Chapter 150

After the chief criminal has dealt with the accomplices, the Lord of Daya asked again, "general, your majesty has ordered them to reduce the rank of marquis or pay a corresponding fine to offset the crime. What's your opinion?"

Amun spread his hands: "I have no problem, let them choose voluntarily."

The city master of Daya said with a wry smile: "thank you, general! As for the adults who have sued you for misunderstanding, how much do you think it is appropriate for your majesty to ask them to make heavy reparations? "

Amun laughed: "I don't want to blackmail anyone. As for the specific amount, it's up to you to decide. I'm neither too much nor too little. It's hard for the Lord! This money is divided into three parts, I will take one, and the other two will be given to John and general longten respectively. This is not only my thanks, but also the praise of his majesty

In praise of the two generals, Lachish II praised the two generals. However, Amun turned a sum of money into three money and rewarded Long Teng and John.

The Lord of Daya said, "the matter is finally settled. The day after tomorrow, Isis' blessing ceremony will be completed on schedule."

Gabriel, an onlooker, said, "the lady has orders. If the matter is finished, all the people concerned will come to the temple to discuss the matter this afternoon. The lady will ask about the results face to face."

As soon as amon got up, he seemed to have something to say. Hearing Gabriel's words, he stopped talking. He winked at John and followed them to the temple to see the virgin.

In the noisy assembly hall last time, the virgin inquired about the instructions of his Majesty the Pharaoh and the treatment of the Lord of Daya. She nodded with satisfaction, comforted Amun and praised the Lord of Daya and expressed her sympathy for the hard work these days.

Finally, she said to Amun: "it's rare for a general to come to mengfeisi, but this kind of thing happens. Please don't mind. The day after tomorrow is Isis' blessing ceremony. This is your second time to attend this ceremony. Two years ago, you were a glorious warrior in the temple, and today you have become an imperial general. How do you feel about revisiting your hometown? "

Amun leaned over and said, "thanks to the guidance of the virgin and the saving grace of Lord Gabriel in those years. Otherwise, how could amon be today? I have a request for the grace of the virgin. "

Maria: what do you want from the general

Amun: "in this ceremony, I want to wear the armor of a glorious warrior and still hold the shuttle spear of that year. I want to stand in the position of that year, to guard the square for the lady saint, and to do my part for the city of Memphis."

All of them were surprised. The general did not want to sit on the auditorium in front of the temple to participate in the ceremony. Instead, he stood in the square with a spear in hand, just like the temple warrior two years ago, guarding the square and maintaining public order. If Amun did this, he would give the temple of Isis and the city of Memphis face!

Someone was trying to dissuade her, but Maria said with a smile, "OK, I promise you! The general does not forget that he was born and respected by the whole country. He is still modest and self-confident. He is not proud of his achievements. He is worthy of admiration. "

When they heard this, they all expressed their admiration to Amun. Amun said with a smile: "holy lady, there is one thing I intended to say in the city Lord's office. But since I have this opportunity to take advantage of the presence of all the adults, let's talk about it here. There is a noble general who wants to sue the civilian Sheng Yi! "

Daya city master a Leng, quickly said: "general, this matter is not over?"

Amun said faintly: "Shengyi's assassination is over. This is another thing. It's not that I want to sue him, but General John wants to sue him. The petition has been written. What's the matter? Please tell the Lord. Are we going to talk here or go back to the government office of the city Lord? "

Maria frowned slightly and said, "why is General John suing Sheng Yi again? Bring me the complaint and see it first. "

John took out a roll of paper from his arms and Gabriel took it and gave it to the virgin. Maria turned it over, her brows gradually locked, and she said calmly, "pass on the people."

The holy lady actually asked all the adults present to read it. When they handed it around, their faces turned ugly, and some even showed relief. This complaint was impeached by John Sheng Yi, accusing him of sending local ruffians to the farm to make trouble after Jules' death in the war and deliberately creating an assassination case. He seized the Jules family farm, and his accomplice redrose occupied Jules' wife. Jules father died in prison, his wife drowned in the river.

Jules used to be the captain of John's team. Today he wants to avenge his subordinates and seek justice for those who died in the front line!

At first, people thought that the general was fighting for a girl. Later, when he saw that the situation was wrong, the smart people thought that Amun was taking the opportunity to build up his power and fight back against the prime minister. Now it suddenly dawned on him that Amun did not let Sheng Yi go, but also wanted to revenge the soldiers who died in the front line.

If this event is spread out, it will not only damage Amun's reputation, but also increase his prestige. It's the same thing, but the meaning has changed dramatically.

