Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo left suddenly because his steward Bertuccio sent him a letter.The Count of Monte Cristo rushed to Villa Auteuil with Bertuccio and several servants.The letter said that at ten o'clock tonight someone would go to the Villa Auteuil to steal certain papers and property.

The Count of Monte Cristo's first reaction was that someone deliberately made this plan to lure him in, but after thinking about it, it was too much to worry about. If he had such an enemy, he wished that he could find him himself and deal with him .Perhaps their purpose was not property but name, and he had a goal, so he gave Bertuccio a few words, and he asked the servant to arrange something, and he himself wanted to catch the thief with his own hands.At the same time, Lin Ke also heard the news and rushed over.Heidi is still at the ball, and she represents Monte Cristo.

He hid in the space he arranged with a dagger in his hand.He could see everything, the black was thick, it was pitch black outside, but it was effortless for the Count of Monte Cristo.Lin Ke also followed him, sitting on a chair.After twenty or ten minutes like this, it was already ten o'clock.

All the lights outside the door had already been turned off.If someone wants to attack or steal, they may climb in from the stairs on the second floor, because the earl never closes the window on the left of the second floor.He guessed that the target of this person should be his bedroom or study room, where all the valuables were stored, so he let Bertuccio go to the study room, while he stayed in the bedroom.

The clock struck ten o'clock.Monte Cristo's keen hearing heard a sound from outside, as if someone were scratching the glass.Lin Ke also heard that voice.They stared carefully in the direction of the sound.Of course Lin Ke couldn't see anything. After 1 minute, a person came in from the window.

Monte Cristo moved his lips, and Lin Ke held his breath. "How bold the bastard is!" whispered the Count. "There is a watcher outside."

As he approached the door leading to the bedroom, Monte Cristo, expecting him to enter, raised a shotgun; but he heard only the sound of the bolt sliding.This is just a precautionary measure.The midnight visitor, unaware that the count had removed the hasp, thought he was now safe, and began to rise poisedly.He fumbled something out of his pocket, but the Count could not see what it was, and he put it on a coffee table, then stood up straight in front of the desk, and felt for the lock of the drawer, and unexpectedly To his surprise, the key was not there.

The count soon heard the sound of a string of keys, such as those that the coppersmith always kept by his side for opening various locks, and which thieves called "nightingales," no doubt because they The reason why I can sing the nocturne of Dingling Dangling. "Ah, ah!" murmured Monte Cristo, with a disappointed smile, "he is only a thief!" The man, whose back was turned to them, suddenly looked over the table and turned his head.

Monte Cristo was astonished. "This is—"

This sound has already attracted the thief's attention, and he began to want to escape.

Lin Ke lit the candle decisively, at this time Bertuccio who was in the study had already rushed over.

"Good day, Monsieur lost in someone's house," said the Count of Monte Cristo. "What is your purpose, Monsieur Cuderosse?"

Caderousse gasped for breath. He didn't expect this man to say his name in one breath, and he didn't know who he was?He wanted to run away, but the Count of Monte Cristo didn't let him go. "I think you are here to steal. You must be wondering who I am. I am the owner of the property you are going to steal tonight."

"The Count of Monte Cristo?"

"Yes." Monte Cristo sneered. "You must be very curious how I know your name, Caderos. Of course, you must think in your heart that I will not know."

Caderos was terrified, he fell to the ground, begged bitterly, and said something that he didn't mean to do.

"Say!" cried Monte Cristo, "who sent you here?"

"My lord, I was forced to—"

"Every prisoner said that."

"I……"

"Tell you, you used to kill two lives for a diamond, and now you are going to steal it again, damn it!" Seeing Caderos' terrified expression, Monte Cristo continued, "Father Busoni is my friend." , I heard that he once saved a person and gave that person a diamond, this person is you, you are really disappointing, stupid and greedy!"

"I, priest, my God, you are not serving your sentence, you escaped?"

"No, one person rescued me."

"Who"

"An Englishman, Lord Weimar."

"Why did he save you?"

"He was by the way."

"By the way."

"He was saving that Corsican named Benedetto. His father was a very rich man."

"What became of this Benedetto?"

"I, I don't know."

"Haha..." the count burst out laughing. "Your lies are ridiculous. There is one of your accomplices out there, and that person may be him!" He ordered Bertuccio to catch that person, and Bertuccio went out.

Seeing that his lie could not be maintained, Caderousse said weakly, "Yes, he asked me to steal, because he has a rich father, you. "

"Me?" Monte Cristo was surprised now.

"Well! I believe so, because the count found him a false father, because the count gave him four thousand francs a month, and left him half a million francs in his will."

"Andrea Cavalcanti?"

"Yes. He is your son." Caderousse said confidently, as if he had caught him. "You will not send me to prison, will you?"

