Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One

"You are so famous." Nebamon said to Pazar, "You don't value wealth, and you don't bow to power. In short, the law is your daily food, and honesty is your second nature." Pazar only responded coldly to the Chief Physician's flattering words. "Isn't this the most basic condition for being a judge?" "Of course, of course...that's why I chose you." Nebamon was a little embarrassed. "So I should be flattered?" "I trust that you will handle it fairly." Pazar never liked people with hypocritical smiles, artificial attitudes, and sweet words since he was a child. He was extremely disgusted with this chief physician.

"A huge scandal is about to break out." Nebamon lowered his voice, as if he didn't want the clerk to hear, "This scandal will change the image of the entire medical profession and shame all doctors." "Please make it clear." Nebamon turned to look at Arlo.So Pazar made a gesture to ask him to back down.Nabamon then asked: "Prosecution, trial, heavy administrative procedures... Can these formal operations be avoided?" Pazar didn't answer. "Of course you want to know more about the inside story, I understand. But can you promise to keep it a secret?" Pazar tried his best not to get angry.

"One of my students, Nefiri, was punished by me for making a mistake. She was more cautious than Spears should have been, and sought advice from her more capable colleagues, but she disappointed me so much." "Did she make a mistake again?" "She made more mistakes step by step. Not only did she recruit patients indiscriminately, she prescribed inappropriate prescriptions, and she also set up private laboratories." "Is this against the law?" "No, but with her financial resources, it is impossible to do this." "This is the blessing of the gods to her."

"Judge Pazar, not the gods, but a lowly woman, Shabab, who is from Memphis and keeps a brewery." After Nebamon finished speaking seriously and nervously, he thought the judge would be outraged.Parrell, however, didn't seem to care. "The current situation is very worrying," said the Chief Physician. "One day the truth will be revealed, and some famous doctors will be implicated." "For example, yourself?" Pazar's tone was not without irony. "Of course, because I'm Nefiri's teacher! I can't keep silent anymore, it's too risky."

"I sympathize with you, but I don't know what part to play." Only then did Nabamon reveal his purpose of looking for Pazar: "You can solve this trouble as long as you interfere secretly. Since Shabab's hotel is in your jurisdiction, she is in Debi under a false identity. Why don't you find a reason to sue. If Nefili still doesn't restrain herself, you will threaten her with a heavy fine. After she becomes vigilant, she will be a little village doctor. But, I certainly wouldn't ask you to help for free. I will give you a great opportunity for promotion, and your future will be even brighter. ""Thank you so much"

"I knew it made sense to you. You are young, smart, and ambitious, unlike many other judges who talk about everything, even to the point of being unreasonable." "What if I fail?" Pazar asked deliberately. "I will come forward to sue Nefiri, and you will have a trial, and we will decide on the jury. But I don't want to go to this point, so you have to show your persuasion." "I will do my best." Nebamun breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for what he did.He did not miscalculate the judge. "I'm glad I found the right person. There are no difficulties that cannot be eliminated between senior people like us."

Fantastic Thebes!Here he tasted happiness and sorrow.Charming Thebes!After the fairyland-like night, there is a bright and beautiful dawn.Inescapable Thebes!The god of fate made him return to the old place several times to investigate the truth, but the truth, like a frightened lizard, had already fled without a trace. He meets Nefiri on the ferry.Pazar was nervous and worried, but she didn't send him away. "I didn't just talk about it. We shouldn't have seen each other." "Do you miss me less?" "It hasn't changed at all." "You're torturing yourself." She couldn't help sighing.

"As long as it's for you, what does it matter?" "You are in pain, and I am also sad. Meeting again will only add to the sentimentality. Do you think it is necessary?" Pazar didn't want her to misunderstand him and pester her again, so he quickly clarified: "I'm here to see you as a judge this time." "What crime have I committed?" "Accepting a gift from a prostitute. Nebamun insisted that you not expand your medical practice, and asked you to refer serious patients to other doctors for treatment." "Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise he will prohibit you from continuing to practice medicine on the grounds of violating medical ethics." "How threatening is this?" "Nibamun is very influential." Nefili was just helpless about Nabamun's bad behavior. "He didn't break me before, but now he doesn't allow me to compete with him." Pazar asked cautiously, "Are you going to give up?" "What do you think I'll do?" "Nibamun trusts me to convince you." "He doesn't know you." "So we're lucky. Do you trust me?"

