Chapter 22: The Punishment of Vengeance

"Muzafiadin, you are guarding the door of the next room, don't make any trouble. In the end www.biquge.info, Gawain could only give such an order, and then softly comforted the sleeping officer a few words, and returned to his bedroom.

The room next to it is actually a traditional round arched prayer room, on the two-color stitched floor, the protruding semicircular vestibule quickly gathers the moonlight at night, and the hall is very bright and bright, and the sleeping officer Wen Ruomina raised her arms, which were dyed whiter by the moonlight, her hands were tied to the candlesticks on the wall, and her head and hair hung low, with a cry of humiliation and pity. Agnes, dressed in a white robe, smiled at the corners of her mouth and walked in through the doorway.

"Hey, Your Excellency Imperial Ink Officer, don't let your master think you're going too far." The Turkic servant standing there reminded him.

The little sunfish raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, indicating that the thought that you were still outside made him lose a lot of interest.

Hearing the sound of the little sunfish boots landing on the floor, Wen Ruomina's squeezed soft ridge began to chill. Suddenly there was a pain, and her hair was pulled from behind, and soon her cheeks were pressed against Agnes's, and the flickering candle flame was cast into her large, frightened pupils, "I'm going to scorch half of your face, slowly!" The little sunfish threatened menacingly.

The sleeping officer didn't even dare to shake her head and refuse, her fleshy mouth had been twisted into a broken flower by the other hand of the little sunfish, and she could only say the words of forgiveness in a vague way.

"My ancestors, my ancestors......" In a hurry, even the words of ancestor worship of the Adigai people came out.

Agnes was obviously moved by the poor "my ancestor", and she exhaled softly, and happily rested the candle she was holding on the candlestick, "I can untie you tonight, but you must report to me the materials and manpower of the canal, all right." Then I can consider reducing your punishment in the future. ”

After speaking, Agnes sat upright on the stone chair in the prayer room, "Come, come, report to me, and make your lips and teeth clear......"

The sleeping officer, who had been unbuckled, trembled and turned to face the evil man Little Sunfish, and then could only kneel down in obedience, "Yes, yes, Master Plani. ”

"Smack!" The little sunfish slapped her crisply.

Soon there was the sound of Muzafiadin coughing outside the door.

"It's called Zu." Agnes' expression sank.

"Yes, my Lord Zuprani." In the white miserable moonlight, the sleeping officer slowly knelt into the dark shadows of Agnes and the stone chair, rested his hands on the other party's waist and knees, and raised his face slightly, "Please allow me to report these things to you, the bill will be very long, please maintain your precious patience." ”

The next day, when Gawain rose to discuss the "liberation" of the slave laborers of the armed group, he found that the sleeping officer was like a bird re-locked in a cage, with some puffy eyes and dark circles under his eyes, and followed the triumphant little sunfish, Gawain seemed to be able to see the invisible dog chain in the air between the two.

So the mood of the little sunfish on this day is not generally good, but very good!

In front of the camp of the armed regiment in the Komahes River, thousands of Crescent slave laborers in filthy robes stood densely there, and Gawain, accompanied by the guards and two female officers, climbed the small tower guarded by the soldiers, and he looked at the tangled heads and felt hats that were everywhere in the sun, and said aloud, "I have given you three choices before: proselytize, migrate, and work. You are a group of laborers, and now the converts have borne the membership dues of the Reformed Church, and you have worked hard and sweaty. So I decided to restore your free status when the river was completed. After that, those of you who have the artisanal skills can go to Meritane, Sebastian, Caesarea, and even the city of Tarsus to earn a living, where there are special neighborhoods for you; The rest of the people will be able to cultivate and graze sheep in the land, and you will be given land and pasture. You will have the right to worship, but you will not marry the Oghuz, you will not refuse to stay in your house with the Christian people and the army, you will not spread the teachings of Muhammad, you will not be able to use the Shari'ah to govern but you will be subject to the 'law of peoples' and the law of the people, and you will not harm sheep, donkeys or camels. Also, you have to pay a fifteen-year 'ransom' than Roman citizens and converts, and you have to pay an extra 'death tax' on your deathbed. This provision will be codified in the Edict of the Maharaja of Tarsus, and in due course it will be included in the Encyclopedia of the Law of Nations. ”

Although there are harsh aspects of these emancipation clauses in Gawain, this was quite merciful in the Middle Ages! Sure enough, the members of the armed regiment below immediately shouted, knelt down in dense groups, thanked King Tarsus for his grace with tears, and shouted that the river should be completed as soon as possible, both to repay and to be free as soon as possible.

"Hey, why haven't you converted yet?" The little sunfish quietly and curiously asked Muzafi Adin.

"What am I going to do with my conversion? I hardly pray now, and Allah has long since abandoned me. And I see that the master never prays and prays, and is forced to go by Caesar every time, and even if he goes, he will be scolded by Caesar as a false Taoist. The Turkic servant approached the little sunfish and replied.

Wen Ruomina was also a little nervous at this time, and couldn't help but purse her lips, she also hid idols in her own room in the palace, and she had a sentence that she would never dare to say, that is, although Caesar would scold the great patron like that, but in fact, she once happened to see these two secretly and fiercely in the small prayer room of the palace It was before Caesar's second pregnancy, "It can be seen that Caesar is not so pious", Wen Ruomina thought, although Caesar was still holding the strong back of the great patron and shouting constantly"Our Lady save me", but straightening and elevating your feet will not deceive. Thinking of this, Wen Ruominna's mood relaxed again.

Soon when Gawain walked down the tower, the slaves of the armed regiment knelt on the ground and struggled forward to express their gratitude for their grace, despite the obstacles and shoves of the border people and guards......

After a few days, the little sunfish handed over the planned river blueprints to the local overseers, and insisted on continuing to follow the chief guarantor north to Sebastian to inspect the construction of the local Paulician market town.

"Well, since Anna has asked you to keep an eye on me, let's come along." Gawain said sarcastically.

As for the sleeping officer, she could only cry secretly, packed her books and followed behind these two, and continued her humiliating journey.

In the early winter, the whole procession of the Grand Patron began to leave the Comachus River and continue northward, but before they reached their destination, they could see the small market towns of the Paulicians and the dense villages, fields, and orchards, where the Holy Sister of the Flame Banner had been waiting in advance.
