This unexpected disaster knocked down Morcerf in this way, so that when he looked around the court with a puzzled expression, he could hardly say a word. This timid expression can be regarded as both koo’s over-shock and guilt. This attitude has won him some sympathy, because the generous and righteous people always have sympathy when they see that their enemies are unfortunately beyond their hatred. The chairman put the matter to a vote and decided that it should be examined. When the chairman asked the count how much he needed, he would prepare for his defense. Seif found that he was still alive after this terrible blow, and his courage was restored to his lords. He replied that the attack secretly pointed out by the enemy could not be countered by time. I had to reply immediately with a thunderbolt. I was shocked for a while. Oh, I can not only defend myself, but also prove to my noble colleagues that I am ashamed of them with my last drop of blood. These words have created an impression of the defendant’s interests. I demand that the examination should be held as soon as possible. I should give all necessary information to the hospital for reference.
What day do you specify? The chairman asked.
From today on, I will listen to the hospital’s reply to the count.
The chairman rang the bell to see if he agreed to hold the review today.
Agree to a unanimous answer
The House elected a twelve-member committee to examine the evidence review committee of Morcerf. It was decided that it would be necessary to continue in the group meeting room later that day, and Morcerf would ask to leave at the same time every night. He had to search for the evidence that he had been prepared for this storm for a long time. He was alert and expected the possibility of this storm.
Beauchamp told Albert all the things we are telling now in detail, and his story was certainly more angry than ours, because the events were evolving at that time, but now things have changed. Albert was trembling all over, hopeful, angry and ashamed, because he believed in Beauchamp, he knew his father was guilty, and he asked that since he was guilty, he could prove him. Gu Beauchamp hesitated to stop telling.
What about later? asked Albert
After my friend, you gave me a hard job. You must know it.
It’s better to know it from someone else than from you.
Then you should be mentally prepared, because it is time for courage.
Albert reached out and touched his forehead as if to prove his strength, like a man trying to bend his shield and his sword when he was preparing to defend his life. He was already strong because he mistook his excitement for strength.
That night Beauchamp went on to say that Paris was waiting for news. Many people said that the charges could not be breached before your father’s presence. Many people said that he would not sit down with some people. They categorically said that they had seen him leave for Brussels with their own eyes. Others went to the police station to ask him if he had not got his passport. I knew a young aristocrat who was also a censor. I tried my best to beg him to give me an opportunity to listen in. He came to me at seven o’clock. Before the meeting, he asked a page to hide me behind a column. I hoped that I could. The Ministry witnessed all this, and everyone has arrived. Mr. Morcerf came in at the last minute of the clock strike. He looked calm with some documents in his hand, and his clothes were beautiful but not flashy. According to the old soldier’s habit of wearing them all the way to his neck, a good review Committee was formed, which was composed of neutral people. Several of them came to shake hands with him.
Albert felt that his heart was about to explode when he heard these things, but his sadness was mixed with feelings, and he was willing to hug someone who could pay him such respect when his father’s reputation was attacked in this way.
At this moment, a page brought a letter to the President. You can speak. Mr. Morcerf opened the letter as he spoke, so the count defended himself. I can assure you that Albert’s defense is the most eloquent and skillful. Governor Janina wrote to his department at the last minute because he had sent him to the Turkish emperor for a life-and-death negotiation. He took the ring. This is the ring that Governor Ali threatened to ask him to give him as a token. Governor Ali gave him this ring when he came back, no matter day or night. Unfortunately, he said that the negotiation failed and when he came back to defend his benefactor, he was already dead, but the count said that Governor Ali trusted me so much that he entrusted his concubine and his daughter to my care when he died.
Albert was taken aback when he heard these words. He remembered Haide’s life. He remembered what she said when she told about that ring. What effect did this passage have? Albert asked eagerly.
