Chapter 185 Okay, you did a good job(2/2)

"I heard that you were attacked on the way here?"

Of course, Louis XV would learn about what happened under his nose as quickly as possible.

Justice Maupe learned of the attack only after he followed Louis XV. He is still very confused now, who knows who dared to launch an attack around Versailles without knowing the truth.

Lawrence said after saluting:

"Yes, Your Majesty. Fortunately, I am not seriously injured."

Although Lawrence had already speculated on the mastermind of the attack, any accusation now in front of Louis XV would only sound like throwing dirty water.

As the ruler of Corsica, Lawrence was also very aware of the mentality of the superiors. They were basically unwilling to accept other people's opinions and would only accept the conclusions they drew themselves.

In other words, Lawrence had to make Louis XV realize that the mastermind of the attack was the best choice.

"Don't worry, Governor Bonaparte."

Although Louis XV had already learned the news in the morning, the mention of it still made him a little angry. He nodded to Lawrence and said:

"I have ordered the Royal Guard to investigate thoroughly. I will never tolerate such thugs raging on French soil!"

"This is also a gift to me, Your Majesty." Lawrence lowered his head respectfully and said.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After seeing that Lawrence did not use the topic to express himself, Louis XV could not help but look at him with a softer look. After all, he did not want to mention such a thing that would discredit his royal authority.

After giving Lawrence a unilateral guarantee, Louis XV looked at the boxes that almost filled the entire marble courtyard, frowned and asked:

"But, Lawrence, are you...?"

Lawrence did not reply immediately, but winked at his entourage.

After receiving the signal, the followers quickly opened all the more than 100 boxes.

"This is...?"

Even with Louis XV's status, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

The vast white area is like a large piece of snow, and almost the entire marble courtyard is dyed with this bright silver.

These newly minted silver coins looked very dazzling under the bright sun, and Louis XV couldn't help but squint his eyes. There was even an illusion that the marble courtyard was made of silver.

Even Justice Mopp couldn't help but stay on the spot for a moment. The scene in front of him was also something he had never seen before.

Lawrence then faced Louis XV, lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, according to the contract with the Duke of Choiseul, you now own three-eighths of the Corsica National Silver Company. This is the wealth corresponding to your share. In other words, this is your wealth."

Louis XV rubbed his sore eyes twice, suddenly grinned, walked to these boxes with a cheerful expression, personally grabbed a handful of silver coins and looked at them carefully for a moment.

Although the money was only a drop in the bucket to him, Louis XV was still very happy with it. After all, the money came from the hands of financiers who were already extremely wealthy.

On weekdays, Louis XV squandered national tax revenue, which naturally attracted criticism from many newspapers and the public. However, the money in front of him was legitimate royal income.

"Not bad, very good, Lawrence, you are really capable, great, you did a good job!"

Louis XV smiled and threw the silver coins in his hand back into the box, sighing from the bottom of his heart.

Especially when Louis XV thought that Laurence was still temporarily living in the Duke of Choiseul's mansion and did not even have his own place to live, but under such circumstances, he first transported the money to the palace, which made Louis XV even more embarrassed.

Wu was deeply moved by it.

"Loyal and brave, selfless and remarkable, your qualities simply move me, dear Lawrence."

Louis XV paced in front of these boxes and said excitedly.

"My pleasure, Your Majesty."

Lawrence smiled and nodded, and at the same time glanced at Justice Mopp, whose face was ashen, and said slowly:
