Chapter 324 The second confrontation(2/2)
"But have you forgotten one thing? If someone is suspected of manipulating Colonel Giovanni... then the biggest suspect is yourself, the Duke."
Amidst the astonished expressions of Duke Aiguillon and the ministers, Lawrence chuckled and explained:
"As early as a year ago, it was this Colonel Giovanni who, together with your nephew, Count Falcone, broke into our Corsican Embassy; he later even took away the investment property of our Corsican Silver Company.
It was smashed and confiscated, and it seems that the reason why Colonel Giovanni raided that property was also for you, Your Majesty the Duke."
Duke Aiguillon's pupils shrank and all the muscles in his body tensed.
Lawrence smiled and sighed to himself:
"The colonel even made me sit in a prison car in humiliation. Considering the conflict between you and me, is this also what you ordered Colonel Giovanni to humiliate me? Your Majesty, and everyone, these things are terrible.
The evidence is verifiable; Your Majesty, Duke, I think that Colonel Giovanni is your confidant, right? If someone really secretly controlled the police force on the morning of the 19th, you should be the biggest suspect, right?"

The Duke of Aiguillon tried his best to argue, but found that any defense seemed feeble at this moment.
The relationship between Colonel Giovanni and the Richelieu family is no secret. A little investigation revealed that this colonel was promoted by the Richelieu family, so it is conceivable that he must be a member of the Duke of Aiguillon.
Even Louis XV's expression became a lot weird after listening to Lawrence's self-narration. He secretly wondered whether it was the Duke of Aiguillon who allowed the riot to occur, but he was obviously a major victim of the riot.

"Okay! Armand, stop making these childish accusations against Lawrence. I'm tired of it."
Louis XV, who had a splitting headache, didn't want to do any complicated thinking anymore, so he drove the Duke of Aiguillon back to the team and ordered at the same time:
"Anyway, that incompetent Albert Giovanni is the main culprit. If he had dealt with the initial mob in time, none of this would have happened. Come here, give me my order and we will kill him immediately.
Albert Giovanni is thrown into prison, awaiting punishment!"
Even if he decided not to pursue the violence in Paris to the end, Louis XV still wanted to punish a group of those directly responsible. This was an explanation to the outside world and other courtiers, and it was also the most basic principle for a ruler to distinguish rewards and punishments.
Colonel Giovanni is undoubtedly a candidate.
However, before the herald could take two steps, the police lieutenant general suddenly interrupted:
"Your Majesty, please allow me to say one more thing. Colonel Giovanni has committed suicide. The night before yesterday, he sent a suicide note, saying that it was his dereliction of duty that caused the palace to be desecrated. He was willing to die to apologize. He should have placed a
He set fire to himself and burned himself to death. We found a completely charred corpse in the ruins. Although the face could not be identified, there is no doubt that it is Colonel Giovanni."
Louis XV frowned, looked dazed for a long time, sighed and shook his head:
"That's all, he is still a self-aware man, so don't hold him accountable for his fault. Treat him as if he died in battle and bury him."
