Chapter 156: She is the murderer

Views:

Long Teng didn't bother the "elegance" of General Amon, but told the brothel owner: "Do you know who is being served by General John today? It's General Amon of the Empire! You wait carefully and wait for the general to have fun." , tell me. Let me tell you that Long Teng has come here to solve a little trouble and let the general have a good time. It’s rare to go back to Mengfeisi, so don’t disappoint.”

Long Teng was still angry after arresting a group of people, he left the brothel and went straight to Sheng Yi's mansion, smashed three gates in succession, and grabbed Sheng Yi who was being treated from the bed.

Sheng Yi was waiting for the news that his companion had captured John back, but what he was waiting for was the great warrior Long Teng who broke into the door. Long Teng didn't touch his right leg which had just been fixed with a splint, but broke his left leg again with a wave of his hand. Sheng Yi fainted from the pain on the spot, Long Teng woke him up and said, "Do you know what you have done? How dare you commit an attack in front of the imperial general Amon!"

Long Teng originally wanted to arrest Sheng Yi and bring him into the barracks, but seeing that he had two broken legs and was difficult to deal with, he had to send someone to take care of him when he was brought back, so he simply didn't take him away, since he couldn't escape anyway.

Why did Long Teng do this? In fact, he also hated Sheng Yi and his group in his heart. John and Long Teng once fought side by side and gained glory with their military exploits, but they were impeached by the villain and stripped of their titles. This is a slap in the face of Amon. Long Teng was also the commander of the legion under Amon's command, and he felt a fire in his heart, thinking that this was a humiliation to the glory of the warrior.

Speaking of the "glorious deeds" of fighting and making troubles, Long Teng was no worse than John when he was young, and he had a solid foundation in the Eju military, and he was never afraid of anyone. Now that he has become the chief warrior of the Temple of Isis and the head of the Imperial Army, he is naturally much more prudent, but he has always provoked people, who has provoked him? Today is his chance. He is expressing his anger on behalf of Amon and John, as well as the soldiers on the front line.

Isn't it just breaking a leg, John dares, why is he not afraid, besides, it happened for a reason and not for nothing, who can do anything to Long Teng because of this incident

This night, Mengfeisi City is very lively! Long Teng captured so many noble children at once, how could these people have no relatives and friends, the whole city was about to explode. Many relatives, friends and elders of those arrested ran to the city lord's mansion to ask for their release, but they were not in the city-state prison. City Lord Daya found Long Teng overnight and ordered him to be released.

It was said to be an order, but it was actually begging Long Teng to let him go first. It would not be too late to deal with it after finding out what happened. What's the matter with locking these noble children in the barracks? Long Teng reluctantly nodded and agreed to let people go, but said on purpose: "People can be let go first, but the matter cannot be settled. These people armed with weapons in the middle of the night attempted to attack General Amon, they must be investigated and dealt with clearly!"

The next day, a group of people went to the city lord's mansion to file a complaint. Naturally, they sued General Amon for conniving John's murder, and ordered the legion commander Long Teng to arrest him in the middle of the night. This group suffered a great loss and took the opportunity to blame Amon on the head. The Lord of Daya City sent someone to invite Amon to find out the situation, but Amon disappeared again. It is said that the general took a fancy to a prostitute last night, and today he took the girl and his guards out of the city to play.

Why would Amon take Themis out of the city to play at this time? Last night, Long Teng made a big fuss in Meng Feisi, but Amon didn't know it beforehand, and he didn't expect that the legion commander would intervene to make things so big, and everything would have to start from the beginning.

John showed great power, threw Shengyi and his dog friends out of the brothel, walked back to the incense hall with a large handful of long swords he had stolen, threw the pile of weapons on the ground, and shouted to the guys to throw those weapons away. Removed the broken screen, moved a new one to block the door, and then jumped over the pool to salute: "I'm sorry to disturb the general's elegance."

Amon said with a smile: "It's just a small night, how can you disturb the general's interest? It's just a trivial scene, come, come, let's continue to drink."

