Chapter 12: tragedy

Two months ago, the disastrous trial caused an earthquake like change in Fedu. The secretary who participated in the verification of the case file and the patrol who closely protected the witness were demoted under various excuses, and several prosecutors were also implicated in this. The Royal Court of Tanding took the opportunity to appoint several commissioners to fill in the personnel vacancy. Carmen, the president of the general court, knows that it is not harmful for him to keep silent at this time. In this regard, Peggy privately expressed her family's goodwill. As a graduate of the royal law school, she was transferred to Fedu in order to gradually turn the judicial circles of the city into the privilege scope of Lancaster. "I will return to tantin soon, so you don't have to worry about the position. Reinschmann is very impressed by your mastery of the law." Peggy said. "Come on, Reinschmann must have made a lot of efforts to create a difficult situation." Carmen thought, but the situation is better than people. He was full of laughter and said with the kind tone of the elders to the juniors, "I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks. After returning to the capital, I must convey my thanks to your father, your respected Duke." After Peggy replied, she seemed to ask, "what will Fulan Fleur do?" "After a detailed investigation, the three hundred thousand gold Caesar in his account didn't exist, and the bank also said that it was completely due to the wrong operation of internal transfer. According to the practice, he will be removed from the post of directly under the prosecutor and transferred to the three class court." The first lady was sorry. The bank agreed with her only to provide temporary false accounts. Afterwards, a careless accountant issued a wrong transfer check to clarify it to the public and adjust the account. For the bank with the highest reputation, it is the greatest compromise. After all, forcing a financial institution to lose its credibility is not in the interests of the family. Among the Presbyterian and several palace ministers, there are still many people who are not satisfied with Reinschmann. And the chancellor is one of them. What's more, the emperor's Highness has been worried about the phenomenon of excessive aristocratic power. It seems that this highness wants to make up for the error of excessive decentralization when the former Emperor St Georges VII was in power, and has been looking for opportunities to pick on the issue. It doesn't matter to do something small for personal enmity. If it goes too far, it will inevitably make the Father doubt his ability. The fight for power within the family is no less than that of a group of wild cats who smell the smell. It's also an inevitable contradiction for every strong and powerful family. "No, you are so merciful. For the sake of judicial stability in Fedu, he must take full responsibility," said Peggy. The chief justice nodded, "that's how it's going to be." "Oh, it's lucky that he didn't let that guy shut up in the prison for half of his life." Peggy was a little more happy. "Before I left Fedu, if he could come to beg, maybe I would give him another chance, but at that time, I would put on the dirtiest shoes and let him lick them ten times." The residual heat at the end of summer and the drizzle in autumn make the air in Fedu thick, which always makes pedestrians feel that the skin is covered with a film that cannot be recognized by the naked eye. Anmei walked briskly away from the mud puddles on the road and walked north along the main road of the old district towards No. thirteen detention center of Feidu. The rain is not heavy, but the wind blows very fast. The girl's umbrella is always blown to the sky. After several times, she put the umbrella together like a wager and walked under the eaves like a kitten. Although the small raindrops wet the beautiful blonde hair, they did not affect Anmei's good mood. Today is the day Fulan was released after two months in custody. Compared with the clean streets and perfect drainage system in the New District, the roads in the old city are just mud roads in the countryside. No matter how careful you are, Anmei's pants are still stained. The girl really missed her home in the copper roof apartment in Rahm street, but the lover who was locked in the prison for investigation and the account that was temporarily frozen made her unable to pay the rent. A little cash is only enough for a simple household. Fortunately, the houses in the old district were cheap enough, otherwise she had to take grandma and Black Jack, the dog, to live on the street. However, all difficulties need to be solved. Her man, finally free. "Miss Anmei, it's my pleasure to meet you in the street." on the way, a carriage stopped in front of Anmei, just blocking the clean passage. The chief justice of the thirteenth court, Al Dunavan, put his head out and greeted warmly. "Ah, thank you, but I'm busy, please get out of the way." Anmei picked a beautiful brow and said impatiently. After Fulan was jailed, the