The old Jules gathered a crowd to commit an attack, attempted to assassinate Mr. Sheng Yi because of a land dispute, and was suspected of gathering a crowd to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. Dozens of people present can prove that he will be sentenced to death. Dozens of farmers were also arrested. At this time, Redros found Themis Fei's sister-in-law and threatened her to commit herself to herself and sell the farm, otherwise all those caught would be executed.
The ending of the incident was bleak. Redrose occupied Jules warrior's widow, and Shengyi got the farm of the old Jules family. The other farmers who were arrested were eventually released, but old Jules died in prison. The widow of Jules was wronged and humiliated. She wanted to save the family, but the result was still the same. In grief and anger, she threw herself into the river of Ronnie.
Themis Fei happened to be not at home at the time. This girl learned martial arts from her brother since she was a child, so she could dress up as a man. Because she couldn't believe the news of her brother's death, she went to the cape city-state, and she must find the An-La Legion to meet the fellow countrymen who went out with her brother. She also wanted to bring back Jules' ashes and relics with her own hands. Old Jules couldn't stop his daughter, so he let her go, and sent two servants to go with him.
When Themis Fei returned to the farm, her family was ruined. She was so sad and indignant that she was about to draw her sword to find the two noble lords desperately, but was stopped by the farmers. With her own strength, she couldn't kill Shengyi and Redrose at all, and if a girl fell into the hands of those two brothers, there would be no good end for her. Moreover, the old Jules case cannot be overturned at all.
Since Shengyi and Jules framed the old Jules for gathering a crowd to rebel and attempt to assassinate, Themis Fei made a decision at that time that she would be a real assassin.
The hard work paid off, and Themis Fei followed Rederos to the city of Des, and finally found a chance to make a move. Redrose "accidentally" met a beautiful girl in a tavern. The lustful priest approached him, hooked him up, and died that night.
After killing Redros, Themis Fei returned to Memphis, trying to find an opportunity to assassinate Shengyi, but found it almost impossible to succeed. Mr. Sheng Yi always has warrior guards when he travels, and the defense of the mansion is also very tight, and there is no chance to strike.
Cheng Yi did many bad things, and he was also worried that someone might seek revenge on him, so he took strict precautions. Especially after Redrose was assassinated, the deputy director became more careful and never let strangers approach easily. Themis Fei was only a three-pole warrior at the time, and she was a girl after all, so she couldn't compare with a real strong warrior, let alone rush through the defense to kill.
Themis Fei found that there was only one place where Master Sheng Yi would not let the guards stay by his side, and that was the brothel of Memphis. The Deputy Administrator visits once or twice a month, but rarely alone.
Themis Fei swore in front of the gods that she would pay any price for revenge, so she gritted her teeth and sold herself into a brothel to become a girl here. It's not easy to assassinate Sheng Yi here, because Sheng Yi only comes once or twice a month, maybe some girl is drinking with him, and he may not even see each other. What's more, the clothes that the girls here wear when drinking with them can't hide anything.
So Themis was ingenious and performed a sword dance for the guests. At the beginning, the girl naturally couldn't take out the murder weapon in front of the guests. She used a branch as a sword to dance. Her dance was so beautiful that the guests couldn't enjoy watching it, so she changed it to a wooden sword later. During this period of time, Themis Fei specially learned dancing in the brothel, and also asked the guards for swordsmanship.
It may be sad to say that Themis Fei advanced in a brothel, from a three-level warrior to a fourth-level intermediate warrior. At this time, she was already in full bloom, known as the flower of Meng Feisi, and she also changed into a real warrior's long sword when singing and dancing. The guests didn't think there was anything unexpected. The flower of Mengfeisi performed the sword dance, it should be the most beautiful with a real samurai sword!
Before today, Themis Fei met Sheng Yi twice, one time when he invited distinguished guests, and the other time when he accompanied the city lord, but Themis Fei didn't find a chance to do anything. Because she was not sure about jumping over the pool and killing Sheng Yi with a sword, she was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that if she missed, she would never be able to take revenge. However, these two times, among the guests present, there were people with higher status than Shengyi, and it was not Shengyi who left her to accompany the drink.
