Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1554 Depressed Frenchman

After getting to know each other, the French President immediately lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Steven, I must emphasize that the treasures of Napoleon belong to France and belong to the wealth of all French people. I hope you can keep them in France!

Especially those two original editions of the "Code Napoleon" and those documents about Napoleon, they are too important to leave France! "

When he said these words, he always had a warm smile on his face, as if he was chatting with a friend he hadn't seen for a long time!

Antoine, who was in charge of the translation next to him, immediately translated this passage, word for word!

Ye Tian also responded with a bright smile, but his answer was firm and unquestionable.

"Mr. President, it is undeniable that Napoleon's treasure did belong to France more than 200 years ago, it belonged to all French people, and it is the common wealth of all people in this country!

But as early as the beginning of the nineteenth century, after this historic building was publicly auctioned and successfully sold, Napoleon’s treasure no longer belonged to France, and it became private property the moment the auction hammer fell!

After changing hands several times, today, this building has become my private property, and the treasure of Napoleon buried deep underground has also been successfully owned by me. This is indisputable!

I fully understand the desire of the French government and people to keep Napoleon’s treasure, and I am happy to see it succeed, but it depends on the quotation you make. I hope everyone is happy with the result! "

Hearing this, the French President's face immediately turned cold, and a trace of anger quickly flashed in his eyes.

The same is true for the few Frenchmen standing next to him, everyone's eyes are full of anger, but there is nothing they can do!

Knowing that this is not a place for conversation, and there is no reason to talk about it, the French president very wisely changed the topic so as not to freeze the atmosphere!

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries and talking nonsense without any nutrition, Ye Tian and the French President respectively introduced the people around them.

That 50-60-year-old French man is the Minister of Culture of France, in addition to a legal adviser to the President's Office, and an aide.

Ye Tian shook hands with these French guys one by one, introduced himself, and always had a warm smile on his face, showing impeccable performance.

Subsequently,

Ye Tian led the French president and his party through the gate and disappeared from Channones Street!

After entering this historical building, Ye Tian, ​​as the owner, briefly introduced this early Renaissance style building to these French people, and expressed his appreciation for the city protection measures in Paris!

Listening to his introduction, the French president and his party felt very depressed, but they had nowhere to vent!

Napoleon's treasure was hidden in Paris under the eyes of countless French people for more than two hundred years, but no one found it. In the end, Steven, a greedy bastard, was taken advantage of for nothing!

Thinking of this, the French president couldn't help but feel distressed and angry!

Not only him, but also all the other French people, some even hated the Clements who sold this historic building!

While talking, everyone has entered the living room.

Next, there was another introduction and pleasantries, Ye Tian introduced everyone in the living room.

Just like when he was outside, the French President was very approachable. He greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands. It was like a spring breeze!

That's what a politician is, and one of the highest!

After finishing these superficial tasks and everyone took their seats, the eyes of the French President and his entourage immediately fell on the portable alloy safe in Ye Tian's hand.

In the previous live broadcast, this portable safe had appeared before, so all these French people knew each other and knew what was inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, the French President pointed to the portable safe and said:

"Steven, what is in this safe should be the two original editions of the "Code Napoleon", right? Can you take them out so that we can enjoy them too?

If possible, after the meeting is over, I would like to go to the secret room deep underground to see those precious documents and other top-level antique works of art! "

Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation!

Except for Ye Tian himself, Martinez and Antoine, everyone else in the living room had only seen the two original versions of "Code Napoleon" on the live broadcast screen, and none of them had the chance to witness it with their own eyes!

For such two priceless treasures of great significance, who would not want to see them with their own eyes? Even Martinez and Antoine would like to appreciate these two French national treasures again!

Ye Tian looked at the French President, then scanned the crowd, then nodded with a smile and said:

"It's better to be respectful than obedient. Since Mr. President and everyone here want to appreciate these two original editions of the "Code Napoleon", I will not let everyone down.

As for visiting the underground secret room, there is no problem, but before going down, you must wear a full set of protective equipment, after all, it has been closed for more than two hundred years! "

With that said, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to pick up the portable alloy safe, put it gently on the coffee table, then pressed his fingerprint, entered the password, and opened the sturdy safe!

What immediately appeared before everyone's eyes was not the two original "Code Napoleon" but a piece of gray moisture-proof oiled paper.

Ye Tian stopped the movement of his hand, he turned his head and said to Taylor next to him:

"Taylor, you go and turn on the sconces, and draw the curtains on all the windows, trying not to let in any natural light, so as not to damage these two codexes!

These two original versions of the "Code Napoleon" have been hidden in the underground chamber for more than two hundred years, and they have become somewhat fragile. We must be extremely cautious"

"Okay, Steven"

Taylor nodded in response, and immediately acted.

Seeing Ye Tian's arrangement, the French President and his entourage couldn't help but nodded slightly, with a rare gleam of appreciation in their eyes!

In a blink of an eye, the living room became dark, only the wall lamp was on, and the light was very soft.

Even NBC and two other news outlets cooperated very well by turning off their spotlights for filming.

The light conditions were already suitable, so Ye Tian took out two pairs of white gloves, handed one pair to the French President, and put the other pair on his hands, and explained aloud:

"These two "Code Napoleon" are extremely important historical documents, and they have been hidden in the underground chamber for a long time. In order to avoid damage to them due to the sweat on your hands, you must wear gloves when reading them!"

"Okay, Steven"

The French President nodded and put on the white gloves.

Afterwards, Ye Tian gently lifted the moisture-proof oil paper, and showed everyone the original version of "Napoleon's Code" covered underneath!

The moment they saw the blue velvet cover of "Code Napoleon", all the French people cheered excitedly.

"Wow! The binding of this "Code Napoleon" is so beautiful. I have only heard of this version before, but I have never seen it. I didn't expect it to exist. It's incredible!"

"There is no doubt that this is a well-deserved French national treasure and one of the most precious evidence left by the French Revolution!"

Just when these French people were full of emotion, Ye Tian carefully took out a copy of "Napoleon's Code" from the safe, and handed it to the French President, so that this man would enjoy it too!

"Mr. President, this is the original version of the Napoleonic Code, which took four and a half years and a total of 102 seminars by famous legal experts such as Portalis to complete the drafting!

This is the greatest revolutionary achievement of the magnificent French Revolution, and it is also the most proud achievement of Napoleon's life. From the day of his birth, it has radiated bright light.

Open the blue velvet cover, and you can see the name of the code. In the preamble of the code, there are 39 articles in the legend, which are different from the code that was promulgated after deletion.

On the last page of the code, you will also find a huge surprise, where there are the signatures of the four-member drafting committee headed by Portalis, as well as Napoleon's autograph! "

Before the words fell, the scene immediately boiled, and all the French people exclaimed excitedly.

"My God! The signatures of the four-member drafting committee, and the autograph of Napoleon, which has never appeared in other "Napoleonic Codes, have not even heard of it!"

"That's right, this is definitely the first time that this situation has been discovered. The "Code of Napoleon" in the National Library is only signed by Portalis!"

Amidst the exclamations, Martinez and Antoine both looked at Ye Tian, ​​their eyes filled with sorrow!

When they were in the underground secret room before, Ye Tian didn't show them the last page of the code, he just took a look at it and hurriedly closed the code!

How did they know that the last page of the Codex still hides such an important secret, can they not feel sad and regretful?

After calming down a bit, the French President gently opened the original "Code Napoleon" in his hand and began to browse the contents recorded in it!

Ye Tian clearly saw that the French president's hands were trembling slightly, which was caused by excitement!
