Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Seven

The banquet was grand as usual.Mrs. Ninofa was still dressed luxuriously and full of jewelry, and happily accepted the guests' gracious compliments.Dainis has just signed several contracts, and he is extremely satisfied with the continuous expansion of his shipping company and the envious eyes cast by all the important people in Egypt.No one knows that he already has supreme power in his hands.He had been nervous but patient, and now his pent-up excitement was growing; before long, those who opposed him would be severely punished, and those who supported him would be rewarded.The timing was increasingly in his favour.

Ninofa went to the room to rest because she was tired.After seeing off the last few guests, Dai Nisi walked alone in the orchard, checking whether any fruit had been stolen.Suddenly a woman jumped out of the darkness. "Princess Hattusha? Why did you come to Memphis?" "Don't say my name. I'm waiting for your shipment." "you are right……" "God iron." "Be patient." "No. I want it right away." "Why are you in such a hurry?" "I did stupid things because of you." "No one will find out where you are."

"Judge Pazar has found me." "He's just trying to scare you." "He has sued me and intends to have me appear as a defendant." "He exaggerated!" Dennis still looked indifferent. "You don't know him very well." "He has no proof at all." "He has physical evidence, witnesses and confessions." "Rameses won't let him do whatever he wants." "Pazar has already handed over the case to Baji, and even the king must obey the law. Dennis, I will be sentenced, my territory will be confiscated, and if I am lucky, I may be thrown into the cold palace in the countryside, but the punishment is Probably heavier."

"Troubleshooting." "I want god iron." "I don't have any now." "Give it to me tomorrow at the latest, otherwise..." Wang Hao paused. "Otherwise what?" "I'm going to confess you. Although Pazar suspects you, he doesn't know that you incited me to devour fresh food. I have a way to convince the jury." "Give me a little more time." "The moon will be full in two days. My mana will only take effect if I have the iron. Tomorrow night, otherwise, you will die with me." * * * Nefiri's green monkey, Naughty, stared wide-eyed, watching the warrior carefully put one foot into the lotus pond, and probably found the water temperature comfortable, so he jumped into the pond and took a good bath.All the maids were on vacation that day, so Nefiri took out the earthen jar from the bottom of the well by herself.Her mouth is like a budding lotus, and her breasts are like tomatoes.Pazar watched her walk back and forth, planting flowers on the altar in Blarney, feeding the animals, and looking up at the swallows that came to circle the roof every evening.The swallow that survived the catastrophe was also among them.

Nefiri carefully tends to the figs, which turn a beautiful yellow color to red as they ripen.Every May, she would crack open the fruit on the tree to get rid of the parasitic pests inside.At this time, the fig flesh is fat and beautiful, and it can be eaten. "The clerk has rearranged Hattusha's file, and I have read it again, and I can submit it to the prime minister." "Is the princess worried?" "He knows my determination." "How will she interfere?" "It doesn't matter. The person in charge of the whole case is Budge, and it's useless for anyone to interfere."

"It's no use even if Pharaoh tells you to give up." "He can dismiss me, but I will never give up. Otherwise, my heart will be polluted. Even you, a miracle doctor, can't cleanse it." "Cam told me you've been attacked for the third time." "This time Hattusha's thugs tried to drown me. The first two times it was a man who tried to maim me." "Did Cam find this man?" "Not yet, this person seems to be very cunning and flexible. There is no news from Kaim's informants. By the way, has the medical committee made a decision?"

"The election has been postponed. They continue to accept applicants: Kadashi still retains his qualifications as a candidate, and he has also visited the committee members one by one." She rested her head on her husband's knee and said contentedly: "Anyway, we have Very happy." * * * Pazar stamped the verdict of a provincial court: A village headman was convicted of false accusation and sentenced to twenty boards of canes and a large fine.The village head is likely to appeal, but if the facts of the crime are proven, the punishment will be doubled. Near noon, Frame Zal received Tapene.Tapene, who is thin and has a head of black and beautiful hair, has always been good at using her talent, which is why she can persuade those grumpy clerks to let her see the elders of the gate hall.

