Pivot of the Sky

The main culprit proceeded to deal with the accessory, and the Daya city lord asked: "Grand General, what is your opinion that His Majesty has instructed them to cut down the rank or pay the corresponding fine for the crime? ”

Amon shook his hands: “I don't mind, let them choose voluntarily. ”

The Lord of Daya smiled bitterly: "Thank you for opening the net! As for the adults who have sued you for misunderstanding, how appropriate is it for Your Majesty to make them pay heavily? ”

Amon laughed: “I don't want to blackmail anyone. As for the exact amount, it is up to you, Lord City Owner. I am neither too much nor too little. I have worked hard for Lord City Owner! This money is divided into three parts, one for me and two for General John and General Longteng, respectively, which is both my gratitude and a compliment from His Majesty the Pharaoh. ”

Ramesses II praised the two generals for their inexpensive words, and Ammon turned a sum of money into three, rewarding Dragon Teng and John.

The Lord of Daya City took a long breath: “The matter was finally taken care of, and the day after yesterday it was the Great Festival of Isis, which was finally completed on schedule. ”

Gabrielle, who was listening, said: "The Virgin is alive. If this matter is taken care of, the relevant people and others will go to the temple this afternoon, and the Virgin will ask for the results in person. ”

Amon just stood up as if he still had something to say. Hearing Gabriel's words stopped, he gave John a look and followed everyone to the temple to meet the Virgin.

Also in that loud and noisy auditorium, the Virgin asked His Majesty the Promise of Pharaoh and the disposition of the Daya city owner. She nodded with satisfaction, persuaded Amon to say a few words and praised the Daya city owner, expressing her hard condolences on these days.

Finally, she said to Ammon: "The Great General rarely comes to Dreamfest, but this kind of thing has happened, please don't mind. The day after tomorrow is the Isis Blessing Festival. You attended this ceremony for the second time. Two years ago you were a glorious samurai of the Temple, and today you have become an Empire General. How do you feel about swimming again? ”

Amon owes him: "Thank you for your guidance, and thank you for Gabriel's help. Otherwise, where is Amon today? I have a request for your grace. ”

Maria: “What is the Great General's request? ”

Amon: “I want to wear the armor of a glorious samurai, still holding a shuttle gun like that, standing in that position, guarding the square for the Virgin, and doing my part for the State of Dreamfield. ”

Everyone was surprised that the General did not want to sit at the auditorium in front of the temple for the grand ceremony, but rather stood on duty in the square with a shuttle gun, like the Temple Warrior two years ago, guarding the square to maintain public order. Amon did this to Isis Temple and Monfis City State!

Someone was trying to dissuade Maria, and she smiled, "Okay, I promise you! The Grand General does not forget his origins. The honored country is still humble and self-respecting. He is not a bit proud of his work. He deserves admiration! ”

Everyone reacted to the news and expressed admiration for Amon. Amon laughed, "My Lady, there's one more thing I was going to say in the capital, but since this is an opportunity to take advantage of the presence of all of you, let's talk about it here. There's an aristocratic general who wants to sue civilians, Shengyi! ”

The Daya city lord stood still and said, “Grand General, isn't this over? ”

"The assassination of Shengyi is over," said Amon. "This is another matter, not that I'm suing him, but that General John is suing him. The pleadings have been written, please ask the owner of the city to see what is going on. Are we talking here, or are we going back to the main city hall? ”

Maria frowned slightly: "Why is General John suing Sung Yi again? Bring me the pleadings first. ”

John pulled out a volume of paperwork from his arms and Gabriel took it to the Virgin. Maria flipped over, her eyebrows gradually locked up and her calm face said: “Circulate the crowd. ”

The Virgin is actually going to read it to all the adults in this room. Everyone takes it and distributes it. Her face gets ugly, and some people even show a liberal expression. The indictment was impeached by John Shengyi, who, after the death of Jules, accused him of sending rogues to the farm to disrupt and deliberately commit assassinations, seized the Jules' farm and complicit Redross seized Jules' wife. Jules' father died in prison and his wife threw herself into the river.

Jules was once the captain of John's squad, and today he is going to grieve for his subordinates and seek justice for those soldiers who have lost their lives on the front line!

Amon made a scene in the brothel, and at first people thought the general was fighting for a girl's jealousy. Later, at first glance, things were wrong, and smart people reacted, thinking that Amon was taking the opportunity to stand up against the Chancellor. It is only now that Amon realizes suddenly that he has not spared Sung Yi, but also to avenge the death of the soldiers on the front line.

If this is spread, it will not only not damage Amon's reputation, but it will add to his prestige. Things are still that way, but the meaning has changed dramatically.

After everyone had seen it, Maria sighed softly: "General John, your investigation was very detailed and it was clear that the Jules were sympathetic to what had happened to them, but the case was difficult to reverse by city decree. ”

The Virgin is telling the truth, and this case cannot be reversed because the most critical evidence is missing. It was planned by Redross, who bought the farm at a low price from the widow of Jules, and he forced Jules' widow to commit himself, but Redross was dead and Jules' widow committed suicide.

