Count of Monte Cristo

Edmond was going to see Cuderos today, and he had already found out where the Dubonga Inn was.

He didn't know where to find makeup materials and clothes, and he messed around in the bedroom by himself. When he came out, even Lin Ke was surprised.If Edmond was not recognizable at all from a distance, he was completely different, and he was now a perfect priest.Except for his pale face and gloomy expression, he is completely a high-ranking and wise priest who can save everyone.

"Edmond, where did you learn this technique?" It's against the sky!

"From Abbe Faria." Edmond selected a hat which was the favorite of the clergy, and put it on his head so that his eyes were also covered.

"You can teach me this technique too, okay?"

"You want to learn this?" Edmund took off his hat again and winked at Lin Ke, "Dear Lin Ke, I can promise you, but you must first read the "Geometry" I gave you. "

When Lin Ke heard this, his expression immediately changed. He said, "I don't think I am capable enough to learn this technology. We will discuss this matter later."

Edmund handed Lin Ke a mask and said to him, "You come with me."

Lin Ke nodded in agreement.

The two soon came to the Dubanga Inn.The two of them rode on horses, passed the long canal, and came to this inn, the beginning of this crime and the beginning of revenge.

This small inn was dirty and dilapidated, the ground was uneven, surrounded by wheat, it was extremely desolate.I think probably no one will stay here.

When Lin Ke and the others arrived there, the owner of the store was sitting there alone, and a woman was pale and sick, as if she was about to die.The host saw the golden light in the eyes of Edmund and Linke. He was full of beards, dark complexion, with a red kerchief on his head, and he greeted attentively: "Come! Dear guests! Welcome!" The black dog barks at them!Fierce!

Lin Ke is on the horse, and Edmund has come down.

"You are Mr. Cudeross?"

"Get out! You bastard!" Caderos yelled at the vicious dog, and the two roars were quite similar, and then he turned around again, smiling, "Yes, I'm Gaspar Caderos. I am very willing to serve you, my honorable sir! Are you going to stay at the hotel? That gentleman, come down, come in, come in... Come in!"

Lin Ke got off his horse, and the dog had already been taken away by the hostess. Before leaving, he barked a few times, which made people very upset.

"Were you a tailor before?" Linke asked casually.

"Yes! Now the business is not easy to do, so I can only change careers... Alas, life is hard!" He seemed to be surprised when he saw Lin Ke. The mask on Lin Ke's face was still on, revealing his mouth and eyes.

Caderos immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at Linko. He respectfully said to Edmund, "Do you want some wine? Come, sit here, and I'll get it for you. Don't be polite!"

He was out of Edmond's sight and returned five minutes later with two bottles of wine and a plate of fruit salad.

Edmond revealed his identity, "I'm Father Busoni, and I'm here to deal with a will. First of all, I want to re-establish your identity. Your name?"

"Gasparcaderos."

"What was your address 14 years ago?"

"23 rue de Meran, Marseille."

"Do you know a sailor named Edmond Dantès?"

Caderos seemed surprised, and cried out: "God! I knew him, he was my friend, we used to live together! But I haven't seen him for a long time! He's dead, poor man... ..."

"How do you know he's dead?" Edmund asked coldly.

"Ah..." Cuderos didn't seem to know how to answer, "I know, the news of his death came out a year after he was arrested in death row...I, no, we all know..."

"Can you tell me his story?"

"Yes, but why? Father, why do you want to know about this? I mean, do you know the purpose of this?" When he said this, he glanced at Lin Ke, and Lin Ke casually Eating fruit salad, as if not listening to their conversation at all.

"I have come to tell you that I am the priest who prayed to Edmond before he died, and he asked me to deal with his will. And he also has a request for me, which is the last of a man who wants to see God. pray."

"Oh! His will?" Cuderosse's eyes gleamed greedily. "What's that?"

"A diamond worth fifty thousand francs."

"Ah! That's a lot of money! But where did Edmund get this diamond? As far as I know, he died in prison, and his father died of starvation. If he had money, why would he let himself His father starved to death?" Caderos asked slyly.

