In his previous life, John had seen the big-nosed Bauer Duvier in a documentary about how the Jewish revenge group tracked down Nazi executioners after the war. Pen ~ Fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info In that film, Bauer Duvière is the leader of the notorious French militia in Lyon.

The so-called French militia was an armed force established by the Vichy government of France at that time to cooperate with the German army to fight against resistance groups, and was led by the famous "French traitor" Danad. This "French puppet army" took advantage of its familiarity with the local situation to frantically persecute the resistance groups and Jews, and was called the "Gestapo" of France.

One of these traitors was the most brutal of these "traitors", who shot and killed seven innocent Jews without trial in one go in retaliation for the assassination of Vichy government officials by the Resistance.

After the liberation of France, Danard and others were executed, but this Bauer Duvière disappeared. Although he was sentenced to death in absentia in 1946, he was never captured. It wasn't until many years later that he was whistled and arrested, and in 1994 he was finally sentenced to life in prison for "crimes against humanity."

It's true that good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. Such a bastard was able to get away with it for almost 50 years. There is no heavenly reason, the more John thinks about it, the more unbalanced his heart becomes. By 1994, this guy was almost 100 years old, so what was the point of sentencing him to life! John doesn't even think he'll be able to outlive this guy. This is so hateful!

No, it can't be so cheap this bastard. John didn't care if he was "wronged" Duvier, anyway, he made up his mind, and he would go out and find someone to kill this guy. Isn't he doing business in Algeria, and it's not difficult to do it there.

While John was pondering how to clean up Duvier after he got out, a middle-aged police officer pushed the door open and walked in and said to him in English, "Hello, Mr. Vanderbilt." You can go back. ”

"What, no more confessions?" John asked.

"Look at what you said, it's not a trivial matter." The gray-haired officer said with a smiling face, "General Giraud just called to tell our chief about your situation, and you can go back." You can rest assured that no records will be left behind. ”

"General Giraud?" John was a little surprised, he thought it was his brother-in-law Ballesson greeting the Lyon police.

"Our director is the nephew of General Giraud." The officer rubbed his hands together and said with a sneer: "If there is an offense before, please bear with me." ”

"Well said, well said." John didn't intend to embarrass the little policemen below, anyway, they didn't do anything about themselves: "Tell your chief for me, I will thank you in person if I have the chance." ”

Out of the police station, Adele and Monsieur de Garno were already waiting for him at the door.

"Why are you here, Ella?" John hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"The child is tired of crying, and has fallen asleep, and Mary is guarding the hotel." Adele jumped forward and hugged her husband to look left and right, "Are you okay, they didn't do anything to you." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." John smiled and comforted his wife, and then said to Monsieur de Garno, "I'm sorry to bother. ”

"I shouldn't have gone out in the morning." Mr. Degano said hatefully, "I haven't settled the accounts with them back then, and these little rabbits dare to beat my daughter's idea, and this time I am not done with them." ”

It seems that the old man came to the United States not only to escape the war, but also to have a lot to do with some local families in Lyon. John knew in his heart that Mr. Degano was planning to settle old accounts with his old enemies by his own hands. No wonder he didn't say a word about the flowers on the ship, and it is estimated that he knew who Duvier was at that time, and waited for himself to do it for him.

John didn't mind that, though, and he wasn't going to let the bastards go anyway. If the opportunity is right, it is okay to teach the family behind them a lesson for the old man, but in some cases, he still has to ask clearly first.

"Let's go back quickly, Ella will wake up and see you crying again." John was anxious to see his daughter in the hotel first, and the little one was frightened in the morning, and John was a little distressed by crying.

On the way back, Adele tells him exactly what happened after John left. When John was taken away by the police, Adele herself panicked and didn't know what to do, so she almost called the U.S. Embassy. Fortunately, the innkeeper Pierre found Mr. Degano in time for a walk.

It was only after Degano reminded her that Adele remembered to call Cousin Consuelo. Hearing that her brother had been beaten and put in the police station, Cousin Consuelo was also anxious and immediately asked her husband Balezon to leave for Lyon.

Fortunately, Balesson called his old friend, General Giraud, before leaving. General Giraud is a native, and he still has some influence in Lyon, which is why John was released so quickly. Otherwise, by the time Balesson arrives in Lyon (Adele and Degano are now American citizens and there is no way to bail John), John will have to spend the day in the bureau.

