Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

Avery and Asher made their way around Eliphantine, taking one last rest before reaching the southern border.They chose a cave, hid the car, and prepared to spend the night.Asher knew very well where the troops were stationed, so he could always get through the loopholes in the defense.Soon, he will be able to work with his friend Edda Fei in Libya and train a group of Bedouin soldiers to harass Egypt.If all goes well, why not attack the delta and take the fertile land in the northwest for themselves? Asher lived only to endanger his own country.Pazar drove him into exile, but he also created an enemy as cunning and tenacious as he could be more destructive than an entire army.The general fell asleep after thinking about it, and the bearded man was in charge of the night watch.

* * * Holding the sheepskin bag in his right hand, Su Ti climbed up the mountain stream.He crawled forward, his chest was worn out.But you still have to be careful to avoid small stones rolling down, which will alert the enemy.The leopard stared at him intently, worried that he would throw the honeycomb too slowly for honey, and also worried that he would miss a miss.He doesn't get a second chance. When he climbed above the entrance of the cave, he lay flat on his back, holding his breath and listening attentively.There is no sound.A falcon hovered high above.Su Ti pulled off the plug, then swung his arm vigorously, throwing the honeycomb towards the enemy's cave.

There was a humming sound.Ting broke the silence of the desert. Avery fled out of the cave in a hurry, surrounded by wild bees.He followed his knees.He frantically tried to drive away the swarm, but it was in vain.After being stung in hundreds of wounds, he finally fell to the ground, holding his throat with his hands, and soon passed away. At the beginning of the incident, Asher hid under the car with a reflexive action, and did not dare to move.He didn't come out of the cave until the swarm of bees dispersed, still holding the sword in his hand. Asher saw Su Ti, the leopard and the police dog at first sight. "Three against one... are you so gutless?"

"A coward like you have the guts to talk about courage?" "I have a lot of gold. Are you and your mistress not interested in money?" "When I kill you, the money will be mine." "You dream. Your dog is non-aggressive and you don't have a weapon." "Wrong again, General." The leopard picked up the bow and arrow on the ground and handed it to Su Ti.Asher took a few steps back, his pitted face twitching unknowingly. "If you kill me, you will be trapped in the desert and cannot get out." "The leopard is a good guide, and I am used to the desert environment. We will survive, don't worry."

"According to our laws, people are not allowed to kill each other. You dare not kill me." "Who would think you a human being?" "Revenge is foul. If you commit murder, you will be punished by the gods." "You should believe in retribution even less than I do. Besides, if there are gods, they must thank me for eliminating harm for the world." "This car is only a part of my treasure. Take refuge in me, and you will be richer than the nobles of Thebes." "Where are you going?" "To Libya, Edda flies there." "He won't let me go."

"I would say you are my most loyal friend." The leopard stood behind Su Ti.Su Ti heard her approaching footsteps.Libya, her hometown!Wouldn't she be tempted by Asher's suggestion?To bring Suti back to her hometown, to let him be hers completely, to live happily and carefree... What a tempting proposition, but he didn't turn around.Don't people who want to betray like to attack from behind? Leopard took an arrow to Su Ti. "You're wrong," said Asher high-pitched. "We're all of the same kind. You're adventurous, and so am I. We couldn't get anywhere in Egypt. We need a wider world."

"I saw you torture an unarmed, terrified Egyptian. You have no sympathy for Chi." "I just wanted him to confess. He threatened to turn me in, and you would do the same." Su Ti opened his bow and shot out an arrow, which hit the general between the eyebrows. Leopard hugged his lover's neck excitedly. "I love you and now we have money!" * * * At lunchtime, Camden arrested Kadashi.He read the complaint to the dentist and bound his hands.Kadashi's head was dazed, his eyes were glazed, and he defended himself feebly.Kem ignored him and immediately sent him to Pazar.