As for the case of Shengyi's assassination, it was clear at the time that Old Jules had indeed gathered with a murder weapon to break into Shengyi's territory and rushed to the front of Shengyi's car with Redross. In the confusion, someone stabbed Shengyi's horse. The case will not be reversed unless it is possible to find out who deliberately planned this and find the perpetrator of the stabbing horse to confess that it was all under Shengyi's command.

John did not find such evidence, some of the scoundrels of the original gangsters were long gone, and this was planned by Redross, who is now dead without proof. Old Jules did not attempt to assassinate Shengyi, just as Shengyi himself did not attempt to assassinate Amon, but in the face of evidence and facts, the case can only be judged as such.

Of course, Amon knows these facts, otherwise he would not have waited until now to get this pleading out. He stood up and prayed, “Holy Virgin, you're right. But I don't ask for results, I just ask for a public investigation. Under the Ecumenical Decree, a nobleman complains of a civilian, and the Urban State Judiciary must receive it and allow citizens to be heard in public interrogations. ”

His aim was not to reverse the old case, but to make it public. Amon's accusation that Sung Yi was assassinated was to defeat this person, and now John's accusation against Sung Yi and public trial is to tear this person apart. It would also be good for Amon and John to go public, at least to make it clear why the Great General was dreaming of Fitz?

Maria asked curiously, "General, you and General John have been in the territory, how do you know about this? When did you go to the farm again? ”

Amon answered honestly: “Just the day after John hurt Sung Yi, everyone thought I was taking the girl out of town to play. In fact, that girl is Jules' sister. Jules is a hero who died in battle, but his family is dead. How can I not find out that the only living relative has fallen to such a place? I went with John to the farm with Jules' sister to investigate the matter. ”

Amon is not a fool. Of course he didn't mention the assassination of Redross by Thermis, but he did mention the girl's identity. The Lord of Daya City complained with a complaint and said bitterly: "General, Sung Yi has been broken two legs and will be sent to the Ann La Regiment to serve as you wish. You have punished him. Besides, as the Virgin has just said, this case cannot be reversed. The day after tomorrow will be the Great Blessing Festival of Isis, can it not be necessary to cut off extraneous branches? ”

Amon, the voodoo salute, stood up and asked with his back hand: "My lords, you have not forgotten that the day after tomorrow is the Great Blessing of the Isis Goddess. General Ben wants to ask, what is the blessing? ”

What's a blessing? Everyone had difficulty answering without permission and looked up at the Virgin. Maria looked at Amon for a moment and looked at him as if they were staring at each other, and then slowly replied: "At the Great Blessing Festival, perform the Blessing of Isis to all, eliminate pain, wash away fatigue, give people confidence, strength and courage, symbolize the love and pity of the goddess. But true blessings are more than just rituals.

If the heart gains the strength it desires, the Spirit will not close his eyes to the people of the Son, witness sin and goodness, let compassion and honesty meet, justice and peace meet, the abundance of the earth accompanies the inner peace of the heart, and wash the unclean soul, it is a gift as well as an examination, and this is the true blessing.

The Grand General was right to remind us that if we delay today's charges for crimes because of the Great Book of the Day after tomorrow, then what blessings are we talking about? Lord of the City, you will be judged according to the rules and in public, today! Without changing the disposition due to the Grand Diet, we will not be able to complete the trial tomorrow. After the Grand Diet, we will proceed with the trial and issue an announcement according to General Ammon's intentions. ”

……

It was so decided that, just two days before Isis' Blessing Festival, the Urban State Judicial Service accepted the case of John v. Sung Yi and issued a proclamation allowing citizens of Urban State to listen. Cases of course need a process. It is not possible to bring the relevant persons to the official court for questioning in one or two days. It is also necessary to wait until the grand pageant before reaching a result.

The announcement was made and the contents of John's complaint were made public, but the hearing did not really take place. Because that evening, Shengyi, a disgraced man, committed suicide. His death was not surprising, and Amon had long anticipated it, as he had been deprived of his aristocratic status as a civilian, and the evil was repeated publicly and sent to serve in the Ann-La Regiment only to make it worse.

……

It doesn't matter how Sung Yi died anymore. John's fate was decided when he filed his complaint in public. Maria ordered it to be done. The ladies withdrew, but the Virgin left Amon behind. She had something to ask the General alone and sent everyone around her.