Lin Ke clearly felt that Edmund was suppressing his anger when Cuderos mentioned his father.So Lin Ke interjected: "Edmond met a rich man in the United States in prison, and they had a great friendship. Before the rich man died, he gave Edmond the ring on his hand. Edmond entrusted me Father Busoni, my teacher, to fulfill his wish." Then he produced a ring, sparkling with diamonds, and the greed in Caderos' eyes was evident.He had believed the pretext, and asked impatiently, "And what is his wish? I mean what is the last wish of my poor friend Edmund?"

"He said to help him find his father's fiancée and his three good friends, and then sold the diamond, and divided the money into five points, one for each person. Now his father has passed away, and his fiancée has also disappeared. , the other two friends, Fernand and Danglars, have also disappeared, so I only found you, Caderos!"

A look of ecstasy popped up on Caderos' face, "Then, are the five points all mine?"

"Theoretically, that's the case..." Edmond said slowly, watching Caderos' expression.

"God! What's the matter? Can't God give hope to the poor? Why, theoretically, can't I get this diamond? What's the matter, my lord?"

Edmund said slowly: "Edmond told me that he was imprisoned because he was wronged, but he didn't understand why he was imprisoned until he died. He wanted me to understand the truth about his imprisonment!"

Caderos was silent, and Edmond mocked: "Don't you want this diamond? It can solve many of your difficulties? If you know the truth, you just need to tell me. I just want to complete what God gave me. test!"

Lin Ke was playing with the ring, and Caderos kept staring at Lin Ke's finger, wishing he could grab the ring and take it for himself.

He seemed to have made up his mind, "I know what's going on, and I'd like to tell you, but please keep it a secret, Mr. Shenfu."

"God! Do you doubt a priest's loyalty to God!" Edmond vowed.

"It started when Edmund came back with a full load of the Pharaoh. At that time, he was about to become the vice-captain. The captain, Meng Lien, liked the young and kind boy very much and wanted to promote him, but such importance caused Another person's jealousy, he is Danglars, he wants to be the captain, but Mr. Montlain doesn't trust him at all, so he hates Edmund very much. But Edmund, a kind boy, is really lucky He has just become a captain and is going to be a groom! Do you think he can not be envied? He has a very promising job, a good income, and a beautiful and generous fiancée, and everyone They like him so much! So their friends...Fernan and Danglars couldn't take it anymore, they were blinded by the poisonous jealousy, and they wanted to frame Edmond. This time the opportunity came , Danglars saw that Edmund had dealings with our great emperor, great rebel, great Napoleon, and he asked Edmund to bring him a letter! It was this letter that put Edmond in The dilemma..." He talked for a long time, then stopped to drink a glass of wine, his face was flushed, his eyes were vomited, and he was very disgusted.

"...they discussed sending Edmond to prison..."

"Enough! Caderos, you're drunk!" A woman scolded him, and Lin Ke looked back. It was his wife, a sickly woman, holding a dog and looking at them coldly, "You are talking nonsense like that. Bad luck!"

"Haha..." Caderos laughed, "You damn bitch! Get the hell out of here."

His wife coughed violently, and then went upstairs weakly, "These demons should all die..." she muttered.

Caderos called her to stop: "Smelly bitch, go and cook for the guest upstairs, don't let him starve!"

Lin Ke suddenly interjected, "Are there other guests in this inn?" He was purely curious, and he didn't expect that there would be people willing to live here.

Cuderos seemed to suddenly realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and his face turned pale. He said reluctantly, "Yes, a friend of mine used this. You know that poor people always have many poor relatives."

Linko didn't ask any more questions.

"Where did we talk... Oh, speaking of that letter, no, it's not that letter, but the report letter written by Fernand and Tanglars!"

"Who do you mean wrote it?" asked Edmund, staring at him closely.

"Danglars wrote it with his left hand, the cunning bastard! But it was Fernand who wrote it! He sent it! These demons sent Edmond to prison and ruined him." His whole life! One of them is to get the captain's seat, and the other is to get Edmond's fiancée... Poor Edmond, he was killed by his friend just like that..." Caderos left crocodile tears.

Although Edmund already knew all the truth, he was still trembling at this moment. Fortunately, he could barely stabilize his voice, and he continued to ask: "How do you know such details? Could it be that you also participated in this incident?" action?"

