Count of Monte Cristo

A few days ago Monte Cristo and Denglars met at the theater, and Denglars said something specious in the earl's box, implying that the father and son from Italy were really rich, Cavalcan Is Viscount Dee interested in finding a wife in Paris?Monte Cristo sarcastically said that the banker had a real foresight, but Danglars did not seem to catch his sarcasm.He also smiled and asked about the property status of the father and son.Finally Monte Cristo asked: "Miss Danglars is engaged to Viscount Marcelf, does the baron have another daughter?"

Danglars suddenly got stuck, couldn't explain clearly, and finally sighed with red eyes, Viscount Morcerf already had his own heart, and he couldn't bear to hurt his daughter when he married him.He also hinted that it was Heidi that Albert liked, and that this would hurt his daughter, both of whom were victims.

Monte Cristo sneered, but did not try to expose him.But he raised another question: what if Count Morcerf disagreed?He is a high-ranking Earl, with power and status. If he can't do what he wants, then the banker's career will not be able to advance to a higher level.

Danglars thought for a long time, and finally laughed disdainfully, and said: "Others think he has a noble blood and family, but it is clear that he is just a fisherman!"

Monte Cristo feigned surprise. "Fisherman? Monsieur Baron, why do you say that?"

"Hehe... I know his details very well, Your Excellency, it's just a gorgeous coat he puts on himself! I won't be afraid of him!"

"Then how did he become the earl and how did he get rich?"

"I don't know about that." Denglars closed his mouth tightly like an old fox.

"But you can go and check it! Maybe you have a clue, and you can do whatever you want. You must know that the Earl is very powerful now. I don't think it will be so easy for you to dissolve the engagement."

"What can you do, Your Excellency the Earl?"

Monte Cristo shrugged, "What can I do? If Earl Morcerf's power was obtained by fraud, and if you learned of his weakness, then it would be easy for you to divorce the engagement. You Do you mean it, Mr. Baron? Greece is not very far from us. If we go to investigate, it will be enough to go back and forth for a week. Maybe Viscount Cavalcanti is also waiting for you to find a noble wife for him. ?” Danglars seemed to be touched, and hastily bid farewell to Monte Cristo and left.

At that time, there were only two people in the box, Monte Cristo and Danglars. Monte Cristo sneered, and carefully watched the whole play before leaving the box.

That day seemed normal, but in fact there were many incidents.When Monte Cristo returned to the villa, the steward Bertuccio came back. He came back from the villa of Auteuil. He brought back a news-thieves broke into the villa of Auteuil and lost some property.The specific list is to be drawn up by the earl.What worried Bertuccio was that the thieves also left a letter, indicating that it was left to the Count of Monte Cristo, the current director of the Villa Auteuil.

The envelope of that letter is full of bright red blood, which is an ominous sign!

Bertuccio hands the bloody letter to Monte Cristo.Monte Cristo opened it, and he read the letter for a long time—so long that Bertuccio's clothes were almost soaked, and at last Monte Cristo threw the letter by the fire.Although it was summer and the stove was not turned on, Bertuccio lit a fire at once and reduced the letter to ashes.

Monte Cristo's face twitched, and he was indescribably depressed. He turned around suddenly and stared at Bertuccio fiercely, with a cold and deep voice.

"I hope you can help me with one thing."

Bertuccio bent over, "Please tell me."

The Count of Monte Cristo was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand to make Bertuccio retreat. "It's okay, you go back first."

Bertuccio didn't dare to speak much, and bowed and retreated.

Except Monte Cristo knew about this episode, no one else noticed it at all, only knowing that someone had broken into the Villa Auteuil.

Time flies, Lin Ke counts the days and they have been in Paris for more than three months.

Things are going according to plan and developing according to plan.When Lin Ke read the newspaper today, he understood that the second step of the plan had already begun.The newspaper published a piece of news about Count Morcerf, about him fighting in Greece. Although the newspaper said it very euphemistically, anyone who understands it knows what the words in the newspaper represent.Anyone who reads the newspaper will have a question in their hearts: Earl Marcerf betrayed Governor Ali in exchange for his future?

Of course, this kind of question is just a question. Count Morcerf is a member of the House of Representatives, but his enemies use this opportunity to attack him, and those who are friendly with him think it is a frame-up against him.The neutrals are on the sidelines.

Lin Ke folded the newspaper, thinking about the next move.Heidi and Yuli went to the beach, and Edmund bought a new yacht, so she couldn't wait to go for a swim.Albert was also in a very good mood when he learned that Danglars intended to break off the engagement, and he came to visit almost every day under the title of the Count of Monte Cristo.Menglian and Yuli often come here too, so Heidi suggested that the four of them go on a seaside trip together.This proposal was approved by Albert and Yuli, only Monlien expressed his reluctance to go, saying that he had more important things to do.The final result is that the four of them travel happily, oh, and Yuli's husband also goes with them.Counting the time, they have been traveling for five days, and the return journey is not far away.

Prosecutor Villefort's family was chosen by the devil, and the shadow of death hung over their heads.People in the city of Paris talked a lot, and many servants also resigned and dared not go to their house to serve again.

The Count of Monte Cristo was also in trouble.The Villa Auteuil is burglarized, and the superintendent of Paris intervenes.But instead of trying to catch and trace the murderer, they focused their attention and energy on the property of Monte Cristo, and they tried to find out the property of Monte Cristo.Villa Auteuil lost a certain amount of property, but that was a drop in the bucket after all.Monte Cristo realized that these gendarmes were ordered by others, so he ignored them.Private property is sacred and inviolable, which is a consistent agreement among European countries.Lin Ke understood this truth, otherwise the Pope would not have been so cautious about seeking the wealth of the Spada family.At the same time, another matter was also rumored in Paris: the news that the Count of Monte Cristo was a smuggler.

