145, she is the murderer
Long Teng did not bother the "elegance" of General Amun, but only instructed the owner of the Academy: "Do you know who General John entertained today? Let's just say that Long Teng has come, solve a little trouble easily, let the general have a good time, and it is rare to go back to Mengfeisi, don't spoil the fun. β
Long Teng grabbed a group of people and was still angry, left the Ji Yuan and went straight to Shengyi's mansion, kicked and smashed three gates one after another, and pulled Shengyi, who was being treated, from the bed.
Sheng Yi was waiting for the news that his companions had captured John, but what he was waiting for was the great warrior Long Teng who broke through the door. Long Teng didn't touch his right leg, which he had just secured with the splint, but he waved his left leg and broke it again. Sheng Yi fainted on the spot, and after Long Teng woke him up, he said, "Do you know what you have done?
Long Teng originally wanted to arrest Sheng Yi into the barracks, but seeing that he had broken two legs, it was difficult to deal with it, and he had to send someone to serve him when he brought him back, so he simply didn't take it away, and he couldn't run away anyway.
Why did Long Teng do this? In fact, he also hated Sheng Yi and his gang in his heart. John and Long Teng once fought side by side and won glory with their military exploits, but they were impeached by villains and stripped of their positions, which was a slap in the face of Amon. Long Teng, who had also been the commander of the army under Amun, had a fire in his heart, believing it to be an insult to the glory of the samurai.
If you want to talk about the "glorious deeds" of fighting and making trouble, 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 great warrior of the Temple of Isis and the head of the Emperor's [***], he has naturally acted much more steadily, but he has always provoked people, who has provoked him? Today is the opportunity, he is for Amon and John, but also for the soldiers on the front line.
Isn't it just to break a leg, John dares, what is he not afraid of, besides, it is not for nothing that there is a reason for it, who can take him off because of this matter?
On this night, Mengfeisi City was lively! Long Teng captured so many noble children at once, how could these people have no relatives and friends, and the whole city was about to fry. Many relatives, friends and elders of the arrested people ran to the city lord's mansion to ask for their release, but they were not in the city-state prison. The city lord of Daya found Long Teng overnight and ordered the release of the people.
said that it was an order, but in fact, he begged Long Teng to release the people first, and then it would not be too late to deal with it after the matter was clarified, what is the matter with keeping these noble children in the barracks? Long Teng reluctantly nodded and agreed to release the people, but deliberately said: "The people can be released first, but the matter cannot be finished." These people are armed with weapons in the middle of the night and try to attack General Amun, we must find out and deal with it clearly!"
The next day, a bunch of people ran to the city lord's mansion to complain, naturally accusing General Amon of conniving at John's murder, and instructed the army commander Long Teng to arrest people in the middle of the night. The city lord of Daya sent someone to ask Amon to understand the situation, but Amon disappeared again, and it is said that the general took a fancy to a girl last night, and today he took the girl and his guards out of the city to play.
How could Amon take Themis out of the city at this time? Last night, Longteng made a big fuss about Mengfeisi, Amon didn't know in advance, and he didn't expect that this legion commander would intervene to make such a big fuss, and everything had to start from the beginning.
...... John was so powerful that he threw Shengyi and his dog friends out of the courtyard, walked back to the incense hall with a large handful of swords, threw the pile of weapons to the ground, and shouted to the man to remove the broken screen, and move a new one in front of the door, and then jumped over the pool and saluted: "I'm sorry to disturb the general's Yaxing." β
Amon smiled and said, "It's just a small night, how can you disturb the interest of this general? β
The girls of the Records Academy have usually seen a lot of fights and troubles, but they have never seen this kind of scene, John is too "heroic", and this young man's tone is too big! Lord Sheng Yi and his distinguished guests are just a group of small people, and they are not even qualified to disturb this young man's drinking, what is his origin?
The girls on the party have always been observant, and just now they were all frightened and white, but now they are smiling again, hugging John's side up and down, and can't help but raise their glasses to toast Amon. Themis stood up with a glass full of wine, and said to John in the "flowers": "This general, the little girl toasts you, and toasts to your invincibility! Your name is John, may I ask which general John it is?"
Before John could reply, the owner of the Academy, Diland, ordered the men to bring a brand new screen, which had been temporarily moved from another incense hall, and two new doors were removed to replace the broken door of this incense hall. Diland stood on the opposite side of the pool and said with sincere fear: "General Amon, I don't know that you are here, please forgive me!" Lord Long Teng passed by just now, and he has already taken down all the people who offended you, and asked me to tell you, please have a good time, it is rare to go back to Mengfeisi, don't spoil the fun!"
Several girls let out screams of surprise and shouted, "Amon, Imperial General Amon! Oh my God, is it really you?"
Amon smiled slightly: "I am Amon, don't be so surprised, right? This is General John, the captain of my personal guard, and he was also the commander of the front line of the Isis Legion, and he followed me to life and death in the midst of thousands of troops. But I didn't expect that here, a group of Xiaoxiao would dare to commit murder in front of me. β
Diland was frightened, and quickly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Lord Shengyi, they don't know it's your old man......"
