Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

"I want to appeal." Kadashi shouted. "I've sent your case up," Pazar said, "but above the gate hall. Only the prime minister's court is left." "He will definitely vindicate my grievances." "Stop dreaming. If the victim reconfirms the charges against you, Budge will still uphold the original sentence." "I'm sorry that little girl didn't dare!" "you are wrong." Kadashi didn't seem to waver, "You think I'll really be punished? You'll be disappointed, poor thing!" Kadashi smiled faintly and left, and Pazar walked out of the cell angrily.

* * * At the end of September, the second month of less-than-ideal flooding, the festival of Ope, the goddess of abundance and generosity, is celebrated across Egypt.When the Nile River recedes and leaves fertile river mud for more than 20 days, there will be many mobile vendors selling watermelons, melons, grapes, pomegranates, bread, pastries, smoked roasted chickens and ducks and beer along the river bank, and there are open-air restaurants offering cheap food. A feast of dinner, and professional musicians and dancers performed melodious and graceful programs.Everyone knows that the temple will hold a ceremony for the regeneration of creative energy to thank the gods for making the farmland fertile and the people not to die of hunger and thirst during the long year, and to pray that the gods will not abandon the world.Only in this way can the Nile River absorb the infinite energy of the universe and restore its original power.

When the festival reached its climax, Kani, the high priest of the God of Amon, opened the door of the inner nave, where the image of the God of Amun with various images was enshrined.After the statue was covered with tulle, it was placed in Dujin's wooden boat, carried by twenty-four priests with bald heads and linen robes, and accompanied by the wife of Amon, the Virgin Mutt, and the son of the moon god Kongsu. .The two processions marched forward to the Luxor Temple by the river and the land respectively. Dozens of small boats escorted the huge golden god ship all the way south, and along the way, women played percussion instruments such as flutes and tambourines to welcome the gods.Pazar, the elder of the gate hall of Memphis, was also invited to participate in the ceremony held in the compound of the Luxor Temple. The atmosphere was lively and jubilant, but there was still a sincere silence behind the high wall of the temple.

Kani offered flowers to the three gods and poured wine as sacrifices.Then the courtiers moved to the two sides.Salute to Pharaoh.Pazar was deeply moved by the inherent nobility and majesty of the monarch: he was of medium height, with a strong physique and an eagle nose.Broad forehead.A reddish-brown hair hides under a blue crown.Pharaoh stared intently at the statue of Amon, which symbolized the mysterious creativity of Pharaoh. Carney read a tribute.Praise the changeable image of the god Amun, which is the incarnation of wind, stone, spiral-horned goat, etc., but is not limited to a single form.After finishing the reading, the high priest stepped aside, and the pharaoh walked into the secret temple alone.

* * * 15,000 pieces of bread, 2,000 pieces of pastries, 100 baskets of dried meat, 200 baskets of fresh vegetables, 70 cylinders of wine, 500 cylinders of beer, a large amount of fruit... In order to celebrate the end of the Opel Festival, the pharaoh held a A big dinner party.The dining table was decorated with hundreds of bouquets of flowers, and the guests beside the table boasted of the achievements of the Ramses government and the peaceful and prosperous times of Egypt. The courtiers did not forget to extend their warm congratulations to Pazar and his wife, because Pazar showed incomparable courage in the Kadashi case, and after Nefeli was dismissed for Kadashi's crime, he was appointed by the committee. Chief Physician.And Asher who is at large is still on the hunt, Blarney's death is unknown, especially the unexplained disappearance of the retired soldiers of the Sphinx, these things are not wanted to be mentioned again.Pazar was indifferent to everyone's goodwill, and although Nefiri made many eccentric people submit to her beauty, she didn't care much about the compliments.She only remembered the girl's terrified eyes and her incurable wounds.