girl felt sick about the man who came to haunt her. In two months, she refused at least eighteen dating invitations. "Sorry, I have a husband." Anmei showed him the engagement ring on her finger. El laughs, "in the upper class society, except for her husband, it's normal for ladies to have several lovers and knights, which is an elegant tradition." he tempts this girl from a humble background. "It's a pity that in our countryside, if you can't be loyal to your husband, you will be expelled from the village." Anmei replied. But no matter how to say it or not, this man just didn't know what was interesting, and he was buzzing around like a fly. "Please don't hurt my heart of giving in to love again." El seems to like reading romance novels. "If you see a beautiful lady in the rain, and don't offer her coat and carriage, you can't be a gentleman. Please get on the car, and let's go to a classy Salon to have a drink." Anmei pulled up her trousers and stepped on the mud to bypass the car. "If it's a gentleman, don't be stubborn." The acting chief justice changed his face. He wanted to tempt Fulan's lover. After playing with it, he immediately abandoned it to revenge the hatred of losing his post in the past. It's just a girl who hasn't seen the world, who has been a floating warbler. When a man is locked in prison and can't afford decent jewelry, a little sweet talk and money are not easy to catch. And El is very confident about his appearance and identity. Usually it doesn't take a few times, many girls who want to change sparrow into Phoenix will give up their innocent bodies. But he soon found that this girl was as hard to deal with as damned Fleur. The furious judge shouted, "don't put hope on Fleur. He's finished. Don't pretend to be chaste. Don't you want the sparkling necklace and gorgeous skirt? After a few years, poor life will turn you into an ugly old woman." "Yes." Anmei went back. "Magnificent big houses, beautiful jewelry and clothes are all good things. Unfortunately, I just don't like them." "Damn it, I hate the Friel family." El sat back in the car, thinking with depression and shame. The rain gradually stopped, and the buildings on both sides of the road were gradually sparse. Few people were willing to live next to the detention center. When the thick walls of the prison and the heavily guarded gate appeared in Anmei's eyes, the girl was suddenly nervous. She hid by the side of the road and found a relatively clean puddle. By the reflection of the water surface, she combed her wet hair with her fingers. "I hope I'm not too embarrassed." the girl muttered. "No, it looks beautiful." When Anmei covered her mouth in surprise and turned around, she separated her lover of two months. She was standing in the back. The prison meal was not delicious. He looked much thinner, his face was haggard, and her hair was disordered like a bird's nest, but her eyes were still bright and clear. Anmei threw herself into Fulan's arms and finally couldn't bear to cry. Holding her beloved girl and letting her vent, Fulan said with a smile, "let's go home." "Well." the little wild cat raised his head, ignoring the tears on his eyes, "let's go home." A week later, Peggy learned that Fulan Fleur was married. It's said that the wedding was very poor and nobody was invited. The only one who was present to congratulate was inspector Lime of the police hall. The father of the capital has urged her several times to return to Tanding as soon as possible. In the royal court, there is a position of grand prosecutor waiting. The first lady also did not know why she hesitated for several days to go on the road, as if expecting something. Sitting in the carriage surrounded by the private guard, she thought for a long time, but still didn't understand. Peggy just forgot how attentive and loving the dog that was stewed into delicious food was at the beginning. For things that you don't like and don't have feelings, you don't even have the qualification to be a miss toy. In the early autumn, the order of the church was finally abolished. Even the Emperor didn't expect that three months later, the Paladin won nothing. It's not your Highness's intention to make the city with the most tax revenue become a parasite that can be raised with money. Anyway, it's enough to give the holy see face, so there's no need to waste the interests of our country. "Please understand that the decree must be lifted, but the cost of staying in the order will continue to be collected. Tanding can only promise that." the emperor's special envoy said to the church. Fedu has recovered its vitality. Although the number of commercial ships is much less than before, everyone believes that within half a year, Fedu will become the most prosperous commercial metropolis. Fulan Fleur sent six application letters after his wedding, all of which were judicial institutions in several big cities, but there was no news. He waited for two weeks, and the only reply was because the personnel officer was curious about what the scandal was. In the letter, except for the routine statement at the