Make France Great Again

Chapter 948 Unlucky Sardinia

Hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's angry voice in the room, Pesini's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Anyway! As long as nothing happens to the emperor, their prosperity and wealth will be guaranteed.

In order to express his concern for His Majesty the Emperor, Pesini said to Jérôme Bonaparte in the room with a slightly anxious tone, "Your Majesty, I am Pesini! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Jérôme Bonaparte said calmly.

"God bless you, you will be safe for a few days!" Pesini quickly changed his tone of joy.

"However, Augusta was a little frightened just now!" Jérôme Bonaparte added again.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine too!" Augusta, under the influence of alcohol, said to Jerome Bonaparte with a slightly red face.

Later, Pesini, who was standing outside the room, asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he and Pierret could be allowed into the box. Pierret had something to report to them about the assassins.

Pierrette, who was standing behind Pesini, looked at his boss in confusion. He didn't understand why his boss wanted to trick him like this.

It's so pitiful that he doesn't know a single bit of information about the assassin.

After Sergeant Pierre told him the news of the emperor's assassination, he hurried over.

Now, except that four assassins assassinated the emperor, he knew nothing else.

"Come in!" Jerome Bonaparte said in his usual tone.

Immediately afterwards, Pesini and Pierrit entered the box.

The person who greeted him was the smiling face of Jérôme Bonaparte and the angry expression of Queen Augusta.

When Pesini saw this, he couldn't help but secretly thought: Not good!

Judging from the expression on Queen Augusta's face, it was inevitable that he and Pierret would be scolded by the Queen.

After all, the security of Paris has always been the responsibility of their Ministry of the Interior.

Now that there is such a big mess, how can they stay out of it?

Facing the unkind expression on Queen Augusta's face, Pesini could only lower his head and show a humble expression, so that Augusta would be a little restrained when she scolded him later.

He wanted to avoid being scolded unless he told Queen Augusta the truth about the assassination.

But if he does this, I am afraid that what awaits him is only to be dismissed from office and then marginalized.

A subordinate who cannot take the blame for his leader is not a good subordinate at all.

Between the two choices of dismissal and scolding, Pesini decisively chose to be scolded.

Sure enough, after Pierret closed the boxes again, Augusta began to reprimand: "Pessini, Pierret, what is going on with your Ministry of the Interior and the Police Headquarters?

Why did the assassin appear in Paris, and near the Opera House!

What do your police officers do for a living..."

Augusta's words were full of anger. This was the first time in her history that she had been so angry, "Mr. Pesini, you are also an old man who has been with the Bonaparte family for more than ten years!

Why did such a big mistake happen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you are in charge of? Now please give me a reasonable explanation! "

"Augusta!" Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly came to Pescinny's rescue: "Now that things have happened, what we should do now is not to pursue who is responsible, but to prevent the assassin's motives from being understood. .

Prevent this from happening again next time! "

"Jérôme!" Augusta heard this and turned his attention to Jérôme Bonaparte: "It's because you are too indulgent to them that they feel emboldened!"

"Me? Indulge?" Jerome Bonaparte touched his nose and said to himself.

"That's right!" Augusta responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with a firm tone, and then she pointed at Pesigny and Pierrette, "Pessini, starting from tomorrow, you don't have to go to the Interior Ministry. It’s over!”

After hearing the appointment of dismissal, Pesini's mind immediately buzzed.

Originally, he was ready to move a small bench to eat Marcel Jerug's melon.

Unexpectedly, now that Marcel Jerug's melons have not eaten, he has been dismissed from his post by the queen.

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

For a moment, Pesini wanted to tell Augusta that everything was created by your husband, Jérôme Bonaparte.

However, reason tells Pesini not to do this!

If he does this, he will be completely in danger.

Now, Pesini has no choice but to take the blame for Jerome Bonaparte. He believes that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte will not treat him badly: "As you command!"

"That's right! And you!" Queen Augusta pointed the finger at Pierret again, "Didn't you just say that you already know the assassin's information and motives? Tell me!"

"Your Majesty the Queen, I...I..." Pierret wanted to say that he didn't know anything, but now he didn't dare to say it at all.

"Speak quickly!" Augusta frowned and said to Pierrette.

