The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 19: Francois

Without rushing to find the person in charge, Alfonso saw on the right side of the hall, a girl who was responsible for guiding passengers was watching them all the time.

"Hello, do you remember me? I was here more than ten days ago." He stepped forward and asked.

The girl nodded blushing.

"There were a lot of newsboys here when I came, how about them?"

The girl glanced at him, a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, she whispered: "It's gone since the day you came."

Alfonso took a deep look at the girl, and did not continue to force her. The other party should have taken a lot of risk to answer the conversation with him.

The answer was not beyond his expectation, and he recalled how excited François was when he got 100 francs.

François mostly belonged to a gang, wanted to escape and then failed.

In Paris in the 19th century, there were no large-scale underground societies. There were still many gangsters who engaged in petty theft and abducted children and women.

Later generations of movies and TV series often broadcast this kind of plot, and there is nothing new.

Later, they found the person in charge for questioning and confirmed this speculation.

At first, the other party pretended not to know anything, but after taking four to show his identity, he said everything.

"They are all under the boss of a black boss named Ba Ye. Ba Ye has about ten thugs, twenty or so newsboys, stray warblers and beggars. They have been in this business for more than 20 years. It is said that even the police have something to do with them.

It's really not that I want to shield him, mainly because I, as the person in charge of the station, must first ensure the operation of the station. Maintaining justice is not my strong point! "The person in charge said with a sad face.

Alfonso hasn't said anything yet. Taking four is already extremely angry. There is no king at the feet of the emperor, and the collusion between officials and bandits. The most important thing is to let foreign friends see it. It's worth it.

He glared at the person in charge, "I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Then he turned his head and said loudly: "Alfonso, go, let's save people."

But now Alfonso didn't want to get involved in this matter. He always felt that being a righteous policeman was a bit stupid, not to mention that he and François were not very familiar.

He slowly said: "Why call the police, otherwise, why do you keep the police?"

"Did you not hear that the Eighth Master is also in collusion with the police system? It's a horror!"

Alfonso was a bit helpless. He always felt that the Bonaparte family members were a bit reckless, and his head couldn't turn around: "It's just an ordinary black boss, how much money can someone make?

At most, he has something to do with the vice president of the branch, and the president doesn't bother to pay attention to him. Can the crown prince personally interrogate him and still have problems? I caught someone for you within 3 hours. "

Nasi was silent, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "No, I have to go personally. At most, the police can help me catch that **** and it's over.

I may be able to catch more bad guys if I go there in person, all for my people. "There was compassion and dedication on his face while speaking.

Alfonso rolled his eyes, knowing that this was the adventurous bloodline of the Bonaparte family again, and he was clearly talking about it for fun.

"If you like to be a hero, do whatever you want. There is no horse racing so late, I'm going to find someone to play cards."

"Napoleon? Take me one." Napoleon changed his expression and followed him grinningly.

"Aren't you going to save the people?"

"It's been ten days, not bad this day, first play cards."

It should be said that taking four is really energetic. Yesterday, a few people played cards until 2 in the morning, and Alfonso's physique superman is fine. Taking four can actually get up to 6 o'clock in the morning exercise.

After the morning exercise was over, Nasi told Eugenie about this. The queen was also a man with a sense of justice. She agreed to take the four to ask for leave to arrest people, but she had to bring the palace guard and a high-level police.

The efficiency of taking four was beyond Alfonso's expectation, and he returned with François before he finished lunch.

The newsboy who hadn't seen him for a long time had no obvious injuries on his body, but his expression was very haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight. You should know that he was already very thin, and now he has almost only bones.

The hair has just been washed, and the clothes are all court clothes. Obviously they have just changed. I don't know how tortured before.

"His Royal Highness Alfonso." François, who was very shrewd at the time, was about to cry when he saw Alfonso.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Alfonso stepped forward and gave him a hug.

Taking four from the side to look at it was not a taste, and pulled them away, unhappy and said: "I saved the people, how come Alfonso saved you."

"Of course, you are most grateful, Your Highness Eugene."

Take Si from the nose and hum, turn his head to show off to Alfonso, "You know, when we went, this guy and a few other people were locked in a small dark room. They were hungry five times in two days and saw me. It’s like seeing the savior..."

In the show off of taking four, Alfonso learned about François's experience in this period of time.

François was an orphan. He was bought by Ba Ye in the orphanage. He thought he would have a good life, but Ba Ye just used them as a tool for collecting money.

A girl who is a wandering warbler is not the senior war warbler in the passionate album, but the lower war warbler serving labor.

The boy is clever and becomes a newsboy, but when he reacts slowly, he unloads some parts and becomes a beggar.

As the most valued newsboy, François has a better life, but he can't talk about it.

What is even more uncomfortable is that François has a brother, a foolish brother, who is also under Baye.

Although the two usually don't communicate much, they are the only relatives after all. This time François ran back to redeem him, and was imprisoned tragically.

Alfonso frowned after listening, and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me that you ran back?"

François whispered: "After all, this is the first time we met. If you think my life experience is troublesome, I will lose this opportunity to change my destiny.

And Ba Ye told us before that 50 francs for a beggar and 200 francs for a newsboy can redeem him. Adding to the fact that Ba Ye is still making do with me, I believe him this time. "

"I gave you 100 francs. Where did the other 150 francs come from?"

"My own wages are only 15 centimes a day, and I save all of them to buy food, but some kind people will tip me and secretly saved it after working for so many years. Baye should have known it before, but I just didn't care. That's it, but this time he used this as an excuse to detain me, saying that I had stolen his money."

Take Si on the side and added: "The eighth master said that the reason why he didn't let him go was because the coachman you hired when you entered the city said that you are the prince of Spain.

He was worried that François would fly into the sky with you, and remembered how he had maimed his brother, and got rid of him.

It's also a bet that you don't care too much about the newsboy you met by chance. "

Alfonso touched François' head pityingly: "It's okay, follow me in the future."

François was grateful to the two of them, but neither of them cared about him very much, and he was a poor man who was not qualified to study with them.

So Alfonso arranged for him to follow Zana to learn business matters, and also hired him a tutor.

François didn't let him down. He went to class in his spare time, but his learning speed was far faster than taking four.

And after eating up recently, it looks even better than taking four.

Add two by two, even if you take a four, you look at him, and occasionally call him if you miss one of three in a card game.

This incident gave Alfonso a wake-up call to the turbulent 19th century orphans. It is necessary to open some orphanages in the future. Whether you are engaged in intelligence or being an official, you need these loyal and loyal people who have been cultivated since childhood.
