Chapter 1647: frog & fog (35)

  Chapter 1647 frog&fog (35)

  The French likes to run very much. In this way, it doesn’t seem strange that Alessandro, who once played for the school football team, explores Monsouri Park while running.

From the satellite image, Mengsuri Park is a green space. However, except for the mental hospital that is not open to the outside world, the park is actually a Pingdingshan. Inside the Pingdingshan is an underground palace with hundreds of pillars. Supported, under the vault is crystal clear water glowing with blue light.

  This place is the Monsuri Reservoir. The purified water inside is enough for a quarter of Parisians to drink. The person responsible for the design of this reservoir is Eugène Bergerand, and he is also the designer of the Canal Saint-Martin Underground Museum. When Haussmann was designing buildings on the ground, Bergerand was responsible for constructing canals and reservoirs, introducing clear springs and river water into Paris, so as to free Parisians from the threat of cholera.

  The huge underground system designed by Bergerand became the main exhibit at the Paris International Exposition in 1867, and the scale, complexity, and cost of the Monsouri Reservoir were the highest at the end of the 19th century. It was excavated in 1868, and it took five years to build it. At that time, the empire of Napoleon III was already in a precarious state. Originally, Bergerand wanted to use this reservoir as a new exhibit to show to the guests participating in the World Expo. After the Second Empire, it disappeared. The third republic that took over continued to broadcast and build for the practical use of the reservoir. Of course, it also It's not exactly as magnificent as Bergeron designed at the beginning, but even the "rough" is enough to make people breathtaking.

Below the reservoir is the ancient capuchin quarry. The stone used for the construction of Notre Dame de Paris is mined from this quarry. The quarry and reservoir are both open to the public. Alessandro went in and visited the quarry. There are display stands of stones from different strata on display in the field. For example, the Mengsuli Reservoir, which is shaped inside the cathedral, is also known as the "Water Storage Temple".

  People like the glamorous Paris, but they are very opposed to the reformer of Haussmann. Before the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III could continue to support the reform of Haussmann under pressure. After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, his team was disbanded by Napoleon III in 1870. But those projects continued until 1927. Today's downtown Paris and the unique appearance after receiving the plan are the result of the transformation by Haussmann.

  Theoretically, if the stone of Notre Dame de Paris is mined from the Capuchin quarry, then the fountain in front of Notre Dame should also be a place.

However, some people say that Mr. Grey’s sculpture was originally a stone pillar in a shopping street. No one knows who he is. He can only see a snake beside him. Others say it is a boundary stone of Rome. If it is so, then this piece The stone for the statues and fountains was probably shipped from Rome.

The Egyptian pyramids are now looking dilapidated. It is not entirely due to weathering. From ancient times to the present, people have removed the stones of the pyramids for use in the construction of contemporary buildings. When the authorities decided to expand the square in 1748, this sculpture was demolished along with many surrounding buildings. At that time, at the time of the Austrian Throne War, Louis XV was overhauling the city while fighting.

Shortly after the fountain was demolished, around 1750, a bizarre case of missing children occurred in Paris. If the dissatisfaction and complaints of Paris citizens against Louis XV’s laziness and selfishness in the 1940s remained verbal and formal, the case of missing children Let the citizens embark on the road of rebellion.

One year before the    series of incidents, the 1749 Austrian Throne War ended. Although the sons of Parisian craftsmen are not like those nobles, and there is a kingdom that needs them to inherit, their parents still love them.

These kidnappers are so strange. They neither kidnap the sons of rich people for ransom nor kidnap homeless children, but rather kidnap the sons of saddlers, shoe repairers, and shop workers. If they really want pure blood to treat lepers, The same goes for the little girls, but the kidnapped girls are still in the minority.

The "Holy Infant" of the Holy Infant Cemetery comes from a biblical story. One day King Herod had a dream. He quietly recruited a doctor and asked when the star of salvation appeared. Then he sent someone to Bethlehem and asked them to look for the child carefully. , And report if you find it. The doctors went, and then they saw a star leading their way until the stables stopped.

  At this time, the doctors saw a child who had just been born. His father was a carpenter. The doctors gave him a lot of gold, frankincense, and myrrh as gifts.

On the way back, the doctors dreamed that they would not go back to see King Herod, while Joseph dreamed of asking him to take the child and his wife to Egypt and live there. Joseph got up overnight and took the child and his mother. Hurry to Egypt.

