    Since the conscience is gone, one indulges in lust and commits all kinds of filthiness.  Ephesians 4:19 ¡ª¡ª  The Count of Monte Cristo's banquet ended with a dramatic unfolding.  When they arrived, the guests had all thought about what kind of actions this rich man from a foreign country would take to surprise people.  But no one guessed that what they saw at the end of the banquet was actually the skeleton of a baby.  What kind of bad taste makes people find it so fun?  Anyway, not many guests found it fun, and there were even many ladies with weak nerves who fainted directly.  It didn¡¯t take long for the guests to leave with various reasons. No one wanted to stay to see what other shows were coming next, and the Count of Monte Cristo did not try to persuade them to stay and allowed the guests to leave.  However, although everyone was shocked, the strange thing is that not many people hated the count because of it.  After all, after the Count of Monte Cristo came to Paris, he created a persona of "a mysterious rich man from abroad with an eccentric temperament, very rich and very eccentric." Therefore, such a shocking banquet will only make people around  There are just one more of his mysterious legends, which are completely in line with his personality. Even though he was frightened at first, he finally had to admit that the count had indeed completed his mission, making him well-informed as he was already frequently in social places.  The guests saw things they had never seen before and satisfied their curiosity.  What is even more worthy of people's attention is that the latitude and longitude of this matter will also spread with the guests returning home - When the Count of Monte Cristo renovated his newly purchased villa, he dug up a baby's body in the garden.  Skeletons, and he claimed directly after the banquet that he planned to report the case to the police and let the government find out the truth.  And another piece of gossip must have spread quickly in the social circle at the same time - this villa was once owned by the father-in-law of Prosecutor General Villefort!  The combination of a powerful prosecutor general and the baby's bones is enough to make everyone wonder what the inside story is.  Among the people leaving one after another, Charles also took his sister and prepared to leave the villa in a carriage.  The night is already very deep, and there is deep darkness all around. Only a few lights can slightly illuminate the surrounding outline. The Count of Monte Cristo's mansion is now even more gloomy and gloomy, like a place where ghosts reside.  Charles was not in a hurry to leave. He frowned slightly and his eyes wandered in the blurry distance.  Until finally, he found Prosecutor General Villefort who was preparing to leave.  At this moment, he was walking towards the carriage with his wife. Under the dim light, he looked extremely pale, crying, and lost his mind.  There is no doubt that the baby's skeleton must have something to do with him, at least he must know about it.  Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, then walked quickly in front of him, blocking the path of the prosecutor.  "Char" A moment later, the prosecutor general came to his senses and discovered the young man standing in front of him.  He tried his best to smile, but the smile was still quite ugly.  "Mr. de Villefort, I want to have a good talk with you. Is it convenient for me to take my carriage back to Paris?" Charles asked directly.  As he asked, he looked at the other person with sharp eyes. Although he was asking a question, his tone was similar to an order.  Inspector Villefort did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment, perhaps because he was worried that he was in a mess now and didn't know how to deal with it.  "My husband is not feeling well today, Charles." Seeing her husband's appearance, Mrs. de Villefort quickly helped her husband out, took her husband's hand, and prepared to leave.  According to the general social understanding, when it comes to this matter, Charles should give in to his wife - ordinary Charles would definitely do the same.  But today is different.  "I'm afraid this is not an issue that you have the final say on, madam." Charles still had a tight face and looked at the prosecutor coldly, "Your husband, he really wants to talk to me. And you, please tell me  My sister sat down together and gave us some time to talk. Let¡¯s all go back to the city in peace and harmony. Thank you.¡± The blond young man is still as gentle and handsome as usual, but now he has a bit more coldness in his heart.  And arrogance, only when people see him will remember that he is still the heir of a powerful old marshal after all.  "You!" Being treated so rudely by Ciel? Mrs. de Villefort was a little angry. She looked at Charles fiercely, "You don't really think you can do whatever you want, do you?" "Then you have to ask your husband." Charles still replied coldly, and then directly  He reached out and grabbed the arm of the prosecutor general who was still lost. "Come with me. This will be good for everyone, sir." At this time, he no longer had the hypocritical politeness on the surface, but was straight and direct.  The order was given.  He is very angry today and does not want to be polite to the prosecutor general and his family; and more importantly, he has no time to be polite to others now.  He didn¡¯t know what Prosecutor General Villefort did that year, but he knew that the Count of Monte Cristo must have caught a huge flaw in Villefort, so he publicly embarrassed him in front of everyone. ????????????????????????????? More importantly, what happens next?  