beginning that there is no free work at present, and then a few long paragraphs full of enthusiasm to inquire about the details of the trial. Fulan threw the letter directly into the bin. "Maybe the good positions in big places are full of people." Fulan thought that he lowered his requirements and only wanted to work as a secretary, but still failed. The unemployed former prosecutor began to look at the courts in small towns, sending more than ten letters of hope. He is not willing to give up, or even leave home, or his desk. I believe that there will always be a place where he will be employed, for fear that he will miss the notice of employment because of temporary leave. As long as he can return to the court and the trial seat where his dream can take off again, Fulan is willing to live twenty years less. He just waited day by day in silence and didn't want to move. Only when he heard the bell of the mail car outside the house, he jumped up and rushed to the window, hoping to bring good news. But every time, I could only watch the mail car passing through the house with disappointed eyes and gradually went away. Three months passed quickly, and the original surplus deposit was still due to the previous payment of bail and the penalty deducted when he was dismissed from the first court. The cash at home was quickly filled into the rent, food and grandma's medicine money. The dishes on the table changed from meat and soup to potatoes. After eating potatoes for several days, Fulan complained to Anmei, "can't we have some fish soup?" Black Jack, the half size shepherd dog, is in a good period of growing up. He also whimpers and complains that potatoes should not be on the menu of predators. An Mei nodded and went out with a small coat. When she came back in the evening, the girl smiled and carried a net of sardines and beef. It was just that beautiful coat with lace embroidery on the collar was missing. "I'm so tired. I went to the market outside the city to buy it. The fish there is cheaper than in the city." "In fact, it's not much cheaper. Taking a stagecoach back and forth requires four silver yi'ao, which is the same as the price." Fulan disdains the little wisdom of women when shopping. "Oh." Anmei was still smiling. She didn't show her painful expression until she walked into the kitchen. She kept rubbing her feet. She didn't tell her husband that she was going to the port. Fulan had a good dinner. After the broken diamond necklace, gold foil pocket watch and high-end sofa and chair disappeared, Anmei asked, "do you want to find another job?" Then Fulan's roar frightened her, "even you don't believe that I can go back to the judiciary?" "How can you? You can definitely go back." Anmei promised, "you can write a letter, and I'll take care of the rest." A few days later, Anmei pulled back a small wooden trailer and a bunch of pots and pans. She got up in the morning, bought several bags of vegetables and meat, washed them carefully, and was busy in the kitchen all morning. Towards noon, the crispy and refreshing vegetable balls, the golden fried fish ribs, the fragrant miscellaneous soup and boiled vegetables were completed. Drag it to the market with a small trailer, and it will sell out in less than two o'clock. Anmei calls it a box lunch, 1. 5 silver yi'ao, which changes every day. The salesmen of the market and the small employees nearby love to eat. In the evening, we can also make some snacks and go to the night market to sell until twelve o'clock. Day after day, she could only sleep five hours a day. "Now, it's time for me to support this family." Anmei thought proudly, and then swept away the feeling of exhaustion. Fulan was finally desperate. He was indeed finished. He was not even wanted by the most humble rural circuit court. He calculated that there were no good results in the whole fifty application letters. This represents that at the beginning, it was regarded as a promising prosecutor, but now it has been completely abandoned by the judicial community. Until then, it seemed that he just woke up from a drunken dream. He found that there were many things missing in the home, the crowded small living room was empty, and grandma's kind eyes were also some blame. But the little wild cat, who is always warm and brings happiness, is hard to see her familiar figure again. Sitting on the steps at the door, Fulan felt the dog accompanying the owner. At dusk, the bright orange ribbon in the sky was gradually dyed by a deeper black dye, and the black silk was gradually filled with fine and fragmentary stars. The round moon embraced by the stars drew a cold white light on the night. He finally waited for the person to wait. Anmei pulled the trailer filled with messy pots and bowls towards home, took a few steps to rest, looked up occasionally, saw Fulan, immediately left the car and ran over, "how do you sit here? And received the reply not to hire you? Don't be sad, there are always people who understand the truth will appreciate you." Looking up, Fulan looks at Anmei. The girl's round face has lost its sharp chin, the big eyes