"What's the matter with you and me?" "You should know." "Please explain clearly." "I want to know where your friend, my husband Suti is now." Pazar had expected that she would come to him.Like a leopard, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Su Ti's life or death. "He left Memphis." "why?" "For business." "You will not tell me the nature of the business." "certainly." "Will he be in danger?" "He believed in his luck." "Suti will come back. I'm not a woman to be left behind."

There was more threat than tenderness in this sentence.Pazar tried her: "Have any ladies harassed you recently?" "In my position, of course they will come for the best fabric." "that is it?" "I do not understand what you mean." "Like Mrs. Ninofa, didn't she ask you to keep your mouth shut?" Tapene looked a little nervous. "I mentioned her to Suti because she's a knitter." "She's not the only one in Memphis, why mention her in particular?" "Your question is annoying." "But I must ask."

"What is your purpose?" "I'm investigating a serious crime." A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Tapene's mouth, "Is Ninofa involved in the case?" "What the hell do you know?" "You have no right to keep me here." She went quickly to the door, turned and said again: "I may know a lot, Judge Pazar, but why should I tell you?" * * * Is it possible that the procedures for the normal operation of the hospital are satisfactory?Every time a patient recovers, another takes his place and the battle begins all over again.Nefeli always treats patients tirelessly and overcomes pain again and again, which makes her happy endlessly.The medical staff did their best to assist her, and the clerk in charge of administrative affairs also made the hospital have a sound management.So she can concentrate on medicine.Refine old prescriptions and discover new ones that are more effective.Every day she cuts out tumors, connects severed limbs, and comforts terminally ill patients.Some of the doctors around her were experienced and some were immature novices, but everyone was happy to follow the direction of the dean, and she never had to raise her voice to speak.