The safety of the dinner party is under the responsibility of Police Chief Keim.He and the baboon stared closely at everyone who approached the elders of the gate hall, ready to stop them violently if something went wrong. "You are really the couple of the year." Dennis said, "It is indeed a great achievement for our country's justice to let a celebrity like Kadashi accept sanctions, and Nefili's being able to ascend to the leadership position of the doctor group is more than enough to prove that she extraordinary." "You don't use compliments against your will."

"You both are very good at taking and overcoming trials." "Why didn't you see Lady Ninofar?" Nefeli asked in surprise. "She's not feeling well." "Wish her a speedy recovery." "Ninofa will definitely be very touched by your concern. Can I borrow your husband-in-law for a while?" As he spoke, Dennis pulled Pazar to a gazebo where beer and grapes were served. "My friend Kadash is a good man. He got carried away with the excitement of being Surgeon General." "But none of the jurors were lenient, and even you were silent in favor of the death penalty."

"The law has clear provisions. But people who repent should also be given a chance to rehabilitate." "But Kadashi has no intention of repenting." "Didn't he already express his regret and apology?" "Not only did he not, he also booed and threatened." "He's really lost his mind." "He believed he would never suffer the death penalty." "Has the execution date been decided?" "The Prime Minister's Court has dismissed the appeal and confirmed the death penalty. In three days, the Chief of Police will administer poison to the criminal."

"Did you just say 'threat'?" "Since Kadashi had to commit suicide, he would not face death alone. He promised me to make a confession before drinking the poison." "Poor Kadashi!" Dennis pretended to hiss, "He just fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley... How can he not be sad and remorseful? Please let him spend his last moments peacefully." "Cam is not an executioner, he knows how to deal with it properly." "There's only one miracle that can save him now." "Who would forgive such a crime?"

"See you later, Judge Pazar." * * * Nefeli was interviewed by the Physician Committee, and the members who opposed her posed all sorts of technical problems, and since there were so few mistakes, the appointment was settled. Many public health cases have been unsolved since Nebamun's death, but Nefeli still hopes to give her time to arrange the hospital's successor.Faced with such a heavy public duty, she actually had the idea of ​​escaping. She just wanted to be a little doctor in the countryside, guarding the patients, and sharing the joy of recovery every moment with them.She really didn't know how to adjust. Suddenly, she was required to lead a group of experienced medical authorities and court officials, as well as clerks who supervised the manufacture and distribution of drugs, and she was required to make major decisions for people's health and environmental sanitation. .In the past, she only managed a village, but now she must also be respected by her friends in order to take good care of such a powerful kingdom.Thinking of this, Nefiri couldn't help fantasizing about flying far away with Pazar, living in seclusion in a hut in the field of her hometown, facing the mountains of Thebes every day, enjoying the tranquility of morning and evening.