Today, Shengyi gathered a group of dog friends and foxes to come here for drinking and having fun. It might be a good opportunity to make Themis Fei sing and dance, but it happened that Amon and John messed up again, and Themis Fei was very dissatisfied . What happened later was shocking, John broke one of Sheng Yi's legs and threw him into the street, and the other guest sitting there turned out to be the famous Imperial General Amon.
What's even more shocking is that Amon broke her secret in a few words! In front of these two people, Themis couldn't hide anything, and told the past with tears.
John was trembling with anger, the wine glass in his hand was pinched and deformed, he gritted his teeth and said, "General, you just sit right here, I'm going to kill Sheng Yi now!"
Amon's face was expressionless, with a cold glint in the depths of his eyes, and he said word by word: "If what this girl said is true, of course we can't let Sheng Yi go! But don't be impulsive, comfort yourself first." her."
There should be no pretense in what Themis said. She even admitted to assassinating Redros, and there is no need to lie. Instead, Amon kept observing John. He understood that the general had a violent temper, so he was relieved.
Although John was furious, he did not lose his sobriety and reason. After Themis Fei finished speaking, she kept crying. The general hugged the girl's trembling shoulders and comforted her for a long time. When he raised his head and looked outside the door, his eyes showed a murderous look.
Amon didn't doubt what Themis Fei said, but he couldn't just rely on it. He had to go to the field to investigate, so he ordered John to do a few things. They took Themis away that night, and went out to play at dawn. The girls in this brothel originally didn't go out with the guests, but the general wanted Memphis Flower to accompany him to go out to relax, and Themis Fei wanted to, even the brothel owner couldn't stop her.
It is very common for a general to travel with beauties when he is young and flirtatious.
Out of the city, follow a tributary on the east bank of the Roni River and go straight to Old Jules' farm, which has now become Mr. Shengyi's private property. Many of the parties involved are still farmers there, and the local ruffians in the assassination incident can also be inquired about. He and John went to investigate and collect evidence.
Amon went out to have fun with John, the original intention was to show up in the city of Memphis, it would be best to make some noise, let John break Shengyi's leg and throw it on the street, this is what the generals of the empire should do! He is young and young and has made outstanding achievements, so there is no need to bear the burden of humiliation so much, otherwise he will be suspicious.
Just do what you want, breaking Shengyi's leg to express your opinion is enough, but I didn't expect to run into Themis Fei again. Amon is not a troublesome person, but this matter cannot be ignored, otherwise it will be difficult to have peace of mind, just for the soldiers who followed him to the battlefield, and they must investigate this matter to the end.
…
But the others didn't know what Amon was doing. They only said that the general allowed John to injure the deputy director of the city state, and ordered Long Teng to arrest a group of noble children overnight. Just to make such a big commotion just to be jealous in the brothel, and then take the girl out of the city to have fun like nothing happened, Amon has committed public anger by doing this!
Amon has won the glory admired by the whole country with his military exploits, but he has always been low-key and modest. The civilian group headed by the prime minister and some lineage priests who did not participate in the war are quite dissatisfied with the new forces represented by Amon. In particular, Amon himself became famous at a young age, and he had no foundation in Eju, but his contribution was too great, so he had to be rewarded heavily.
Many civilians who made great achievements in the war were also canonized as new nobles because of their military achievements, forming a new class, which was also an impact on the original hereditary noble forces. John's dismissal of his title was a manifestation of contradictions and conflicts, and Pharaoh was also happy to watch in order to secretly control the balance. After Amon returned to the country, he forbeared peacefully, stayed behind closed doors in the fiefdom, and faced all kinds of indirect provocations and impeachments, he treated them with silence.
