King's Landing in France

Chapter 27 Robespierre's Speculation
When Dandong saw Robespierre, he smiled and said, "Maximilian, you seem to have been wearing this green coat for a few weeks."

Robespierre: "To be honest, I only have one coat. Does this club determine the value of a person's speech by the number of coats?"

Dandong was slightly embarrassed: "No, of course not."

"Occasionally, I go to see the speeches of the Academy of Sciences, especially the public experiments of Mr. Lavoisier. Before Mr. Lavoisier, we thought that combustion was due to phlogiston. This is an era of change. We One should not stand on the basis of pre-existing concepts and think that certain things cannot happen, otherwise it will be as ridiculous as those old pedants who laughed at M. Lavoisier."

Robespierre said and looked at An Ning: "Although I personally can't imagine an era in which all naval warships burn coal, I won't say that it must not happen."

——After working for a long time, you still don’t believe that the era of burning coal will come.

An Ning: "We have already used steam engines to draw water and transport coal in mines. Why can't we believe that steam engines have entered our lives more widely? We will have steam-driven cars and ships, and steam-driven spinning machines. "

"I agree with that statement too, why not?" A new voice joins the conversation.

When An Ning saw the speaker, she immediately frowned, because the speaker was a bit ugly.

"Now is the era of great technological development. I just wrote a paper and sent it to Mr. Lavoisier not long ago, but I haven't received a reply yet." The ugly buddy said so.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Mirabeau immediately came out to continue the topic. He said to An Ning, "Let me introduce something. This gentleman in the green coat is Maximilian Robespierre, the Roman you are looking for." man. And the man who devoted himself to scientific achievement was Jean-Paul Marat, a physician by training."

An Ning was shocked, okay, Robespierre, Danton, Marat, plus a core group of Saint-Just Jacobins will all be alive.

But considering his age, Saint-Just should be a young lady now.

Robespierre looked at An Ning suspiciously: "Are you?"

Mirabeau immediately introduced: "This is the civilian swordsman who defeated Reginald yesterday, Andy Frost from Caen."

Robespierre frowned slightly: "Reguinold was defeated? When did it happen?"

"Just yesterday, this was the hottest news yesterday." Dandong laughed, "Didn't you read yesterday's extra?"

Robespierre: "A duel is worth a credit?"

"After all, it's that Reginald, you should have been humiliated by him too?" Danton asked.

It appears that Reginold often humiliates people of commoner birth.

Robespierre: "I don't have that impression. So, Mr. Frost, what's your business with me?"

An Ning: "I may be sued by Reginald's father, the Marquis Richard, so I need a lawyer who is willing to fight for civilians to defend me."

Robespierre: "Of course it's fine, but I'm a law student who just finished his degree and I don't have any experience in litigation. Is that okay?"

Dandong interjected, "He's fine, after all, he's always ranked first in college."

Robespierre didn't deny it, but looked at An Ning seriously and asked, "Why do you think the Marquis would sue? Is there something wrong with the duel process? Didn't enough witnesses be found?"

"No, there are witnesses from both parties and a third party, and doctors confirmed that Reginald died on the spot." An Ning answered truthfully.

"Even if the Marquis can't sue, you don't have to worry at all."

An Ning: "I'm just in case..."

"Just in case, you'd better recall the process of the duel carefully, and help me determine where the other party may attack, so that I can prepare. Did any accidents happen during the duel?"

An Ning was about to answer no, but suddenly remembered what Reginald's cronies had done, and told Robespierre in detail: "There was indeed an accident. After the duel, Reginald's friends wanted to Shot at me, but the pellet was unloaded and rolled out of the muzzle before the shot was fired."

Robespierre frowned: "Who shot you?"

An Ning was stunned, he didn't even know the name of Reginald's friend.

It was Mirabeau who solved the siege: "It's Cuile Moore, one of Reginald's best friends, who seems to be a playmate Reginald brought from the countryside. It is estimated that his parents should be servants of the Marquis's family."

Robespierre nodded, and asked again: "Did everyone present see Quill Moore shoot you? Is anyone willing to testify?"

Mirabeau patted his chest: "I was there and witnessed the whole process with my own eyes."

Robespierre nodded: "I understand. I speculate that the Marquis may be making a fuss about the validity of the duel. Once he can prove that the duel has violations, he can accuse you of murder."

An Ning: "You mean he might slander me for shooting in a duel?"

"Yes, after all, there was a gunshot at the meeting place. The noble ladies onlookers may not know who fired the shot, they will only tell the court that the shot was fired at the scene. It should be easy for the Marquis to bribe several witnesses to falsely accuse you of firing the shot. .”

Robespierre seemed to be full of confidence: "You don't have to worry, the current French judiciary is no longer able to turn black and white by spending a few dollars of perjury by the Marquis."

Danton: "After all, the justices dare to veto the king's decision."

Marat: "If the post-mortem doctor is found, it should be able to prove that Reginald died of a knife wound."

An Ning nodded: "I will look for it, and Mr. Mably, who is my witness, should also testify for me."

"Marbury? The guy who demanded the equalization of the rich and the poor?" Some people frowned. "I don't like that guy. How did he get involved in this matter?"

An Ning spread her hands: "When I threw the glove at Reginald, Marbury happened to be speaking next to him. He witnessed the whole process, so he volunteered to be my witness."

Mirabeau: "By the way, the third witness to the duel was the priest Sieyes."

As soon as the words fell, Dandong said, "Your lineup of witnesses is full of guys who oppose the privileges of the nobility. I'm beginning to believe that this is a murder. You guys really agreed to kill that guy, right? "

An Ning: "I've only been in Paris for a few days, and I didn't know Mr. Marbury and Mr. Sieyès at all before that."

"Master Marquis certainly doesn't believe this."

Robespierre: "It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, what matters is whether the judge believes it or not. So when will this lawsuit start? Where is Lord Marquis now?"

An Ning: "Should be on the way to Paris."

Robespierre was stunned for a moment: "How can he sue you without being in Paris? Through an agent?"

"No, I haven't been charged. I'm just planning for a rainy day."

——Actually, it was because I had a nightmare about being sold by a lawyer, so I first found a reliable lawyer.

Robespierre looked a little speechless: "Okay, just recently I just finished my exam and got my degree, and I don't have anything to do. You have to come to me a few days later, maybe I'm going back to Arras .”

Danton was slightly shocked: "You still want to go back to Arras? I thought you would stay in Paris and work as a lawyer."

"The priest of Arras sponsored me to study at the Louis the Great School in Paris, and also sponsored my tuition fees at the University of Paris. I have to go back and serve my hometown." Robespierre replied seriously.

Danton: "You don't miss life in Paris at all?"

"For someone like me who only has one coat, there is no place to miss in Paris except the high cost of living." Robespierre shrugged, "Of course, I admit that exchanging opinions with everyone in the club is a good thing." It’s a nice thing to do, but that’s about it.”

After finishing speaking, Robespierre looked at An Ning: "I will stay in Paris for a while. If you are sued by the Marquis, please find me as soon as possible. I will write you my address. Whether I am there or not, you will You can leave a message for my landlady."
