The fact that Garian took Blois to court caused quite a stir in Parisian literati circles, especially since some writers also turned the finger around and confronted Garion under the maneuver behind Mérimée. The Parisian literary scene has not waited for a target for a long time, and they are tired of Hugo's cliché and the constant consumption of the dead. Mérimée did not do it himself, but he co-opted another French academician, who was also a well-known literary critic, Diccon, and used his popularity to condemn Garion's actions.

Decon is a character who also gives Mérimée a headache, and he satirizes Flaubert's epilepsy in his Literary Memoirs, which affects his creative talent. He even wrote a letter satirizing Flaubert's Madame Bovary for only a hundred francs, and even broke out in 1887 with Maupassant in a series of bitter conflicts, leading to a protracted literary war.

Mérimée made a special visit to the house, glorifying Blois as he told the story, and obscuring some of the facts and details, describing Garian as a heinous bastard.

"This kind of person is simply the scum of the literary world!"

Mérimée's words aroused a sense of justice in Dickon's heart, and he locked himself in his study, and there was a large pile of negative news about Garion on the table, from covering up the revolutionary party's imprisonment to the lace news with Madame Balanchi, a Parisian courtesan, and Dickon was ready to concoct a surprise for the young writer who was in the middle of the day.

In his eyes, Garion is a "literary nouveau riche", the article has no technical content, and he can't even figure out why readers would like this kind of work, it is simply a carnival of a group of St. Anthony's lower classes. He has always believed that a true gentleman does not bother to read such a thing without connotation.

"Hugo, that bastard, how could he find such an unproductive successor?"

Dikang took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but curse angrily, "For God's sake, it's like pushing the rose of Aldi into the mouth of the animal." ”

Half of the literati in the French literary world have fallen in love with Hugo's daughter, but after Garion got the heart of the beauty, most of the French literary people hated him to the core.

Dickon wants to use his articles and influence to stomp Garion under his feet. He remembered what his friend Mérimée had told him before.

"If you can push a popular literati off the altar, then you will be the next person to stand on the altar."

Dickon carefully folded the manuscript and sent it to the newspaper. He had the right time to publish it in Le Figaro the day before the trial of the Gallian lawsuit.

What kind of expression will be on Garion's face at that time, Dican is very much looking forward to it.

Compared with Blois's article, Dickon's text is already a real slander, picking out a few of the most eye-catching rumors from all kinds of false rumors, such as collusion with the revolutionary party, such as publishing it in the form of facts, and almost writing, "I swear in the name of God that everything in this report is accurate." ”

Originally on the cusp of the storm, Garion was constantly pushed forward by various invisible forces, and was always involved in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion. The ill-intentioned eyes hiding in the shadows are waiting, waiting to see him ruined.

Le Figaro published articles slandering Garion's reputation and placed them in the headlines for the world to see.

Everyone was expecting the person concerned to make a more irrational move, but after a whole day, even the evening newspaper was haircut, and there was still no news about him.

Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know what the hell was going on behind Garion's back. Academician Dickon thought that he had confessed, "Dare to bully a poor writer who has no status, but dare not attack the French academician." Cowards only bully the weak. It seems that the so-called conscience of Paris is nothing more than that. ”

However, Academician Dickon's best efforts to discredit did not prevent the court trial from taking place the next day, and Garion put on his waistcoat as usual, took the hat that Ardai handed him, and said calmly, "I'll go first." ”

Balanchi put on his coat for him and asked worriedly, "Honey, don't you really need to refute it?" The content of that article is really vicious! ”

Describing herself as a slut with a watery poplar and planting a glorious deed on her head, Balanchi felt indignant, but helpless.

Aldai even said that this matter is related to his father's reputation, and he must maintain the dignity of the Hugo family no matter what.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Garion gave Balanchi a hug, stroked her cheek, and whispered, "I'll take care of this matter, and I won't cause you any trouble." ”

Garion looked calm, without any waves on his face. On the contrary, this calm and silence before the storm made Balanchi and Aldi feel even more uneasy.

Silence does not mean forbearance, but also a brewing of revenge.

Garion knew that someone wanted to stir up this matter and make himself ruined, and he would never let the people behind it achieve his goal.

Walking out the door of the apartment, Garion came to the street. A private carriage on the side of the road was waiting for him. Zola and Gambita opened the door and beckoned Garion to get in.

"I saw the article in Le Figaro yesterday."

Gan Bida was the first to speak, "I'm afraid the whole thing is not as simple as imagined, and some people may even deliberately hype up the whole incident in order to force His Excellency Garion to drop the indictment, or to discredit your reputation." ”

"I know."

Garion put his hands on his thighs and said calmly, "Of course I can guess their little thoughts." ”

"Shall we drop the lawsuit?"

Zola hesitated for a moment, then analyzed, "Even if we win, it will end up causing damage to your reputation, which is not worth it for you at all. ”

"No, the lawsuit continues."

Garion spoke firmly, rejecting Zola's offer.

"I just want to let these clowns know what will happen to me if they annoy me. After cleaning up the blois, I'll go under the knife next with Dickon. ”

Take a member of the French Academy to go under the knife?

Zola and Gambida looked at each other.

"What, is this idea dangerous?"

Garion looked at the two of them with shocked expressions and asked them rhetorically.

"It's more than a danger."

Gan Bida held his forehead and replied weakly, "It's crazy! ”