Amon's face sank: "Am I old?...... Everybody's out of the way, including the band in the back, I have something to talk to about this Themis girl alone. β
John thought that Amon had taken a fancy to Themis and was going to do that good thing here, and he didn't want anyone to bother him. He stopped talking, turned around and waved his hand and shouted: "Did you hear it? The general has an order, everyone goes out, and no one is allowed to stay nearby!"
The boss, the guys, the band, and a dozen girls were all driven away, and John walked outside the screen to guard the door himself, but heard Amon beckoning, "John, I didn't let you go too, come in." β
John turned and went in again, not forgetting to close the new door. Jumping over the pool around the screen, I saw Themis kneeling in front of Amon and said, "It turns out that you are the imperial general Amun, the little girl is really eyeless!"
John smiled and asked, "I kept calling him a general just now, didn't the girl react?"
Themis explained with some embarrassment: "The guests here, who doesn't like to praise each other after drinking? Even if it is only a small leader of the garrison of the city-state, he likes to be called a great general in front of the girls. Unexpectedly, it was the real imperial general who came today. β
John scratched the back of his head again and asked Amon, "General, why did you call me in when you were going to drink alone with the Scarlet Girl Themis?"
Amon pointed to the cup on the table: "The Scarlet Girl Themis was toasting to you just now, and this glass of wine has not been drunk yet!"
John laughed and said, "I see, the general has always done things from beginning to end. He picked up the cup and drank it down, and then said to Themis, "Thank you for the compliment, I'm done with this wine!" Themis knelt there and took the glass and drank it all.
When he had finished drinking, John asked, "Does the general have any other orders?" if it is all right...... I'll just go outside and stay there. β
Amon stretched out his hand and pointed to the recliner opposite: "Of course there is something, you sit down first and listen to me ask a few words." β
John didn't know which one Amon was going to sing, so he sat down again for some reason. Amon asked Themis, who was kneeling in front of him, with a pleasant face, "Girl, how long have you been here?" John is a frequent visitor here, why haven't I seen you before?"
He never called her up, and Themis had to kneel and answer: "It's been about half a year." β
Amon asked again, "You're a Kinu, aren't you?"
Themis bowed her head and said, "Yes." β
The so-called contract slave, unlike the usual lineage slave, became a slave for a certain period of time or under certain conditions because of a certain contract, such as accepting punishment and paying 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 are prisoners of war, who are often reduced to slaves of enemy countries, but can also be exchanged or redeemed.
Amon continued to ask unhurriedly, "You're still a mid-level warrior, aren't you?"
Themis lowered her head: "Yes, this can't hide the general's eyesight, I'm a fourth-level warrior." β
Amun's next question was inexplicable: "You must have been to the city of Dudez, the king of Eju, right?"
Themis replied subconsciously, "Yes, I've been there before." β
At this time, Amon smiled: "You can get up and go and sit next to General John." β
John was even more puzzled, and asked with some apprehension, "General, what do you mean by this, why don't you let the Scarlet Girl Themis drink with you?"
Amon pointed at Themis and said, "John, haven't you always wanted to know who killed Redros? Now the murderer is here, and you see her!"
John stood up, "What! Did she kill Redros? General, you're not kidding, are you?"
Themis had just stood up and was about to walk to John's side, when she suddenly heard Amun's words, her face instantly turned pale, and her body couldn't help but tremble. Judging by her reaction, you can see that what Amon said is true.
Amon picked up the glass and took a sip: "John, you don't have to be surprised. ...... Girl, you don't have to be afraid. Since I have asked everyone to step down, I want to give you a chance to explain why you killed Redros, and why you are trying to assassinate Lord Sheng Yi today? Even if you can kill Sheng Yi on such an occasion, you will definitely die, who gave you the courage to do this, or is someone persecuting you?"
Themis knelt down again: "General, no one is forcing me, all this is my own choice, no matter what the cost, I am willing to bear any consequences." β
John was dumbfounded, Amon was so godly, he drank a few glasses of wine in the Courtyard and met with Shengyi, how did he know that a girl in the Courtyard was the murderer of Redros? The cause and effect are very complicated and simple, because Amon can sense the true emotions in the hearts of others.
When Sheng Yi rushed in with a sword, Themis subconsciously wanted to reach out for the sword, Amon really sensed the murderous intent rising in this girl's heart - she wanted to kill Sheng Yi! This situation is too surprising, a girl who cultivated physical skills to become a middle-level warrior, but fell into the courtyard to perform a sword dance, and saw the nobleman suddenly have a killing intent, this killing intent is almost irrepressible, obviously there is a deep hatred.
George looked at the investigation file for Redros's assassination and told Amon the results. Redros died in his bedroom bed, his underwear halfway unbuttoned, looking terrified and overwhelmed. He was a priest, not without self-preservation, and when he was assassinated, he did not hear any movement outside, apparently he was assassinated at close range without any defense. He was undressing his underwear at the time, and the scene was very intriguing.
