Paris Police.

The officers who came and went looked nervous, and the invisible pressure blocked their chests, making people breathless.

At this time, there was a sense of rumor throughout the police station, and they increased their patrols on the streets, and posted notices everywhere that Blanqui was wanted as a revolutionary.

In the eyes of the Paris police hierarchy, the man on this blacklist is a Schrödinger bomb roaming Paris, and it is not known that it will explode in Fontainebleau or the Tuileries Palace.

In the office of the police station, two grim-faced men sit on a baroque-style flashy sofa, staring at each other in silence. There was a report on the table between the two of them, but the contents of the report made the hearts of the two people present sink to the bottom.

With a beard wrapped around his oval face and a receding hairline was Baron Haussmann, the governor of the Seine, who rarely visited the police except in a political situation that endangered the safety of Paris. Another rugged-looking man was General Espinas, the Minister of Public Security, who was also the chief of the Paris police. There is only one reason why the two sit face to face and communicate.

Blanqui is back.

Revolutionary propaganda, which had been silenced for a while, showed signs of a resurgence.

"The case of fifteen, the Society of Friends of the People, the two uprisings of the workers of Lyon, the case of the gunpowder conspiracy of the family society, the riots in the city of Tours. The guest on the blacklist can be said to have a lot of criminal records, even if anyone sees it, they will feel shocked. And such a dangerous person actually distributed revolutionary leaflets in Paris and reorganized the secret society. IMHO, who got such dangerous revolutionaries out of prison in the first place? ”

Baron Haussmann's tone was extremely unfriendly, and the originally busy municipal renovation of Paris was nearing the end, but he didn't expect such an accident to suddenly appear, which made him feel very annoyed.

"The most important thing now is to get this man out of Paris, execute him in secret, put him back in prison, and put the turmoil down as quickly as possible, and not let His Majesty know about it."

General Espinas's Adam's apple rolled for a moment, and he said slowly, "The assassination of Orsini two years ago, presumably His Excellency Osman hasn't forgotten it, right?" ”

Osman was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"How could I possibly forget."

On January 14, 1858, Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie traveled by carriage to the Paris Opera. The Italian young Orsini threw three bombs at the carriage, injuring 156 people, while Napoleon III was left intact by the carriage's protection. Orsini was immediately arrested and immediately executed.

In the aftermath of the assassination, the former chief of the Paris police, Pierte, was dismissed, and a total of four high-ranking officials and 25 district chiefs were dismissed. And began to arrest the "most dangerous elements".

General Espinas had replaced Pietri, so he remembered very well the gloomy look in His Majesty Napoleon's eyes after he had escaped death, and the great expulsion and execution.

"If none of us want to go through the horror of two years ago, we'd better get this unstable bomb out. Blanqui's accomplices have already admitted that he is now in Paris, and we almost caught him the day before yesterday and the night before. Where will he hide now? ”

Baron Ottoman suddenly said, "Could it be hiding in St. Anthony Street?" ”

Baron Ottoman's mind conjured up streets filled with the stench of sewers and livestock manure, a nightmare that the aristocracy and high society would never want to set foot in for the rest of their lives.

"Recently, I read the report submitted by the precinct that someone was preaching revolutionary poetry on the rue Saint-Anthony, and I heard that it had also caught the attention of Baudelaire, who used his connections in the council of the Palais Bourbon to prevent the police from tearing down the wall. Sure enough, the republican literati were a swarm of disgusting flies, and they would smell the rotten flesh of the revolution and move to the wind. ”

Baron Haussmann said disdainfully, "Intensify the inspection of St. Anthony's Street, so that we may have a chance to catch the buzzing mosquitoes from the place where the filth is hidden." ”

General Espinas raised his head and looked at the other man thoughtfully, "Although His Majesty Napoleon proclaimed to establish a free France, it is up to everyone to guess how much freedom will carry it. ”

In order to restore the reputation of the empire after a series of diplomatic defeats, Napoleon III tried to win over the left after losing the support of the right. After the First Battle of Italy, he announced a general amnesty on August 16, 1859, marking the transformation of an autocratic empire into a decade-long liberal, parliamentary, and parliamentary empire.

At this time, the literary and artistic circles were still cautious, for fear that the emperor would just lure the snake out of the hole, and then suddenly change his tune and throw all opponents into prison.

Baron Haussmann clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, "I know that there is absolutely no 'freedom' in the security of Paris, and any revolutionary party that threatens His Majesty Napoleon must be hanged." ”

At this time, the door to the office was suddenly opened, and General Espinas's adjutant suddenly broke in, and said in an impatient tone, "General, something is wrong. ”

"What's going on, so reckless?"

Espinas turned his head impatiently and said, "Don't you see I'm busy right now?" ”

The adjutant said anxiously, "We just received a report that a woman knows Blanqui's whereabouts!" Now the man is outside the door. ”

"Then what are you still doing in a daze!"

General Espinas stood up abruptly and said impatiently, "Call him here!" ”

The adjutant walked out and waved impatiently for the woman standing by to hurry over.

Miral's wife cautiously looked at the two big men in the office and walked forward timidly. There is no domineering attitude that scolded her husband before.

She looked at the gloomy man in front of her uneasily, and whispered, "Honorable sir, I'm here to provide information, I'm ...... I have intel on Blanqui. ”

Seeing the other party's spitting appearance, Osman reprimanded, "Then you don't want to say it quickly?" What are you waiting for? ”

"Is it true that if I tell him whereabouts, I will get a thousand francs?"

General Espinas looked at the fat and ugly woman in front of him with disgust, as if he were looking at rats and flies in the sewers. In his eyes, these uneducated stupid women were no different from disgusted cockroaches. Impatiently, he said, "As long as the information you provide is accurate, we have captured this man, and a thousand francs will be yours." Otherwise, you won't even think of a word! ”

Hearing the other party's words, the woman's greedy eyes were undoubtedly revealed, and she quickly nodded and said, "Of course, honorable sir, I know where he has landed, and I can take you over to arrest him immediately." ”

"Wait."

General Espinas waved his hand to stop the Ottoman baron, and he whispered, "Let's send someone over to observe and determine the situation." If you can, it's better to wipe out the revolutionaries and their accomplices! Never again! ”

Baron Osman hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to do it yet, lure the snake out of the hole and catch the guy who is hiding the deepest!"