"No, I didn't!" Cuderos screamed, "I was just too drunk to leave! I was trying to stop them, but they said it was just a joke, but when Edmond was taken away , I just knew it was a conspiracy!"

"Then why don't you go to the prosecutor and tell the truth?"

"I'm afraid...they threatened me, Fernand and Danglars threatened me, saying that if I report on them, they will say that I am their accomplice, and I will go to prison then! And they also said maybe The judge would also consider me a member of the Bonapartists! I dare not... I am so sorry to my friend! I hate it and I regret it, so I often go to see his father!"

"You really did that?" Lin Ke expressed doubts.

Cuderos swears to the sky: "I did this, but his father still passed away. The old man is really sad."

"Then how are Fernand and Tanglars doing now? They must have been revenged by God, right?"

"My venerable priest, God doesn't care about these things, they become richer! And our group of good poor people died poorer! God reversed black and white, making good people poor and short-lived, and evil people Enjoy wealth and power!" Cuderos was indignant, "Danglars went to a bank to be a cashier because of the recommendation of Mr. Montlain. Don't worry, Mr. Montlain is a good man. He didn't know that Tanglars committed crimes. He did it because of his crimes. In fact, Mr. Montaigne was running for Edmund while he was in prison, and then he took care of his father until he died. Good God! What a good man, But this man is in trouble now, and is about to go bankrupt... Oh, I digressed again, saying that Danglars was a cashier, and then he provided supplies to the army during the Spanish War, and then he started the war treasury, and then He took a banker's daughter, and after the death of his ex-wife, he married a widow. The widow's family was very powerful, and her father was a servant of the king. Then Denglars became a millionaire relying on these relationships, and then I was made a baron!" At the end, he gritted his teeth, his eyes full of jealousy.

"What about Fernand? Did he marry Edmond's fiancée?"

"Yes, Fernand has been wanting to marry Mercedes since Edmond was arrested, but Mercedes still loves Edmond. She is fascinated by him and shed tears all day long. Fernand Nan went to join the army. He made military achievements in the army. Because Napoleon was defeated, he surrendered to the Bourbon dynasty and then took refuge in a general. The general treated him very well and was very powerful. In another battle, he and Others colluded with each other, made great military achievements, and then were made count! Before he became count, he came back once, and then married Mercedes. The poor woman is like a rootless duckweed, and Fernand became Without her support, she was alone at that time."

"Ah! Good luck tricks people!" Edmund sighed.

"Yeah! After the Spanish War ended, the Greek War of Independence started again. Europeans all supported Greece against Turkey. They thought it was a fight for independence and freedom! The French are romantic by nature, and everyone remembers the French Enlightenment , Fernan also asked to go to the Greek battlefield, where he served the Caliph, the governor of Greece, and got his favor. In the end, the governor was defeated and committed suicide, leaving him a fortune, which he brought back to France. He was already powerful and powerful No one can do anything to him!"

After Cuderos finished speaking, the priest in front of him turned pale, as if he had also been shaken.The three were silent for a long time.

"And this diamond?" Cuderos pointed to the ring.

Edmond made up his mind, "Since they have betrayed Edmond, I don't think Edmond will give them his inheritance. My dear friend, this diamond belongs to you! Good luck !"

After speaking, he got up, but he seemed to be unstable. Lin Ke supported him, and the two left the inn.

Caderos, who stayed behind, murmured thanks, thank God, thank the priest, thank Edmond!Lin Ke listened to his voice in disgust, wanting to leave this place quickly.The two of them went to Manacadros and sent them out, and they have been thankful.When Lin Ke left, he looked back and saw Cuderos' wife standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking at them with vicious eyes. Lin Ke was disgusted by her vicious eyes, and then he looked again There is a figure flashing past the right window on the second floor!It seemed that someone was peeking at them there, but they were afraid of being discovered!

Who is living in this small inn?He turned to look at Edmund, whose face was shadowed, gloomy and heavy.

Lin Ke kept his mouth shut, deciding not to anger Edmund for the time being.At this time, Edmund looked like a ghost crawling out of hell, gloomy and terrifying!