The girls in the brothel have seen a lot of fights, but they have never seen such a scene. John is too "heroic", and this young man's tone is too loud! Master Sheng Yi and his distinguished guests are just a group of young people, and they are not even qualified to disturb this guy's interest in drinking. What is his background

The girls in the party are always observant. Just now, all of them were pale with fright, but now they all smiled happily. They hugged John delicately and held hands together, and kept raising their glasses to toast Amon. Themis stood up with a full glass of wine, and said to John in the "flower bushes", "General, I would like to offer you a toast, to your bravery and invincibility! Your name is John, where is it?" General John?"

Before John could answer, the owner of the brothel, Dilland, ordered the men to bring a brand new screen, which was temporarily moved from another incense hall, and two new doors were removed to replace this incense hall. Broken door. Standing on the other side of the pool, Dilande said in fear and trepidation: "General Amon, I didn't know it was you who came here, please forgive me! Just now, Master Long Teng passed by and took down all the people who offended you, and asked me to tell you, please take good care of yourself." Have fun, it’s rare to go back to Mengfeisi, don’t disappoint!”

Several girls screamed in surprise and shouted, "Amon, the great general of the empire, Amon! My God, is it really you?"

Amon smiled slightly: "I am Amon, don't be so surprised, right? This is my personal guard captain, General John, who was also the former commander of the Isis Legion. He followed me through life and death among thousands of troops. I didn't expect that here, a group of Xiaoxiao would dare to commit murder in front of me."

Dilland shuddered in fright, and quickly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Mr. Shengyi and the others didn't know it was your old man..."

Amon's face darkened: "Am I very old?... Everyone, including the band behind, I have something to talk to this Scarlet Girl of Themis alone."

John thought that Amon had taken a fancy to Themis Fei and wanted to do something happy here, and he didn't want anyone to watch and disturb him. He hesitated to speak, turned around and waved his hands and shouted: "Did you hear that? The general has an order, everyone should go out and not stay nearby!"

The boss, the buddy, the band, and a dozen girls were all driven away. John went outside the screen to guard the door himself, but he heard Amon call out: "John, I didn't let you go too, come in."

John turned and went in again, not forgetting to close the newly replaced door. Going around the screen and jumping over the pool, I saw Themis Fei knelt in front of Amon and said, "So you are the great general of the empire, Amon, the little girl is really blind!"

John smiled and asked, "I've been calling him the general just now, did the girl not react?"

Themis Fei explained with some embarrassment: "The guests here, who doesn't like to flatter each other after drinking? Even if it's just a small leader of the city-state garrison, he likes to be called a general in front of the girls. Never expected , Today is the real general of the empire.”

John scratched the back of his head again and asked Amon, "General, you want to drink alone with Miss Themis, why did you call me in?"

Amon pointed to the glass on the table: "Just now Miss Themis is toasting to you, and I haven't drunk this glass of wine yet!"

John laughed and said, "So that's how it is. The general always does things from the beginning to the end." He picked up the cup and drank it down, and said to Themis, "Thank you for your compliment, girl. I'll finish this glass of wine!" Themis Fei also knelt there and picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

After drinking, John asked again: "Does the general have any orders? If there is nothing... I will go outside and stay."

Amon stretched out his hand and pointed to the reclining chair opposite: "Of course there is something, you sit down first and listen to me to ask a few words."

John didn't know which song Amon was going to sing, so he sat down again inexplicably. And Amon asked Themis who was kneeling in front of him kindly, "Girl, how long have you been here? John is a frequent visitor here, why hasn't he seen you before?"

He didn't wake her up, and Themis Fei had to kneel and answer: "According to the days, it's been half a year."

Amon asked again: "You are a Qinu, right?"

Themis Fei bowed her head and said, "Yes."

