[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

"Dear Sidney, do you think you owe me a favor?" Duke Louis said, clasping his hands and playing with his fingers.

"This has nothing to do with our family." Yang Yi said, in fact, Duke Louis owed him a favor. Without his bezoar, with the current medical technology, Duke Louis would not be able to recover at all.

Seeing Yang Yi's disdainful expression, Duke Louis laughed and said, "Look at your expression, you seem to be saying 'you are talking nonsense, I don't owe you anything', right? "

"I didn't think about anything, and I didn't say anything. You should go to bed, Louis, it's late, your body can't bear the tiredness." Yang Yi yawned and said, he felt tired, now It's past midnight.

"You have to answer my question first, Sidney, what was in the glass of water you gave me to drink, although the doctor's bloodletting did make me feel a lot better, but before that, after drinking After the glass of water you gave me, I already feel better. So, what did you put in that glass of water?" Duke Louis asked, staring at Yang Yi's research.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Go to sleep, Louis. I hope everything will be fine when I wake up tomorrow morning." Yang Yi said.

"Since you wish so much." Duke Louis said, then closed his eyes.

Old Soko, the hotel owner, shrank behind the counter and shivered in fright. He was not so afraid of death. After all, he had lived for more than 60 years and had seen dozens of dead people. He had even seen beheadings before. , so he was not at all afraid of the dead body of the murdered Mr. Baheil Bey.What scares old Soko is the huge impact this murder will have on him. Everyone in Somur will talk about a dead person in his hotel after dinner, and they will tell every passing guest This matter, and those guests who know this matter, will no longer want to live in his hotel, even if his hotel is the only hotel in Saumur City, but if you want to live in Saumur City, as long as you have francs It can be done.And the drunkards would no longer dare to come to his hotel to drink, for there were three taverns in Saumur, though there was only one inn, and they would always find a place to drink.

Old Soko could almost foresee his own dismal business in the future, and he would no longer be able to make much money.So old Soko almost hated the murderer who committed the murder. Before the police officer asked him, he had gone through the list of all suspicious people in his mind, and finally he identified the murderer as Charles Ge Langtai, because before Charles arrived at the hotel, Mr. Baheil Bey just asked the maid for a supper, and after Charles left, Mr. Bahele Bey died.

Mr. Renault, the police officer, went downstairs after a careful inspection of the deceased’s room. He often came to Old Soko’s place to drink, so he was very familiar with Old Soko. Said: "Old Soko, you should pour yourself a glass of wine and drink, it will make you better."

"No, it's never going to get better, no, this hotel has been run by my grandfather until today, he has a clean and good reputation, and now it's all ruined, ruined!" Old Soko waved his hands and shouted excitedly.

Mr. Renault ignored him, and took out a bottle of wine from behind the bar on his own, then found a somewhat greasy quilt and poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp and said: "Old Soko, say Did any suspicious people come here today? None of Mr. Bay’s belongings have been tampered with, and all his money is still there, so I think this is a vendetta. So think about it, some people have quarreled with Mr. Bay these days ever?"

"Don't think about it, I already know who the criminal is. It's Charles Grandet. He came to find Mr. Bay before, and then he left, and then Mr. Bay died. It was him, he must have killed him. People!" Old Soko roared loudly.

The residents of Saumur City gathered around the hotel door heard what old Soko said, and they all covered their mouths in surprise, but everyone didn't really believe what old Soko said, because Charles Grandet looked so decent How could such a person kill someone!

At this time, Mr. Grandet and Mrs. Grandet had squeezed over. Although they were standing a little far away from the hotel, Old Soko's roar was too loud, so they heard him clearly.People around who recognized the Grandet couple looked at them suspiciously, Mr. Grandet immediately said: "Charles went to the Duke's ball today, how could he have time to kill people!"

Mrs. Grandet was so frightened that she was about to collapse on the ground. She had never encountered such a big thing in her life. She hadn't even heard the word murder before that. She felt that everything in front of her was spinning. , and then instantly turned into darkness.

"Madam, ma'am!" Mrs. Grandet suddenly fainted on the ground. Mr. Grandet was startled, and he called out loudly to Nanon who was standing not far away, "Nanon, Nanon, Come and help your wife up."

"Oh, God, what's the matter, Madame?" Nanon was also taken aback. She hurriedly pushed away the people around her and ran over, trying to pull Mrs. Grandet up from the ground, but she was too flustered. He couldn't use his great strength at all, and he didn't pull a little bit after pulling for a long time.

"You idiot, haven't you eaten your dinner? Pull up my wife quickly, she will catch cold lying on the ground." Mr. Grandet scolded, in fact, his hands and feet were a little limp from the fright.

