Struggle in Russia

Chapter 216 Bargaining (Part 2)

Li Xiao cursed the old fox in his heart, obviously Razumovsky is the kind of guy who won't shed tears when he sees the coffin, if you can't force him into a corner, he will definitely not give in.

This made Li Xiao a little embarrassed, because he didn't know what shady and deadly mission Uvarov had arranged for this guy. If his temptation didn't hit the nail on the head next time, he would definitely know what he was doing with his cunning. But bluffing, maybe even all the advantages obtained before will be taken into account.

Li Xiao had to make a choice quickly whether to accept it as soon as it was good or strike while the iron was hot.

After pondering for a while, Li Xiao decided to take a gamble. He snorted on purpose and reprimanded him: "Still making sophistry, if you don't play tricks, what are you trying to do? I really thought I didn't know Uvaro What mission did Earl Husband send you?!"

After a short pause, he said with a sinister smile, "You really think I don't know about the good things you did in Moldavia and Wallachia?"

As soon as this remark came out, Razumovski's complexion changed drastically. If he was just a little nervous just now, he is already sweating profusely. It is obvious that Li Xiao's temptation hit his vitals!

"This... this..."

Razumovski tried to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that all explanations were so powerless. He was dismayed to find that he was so passive when facing Li Xiao.

He asked very frustratedly: "You know everything?"

Li Xiaoxin said it was a fluke, and then replied contemptuously: "What do you think?"

Razumovski hesitated for a while and then heaved a long sigh. He probably felt that Li Xiao had lifted all his trump cards and knew that he had no way to continue bargaining and had to bow his head and admit defeat. How about this, I will actively cooperate with you to liquidate Berge, prevent Shuvalov from playing tricks, and even secretly tell you the people Count Uvarov contacted and the spies he sent, but you must guarantee that I will continue to serve as the Black Sea Fleet Commander, and those who don't immediately get rid of Count Uvarov..."

The more Razumovski talked, the more he lost his confidence. He felt that since they controlled everything, why should they give him such good conditions?

Little did he know that Li Xiao was also shocked. He was sincerely glad that he came to Razumovsky today, otherwise he would have known that Uvarov's old bastard was secretly messing with them. Today's trip was really too late. worth it!

Because of the huge gains, this made him feel a lot better about Razumovsky. He felt that this old slicker was still useful, and in view of his relationship with Grand Duke Constantine and Count Uvarov,

It seems good to have such a rebellious boy.

Li Xiao immediately grinned and said, "Count, you are really lucky, really lucky!"

Razumovski had no idea what Li Xiao was talking about, but to say he was lucky should be to let him go? Otherwise, why call him lucky?

"What do you mean?" Razumovsky asked tentatively, but Li Xiao replied after a moment of hesitation: "I can let you go, or I can persuade Grand Duke Constantine to let you stay in the In the current position, I can agree to your conditions, but what good will it do me?"

Razumovsky looked up at Li Xiao. He didn't have any special reaction. Instead, he felt that it was normal for Li Xiao to want benefits, because this is the custom in Russian official circles! If Li Xiao doesn't ask for benefits from him, he will be very worried if he feels abnormal!

Razumovsky smiled obsequiously and said: "You know, my position is not very lucrative, I can only honor you with 100,000 rubles, don't be too small, this money is what I have spent in the past two years You got it, it’s not that you didn’t know General Lazarev’s temper a few years ago, he hates the people below stretching out their hands indiscriminately!”

These words made Li Xiao sigh in his heart. Even this old fried dough stick knew that Lazarev hated to stretch out his hands randomly and knew not to scrape oil randomly. Now that it is in the hands of Berkh, there are no shackles. It has only been more than two years. Even Razumovsky could afford a hundred thousand rubles in bribes. How much do you think these bastards have made in the past two years!

But Li Xiao was unable to vomit these things anymore, who made Berge so human! It is simply unrealistic for you to expect him to be like Lazarev.

"This amount of money is not enough! Don't cry poor with me, I know exactly how much money Berge and you have made!" Li Xiao said harshly first, and then said: "But I'm not interested in these yellow and white things , as long as you can promise me a few things, I can guarantee that your life will be safe and you can continue to wear the official hat, how about it?"

Razumovski's Adam's apple twitched, obviously he was very hesitant, because only an old fritter like him knows that free things in this world are actually the most expensive! Sometimes he would rather spend more money, because money is a bastard, and the big deal is to earn it after spending it all, but once some conditions are agreed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for life!

He nervously raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao, the murderous look in his eyes told him clearly - there is no other way to go, either agree or you are dead!

Razumovski gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "What's your condition?"

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "First of all, from now on, you have to report to me every move of the Black Sea Fleet. I want to know everything about the fleet. I want to know everything about it. Anyway, you, the gendarmerie commander, can know it." I need to know!"

In fact, Li Xiao originally wanted to say: "You must tell me all the orders and every move of Grand Duke Constantine. I want to know all his movements!"

But when the words came to his lips, Li Xiao immediately realized that it was inappropriate. Saying so would reveal that he was actually not in the same way as Grand Duke Constantine. Ski didn't realize the problem. Although Li Xiao's request was a little too much, if the news was sold, he would sell it. It didn't matter!

Seeing that Razumovski agreed, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Secondly, you have to tell me the tasks that Count Uvarov entrusted to you in the future. Play tricks on me, and I will send someone to watch you!"

Razumovsky felt that this was a bit difficult. Didn't he let him be an undercover agent to betray Count Uvarov? The risk is too great...

But before he could speak, Li Xiao said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, and I will also give you an excuse to let Count Uvarov continue to trust you. With this, you can not only How about keeping the official hat and not offending Count Uvarov?"
