"Chat... Oh, yes. ”

Ciro struggled to sit up, spat out a mouthful of sand from his mouth, which Yaan had swallowed when he had just thrown him directly into the sand, glanced sideways at Lawrence, and grinned miserably:

"I just want to ask one question, where the hell did I lose."

Lawrence did not look at him, but at the rippling blue sea in front of him, after so many days in Corsica, Lawrence has not been in such a relaxed state of mind now, to enjoy the pure sea that has not been polluted by industry.

Ciro waited for a moment, and seeing that Lawrence did not speak, he said to himself:

"I don't think you're more calculating than I am, but I still lost."

"I'll admit it, you're better at playing those little tricks than I am."

Lawrence, still looking at the sea in front of him, said:

"But you're counting on the wrong person."

"Object is wrong...?"

"You can only calculate people, but I can calculate people's hearts."

"The human heart..."

Ciro endured the pain all over his body, and turned his head to look at his dwelling, the church that was once considered a forbidden place by many Ajaccio people was now only a few stone pillars and walls.

The top of the tower that survived the shelling was also thrown by the crowd with torches, and now it is on fire.

Even if he stayed here, Ciro could faintly hear the wails of his men in the midst of the beating and trampling.

Ciro closed his eyes and fell backwards on the sand, he knew that it was all over:

"By the way, what did you show Paulie two days ago to make him decide to kill me?"

Lawrence picked up a pebble from the sand, threw it into the sea, and said in a slow voice:

"Nothing, a forged letter."

"What about the contents?"

"It's outrageous, to say that you will collude with the Genoese to invade Ajaccio from the sea, enter the Doge's Palace, and then be propped up as the new Doge and take Pauli's position."

"It's, only people with paranoia would believe it."

Ciro coughed violently twice and said with the blood in his throat coughed up.

"It's true, but everyone in a high position is more or less paranoid, and the higher the position, the heavier the weight."

Lawrence said indifferently, got up from the beach, patted the mud and sand on his clothes, looked at Ciro condescendingly and said:

"Of course, Poly won't have a chance to regret it, and neither will you."

After saying that, Lawrence turned around and patted Ya'an on the shoulder, and said solemnly:

"As agreed with you, he's yours."

Ya'an nodded, took the bloodstained sword, and walked towards Ciro on the ground.

Ciro lay on the ground, tilted his head back with difficulty, and took one last look at the reflection of Lawrence's back, and muttered with a smirk as if he was mad:

"Pasquale Pauli... You didn't realize it after all, it wasn't me who kicked you out of the Governor's Palace, it was this kid..."

......

The clashes in the church were nearing an end, the catacombs were diverted by patrols, and the building itself quickly collapsed under the blazing fire, leaving only a fragment of rubble.

Fortunately, Lawrence deployed patrols in advance to maintain order on the scene, and those who survived had been detained and protected by the patrolmen, and if they were left in this frenzied crowd, they would be covered in blood in less than ten seconds.

People gathered around the burning and collapsed church, excitedly throwing stones at the rubble.

It was the first time they had discovered that even poor people like themselves could unite to reduce what had once been a church to ashes.

Lawrence stood in the midst of the crowd, maintaining order, receiving the grateful and reverent gaze of the populace.

And just then, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the edge of the beach.

The sound of the horse's hooves was dense and heavy, it sounded like there were quite a few people, and the weight of the horse's back was not low.

Lawrence didn't turn his head, but listened for a moment to know who it was.

The only heavy cavalry that could be quickly mobilized in Ajaccio was the cuirassiers, which belonged directly to the Doge's Palace, and it was self-evident who they meant when they arrived.

I saw dozens of cuirassiers galloping towards the church, whipping their whips in the air, their sabers and pistols at their waists, and they were fully armed.

Seeing this, the people calmed down a little, and stood in place and watched these cuirassiers approach, this is the top combat power in the Wehrmacht, and no one will be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke them.

Lawrence surveyed the crowd of cavalrymen, numbering about fifty men, and it seemed that they were all dispatched.

"Everyone! Hold your head in your hands! Get down! ”

I only heard a cavalry leader take a few steps forward, and shouted at the people present, and the majestic voice like thunder suddenly made many people tremble.

Seeing that many of the people were still hesitantly standing still, the cavalry continued to shout:

"We have received an order that there is a riot near the headquarters of the dock workers' union, and we are here to suppress the riot and maintain order!"

Lawrence touched his chin, frowned and said to Old Sean on the side:

"It seems that our Governor Poly can't stand it, old Sean, you go forward to negotiate with him first."

Old Sean nodded, squeezed through the crowd in front of him, came to the cavalryman, bowed to the cavalryman on the horse, swept his cuffs with his peripheral light, and found that it was a captain, so he said:

"Valorant cavalry captain, the scene has been controlled by the patrol, and there is no such thing as a riot."

Although the patrol and the army are not the same system, they are all public officials after all, the cavalryman glanced at the uniform on the back of the old Sean, and his tone softened a little, but he still said sharply:

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's a riot or not, and today we must put the chief thug in a dungeon."

As soon as these words came out, the people present looked at each other in fear, the army's dungeon was not as merciful as the Ajaccio prison, and once they entered it, it was still a question of whether they could get out alive.

Lawrence, who was hidden in the crowd, frowned even more, he did not believe that Governor Pauli's character would use the army against the will of the people and blatantly capture these civilians.

Thinking about it this way, the decision to arrest people is probably the self-initiative of this cavalry captain, who thinks that he can curry favor with Governor Poly.

While Lawrence was thinking, the cavalry had already begun to move, and the original phalanx immediately dispersed into a huge circle, surrounding the people present.

Some of the civilians who were timid and wanted to leave were also frightened by the swords wielding their sabers as they approached the edge of the circle.

Seeing that several cavalrymen had dismounted and pulled out long ropes, and approached these civilians step by step, they only heard a sudden burst of shouting from the crowd:

"Wait!"

The civilians and cavalrymen present were stunned, not knowing who was so bold as to stop these murderous cuirassiers.

When I looked closely, I realized that it was Lawrence who slowly walked out of the crowd and came to the cavalry.

The populace looked at Lawrence expectantly and nervously, and for some reason when Lawrence Bonaparte came up to them, they felt at ease, as if they were in an impregnable fortress.

"You... You are Major Bonaparte, oh no, Lieutenant Colonel Bonaparte. ”

The cavalry captain was one of the six cavalry in Bastia, who was escorting Lawrence and Major Trefali to the site, so he immediately recognized Lawrence.

"Captain."

Lawrence was expressionless, and unceremoniously looked up at the cavalry captain on horseback.

His military rank was two levels higher than that of the captain, and both of them were soldiers under the Governor's Palace, so Lawrence looked like an order to him:

"What about your order for this operation? I want to verify. ”

The cavalry captain's pupils narrowed, and he had no idea how Lawrence had learned that he had not received any orders to arrest people, and that the orders given to him were simply to maintain order.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bonaparte ... This, this operation was urgent, it was authorized by General Pauly's password, and there was no official document. ”

The cavalry captain had no choice but to prevaricate, and said with a wandering look in his eyes.

"Really? I am a staff officer of the Governor's Palace, and I can meet the Governor at any time, and if you leave your subordinates here, you and I will go to the Governor's Palace to verify the content of the password, how about it? ”