People have become accustomed to this posture of the imperial general, and some people even secretly discuss that he has ulterior motives, and some people think that this is a good opportunity to suppress him. This general may have ghosts in his heart or feel in danger. But these people don't know the real Amon. His low profile is a habit, and his forbearance is because he lost his strength and subconsciously avoided many conflicts.
Early the next morning, a group of adults went to the City Lord's Mansion to file a complaint. Most of them were relatives, friends and elders of the arrested noble children, and some of them took the opportunity to teach Amon a lesson.
The lord of Memphis City, Daya-Tu Yang, is in a difficult situation. Both sides are not easy to offend. The matter seems to be just an accidental conflict over drinking in a brothel, and General Amon is a little bit harsher. I'd like to advise you all to calm down. . But these grown-ups have never suffered such a loss, and they are trying to take the opportunity to suppress Amon, so they must clearly explain it. The Lord Daya had no choice but to send someone to invite the General to explain the matter face to face.
As a result, Amon didn't take the conflict at night seriously at all. The city of Memphis was in trouble, and he took the girl to play as if nothing had happened. This attitude completely angered all the adults who came to complain. The perpetrators must be punished. How to punish? John had already escorted Amon out of the city, and wanted to arrest him, but the Lord Daya didn't have the courage, and there was no reason to arrest him.
John broke one of Sheng Yi's legs, and Long Teng broke the other. These people all pointed their finger at General Amon, and they only superficially reprimanded Long Teng, but they didn't dare to force the city lord to bring him down.
Amon's official position is very high. In Memphis City, he is on an equal footing with the three high priests of the Isis Temple and the Lord of Daya City. The only person who can really give him orders is the saint. Since Amon couldn't be found, and the Lord of Daya couldn't make a decision, the group made a lot of noise and ran to the Holy Maiden to sue Amon.
In the meeting hall where the Holy Maiden handles official business, everyone chattered for a long time, which seemed to be a bit exciting. Maria didn't speak for a while, but she got really impatient and gave Gabriel a wink. Gabriel snorted and said, "My lords, you are all distinguished nobles. How can you be so messy in the temple!"
Everyone stopped talking, and then the Holy Maiden asked: "City Master Daya, since someone sued the Imperial General, and his words are groundless, have you investigated what happened?"
The Lord of Daya wiped the sweat from his brow: "It has been investigated, Mr. Sheng Yi and the arrested people, as well as the owner of the brothel and the dozen or so girls who were present at the time, have all asked the confessions, and there are no contradictions or omissions. Here, what happened is very clear."
Maria pointed to the table: "Then show me the records."
The Lord of Daya offered his hands, and Gabriel took it and placed it in front of the saint. Maria didn't reach out, and flipped through the file in front of her without any wind. She finished reading it in the blink of an eye, then raised her head and looked around the crowd, and asked in a funny tone, "Everyone, is it illegal for the general to drink and relax?"
Mayor Daya replied: "Of course it's not illegal, but..."
Gabriel interrupted him, and shouted: "But what is it? Don't interrupt, let the Holy Maiden finish her question!"
Maria asked unhurriedly: "General John paid more than 20 times the reward to invite a girl to perform songs and dances for the general to cheer him up. Is this illegal?"
The Mayor of Daya lowered his head and said, "It's not illegal." Of course what John did was not illegal, could he be accused of driving up the price in a brothel
The Holy Maiden's face turned cold: "John, as the captain of the imperial general's personal guard, is responsible for guarding. Someone broke into the door with a sharp knife, and he stepped forward to attack the murderer. Is it against the law?"
Everyone in the room was dumb and didn't answer for a long time. High Priest Burke coughed and reminded: "But later, Dragon Warrior..."
Before he finished speaking, Maria said coldly: "According to the Ecu decree, anyone who carries a murder weapon out in the city-state at night without permission should have been arrested and questioned. Those who gather more than ten people and are suspected of rebellion should be dealt with seriously. There are more than ten of them, so what's wrong with Long Teng arresting them?"
Unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden had no intention of defending, and directly took out the city-state decree to explain the matter, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
With a snap of Maria's fingers, the file on the table flew out and was patted back into the arms of Mayor Daya. She reprimanded: "John must have recognized Deputy Director Sheng Yi and realized that it was a misunderstanding, so there is no Hurting others again is just expelling the matter, the general has calmed down the matter. Long Teng released all the people he arrested last night, which can be regarded as being merciful! What else do you have to complain about
This is a small matter of the city-state's security, and it needs to be dealt with by law, but all the adults gathered in the temple to make a noise. As the guardian saint of the Isis Temple, I do not deal with the affairs of the city gang. It is disrespectful for you to come here to harass and question the gods! Thinking that there is a reason for the incident, the sentence will be given lightly. All those with official titles present today will be fined and offered to the temple for one month. Everyone, go back, please discipline those lawless juniors well, and please think about your own mistakes! "
A bunch of people went to the saint to complain, but they got a bad nose, and were fined a month's salary and went home to think about their mistakes. The Holy Maiden is the Holy Maiden, what she said was reasonable and full of majesty, these people had no choice but to get up and plead guilty. However, they haven't left yet, and someone hastily came to report—something serious happened!
The matter was really serious. It turned out that Amon had returned to the city, and sent his personal guards to arrest the group of people who had been released last night and send them to the city-state prison. The city-state prison neither dared to accept nor refused to accept them, and all the people were detained in the front hall. What should the city-state officials urgently ask the Daya City Lord for instructions
Amon didn't even let Shengyi break his legs. But the general was very "merciful" and let Sheng Yi continue to lie on the bed to recuperate. He just ordered the guards to tear down the three courtyard walls on his mansion, smashed the wall of the bedroom, and lifted the hospital bed directly from the house. When they reached the gate of the prison, they were just thrown on the street. Thousands of people watched Master Sheng Yi lying on the bed with two broken legs, how miserable he looked!
The adults who had just been subdued by the saintess were angered again, and Amon's trouble was too outrageous! Everyone was about to explode, but someone from the city lord's office came to report urgently, and Amon went there with a team of personal guards.
The sweat that the Lord of Daya had just wiped off came off again, and he asked again in a hoarse voice: "Has the general demolished my government office?" If it were on other occasions, everyone would burst into laughter when they heard this sentence. . Just now I heard that Amon brought his personal guards to demolish Shengyi's mansion, and then the Daya City Lord learned that Amon had gone to the city lord's office, and the first thought was this.
The person who came to report the letter replied: "That's not the case. The general drew his sword and came, and no one dared to stop him. He came to complain and to inquire about crimes. He kicked over the table where the city lord usually handles official business. Just sit on your chair with your sword and wait for you."
The jaws of everyone in the room almost dropped in surprise. They wanted to take the opportunity to impeach but they didn't know what to say. This general made a big fuss, which simply exceeded their imagination. Could it be that he was crazy
But after thinking about it, everyone shuddered. They thought that Amon was forbearing and low-key, showing weakness to be bullied, but once the general turned his face and drew his sword, who would dare to provoke him face to face? Amon was the master who came out of thousands of troops, and he was never afraid of facing Enkidu, the number one warrior in the mainland. They thought that Amon would not make a big fuss, so they came out to complain. Now that Amon really dared to kick over the city lord's table and tear down Shengyi's mansion, these people turned their heads back and waited to watch.
If Amon got into trouble, Pharaoh and Eju's military department would handle it himself. Those people in the room went to the top to find out that they were uncomfortable, but I was the one who was unlucky. Some people secretly gloated, thinking that Amon was asking for trouble this time, and he would definitely be punished heavily in the future, so let him make trouble first!
City Lord Daya felt his head grow three times in an instant, and asked bravely, "Who is the general going to sue, and what crime is he asking?"
The messenger replied: "The general said that there were assassins last night, Lord Long Teng had already caught all the assassins, but the city lord ordered the murderers to go away overnight. What does it mean? Could it be that you instigated these assassins behind the scenes?" Is it, or do you adults want to condone the gangsters to assassinate the general?"
