Chapter 8 chapter eight

As soon as Pazar finished drinking the potion in the copper cup, the warrior begged for a drink.Pazar's pet dog has very long legs, a long tail that can be curled at will, and the normally drooping big ears will stand upright when it comes to eating. There is also a white and pink fur around its neck. He made a collar with the inscription: "Warrior, Pazar's Companion." He licked the wholesome liquid excitedly, and then it was Pazar's donkey, and the little rascal jumped on its back. Jumped, and pulled the dog's tail, and then quickly fled behind the hostess. "How can I rest in this state?"

"Stop complaining, Judge Pazar. You have been fortunate enough to receive long-term medical care from a good physician at home." He kissed the most sensitive part of her neck, making her whole body soft.But she still made up her mind to push him away and said, "Write a letter." Pazar sat cross-legged on the ground, with a piece of fine papyrus spread out on his lap, about twenty centimeters wide.Because the matter was so important, he only wrote on the front of the paper, with a part of the paper on the left hand side still rolled up, and the paper on the right hand side was completely flattened.To make the whole letter look more formal, he wrote vertically, with straight lines separating each line, using his finest inks and a reed pen with a perfectly cut nib.

He wrote steadily: To Prime Minister Baji, Judge Pazar. I sincerely wish that the gods protect and bless the Prime Minister, may the light of the God Ra illuminate the Lord, the God Amon will keep the Lord always upright, and the God Putah will give the Lord the rigorous and meticulous thoughts.Here, I would like to wish my lord Zhenggong Kangtai and all success and success.In the humble status of a subordinate, he dared to write a letter to disturb him. Because of the seriousness of the matter, he had no choice but to ask for a confession.A few days ago, one of his subordinates was framed as the murderer of the sage Blarney, and was sent to the thieves' camp. What's more, the murder weapon that was originally kept by the Chief of Police, Meng Moxi, disappeared.

As a district judge, his subordinate thought he had exposed the suspicious behavior of General Asher, and confirmed that the five honor guards of the Sphinx were indeed killed. The subordinates privately think that this is a challenge and mockery of the judicial system as a whole.The chief of police and the elders of the gate hall are actively planning with others, intending to remove the subordinates quickly, so as to terminate the investigation work of the subordinates, and to cover up some conspiracy with unknown intentions.The subordinates have long put personal life and death aside, but the cause of the death of the mentor and the murderer must be investigated, and they cannot but worry about the future of the country; many people died tragically, but the real murderer is still at large. For the honor, the lie is regarded as the table, and the subordinates are really uncomfortable.Now, only with the help of adults can we eradicate the abyss of all evils. I implore you to find out the truth, and you will never lose your priesthood.I swear, in the name of the gods and the law, that the above statement is true.

Pazar noted the date, stamped it, rolled up the paper, tied it with thread, and sealed it with a clay stamp.He wrote his name and the recipient's name.Within an hour, he would hand the letter to the postman, and within a day it would reach the prime minister's office. Pazar stood up and said with some concern: "This letter could get us deported." "Have faith. Prime Minister Baji is not in name." "If we make a mistake, we will never be together again for the rest of our lives." "No, because I will go with you." * * * There was no one in the small garden.

The door of the white hut was open, and Pazar entered.Although it was getting late, neither Su Ti nor the leopard was seen.The sun was about to set, and the couple should be enjoying the shade by the well. Pazar crossed the hall suspiciously.Finally I heard some sound, not from the bedroom, but from the open kitchen at the back of the house.There is no doubt that Leopard and Suti are busy. The leopard is making cream, which also has fenugreek and sagebrush added, but without water or salt so as not to change the color.When done, store it in the coolest part of the cellar.Suti is brewing beer.He kneaded the ground barley flour and water into a dough, put it in a mold around the stove, baked the surface, and then put the baked dough into sweet water soaked in dates, and after it was fermented, he had to stir it While filtering out the juice, finally put the liquid into the altar coated with sticks.Preserving beer is a must.

Su Ti dug a hole on the raised wooden board, put three wine jars into the hole, and sealed the mouth of the jar with dried lemons. "Have you changed your career and started handicraft?" Pazar asked aloud. Su Ti turned her head and said in surprise: "Why didn't I hear you come in! Yeah, Leopard and I decided to make some money. She makes butter, and I brew beer." The leopard got a little impatient, put down the grease in his hands, wiped his hands with a brown cloth, and left without saying hello to Pazar. "Don't blame her, she's a quarrelsome one. Forget the cream, luckily there's beer! Try it."

Suti took out the largest jug of wine from the hole, unplugged it, and then inserted the catheter, and the filter connected to the pipe can filter the suspended flour particles, and the clean liquid is poured out. Pazar took a breath, but stopped almost immediately. "so bitter!" "What? It's so bitter? I followed the recipe step by step." After Su Ti finished speaking, she also took a sip, but immediately spit it out. "It sucks! I'm not brewing beer anymore, it's not the job for me. How is it? How are you doing?" "I wrote to the prime minister."

