my days in ancient egypt

On this day, Mu Xiaomu was making a silver ring under the guidance of Shi Shi.

Mu Xiaomu was really taken aback by Ferm who came in suddenly, and quickly put away the ring.

"Ferm, what's the matter?"

"There are clues about the last case today, Wang asked me to inform you."

"Okay, I'll go right away." After finishing speaking, Mu Xiaomu took off the mud-stained apron on his chest, washed his hands and followed Ferm out of the quarry with the permission of the officer.

Originally thought that Ferm would take him to the palace, but Ferm walked in the direction of the Kanal Temple.

Entering the solemn gate of the temple, indoors, a priestess kneels in the empty hall, and next to it, an ax with bloodstains is still on the side.

Unexpectedly, Seves also stood aside, while in front, Ramses was interrogating the kneeling priestess.

Mu Xiaomu came closer, and after seeing the appearance of the priestess clearly, he screamed out.

"Fini!"

It turned out that it was Finny who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

Called by Mu Xiaomu, Ramses looked at him suspiciously, and then asked, "Mu, do you know her?"

Mu Xiaomu looked at Feeney, but Feeney didn't dare to look at Mu Xiaomu, glanced at Sevis who was standing aside, then lowered his head.

"She is the daughter of the Maffeils, the missing Finny."

"nonsense!"

As soon as Mu Xiaomu finished speaking, Sevis immediately denied it.

"Wang, Seves doesn't know Finney at all."

"You're lying!" Mu Xiaomu walked in front of Fenny, seeing her shrinking back in fear, felt distressed and couldn't help feeling more hatred towards Seves.

"Phinney, tell the truth. Is this person who took you away? Is this person related to the death of your parents?"

"You mean that I killed that couple? What evidence is there!" Seves replied calmly, then looked at the silent Ramses, and respectfully saluted: "My lord, Seves was wronged. "

Ramses was silent for a long time, and then asked Feeney who was kneeling on the ground.

"This ax was found in your house, and the person who found it was Seves. What do you want to say?"

Seves? !Is he going to blame Finny? !

Feeney shook his head in horror when he heard the words, "I...I don't know, I didn't do it...I didn't kill people..."

Suddenly, Sevis fell to his knees.

"Wang, in fact, I also concealed the identity of this priestess. When I found her, she was lying on the ground covered in blood. I felt sorry for her, so I took her in and made her a noble priest. But Who would have known that she was actually a murderer."

Hearing this, Feeney looked at Sevis in disbelief, then shook his head vigorously.

"No, it's not like that, you're lying, I didn't kill someone..."

Seves ignored the crying Finny and continued: "Please punish the king!"

Apparently, Seves dismissed the whole incident completely, and those who don't know are innocent. Facing Seves' excuse, what does Ramses think? !

Ramses was a little startled by Seves' sudden disturbance. After a long time, he ordered Finny to be imprisoned first, while Seves punished him for ten days of confinement in the temple for the crime of neglecting his duties as a high priest. , Within ten days, no one is allowed to go anywhere.

Serves bowed his head to accept the crime, but glanced at Mu Xiaomu with pale eyes, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

You see, even if I kill someone, you can't do anything to me, let alone you have no evidence!

Afterwards, Mu Xiaomu bought off the guards in the cell and went to see Fei Ni.

In the cell, Finny curled his knees and leaned against the corner. His previously smooth face was now a little tired, and the corners of his brows, which were not stained with worries, were also stained with sadness.

Meeting and talking again, Mu Xiaomu would never have imagined such a scene.

Seeing that Mu Xiaomu came to see her, Fei Ni walked over and grabbed his hand through the wooden fence.

"Mu, Mu, that day, I deliberately pretended not to know you, Sevis asked me to do it..."

Mu Xiaomu nodded, comfortingly said: "I know, I know you have been wronged, now, you tell me the cause and effect of the matter, and I will try to save you."

Finny nodded.