I admit that this remark touched me, and I did. Physical Education Committee member Boshang said that at this moment, the chairman casually read the first few lines of the letter, which attracted his attention. He read those lines and then fixed his eyes on Mr. Morcerf’s Earl Court. He said that you said that Governor Janina had entrusted his wife and daughter to your care. Morcerf replied, but in that case, as in everything else, it was unfortunate that it always chased me. When I went back, Versailles and her daughter Haide had disappeared. Do you know them, my governor? I have seen them for more than 20 times. Do you know if they fell behind? I heard that they were very sad, maybe they were poor and sacrificed me. I was not rich. My life was often in danger. This is my great regret. The chairman frowned imperceptibly. You said that you have heard the Earl of Morcerf explain the Earl of Morcerf. Can you witness what you said? Alas, the Earl of Morcerf replied that people around the governor or people who knew me in the court either died or separated. I believe that among my compatriots, I am still alive after that terrible war. My letter from Ali Tiebeilin has now been presented to you, and the token ring is here. Finally, the best evidence I can provide is that after an anonymous attack, no witness can deny that I am an honest man. A pure soldier gave a low praise. At this time, nothing else happened. Your father will win after the last vote, but the chairman said that you should return it to the Earl’s Court. I think you probably won’t object to hearing the testimony of a witness who is very important.He proved that our colleague came here because of that. Should we read this letter just now, or should we put it aside? Mr. Morcerf turned pale when he grabbed the document, and his hand was clenched into a fist. The Committee decided to listen to the letter. The count didn’t pretend to be meditative. The chairman read, "President’s Pavilion, I can confirm with the examination Committee that Lieutenant General Earl Morcerf had a meal in Epirus Macedonia, and the count’s face was even paler." The chairman glanced at him, and the audience read it in all directions. The chairman continued, I was there when Governor Ali died. I saw his dying situation with my own eyes. I know about the Versailles Heidi knot. I can listen to the instructions of the Committee and ask for a certificate of honor. When this letter reaches you, I have been waiting for this witness in the outer room, or to be more precise, who is this enemy? The count asked him. His tone changed dramatically. We need to know that the chairman replied, is the Committee willing to listen to this witness? Listen, listen, they all said at the same time that the chairman called the valet and asked him who was nobody in the outer hall. A woman and a servant accompanied everyone to look at each other and lead the woman to the door. The chairman said that five minutes later, the valet’s eyes were fixed on the door, including me. Beauchamp said that he was as anxious as everyone else. A woman came in behind the valet, who covered her face with a veil, but judging from her figure and aroma, she was obviously a young and elegant woman. Only then did the chairman ask her to lift the veil and everyone saw that she was dressed in Greek costume and was extremely beautiful.
Ah, Albert said it was her
Who is she?
Haidai
Who told you?
Oh, I see. Go ahead, Beauchamp. You see me calm and strong. We will know the truth soon.
M. de Morcerf looked at the woman in surprise and horror. Beauchamp continued to say that she was going to make him live or die. The Committee members thought the episode was so bizarre that they now took the count’s safety as a secondary matter. The chairman personally offered the young woman a chair, but she didn’t sit on the count. He had already fallen into his chair. Obviously, his legs were no longer alive.
Madam President, you said that you could tell the Committee about the events in Janina and that you witnessed those events with your own eyes. I was indeed the strange woman, with a sweet and depressed tone, which belonged to the orientals. Allow me to say that you must have been very young at that time, but I was only four years old at that time, but I was very close to those things. Nothing would escape me from remembering them. Who are you and how can you be so impressed by them? She replied that I was Haide and Yani. Governor Ali Tiebeilin, his beloved wife Vassili’s daughter, blushed with pride and humility, and suddenly the cheeks of the young woman were filled with her bright eyes. Her speech full of dignity was present, which had a difficult effect on the count. Even if a thunderbolt hit his foot and cracked in front of him, he was even more puzzled. Madam, the chairman bowed very respectfully and said, Allow me to ask a question. This is the last question. Can you prove the truth of what you are saying now? Can I ask Gehaide to touch it from the bottom of her veil? Here is my birth certificate, which was written by my father personally and signed by his senior officials. I was baptized because my father agreed that I believe my mother’s religion. This baptism certificate was signed by Archbishop Epirus of Macedonia. Last but not least, the French officer sold me and my mother to the Armenian slave trader Elcober. The French officer sold his wife and daughter in his humiliation by the Turkish government. He won 400,000 francs for some of them. Listen to this thrilling condemnation in a terrible silence. The count’s cheeks are blue and white. His eyes are full of blood.Anger is even more terrible. She wrote the deed of sale in Arabic to the chairman. Among these documents, some were probably written in Arabic, Roman or Turkish because the interpreter of the House of Representatives had been called. A member of Parliament had studied Arabic in the Great Egyptian War, and he was watching the interpreter read aloud.
