Count of Monte Cristo

Heidi thought that this matter was a foregone conclusion, but who knew that the court sent someone to deliver the leaflet the next day.Invite the Count of Monte Cristo to the court.

How is this going?Everyone was puzzled.

The court session was at ten o'clock in the morning, and the Count of Monte Cristo came to the court early. Lin Ke and Heidi also came and sat in the auditorium.

There are a lot of people here today, those who know the Count of Monte Cristo in Paris, those who are interested in him, and the congressman who tried Fernand yesterday also came, of course Danglars and his wife also came, and there are many others People who have interacted with them, they are all guessing what happened.Today's chief justice is Villefort. Although so many tragedies have happened in his family, he still treats his work meticulously.

Lin Ke was also beating drums in his heart, but the face of Monte Cristo on the witness stand was calm, and Lin Ke gradually calmed down.When the time came, Villefort came and sat down on the bench.

Three beeps.

Trial.

"Your Excellency is the Count of Monte Cristo."

"Yes."

"Do you know why you were summoned to court today?"

"I don't know."

"Ahem... Count Morcerf is invited."

There was a commotion in the auditorium, and many people talked about it. Many people have heard of yesterday's incident. The Count of Morcerf went crazy and returned home. He did not plead guilty. .So he is the plaintiff today?

"I'm Demarcerf, today I'm here to expose the true identity of a person staring at him."

"Please explain in detail," said Villefort.

"Yes." Fernan said, "this man is not a count at all, this man is an adventurer dressed in gold, silver and jewels, in Paris he is the Count of Monte Cristo, in Italy he is Sinbad the Sailor, in Marseilles He is a banker. I don’t know what he calls himself in Malta. He has thousands of names and wealth beyond count, but who knows where he came from? He stole the identity, title, wealth and fame of the earl , he was originally a smuggler!" As soon as these words came out, the entire court was in an uproar.

"Silence!" Villefort knocked on the table, "Your Excellency, what do you think of Count Morcerf's accusation?"

"I think it's a rumor, and His Excellency the Earl was deceived by the rumor." Monte Cristo looked at Fernand with suppressed anger, arrogant contempt and tolerant solemnity.

Montlain was excited when he heard the sailor Sinbad, and his heart of gratitude was boiling. He stared at Monte Cristo with piercing eyes, and his gratitude was on the verge of bursting.

Villefort said to Fernand: "Do you have proof?"

"I have." Fernand said, he took out the document and handed it in, "This is the testimony of the sailor on the Maiden. I don't think the Count of Monte Cristo will forget the Maiden?"

Lin Ke's heart suddenly beat fast.

"What can this prove?" Monte Cristo sneered, "This kind of document is easy to produce, Your Excellency the Earl." What's the point of forging documents, most of the people here understand these reasons.

Sure enough, Villefort also understood this truth. He asked: "Is there any other evidence?"

"Yes," Morcerf said confidently, "I have evidence."

Everyone craned their necks and looked out the door, waiting for his so-called witness to enter.

Lin Ke noticed the smile on Edmund's face, and knew that he had a plan in mind.If it is confirmed that Edmund is a smuggler, then his property can be confiscated, hehe...the fighting power of this group of people.

Everyone waited for a long time, but no one was seen.Fernan's complexion was not good-looking, and he became paler and paler.

Ten minutes passed and the witnesses were nowhere to be seen.

Said Monte Cristo, "The Count of Morcerf is not angry with me for yesterday's shock?"

Morcerf wiped the cold sweat off his brow, "No."

"My lord count," said Villefort, "these evidences do not prove the identity of the Monte Cristo smuggler. Do you have any other evidence?"

"No... no more."

"I have," said Monte Cristo.

Villefort and everyone were stunned, and Fernand was in shock.

"Your Excellency the Earl slandered me like this, I must respond for my honor and dignity! As far as I know, the result of the trial in the House of Representatives has come out yesterday. You may not understand that the noble Earl of Morcerf you think What kind of person is he?" He looked around at the crowd, and put on a cold and disdainful expression, "This Earl not only slandered my honor and tried to take my property, but he also did even more egregious things. News in the papers, that he betrayed his master for his property, that he was a French citizen, and that he went to the English. His ancestry was Spanish, and that he would take part in the war against the Spaniards. Thanks to Ali, he actually betrayed and killed Ali. This is a member of the nobles, God, such a hypocrite can be compared with you." This series of accusations hit Fernand, who could hardly stand up, openly When the occasion slapped his face, many people looked at him differently, with disdain and contempt moving on him.He can no longer gain a foothold in Paris.

"I heard that the parliament has sentenced him to be drunk, and his status as a member of the parliament and title can no longer be kept."

"If I had already gone to God to beg for forgiveness, why should I slander others? Could slandering others cover up his crimes?"

"Yes."

"I heard that his son, Viscount Morcerf, is not bad."

"Come on, with this father, I think he is also ruined."

"I heard that there was a duel last night in the Place de Champs-lys, between the Viscount de Morcerf and the Count of Monte Cristo."

"Really? I haven't heard the news."

"It's true, my friend is a witness."

"What's the result?"

"The result is very strange. They did not fight at all. The Viscount bowed to the Count of Monte Cristo."

"They reconciled?"

"No, the Count of Monte Cristo said that Mr. Viscount is a brave man, many times stronger, braver and upright than his father, and he admires him very much."

"I don't believe what you said. Do you know what kind of good son a father like Morcerf can teach? Baron Danglars has already said that he will not associate with the Earl of Morcerf's family."