"Too risky." "It is imperative." "If you are sent to the prison camp again, you will definitely not be able to survive." "Justice will prevail." "Your blind obedience to justice is really touching." Su Ti shook his head and said with a sigh. "Prime Minister Budge will act." Su Ti disagreed with this statement. "How do you know that he won't accept bribes and compromise with the other party like the chief of police and the elders of the gate hall?" "Because he is Prime Minister Baji." "The old fellow is like a piece of wood, with no emotion at all."

"He will put Egypt's interests first." "God knows!" Pazar thought for a while and said, "Last night, I recalled the horror of seeing Blarney with a thin shell needle inserted into his neck. Such needles are very expensive treasures, and only first-class Experts only have the right to use it.” "Any clues?" "It just occurred to me that maybe it won't help. Would you like to go to the largest textile mill in Memphis?" "Me? A mission?" "The female workers there seem to be pretty," Pazar joked. "Are you afraid?"

"The textile factory is not in my jurisdiction. Mengmoxi is watching and waiting now, I can't let him get my pigtails." * * * The weaving mill was a royal monopoly and employed many weavers, both male and female.They operate flat warp and vertical warp looms. The former consists of two warp yarn reels, while the latter is an upright square frame with warp beams on the upper level and cloth rolls on the lower level.Some pieces of cloth are more than twenty meters long, and the height varies from one meter twenty to one meter eighty. Suti carefully observed a male weaver with his knees raised on his chest. He was making a robe sash for a nobleman and was about to finish it.Of course, the young and beautiful female worker attracted his attention even more.Some people wind the impregnated linen yarn into coils after slubbing first, and some people put the warp yarns on the upper warp beam of the flat warp loom, and then cross the two sets of taut threads.There is also a female spinner who is operating a spinning rod with a wooden wheel embedded in the front end, and her skill is really amazing. Of course, Su Ti's appearance also attracted attention.With his long face, straightforward eyes, long black hair, and steady yet elegant steps, how can he not make women fall in love with him? "What are you going to do?" asked the spinner, who was wetting the flax fibers so that the spun yarn would be fine and strong. "I'm looking for the person in charge of the textile mill." "Ms. Tapene only sees people recommended by the palace." "Are there no exceptions?" Suti asked in a low voice. The female spinner's heart moved, she dropped the tool in her hand and said, "Let me ask." The factory is very spacious and tidy, and the inspection work is very thorough.Light is filtered through square skylights in the flat ceiling, and there are well-designed rectangular windows that allow the interior to be well ventilated.The workplace is warm in winter and cool in summer.After many years of internship here to officially become a professional technician, both men and women are rewarded with a salary increase. Just as Suti smiled at a female weaver, the previous spinner came back. "please follow me." Ms. Tapene (the name means "Old People") had a very large office filled with looms, warps, spools, needles, spinning rods, and many other related implements.She is short in stature, with black hair and green eyes, and a tan complexion. She is energetic and manages the employees in the factory with a strong iron fist.From her submissive appearance, her domineering personality that is good at tormenting people is not at all visible.But the beauty of the products made by her factory is impeccable.Thirty-year-old Tapene, still unmarried, only thinks about her career.For her, family and children only get in the way of her pursuit of her ideals. When she saw Su Ti, she couldn't help being afraid. She was afraid that she would fall in love with a man at first sight foolishly.But her fear quickly turned into a kind of excitement, and she hoped to show her hunter's ability to her prey.So she asked in a tired voice, "Is there anything I can do to help?" "It's about a . . . personal matter." Tapene then fired the assistant.This mysterious atmosphere could not help but arouse her curiosity. "There is no one else now." Suti walked around the office, and finally he stopped in front of a row of thin shell needles placed on a wooden board and covered with cloth. "These needles are so well made, who can use them?" "You want to know my professional secrets?" "I'm very interested in these secrets." "You are the inspector of the palace?" "Don't worry, I just want to find someone who has used this needle." "Looking for the missing mistress?" Tapene asked half-flirtatiously. "Who knows?" "This kind of needle is also used by men, shouldn't you..." "You can rest assured about that." "What's your name?" "Suti." "Which line do you work in?" "I often run outside." "Businessmen are a bit treacherous...but you are so handsome." Tapeni couldn't help but sighed sincerely. "You are also extremely beautiful." Naturally, Su Ti did not forget to reciprocate. "Really?" Tapene opened the wooden latch.Su asked, "Does every factory have this kind of needle?" "Only on a larger scale." "So the number of people who use it is very limited." "Of course." She walked towards him, turned around, and put his shoulders on his shoulders, "You are so strong, you must be good at fighting." "I'm a war hero. Can you give me a list of these people?" "Maybe, are you in such a hurry?" "Find the owner of this needle..." "Stop talking, I can help you, but you have to be gentle, very gentle..." Before she finished speaking, her lips were pressed against Su Ti's, and after Su Ti hesitated for a moment, he had no choice but to respond.Courtesy and reciprocity have always been the most important thing in Egyptian society, and it is Suti's most basic moral concept not to refuse anyone who comes. Tapene applied a balm made from ground acacia seeds mixed with honey on Suti's genitals.After the disinfection measures are done, she can enjoy the man's strong body to the fullest, and she has long turned a deaf ear to the noise of the textile machine and the workers' criticism. "Investigation work is indeed full of dangers for Pazar." Suti thought so in his heart.