Amon will be returning to his land after the Blessing Festival, and the two will not know when they will have such an opportunity to meet. Maria sat there looking at Amon, her eyes seemed to say thousands of words. Amon also looked at her. After a long time, the sky outside the window gradually darkened and the general should retire. "Don't you have something to ask me? I can see you have something. Go ahead. ”

Maria startled Amon when she said, "Wasn't that the girl who performed the song and dance for you that night the one who killed Redross? ”

Amon sighed slightly and sighed: "Everything can't be hidden from your eyes. I didn't mention it at all, but you thought of it. Yes, she killed Redross. The Virgin will not pursue this poor girl, will she? There is no evidence in this case either. ”

Maria said profoundly: “If I wanted to pursue her, I wouldn't be talking to you alone right now. Amon, that girl named the flower of Memphis must be beautiful, right? ”

Amon spoke in front of Maria and stuttered for the first time: “This, this, she's beautiful, I can't deny it. … but I think the true beauty is in the glorious bath of the Isis Goddess. ”

Maria's eyes were filled with laughter and a hint of unconscionable regret, but she lowered her curtains and said softly: "You have to treat her well. Her experiences are very sympathetic and her behavior is impressive. She is a strange woman who is rarely met. Perhaps the gods sent her to you, which is the true fate of the world. ”

Amon laughed: “It was really the gods who sent her to me, but they met her, and so many things happened. ”

Maria lowered her eyes and still felt Amon's eyes wrong. She raised her head and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? That's a funny laugh! Am I not right? You have spooked the whole empire for a girl. What should you do with that wretched, lonely woman? My general! ”

Amon is still laughing: “The Virgin said so, of course I will treat this girl well, I will redeem her and arrange everything. ”

Maria frowned slightly: "This is what you should do. Why are you laughing like this? ”

Amon finally laughed: “The girl's name is Thermiscus, and she is a fourth-level warrior, and if Gabriel's warrior sees her, she will love it. It's not easy for a woman to have this achievement. You are one of my most admirable people, you can't hide anything from your eyes, but there is one obvious thing that you don't see. ”

Maria curiously asked, "What is it? I don't understand what you mean. ”

Amon replied, "I didn't say, and you didn't see her, so you guessed she was the one who killed Redross. But General John liked her, very much. So obvious, you can't believe you didn't see it! I will ask Themis for her opinion and, if she so wishes, keep them together. ”

Maria's expression was a little embarrassing, too: "Oh, so that's what happened. The man who went to the farm to investigate was John, and the man who officially filed the complaint was John. When I mentioned the girl, General John's face was true... I should have seen it, just didn't notice it. You should be considerate of your subordinates and people, and you should be considerate of yourself. ”

Amon closed his smile and said, “I'll think about it when I think about it, and you should take care of yourself. ”

……

The next day, Amon sent a man to the brothel to redeem Chinatemis. The General attached great importance to this matter, and the man he sent was Captain of the Guard and General John the Great Samurai.

Unexpectedly, some reacted faster than Amon. By the time John arrived, three people had arrived to the brothel to ransom Themis, and the head was not small. He was a messenger sent by the city owner Daya Tuyang, the temple chief samurai Longteng, and a ranking officer of the Urban Property Agency and the wealthy businessman Theo himself.

Dyland, the owner of the brothel, was frightened by the situation. Anyone could have redeemed him, but now he promises that anyone will sin against the other two, which is hard to do. When John arrived, Theo was competing with the other two, and his attitude was resolute and he had to redeem Themis no matter how expensive he paid.

John was also frightened by the scene, but the general was crude and thin. When he saw Theo, he immediately understood what he was saying. “Lord Theo, are you here to redeem Miss Themis, to send General Amunda a a favor? ”

Theo saw John and greeted him with great affection. When he heard the question, he answered quickly: "Yes, I was going to send Miss Thames to the Grand General's Palace. ”

John turned around and asked the other two: "Go back and ask Lord Daya and Lord Longteng if they want to ransom Miss Thames and send her to the General too? If that is the case, it is not necessary to thank the two adults for their kindness. The General sent me personally to redeem them. ”

So that's it! There's nothing left to argue about. The two messengers are back. Theo grabbed John's arm and said, "The Great General sent you to redeem me, and I can't come for nothing. You have to give me face. The ransom money came and went and sent Miss Thames to the Grand General's Palace in my carriage. ”

John laughed: “No need for a carriage. Miss Thames is in the Grand General's Palace. I just came to say hello. As for the money...”

Dyland, the owner of the brothel, said quickly: "Miss Themis doesn't owe us money. ”

John turned his head and glanced: “You said it yourself, Miss Thames does not owe money, don't say I rely on the power of the general to crush people! ”

Dyland even nodded: “Of course she doesn't owe money. She has made a lot of money for us over the past six months. My lord said that if the general comes to redeem people, it should be the reward that Miss Thames has earned.” Dyland is just the owner of a brothel, which is the property of a great nobleman named Dreamfisher, my lord in the mouth of Dyland.

John came to ransom people and ended up just saying hello and taking away a lot of money instead of spending it. Theo refused to leave, and said to John, "Let me take you back and hold your horse. ”

John was angry and amused: “I walked here. ”

Theo: “That's great, you take my carriage back. ”