The Count of Monte Cristo will certainly not be satisfied with just this.  So he must ask Prosecutor General Villefort for clarification.  What the hell happened back then?  !  Being treated so rudely by Charles, Mrs. de Villefort turned pale. She gritted her teeth and was about to curse openly for everyone present to see. At this time, her husband suddenly pulled her  hand.  "Emma, ??let me talk to Charles." Prosecutor Villefort let out a long sigh.  "Gerard?" Mrs. Villefort was a little surprised. She looked at her husband, and Inspector Villefort nodded again to express his will.  Mrs. de Villefort also took a breath to calm down her emotions. Then, she looked at Charles with a smile as if she had a different face.  "Charle, let me go back with your sister. She is very cute. As for my husband, I will leave it to you first." At this time, she looked like a noble lady returning happily after attending a banquet.  , and Charles finally gave her face, saluted her extremely politely, and then led her husband to his carriage.  The lady kept smiling, looking gloomily at the back of her husband and the young man as they left.  Of course she could see that her husband was in a state of confusion today.  ¡°Furthermore, she knew more or less why her husband was so devastated¡ªafter all, she had been married to the prosecutor general for more than ten years, and she knew more or less about her husband¡¯s past.  She has no interest in pursuing her husband or sulking about those bad things in the past, so she never asks or talks too much. For her, running her current family well and taking good care of her own son Edward is enough.  But she didn¡¯t expect that her husband would actually believe this young man so much.  In this time of chaos, he actually went to the other party for help.  Why should he?  Just because your last name is Treville?  Or is it for some other reason?  She was thinking in her heart, but she couldn't find a clue.  In this way, Charles took the dejected Attorney General Villefort into the carriage, and his sister followed Mrs. Villefort back to the city. Charles bought himself at least half an hour to figure out what happened.  matter.  This was plenty of time, so after the carriage started, Charles did not ask in a hurry. The two of them just sat on the cushions and followed the carriage forward.  It wasn¡¯t until the vehicles and pedestrians on the road began to thin out, and only dim lanterns loomed not far away, that Charles spoke again.  "Please tell me, what black history do you have? What happened to that baby?" Attorney General Villefort was still silent, as if he was still digesting the blow he had just received.  And Ciel didn¡¯t intend to be polite anymore.  "It's already this timeyou're still trying to trick me?" The young man shouted angrily, then raised his hand and grabbed the other person's collar, and pushed him unceremoniously to the inner wall of the car, hitting him.  There was a clanging sound.  The impact was so severe that a lump formed on the right side of Attorney General Villefort's head. The pain made him grin and scream, but Charles didn't show much mercy.  He will never pity this guy.  Prosecutor General Villefort did not resist, but perhaps because of the severe pain, he seemed much more awake.  "Everything is my sin" He groaned and sighed, "God, why did this happen?!" "Is that baby yours?" Charles let go of his hand,  Then he looked at the other person coldly and asked.  "II did bury a child there." Attorney General Villefort nodded, and then answered with difficulty, "That was an illegitimate child." "I guess soifWhen you give birth to a child, you don¡¯t need to put it in a box and bury it.  "Char sneered, and then asked, "Who is that with you?  "The corners of the prosecutor's mouth twitched again. It was obvious that this terrible question made him very uneasy. Charles reached out and grabbed the other party's collar again. "Do you want me to remind you again so that you will know that now you are messing with me?  You are in big trouble, and only I can help you get out of these big troubles!  ?  " Charles's vicious rebuke finally broke the prosecutor's psychological defense. He covered his face in pain and had to face the sins he had committed. "Me Emily and I.  " Before Charles could ask again, he took the initiative to explain, "That's Mrs. Danglars now.  " "DonMrs. Danglars!  "Charles was a little dumbfounded by this unexpected news. In other words, the two people were married to each other at the time, and then they got together and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Then the illegitimate child was buried by Prosecutor General Villefort as soon as he was born.  No wonder Mrs. Tanglar had such a big reaction just now! If you think about it carefully, Mrs. Tanglar is still so beautiful now. She must have been even more beautiful when she was young and young. At that time, she fascinated Prosecutor Villefort.  After thinking about all this, Charles raised his head again and looked at the dejected prosecutor. He had no intention of morally condemning the other party. This kind of thing happened a lot in aristocratic society in the past.  There will still be many. But the key is that this matter was discovered by the Count of Monte Cristo, and then openly spread to the public. It¡¯s okay now. Everyone just suspects that this matter has something to do with the prosecutor. What about the future?  The Count of Monte Cristo's revenge will definitely not end here Is this guy still worth protecting? "Charle, but that child is not buried in the garden" Just then.  