Chapter Thirty-Six: Two Letters
"Smack. ”
Seser tossed a square-shaped thick cowhide envelope on the table along with a small rectangular envelope and said, "Read!"
Hidden eyebrows picked up the first letter, the envelope was brightly and dazzlingly printed with the terrifying coat of arms of the Ministry of Justice, and the fire paint on the back had been pinched open, and Hidden Eyebrows took out the letter and read it.
"Your Majesty the Emperor,
I would like to report to you what happened between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on October 29 of the fifth year of Sesser:
Immediately after Mr. Luvand had fainted from poisoning and was sent away from the scene, the defendant borrowed from another pigeon cage guard, Yelien, on the grounds that he was unwell, a three-year-old and very sturdy horse that was Mr. Yelien's personal equipment. After the defendant mounted the horse, he abused the horse, which was not owned by him, by whipping and stabbing him, causing the horse to run wildly on the main road in the inner city, hitting a number of pedestrians and traders. During the whole process, the defendant ignored the repeated warnings and obstructions of the patrol guards on duty that day, and knocked Mr. Wei Wei, a guard at the Prime Minister's Residence, down in the middle of the road after a violent physical altercation. The defendant was enraged by Mr. Wei Wei's questioning, which stimulated the horse to gallop towards the injured man again, and the latter could not dodge, and the defendant clamped the ear socket and head of the injured person with a sharp weapon in his right hand at high speed, and dragged the injured person on the bumpy road for up to 8 miles, resulting in a ruptured right eardrum, severe concussion, multiple fractures of the thigh bone, ribs, ankle and other parts, and may be accompanied by tinnitus, cuts, fainting, high fever, vomiting and other complications. The above details have been confirmed by the staff of the headquarters from the Prime Minister's Doctor, Chandson, and a number of witnesses at the scene.
His Majesty is requested to review this material and approve the attached application for indictment, with a view to sending the accused to a military court in a day to await ruling.
Clerk: Ban Yang
October 29"
Then, without thinking much about it, she picked up the second letter, took out a piece of handwritten and clear-smelling stationery, and read it.
"May Heaven grant eternal peace and blessings to my Lord, the Merciful King, His Majesty Emperor Sether, Lord of Wissing:
Wei Shi, the widow of the martyr General Wei, was seriously injured in bed because of her only son Wei Wei, and the old lady was sad and sad and could not take care of herself. The minister wrote on behalf of him, and begged His Majesty to reward the three slaves so that he could take care of the sick mother and child and recover as soon as possible.
Servant: Mulberry Rank
October 29"
She glanced at the Emperor, who did not speak. She understood that he was waiting for her to take the initiative to explain, so she replied in the most concise and objective tone possible, "To complete such a vivid report in six hours, the Lord of the Ministry of Justice is indeed extremely efficient. But shouldn't a rigorous petition for prosecution be the case with the testimony of both the accused, that is, Mr. Wei and me? If the adults at the Ministry of Justice had spoken to me before writing the pleadings, they would have known that I had no such weapon in my possession, and I would have told them that Mr. Wei had been injured not only because he had been drunk on duty, but also because his mouth was full of foul language and blasphemous curses that were insulting to the nobility, to the honour, and to the reputation of Your Majesty's beloved pigeon guards. He ought to be glad that only I heard those words, and that I would not repeat his filthy and obscene words, lest I defile His Majesty's ears. Otherwise, let alone Lord Sang's face, even the face of all the sword nobles of Wei Shengkai was lost to Mr. Wei alone. ”
"As for the Prime Minister's request, I am deeply touched that he cares so much about the families of the martyrs, the widowed mothers, and the injured subordinates, but with only three slaves, Lord Sang, who has a lot of money in his pocket, can completely take them out of his own mansion and give them to Webster, so why bother Your Majesty?"
Yin Xinmei finished speaking. Sether was still throwing darts at the tiger's head, scattered all over the carpet, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment, and a cold night wind blew outside the window, giving her goosebumps all over her body, and there was a rustling sound in the night.
After several mistakes in a row, which seemed to provoke the emperor to anger again, he finally turned to glare at Yin Xin, and said in a voice that had changed his tone, "That's all, don't you have anything else to say?"
"On this matter, I would say that neither the Ministry of Justice nor Lord Sang has seen the surface," she saw Sether's impatience boiling again, so her eyes stopped wandering, and simply stared at him closely, "If you listen to me, you may think that this deep reason is worth listening to." ”
"So, you're a man who knows the truth, aren't you?" Sether stared sharply at her with a sarcastic grin, "and tell me, how could a man who claims to care nothing pounce on that poor guard like a madman and drag him like a rotten log into a piece of dried bacon?"
"It turns out that I was wrong, I didn't care about anything as I advertised, or rather I thought I didn't care, but, I was wrong. Because," added Hidden Eyebrows, "I see that what you said last time was right, and I have indeed been avoiding a lot of things. ”
A look of surprise swept over Sether's eyes, he had no idea that her reason would be this.