There was also a man named Moses in ancient Egypt. At that time, Pharaoh ordered the midwife to die as long as the mother gave birth to a boy. The girl can survive. After giving birth to him, Moses’ mother put him in a basket and asked him to follow. Rafting on the Nile River, he was discovered by the Egyptian princess who was bathing and adopted him as his adopted son.

  King Herod found that the doctors had not returned for a long time and was furious, so he ordered all the boys under the age of two in Bethlehem to be executed.

  The king is like this, as long as he feels that the person threatens his rule, even a child will kill him. Legend has it that Li Shimin heard a prophecy that a woman with martial arts would usurp his dynasty, so he killed all the girls surnamed Wu in the empire, even a man named Wuniang.

  Finally, under the persuasion of the prophet, Li Shimin gave up on the pursuit of the woman surnamed Wu, and the girl who was lucky enough to survive later became Empress Wu Zetian of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi.

Napoleon was not born in 1750. His father Charles Bonaparte was just over four years old. If Charles Bonaparte had been kidnapped at that time, he would still meet Letizia, will Napoleon still be born?

  But at that time Charles Bonaparte was not in Paris. He was in Ajaccio, Corsica. His parents were not artisans in Paris. The age of the victims was concentrated between 11 and 12. In Corsica’s Bonaparte family, which was a little nobleman, he was a middle-class man at best in Paris, which was similar to these harnesses and shoe repairers. At first, the Paris police suspected that these children were abducted by juvenile gangs, most of the parents. They would tell their children not to go with strangers casually, but they didn't warn them not to go with "brothers and sisters".

  These juvenile offenders were 20 years old and 9 years old. They were involved in homicide cases at a young age.

  The children arrested by the police are below this age, but the social status of these juvenile offenders is that of gangsters on the streets of Paris. Give them money and they don’t mind doing errands. At the same time, this also means that they can spread rumors at will. They only need to cry in the public and say that they were almost kidnapped, and there will be enthusiastic citizens who will believe it. Who would suspect a child in his 10s?

Rumors are an irresistible phenomenon. Parisians prefer to believe in whispers that are circulated in secret rather than public announcements. Then the rumors lead to more rumors. The police are no longer trusted because they are also involved in kidnappings. This eventually caused social panic and led to the death of Paris police chief Rabe.

According to what Severus said, Gianluca went to investigate the report record left by the Louvre at the Paris police station. It is true that there is no record of the theft of the meditation basin, and there is no record of the theft of other cultural relics. There is a record of the arrest of a man disguised as a plaster sculpture.

  When even a hacker was unable to do what he wanted, he really couldn’t find out where the fountain stones that were demolished during the expansion of Notre Dame de Paris were used. Fortunately, the French National Library is digitizing documents and establishing an online library. He found such a 1750 document.

  "About 12 years old, the artisan's son?" Alejandro asked Gianluca, a sweaty man, while drinking water.

   "I'm looking at a celebrity during the French Revolution, maybe he ruined the Bourbon royal family." Gianluca said.

  "Not Robespierre?" Alessandro asked again.

   "Robospierre was born in 1758, and his father, grandfather and great-grandfather are Calais lawyers." Gianluca said.

   "Oh my god, it sounds crazy." Monica said with a look of disgust.

   "No one says this is the truth." Severus said, "This is our own guess."

  "Should I continue to look for the whereabouts of the stones, or continue to follow this clue?" Gianluca asked.

   "Whatever you want." Severus said lazily, "How did Leroy look up over there?"

   "You can contact him yourself." Gianluca said, and then hung up the phone.

   "What shall we do next?" Monica said.

  Severus thought for a while, and then picked up the mirror that Cloris had given him. A scene appeared in it. A bronze sculpture of an angel was standing in a pool holding a sword.

   "I know this, it's Michele Fountain!" Monica yelled, and took out the travel magazine she bought from her bag.

   "Let me see." Alessandro leaned over to see, but was pushed away by Monica.

   "You smell so bad, stay away from me." Monica said.

   "Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower." Severus said, "By the way, change your clothes. There is a very formal party tonight, in Versailles. You go and change your clothes."

   "What about me?" Monica pointed to herself and said.

  Severus curled his mouth, "My time is precious, I won't wait for you to spend an hour putting on makeup."

   "Give me your clothing bag." Monica said confidently, "I promise you will be eye-catching at the party."
