Fox of France

v1 Chapter 405: , Consul

Istanbul is a little farther away, and they don’t have telegrams, so the time for His Majesty Sultan Selim III to get the news of Tripoli recaptured by the invincible Turkish army is a little later than France and other European countries. But because when the expeditionary army was sent, it was already determined, once Tripoli was defeated, who would be ruled. So the Turks actually acted faster than the French and the Holy See.

However, the Turks did not take advantage of this time gap to engage in unethical activities. Before the troops were sent, everyone had discussed the issue of the distribution of land and the location of the church. The consulate of France and the people of the Holy See must arrive before the final decision.

Of course, there are still a lot of benefits if you are one step ahead. For example, when it comes to the distribution of wealth, you can still take a lot of advantages.

So when Victor arrived in Tripoli, the Turks had basically registered the conditions of the manor here. There are two main things left. The first is to discern believers. The second is to allocate land.

The matter of discriminating believers should have been simple, because in theory every Christian slave should have a list. However, the Tripoli fire burned a lot of things, including the list. So only a lot of times, whether a person is a Christian or not has really become a question of Schrodinger.

Therefore, when Victor saw the "list of Christian slaves" provided to him by the Turks, he immediately discovered a problem. That is, the number of Christians on the list seems to be a little too small.

"Dear Pasha, is there an original list?" Victor asked.

"Yes, but it's written in Turkish." The new Tripoli Pasha called Ben Harden replied. "You need to see the original list?"

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, Pasha. This is the sacred mission given to me by the first ruler of France and the Roman Emperor. I have to be more serious."

So Ben Harden Pasha asked people to bring the original documents.

Victor asked, "Dear Pasha, can I take these things back and study them?"

"No problem. There is no problem at all. You can study as long as you like. We are close allies." Ben Harden Pasha replied.

So Victor took the original list back and compared it with the current list, and found that almost as long as the name in the list he got at the beginning, he could find it from the original list. There are many names on the original list that are not found in the current "Christian Slave List".

Early the next morning, Victor didn't even eat breakfast, so he went straight to the door and begged to see Ben Harden Pasha. Seeing that it was a French consul, the servant dared not report it, so he asked Victor to drink coffee in the front court and went in to report it.

Ben Harden Pasha is eating breakfast at this time. Speaking of which, this Pasha is a temperament. No matter who you meet, as long as the officer is one level lower than him, he can control it, whether you are a general or a nobleman. When he saw each other, he didn't agree with him, so he showed his face to others, regardless of how bad his face was. The generals and nobles were even like this. Those who served as errands under his men naturally drank and cursed, kicking them, or squeezing them.

The servant who went in to report arrived inside, but saw that Ben Harden Pasha was eating, and remembered the rules he had set for everyone when he took office. One of them was when he was eating, no matter what, Can't come to disturb him eating. As the saying goes, the true **** is the greatest, and eating is important.

So the servant didn't dare to step forward, but dared to stand far away and wait.

But Ben Harden Pasha's eyes turned, but he happened to see the servant and asked, "What's the matter?"

After hearing this, the servant hurried forward to report: "Return to Pasha, a guest wants to see you..."

Before he finished his words, he only heard a clap, and there were five more fingerprints on the servant's face. Then I heard Ben Harden Pasha cursing: "Asshole bastard! What did I tell you! Whenever I eat, no matter what guests come, I am not allowed to go back and forth. You have no ears, don't you hear!" Then, he raised his leg with another kick, kicking the servant to the ground.

Ben Harden Pasha was still angry, so he went to the shelf by the table to get his whip. Seeing that the situation is not good, the servant hurriedly said: "Honor Pasha, this guest is different. It is very important."

Ben Harden Pasha became more and more angry and shouted: "He is important, isn't it important to me? No matter who he is, is there anyone here who is more important than me?"

The servant hurriedly said: "It is Mr. Treville, the consul of France."

Ben Harden Pasha heard this, but for some reason, his arrogance was almost half short, and he was stunned for a long time. After thinking for a while, I got up suddenly, and with a snap, there were five more finger prints on the other side of the servant's face; then Ben Harden Pasha jumped up and cursed: "Asshole **** Who am I! It turns out to be a French! The French is here, why don't you return early and tell him to wait outside for a long time?"

The servant said: "I was in a hurry to go back and forth. I saw Pasha you were eating, so I waited on the corridor."

Ben Harden Pasha listened, raised his leg again, and said: "Other guests are not allowed to return. The French are coming. It is about the friendship between the two countries. How can he be called to wait outside? Confused bastard! Please come in soon!"

The servant quickly ran out ~lightnovelpub.net~ and invited Victor into the living room.

The two sat down in the living room, and Ben Harden Pasha asked, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Consul here?"

Victor said: "I read the original roster yesterday, and there are some traces of fire on this roster. When I wanted to come to Tripoli at that time, I burned some lists. According to general principles, there must be many Christians in the fire. The slave was burned to death. So the list of Christian slaves you gave me has fewer names than the above, which I can understand. But I think there will always be some people on the new list where their original names are burned. That is to say, some names in the new list should not be in these original lists. So I think that there may be some errors or omissions in the inventory of Christian slaves. I strongly request that among all the slaves, Carry out another comprehensive investigation, leaving no dead ends, so as not to let anyone who deserves freedom continue to suffer an unfortunate fate."

Ben Harden Pasha listened and said: "Ah, there is such a thing? This must be the **** minions below who are lazy and raped. If it weren't for Mr. Consul who loves the people like a child, his heart is as thin as a silk, as big as me. Old Chou, I was really cheated by them. Fortunately, the slaves are still there. I immediately let the guys below check it out. What do you think?