Everyone at the hotel is trying to rescue Mrs. Grandet, but Eugenie in Grandet's house has easily believed Charles' lies.Charles told Eugenie that Basil Bey was his father's creditor, and that he had come to Saumur in order to recover the debt, and had threatened Charles to steal Mr. Grandet's property to pay the debt a few days ago. , while Charles has been perfunctory him, planning to pay back the money slowly after he gets his salary after working in the Duke's Mansion.But the other party couldn't wait any longer. He asked Charles to meet at the hotel tonight. Charles said that he thought Bahele Bey just wanted to have a good talk with him. Yan Buhe took a knife to hurt him, and when the two were fighting, Charles accidentally killed Bahele Bey.

This was really a lie full of loopholes, but Eugenie believed it completely, and began to complain that the dead Baheil Bey killed Shire, who would face a tragic fate in the future.

"Cousin, since you already know the truth, no matter what happens to me in the future, at least one person knows that I am innocent. Now, I have to go, or I will be arrested by them and tortured. Death sentence." Charles said, "I will definitely not have a better life in the future, I have no money, but at least I am alive. Cousin, please don't worry about me."

"How can I not be worried, Charles, why don't you tell the police officer the truth, you are innocent," Eugenie cried.

"Who would believe me, it was only the two of us in the room. No matter what I say, people will only believe what they see, that is, I killed the man, and they only need to find someone responsible for it Just don't care about anything, who will care about the life and death of this little person with no status!" Charles said.

"Why at all has this happened!" cried Eugenie, weeping.

"I'm leaving my cousin." Charles glanced at Eugenie again, and said with a look of reluctance.

"No, don't go, you have to bring some money, Charles, you have to bring some money!" Eugenie said, and then hurried back to her room with her skirt in hand, and took her more than 100 francs The savings went to Charles.

Charles felt disgusted when he saw the money. What can more than 100 francs do? The suit on his body was more than [-] francs, but he still put the money bag back into Eugenie's with a very touched face. In his arms, he said: "Cousin, Eugenie, I can't take your money, you believe me, I will live well. When I avoid those who want to arrest me, I will find a remote I will live the most stable life in a small village in the most distant place. After decades, when no one remembers what happened tonight, I will come to see you. I will definitely come to see you. Look at mine love!"

"Oh, Charles!" Eugenie was moved. She threw away all her restraint and hugged Charles, and gave him a passionate kiss. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she firmly addressed Charles. Er said: "Charles, take me away, let us find the place you mentioned together, let us live together in such a village in the future. Take me away!"

"Eugenie, I love you so much." Charles hugged Eugenie back, his plan was half successful, he just made up his mind to take Eugenie away, and then left a letter Said the two of them eloped so people wouldn't make too much of him about the murder.

"I love you too, Charles, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

"Me too, Eugenie. But I can't take you away. Even with your more than 100 francs, we can't live for a few days. It's only enough for us to buy black bread for a few months, but Winter is coming, we need thick clothes and warm food, I can endure all the cold and hunger, but I can't bear to let you suffer with me." Charles said, he didn't have much money on him now, and he had to buy from Ou Ye Let me get some here, otherwise he will really become a beggar in the future.

"If it's just money, we have it." Eugenie said cruelly. She knew M. Grandet's habit of hiding money. Mr. Langtai took them close to him, but they couldn't get in.But Mr. Grandet has the habit of counting gold coins before going to bed at night, so there is always a bag of gold coins, at least a thousand, in his bedroom cabinet. It can be split.

"Where did you get the money?" Charles asked eagerly.

"It's in the cupboard in my father's room. Wait a minute, I'll get the ax!" said Eugenie, and running downstairs, she found the ax for chopping wood in the kitchen.

Mr. Grandet went out in a hurry and did not close the door, so the two of them entered his room smoothly. Eugenie pointed out the small cabinet where the gold coins were kept, and Charles asked her to go back to her room to pack her clothes. , while he split the lock on the cabinet without blinking an eye, and took out a heavy bag containing gold coins. He roughly padded it, and there were at least a thousand gold coins there.

After Eugenie packed her clothes, Charles had already written the letter to Mr. Grandet and Mrs. Grandet. He put the letter on the table in the main room, and then left the Grandet house with Eugenie .

Yang Yi lay on the roof of Grandet's house and watched Charles and Eugenie disappear into the night. He sighed helplessly. He just came back to check on the situation at home. big drama.Eugenie's behavior also made Yang Yi feel a little disappointed for Mr. Grandet. In the original book, Eugenie only gave Charles her own money, but here she helped Charles steal her father's money. The big bag of gold coins is enough for the poor and the big family to live for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.

After sighing, Yang Yi quietly slipped back to the Duke's mansion, but he made up his mind to go home early tomorrow, otherwise he was really worried that Mr. Grandet would be pissed to death when he found out what his daughter had done.