"That day, my mother and I just came back from the outside, and before we could see clearly, we were stunned by a black shadow. When I woke up, I saw the dead bodies of my mother and father, so I turned around and ran out of the house in fear. I kept running. Suddenly, I tripped and when I raised my head, I saw Sevis standing in front of me."

"Sevez said that I killed my parents. I didn't admit it. He also said that I would go to jail. I refused, so he promised me that I would not go to jail, but the price was that I was a card. The priests of the Temple of Nar have to pretend not to know you..."

"The blood-stained ax was found under my bed by Seves, but it's not mine. It's obvious that Seves blamed it. Why doesn't the king believe me..."

"I'm not stupid, but I can't see what Seves wants. He even paid for his ten-day fine for doing this. What the hell is he trying to do, Mu? I saw him talking to the air through the crack of the opened door, and at that time, I was so scared that I turned around and ran away, Mu, tell me, Sevis has some kind of conspiracy."

Feeney said a lot, and Mu Xiaomu sorted out the main points of the incident based on Feeney's words.

"You didn't see who killed the Maffir couple, and Seves, in your opinion, there was a conspiracy to save you, but you don't know that Seves put the blame on you this time. S purpose."

Feeney nodded, "But I'm sure Sevis is definitely planning something."

Mu Xiaomu has always disliked Servis, and vaguely felt that he hated him very much. Several times, Servis wanted to put him to death.

Thinking about it carefully, I didn't have any friction with him, so where did his tit-for-tat come from?

After comforting Fei Ni for a while, Mu Xiaomu returned to the palace with doubts.

Ramses was not in the palace, Mu Xiaomu's eyes were suddenly attracted by a string of necklaces on the table.

Walk over and hold it in your hand.

It was a fine amulet.A gold scarab is studded with striking turquoise and carnelian.

The carving is exquisite, obviously not something that a parallel importer like him who has just learned for a few days can make.

When Ramses came back, Mu Xiaomu talked to him about Fei Ni, but Ramses said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

From Ramses' slightly tired face, Mu Xiaomu could see Ramses' attitude.

Most likely, he was ready to sacrifice Finny.

Mu Xiaomu let out an oh, and sat aside in frustration.

Ramses looked up at him, noticed the scarab chain he was holding, and said with a smile, "Do you like it?"

Mu Xiaomu nodded.

Ramses sighed, walked over and hugged Mu Xiaomu from behind.

"Are you familiar with that priestess?"

Mu Xiaomu thought for a while and nodded.

Ramesses paused for a while, then suddenly said: "In the future, you will know more people..."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaomu stood up suddenly as if he had been slapped in the face.

Ramses has already said so, it is undoubtedly to...

"You know Finny was wronged."

Mu Xiaomu was a little excited, so that when he stood up, the things around his waist fell to the ground, making a crisp crashing sound.

"Mu, don't be willful."

This is capricious?

Facing Ramses' indifferent face, Mu Xiaomu never felt that the lover in front of him was so strange.

In the past, he thought that Ramses was a gentle person, but that was just his intuitive feeling, because he cared, so the other party always showed gentleness and the best in front of him.

However, Mu Xiaomu ignored that he was still an emperor, the king of a great empire, a pharaoh who was supported by thousands of Egyptians and regarded as the favorite of the gods.

It seems that, back to the previous River Valley Festival, the man on the opposite side is still an invincible king in a white robe.

And he was, is, and will be an ordinary person in the past.

He shouldn't try in vain to let such a perfect person feel his thoughts.

Or, as a king, Ramses' choice is undoubtedly correct, who would sacrifice a high priest because of a commoner woman.

Maybe it's because Mu Xiaomu couldn't see through it. In 3000 years of Egypt, a country of slavery, it is already very good to have someone who treats you like a treasure in the palm of your hand. Why bother asking others to do what you want.

However, Mu Xiaomu would rather that he couldn't see through, that way, he could play around like before. When everything is seen through, it's like a huge mirror unfolded in front of you, showing you with nowhere to hide, wanting to escape Can't escape.

It is precisely because of understanding that I feel sad.
