King's Landing in France

This morning, Robespierre is presiding over the National Assembly.

Suddenly a tall and thin citizen wearing a Liberty cap rushed into the meeting hall and shouted: "Marat has been assassinated!"

Robespierre scolded seriously: "Don't spread rumors, who are you?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, but I didn't spread rumors. I live next to Mr. Mara. I saw with my own eyes that the guards sent by General Frost to Mr. Mara ran to the City Defense Command to report the situation like a lost soul!"

Danton stood up: "Speaking of which, Mara did not come to watch the parliament."

Robespierre: "Calm down, Danton. Mara has guards sent by Frost. Let's wait for the official report from the City Defense Command. They will definitely report something like this."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened again, and it was Minister of War Lazar Kano who entered.

Kano had a serious face, and after scanning Danton and Robespierre in turn, he said: "According to the news we just received, the friend of the people, the revolutionary Jean Paul Marat, was just assassinated. The murderer was a lady."

As soon as the words fell, Talleyrand stood up and asked loudly: "What, it's actually a lady? So our friend of the people died of amorous debt?"

Talleyrand's words immediately aroused a discussion.

Because Marat is ugly, his death on the style debt will definitely become a strange story in Paris.

Someone muttered in a low voice: "Amorous debt? That Mara?"

"It's a lot of fun."

Robespierre knocked hard on the table: "Quiet! Be quiet! I believe in my friend Gao Jie's character, he won't die in debt of love! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Lazar Kano nodded: "Mr. Mala has made many enemies, and General Frost worried about his personal safety very early on, so he sent him guards.

"According to the guards, this lady claims to have reported the Girondin remnants to Marat.

"Mr. Marat let her into the room without suspicion. He was taking a bath when the assassination took place."

Kano's words caused another uproar: "I'm taking a shower!"

"You still say it's not a style debt?"

Robespierre: "Quiet! So Kano, are you sure he's gone?"

"Yes, I'm not breathing, and I'm afraid the best doctors can't do anything about it. We caught the assassin, and she stayed at the scene and didn't run away."

Robespierre: "Then bring her to Parliament immediately, and we will judge her!"

Robespierre looked unusually angry, his entire face flushed.The Incorruptible had never been so angry in the venue.

Lazar Kano nodded, then winked at the soldiers behind him.

So a woman in a blue and white striped dress was brought into the meeting room of the parliament.

When the woman entered the door, there was another discussion: "It's so beautiful."

"Mara is quite lucky."

Robespierre slammed the table hard, interrupting the whispers, then stared at the woman and asked, "What's your name? Who ordered you to assassinate Marat?"

The woman held her head high: "My name is Charlotte de Corday, and I am from Normandy. No one instructed me. I think Mr. Marat's radical measures are a bit too much, so I use this method to persuade him!"

Someone in the senator's seat immediately murmured: "Corday? Could it be the daughter of the lord of Corday in Normandy?"

Robespierre heard it clearly, and immediately pointed to Charlotte Corday's face and asked, "Are you an old aristocrat?"

Corday held her head high: "Yes! But I am also a republican! I have always been a loyal reader of the People's Friend, but recently there has been too much bloodshed, and many innocent people have been sent to the guillotine!"

Robespierre slapped the gavel and interrupted Corday: "No! In my opinion, we haven't killed enough, and there are still fish that escaped the net like you lingering! More resolute measures must be taken , clean you all up!"

Speaking of which, Robespierre looked around the entire venue, and loudly proposed: "The blood debt must be paid in blood, starting with Miss Corday, and capture all the enemies of the Republic hidden in the crowd. The only place for them to go is the guillotine !"

Robespierre has always been cautious and restrained before, and because of this, the effect of his anger is many times stronger than that of ordinary people.

For a moment, no one in the entire meeting dared to refute him, and even Bishop Talleyrand, who was always at ease, shut his mouth tightly.

Robespierre: "Now, let's start voting, Ms. Corday's fate is—the guillotine!"

**
It wasn't just Robespierre who was angry.

The people of Paris who learned that Marat, the Friend of the People, had been assassinated expressed their attitude with actions.

In front of Mara's apartment, there were piles of flowers sent by people from all walks of life.

The murderer, Charlotte Corday, was sentenced to death by the parliament that day and escorted to the Revolution Square, where the largest guillotine in Paris stands.

On the way to the execution ground, there were huge crowds of onlookers, and everyone spat on her in the prison van.

There were also children who greeted Corday with feces, and a ball of feces fell directly on her chest.

The crowd shouted angrily: "Execute her!"

When the prison van arrived at the Revolution Square, the whole square was crowded with people, and there were tricolor flags and red Liberty caps everywhere.

According to the general procedure, the death row prisoner can give a short speech before putting his neck on the guillotine. This step is to highlight the principle of fairness after the Great Revolution: even sinners have the right to express their opinions.

Corday faced the angry crowd and shouted: "I did this to stop the madness! You are all crazy!"

But the crowd retorted even louder: "She's talking nonsense!"

"We do not listen to the slander of the enemies of the Republic!"

"Gag her!"

The executioner stepped forward and forcibly dragged Corday, who was still speaking, to the guillotine, pressing her body down, and stuck her neck into the slot of the machine.

The band started playing.

At the last moment of her life, Corday shouted: "I curse you! Curse all crimes in the name of freedom!"

The executioner turned on the switch of the guillotine, the guillotine fell from the sky, and Corday's head rolled into the blood-soaked basket.

The people in the audience cheered.

Talleyrand looked at the fanatical crowd from the stands, shook his head slightly, and said to Fouche beside him: "It's over, I feel that Paris will fall into a complete frenzy. Would you like to go somewhere else to hide first?" ?”

Fouche nodded: "I think so too, so I'm going back to my hometown Lyon."

Talleyrand raised his eyebrows: "Leon...Say hello to General Frost's old father for me."

Fouche looked at Talleyrand: "Aren't you leaving, Your Excellency? People like you and me who are not in a hurry...No, even people with a clean background cannot guarantee peace of mind in Paris."

Talleyrand smiled: "I am going to London to perform a diplomatic mission."

Fouche laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's really you."
