Eagle Byzantium

"It was at dusk, and the man wanted to steal my coins. I couldn't recognize his face during the scuffle." The peasant woman was also confused, and the deacons of the New Association around her who were holding the fragments of the code were also speechless. If they were witnesses, If you really can't tell clearly, then you really can't tell because the farmer and the lumberjack are both about the same stature. They couldn't even see clearly the guard soldiers with torches in front of the city gate corridor, let alone the extreme panic at that time. of victims.

"I was buying iron wrappings for farm tools at the market, and then I saw this thief snatching the lady's money, and I chased after him." The farmer said, and took out the iron wrapping parts from the package as pawns. as evidence.

At this moment, Anna, who was listening to the trial behind the curtain, asked, "With so many iron packages, there should have been a collision sound at that time."

As a result, a look of horror appeared on the peasant woman's face at this time, "I remembered that the person who robbed me of my money seemed to be carrying a linen backpack, and there was a sound of iron objects colliding with each other inside."

There was an uproar at that time, the farmer's face turned red, and many woodcutters who were watching shouted and cursed, begging the princess in purple behind the curtain to judge justice, otherwise they would abandon the Renewal Society and the Galganus Brotherhood and go Go to the monastery on the mountain to apply for divine judgment.

It's terrible, this is related to the judicial dignity of the military government, and it has to be interrogated clearly. Anna pondered for a while, then turned to ask the woodcutter, "What were you doing when the case happened?"

"I just cut down some mature tree trunks and branches from the sacred forest, cut them into firewood, and sent them to the market for sale." The woodcutter replied. Anna nodded, praised his honesty, and then ordered " The lumberjack's rucksack was also unfastened."

Most of the loggers are poor people without real estate. Their guilds can only rely on the military government to make a living in the woods and swamps, so they are also the most supportive of the military government.

The deacons came forward and took it off to take a look. All the tools and equipment placed in the courtyard were lumberjack's tools, and naturally they were all covered with iron. Now the farmer's relatives and neighbors who were watching also shouted, saying that since this was the case, Then the testimony of the victimized peasant woman cannot be used as the basis for conviction.

This time, it seemed that they were at an impasse again. Anna twisted her body and began to think on her seat. Gottschild looked on with a smile and said nothing.

In less than half a minute, Anna sat upright behind the curtain again, and the people in the courtyard became quiet again, waiting for the opinions of the purple-robed princess and director of the Agricultural Supervision Department.

"It was dusk at that time, and it is difficult to determine based on the memories of witnesses alone. However, guards, please tell me, how far is the city gate corridor from the market?" Anna asked.

After the two city gate guards knelt down and saluted, they said that it was not too far away, about a hundred Anna feet away, so in such a short period of time they could not clearly see who was the thief and who was the helper. The man who caught the thief.

"Then you go for another run, carrying all the iron-wrapped luggage." Anna said this with a lazy and theatrical tone. Many people immediately expressed their incomprehension. The judgment was neither based on the law nor on the law. What is it like to conduct a divine judgment?

But the Princess in Purple Clothes could not disobey her order, even if she was completely fooling around. During the commotion, the guards and the deacons of the Zixinhui sent the two to the location of the market tax office, which was opposite the city gate.

Anna and Gottshilde boarded the floor of the Municipal Tax Office, "Gawain asked me to tell you that if you live in the future, you must choose a high place to avoid moisture, and you must use gauze to make a closed bed when sleeping. Curtains to keep out mosquitoes so that this horrible disease won’t happen again.”

"These are not difficult for me and Baldwin's wealth to do, but when this kind of curtain is woven, will you and Gawain have one?" Godschild joked, and Anna blushed. Of course you know, she and Gawain have...

"Blow it up." In order to avoid embarrassment, Anna changed the subject and waved to the servants holding copper trumpets beside her. Several servants stretched out their colorfully decorated trumpets outside the balcony and blew loudly.

The two "suspects" both carried their bags and ran as fast as they could, like hounds and rabbits running in the fields. Anna laughed when she saw it, and the people below also surrounded her, unaware of the purple princess. What are you doing.

After a while, the guards at the end of the city gate pulled the two back. After Anna heard the report, she announced to the onlookers below, "The farmer is the real culprit."

Many villagers in the suburbs immediately started shouting, and some even shouted that the military government and Princess Ziyi deliberately favored the logging guild, and the whole scene became chaotic.

Anna was very angry when she heard this, "For the sake of fairness, let these two people run two more times, whichever is the third time."

Then, the guards brought the exhausted two people back after two more games. The result was indeed the same. Anna reiterated loudly, "The farmer is the real murderer. This place is only a hundred feet away from the city gate." The distance and the weight they carried were roughly equal. At that time, the thief tried his best to run away, and the woodcutter tried his best to chase. In the end, the thief didn't even get out of the city gate. He was chased and beaten when he went there, which shows that he can't run at all. Now I am judging the case. The thief is trying his best to clear his name, and the woodcutter is also trying his best to prove his honor. When running, he is doing his best - and in the three competitions, The farmer has lost, which is enough to prove that he is the thief. There is no reason for him to chase the woodcutter. The woodcutter would be caught by such a person a hundred feet away."

Gotshilde smiled and shook his head, then clapped, followed by the stunned guards, deacons, and lumberjacks, and then the villagers and citizens also listened. The farmer could only lower his head and confess: He was originally He helped the village buy farm tools wrapped with iron, but when he saw this peasant woman selling a lot of shiny copper coins, he thought about his poor farming situation, and he had evil thoughts.

"God will forgive you. If you think that the land in your village and commune is not good, you can apply for some farmland in the sacred estate as a share farmer, and the harvest can be shared with you. If you want to exchange money, Municipal Secretary I will help you acquire it." After Anna comforted her, she issued the order, "But you don't have a share in this year's application. You must also work for free for fifteen days during the harvest season of the sacred property. The punishment for your behavior.”

"Wise Princess in Purple!" The citizens and villagers onlookers shouted, and Anna walked down the stairs with a somewhat proud smile, arm in arm with Gottschild.

"You are so proud now."

"Don't say that. For the sake of your illness, sister, this winter and next spring, you will go to live in Fort Mojiburde. It is adjacent to huge mountains, has clean streams and healthy woods. It will be of great benefit to your body. Good thing, I'll accompany you." Anna sent out a warm invitation, but several messengers were standing in the hall on the first floor sweating, and they brought the news:

His Majesty the Emperor's army is heading towards Tarsus.

"Did Father really come to ask for this city? It's really lively now." Anna settled down and said, standing on the fifth step of the stairs. (To be continued ~^~.)