After returning to the hotel, John took the opportunity to inquire carefully with Mr. Degano about the family behind the gentlemen. At this time, Degano was no longer hidden. He told John that Duvière and the mustachioed family were both in the silk textile factory, and that the two families were in-laws. Duveille's uncle is now the vice-president of the Lyon City Council, and the mustachioed grandfather was the mayor of Lyon, but has been dead for some years.

At that time, Monsieur de Gano once competed with Duvier's uncle for the position of city councilor, but the two families joined forces to cheat. In the end, thanks to the intervention of his patron in Paris, Monsieur de Gano was able to escape from France.

As for the fat man, the situation of the family behind him is somewhat special. His family ostensibly ran a commercial bank, but in reality they had been purses of the Catholic Church in Lyon for generations. This is not unusual, since the Catholic Church has been involved in the usury business since the days of the Knights Templar. The Diocese of Lyon was once the chief diocese of the French Catholic Church, and the Church was very powerful. Over the centuries, church assets have penetrated into all walks of life, and it may not be easy to move them.

However, John was mainly aimed at Duvière and the others, and he did not intend to fight with the family behind them as Monsieur de Garno wished. The political struggle is not about who is right and who is wrong, who is to blame for the bad chess move of the old man back then? When the time comes, John will extort more money from them, and just vent his anger to the old man.

John believed that the other party would not be willing to tear his face with him for those few unsuccessful guys, and it was not impossible to abandon them if necessary. Although John did not know much about the style of the gentlemen, he knew very well the style of the rulers of these families.

Sure enough, that afternoon, not long after Balezon's brother-in-law arrived, an invitation was delivered to John's room. The guest was Duvière's uncle of the deputy speaker, at a century-old bouchon in the Red Cross, and the guests were Johann, Adele and Ballesund, not Monsieur de Garno.

It seems that these local snakes inquired very clearly about the situation on John's side, and they deliberately wanted to limit the contradiction to the "skirmish" that occurred today. Obviously, in order to avoid offending John, a wealthy American man, and the Balleson family, Duveyer and the others were going to be pushed out by their own family as "scapegoats".

That night, John and the others met with the heads of the three gentlemen's families. As soon as the bosses of the three families came up, they apologized to John and Adele with a proper attitude, saying that they did not manage the children of the family well and were willing to compensate for it.

Of the three, the fat man's family has the most detached attitude. With their backs to the Catholic Church, they knew very well that John and Balleson could not do anything to them. Of course, they didn't want to tie up with John because of this little thing.

The apology they offered was a deed and a Bible. The Bible is a parchment manuscript, and the title on the cover is written by Pope Pius XI himself. The deed is from the former residence of Adele's family on Ampere Square. Pierre mortgaged it to the fat man's bank when he took out a loan before. These two apologies seem to have taken a lot of thought, and they have found the pulse of the "victim" Adele.

The heads of the other two families are much more reserved. In the face of French textile and garment industry giants such as the Balleson family, these "small families" who eat in the textile field are obviously a little lacking in confidence. As a result, they have come up with more generous apologies, ranging from jewelry to antique paintings, and even a small winery. It seems that John: They made a small fortune this time.

Nodding, John accepted their sincerity. However, he also made a request that the three bastards who caused the incident be driven to North Africa to eat sand, and that they should not be allowed to return to France for three years. These family bosses didn't intend to make the three guys who caused trouble for them feel better when they went back, so they agreed without much thought.

John, this is not a mercy and let those three bastards go. It won't be long before Europe fights, and then these families will have no time to take care of themselves, so how can they take care of these three guys. By the time they got to North Africa, it wasn't up to John to play as much as he wanted. During the war years, it was all too normal for someone to go missing.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the bigwigs of the three families called in the bastards who had been standing outside the door, asked them to make amends to John and his wife in person, and "pronounced the sentence" on the spot. Hearing that he had been sent to a North African colony, the three guys, who had been arrogant in the morning, almost didn't kneel down and beg John to raise his hand.

John wouldn't have bothered them. But the resentful look in Duveille's eyes reminded him that he would go straight back to Paris with Balleson early tomorrow morning. Who knows if these gentlemen will have any tendons, and what if they hurt Adele and Ella. Before the White Mountain Brigade came over, Adele and the others were still staying at Cousin Consuelo's house.