The rumor spread very quickly, as if it spread overnight. It was fine the night before, but when I got up in the morning, the news was everywhere like the air.Edmund's expression was calm when he heard the news, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.This news had a bad influence on the earl, and many people had already visited him to find out whether the news was true or not.If true, then the authorities could arrest the Earl for hooliganism and his property would be confiscated.Many people understand this truth, and I am afraid that many people are willing to believe the authenticity of this news.

"What are you going to do?"

"Honey, are you worried about me?"

"No." Lin Ke said angrily, "I'm afraid my good days are gone."

"Haha... Where do you think this news came from?"

"This..." Lin Ke hesitated. He didn't see any news about this rumor in the newspaper, but he knew it. Who told him?But he couldn't figure it out, Lin Ke was puzzled.

"The reason a rumor is a rumor is that it has no evidence."

"But it's not good for us."

"No, the news is in our favor."

"Did you do it?" Lin Ke's eyes lit up.Seeing Edmond's confident expression, he was a little frustrated, "What a mess, can't it be solved with violence."

"Using violence to control violence is never the best way." Edmund disagreed, "What I need is a fundamental solution and forgiveness. Villefort got Jack's help."

"Jack?"

"The people Jacob sent saw that he was in contact with Villefort. Let's assume that he was looking for the treasure. If he wants to get it, he will definitely come to investigate me. He may not remember me and you, but Steven does."

"Why do you think Steven will tell him?"

"Because he came to Paris following Steven, and it was also after Steven that he discovered the whereabouts of the treasure he had been looking for."

"evidence?"

"Honey, I received a letter a few days ago, clearly asking me to hand over the treasure, otherwise I will be ruined."

Lin Ke remained silent, apparently still digesting the news.

"I can't sit still. Since he is the first grader, I will be the fifteenth grader. This is a common saying you gave me. Since he threatened me with those, I will shake him out first, and don't you realize that our villa Are there many people around?"

Lin Ke nodded, yes.At first he thought it was Edmond's arrangement, but after a long time he also realized that those people were here to monitor them.He strongly supported Heidi to go out to play, but also to avoid letting Heidi find out that he was worried.He also tried to reduce the number of times he went out, so as not to cause any trouble to Edmund.

"Steven will come to Paris in two days, and the truth will naturally become clear. I think you should understand their relationship when you are on the boat."

After hearing what Edmund said, Lin Ke couldn't help but want to complain.How stupid he was then, but now that he thinks about it, he understands.What is his relationship with Edmund, what is the relationship between Steven and Jack.Based on the collected information about the two of them, Lin Ke imagined an ethical and emotional drama.Maybe it was Jack who fell in love with the noble young master who went out to sea at first sight. He was used to being a pirate and he was taken away immediately.That handsome, handsome, beautiful, arrogant and stubborn son of Stephen, a wealthy family, had never suffered such humiliation. He took advantage of his unpreparedness to jump into the sea to escape, and was rescued by a group of unlucky ghosts, and then the next thing was logical.They were captured, and Steven rescued them with a disturbed conscience. Finally, Steven's family found his news, and the action was extraordinary—the British Royal Navy directly dispatched and wiped out this group of lawless pirates in one fell swoop.Fortunately, Jack did not die, but escaped from birth. He loved and hated Steven so much, so he got entangled here.As for the treasure, maybe Steven, like Father Faria, believed in the existence of the treasure when he learned about it from his family, and he never gave up looking for it.This can be understood without seeing the badge of his family and the necklace of handed down treasures.

Lin Ke complained about his conjecture, but Edmund's smiling eyes turned gentle.He reached out and rubbed Lin Ke's head, which he hadn't done for a long time.

"Things are pretty much as you guessed."

"Ah?" This time it was Lin Ke's turn to be dumbfounded. He originally thought that his guess was nonsense, but he never thought that this was the truth.

"But you overlooked one point, Steven also wants that treasure."

"They are in the same boat." Lin Ke blurted out.

"Although Steven's father, the old Marquis George, was a Marquis, the family wealth he left to Steven couldn't support the glory of a marquis at all, and the nobility was just a shell. Just like the Pada family, they are just down-and-out nobles. Steven's ambition is not small, he needs money to maintain the glory and dignity of his family." Money is a good thing!With it, you can know everything you want to know, no matter how deep you hide, you can always pry open the insider's mouth, get what you need and use it for you.He didn't know how well Jack knew his details. There were only two people in this world who remembered his real name, himself and the person in front of him.

"Countess de Morcerf..." Link paused, "Did she recognize you?"

Edmund probably never thought that Lin Ke would ask this question, he was stunned, and after a long time, he laughed. This was a real hearty laugh, not like the smile he faced with Franz Alper's group.

"Who is she? What has she to do with me?" Edmund asked.

Lin Ke suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile, "I don't know, maybe her son will come to you for a duel, she will come to you to intercede, maybe you will take pity on her and let her go without a fight, I don't know."

"I didn't hurt Albert." Edmond shook his head and said indifferently, "The rumors in the market are rumors after all, so I will be unscathed." He hinted that Denglars investigated Fernand, and all this was done by someone else started, and he just said a few words.

"Then the rumor about the smuggler?" Lin Ke was still a little worried.

Edmund kissed him on the cheek, "These will disappear in two days." At that time, it will be rumored that Fernan betrayed Governor Ali.

Lin Ke looked at Edmund's resolute face, kissed his eyes, and then he felt his eyes darken, and Edmund's lips had fallen.