I, a slave merchant in El Cobo, the emperor Princess Pina admitted that the acting emperor paid a ransom for an 11-year-old Christian slave from the noble Count of Monte Cristo to to an emerald worth 2,000 bags of money. The slave’s name was Haide, the daughter of Vassili, the favorite concubine of Lord Alitiebeilin, the governor of Janina. She was sold to me by her mother seven years ago, but her mother died when she arrived in Constantinople. Pay a thousand bags of coins on behalf of the emperor. It was signed in 1247 when the emperor approved Constantinople. All the approval procedures should be completed by the seller, and the seal of the emperor should be stamped next to the signature of the slave trader. After reading this document, the conference room fell into a terrible silence. His eyes, which seemed to be consciously staring at Haide, have turned into a ball of fire and blood. Madam President said that we could investigate with the Count of Monte Cristo. I believe he is in Paris now, Gehaide replied. My second-born father, the Count of Monte Cristo, went to Normandy three days ago. Who suggested this step? Of course, I am deeply grateful to you for this step, and it is very natural for your unfortunate experience. Gehaide replied that this step is my respect. I am sad and urged me to believe in the emperor and forgive me. Although I am a Christian, I always want revenge from my famous English father. Since I came to France and learned that the traitor lived in Paris, I have always been careful to observe that I live in seclusion in my noble protector’s house.Recalling my life, the Count of Monte Cristo took good care of me like a father. I didn’t know anything about the outside world. Although I watched all this in my bedroom, for example, when I watched other people’s lives, I knew what happened in the aristocratic courtyard this morning and what was going to happen tonight, so I wrote the letter. So the chairman said that the Count of Monte Cristo didn’t know anything about your current trip. Did he know that I was afraid that he would disapprove of everything I was doing? But today was the happiest day for me. The girl’s fiery eyes stared at the sky and continued to say today.
In this issue, the count never said a word. His colleagues looked at him and felt a little pity for his beautiful scenery that was broken by a woman’s fragrance. The insidious wrinkles on his face outlined his pain. The chairman of the Morcerf Pavilion said, do you know this lady? Is she the daughter of Janina Governor Ali Tiebeilin? No, Morcerf said that he was struggling. This was a despicable plot designed by my enemy. Haide looked at the door as if expecting a person to come in. At this moment, he quickly turned to see the count there. She screamed in horror that you don’t know me. She said, Hum, it’s a good thing I still know you. You are Fernand Montague, the French officer who commanded my noble father’s army. You sold Fort Janina. You were ordered to go to Constantinople. The Turkish emperor negotiated with you about the life and death of your benefactor, and brought back a fake pardon. You defrauded the governor’s ring to get the letter from Selim. You assassinated Selim. You sold us, my mother, and I sold it to the slave dealer Elcober. The murderer is still stained with your main blood on your forehead. Look at you, everyone, these words have produced great persuasive power. Every pair of eyes are staring at the earl’s forehead, and he has wiped it with his hand, as if he felt that Ali’s blood was still stuck on his face. Do you really think that Mr. Morcerf is the officer Fernand Montague? I do know Haide. My mother once told me that you came here because you loved your father, and you can become a queen. Look carefully at that man. You became a slave. He picked your father’s head at the tip of your gun. He sold us. He gave us to that slave.His slave trader, Al Cobb Jinyang, fell into the scarred hand piece by piece. Do I know him? Now let him talk about how he can say that he doesn’t know me. Every word is inserted into Morcerf’s heart like a dagger, and every word destroys part of his energy. When she said the last sentence, he hurriedly hid his hand in his heart. His hand was really scarred and his face fell back to his seat in despair. This scene changed the scene for the count. The chairman of Earl Court of Morcerf said, Are you overwhelmed? Answer. The court is big, public and private, and has the highest power, just like the imperial court. The court must not trample on the enemy without giving you a chance to resist. Do you want to continue the investigation? Do you want to send two MPs to Janina to say? Morcerf didn’t answer, so the MPs looked at each other with a frightened expression. They knew that the earl’s violent temper must be a fatal blow to deprive him of his courage to resist. Their silence was like a precursor to a storm, and then it woke up like a thunderbolt. Alas, Chairman. When asked what you decide, I have nothing to say to the count. Then, did Ali Tiebeilin’s daughter tell the truth? The chairman said that it seems that she is a witness. Do you dare to say more crimes? Did you really commit those crimes? The count looked around. His desperate expression was that the tiger would be soft-hearted when he saw it, but he couldn’t move his judge. So he looked up at the ceiling, but immediately returned to that look as if he was afraid that the roof would crack. He painfully saw another court called Emperor, and he hurriedly tore the dress that seemed to suffocate him. It was like a tragedy.Ladies and gentlemen, when silence was restored in the room, the chairman said that the Earl Court of Morcerf had committed the crime of treason, atrocities and persecution. The members of the examination Committee replied in unison
Haide waited until the end. When she heard the verdict, she didn’t show great joy or pity. Then she veiled her face, bowed solemnly to the members and left the meeting with solemn steps like a goddess.
