"Doing business? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Colonel Giovanni stared at the steward angrily and said hatefully:

"Last time, the matter between Count Falcone and I was brought to His Majesty the King. If the King knew that I was still working for you, wouldn't it push me into a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire?"

Louis XV was originally very dissatisfied with Duke Richelieu's interference in political affairs, and Colonel Giovanni could also understand the king's thoughts a little, so naturally he didn't

I would like to have no further contact with the Richelieu faction.

"Don't worry, Colonel." The steward in black crossed his legs and said calmly:

"This is not an errand to attack the embassy. It is just a simple matter. His Majesty the King will not know about it."

Before Colonel Giovanni could accept or refuse, the steward had already started talking to himself:

"There is a newspaper called the Observer. They have spread many unfavorable rumors about Madame Du Barry these days. I believe you should also know that the unrest in Paris is probably inseparable from these rumors."

Colonel Giovanni did not speak, but he also admitted from the bottom of his heart that what he said was right. The newspaper had been continuously reporting news about Madame Du Barry recently, which caused quite a strong response among the citizens.

Almost all of the arrested demonstrators, Colonel Giovanni, could find recent editions of the Observer from their residences.

Although from a professional point of view, Colonel Giovanni did not like this newspaper, which added endless troubles to his work; but from a personal point of view, Colonel Giovanni, who still had a sense of justice, still sympathized with the newspaper.

As for newspapers, there are not many newspapers in this era who are brave enough to expose the darkness.

"You!" Colonel Giovanni clenched his fists so hard that his joints crackled, his brows were knitted into a ball, and he shouted angrily in a low voice:

"I tell you! I don't care about this! If Monsignor Bonaparte hadn't issued a letter of understanding to me last time, my body would have been turned into half a bone. Just go back and tell the Duke of Aiguillon. At worst, he will transfer me to the Alps.

However, the steward in black remained calm and poured himself a cup of hot coffee. After taking a sip, he slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed at it:

"You'd better think about it, Colonel, your wife is so beautiful, and your children are so lively and cute. If you are transferred to Dauphine to guard the border area, who will take care of them...?"

Colonel Giovanni was startled, and then he realized that this was a naked threat. He suddenly became angry, punched the glass coffee table with his fist and growled:

"How dare you?!"

"We dare." The steward in black still took a sip of coffee and said calmly:

"If you refuse our request, the Duke will just find someone else to handle the matter. However, this will also let the Duke know that you betrayed him... In that case, you will soon have to pay the price.