Caderousse got up and approached Monte Cristo. "My lord, you won't let your illegitimate son go to jail like me, will you?"

"If you can't be punished, I don't think God will forgive me." The Count of Monte Cristo said coldly.

Suddenly Caderousse took out an open knife and stabbed Monte Cristo in the chest, "Go to hell!"

The Count of Monte Cristo reacted quickly and immediately kicked him away.

Caderousse immediately knelt down and kowtowed, ""Please spare me, please!"Crying with snot and tears.

"Shut up!" Monte Cristo said, "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, write down some words, and I'll let you go."

Caderousse, overjoyed, hastily picked up his pen, when he heard Monte Cristo read a sentence, and wrote it down on paper.

When Monte Cristo finished writing, the words on the paper read: "Mr. Danglars, the man who is now being honored by you and who is about to marry your daughter is a felon who escaped with me from the Toulon labor ship. He is number 59 and I am number 58. His name is Benedetto, but he doesn't know his real name because he never knew who his parents were. - Caderousse.

The address is Avenue Anton, Baron Danglars' residence, Monsieur Danglars. "

Monte Cristo said: "Okay, you can leave, remember to go back the same way, your accomplice is still waiting for you below."

"My lord, are you really willing to forgive me?"

"Go away, before I change my mind."

Caderousse climbed down very carefully.

Monte Cristo had turned his head, looked at the letter and put it away.

Linko grabbed him, "Just let him go like this?"

"No, God will punish him."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I heard Caderousse's cry like killing a pig.

"Killer! I'm going to die! Help me, help me! My lord!"

This doleful appeal pierces the darkness.Monte Cristo took his servants to the scene of the accident.

"Help!" cried Caderousse, "a murder!" Caderousse had fainted, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, and the murderer had disappeared.

Monte Cristo had Caderousse carried in. "Go find a doctor and bring the prosecutor. There is a murder case here."

Monte Cristo took out the phial and poured a drop into his nose.Caderousse opened his eyes. "I'm going to denounce him!"

"Who?"

"My murderer, Benedetto."

"I've sent for the prosecutor."

"No, I can't wait any longer, Lord Earl, please write me a statement." Thinking of revenge after death, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Monte Cristo wrote: I was murdered by the Corsican Benedetto, prisoner number 59 on the Toulon drudgery ship, and my companion in a chain. "

Monte Cristo handed the pen to Caderousse, and Caderousse signed it with all his energies, fell back on the bed, and said: "You will dictate the rest, my abbe, and you may say that he calls himself Ann. Andre Cavalcanti. He's staying at the Hotel Dauphin. Oh, I'm dying!" He passed out again.The priest made him sniff the liquid in the vial, and he opened his eyes again.The hope of revenge did not forsake him.

"You should thank God, He gave you many opportunities, but you squandered them."

"I used to believe it, but I'm so poor."

Monte Cristo said contemptuously, "God has punished you,"

Caderousse's breathing gradually became weaker. "Give me some water!" said he, "I am so thirsty, I am on fire!" Monte Cristo gave him a glass of water. "But that bastard Benedetto," said Caderousse, returning the glass, "he can get away with it!"

"Let me tell you, no one will escape. Benedetto will be punished too."

"No," said Caderousse, "no, there is no God in heaven and earth, there is no God, there is only destiny."

"There is a God in heaven and earth, God," said Monte Cristo, "and God will not spare a sinner."

"Who are you then?" asked Caderousse, fixing his dying eyes on the count.

"Look carefully at me!" said Monte Cristo, bringing the light closer to his face.

"Lord Waymar?" Caderousse gasped. "No, you are the Abbe Busoni!"

"Think again, think further, search your early memories." There was a magic in the count's words, which revived the poor wretch's weakened mind again.

Caderousse shook his head.

"The Count of Monte Cristo had a slight sadness on his face." The most abominable thing is that those who do evil have forgotten their sins. "

"Who are you?" asked Caderousse again.

Monte Cristo knew that he was not far from death, so he bent down and whispered his name. His voice was so soft that only he could hear it, but Caderousse heard it. With the last of his strength, he shouted: "God! God, forgive my sins! You are indeed the father of mankind in heaven and the judge on earth. My God. Accept me, my Lord!" He Closing his eyes tightly, he uttered one last groan and one last sigh, and died.

Linko sighed.

Monte Cristo stood there with a look of sadness and joy, looking at the corpse, "The first one."

Lin Ke said: "You can't live without doing your own crimes."

"Yes." Monte Cristo turned. "Our prosecutor is coming soon. I hope he can catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

Lin Ke shuddered, the real culprit - the real culprit was his own son!I really want to see this scene on the trial bench!