Nefiri had been exhausted all day trying to save a forty-year-old patient with intestinal infarction.After the operation, she was sitting down to drink some water, and other doctors were also grooming and changing clothes, when Kadashi broke in suddenly.He yelled gruffly at Nefiri, "I want to see the hospital drug list." "Why?" "Because I'm a candidate for Chief Physician. And I need this list." "What are you going to do?" "I want to enrich my knowledge." "As a dentist, you have limited access to medicines." "Get out the medicine list!" "Your claim is baseless. You are not a hospital professional." "Nefeli, you really don't understand the situation. I must prove my ability. If I don't have a complete list of medicines, I am not qualified." "Only the Chief Physician of the Palace can order me to give you the medicine list." "I am the future Chief Physician!" "As far as I know, Nabamun has no official successor yet." "Listen to me, you won't regret it." "I can't do that." "Don't make me force my way into your lab." "You will be sentenced to severe punishment for doing so." "Don't defy me anymore. I'll be your boss soon. If you don't cooperate, I'll lose your job." Several doctors heard the noise and gathered around Nefiri. "Don't think I'm afraid if you have too many people." "Get out now." A young doctor called. "You shouldn't be talking to me like that." "Are you acting like a doctor?" "The situation is urgent and we have no choice but to do so," Kadashi said. "That's just your opinion," Nefiri corrected. "The post of Chief Physician must be held by an experienced doctor. Each of you agrees with my qualifications. Then why such a big conflict? We all have the same wish, which is to serve others, right?" Kadashi talked about his decades of practice career, how he did his best for patients, how he wanted to contribute a little to the country, and was never frustrated by the boring administrative bureaucracy.He rambled about, just hoping to understand it with reason and move it with emotion. But Nefiri still refused to compromise.If Kadashi wants a list of drugs and medicines, he must indicate the purpose.Because Nabamun's successor does not take office for a day, she cannot relax the task of guarding the gate for a day. * * * General Asher's chief of staff regretted that the officer was away, but Pazar did not give up. "I'm not here as a courtesy call, I'm here to question him." "The general has left the barracks." "When did you leave?" "last night." "Where did you go?" "I have no idea." "According to the regulations, shouldn't he inform you of his whereabouts?" "yes." "Then why didn't he say so?" "How do I know?" "I cannot accept this ambiguity." "If you don't believe me, search the barracks." Pazar questioned two other officers, but received no further answers.Only a few people saw the general heading south in his chariot.Pazar did not rule out the possibility of his tricks, so he went to the Foreign Affairs Office to inquire, but he has not sent troops to Asia recently.Pazar wants Kaim to find the general as soon as possible.Although there were clues soon, it was only found that he had gone to the central region. Asher's whereabouts this time were really kept secret. * * * The Prime Minister said angrily: "Aren't you exaggerating, Judge Pazar?" "I've been investigating for a week." "Where's the barracks?" "No trace of Asher." "What about the Foreign Office?" "No mission was assigned to him, unless it was a secret mission." "I would have known about a secret mission, but I wasn't told." "Then there is only one conclusion: the general is missing." "Unforgivable." The Prime Minister was furious. "How can he leave his post without authorization if he has a heavy responsibility?" "He wanted to escape the snare that was thrown at him." "Has your constant attack exhausted him?" "I think what he's worried about is the involvement of the prime minister." "So he's really guilty?" "His party turned his back on him." "why?" "Because Asher found out that she was being used." "But he escaped from his post...he is a soldier!" "He's a coward and a murderer." "If your accusation is correct, why didn't he join other allies in Asia?" "It might just be a cover that he went south." "I will order the borders to be locked. Asher will not escape Egypt." Without the help of his accomplices, Asher would never have been able to escape the net of the whole country.For who would dare to disobey the order of the prime minister and hide a fallen general?Pazar can be said to have won a big victory this time.The general will not be able to explain why he left without authorization; betrayed, he will surely strike back against his party at the second trial.Maybe he just wanted to take revenge on Dai Nisi and Xie Qi, so he decided to disappear before he was completely defeated. "I will immediately order the governors of all provinces to arrest Asher immediately. Let Keim also convey this order to all police stations." Following the prime minister's urgent order, Asher will become a wanted criminal in less than four days. "Your task is not yet complete," the Prime Minister continued. "If the general is only following orders, you must arrest the leader." "I'm planning to do that." Pazar said, and the image of Suti immediately appeared in his mind. * * * Dennis leads Hattusha to Sheki's secret forge.The location of the factory is in a residential area on the outskirts of the city, and Dainis also set up an open-air kitchen in front of the factory to hide it from the eyes and ears.Schech is here to do some experiments with alloys and test the reaction of plant acid with copper and iron. The high temperature in the factory was unbearable, so Hattusha took off her coat and hood. "The distinguished guests of the royal family are here." Dai Nisi said happily. Shech didn't look up.He is concentrating on welding gold, silver and copper, which is extremely difficult. "This is a dagger handle ball ornament." Dennis explained, "After this tyrant steps down, the head will belong to the future king." Setch stepped on the bellows regularly with his right foot to fuel the fire, and manipulated the metal block with bronze clamps, which had to be done very quickly, because bronze had the same melting point as gold. Hattusha said impatiently, "I'm not interested in your experiment, I just want the magic iron I bought." "You only paid a deposit." Dennis corrected. "Give me something, and I will naturally pay the balance." "Still in such a rush?" "Pay attention to the way you speak! Let me see things." "You have to wait." "Enough. Dennis! Don't you dare lie to me?" "It's not exactly lying to you." "Isn't the Divine Iron yours?" "I'll be back." "How dare you play tricks on me!" "Don't misunderstand, it can only be regarded as a reservation. We work together to bring down Timesses, that's the most important thing, isn't it?" "You're nothing but a thief." "Being angry won't help. Our fates are already bound together." The princess looked at the transporter in front of her with disdain. "You are wrong, Dennis. I don't need your assistance." "Breaking a contract is not a wise move." "Open the door and let me out." "Are you going to keep it secret?" "I only have my own interests in mind." "You must promise not to tell." "Step aside." Denis still didn't move, Hattusha stretched out her hand to push him.He rushed up in a burst of anger and pushed the princess back.Unexpectedly, she staggered back a few steps and bumped into Xie Qi's fiery tongs on the stone.She screamed in panic, slipped and fell against the edge of the furnace, her clothes instantly catching fire.I saw that Dennis just stood by and watched, and Xie Qi followed his instructions and did not intervene.When Dennis rushed out of the door, Xie Qi naturally followed closely and escaped from the burning factory.