"I heard that their sons and daughters were once engaged."

"Heh...it's over long ago."

"Oh, he's all over, he's not welcome in Paris."

Fernand felt pain in his heart, wishing he could immediately draw his gun and kill Monte Cristo in front of him!

Seeing that the atmosphere is intensifying, it is more serious and intense than the atmosphere in the House yesterday. Some people in the auditorium are almost rushing down to attack Fernan. The language is getting more intense and the eyes are more vicious. It seems that Fernan has also offended a lot. people.

Villefort had to maintain order, "Quiet! Be quiet, please."

At this time, someone came forward and said a few words to Villefort, and Villefort stood up immediately, "I'm sorry, everyone, I have something to do at home, I have to go first, this matter will be heard in court the next day." After speaking, he left in a hurry. He looked flustered and extremely sad.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but Judge Villefort had never been so frightened that he even left the court in a hurry.

Fernand and Monte Cristo were the last to leave. At that time, the entire courtroom was empty, with only three people, and Lin Ke stood behind Monte Cristo.

Fernand said: "My son lost to you, but I won't." Albert did not go home last night. He has not seen his son for two days, but he believes that his son will definitely fight for him. He took revenge, but unexpectedly lost. Now he has to fight Monte Cristo in person. If he dies, he can redeem his reputation. The world always regards the winner of a duel as a hero.If he loses, he can get sympathy even if he loses. Anyway, he can no longer gain a foothold in Paris, so he might as well try hard.Fernand made up his mind. He hated him very much, but he still had doubts about the hatred in his heart. He didn't understand why Monte Cristo hated him so much and hit him. He looked carefully at Monte Cristo's face and shook his head.I don't know Monte Cristo, what is the reason for doing this?

"Your son is worthy of your pride. As for you, I will not fight you because you are not worthy."

Fernand drew out his gun and pointed at Monte Cristo. Monte Cristo did not retreat. Lin Ke behind him also drew out his gun and pointed at Fernand.

"You must be wondering why I targeted you like this. Your enemy tried every means to defeat you, but you were able to avoid it, but you couldn't avoid it this time, because God has abandoned you."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's have a duel."

"I said you were unworthy, because you were the little Fernand who deserted before the Battle of Waterloo, the Lieutenant Fernand who served as a guide and spy for the French army in Spain. And these Fernands united , won’t you become Lieutenant General Morcerf, a member of the French House of Peers?”

"Yes." Fernand yelled, "You bastard! Does what I do have anything to do with you? Are you God, you want to help them!"

"Of course I'm not God," said Edmond, whose eyes seemed to burn with a destructive flame. "Fernand! Of my thousands of names, I can overwhelm you by telling you just one! You have guessed it by now, or rather, you remember it, don't you? Because I In spite of all my cares and pains, I show you today a face, rejuvenated by the joy of vengeance, which you must have dreamed of often since you married Mercedes, my betrothed. The French did not avenge you a traitor, the Spaniards did not shoot you a traitor, and Ali, who was dead, did not punish you a traitor. But I, betrayed, killed, and buried, have long been condemned by God Mercy rescued me from the grave to punish you. God sent me for vengeance and here I am.!"

With his head thrown back and his gaze fixed, Fernan leaned back against the wall, and slipped tightly against the wall to the door. As he backed out of the door, he uttered a mournful, mournful, and mournful cry: "Edmond -Dantes!" Then he rushed out.

Edmund's anger gradually died down, and sadness came to his face.

Lin Ke hugged him from behind, "Let's go home."

Edmund turned around and hugged him, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Lin Ke looked at the ceiling. Last night, Albert and Countess Marcelf came to visit together. They thought they were here to ask questions. Unexpectedly, Mercedes directly revealed the purpose of their visit. She recognized Edmond's Edmond also told the truth about his 14 years in prison, and Mercedes' kindness, sincerity and motherhood made her tell Albert the truth.Shocked and guilty, Albert also told them about his father and Jack's plan.They have already found several sailors from the Maiden, some robbers who traveled to and from the island of Monte Cristo, and some documents. More importantly, the Marquis George will also come to the court to testify that Edmond is a smuggler!After Edmund heard this, he immediately sent someone to make arrangements. Several of them worked all night, and finally made it impossible for the witnesses to testify in court.As for Steven, he didn't intend to appear in court at all, he just wanted to scare them.Jack's plan fell through, and I heard that he had another move, but that's for the next time.

The mothers, Mercetas and Albert, were so sad that they had decided to leave Paris.Edmund did not stop him, but sent a letter to Albert before coming to court today.

After Edmund heard this, he immediately sent someone to make arrangements. Several of them worked all night, and finally made it impossible for the witnesses to testify in court.As for Steven, he didn't intend to appear in court at all, he just wanted to scare them.Jack's plan fell through, and I heard that he had another move, but that's for the next time.

"He has betrayed all relatives, Edmund." Lin Ke repeated, "Let's go home."

Edmund sneered, "He deserved it."

An hour later, when they returned home, they heard that Count Morcerf had committed suicide.

When Edmund heard the news, he didn't know whether the expression on his face was sadness or relief.

He murmured: "The second one."

Heidi's expression was exactly the same as his. Lin Ke knew that she thought of Albert. There was a parental hatred between the two children, and he didn't know how to make up for the rift in his heart.Heidi was also in a melancholy mood. Her parents' revenge had been avenged, but there was no way between her and Albert.