The so-called bond slaves are different from the usual hereditary slaves. They become slaves within a certain period of time or under certain conditions because of some kind of contract, such as accepting punishment and repaying debts. Such a person may lose his status as a freeman forever and become a real slave, or he may redeem his status and regain his freedom. The most common were prisoners of war, who were often enslaved by the enemy, but could also be exchanged or redeemed.

Amon continued to ask unhurriedly: "You are still a mid-level warrior, aren't you?"

Themis hung her head even lower: "Yes, this can't be hidden from the general's eyesight, I am a fourth-level warrior."

Amon's next question was inexplicable: "You must have been to the capital of King Eju, right?"

Themis replied subconsciously: "Yes, I have been there before."

At this time, Amon smiled: "You can get up and sit next to General John."

John was even more puzzled, and asked a little nervously: "General, what do you mean? Why didn't Miss Themis accompany you to drink?"

Amon pointed to Themis and said, "John, didn't you always want to know who killed Redrose? It was the priest who wrote to impeach you, who was also Sheng Yi's distant cousin. Now the murderer is here, You saw her!"

John stood up abruptly: "What! Did she kill Redrose? General, are you kidding me?"

Themis Fei just stood up and was going to John's side, when she heard Amon's words, her face turned pale instantly, and her body couldn't help shaking. Judging by her reaction, one can tell that what Amon said is true.

Amon picked up his glass and took a sip: "John, you don't have to be surprised...Girl, you don't have to be afraid either. Since I made everyone back down, I just want to give you a chance to explain clearly why you killed Redrose , why did you attempt to assassinate Lord Shengyi again today? Even if you could kill Shengyi on this occasion, you would surely die yourself, who gave you the courage to do this, or was someone forcing you?"

Themis Fei knelt down again: "General, no one forced me, all of this is my own choice, no matter how much the price is, I am willing to bear any consequences."

John was dumbfounded when he heard that, Amon was simply amazing, he went to a brothel and drank a few glasses of wine, and met Shengyi face to face, how did he know that a girl in the brothel was the murderer of Redrose? The cause and effect are both complicated and simple to say, because Amon can perceive the true emotions in other people's hearts.

When Sheng Yi rushed in with his sword, Themis Fei subconsciously wanted to reach out for the sword, and Amon could really feel the killing intent rising in the girl's heart—she wanted to kill Sheng Yi! This situation is too surprising. A girl practiced physical skills to become a mid-level warrior, but she was reduced to perform sword dance in a brothel. When she saw the nobleman, she suddenly had a killing intent. The killing intent was so strong that it was almost unstoppable. Obviously, she had a deep hatred .

George had read the investigation file of Redrose's assassination and told Amon the result. Redrose died on the bed in the bedroom with half of his underwear undone, with a look of horror and bewilderment. He is a priest, and he is not without the ability to protect himself. When he was assassinated, no movement was heard outside. Obviously, he was assassinated at close quarters without any precautions. He was taking off his underwear at the time, and the scene was very intriguing.

Redrose is from Memphis, and he often fools around with his cousin Sheng Yi. Many bad things are done by the two together. George also told Amon about these things. Finding out today that Themis Fei wanted to kill Sheng Yi, and thinking of the girl's strong dissatisfaction when she first entered the door, Amon understood that she wanted to take today's opportunity to assassinate. Reminiscent of the situation when Rederos was assassinated, and asked Themis Fei a few seemingly irrelevant questions, Amon came to a conclusion in his mind.

But Themis Fei didn't know this, and Amon didn't say it in a guessing tone, but directly told John that she was the murderer who killed Redrose. The tone was definitely beyond doubt, and it seemed unfathomable! He is Amon, the great general of the empire, and he spoke so bluntly. The rumors of Themis' scandal felt like a thunderstorm, and he couldn't hide it anymore, and he didn't want to deny it.

Seeing that Themis Fei actually admitted it, John stepped forward and said, "Why? Why did you kill him?"

Themis Fei raised her head, her face was full of tears: "General, you have returned with honor, and your reputation has spread throughout the continent and is admired by the whole country. But what about the soldiers who died in battle? They sacrificed their lives in obscurity. Life, family members also suffer sorrow and suffering. My brother, whose name is Jules, served in your army and died in battle."