"Absolute trust." Hearing her gentle voice, Pazar felt extremely intoxicated.Didn't she put aside her indifferent appearance and give him another look that is not so repulsive? "Nefeli, don't worry, I will help you." He walked with her back to the village, hoping that the road would never end. The Devourer of Shadows was relieved, it seemed that Pazar's trip was entirely for personal reasons.He wasn't looking for a fifth ex-soldier, but for the beautiful Nefiri. Because of Keim and Fufu, the Devourer of Shadows had to be extremely cautious in his actions.

As a result of the final investigation, he believed that the fifth retired soldier had either died or fled to the far south, and no one would mention him again.Anyway, as long as he doesn't talk. However, he continued to follow Pazar in case anything went wrong. Baboons appear restless.Cam looked around. There were only farmers and donkeys, and workers building embankments, but nothing else.But the Fufu policeman smelled danger. Kaim took precautions even more, and walked towards Pazar and Nefiri.This was the first time he had looked at his boss carefully.The young judge is the embodiment of ideals, the messenger of utopia, strong and fragile, practical and dreamy, but no matter what, he never deviates from the right path.He alone cannot eradicate the evil of human nature, but he can curb the spread of this evil force, and thus give hope to those who have been wronged. Cam really hoped that he would not meddle in such a dangerous matter. If this continued, he would be destroyed sooner or later.But how could he be blamed seeing those poor fellows dying inexplicably?As long as the common people are not ridiculed after death, and as long as the judges do not grant privileges to the rich and powerful, then the light of Egypt will continue to shine on the land. Neither Nefiri nor Pazar spoke.Pazar has always dreamed of walking hand in hand with her, just like today, as long as the two of them are together, there is no need to say anything.Their footsteps are in unison, as if they are partners with a tacit understanding.How lucky was he to be able to steal a moment of godlike happiness, a miracle more precious than reality?Nefiri walked lightly, like air: her feet seemed to float on the ground, and she walked without fatigue.Pazar felt extremely honored to be able to accompany her for a while; if he hadn't had to stick to his position as a judge and fight against the coming storm, he really wanted to serve her wholeheartedly in anonymity.I don't know if it is his illusion?Nefiri was less repulsive to him.Maybe she needs this kind of silence when two people are together, or maybe she will gradually get used to his enthusiasm, as long as he doesn't speak. The two of them walked into the laboratory, and Carney, who was picking herbs, said excitedly: "The harvest is too rich. " "I'm afraid it won't work," Nefiri said regretfully. "Nebamon wants to stop me from continuing my practice." "If it weren't for the law that prohibits poisoning people... I would..." "The chief physician will not get what he wants. I will intervene in this matter." Pazar said firmly. "He is more terrifying than a poisonous snake. If you provoke him, he will still bite you." Although Carney was angry, he was really worried about the judge. "Are there any new medicinal materials?" "The temple gave me a large piece of land to grow medicinal herbs, and now I am their official supplier." "You deserve it, Carney." "That's not forgetting about the survey. Once I happened to have a chance to chat with the clerk who was in charge of the census, but according to him, neither the workshop nor the farm had employed a Memphis ex-serviceman in six months. Veterans must report for duty after retiring from the army, otherwise they will lose their rights and interests, which is tantamount to putting themselves in a desperate situation. " "This veteran is so scared, he would rather be poor than show up in public." "What if he's gone abroad?" "I believe he must still be hiding in the Hexi area." Pazar was still very sure. The contradiction in Pazar's heart made him miserable.On the one hand, he felt light, almost happy; on the other hand, he was depressed and sad.Seeing Nefiri again, she also became kinder and more approachable, which made Pazar feel the joy of rebirth: but he also knew that she would not marry him, so he could not help but despair. For her, for Su Ti, and for Meifeng, he has no time to think about it.Blaney's words reminded him that judges in Egypt deserve to die for others. On this day, the harem in the west of Thebes held a banquet to celebrate the triumphant return of the Asian expedition team and the people to enjoy peace again, and praised the great Ramses the Great and the great hero General Asher in unison.All the weavers, musicians, dancers, framing experts, teachers, hairdressers, flower arranging artists were hanging out in the garden, chatting and having refreshments. They admired other people's clothing, envied each other, and criticized each other. Pazar came at a really bad time, but he still met the harem mistress who was radiant and eclipsed everyone.Hattusha, who has impeccable make-up skills, looks very disdainful of the imperfect make-up of these ladies. The flattery of A'ao from everyone around her was also refuted by her barbed