Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Two

Mrs. Ninofa really couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart.She didn't understand how her husband could be so stupid. He always misjudged people, and always failed to learn well, this time he actually thought that Meifeng would not fight back, so he obediently captured him. As a result, Lou Zi has a lot of trouble: there is a lawsuit to be fought, a cargo ship is called up, suspected of theft, and the little crocodile is caught. "Your results are really brilliant!" Dennis said without changing his expression, "Have some roast goose, it tastes great." Ninofa couldn't hold back anymore and began to curse: "We lost face and went bankrupt, it's because of you."

Dai Nisi comforted his wife leisurely: "Don't worry, luck will always change." "Luck can change, but your stupid head can't change it!" "It's just to detain a ship for a few days, what's the point? Anyway, the cargo has been transferred to another ship, and it will be in Thebes soon." "What about Meifeng?" "He won't sue us. He and I have reached an agreement to stop the war from now on, and to consider the best interests of both parties, and divide the work. He still can't replace our position. This experience has taught him a lesson. In the future, we will continue to Deliver part of the goods for him at a fair price."

"What about the food theft case?" "It won't be established. The witnesses and material evidences all prove that I am innocent. Besides, I have to bear some responsibility. I was used by Hattusha. " "What about Pazar's complaint?" When it comes to Pazar, Dennis is not so relaxed. "It's a little troublesome, I admit it." Ninofa couldn't help but exploded again: "Okay, I can't win the lawsuit, my reputation is ruined, and I have to pay a fine!" "Not to this point." "You thought there would be a miracle?"

"As long as a little arrangement is made, what's the problem?" Sirix danced happily.She just received a ten-meter-long reed moss with yellow, orange, and red flowers on the top.Aloe vera juice contains an oil that can be applied to the genitals to avoid infection.Her husband often has red rashes on his legs after suffering from a skin disease for which aloe vera itself is also very effective. In addition, she would rub him with an ointment made of egg whites and acacia flowers. When Mei Feng heard the news of being summoned into the palace, he started to itch again, and he went to the administration with anxiety.

Sirix waited for her husband to come back, preparing the balm for the itching. Shortly after noon, Meifeng returned.He told his wife, "We're not going back to Delta right away. I'll find someone in charge locally." "Has the public license been cancelled?" Sirix asked worriedly. "On the contrary. I am eagerly congratulated on the success of my operation and expansion in Memphis. In fact, the palace has been closely monitoring the status of my paper mill for two years" Who wants to destroy you? "When Sirix heard this, she panicked even more. "Destroyed me... No! It was the barn supervisor who noticed that I was making rapid progress, and wanted to know what I would become after I developed. Because he saw that I was working harder, he asked me to follow him."

After hearing this, Sirix was both surprised and delighted.The Superintendent of Grain is not only responsible for setting tax rates, collecting them by category and redistributing them to the provinces. In addition, he also commands a group of special clerks to supervise the tax centers of each province, collect various land and agricultural tax lists, and send them to the white "Shuangyuan", that is, the place where the national finances are managed. "Tell you to follow him...you mean..." "He made me the chief treasurer of the barn." "Great!" She hugged her husband's neck excitedly, and asked longingly, "Will we be richer in the future?"

"Very likely, but the work will be even busier. I will often travel to other provinces, and I will trouble you to take care of the child." "I'm so proud...Leave everything to me." She patted her chest and promised. Yalo, the clerk, sat with the donkey outside the door of Judge Pazar's office, which had some seals on it. "Who dares to do that?" Pazar asked angrily. Yaluo said with a bitter face, weakly: "The elder of the door hall ordered it, and the chief of police personally sealed it." "why?" "He didn't want to tell me."

"It's against the law." "What can I do? I can't beat him!" Pazar immediately went to the elder of the gate hall, but waited for a long time before he was received.As soon as the elder saw Pazar, he said, "Finally found you, Judge Pazar! You go out so often." "It's all for business." "Now you can rest! I think you've found yourself suspended too." "why?" "Young people are ignorant! Being a judge doesn't mean you are above the law." The elder reprimanded him severely. "What law have I broken?"

The voice of the gate elder suddenly became fierce: "The tax law. You forgot to pay the tax." "I didn't receive the notification!" "I personally sent it to you three days ago, but you were not here." "But the tax deadline is three months." "That was in the provinces. You had only three days in Mempes, and the time limit had passed." Pazar was taken aback and asked, "Why did you do that?" ""I'm just acting according to the law.Judges have to lead by example, which you failed to do. " Pazar suppressed the rising anger, because attacking the elders of the gate hall would complicate the situation. "You are persecuting me."

"Don't be charged with random crimes! No matter what, I must force those who have not paid their taxes on time to pay their taxes in full." "I'm ready to pay off my debts." "Let me see...there are two bags of rice in total." Pazar heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but the elder of the gate hall continued, "The fine is more than enough. I think it's just...a fat cow." Pazar protested angrily: "The difference is too great!" "Because of your special status, I have to be strict." "Who is behind your back?"

