146. God is also crazy

The old Jules gathered a crowd to commit murder, attempted to assassinate Lord Sheng Yi because of a land dispute, and was suspected of gathering a crowd to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and dozens of people present can prove it, and will be sentenced to death. Dozens of other farmers were captured, and then Redros found Themis's sister-in-law and threatened her to commit herself and sell the grange, otherwise everyone who was captured would be executed.

The end of the event was bleak, as Redros seized the widow of the Jules warriors, and Shengyi obtained the Jules family's grange. The other farmers who were captured were eventually released, but the elder Jules died in prison. Jules's widow was wronged and humiliated, and wanted to save the family, but the result was still the same, and she committed suicide by throwing herself into Ronnie Kamigawa in grief and anger.

Themis happened to be away from home at the time, and the girl had been learning martial arts from her brother since she was a child, so that she could dress up as a man. Unable to believe her brother's death, she went to the city-state of Cape to find the An-La Legion to meet her fellow villagers who had gone on the expedition with her brother, and she wanted to bring back Jules's ashes and relics with her own hands. Old Jules could not stop his daughter, so he let her go, and sent two servants with him.

By the time Themis 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 nobles desperately, but she was stopped by the farmers. With her alone, she can't kill Sheng Yi and Redros at all, and if a girl falls into the hands of those two brothers, I'm afraid it won't end well. And the case of Old Jules can't be overturned at all.

Since Shengyi and Jules framed Old Jules for gathering a crowd to rebel and attempt to assassinate him, Themis made a decision at that time that she would become a real assassin.

The hard work paid off, and Themis followed Redrose to the city of Dees, and finally found an opportunity to start. Redros "accidentally" met a beautiful girl in a tavern, and the lascivious priest came up to him for a conversation, and ended up hooking up, and then died that night.

After killing Redros, Themis returns to Monfilth in an attempt to assassinate Sheng Yi, but finds it almost impossible to succeed. This Lord Shengyi is always escorted by samurai when he travels, and the defense of the mansion is also very tight, so he can't find a chance to attack.

Sheng Yi did a lot of bad things, and he was worried that maybe someone would seek revenge on him, so he took precautions very closely. Especially after Redros was assassinated, the deputy director was even more careful not to let strangers approach easily. Themis Scarlet was only a third-level warrior at the time, and after all, she was a girl, and she couldn't compare with a really strong samurai, let alone rush through the defense to kill people.

Themis discovered that there was only one place where the Shengyi Masters would not let the guards stay around, and that was the Guardian's Academy. The deputy administrator visits almost once or twice a month, but rarely on his own.

Themis swore in front of the gods that she would do anything to avenge her, so she gritted her teeth and sold herself into the temple to become a girl here. It's not easy to assassinate Sheng Yi here, because Sheng Yi only comes once or twice a month, and maybe one of the girls is drinking with him, and he may not even see each other. Besides, the clothes that the girls here wear when they accompany the wine really can't hide anything.

So Themis came up with ingenuity and performed a sword dance for the guests. At first, the girl was naturally not allowed to take out the murder weapon in front of the guests, she used a branch as a sword to dance. Her dancing was so beautiful that the guests couldn't enjoy it, and later she switched to a wooden sword. During this time, Themis also deliberately learned dance in the temple, and asked the samurai of the courtyard for swordsmanship.

It may be sad to say, Themis Scarlet advanced in the Academy, from a third-level samurai to a fourth-level mid-level samurai. At this time, she was already glamorous, known as the flower of Mengfeisi, and when she sang and danced, she was also replaced by a real samurai sword. Those guests didn't think there was any surprise, the flower of Mengfei Si performed a sword dance, and it should be the most beautiful with a real samurai sword!