words. "Aren't you that little judge in Memphis?" She couldn't hide her surprise when she saw Pazar. "It's a shame to disturb you at such a moment, but can I ask Her Royal Highness to move, so we can talk in private?" "Great! These social events are boring. Let's go to the pond." What kind of a character is this dignified judge?To be able to conquer the aloof Wang's daughter-in-law in a few words. Hattusa was probably just playing with him, and then discarded him like a doll with a broken limb.In short, the absurd behavior of this foreign woman is unpredictable. In the pool, the blossoming lotus and blue lotus sway in the breeze.Hattusha and Pazar went to the camp chairs under the parasol and sat down. "If we don't observe etiquette like this, we will definitely be insulted, Judge Pazar." The princess joked. "Thank you very much." "So you will start to like the magnificence of my harem?" Pazar just heard Hattusha's harsh and joking words. "Have you ever heard of the name Meifeng?" "No." The princess replied dully. "Where's Dennis?" "No. Are you here for an interrogation?" "I need your testimony very much." "As far as I know, these two people are not under my command." "Dainis is the main transporter in Memphis, and he has received an order from you." "So what? Do you think I care about these little things?" Hattusha became a little impatient. "But on the cargo ship that came to Thebes, the stolen official food was found." "I don't understand this!" "Cargo ships, grain, and shipping orders stamped with your stamp are all seized." Hattusha felt that Pazar meant something, so she couldn't help raising her voice and asked, "Are you accusing me of stealing?" Pazar replied softly, "I hope you can explain." "Who sent you here?" "I came by myself." Hattusha couldn't believe that a little judge had such courage, "You came by yourself...I don't believe it!" "you are wrong." "They want to harm me again, but this time they use a little judge who knows nothing and is easy to manipulate!" "Insulting and maliciously slandering the judge must be punished with the cane." Hattusha was so mad that he didn't take herself seriously! "You're crazy! Do you know who you're talking to?" Pazar acted in accordance with the law, and didn't care about Wang Ji's anger and threats, "With a Wang Ji who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Besides, you are also suspected of embezzling the country's official food." The princess poohed, "I don't care." Pazar continued to explain patiently: "Suspicion does not mean conviction, so I am waiting to hear your defense. " "I won't bow my head." "If you are innocent, what are you afraid of?" "How dare you doubt my innocence!" "The facts are in front of us." "You have gone too far, Judge Pazar, you have gone too far." She stood up angrily, and walked on without looking back.The courtiers on the side dodged one after another, fearing that the anger would spread to themselves. Three days later, the judge of Thebes received Pazar.The Chancellor was a man of prime age and a level head, soon to take over as High Priest of Karnak.He read the documents in detail, and praised Pazar: "You have done a very good job, regardless of the content or form." "This is not my jurisdiction, so I will leave the rest of the work to you. If you think it is necessary for me to participate, I will open the court immediately." "What do you think of yourself?" "Illegal trade in grains does exist. However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Dainis." "Where's the Chief of Police?" "He may know, but how much is hard to say." "Where is Princess Hattusha?" "She was determined not to give any explanation." "This is troublesome." The judge pondered. "The official document does have her seal, and it cannot be faked." "Of course, but who built it?" "Herself. That is the personal ring on the finger she wears. Like other important people in the palace, her ring never leaves her body." "We will have a hard time going forward." The judge expressed his doubts, "Hartusa is not loved by the people in Thebes. She is too arrogant, too critical, and too bossy. But even if everyone If she thinks so, Pharaoh will still protect her." "Stealing the grain for the people is a serious crime." "I know, but I hope that the prosecution will not be publicized, so as not to damage the pharaoh's reputation. And according to your record, the preliminary trial is not over yet." Pazar looked serious. "You don't have to worry, Judge Pazar. As the Justice of Thebes, I will never leave your file idle in piles of files. I just want to have a more sufficient cause for prosecution, after all, the plaintiff is the country itself. "Thank you for being so thoughtful.As for the public hearing..." Pazar hesitated. "It would be better, I know. But do you want to know the facts first, or do you want to take the head of King Hatusa first?" "I have no hostility towards her." Pazar quickly defended. "I will try to get her to tell the truth, and if necessary, I will also formally summon her. Let's hand her over to the god of fate, okay? If she is guilty, she will definitely pay the price." Seeing that the judge was very sincere, Pazar asked reluctantly: "Do you need my help? " "It's not needed yet, and Memphis has something urgent for you to go back and deal with." "Is it my clerk?" "It's the elder of the gate hall."
