent, you can hit her with a stone."

The crowd fell into strange silence. No one strictly abides by the precepts when he could live in this era.

Finally, the two little nobles saw that there was no movement around them, so they were about to take the lead and smash the stone in their hands at the girl. After all, only they know whether they are guilty or not. As long as they do not admit it, they are innocent.

Then the moment they threw out the stone, a thunder blew up in the sky, and the shining lightning almost instantly landed on their heads, directly slashing the two of them into coke.

Mo Yu lowered his head and did not look at everyone. Instead, he repeated the words just now, "A guilty person can smash her."

The whole scene fell into a strange tranquility.

Then someone threw down the stone in his hand and left quietly. This action triggered a chain of reactions. Everyone remained silent and left one by one.

In the end, even the most quarrel woman secretly took her husband.

On the entire road, there were only two charred corpses of the little nobles standing beside them.

Mo Yu slowly untied the rope that tied her to the girl, then took out the wheat cake and kettle from her bag and handed it to her, "Where is from the south?"

The girl sat up, looked up at Mo Yu, and snatched the wheat cake from Mo Yu's hand and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

“Ah…uh…”

Then she choked.

"Don't be anxious, drink a little water, eat slowly, and eat a little bit."

Mo Yu smiled and handed the kettle over.

It was not until the girl had eaten something and had the strength to talk to Mo Yu that Mo Yu understood her origin.

She was a hungry man from the south, and her family died of plague on the road. Because she had no family, she did not dare to walk with the large army and could only move forward alone with the remaining food.

Fortunately, she was lucky to meet a beast on this journey, otherwise she would have become a corpse in the wilderness. Even so, she still finished all the food and was so hungry that she had no strength when she walked to this village.

Because she did not follow the large army, she did not meet the team sent by Mo Yu to help the victims, so she walked here in a daze.

Because she was so hungry, she found a family to beg for food, which was the couple's family just now.

The husband was going to use a wheat cake to lure her to sell her body, but he didn't expect to be caught by his wife who suddenly came home, so he had to change his words and seduce her.

At that time, she was so hungry that she couldn't speak and had no strength to argue, so she could only let them fiddle with her.

During the chat, Mo Yu found that the girl was very logical and asked with a smile.

"Have you read a book?"

"Well, our family has some land and some savings on weekdays. My father thinks we must at least learn some knowledge of accounting and recognize some words in order to survive in this world..."

The girl explained carefully that she had no concealment. She had realized that she might have met the great prophet who was famous throughout the Jewish region.

It seems to be a small landlord family.

Mo Yu nodded slightly. Given that the girl had no family, he took her back to where he lives now and asked Maria to help arrange it.

——

The next morning

“Doga is such a good kid,”

Duoga is the name of the girl Mo Yu saved yesterday. Maria seemed to be very satisfied with her. She tidied up the dining table while praising.

Mo Yu was tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror beside him. This mirror was a flat bronze mirror. Although it was not as clear as the glass mirror, it could still clearly reflect the figure.

He heard Mary's words and asked with a smile, "Is Joseph coming back today?"

"I can't hide anything from you."

A trace of redness flashed across Maria's face with a trick that was discovered. As Mo Yu officially began to practice, her skin became better and better, and her already plump figure became more and more plump, looking like a young girl in her twenties.

Mo Yu shook his head and smiled.

It seems that Joseph can't escape the fate of blind dates.

Joseph is no young, but he has never been married.

Although his life span will increase significantly after practice, and among the extraordinary people, Joseph is obviously not old, Maria is still looking for a partner for Joseph.

I have read more books, which are insightful and have clear logic. Although I am a little hungry and thin, I can still see my pretty appearance clearly.

A beauty is in the bones but not in the skin. If you add more, you are a typical girl with beautiful bones.

Moreover, her parents have both passed away and their wealth is clean.

Mo Yu also knew that Doga and Joseph were suitable, but he still reminded, "The most important thing is to look at the two people's own thoughts, don't force them."

"Yeah, I will respect the opinions of both of them."

Maria walked out of the room with her tableware while smiling.

"Joseph is back."

Mo Yu looked at himself in the mirror.

Now among all the believers of the New Deity, Peter, the second-in-commander of the sect, can only rank third, and Judas, the two of them have the ability to see the demigod.

The first is Joseph, the young man Mo Yu met first. Joseph was so talented that he was even a little beyond Mo Yu's expectations.
