Chapter 2 Chapter two

The setting sun made the hills red.At this time, Pazar's dog "Warrior" and donkey "Northern Wind" should be enjoying the dinner prepared by the hostess Nefiri who worked hard all day.How many patients did she heal today?Did she continue to live on the second floor of Judge Menwies' office?Or have you returned to your village in Thebes, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, and practiced medicine again? Pazar gradually lost his nerve. He has dedicated his life to justice, knowing that he will never be rehabilitated. No court will acquit him.Even if he can leave this prison camp, what kind of future can he give Nefiri?An old man sat down beside him.He was dry, all his teeth were gone, and his skin was tanned and wrinkled by the sun.He sighed and said, "It's over, I'm too old. The battalion commander allowed me to work as a cook in the kitchen instead of carrying stones. Good news, isn't it?"

Pazar nodded. "Why don't you work?" the old man asked again. "They won't allow it." "Who did you steal from?" "No." The old man said dubiously: "The people who come here are all big thieves. They have all committed many crimes. Because they have broken their oath not to commit crimes, they will never get out of this camp. The oath in the court is not a joke. " "Do you think the court might have made a mistake?" The old man spat into the sand. "That's a strange question! Are you on the judge's side?"

"I am the judge." When the old man heard it, he was even more surprised than when he heard the news of his release: "What are you kidding?" "Do you think I'm joking?" "There is such a thing... Judge, a real judge!" He looked Pazar up and down, with a little worry and respect in his eyes. "What crime did you commit?" "I was investigating a case, and someone tried to silence me." "You must be involved in a strange case. Me, I am also innocent. I have a colleague who has never done things aboveboard. He even falsely accused me of stealing my own honey."

"Are you a beekeeper?" "I have some beehives in the desert, and the honey I make is the best in Egypt. But my peers are jealous, and they set up a trap to frame me. I was very excited during the trial. I refused to accept the judge's verdict, Ask for a new trial and work out how to defend yourself with a clerk. The odds should be good." "But you are still sentenced!" "Because a colleague secretly hid something from a certain workshop in my house. This became evidence for my recidivism! And the judge didn't investigate deeply." The old man said angrily, "It's wrong for him to do this. If it were me , I will take into account the defendant's motives."

"What if it is really up to you to investigate? What if you find that the evidence was planted by others?" "I won't know until I get out of here." The old beekeeper spat on the sand again. "Delinquent judges don't get smuggled into camps like this, and you didn't have your nose cut. You must be a spy or something." "You can say whatever you want." Pazar didn't want to explain anymore. The old man didn't say anything, stood up and walked away. * * * Pazar didn't touch the bland bowl of soup that he ate every day.What could he offer Nefiri but humble status and disgrace?It's better to never see each other again and let her forget herself, so that at least in her memory, Chi will always be a judge with firm belief, a passionate lover and a dreamer who believes in justice.

He was lying on his back, looking up at the blue sky.Tomorrow, he will disappear. * * * White sails fluttered on the Nile.at dusk.The crew jumped back and forth between the two ships with great enthusiasm, and the north wind blew, which made the unloading speed much faster.Someone accidentally fell into the water, and laughter and scolding came from the side. A young woman was sitting by the embankment, she didn't seem to hear the sailor's laughter at all.With nearly blond hair, a sharp yet soft face, and eyes as blue as a summer sky, Nefiri was as beautiful as a lotus flower in bloom.She is begging the spirit of her teacher, Blarney, to protect Pazar, whom she loves with all her heart.Even though Pazar's death had been officially announced, she still couldn't believe it.

"Can I have a few words with you?" the voice came from behind her. She turned her head suddenly, and beside her was a well-maintained man in his fifties—Naibamun, the chief physician, her most vicious enemy. Several times, he tried to destroy her future.Nefili really hated this court minister to the extreme. He not only coveted wealth and women, but also used medical skills to control others for profit. Nebamon watched Nefiri eagerly, seeing her perfect and attractive figure in a thin linen dress.Her breasts are firm, her legs are slender, her hands and feet are soft and delicate, she is really gorgeous.

"Please go away, I want to be alone." Nefiri said coldly. "You should respect me a little more, you must be very interested in what I know." Nebamon said pretending to be mysterious. "I'm not interested in your tricks," "It's related to Pazar." Hearing this name, she couldn't hide her excitement. "Pazar is dead." "You're wrong, dear." "You are lying!" "I know the truth." "Do you want me to beg you?" "I'd rather you continue to be picky and haughty. Pazar is alive, but suspected of murdering Blarney."

"This... is ridiculous! I can't believe it." "You'll have to believe it. Chief Constable Moshey has him in secret custody." "Pazar didn't kill the teacher." Nefiri said firmly. "Meng Moxi doesn't think so." "Someone wanted to knock him down, destroy his reputation and prevent him from continuing the investigation." Nebamon paid no attention to her explanation, "This has nothing to do with me." "Then why are you telling me this?" "Because now only I can restore Pazar's innocence."

Nefiri couldn't help shivering, she had hope, but she was also worried, feeling very complicated. "Nefeli, if you want me to give evidence to the elders of the gate, you must marry me, forget about the little judge. You want him to be free, and you have to pay this price. I am truly worthy of you People. Now, everything is up to you. You can choose to set Pazar free, or you can choose to sentence him to death."