Redros is a native of Mengfeisi, and he and his cousin Shengyi often fool around together, and many bad things are done by the two of them, which George also told Amun. Today, when he found out that Themis wanted to kill Sheng Yi, and then thought of the strong dissatisfaction of this girl when she first entered the door, Amon understood that she wanted to take today's opportunity to assassinate. Thinking of the situation at the time of Redros's assassination, and asking Themis a few seemingly unrelated questions, Amon came to a conclusion in his mind.
But Themis didn't know this, and Amon didn't say it in a speculative tone, but directly told John that she was the murderer of Redros, and the tone was definitely undoubted, and it seemed unfathomable! He was the imperial general Amon, so straightforwardly spoke, Themis scandal was like thunder, and he couldn't hide it anymore, and he didn't want to deny it.
When John saw that Themis had confessed, he stepped forward and said, "Why? Why did you kill him?"
Themis raised her head, her face was already full of tears: "General, you have returned with honors, and your prestige has spread all over the continent and is admired by the whole country. But what about the soldiers who died on the battlefield? They gave their lives in obscurity, and their families also endured grief and suffering. My brother's name is Jules, and he served in your army and died in battle. β
John slapped his head and said, "What! Are you Jules's sister? I remember him, a squad leader of the An-La Army, who fought very bravely, and died in the raid covering the general's infiltration into the Hatian line, and was one of the first heroes of the An-La Army to die. β
Amon frowned slightly and said, "Jules, I remember this name, he is in the list of bereavement awards submitted to the Emperor's [***] Ministry. Girl, get up and sit down and talk. John, you pour her a drink. ...... I just don't understand, what does this have to do with your assassination of Redrose?"
While Themis's body was still trembling slightly, John helped her to sit down on the chaise longue, handed her another glass of wine, and listened to the girl tell a sad and miserable story of the pastβThemis was not from a noble background, but her family was fairly well-off, and her family owned a farm on the outskirts of Monfils, and there were many farmers and servants in the farm. Her father, Jules Sr., was a warrior who taught his son physical arts from an early age, and Themis Scarlet was also fond of martial arts and privately pestered her brother to teach them. Jules was very fond of this beautiful and lively sister, and her physical and martial arts were taught by her brother.
The Ronnie Kamigawa divides off many fan-shaped tributaries at the mouth of the sea, forming a large delta that is flooded by the seasons and can be cultivated when the flood waters reced. In order to prevent the land from being flooded when the flood came, the Jules family's farm was on the east bank of the Ronnie River, and it took two generations and decades to complete the farm, which was built by a small tributary of the Ronnie River. The fields here can be irrigated all year round, and the harvest is twice as high as that of the nearby farms.
In the lower reaches of this tributary, there is the family territory owned by Shengyi, he took a fancy to the old Jule's farm, and sent someone to buy this field that can be irrigated and cultivated in all seasons, and the price was very low, of course the old Jule refused. Later, he sent someone to ask for trouble, saying that the dam built upstream had polluted the water source downstream. This was obvious nonsense, and old Jules ignored it.
Shengyi organized a group of ruffians, and under this pretext, they often came to the farms to make trouble, hoping to make it impossible for the farmers to farm, so as to force Lao Jule to sell the fields at a low price. At that time, Jules was at home, and there were a group of young and strong children around him who followed him to practice martial arts, and taught these ruffians a few times. Sheng's hateful teeth itched, and he was helpless for a while.
Later, both Jules and Shengyi's Tang Raidros were drafted to serve in the An-La Legion, Jules became a squad leader, and the young and strong children in his hometown also became his soldiers. Redros was wounded by John on the way to the army, and returned to his hometown to recuperate, living in that territory.
One day while walking by the river, Redros saw a beautiful woman working in the fields from afar. When I went back, I inquired and found that the woman was Jules's wife, and her husband was not easy to mess with.
Soon after, Jules was killed, and the whole family was plunged into endless grief. But for Shengyi and Redros, it's good news! Shengyi has long wanted to clean up the old Jules family, and Redros is also agitating for bad ideas on the side.
They hired a group of idle ruffians to go to the farm to make trouble, and when they saw someone driving them away, they ran away, and so on several times. The last time the gang tried to dig the dam, if they did, the years of hard work of the Jules would be ruined. Old Jules was also a warrior, and immediately took up arms and drove over with dozens of peasants and servants, and the surname of the problem was no longer just troublemaking.
This gang of scoundrels ran away again, and the completely enraged old Jules led people to chase after them, and accidentally entered Shengyi's family territory, and happened to collide with Shengyi and Redros's car head-on. I don't know who took the opportunity to stab Shengyi's horse, and a scuffle broke out inexplicably. Immediately afterwards, a large number of guards wearing armor rushed over, and they couldn't help but take down Old Jule and others, and sent them all to the city-state prison.