The elder of the door hall just pointed at the door and said coldly: "Get out!" Suti vowed to fly to Thebes, go deep into the harem, and make the Hittite woman look good.Who else could be the mastermind of such an incredible punishment?Usually, the tax system is fixed and there is no room for reversal.This time the charges against him were so rare that they seemed like deliberate fraud.She used a roundabout way to hit Pazar, and she wanted to use the special regulations of the metropolis to force the little judge to shut up. "I suggest that you think twice. If you do this, you will lose your status as an officer, and once the court is held, your words will no longer be credible." Pazar turned to persuade him. "What kind of court? You have no ability to hold a court." "Su Ti...do I admit defeat?" "almost." "Almost. You're right. But such an attack is too unfair." "How can you be so calm?" "Misfortune and adversity made me understand how to think, and your warm reception, the credit is not small." Pazar was still in the mood to joke. Suti became a chariot captain and was assigned to a large four-bedroom house with a garden in front of the house where Pazar's donkey and dog could sleep peacefully.Leopard cooks and does housework reluctantly every day. Fortunately, Su Ti often asks her to stop the work at hand and pulls her to play some more interesting games. Pazar didn't take a step outside.He tried hard to recall the points of the important documents, and completely ignored the flirtations and romps of his friends and beautiful mistresses. "Think, think, think... have you come up with any results?" Su asked. "We may be able to make some progress with your help. Once, the dentist Kadash once sneaked into a military camp to steal copper materials, and that military camp happened to be the place where the chemist Xieqi conducted secret experiments." "Manufacturing weapons and equipment?" "You can't go wrong." "A man under General Asher?" "I don't know. I don't quite believe Kadashi's statement. Why did he wander in that place? According to him, it was because the person in charge of the military camp leaked the secret to him. It shouldn't be difficult for you to verify this. " "Leave it to me." Su Ti accepted the task without hesitation. Pazar fed the donkey, ran away the dog, and ate with the leopard. "I'm a little afraid of you." Leopard said honestly. "Am I scary?" "Too serious. Have you never been in love?" "The degree of love is beyond your imagination." Pazar replied a little sadly. "That's good. You are different from Suti, but he admires you very much. He told me your troubles. How are you going to pay the fine?" "Honestly, I don't know either. I will work in the fields for a few months if necessary." "You are a judge to farm!" Leopard felt unbelievable. "I grew up in the countryside. Sowing, plowing, and harvesting never bothered me." "If I do, I'll use the method of stealing. Isn't the tax collection agency a den of thieves?" "There are too many temptations from the outside world, so judges are needed." "What about you, have you always been honest?" Leopard asked in disapproval. "This is my greatest dream." "Then why are they pushing you out?" "Power struggle." "Will there be corruption in the royal palace of Egypt?" "We're not better than other people, but we all know it. When there's corruption, we sanitize it." "you alone?" "Me and Suti. Even if we fail, there will be others to take our place." Leopard hit his chin with his fist and said angrily, "If I were you, I would let myself be corrupt too." "If the judge falls, it is tantamount to a big step towards war." "People in our country like to fight, but you don't." "Is this a shortcoming?" Pazar seemed unable to understand the regret in her tone. Her dark eyes suddenly lit up. "To me, life is a battle that has to be won, no matter how or what it takes." Suti drank half a can of beer excitedly, straddled the low wall of the garden, admiring the beauty of the sunset. Pazar sat cross-legged, gently stroking the warrior with his hand. "Mission accomplished! The head of the barracks is very honored to entertain the heroes of the latest battle. Also, he talks a lot. " "How are his teeth?" "Very healthy. He never went to Kadash to see his teeth." Suti and Pazar slapped each other's palms, because this sentence clearly exposed a big lie. "not only." "Hurry up, don't hold your breath." Pazar urged anxiously. Su Tike got angry, deliberately slowed down, and Pazar said, "Do you want me to beg you?" "Heroes deserve modest applause. There is fine copper in the barracks storehouse." "I know." "But you don't know that just after your interrogation, Xie Qi secretly ordered someone to remove a box. There are heavy things in the box, and it takes four people to barely pick them up." "Four soldiers?" "It's the guards assigned under Xie Qi." Pazar felt strange. "Where did the box go?" "I don't know. I'll find out." "What materials does a setch need to make a solid weapon?" "The rarest and most expensive material: iron." "I think so too." Pazar nodded and said, "If we are not mistaken, this is the treasure that Kadash covets! Iron dental equipment... He thought it would restore his dexterity. Now The thing to know is who told him the location." "What was Xie Qi's attitude when you asked?" Su asked. "Emphasis on keeping it secret. He didn't tell Kadashy," "It's a little strange. He should be very happy to catch the thief." "That is to say..." "They're accomplices!" They both agreed, but Pazar was more concerned. "We have no proof." "What happened is roughly like this: Xie Qi revealed the location of the hidden iron to Kadashi, and Kadashi wanted to steal a large part for his own use, but he failed. Xie Qi was supposed to testify in court, but he did not Willing to take his party to court." Suti's analysis was clear and logical, but Pazar still felt suspicious. "Laboratory, iron, weapons...all the arrows are pointing to the military. What I don't understand is that Xieqi has never talked much. Why did he leak the secret to Kadash? How can a dentist be involved in a military conspiracy? Really absurd!" "Our analysis may not be complete, but it somewhat reveals the truth." "We're heading in the wrong direction," Pazar asserted. "Don't always be so pessimistic! The key person now is Xie Qi. I will monitor him day and night, and I will ask people around him. No matter how smart, cautious, and low-key he is, I will still dig through him. high wall." "Wish I could act too..." "Be patient a little longer." Pazar immediately looked up at his friend with hopeful eyes, and asked, "What can I do?" "Sell my car." Pazar shook his head and said, "You will be expelled from the army." Su Ti clenched his fist and hit the low wall hard, gritted his teeth and said, "I will get you out of trouble no matter what, and fast! How about Shabab?" "Don't think about her. How can the judge's debt be paid by a whore? The elders of the gate hall will immediately remove me." After listening to the conversation between the two, the warrior lay down on his stomach, rolling his eyes, as if full of confidence.
