Chapter 149: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
The second more
Gambida finally saw what an experienced coachman was, and just after Garion gave the order, the coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage away from the scene quickly. When the police caught up, they saw only a carriage driving away, but they didn't even see the people in the carriage clearly, just flashed in front of them, and then disappeared into the dusty end.
The policemen could only stand still and watch each other disappear, their legs running too fast to keep up with the speed of the carriage, so they had to give up the unrealistic idea of the chase and go back in annoyance, preparing to temporarily arrest the person who attended the Bodin memorial on the charge of "inciting hatred against the Paris government".
All this, however, was clearly seen by another pair of eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of Sir Fred's lips, for the face of the mysterious figure in the carriage was just right in his direction.
Familiar faces and figures, can't be wrong, it's definitely Garion. It was in vain that he waited here in ambush for a long time.
Sir Fred stood up, he sneered at the vanished carriage at the end of the street, and could not even help cheering for his impending victory. Garion has enemies on all sides and is already a controversial figure in Paris, so that others will attack him en masse. At that time, even if he didn't do it himself, he wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.
"Hey, hey."
The scheming guy sneered twice, and then disappeared into the tombstone.
The rest of the arrests had nothing to do with him.
The carriage galloped down the streets, through the woods and lanes, slowing down until there was no sign of the police behind it.
At the same time, the rescued Gambida is still in shock, this is the first time he has encountered such a thrilling situation since he became a full-time lawyer, and Dele Cruse is now in prison in order to cover himself.
His hands were still trembling, Garion stared at the young man in front of him, sighed helplessly, picked up the small wine jug he carried with him, and handed it to the other party.
"Take a sip to calm you down."
Gambida took the wine from Garion's hand, unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, looked up and poured a few sips, a stream of heat flowed down his throat into his stomach, choking him on the verge of coughing, and finally relieved himself and looked at the life-saver in front of him in a daze. Garion took the flask from Gambita's hand and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Gan Bida obviously did not slow down from the scene just now, and he is still in his spirits.
After a brief silence in the carriage, Gambi asked, "Why is Lord Garion here......
"To save your life."
Garion sighed and asked rhetorically, "You now know that the revolution isn't a dinner party, do you?" ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly remembered the scene when Delecluse kicked him to the ground, and the beating of the police sticks did not stop by stopping the resistance, but became more violent than before.
Those blood-spattered images made Gan Bida realize how ridiculous he had thought the revolution was. The real revolution is not the mass response and then the defeat of the empire, but the final victory won after countless blood and sacrifices.
Garion was also glad that this rebellion had taught him a lesson, otherwise he might not have been the last hero who would lead the people's army against the Prussian invasion in the future, and if it weren't for the compromise and the fact that the military funds were in the hands of the capitulationists, he might have really become the next French hero after Napoleon.
"Revolution is not something played by the petty bourgeoisie, it cannot be so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle and frugal." A revolution is an insurrection, a violent action by one class to overthrow another. This is the real revolution, and as for you holding up a sign, shouting a few slogans, and demonstrating by the way, this is not called revolution, this is called adding blockage. ”
Every word of Garion wanted to be pinpricked, pierced into his heart. Although he still had a trace of suspicion about the person in front of him before, thinking that he was just a speculator, now it seems that Garion has already seen through everything.
"I'm going to find a way to rescue Lord Delekruz."
Gan Bida looked at Garion with a serious expression and clenched his fists, "You have to get him out!" He was caught trying to get me to escape. ”
The carriage stopped at Garion's downstairs, and he opened the door, asked Gan Bida to get out of the car, and said to him, "Take care of yourself, Mr. Gan Bida." Recently, the wind has been relatively close, so I will hide in my house for a while and wait until the wind has passed before I can prepare. If you're not wanted, there's still a chance to become Dele Cruz's defense lawyer, and that's your only chance of rescuing him, albeit remotely. ”
Although the historical Gan Bida did argue with reason, he wanted to prove the innocence of his friend. However, the Imperial Court, which decided to follow its example, sentenced Delle Cluse to one year in prison despite the opposition of the public.
Gan Bida also realized that he couldn't do anything now, so he had to hide in Garion's house for a while, and wait until the rumors passed before trying to figure out a way.
On the corner of the street across the street, in a dark corner where the sun did not shine, a pair of eyes surveyed everything on the other side of the street, and when he saw Garion and a stranger enter the house at the same time, he hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.
Sir Fred also had men downstairs at Garion's house, and reported to him as soon as there was any disturbance. The servant who was keeping an eye on Garion's mansion immediately ran back to report to Sir Fred when he saw this.
Fred had just returned home, sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, thinking about how to deal with Garion.
His eyewitness testimony alone is not enough, and if he comes to get the stolen goods, I am afraid that Garion will have to enjoy a leisurely vacation in prison.
As soon as the servant who had returned from the door of Garion's house entered, he brought him good news.
"Lord Fred, Garion hurriedly brought a strange man home today."
"Strange man?"
When he hears that Garion has returned home with a stranger, he immediately realizes that the person behind the escape is the mastermind.
Sir Fred was presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this time the evidence was conclusive, and Garion was probably unable to clear his name of harboring criminals.
He hesitated and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
The servant nodded, "Pretty sure." ”
Madame Balanchi, who had been in a state of distraction to-day, wanted to go to the drawing-room for a glass of water, but she stumbled upon a whispering discussion between her servant and her husband. She casually asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
The sudden uninvited guest made Sir Fred frown dissatisfied, he looked at the cheating woman in front of him, and said rudely, "Why did you come in, get out!" ”
When Balanchi heard his complaint, he immediately thrust into his waist with dissatisfaction, and asked rhetorically, "Why, as a wife, I can't even enter the living room now?" ”
Fred sneered and said, "Of course I can, and I'll tell you something unfortunate by the way, my lady." Your little lover is almost finished. ”
Mrs. Balanchi's face changed suddenly, and she pretended to be calm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! ”
Sir Fred said triumphantly, "Don't think I don't know about your and Garion's, but it's okay, my dear, your Garion will soon be finished, he is now harboring criminals, I will expose him to the Paris police, and I guess he will soon go to jail." ”
"You bastard!"
Hearing that her husband was going to expose the little lover's crimes, Mrs. Balanchi finally couldn't help it, and scolded, "Despicable rat, damn villain! Don't touch him! ”
"Hmph, dirty little slut, she really has a leg behind this hillbilly."
"At least this hillbilly is better than you in every way, oh yes, even the thing under the crotch is more than 20 centimeters longer than you! You poor wretch! ”
Fred has always concealed the inferiority of men's dignity for too long, and now that Mrs. Balanchi has uncovered the scar and sprinkled salt on it, he suddenly turned his head in annoyance and gave an order to the servant behind him, "Send Madame into the room and lock the door, the food will be prepared and brought in by the servant, and she will not be allowed to step into the door today, no one is allowed to violate my orders, do you hear?" ”
The servant made a gesture of please, motioning for Madame Balanchi to cooperate obediently, or they would be forcibly sent out. The lady glared at the other, spat at Sir Fred's face, and said angrily, "Fred, you will go to hell sooner or later!" ”
