That is to say, no matter what doubts Morrel has, this bitter excuse has been completely eliminated. Then, M. Villefort, can you give me any advice and pity Dantè s for coming back soon? He asked
Ask a police minister.
Oh, I know what that means. The minister gets 200 wishes every day, but he can’t read three.
That’s true, but I signed it and submitted it. I hope he will read it
Would you like to deliver it?
I am very willing that Dantè s was guilty at that time, but now he is guilty. It is also my responsibility to convict him at that time and now he is regained.
In this way, Villefort avoided the danger of an investigation, and once he was investigated, he would be finished. Although this may not be a fact, it is possible.
But how can I tell the minister?
Come here, said Villefort, giving his seat to Morrel. I said you write it.
Is it really up to your heart to do it?
Of course, it’s out of season. We’ve been surfing too much.
Think about that poor young man still waiting there, suffering there, maybe desperate there
Villefort shuddered at the thought of the prisoner cursing him in that dark and silent cell, but he still refused to give in. Villefort’s ambition weighed heavily on Dantè s and must be destroyed.
Villefort dictated a beautifully worded letter, in which he exaggerated Dantè s patriotism and contribution to the Napoleonic Party, and Dantè s became the most active part of Napoleon’s comeback. It is speculated that the minister will release him as soon as he sees this letter. Villefort wrote it and recited it.
Yes, he said, I’ll take care of the rest
Would you like it delivered soon?
Send it today
Approved by you
It is my pleasure to prove your wish, said Villefort, and he sat down and signed the letter at the end.
Is there anything else to do? asked morrel
Go and wait, villefort replied. I’ll take care of everything
This guarantee was full of hope, so Morrel said goodbye to Villefort and hurried to tell old Dantè s that he would see his son soon.
Villefort, however, did not keep his promise to send the letter to Paris, but carefully kept the letter that now seems to save Dantè s, but the future is extremely dangerous, waiting for the seemingly impossible thing to happen again.
In this way, dantes is still a prisoner buried in the depths of the dungeon, and he can’t hear the news of the collapse of Louis X. When the empire overthrew, it was even more terrible.
However, Villefort kept an alert eye on all alert ears and listened to everything. After Napoleon’s reset, Morrel pleaded twice, but Villefort coaxed him away. In the end, the Waterloo War broke out and Morrel stopped coming. He did everything he could. At this time, the new attempt was futile and likely to harm himself.
Louis X regained the throne in Marseille, which caused Villefort to feel guilty. There were too many memories. He begged and was granted the post of prosecutor in Toulouse. Two weeks later, he married Renee, and his father-in-law was more prominent in the court than before. This means that after the Battle of Waterloo on the 100 th day, why would Don Tess still be in prison? It seems that the emperor has forgotten him, but people have not forgotten him.
Danglars knew very well how severe the blow he had given Dantè s was. He blamed it as an act of God, like a man with a guilty conscience but a wise man. When Napoleon returned to Paris, Danglars was so afraid that Dantè s would come for revenge at any time, so he told Mr. Morel his hope for the sea and got a letter of introduction to introduce him to a Spanish businessman who went there at the end of March. That was the eleventh day after Napoleon returned. He left Marseilles and went to Madrid. He hasn’t heard from him since.
Fernand knew that Dantè s had disappeared from his eyes, but he didn’t know anything else. He didn’t bother to ask what happened to Dantè s when his rival in love was not in this issue. When he was constantly thinking hard, he thought of making up a story to deceive Mercedes and wanted to move or forcibly take her away. So he often sat at the top of Frodo Bay and looked at the Catalan village in Marseilles from there. He was watching a handsome young man, and now the man in front of him was his revenge. Fernand was determined that he would shoot Dantè s and then kill her, but he was wrong.
At this time, the empire called on France to take up arms for the last time, and all the men rushed to listen to them. The emperor called on Fernand and the others to leave Marseille together, but in their hearts, they were afraid that his enemies would come back during his absence and get married with Mercedes. If Geoffre Nando really wanted to kill, he should have done so when he left Mercedes. His sympathy for her misfortune all worked. Mercedes has always loved Fernand as a brother and sister, and now this friendship has added a passion.
Brother, when she hung her bag on his shoulder, she said that you should be careful, because if you leave me forever, I will be alone in this world. These words injected a glimmer of hope into Fernand’s heart. If Dantè s doesn’t come back, Mercedes may be him one day.
Now Mercedes is left alone to face this desolation and peace, and she has never looked at the sea. She is in tears every day. When people see her, they keep wandering around the small village where Catalans live. When they see her, they see her staring at Marseilles motionless like a stone statue, and sometimes they see her sitting on the beach listening to the eternal moaning of the sea with her sorrow. She often asks whether she should be thrown into the abyss of the sea. Perhaps it is better to endure this anxious waiting.
It was not that she lacked the courage to do so, but that her religious concept helped her and saved her life.
Caderousse, like Fernand, was drafted into the army, but because he was married and how old Biffle was sent to the frontier, old Dantè s always relied on hope to support Napoleon, and all his hopes were dashed. Almost five months after his son was separated, it can be said that he took his last breath in Mercedes’ arms at the moment when his son was arrested. Mr. Morrel did not pay for his funeral, but also paid off some small debts borrowed by the poor old man before his death.
It doesn’t need compassion, but it also needs courage. A Napoleon who is as dangerous as Dantè s, that is, if you help his dying father, will be vilified as a crime.
Chapter 14 Two Prisoners
About a year after Louis X’s reset, the prison inspector came to Fort Yves for an inspection. Dantè s heard the noise of preparing for the inspector from his deep dungeon. In the dungeon, he was used to hearing spiders weaving water droplets condensed on the top of the dungeon in the silence of the night, so he could hear it. He guessed that something unusual had happened to those people who lived in the reason. He had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, which made him look at himself as a dead man.
The inspector inspected several prisoners in the single cell dungeon of the prison in turn because of their good behavior or stupidity. The inspector asked them what food they wanted, but they all replied that the food was too bad and demanded recovery. The inspector asked them what else they didn’t want. They shook their heads. What else could they ask for? The inspector smiled and turned to the warden and said, I really don’t know why I want these inspections. If you meet a prisoner, you will see the body. The prisoner always says the same thing: What food is bad? Do you want another prisoner?
Dangerous prisoners are crazy. The prisoners are all in the dungeon.
Let’s go and see the inspector. He said with a tired look, I have to finish me. Let’s go.
Wait a minute. Let’s send two soldiers to the warden and tell him that the prisoners are impatient. If you want to be sentenced to death, you will go to extremes in vain. Then you may become a sacrifice.
All necessary precautions must be taken, the inspector said
So I called in two soldiers, and they walked along a dirty, wet and dark staircase. They were already breathing hard through these places.
Oh, the inspector stopped halfway and said, who the hell lives in this place
