The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period following the French Revolution, specifically around the year 1800, during which the social and political landscape is rife with tension. The story centers on a variety of characters in the town of Chartres, including the protagonists, Lieutenant Vasseur and his companions, as they navigate events leading up to a public execution that serves as a grim spectacle for the gathered crowds. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in Chartres on a bustling day marked by a significant influx of people drawn by the anticipation of a public execution—twenty-three condemned individuals. Amidst this chaotic atmosphere, we meet three horsemen, led by a figure who identifies himself as "Rameau," who is later revealed to be Vasseur in disguise. As they approach the locally infamous inn, the "Bon-Repos," they encounter a mix of locals, curious about their intentions. Conversations allude to a notorious aubergist, Doublet, and the sinister connection to the day's festivities. The tension builds as Vasseur, under the guise of being an ordinary grain merchant, seeks to ascertain the whereabouts of the leader of a cruel band of criminals known as the "Bande d'Orgères," intertwining his personal motives with the greater narrative of justice and societal upheaval.