"Your Majesty, Pierrette is a little nervous, let me report to you on his behalf!" Pesini saw this and hurriedly came to Pierrette's rescue.

"Augusta, let Pesini speak!" Jerome Bonaparte also said to Augusta.

"Pessini, speak quickly!" Augusta ordered Pesini unceremoniously.

Pesini told Queen Augusta the identities of the four Orsini men and the reasons for their assassinations.

After hearing this, Queen Augusta frowned and said to Pesini: "You are saying that the purpose of those regicides is to establish a unified Italy by destroying this empire!"

"That's right!" Pesini nodded, and then said with added embarrassment: "Among the four assassins, except for Orsini, who is a citizen of the Papal State, the other three are all Piedmontese."

"Piedmont? You mean the Papal State and Sardinia teamed up to assassinate us?" Queen Augusta asked Pesini.

"Your Majesty, that's not the case!" Pesini, who saw Augusta's mistake, shook his head and said to her: "Although Orsini said he was from the Papal States, he was once a member of the Constitutional Committee of the Roman Republic. .

Although the other three Piedmontese are also republican, they prefer to unify the Apennines with Sardinia! "

Now Queen Augusta finally understood what Pesini meant, "You mean the Kingdom of Sardinia has a connection with those assassins?"

"Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove it now, I think there must be some connection between them. Otherwise, it is impossible for three of Orsini's teams to be from the Kingdom of Sardinia." Pesini said with certainty. Having said that, he actually didn't know whether the assassin had any connection with the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Anyway, he only needs to slightly change what Jerome Bonaparte said before, and then tell Queen Augusta.

"Both the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Republicans deserve to be killed!" Queen Augusta said angrily.

"Queen, the Kingdom of Sardinia is our friend!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded in a low voice.

"Friend! Your Majesty, I have never seen a country that has swords against its friends!" Augusta retorted to Jerome Bonaparte.

"This matter has not really been concluded yet, we should not speculate!" Jérôme Bonaparte tried to dissuade him again.

"Things are already so clear, Your Majesty, you still have illusions about Sardinia!" Queen Augusta said to Jerome Bonaparte with some excitement, "Now, what I should do most is Just a question to Sardinia!”

Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said to Queen Augusta, "I think it's better to wait until everything is investigated clearly before drawing a conclusion!"

"Okay! Just do what you said!" Queen Augusta nodded, then turned to point at Pierret and said, "However, in this investigation, I don't want to see this guy again! He doesn't know anything at all. have no idea!"

"Just do what you said!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then he took advantage of the opportunity and said to Pesini: "Pessini, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service, as long as you investigate this matter. clear and direct!

I will reinstate your official position! have you understood? "

"Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate seriously!" Pesini responded decisively to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! Find a box and watch the show!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Pesini and Pierrette.

Pesini and Pierrit left the box. Pierrit showed a helpless expression on his face and said: "Your Excellency Pesini, I..."

Pesini looked at the unlucky guy in front of him, he sighed and patted Pierret on the shoulder and said: "Pierrette, take care!"

After saying that, Pesini walked away, leaving only the tearful Pierret standing there.

As time went by, news of Jerome Bonaparte's assassination slowly began to spread.

Minister of Justice Rouet, Minister of Public Transport Barroche, Minister of Foreign Affairs De Luyins, Minister of Finance Fuld and Minister of War Vaillant, Speaker of the Legislative Council Billot, etc., arrived at the Paris Opera House respectively.

Although they understood that the assassination did not cause any harm to Emperor Jerome Bonaparte, they were still eager to know the extent of Jerome Bonaparte's injuries.

Led by the owner of the Paris Opera House, this group of imperial officials were taken to the living room adjacent to Jérôme Bonaparte's box.

Then, Pio, Speaker of the Legislative Council, walked to the door of Jerome Bonaparte's box and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Jerome Bonaparte's voice came out again.

Pio, the Speaker of the Legislative Council, couldn't help but feel relieved. He opened the door and looked at Emperor Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta in the box.

"Your Majesty, the assassin didn't hurt you, did he?" Billo asked with concern.

"Not at all!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded, "However, three of my loyal soldiers were unfortunately killed in this assassination!"
