Chapter 30 The Unprofessional Lawyer

Zhu Youlang regretted it after asking, and thought to himself: "Did you think about scientists crazy? Newton was indeed born at this time, but he was only five years old. Moreover, he lived with his grandmother, how could he come to China?"

"No, Your Majesty, the noble emperor, I have never said such a person. May I ask, who is Newton?" Hatis asked.

"Is there a woman named Hannah Aiscu, whose husband is a pastor named Barnabas Smith?" Zhu Youlang asked again.

"no." Hatis spread his hands.

"Then you find a way to find these two people in the UK and tell them, and you will say that I welcome them to China. When I come to China, I will give them a noble life. However, the prerequisite is that I have to bring Hannah's son Isaac Newton." Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty, where are they from?"

“Wolthorpe Estate, Lincolnshire.”

"Your Majesty, are these two people very important?"

"These two people don't matter, but Hannah's son Newton is very important."

"Why is it Hannah's son, not Smith's son?"

"Smith is Newton's stepfather, and Newton's father himself died. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Your Majesty, I'm going to ask, how did you know them?" Hatis asked in confusion.

Yes, how could you, a Chinese emperor, know about a child in the countryside far away in the UK?

"Then what, I have had a dream. I don't know if it's accurate in the dream. Hatis, your curiosity is too strong. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, do you know?" Zhu Youlang said with a glaring glance.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will find them and bring them to China." Hatis saw the emperor glaring and hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"Is there any name Pierre?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Yes, your majesty, there is one named Pierre." Hatis replied.

"Is it called Pierre de Fermat?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Ah? Your Majesty, how do you know? He has just arrived in Guangzhou shortly." Hatis was shocked when he heard this.

"How is there?" Zhu Youlang was also very surprised: "Hurry, let him come to see me."

"Yes, yes..." Hatis hurried out to find someone.

The Pierre de Fermat mentioned by Zhu Youlang is the greatest mathematician of the French and contemporary times. What is very interesting is that this mathematician has a profession as a lawyer, and mathematics is just his hobby.

His experience is enough to show that he does not want to be a mathematician lawyer, he is not a good lawyer.

Hatis came back and brought one person. Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the man. He was in his forties, with golden curly hair, unshaven beard, thin and tall, wearing a very short robe, with a cuff that reached his elbow, and the hem was just above his knee.

It is not good for foreigners to wear Chinese robes. They are so fucked with this, and the thick and long hair on their arms are exposed, just like a monkey wearing a piece of clothing. No matter how you look at it, it is still a monkey.

Zhu Youlang was sure that this was the robe that Hatis borrowed for him temporarily.

"Hurry, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor." Hatis said to the visitor in English.

"It's alas..." The man said something. Zhu Youlang thought it should be French. If it was English, he could still understand a few sentences.

After the man finished speaking, he lay on all sides and kowtowed on the ground. The kowtowing action was like a robot, very mechanical and not natural at all.

"Puchi!" Zhu Youlang couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.

"Hatis, is he speaking French?" Zhu Youlang asked with a smile.

"Yes, your Majesty."

"Then ask him, is he a lawyer?"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty the Emperor, he is not a lawyer, but a mathematician found by the minister. He is the most profound in geometry." Hatis shook his head repeatedly, denying it all the time.

"Old Ha, he is a lawyer. Did you get a fake mathematician Meng Zhi?" Zhu Youlang saw that Hatis denied it, and he realized that he was afraid that he would blame him, so he tried his best to conceal Pierre's real profession.

"No, no, your Majesty, I dare not deceive you." Hatis refused to admit it.

"Oh, then if he is not a lawyer, I have reason to suspect that he is a fake mathematician. If he is a lawyer, I believe he is a mathematician." Zhu Youlang said: "Old Ha, have you never heard of it? Don't want to be a mathematician lawyer or not a good lawyer?"

"Ah? There is such a thing? Go to Your Majesty, I just said it wrong. He is indeed a lawyer." Hatis quickly corrected: "But, Your Majesty, his math achievements are very high, even higher than his legal achievements! I dare not be fooled by...you."

"Hatis, do you know that the crime of deceiving the monarch is to behead him?" Zhu Youlang asked with a deep face.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty! My little minister concealed the emperor's identity in Ferma, just because he was afraid that the emperor would punish him. However, his math achievements are indeed quite good." Seeing that the emperor had changed his face, Hatis hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time. If you have another time, I will definitely kill you! Get up and be your translator!" Zhu Youlang originally wanted to hit him, so how could he really kill him? Seeing that the effect was achieved, he ordered him to get up.

"Yes, yes..." Hatis quickly stood up and wiped his sweat.

"Ferma, why did you come to China from France?" Zhu Youlang asked.

Hathis quickly turned these words to Ferma.

After hearing this, Ferma spoke French, and as he spoke, he still burst into tears and started to cry.

"Your Majesty, he said that he was indeed a lawyer and he entered the Toulouse Parliament early as a senator. Later, he offended a local noble because of a lawsuit. So he fled to England in despair. When he was poor, he learned that the minister was recruiting talents. Because he was interested in studying mathematics in his spare time, he led his whole family on a boat and came to China."

"Ferma, your words are wrong. There is a word 'De' in your name, which means that you have aristocratic blood. How could you not be able to survive in France?" Zhu Youlang asked.

After Hatis translated this passage, Fermat raised his head, looked at Zhu Youlang with an incredible look, and said something excitedly.

"You know so much, great Emperor, your Majesty. Yes, my mother has aristocratic blood. My wife, my mother's niece, was named Luis. She had a love history with another noble when she was young. Later, Luis had a relationship with me and abandoned the man. Later, the man became the mayor of Paris and had great power, so he began to suppress us. We had no choice but to flee from France."

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he was so angry. How could foreigners lie so many times? He just said that he offended the powerful because of a lawsuit. It turned out that you took away someone’s wife and were afraid that they would take revenge.