When everyone had finished reading, Maria sighed softly: "General John, your investigation is very detailed. The facts are clear. What happened to the Jules is very sympathetic, but according to the city-state law, this case is difficult to solve."The saint is telling the truth. This case can't be turned because of the lack of the most critical evidence. It was redrose who had planned the incident. He bought the farm at a low price from Jules' widow. He forced Jules' widow to commit. But redrose was dead and Jules' widow committed suicide.

As for the case of Shengyi's assassination, the facts at that time were clear. The old Jules had indeed gathered people to break into Shengyi's territory with lethal weapons and rushed to the vehicles of Shengyi and redrose. In the chaos, someone stabbed Shengyi's horse. Unless we can find out who deliberately planned this incident, and find the assassin who stabbed the horse to confess that all these are under the command of Sheng Yi, otherwise we can't finish the case.

However, John did not find such evidence. Some of the original ruffians had already disappeared. Moreover, this incident was planned by redrose, and now it is dead without proof. Old Jules did not attempt to assassinate Sheng Yi, just as Sheng Yi himself did not attempt to assassinate Amun, but in the face of evidence and facts, the case can only be judged in this way.

Of course, Amun knows these reasons, otherwise he will not wait until now to bring out this complaint. He got up and bowed down to the ground and said, "holy lady, you are right. But I don't ask for results, I just ask for an open investigation. According to the law of the Egyptian empire, a nobleman's accusation against a civilian must be accepted by the city-state judicial office, and the public interrogation is allowed to be heard by citizens. "

His purpose was not to turn over the old case, but to make it public. Amun accused Sheng Yi of assassinating him to defeat him. Now let John accuse Sheng Yi and try it in public, which is to split his name. It's also good for Amun and John to make it public, at least to let people know why the general wants to make a big fuss about Memphis?

Maria asked curiously, "general, you and General John have been in the territory. How do you understand this matter? When did you go to the farm to do the survey again? "

Amun replied truthfully, "the day after John hurt Sheng Yi, everyone thought I had taken that girl out of town. In fact, that girl is Jules' sister. Jules was a hero who died in battle, but his family was destroyed. How could I not find out that the only living relative had been reduced to that kind of place? John and I went to the farm with Jules' sister to investigate the matter. "

Amon was not a fool. He did not mention the story of themisfei's assassination of redrose, but he said the identity of the girl. The Lord of Daya, holding the complaint, said with a bitter face: "general, Shengyi has two legs broken. He will be sent to the army of Anla according to your will. You have punished him. What's more, the saint just said that this case can't be turned over. The day after tomorrow is the blessing ceremony of Isis. Can we not make extra troubles

Amen stood up and asked with his back his hand: "gentlemen, you have not forgotten that the day after tomorrow will be the blessing ceremony of Goddess Isis. This general wants to ask, what is the blessing?"

What is a blessing? It was not easy for them to answer without permission. They looked up at the virgin. Maria looked at Amun for a moment. It was the look in their eyes when they looked at each other. Then she slowly replied: "in the blessing ceremony, Isis's blessing magic was applied to all the people to eliminate pain, wash away fatigue, and give people confidence, strength and courage, which symbolizes the goddess's love and compassion. But the real blessing is more than just a ritual.

With the power of yearning in the heart, the gods will not close their eyes to their people, witness sin and kindness, let love and honesty meet, justice and peace meet. The richness of the earth will accompany the inner peace and wash away the unclean soul. It is both a gift and an examination. This is the real blessing.

The general is right to remind us that if we delay today's accusation of crimes because of the grand ceremony the day after tomorrow, what kind of blessing will we talk about? Lord of the city, you will accept and make a public trial according to the regulations. Today! If we don't change the proper handling of this matter because of the grand ceremony, we can't finish the trial tomorrow. After the ceremony, we will continue to hear the case and issue an announcement according to the will of general Amun. "

……

So it was decided. Just two days before Isis's blessing ceremony, the city-state judicial office accepted the case of John's accusation against Shengyi and issued a notice to allow citizens of the city to attend. Of course, it takes a process to try a case. It is not a day or two to bring the relevant people to the government office for interrogation. The result can only be obtained after the grand ceremony.

The announcement went out, and the contents of John's complaint were made public, but the trial did not really proceed. Because on that night, Shengyi, who was in disgrace, committed suicide. His death was not unexpected. Amun had long expected this result. He had been deprived of his noble status and became a civilian. Once again, his evil behavior became public. If he was sent to serve in the Anla army, his death would be even worse.

……

It doesn't matter how Sheng Yi died. When John took out his complaint in public, his fate was decided. When Maria ordered it, it was all over. All the adults withdrew, but the virgin left Amun, asked the general alone if he had any questions, and sent all the people around him away.