Before today, Themis Scarlet had met Shengyi twice, once when he invited distinguished guests, and the other time when he accompanied the city lord, but Themis Scarlet didn't find a chance to make a move. Because she was not sure that she jumped over the pool and killed Sheng Yi with a sword, she was not afraid of death, but because she was afraid that once she missed, she would never be able to take revenge. On both occasions, among the guests present, there were people with higher status than Shengyi, and the people who left her to accompany the wine were not Shengyi.

Today, Shengyi gathered a group of dog friends and fox parties to come here to drink and have fun, and named Themis to sing and dance, which may be a good opportunity, but Amon and John disrupted the situation, and Themis was very dissatisfied. What happened later was shocking, John broke one of Shengyi's legs and threw him out into the street, and the other guest in the room turned out to be the famous imperial general Amon.

What's even more shocking is that Amon revealed her secret in just a few words! In front of these two people, Themis Scarlet couldn't hide it, and told the past with tears.

John trembled with anger, the wine glass in his hand was pinched and deformed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "General, you just sit here well, I will go and kill Sheng Yi now!"

Ameng's face was expressionless, his eyes flashed with a cold luster in the depths of his eyes, and he said word by word: "If what this girl said is true, of course you can't let Sheng Yi go! But don't be impulsive, comfort her first." ”

What Themis said should be undisguised, and she even confessed to the assassination of Redros, and there was no need to lie. Instead, Amon kept an eye on John, and he was relieved to understand the general's fiery temper.

Although John was furious, he did not lose his sobriety and sanity. Themis had been crying since she finished speaking, and the general put his arm around the girl's trembling shoulders for a long time, and when he raised his head and looked out the door, his eyes showed a cold light of murderous intent.

Amon didn't doubt what Themis said, but he couldn't say it on the ground, he had to go to the field to investigate, so he told John a few things. That night they took Themis away, and left the city as soon as it was dawn. Originally, the girl of this academy didn't go out with guests, but the general wanted to let the flower of Mengfei Si accompany him out for a walk, and Themis was willing to do so, and the owner of the academy couldn't stop him.

The general is young and romantic, and it is normal to travel with beauties.

Out of the city, along a tributary on the east bank of the Ronnie River, went straight to Old Jule's farm, which is now the private property of Lord Shengyi. Many of the people involved are still farmers there, and the ruffians in the assassination incident can also be heard, and he and John went to investigate and collect evidence.

Amon followed John out to have fun, the original intention was to make a public appearance in Mengfeisi City, it would be best to make some noise, and let John break one of Shengyi's legs and throw him on the street, which was what an imperial general should do! He was young and meritorious, and there was no need to endure humiliation so much, otherwise it would lead to suspicion.

It's enough to break Sheng Yi's leg to make a statement, but he didn't expect to run into Themis Scarlet again. Amon is not an eventful person, but this matter cannot be ignored, otherwise it is rare to have peace of mind, just for the sake of those soldiers who followed him and died on the battlefield, and this matter must be investigated to the end.

...... But the others didn't know what Amon did, only that the general connived at John to injure the deputy governor of the city-state, and instructed Long Teng to arrest a group of noble children overnight. Just to be jealous in the courtyard, he made such a big fuss, and then took the girl out of the city to have fun like no one, Amon was so angry!

Amon won the glory of the whole country for his military exploits, but he has always been low-key and modest, and the civilian official group headed by the prime minister and some of the lineage priests who did not participate in the war are quite dissatisfied with the new forces represented by Amon. In particular, Amon himself was young but famous, and he had no foundation in the country, but his merits were too great, and he had to be rewarded heavily.

Many civilians who had made meritorious contributions in the war were also canonized as new nobles because of their military exploits, forming a new class, which was also an impact on the original hereditary aristocracy. John's removal from office and reduction of his title is a manifestation of the conflict, and Pharaoh is happy to watch from the sidelines in order to secretly contain the balance. After Amon returned to China, he forbears it peacefully, and does not go out of the fiefdom, and he treats it with silence in the face of all kinds of indirect provocations and impeachments.