surrounded by black eyes are dim, and the long and thin fingers are red and swollen because of cold water and knife wounds. He stood up and said in a decisive tone, "I don't want to be a prosecutor anymore, never." "You don't have to worry, I'm here, nothing's wrong. You'll succeed." Anmei clapped her chest and exhorted. "I want to understand that the person who is blocked by the fog of the past and doesn't look forward will always be a failure coward." Fulan announced, "tomorrow I will go to the market, Follain Friel, even if it's selling box lunch, it can sell more than everyone else." Compared with Fedu, as the king's capital, tanting is more impressive. At the beginning of the establishment of Byron, the original site of Tanding city is still an old town with only a small wall, surrounded by a ring of poor and remote plains, and after the conquest of the black land, the Como emperor decided to build a new capital. According to the mystical school and the church, the great emperor dreamed of the oracle on the night of the ban Shi Hui Dynasty. In the vast night sky of the desolate land and the old city, the stars changed the eternal orbit. Each star, emitting the sun like glow, hung a huge red cross in the sky. "This is the coronation given to me by the gods," the emperor thought. Soon after that, the emperor issued an order to build a new capital and was personally responsible for the survey and delineation of boundary markers. He came out from the center of the old town on horseback and galloped in every direction for a long time. He has not yet cast the whip that determines the border area of the new town. The entourage seemed to have a premonition of the birth of great things, and he asked shivering: "my majesty, how far do you want to go?" The emperor replied: "until the God who leads the way in front of me stops." Almost all the craftsmen and architectural masters from all over the country gathered here, but there were not enough hands, so the army also put down its position and became workers and masons. At the time of the death of the emperor, half of Tanding was built. It took the second who succeeded to the throne half of his life to let the scale of the city take shape. It was not until the third world that the immortal Danting stood on the earth with incomparable brilliance. Up to now, every stone in the city has a sense of history. On the road surface of any subdistrict, the mosaic mosaic mosaic pictures that have been mottled and faded may be from the hands of a master enshrined in the art palace. Even the execution site is the same. The solid wall erected by the tubular arch structure is connected in an arc, so that the whole execution field inside and outside is formed into an oval, and the audience seats on the wall in turn make it look like an open-air theater. In fact, watching the execution is one of the hobbies of the tandings. Several death row inmates were escorted to the center, and the executioner read the sentence and arranged for everyone. Later, they would enjoy hammer, stake or hanging. When the last name was read, the official deliberately stopped, "Igo Andres, the notorious gang leader, smuggler and murderer, has been punished." The audience was in uproar and more curious. The prisoners were bound to a wooden frame, and then four strong bulls were used to pull their limbs respectively. The torture, which was torn and torn alive at the end, was called dish punishment by the common saying. Only the heinous criminals could use the most terrible criminal law. But Igor Andehi's performance is obviously disappointing. The man covered by the black cap seems to have fallen into a trance, and he is bound and firm without any struggle. Even in accordance with the practice, in order to prevent the victim from roaring and swearing, the leader of the gang just resisted symbolically. "No Godfather." people blame. In the audience, the handsome half breed watched the execution with great interest. When the counterfeit ran out of breath, he couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that I could witness the death of" myself. " "Mr. Andres, please don't fail to live up to the master's trust." sitting on his right hand, a man full of nobility said, "please complete the task that the master told you as soon as possible." "Of course, the host's kindness is remembered." Igo replied, but at the same time, he whispered in his heart, "before that, I can get the tone." In the Fedu court, the damned prosecutor, maliciously ridiculed and speculated by hundreds of eyes. In prison, which prisoner dare to offend him? But the prosecutor's words soon spread in the dark world. "You know what? Andres was beaten up by chrysanthemum in the prison." "Ha, if I have a chance, I have to ask what it's like to be butt butted." The leaders of the underground world regard this as the most popular topic. Whether it's his allies or enemies, they are wondering what happened to the boy's ass. "I swear, you have to pay for it." Igo Andres squeezed his fist cruelly. Outside Tanding, his hitters had prepared several carriages for Fedu.
