After reading Robespierre's manuscripts and notes, and Dandong's execution order, Xiao Ran discovered a lot of very important historical documents.

These include some important documents formulated and released by the National Convention and the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution, as well as some internal documents of the Jacobins.

Without exception, these historical documents are very important. They are first-hand materials for studying the French Revolution, and they are enough to rewrite local history.

In addition to these historical documents, there is also a French sheepskin map hidden at the bottom of this cylindrical secret compartment.

The moment he saw the sheepskin map, Xiao Ran felt excited again.

In a moment, Xiao Ran had thoroughly looked through the apartment where Robespierre once lived, not missing any corner.

He has mastered all the secrets hidden in this apartment.

Afterwards, he calmed down a little, then stepped forward and continued to explore the secrets hidden in this apartment building.

In several other apartments on the third floor, as well as in many apartments on the remaining floors, he discovered some hidden compartments and sandwiched walls.

In a utility room in the basement, he also discovered a small, unknown secret room, just below the utility room.

Unfortunately, most of these places are empty with nothing inside.

The few hidden compartments and walls that hide things are just some historical documents.

These historical documents all come from the French Revolution and were left by members of the Committee of Public Safety.

In that turbulent and bloody era, even members of the Public Safety Committee, who held the power of life and death for countless people, were in danger!

Maybe at some point, they will be guillotined by their political opponents or even their friends, and cut off in two!

The most vivid examples are Danton and Robespierre, the top leaders of the French Revolutionary Movement!

These leaders who set off the wave of the French Revolution were sent to the guillotine one after another and had their heads chopped off, not to mention the others!

In this case, the members of the Public Safety Committee who lived in the apartment building were forced to develop the habit of hiding various important documents and notes.

The historical documents and materials hidden in those secret compartments and walls were preserved and not destroyed by the enemy!

More than two hundred years have passed, and these precious historical documents have become so cheap to Xiao Ran!

In addition to these historical documents, Xiao Ran also found two oil paintings in the wall of an apartment on the second floor.

Those are two works by top art masters, each of which is worth a lot of money.

Their discovery made Xiao Ran excited for a while.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the apartment manager and security personnel, Xiao Ran did not go to the first floor. Instead, he stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked through the apartment on the first floor and the basement from a high position.

Then he opened an unused apartment on the third floor, then entered the apartment, stood at the window and quickly looked through the back garden and parking lot.

In these places, he made some discoveries.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

After exploring the entire apartment building without anyone noticing, Xiao Ran returned to the apartment where Jeremy rented.

Seeing him coming back, Jeremy immediately asked excitedly:

"Sean, what did you find in this apartment building?"

"Are there really unknown secrets and treasures hidden here? Are they secrets or treasures about Robespierre and the Jacobins?"

Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then smiled and said:

"So far, I haven't discovered any major secrets or treasures, but I think this apartment building is still worth exploring!"

“As far as I know, during the French Revolution, this apartment building was one of the headquarters of the Committee of Public Safety!”

"Many members of the Committee of Public Safety, including Robespierre, lived in this apartment building!"

"In that era of extreme turmoil, many people had the habit of hiding secrets, especially members of the Public Safety Committee!"

"It is based on this consideration that I decided to buy this apartment building secretly and then find a suitable time to explore, hoping to find something!"

Hearing this, Jeremy was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, Sean, I'll listen to your arrangements. What should I do next?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and then gave the answer.

"You don't have to do anything, just live here and be a good spy and agent."

"You don't even have to stay here at night, just come here during the day. Make sure you have a good relationship with the apartment manager."

"My acquisition of this apartment building must be kept strictly confidential and must not be known to the outside world, otherwise I will never succeed!"

"Once the news that I want to acquire this apartment building gets out, the prince of Qatar and the French government will definitely guess my purpose, and it will be completely ruined!"

After the words fell, Jeremy nodded immediately.

"Okay, Sean, I know what to do."

"Don't worry, in just two or three days, I can become brothers with the administrator downstairs."

"I could get all the information about this apartment building out of him!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.

"I just sent you to do this because of your social skills."

"After this is done, you will get a pretty generous bonus!"

"Wow! That's great, that's what I wanted to hear the most."

Jeremy cheered directly, his eyes shining with excitement.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran left here and prepared to visit the next destination.

When he and Jeremy came down from upstairs and passed through the lobby on the first floor, the apartment building manager and two security personnel who were downstairs only glanced at them without raising any suspicion.

After coming out of the apartment building, Xiao Ran got straight into the car parked on the roadside and drove away.

After watching him leave, Jeremy turned and walked into a cafe not far away.

When he came out of the cafe, he already had several cups of steaming coffee in his hand, as well as two boxes of Rose de Rance, the cafe's homemade biscuits.

After entering the apartment building, he immediately handed the coffee and cookies he just bought to the apartment manager and others.

Effortlessly, he became friends with these guys and started laughing and chatting.

The other side.

Xiao Ran drove directly out of Avenue Saint-Michel, then left the Left Bank, drove across the Seine River, and drove straight to the Red Building in the Eighth District.

After a while, he drove to the vicinity of the Arc de Triomphe.

The Arc de Triomphe today is much calmer than when I first came to Paris. No one was protesting or fighting with the police here!

When passing the Arc de Triomphe, Xiao Ran glanced at this landmark building in Paris, and then continued driving.

After a while, he arrived at the street where the Red Building was located and found a parking space on the street and stopped.

After parking the car, he did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he sat in the car and looked at the famous red building.

This red Chinese-style building was built by the great traitor Lu Qinzhai when he was in his forties, symbolizing his flourishing antique business at that time!

In the field of antique art collection, this red building has had infinite scenery, and almost everyone knows about it!

Nearly a hundred years later, this building has lost its splendor.

The great traitor Lu Qinzhai who built it was nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