She wanted to tell her husband this thought, but when Pazar came back from the office, his whole face changed. "You read this decree, please read it aloud." He handed a piece of polarized paper to his wife, which was still stamped with Pharaoh's seal. "'I, Ramses, may the heavens and the earth be joyful. The hidden ones will be brought to the light, no one will suffer for the mistakes of the past, the criminals will be released, the troublemakers will stop, and the people of the world will dance and dance in the streets.' This is the decree of amnesty ?” "Amnesty for all criminals." "Isn't that a little unusual?" "Unprecedented." "Why did Pharaoh make this decision?" "have no idea." "Is it to release Kadashi?" "Amnesty to all criminals." Pazar repeated, unbelievable, "Kadashi's crimes are completely wiped out, and General Asher will no longer be arrested. All murder cases are written off, and Dennis' lawsuit is also dropped." "Are you too pessimistic?" "I failed, Nefiri. Completely and utterly failed." "Aren't you asking the Prime Minister for help?" * * * Cam opened the cell door.Kadashi didn't seem worried. "Are you going to let me out?" "how do you know?" "The inevitable outcome. The good guys always win." "You're lucky that Pharaoh pardoned all criminals." Kadash took a step back as Cam's eyes burned with anger. "Don't touch me, Cam! There's no pardon for you." "When you get in front of Osiris, he will definitely seal your mouth. The kid with the knife will also cut your body into thousands of pieces, so that you will never be reborn." "Forget about these naive legends! I'm not happy that you're belittling and insulting me so much. It's a pity... both you and Pazar missed the opportunity. Take advantage of the present, your police chief won't last long .” * * * Prime Minister Budge is late.As usual, a number of top executives were waiting to see him, to convey their woes and to hear his advice.Although Pazar did not make an appointment in advance.But it was the first to be interviewed. Pazar couldn't hide his anger: "I really can't accept this amnesty." "Careful wording, Elder of the gate hall, the imperial decree was promulgated by the Pharaoh himself." "I do not believe." "It's a fact." "Have you seen the king?" "He personally dictated the imperial decree to me." "Did you not respond to him?" "I expressed shock and incomprehension." "Still unable to change his mind?" "Rameses does not accept any opinions." "How could a beast like Kadashi have escaped legal sanctions!" "Amnesty applies to all criminals, Judge Pazar." "I refuse to do it." "You must obey the will, just like me." "How can I accept something so unfair." "I am old, but you are still young. My career is coming to an end, and yours is just beginning. No matter what I think, I still have to keep silent. When I meet you, don't be impulsive." The Prime Minister comforted him earnestly road. "I've made up my mind. I don't care what the consequences are." "Kadashi has been released and the scheduled court hearing has been cancelled." "Is Asher also reinstated?" "Since the case has been dismissed, as long as he can explain it, he can still retain his original title." "Then only the unidentified murderer who killed Blarney has not been pardoned." "I am in the same pain as you, but Ramses must have his reasons for doing so." "I don't care what the motive is." "Resisting Pharaoh is tantamount to rebelling against life." "You are right, Prime Minister Baji. So I can no longer hold my current position. Today, I officially resign from you. From this moment on, I am no longer the elder of the gate hall." "Think carefully, Pazar." "If it were you, wouldn't you do that?" Budge didn't answer.Pazar added: "I want to ask you to do me one last favor." "As long as I am still the Prime Minister, you are welcome to come to me at any time." "The implication of innocents is arguably a violation of the justice we both cherish with all our hearts. I therefore ask you to keep Cam as Chief of Police." "That's exactly what I mean." "What will happen to Nefiri?" "Kadashi will appeal to maintain the original election results, and will not hesitate to go to court to fight for the title of Chief Medical Officer." "He didn't have to bother. Nefiri had no intention of fighting. She and I will leave Memphis." "what a shame." * * * Pazar guessed that Denis's friends were celebrating the trade.A sudden decree from Pharaoh unexpectedly preserved their reputation.As long as they don't make mistakes in the future, they will still be famous and high-ranking people, and they can continue their conspiracy. As for the inside story of the conspiracy, Pazar will never know.General Asher will appear soon, and he must have thought of a valid reason for his escape.But what about Suti?What role does he play?If he is still alive, where is he now?Just when he was sad and discouraged, a dozen swallows flew over Pazar's head.The first flock flew by, and another flock, and then flock after flock.In the end, hundreds of swallows clung to him and wailed joyfully.Is this to thank him for saving their companions?Passers-by were all excited and pleasantly surprised when they saw this vision. They remembered the old proverb: "When Yanxi is happy, the king is happy." He accompanied Pazar back to the house. A few tits were playing in the lotus pond, and Nefiri was sitting by the pool.She was only wearing a see-through jacket with her breasts exposed.After approaching, Pazar immediately smelled the fragrance. "We've just received some fresh produce," the wife explained, "so I've got balms and oils ready for the next few months. