Chapter 203 Du Barrys Hope(2/2)
"Your Excellency Bonaparte..." the old butler said solemnly:
"I have just received news that hundreds of policemen have gathered on the streets of Paris. They have attracted the attention of many citizens in their arrogant way, and they have no hidden purpose... They said they are coming to search this mansion to investigate Mr. Du Barry.
's disappearance."
"Hundreds of police officers? What a big scene."
Lawrence took a sip of the broth slowly and said with a smile.
Grosso, Ya'an and Anna on the table couldn't help but put down their tableware and frowned at Lawrence and the old housekeeper.
"Hey, what happened? What police?" Grosso asked directly and carelessly.
"The Duke of Richelieu is making some moves."
Lawrence chewed the stew nonchalantly and said:
"It is said that hundreds of police officers were sent to investigate Du Barry's disappearance."
"You mean now? Hundreds of police? Darling, this is a bit difficult to deal with."
Grosso was stunned for a moment, then quickly scratched his head and said:
"That boy Du Barry is still unconscious in the basement. Why don't we move him away quickly? If it is confirmed that Du Barry's disappearance was caused by your boy, then we will not stay in Paris and flee back to Corsi."
Come on."
"No, there is no need to move. There must be a lot of eyes watching us outside."
Lawrence shook his head and said calmly:
"And remember what I said, I will block all Du Barry's avenues of escape, including the one he hopes for most."
Grosso took a breath, rubbed his head anxiously and thought for a while but still couldn't understand, so he could only smack his lips and said:
"Okay, then you want to...?"
Lawrence picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, then stood up and said to the two auditors:
"Sorry you two, lunch has to end early. Please go back to your room first."
The two auditors nodded quickly and stood up to leave. They did not want to get involved in the political struggles of these upper-class figures, especially after hearing that hundreds of police would soon surround the place.
After the two auditors left, Lawrence continued to give instructions:
"Yan, summon all precision shooters, distribute muskets and ammunition, and stand ready; Grosso, wake up Du Barry and take him to a room on the second floor so that he can see the situation outside; Anna, go back
Review your French homework in the room. Do you understand everything?"
The three of them nodded in unison to show their understanding, and then they all stood up and carried out Lawrence's arrangement.
...
"Well...I'm..."
Jean Dubarly woke up from coma again and slowly opened his eyes.
And he was shocked to find that the scenery in front of him was no longer the same dark basement.
"Damn, finally woke up."
Grosso slapped Du Barry on the head mercilessly, pointed to the window in front of him and said:
"Lawrence asked you to watch what's going on outside. Take a good look. There aren't many opportunities like this for you, huh."
"Outside...?" Du Barry put his eyes to the window in confusion, looking out of the gate of this mansion through the gap in the tightly blocked window curtains.
I saw that the usually deserted Champs Elysées had unexpectedly gathered a dark crowd.
It can be seen from the body orientation of the crowd that everyone's attention is focused on this mansion.
The most eye-catching among the crowd are undoubtedly the Paris police officers wearing black uniforms and wide-brimmed hats.
All of them were fully armed, carrying sabers and muskets on their backs. They lined up neatly, just like a small army.
And this small army is now tightly surrounding the mansion, as if it wants to capture a town within easy reach.
"God, that's...!"
Du Barry's eyes wandered impatiently on the Champs Elysées, and soon found the person he wanted to see most at the moment, so he couldn't help but exclaimed to himself:
"That's Count Falcone! I saw him, he came to rescue me! I knew I would be saved! I can get out right away!"
After saying that, Du Barry suddenly turned his head to look at Grosso, laughed crazily and said:
"Have you seen it! You inhumane pirate leader, you have been surrounded! In half an hour I will leave this hell under the protection of those policemen, and the next time I meet you will be in the dungeon