"Are you pleading guilty?" the judge asked. "of course not." "There are witnesses who have identified you." "I went to Shabab's tavern. I ran into some nasty girls, and I didn't like any of them." "That's not what Shabab said." "Who would believe an old whore?" "You raped a Nubian girl. She worked as a waitress in Shabab's tavern." "This is malicious slander! Tell her to come face to face with me." "The jury will decide." "Don't you think..." "The court will start tomorrow."

"I want to go home." "I have to take you to the police station before you attack another girl. Cam will keep you safe." "Is... safe?" "Everyone in this district wants to kill you with their own hands." Kadashi held Pazar tightly: "You have the responsibility to protect me." "Yes, what a pity!" * * * Ninofa went to the textile factory again, and this time, as usual, she had to get the highest quality fabrics.When she thought of wearing the gorgeous dress she had tailored by herself, and when she thought of the jealous and angry expressions of other noble ladies, she felt inexplicably excited.

Every time she saw Tapene squinting and mockingly superior, she felt uncomfortable.But she is indeed the number one chair in the textile industry.And only she can provide flawless fabrics, making Ninofah at the cutting edge of fashion. Seeing Ninofa, Tapeni smiled with a strange look on her face. "I want some of the finest linen," said Ninofa. "I'm afraid there will be difficulties." "What did you say?" "impossible." "What's wrong with you, Tapene?" "You are so rich, but I don't." "Didn't I pay for it all?"