John slapped his forehead and said, "What! Are you Jules' sister? I remember him. He was a small captain of the An-La Legion. He was very brave in combat. He died in a surprise attack covering the general's infiltration into the Hardi line of defense. It was An-La. -One of the first fallen heroes of the Legion of La."

Amon frowned slightly and said, "Jule? I remember this name. He was included in the list of pensions and awards submitted to the Imperial Army. Girl, sit up and talk. John, pour her a glass of wine... I just don't want to Understood, what does this have to do with your assassination of Redrose?"

Themis Fei's body was still trembling slightly, John helped her to sit on the recliner, handed her a glass of wine, and heard the girl tell a sad and tragic past—

Themis Fei is not from aristocratic background, but her family is fairly well-to-do. Her family owns a farm on the outskirts of Memphis, and there are many farmers and servants in the farm. Her father, the old Jules, was a warrior who taught his son martial arts since he was a child, and Themis Fei also loved martial arts, so he pestered his brother to teach him in private. Jules likes this beautiful and lively younger sister very much. Her brother taught her physical and martial arts.

The Ronnie River diverges into many fan-shaped tributaries at the mouth of the sea, forming a large delta state, which is seasonally inundated land that can be cultivated when the flood recedes. The farm of the Jules family is on the east bank of the Roni River, and a small tributary passes by. In order to prevent the land from being submerged when the flood comes, they organized the farmers to build a dam to drain the water. finished. The fields here can be irrigated and cultivated all year round, and the harvest is twice as high as that of nearby farms.

Downstream of this tributary is the family territory owned by Sheng Yi. He took a fancy to Old Jules' farm and sent someone to buy this piece of land that can be irrigated and cultivated in all seasons. The price he paid was very low. Old Rules Of course Le refused. Later, he sent someone to make trouble, saying that the dam built upstream polluted the water source downstream. This was obviously nonsense, and the old Jules ignored it.

Sheng Yi organized a group of local ruffians, who used this excuse to often come to the farm to make troubles, trying to prevent the farmers from farming, thus forcing the old Jules to sell the land at a low price. At that time, Jules was at home, and there were a group of young and strong children who followed him to practice martial arts, and he taught these local ruffians a few times. Sheng Yi hated his teeth itching, and there was nothing he could do for a moment.

Later, both Jules and Shengyi's disciple Redros were conscripted to serve in the Amon Legion. Jules became a small captain, and the group of young and strong children in his hometown also became his soldiers. Redrose was wounded by John during the march, and he returned to his hometown to recuperate in desperation, and lived in that territory.

One day Redrose was walking by the river, and saw a beautiful woman working in the field from afar, and she was out of her wits at that time. After I went back, I found out that the woman was Jules' wife, and her husband was not easy to mess with.

Not long after, the bad news came that Jules was killed on the battlefield, and the whole family fell into boundless grief. But for Sheng Yi and Red Rose, this is good news! Sheng Yi had long wanted to clean up the old Jules' family, and Redrose was also encouraging him to come up with bad ideas.

They hired a group of idle rogues to make trouble on the farm, and they ran away when they saw someone chasing them away, and this happened several times. For the last time, this group of people ran to the river and tried to dig the dam. If they did this, the years of hard work of the Jules family would be ruined. Old Jules was also a warrior, so he immediately took up his weapon and rushed over with dozens of farmers and servants. The nature of the problem was no longer purely making trouble.

This group of rascals ran away again, and the thoroughly enraged old Jules led his men in hot pursuit, and accidentally entered the territory of Shengyi's family, and happened to bump into the car of Shengyi and Redrose head-on. I don't know who took the opportunity to stab Sheng Yi's horse, and a scuffle broke out out of nowhere. Immediately afterwards, a large number of guards in armor rushed over, took down Old Jules and others without any explanation, and sent them all to the city-state prison.
