v2 Chapter 24: who can save tire

Tyre, Cyprus.

"Beulal of Haifa killed by the mob?"

Hearing what happened in Haifa a few days ago, Sharman III raised his head and asked calmly: "Is it the mayor of Haifa?

"Yes, Your Majesty." A

A person dressed as a priest said respectfully: "That's Beulal.

Then," said Sharman III, sitting on his throne, and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"

The priest smiled wryly and said: "Because the murderer is not a person, but a city. The sheriff of Haifa said that Beulal was hanged in front of the city and stoned to death because of his greed and aroused public outrage.

"Arouse public outrage?"

Shaman III raised his brows, and asked back: "So, did Andrei Beulal break the law? Did he take away the daughter of a commoner, or the gold of a high-ranking businessman? Did the priests of Haifa submit the recent A report letter?"

Well, sorry, that's not clear, Your Majesty. The old Andre shook his head in confusion, and said with some stubbornness: "However, there is indeed no report letter." So say it. Without the report letter, Beulal did not break the law.

Shaman III spoke in a calm and orderly manner: "It is the priests' right and duty to report the mayors and priests who take bribes, disrespect, murder, seize wealth, or cause displeasure. If the central high priest covers up He, so it is his guilt here. On the contrary, knowing that his colleagues are guilty but not showing hatred, that is the guilt of the local priests. In case of wrong judgment, at that time, as long as the "one Baler" is sacrificed for Tyre. His children were naturally raised by Tire. Since his child was murdered and his family was cut off, it was natural for Tire to avenge him.

Shaman III declared loudly: "Of course, you all know that large-scale arrests are impossible. Haifa is an important port in Tire. Although it is temporarily abandoned, it is only because the Romans closed the port. Chaos. In the end, the loss is too great. After I have reached an agreement with His Majesty Octavian, Haifa can continue to open to Rome in the future.

"Your wisdom and evil are comparable to that of King Solomon. A minister next to you suddenly realized it and praised respectfully.

The corners of Shaman III raised his lips, nodded reservedly, and said in a brisk tone: "It's just the holy law established by the sages. As a king, studying the code is an extremely necessary sacred mission, there is no need for it." The rules are like this, but the king who fulfills them not much. '

The central high priest next to him couldn't help sighing: "If you were born hundreds of years earlier, Tire would not stop there. Seeing that the mood of the officials in the palace seemed to become a little depressed, Shaman III also coughed solemnly and interrupted: : "Okay, don't talk about these trivial things. You said the assailant could not be caught, "Huh?"

The old priest Andre looked at Sharman III blankly.

"I said you—you are still the same. Andre. You are good at everything, but you are too rigid.

Seeing Priest Andre's dazed face, he didn't react. Shaman III was in a good mood, and he laughed out loud: "You have to use your brain. King Solomon's proverbs are dry, although I have recited them all, but I still don't understand them deeply enough. I can't quote them. Andre He nodded cheerfully and answered, hesitated for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Then what should we do? "

"It's very simple. Although there are many people who threw the stone, how many people can hang him up? Who knocked him unconscious?" Shaman III said flatly: "Send someone to take the general The person who hanged Ural and the person who knocked him unconscious came out. They were also hanged on the city wall. One life for one life, this is considered revenge, and if others refuse to confess, they will be punished as cover-up crimes.

"You are very kind."

All the ministers in the hall praised, and Andre was a little slow to react, but he also said to Ruo quickly. Then he asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, Ender?! Didn't Simon go to Haifa to arrest the fake **** more than half a month ago? Has he come back?" Not yet. But counting the days, it's time for Simon to come back.

As Andre said, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, do you think there is any connection between these two things? Although the time is not right, they are all Haifa City after all." It's just a coincidence, there is no need to care. Besides, the man who claimed to be **** was just a liar after all. Hearing his words, Sha Manshi shook his head and the corners of his mouth raised: "No one knows where the real Son of God **** is now. He has long been I was placed in a secret residence, and you all know about it. It must be a liar who has heard a few words and can use some magic spells. At best, he is just fooling uninformed country folk.

"Put some faith in your brother, Andre. Not only did I send Si, but also the priests who accompanied him. They will bring Si back safely.

Shaman III looked at Andre with a slight smile, and said kindly: "You are old and your body can't hold it anymore. Go back and rest first." Although King Tire's tone was calm, there was no doubt about it.

Under the sneering gazes of the surrounding officials, Priest Andre bowed his back and bowed respectfully to Shaman III, and walked slowly towards the outside.

When he reached a place where no one was around, the old priest frowned slightly.

I'm afraid something will happen. Andre's seemingly honest and honest face revealed a little seriousness. He sighed, and straightened his stooped back a little.

Is that guy finally going to kill himself and his brother Ximen?

It was enough to contradict his brother many times. But if even himself, who never contradicted him, was on the murder list, he suffered after that. How many people will there be? Andre murmured in a low voice, looking at the bird clouds that gradually rolled up by the sea: "The king's anger is like thunder, and his violent words are better than poisonous blades. Only the words of a wise man can defeat that wise man?" Who can be that wise man now?" Sold the lands of Tire for peace, and bought at exorbitant prices from the Romans a great deal of unnecessary luxuries, and sold them grain and wood—in Ender In Lie's opinion, this is not a long-term move after all.

Although the Romans have stopped fighting now, their ships are blocked in front of the port. That attitude is clear at a glance. If it wasn't for the fact that the Tyrians would make money and let them play a buffer role with Egypt, perhaps the Romans would have already entered. However, all those who opposed Sharman III died in accidents without a trace of being murdered. As for the entire country of Tire, almost overwhelmingly support the King of Tire, and regard him as a wise king.

This made Andre terrified. Andre looked at the eastern coast worriedly, his heart beating fast and restlessly. In this situation, is there anyone who can save Zhun Luo?

A delusion suddenly appeared in his mind. Then he dispelled his dreamlike thoughts with a wry smile, his body bent down again, and that simple and honest smile appeared on his face—as expected, it was gone.