"Now the price is going to go up." "Increasing prices during the year..." Ninofa thought for a while, "It's not right to do so, but I accept it." "I want to sell more than just fabric." "What else?" "Your husband is a celebrity, a very famous person," Tapene said nonchalantly. "Dainis?" "He should be invulnerable." "what do you mean?" "High society has always been cruel. Once the upper class engages in indecent behavior, it quickly loses influence and even wealth." "Speak clearly!" "Don't be angry, Ninofa. As long as you are reasonable and generous enough. Pay some money to silence me, and your position will be preserved." "What the hell do you know?" "Dainis was not a faithful husband." Ninofa suddenly felt that the roof of the whole factory fell towards her.If Tapene really had the slightest bit of evidence, if she said something in the noble circles of Thebes, then she, as a wife, would immediately become a laughing stock, and never dare to enter the palace or attend any public occasions. up. "You... you're talking nonsense!" "Don't take any chances, I know everything." Ninofa made a quick decision, because reputation was the most important thing for her. "How can you shut up?" "Income from a piece of your farmland, and give me a luxurious villa in Memphis as soon as possible." "It's too much:" "Think about the name of Dainis's mistress on everyone's lips, and you have to be ridiculed all the time. How would it feel?" Seeing Ninofah close her eyes in horror, Tapeni was overjoyed.She slept with Dennis only once.Although he was poor in skills and domineering, he also opened a way for her to get rich.From tomorrow, she will be a rich woman. * * * Kadashi was furious at the police station.He was sure that Dennis had cleared all the checkpoints, and he asked Cam to let him out immediately.After he sobered up, he kept bragging about his new position, hoping to leave the cell as soon as possible. "Be quiet," Cam said loudly. "Be respectful, friend! Do you know who you're talking to?" "With a rapist." "Don't put a big hat on me." "It's just a horrible fact, Kadash." "If you don't let me out again, you will be in big trouble immediately." "I can help you open this door." "Finally...you're not stupid, Cam. I'll make sure." Cam grabbed the dentist by the shoulders just as he breathed the fresh air of the street. "Good news, Kadashi, Judge Pazar called the jury early, and I'm going to take you to court." * * * When Kadashi found out that Dennis was also a juror, he knew he had been saved.After a few troublesome people rushed to tell each other, many people rushed to listen.In order to maintain order, the police kept the spectators out of the wooden hall. As for the inside of the hall, there were witnesses and a jury composed of six men and six women of different ages and status. Pazar was wearing an antique loincloth and a short wig, and seemed agitated.After praying to Matt to protect the proceedings in court, he began to read the indictment. "Dentist Kadasi. He is the current Chief Physician of the Royal Palace. He lives in Memphis and was accused of raping a waitress in the Shabab Tavern early yesterday morning. The victim is still seeking medical treatment and does not want to appear in court. Therefore, Nai Fei Dr. Li spoke on behalf of Dr. Kadashi breathed a sigh of relief again.The odds couldn't have been more favorable for him.He faced the jury's questioning, but the waitress in the tavern did not have the courage!And except Dennis.He also knew two other jurors who also spoke volumes, and they would side with him.Not only was he able to walk out of court unscathed, but he also had to sue Shabab and obtain compensation. "Do you admit your crime?" Pazar asked. "I don't admit it." "Shabab, please come forward and testify." For a moment, everyone's eyes were all focused on this nationally famous hotel owner.Some people thought she was dead, others thought she was being imprisoned, but now they saw her stepping forward with firm steps, her face slightly thickened with makeup.But gorgeous and dazzling. "I want to remind you that perjury is punishable by severe punishment." "Dentist Kadash was drunk that day. He broke into the shop and immediately rushed to the youngest Nubian girl, but she was just serving snacks and drinks. If I hadn't stepped in and kicked him out .He would have raped her then." "are you sure?" "Genital erection, do you think this evidence is sufficient?" The audience murmured and the jury was shocked by her rude language. Kadashi asked to speak. "This man's tavern is not legal at all. She's bringing Memphis down by the day. Why don't the police and the judiciary take it down?" "We are not interrogating Shabab now, but you. You are such a moral person that you go to the hotel and attack the underage girl." "I just lost my mind for a while... Are people not saints?" "Was that Nubian girl raped in your hotel?" Pazar asked Shabab. "no." "And what happened after he attacked her?" "I appeased the waitress, and she continued to work and didn't go home until dawn." Nefeli spoke after Shabab. She described the girl's physical condition after the brutal rape in detail, and everyone present was shocked. Kadashi interjected again: "I never doubt the description of the injured by my outstanding colleague, and I also sympathize with what happened to this girl, but what does it have to do with me?" "Please don't forget," Pazar said solemnly, "the only punishment for rape is the death penalty. Dr. Nefeli, do you have any evidence to prove that Kadashi is the criminal?" "His characteristics matched the victim's description," "I also want to remind everyone." Kadash interjected again, "Dr. Neferi also ran for the Chief Physician at the same time as me. She must have been unwilling after losing. Besides, she is not qualified to conduct inquiries. Judge Pazar Did you make a note for the girl?" Kadashi's words really worked.Pazar then summoned nearby residents who witnessed the suspect's escape.Everyone identified it as Kadashi. "I drank too much at the time." He argued, "Maybe I was drunk and passed out nearby. Does this mean that I have committed such a heinous crime? I have sworn in court that if I committed a crime, I would never escape punishment." Kadashi's eloquence made all the listeners tempted.The girl had been raped, the dentist happened to be nearby, and he had assaulted her beforehand: all the arrows were clearly pointing at Kadashi.But Pazar can only classify all this as a hypothesis under the law of Maat.Undoubtedly, Kadashi played up his relationship with Neferi and weakened an otherwise powerful testimony. However, Pazar asked Nefiri to speak on behalf of the victim again before reaching conclusions and presiding over jury deliberations. Suddenly a pair of trembling hands took Nefiri's hand, and it turned out that the Nubian girl came quietly to her. "Stay with me. I want to talk, but I want you to be with me." She hesitated and intermittently narrated the violence she endured, the unbearable pain and despair. After she finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the hall.Pazar's voice forcefully asks the crucial question: "Can you name your raper?" The girl pointed to Kadashi and said, "That's her." * * * Jury deliberations soon came to an end.The jury invoked the draconian old law.It is precisely because of the strictness that there have been no rape cases in Egypt for many years.As for the status of Kadashi's outstanding physician and chief physician, it did not bring him special treatment for commuting his sentence.The jury unanimously sentenced him to death.