While Charles was still thinking, the prosecutor said something unexpected, "When I buried him, he was snatched away.  "    "What?  Charles was surprised again. "What's going on?"  " "This is too long to say" the chief prosecutor sighed, "To put it simply, during the Bourbon Restoration, there was a man whose brother was killed by the royalists because he supported the emperor. He complained to  Court, and then asked me to avenge his brother How could I possibly support his claim while I was in the service of the King of Bourbon?  As a result, he said he was going to kill me to avenge my brother. In order to avoid him, I applied for a transfer and came to Paris. As a result, I met and fell in love with Emily at that time. She lived in the Villa Auteuil.  We had a great time and eventuallyeventually she got pregnant.  " The deepest secret in my mind had to be revealed to others at this time. This pain made the prosecutor-general turn pale, but he had to continue, "The illegitimate child is a serious blow to both of us.  So after he was born, I was ready to send him directly back to the arms of the Lord.  I put him in the box and prepared to bury him in the garden of the villa. But at that moment, the man who was following me suddenly rushed over, gave me a severe blow, and then snatched the box away from me.  !  I was almost fatally injured and it took me several months to recover. I still have the scars on my stomach.  " "I still remember what he shouted when he stabbed me - I am Giovanni Bertusi, give your life to my brother's life, give your treasure to his widow!  You see, my revenge this time is more satisfactory than I hoped!  Prosecutor General Villefort shuddered, and then repeated this sentence with lingering fear, "Then the box disappeared. I searched several times but couldn't find it."  " "So, the Count of Monte Cristo didn't dig up the remains of a baby from the garden at all?  " Charles finally understood what Villefort meant. "Yes, it's impossible for him to find it. The box was taken away from the beginning!  Prosecutor General Villefort shouted in pain, full of panic and pain, "God, why does this box appear in front of me again?"  !  " Charles understood. Obviously, the Count of Monte Cristo heard about the secret scandal of Attorney General Villefort from some source, and then deliberately took out the box again and displayed it in his banquet. He  It no longer matters whether the box is authentic or not. Prosecutor Villefort has no way to argue - arguing is tantamount to admitting that he really had an illegitimate child with Madame Danglars.  . But, for Charles, all this is true.?It still makes sense, it means that Villefort is not actually caught in a fatal situation.  On the contrary, through Prosecutor General Villefort¡¯s explanation, in addition to gaining more information about Villefort, he also gained one more information about Mrs. Danglars.  When he thought of the lady's mature and beautiful figure, his mood improved a lot.  He looked at Attorney General Villefort again.  At this time, this high-ranking legal figure was in a state of despair and his face was pale. Where could he be as shrewd and capable as usual?  "Haha, on the surface, he is bright and upright, and he claims to be the embodiment of the law, but secretly, he is a man who steals and women are prostitutes, and has done so many shameful things.  However, this kind of person is still doing well in the world "Okay, don't look so sad!" He interrupted the prosecutor impatiently, "Obviously, you have been targeted by the Count of Monte Cristo, so  He staged such a show to target you. "Why did he target me like this? II don't have any grudge against him?" Prosecutor Villefort asked in confusion.  "Well you have been practicing law for so many years and have offended so many people. What's so surprising about adding him?" Charles didn't intend to reveal the information about the Count of Monte Cristo to him, so he just fooled him. "  You should think carefully about how you are going to get out! "Obviously, the matter has happened for so many years, and the count has no evidence even if he wants to accuse the prosecutor general, but he made such a fuss and displayed the remains in an exaggerated way.  Everyone must be suspicious of the Prosecutor General - the suspicion of the upper class does not require any evidence. After all, Prosecutor General Villefort's suspicions are too great.  So, no matter how you do it, your Excellency the Prosecutor General will definitely be disgraced for at least a period of time.  "Your Majesty His Majesty will definitely know what happened today. What will happen next?" After a long silence, the prosecutor asked cautiously.  "Will he be angry about this?" "I don't know." Charles replied, "But I will put in a good word for you." "Thank you, Charles." After receiving Charles's assurance, the panicked prosecutor general  Finally calmed down.  He reluctantly raised his head and looked at the dark night outside the car window, feeling that he was facing the coldest malice.  He didn¡¯t know where this malice came from, but he knew that if he was not careful, this malice would be enough to swallow him up.  The continuous blows during this period of time made him, who was originally determined, unable to help but feel uneasy.  "I have been judging others all my life, but now, I seem to smell the breath of being judged Maybe God wants to punish me for the many sins I have committed. I I am indeed guilty." After a long time,  Attorney General Villefort finally turned his head and looked directly at Charles, "Charles, if everything goes to the worst result Charles, I beg you to at least save my daughter and son, no I beg you  you!"