After the blessing ceremony, Amun will return to his territory. They don't know when they can have such a chance to meet. Maria sat there looking at Amon, with a thousand words in her eyes. Amun also looked at her. After a long time, the sky outside the window gradually became dark, and the general should retire. Then he whispered, "don't you have something to ask me? I can see that you have something to say"The girl who sang and danced for you that night was the murderer who killed redrose," she said

Amun was stunned and sighed: "everything can't be concealed from your eyes. I didn't mention it at all, but you thought about it. Yes, it was she who killed Redruth. The saint will not pursue the poor girl, will she? There is no evidence in this case. "

Maria said meaningfully, "if I wanted to pursue her, I would not mention it to you alone now. Amun, that girl is called the flower of dream flying, must be very beautiful? "

Amun stammered in front of Maria for the first time: "this, this, she is beautiful. I can't deny that But I think the real beauty is in the radiance of Isis. "

There was a smile in Maria's eyes and a trace of hard to detect regret, but she lowered her eyes and whispered, "you should treat her kindly. Her experience is very sympathetic and her behavior is admirable. She is a rare strange woman. Maybe the gods sent her to you. This is the real fate in the world

Amun laughed: "it's really the gods who sent her to me, but I met her. So many things happened."

Maria lowered her eyes, but she could still feel that Amun's eyes were wrong. She raised her head and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? What a strange smile! Isn't what I said wrong? You startled the whole empire for a girl. What should the lonely girl do after her family was ruined? Shouldn't you treat her well? My great general

Amun was still laughing: "the saint has said so. Of course, I will treat this girl well. I will redeem her and take her away and arrange everything."

Maria frowned and said, "this is what you should do. Why do you smile like this?"

Amun finally laughed: "the girl's name is themisfei. She is a fourth class warrior. If Gabriel sees her, he will like her very much. It's not easy for a woman to have this achievement. You are one of the people I admire most. You can't hide anything from your eyes, but you can't see an obvious thing. "

Maria asked curiously, "what's the matter? I don't understand what you mean

Amun replied, "I didn't say, and you didn't see her. You guessed that she was the murderer of redrose. But General John liked her, very much. You can't see such an obvious thing! I'll ask themisfi for her own opinion, and if she will, let them be together

Maria's expression was a little embarrassed: "Oh, that's what happened. The person who went to the farm to investigate was John, and the official accuser was also John. When the girl was mentioned, General John's look was indeed I should have seen it, but I didn't notice. You are very considerate for your subordinates and your people, and you should think more about yourself. "

Amun closed his smile and said, "when it's time to think about it, I'll think about it. You should take good care of it."

……

The next day, Amun sent people to the brothel to redeem cenu themisfei. The general attached great importance to this matter. The person he sent was the captain of the personal guard and the great warrior General John.

Unexpectedly, some people reacted faster than amon. By the time John arrived, three groups of people had already arrived in the brothel to redeem themisfei, and they had a lot of origins. They were the envoys sent by the city Lord Daya Tu Yang, the chief warrior of the temple Long Teng, and one was the official of the city-state property department and the rich merchant Theo himself.

Dyland, the owner of the brothel, was frightened by the situation. He could have redeemed anyone, but now he promised that anyone would offend the other two, which was not easy. When John arrived, Theo was at odds with the other two men, and he was determined to redeem themisfei no matter what the price.

John was also startled by the scene, but the general was thick and thin. When he saw Theo, he understood something immediately. He came forward and asked, "Lord Theo, do you want to send a favor to general amon when you come to redeem miss themisfei?"

When Theo saw John, he came over to say hello very affectionately. Hearing the question, he quickly replied, "yes, I intend to send miss themisfei to the general's house."

John turned around and asked the other two people, "go back and ask the Lord of Daya and Lord Longteng, if they want to redeem miss themisfei, will they also send them to the general? If that's the case, I don't need to. Thank you for your kindness. The general has sent me to redeem someone in person. "

I see! There was nothing to argue about. The two messengers went back. Theo took John's arm and said, "the general sent you to redeem people. I can't come in vain. You must give face. I'll pay for the ransom, and take miss themisfei to the general's house with my carriage. "

John laughed: "there's no need for the carriage. Miss themisfei is on the general's house. I'm just here to say hello. As for money..."

Dyland, the owner of the brothel, said at the beginning, "miss themisfei doesn't owe us money."

John turned his head and glared, "you said it yourself. Miss themisfei doesn't owe money. Don't say I'm relying on the power of the general to oppress people."Dirander nodded again and again: "of course, she did not owe money. She has made a lot of money for us in the past six months. My Lord said that if the general came to redeem people, it should be miss themisfei's reward, and she should be returned." Diland was only the owner of the brothel, which was the property of a great nobleman in Memphis.

John came to redeem people, only to say hello, not only did not spend money, but also took a lot of money. Before Theo would leave, he said to John, "let me take you back and lead the horse for you."

"I came here on foot," said John, who was angry and funny

Theo: that's great. You can go back in my carriage