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll scold me if you don't use them in the morning." Hearing his wife's half-joking tone, Pazar kissed her neck lovingly, then took off his loincloth and sat down on the grass.There were several stone vases at Nefiri's feet.Bottled with frankincense, a brown translucent resin extracted from the frankincense tree; a potion from the Punt region concentrated into small red lumps; Dark resinous labdanum from Crete.There are also several bottles containing the essence of flowers.Nefiri always mixes these ingredients skillfully with salamander oil, honey and wine. "I resign, Nefiri. At least I have nothing to fear, because I have no power." "What did the Prime Minister say?" "There is only one sentence: There is no room for change in the imperial decree." "We'll leave Memphis after Kadash asks to be reinstated as Chief Physician. He has his rights, doesn't he?" "Yes, unfortunately." "Don't be sad, dear. Our destiny is in the hands of the gods, and there is nothing we can do. Everything will be restored according to his will, and we can't be the masters. But we can create our own happiness. I am really relieved , can live with you, treat the poor under the century-old palm tree, and have enough time to exchange love with you, what more can I ask for?" "But how could I forget Blarney? And Suti...he's always been in my mind. I was so angry that my heart was on fire, and I even snorted like a donkey." "You must not change." "In the future, you will never be allowed to live in a big house, nor will you have beautiful clothes to wear." "It doesn't matter, even this one can be taken off immediately." Nefiri immediately took off her shoulder straps and lay naked on Pazar's body.The bodies of the two were closely connected, and the moment their lips and tongues met, a passion ran through their bodies like an electric current. Even though the sunset was warm at this time, the two couldn't help trembling.Holding Nefiri's smooth and delicate body is like being in a paradise for pleasure.Pazar was deeply fascinated by it, intoxicated, and let the waves of happiness drown them one after another. * * * "Bring more wine!" Kadashi shouted. The servant hastened to do so.Since the owner came back, he has been eating, drinking and having fun with two young Syrians non-stop.He will never touch a girl again.Before that unfortunate incident, he was not interested in women, and since then he has learned to only look for beautiful foreign boys.When you get tired of playing, report their illegal status to the police. evening.Dennis called a party again.Their anonymous letter to Ramses worked as expected.Now the king, who was in a dilemma, could only follow their words to announce an amnesty, and let all the cases disappear, including the case of Dennis of course.The only problem is - what if Asher comes back?He is worthless now.Dai Nisi should have a way to settle it. * * * The Devourer of Shadows sneaked into Kadashi's office from the garden.He walked along the curb so as not to leave footprints in the sand, then slipped to the kitchen window and crouched down, listening to the conversation of the two servants. "I'll help them get the third jug of wine." "Do you want to prepare a fourth pot?" "It must be. The old and the young of them can drink better than the whole legion. I'll go, so that he won't lose his temper in a while." The servant in charge of the wine opened another jar of wine produced in the city of Imau in the Delta, and the year of manufacture was also indicated on the label as "the fifth year of Ramses".This kind of red wine is very catchy and easy to get drunk. Once you drink it, you will soon reveal your true colors.When the work was done, the servant went out of the kitchen and went to the wall for convenience. The Devourer of Shadows just took the opportunity to carry out the task.He poured a poison made of plant extracts and snake venom into the wine jar.After Kadashi and his foreign lover drank, they would have difficulty breathing, and then die of convulsions all over the body. The crime may also be placed on the two foreigners.Anyway, no one would be interested in promoting their filthy filthy humiliation. * * * Just when Kadashi struggled painfully for a few minutes and finally handed over his soul to the god of hell, Dennis was making love to a Nubian beauty with big breasts and buttocks.He will not see this girl again in the future, but he still wants to take this opportunity to enjoy her usual passion.Women, aren't they just beasts created by men to satisfy them? Dennis was actually also sad for Kadashi.He can be said to be benevolent and righteous to him. Didn't the initial promise to let him be the Chief Physician come true?Alas, the only thing to blame is the dentist getting old too fast.On the verge of aging, he repeatedly made mistakes and was too risky for others.What's more, he still threatened to tell the whole truth, and now he has brought on such an end.As soon as Dennis proposed, the other members immediately agreed to invite the Devourer of Shadows.Not being able to grasp the position of Chief Physician is indeed a big loss, but the news of Pazar's resignation spread quickly, and their wish was fulfilled.No one will fight against them again. The plan is approaching the final stage - first the Prime Minister, and then the Crown.