Chapter 87 provocation
At this moment, Beauchamp went on to say that I left the conference hall in silence and darkness, so no one saw my valet waiting for me at the door of the room. He led me through the corridor to a secret door leading to Fanqila Road. I left me with a feeling of sadness and sadness. Forgive me, Albert. You are that noble girl. Her parents’ revenge is Albert. No matter where the hand came from, I want to say that although it came from an enemy, that enemy must have acted as the emperor.
Albert held his head in his hands. He raised his blushing and tearful face and grabbed Beauchamp’s arm. My friend said that my life is over. I can’t tell you calmly that this is retribution. I must find out who persecuted me in this way. When I find him, it’s not him who killed me or I killed him. I will rely on your friendship to help me finish it. Beauchamp is fake. Your contempt for me has not driven away our friendship.
Why don’t you despise my friend’s misfortune? It’s a good thing that your father is responsible for it. The era full of public prejudice has passed. Looking back on your life, Albert, your life or every Lebanon will bring more pure hope to your career. No, Albert, take my advice. You are young and rich. Leave France and change your taste when you seek excitement here. Great Babylon will soon be forgotten. You will marry a Russian princess as a bride in three or four years, and no one will see what happened yesterday as more serious than what happened sixteen years ago.
Thank you, my dear Beauchamp. Thank you for your kindness in wanting me to give up this idea, but I can’t do it. I have already told you what I intend to do. It may be a good thing to say that it is my determination. You know that I can’t take the same attitude as you in this matter. In your opinion, it is purely an act of God. In my opinion, it is far from that simple. I think it is a good thing that the emperor and this matter have endured pain this month, so that I can not touch the object of punishing evil and can touch it. I can see people seeking revenge again. Now I say again, Beauchamp, I am willing to return to the material world. If you still say that we are still friends, help me find the boxer.
That’s all right. Beauchamp said that if you must pull me back to reality, I’ll give up. If you must investigate your enemy, I’ll help you. This matter is almost the same to my reputation.
Well, well, you know Beauchamp, let’s search at once. Every moment of delay seems to me like a long time when the slander has not been punished. He may hope that he will not be punished, but my reputation will be protected. If he thinks like that, he is deceiving himself.
Well, listen to me, Morcerf.
Ah, Beauchamp, I think you’ve lost that. You’ve brought me back to life.
I’m not saying that it’s really like that, but it’s less than a light in the night, along which we may achieve our goal.
Tell me, I’m tired of waiting.
Well, I’ll tell you what I thought I would say to you when I came back from Janina.
go ahead
When I got there, of course, I first went to the local big banker to investigate. Even before I knew your father’s name, he said, ah, I guess, how did you guess when you came? Because two weeks ago, someone asked me the same question. Who is a banker in Paris? His name is Danglars.
He Albert shouted that he really hated my father for a long time. He was unwilling to see Count de Morcerf being a member of the House of Lords, and this marriage broke down for no reason. Everything was right.
Investigate Albert, but don’t get angry for no reason. Investigate whether it is true or not.
Oh, it’s true, it’s false, it’s true, the young man shouted. He will repay me for all the pain I endured.
Be careful of Morcerf, he is an old man.
I respect his age as much as he respects my family. If he hates my father, why doesn’t he kill my father? Oh, he is afraid to face someone.
I’m not blaming you, Albert. I’m telling you not to be emotional, but to be careful.
Oh, I’m not afraid, and you’re going to Beauchamp with me. Serious things should be done in front of witnesses. Is it a crime to pretend that Mr. Danglars is dead today? Hey, Beauchamp, I’m going to have a solemn funeral to protect my reputation.
Now that you have made up your mind, Albert should carry it out at once. Do you want to go to M. Danglars at once? Let’s go.