People have become accustomed to this posture of the imperial general, and some people even secretly talk about his ill intentions, and some people think that this is a good opportunity to suppress him, and the general may have a ghost in his heart or also feel that he is in danger. But these people don't know the real Amon, his low-key is a habit, and forbearance is because he has lost his strength, and subconsciously avoids a lot of conflicts.

Early the next morning, a group of adults went to the city lord's mansion to complain, most of them were relatives, friends and elders of the group of noble children who were arrested, and some of them took the opportunity to teach Amon a lesson.

Daya-Tuyan, the city lord of Mengfeisi City, is very embarrassed, both sides are not easy to offend, the matter seems to be just an accidental conflict that occurred during drinking in the courtyard, and General Amon is a little heavier, so I would like to advise you to calm down. But how have these adults suffered such a loss, and they are trying to take the opportunity to suppress Amon, so they must explain it clearly. The city lord of Daya had no choice but to send someone to invite the general so that he could explain the matter to his face.

As a result, Amon didn't take the conflict at night seriously at all, and the city of Mengfei was in trouble, and he took the girl to play as if nothing happened, this attitude completely angered the adults who came to complain, and the perpetrators must be punished for the noise. How to punish it? John had already escorted Amon out of the city, and he wanted to arrest people, but the city lord of Daya didn't have the guts, and there was no reason to arrest him.

John broke one of Sheng Yi's legs, Long Teng broke the other, these people all pointed the finger at the general Amon, and only reprimanded Long Teng on the surface, but they did not dare to force the city lord to take Long Teng to justice.

Amun's official position was very high, and the only person who could really give him orders in the city of Monfils was the Holy Maiden, who was equal to the three high priests of the Temple of Isis and the lord of Daya. Since Amun could not be found, and the city lord of Daya was not easy to decide, the group of people made a lot of noise and actually ran to the holy lady to sue Amun.

In the hall where the Holy Maiden was dealing with official business, everyone talked for a long time, which was quite indignant. Mary remained silent, but when she got tired of listening, she gave Gabriel a look. Gabriel snorted and said, "My lords, you are all nobles with status, what kind of system are you in such a mess in the temple!"

Everyone stopped talking, and then the Holy Maiden opened her mouth and asked, "Daya City Lord, since someone has sued the Imperial General, and there is no basis for what he said, have you investigated the matter?"

The city lord of Daya wiped the sweat on his head: "It has been investigated, Lord Shengyi and the people who were arrested, as well as the owner of the Jiyuan and the dozen or so girls present at the time, all the confessions have been asked, there are no contradictions and omissions, and the course of the matter is very clear." ”

Maria gestured to the table, "Then show me the record." ”

The lord of Dayah presented it with both hands, and Gabriel took it and placed it in front of the holy woman. Maria didn't stretch out her hand, the dossier in front of her turned over without wind, and she finished reading it in the blink of an eye, then raised her head and looked around at everyone, and asked in a very funny tone: "Everyone, is it illegal for the general to drink and relax?"

The city lord of Daya replied: "Of course it is not illegal, but it is ......"

Gabriel interrupted him and shouted, "But what is it, don't interject, listen to the Holy Maiden's words!"

Mary asked unhurriedly, "Is it illegal for General John to ask a girl to perform a song and dance for the general with a reward of more than 20 times the money?"

Daya City Lord lowered his head and said, "It's not illegal. "Of course, what John did was not illegal, did he accuse him of inflating the price in the court?

The Holy Maiden's face turned cold: "As the captain of the imperial general's personal guard, John is responsible for guarding. Someone broke into the door with a sharp blade, and he stepped forward to injure the murderer, is it illegal?"

The room was dumb and didn't answer for a long time. High Priest Burke coughed and reminded: "But later, the Dragon Grand Warrior ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Maria said coldly: "According to the Eju Decree, if you go out at night with a murder weapon in the city-state without permission, you should have taken it down for questioning. Those who gather more than 10 people are suspected of rebellion and should be dealt with severely. There are more than ten of them, so what's wrong with Long Teng arresting people?"

Unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden had no intention of defending it, and directly took out the city-state decree to say something, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

Maria flicked her fingers, and the file on the table flew out and slapped back into the arms of the city lord of Daya, and she reprimanded: "John must have recognized Deputy Director Shengyi, and also realized that this was a misunderstanding, so he didn't hurt others anymore but just expelled the matter, and the general was already a peacemaker." Long Teng released all the people he arrested last night, and it can be regarded as mercy on his subordinates! What are you still dissatisfied with?

This was a trivial matter of the city-state's security, and it was dealt with by law, but the adults gathered in the temple to make a noise. As the guardian saint of the temple of Isis, I do not deal with the affairs of the city-state, and it is disrespectful for you to come here to disturb and question! Go back, please discipline those lawless juniors, and please think about your mistakes!"

A bunch of people ran to the saint to complain, but they were dusty, and they were fined for a month. The Holy Maiden is the Holy Maiden, and what she says is reasonable and majestic, and these people have no choice but to stand up and confess their misfortune. But before they left, someone rushed to report that something was wrong!

It turned out that Amon had returned to the city and sent his own guards to re-arrest the group that had been released last night and send them to the city-state prison. The city-state prison did not dare to accept it or not to accept it, and all the people were detained in the front hall, and the city-state officials urgently asked the city lord of Daya what to do?

Even Shengyi, who broke his two legs, Amon didn't let go. But the general was very "merciful" and let Sheng Yi continue to lie on the bed to recuperate from his injuries, but ordered his guards to tear down the three courtyard walls on his mansion, and the walls of the bedroom were also smashed open, and the hospital bed was carried directly from the house to the door of the prison, and then thrown on the street. Tens of thousands of people watched Lord Shengyi lying on the bed with two broken legs, how miserable it looked!

The adults who had just been subdued by the Holy Maiden were enraged again, and Amon was making too much trouble! Everyone was about to have a seizure, but someone from the city lord's official office came to report urgently, and Amon went there with a team of personal guards.

The sweat that Daya City Lord had just wiped off was all down again, and he asked again in a dumb voice: "Has the general demolished my official office?" If on other occasions, everyone would burst into laughter when they heard this sentence. Just now I heard that Amon took his guards to demolish Shengyi's mansion, and then the city lord of Daya learned that Amon went to the city lord's office, and his first thought turned out to be this.

The messenger replied, "No, the general drew his sword, and no one dared to stop him." He came to complain and ask for guilt, and he kicked over the table where the lord of the castle usually handles official business, and sat on your chair with a sword and waited for you. ”

A room full of surprised jaws are about to fall, I wanted to take the opportunity to impeach but I don't know what to say, this general has made things too big, it is beyond their imagination, is it crazy?

But everyone shuddered when they thought about it, they once felt that Amon was forbearing, low-key, showing weakness and being bullied, but once this great general turned his face and drew his sword, who would dare to provoke him in person? Amon was the master of thousands of troops, and he was not afraid of facing Enqidu, the number one warrior on the mainland. They thought that Amon would not make a big fuss, so they ran out to complain, but now Amon really dared to kick over the city lord's table and demolish Shengyi's mansion, these people instead shrank their heads and waited for bystanders.

If Amon gets into trouble, he will have his own pharaoh and the Eju military department to deal with it, and these people in the house will not be comfortable going up to the top, but they will be unlucky. There are also people who secretly gloat, thinking that Amon is asking for hardship this time, and he will definitely be punished heavily when he turns back, and let him toss first!

Daya City Lord felt that his head instantly grew three times, and he asked stubbornly, "Who does the general want to sue and what crime does he ask?"

The messenger replied: "The general said that there was an assassination last night, and Lord Long Teng had obviously arrested all the assassins, but the city lord ordered the murderer to be released overnight, what do you mean?
