Struggle in Russia

The third prison in Kiev is not as mysterious as imagined, at least you can’t see three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry around the prison. On the contrary, just looking at the surroundings of the prison, you would think that this is an ordinary government office building .

This small four-story building looks inconspicuous. Except for the national flag at the door and the double-headed eagle emblem on the door wall, you can hardly imagine that this is the notorious third prison.

Of course, this prison is not big, and it will not hold too many prisoners. Because ordinary political prisoners or Liberals are just transitioning here. After being tried by the court, they will leave here, either sent to the execution ground or sent to Siberia, it's that simple.

Generally speaking, this type of prisoners will not stay for too long, because Nicholas I has zero tolerance for rebels and revolutionaries, and their trials are generally swift and vigorous. Unless it is someone who involves important situations or confidentiality, or who has a particularly sensitive identity, and Fioning belongs to the former.

It has been said before that he and his little friends are preparing to assassinate Nicholas I, and they have already put it into action. When the military police of the third department arrested them, they had already collected a batch of firearms and explosives, and if it was a little later, they might actually take action.

It is precisely because their action power was considered relatively strong in the Russian Revolutionary Party at that time, so Nicholas I and the third part paid special attention. Soon through interrogation or words and deeds to extract confessions, Nicholas I and the third part discovered that the things planned by this group of people were far from that simple.

They not only wanted to assassinate Nicholas I, but also conspired to get rid of Crown Prince Alexander at the same time, and even planned to prevent bombs at the State Council. Fioning's group was actually only responsible for one of them—that is, the assassination of Nicholas I.

There are other people responsible for solving Crown Prince Alexander and the State Council. The third part of Kiev did not find these people, and the only one who knew about these people was Fioning!

This is why Fioning has been locked in the third prison in Kiev. Bestuzhev Ryumin has been trying to pry Fioning's mouth open, but this Fioning organization is planning underground activities The level is average, but the mouth is really tight.

Even though Bestuzhev Liumin did not say a word during the torture, he was tortured to the point of passing out several times. Anyway, Bestuzhev Ryumin had a headache for him, because Nicholas I and Duke Ordorf had urged him several times to pry Fionin's mouth open as much as possible.

For example, today, Fionning just received another whipping, which almost beat him to pieces. He barely had the strength to walk, so two guards grabbed his arms and dragged him back to his cell.

When he was thrown in the musty cell, he almost didn't even have the strength to open his eyelids. He could only lie on the cold and wet ground and breathe more and more.

Fionin didn't know how long this torture would last,

Every day is a torment for him, and these lackeys of the third part will torture him in various ways, which has already left him bruised.

However, Fionin does not intend to give in. Although he is only a nobleman, he admires the Decembrist hero Duke Sergey Volkonsky the most. He can do what the Duke can do. !

Fioning propped up his upper body, slowly climbed to the wall, leaned on it and looked up at the cell's palm-sized window. He believed that one day the sun would pierce the sky and spread over all the land of Russia!

Looking at the charming sunshine, Fioning fell asleep unknowingly. He didn't wake up until the heavy cell door was pulled open. Looking at the jailer in black, he was a little strange: 【Does time go so fast? ? Is it a new day? 】

Fioning thought that a new round of torture would start again, but this time there were a lot of jailers coming in, and their expressions were a little strange. At least the look in his eyes was not quite right, as if something had happened.

But Fioning didn't bother to ask, because for him, he had prepared for the worst ever since he entered the third prison, either he would be tortured to death, or he would be executed by the impatient Nicholas I.

He reckoned that he had been arrested for a few months, and Nicholas I's patience should have almost worn out. I'm afraid he had already ordered him to be executed!

Fioning is not afraid of death at all, and even feels that death is a kind of relief. He believes that his sacrifice is valuable and can inspire thousands of latecomers to continue their sacred and great cause until the Romanov family is overthrown. brutal rule.

He greeted death with a contented attitude, like a saint who heard about his death in the morning and evening. He thought he would be dragged into the prison yard, not knowing whether the firing squad or the gallows were waiting for him. He personally prefers the firing squad, because he doesn't like the feeling of suffocation, or he took the road of revolution because he hated the suffocation of Nicholas I's totalitarian rule.

It's just that Fioning neither waited for the firing squad nor the gallows, but was dragged to the door, where a major of the gendarmerie was talking with a handsome young man. It could be seen that the major seemed to be full of doubts, constantly Asked questions, and the young man was also a little nervous, and some questions were answered stutteringly.

However, the major finally stopped the interrogation, and only sternly warned: "Mr. Felix Alexievich, I will warn you for the last time. Although there is nothing wrong with the warrant you brought, this Fior Ning is a crucial prisoner, you should know the nature of the prisoner! Once you find out later that you are playing tricks, no one can save you at that time!"

Speaking of this, the major became more and more severe, almost asking: "What is this warrant?"

The sternness of the Gendarmerie Major made Bruning feel at ease. He knew that he had no chance of turning back, and the only way to save his life now was to follow the script, so he waved his hands impatiently and said:

"Major, I have told you several times that this is the arrangement of His Excellency Fyodor Petrovich (Bestuzhev Ryumin). You have also seen that the effect of extorting confessions by torture is not good. The only way now is to Let him go, and use him as a bait to lure those rebels out! And now I am only carrying out the instructions of the major general... If you are really worried, then you don’t have to let him go, anyway, you will be responsible for the big things! "

The gendarmerie major finally hesitated. For him, as long as the warrant is real, he will have an explanation. Anyway, even if something happened in the end, it would be Bestuzhev Ryumin's fault, so he gave Brunin a hard look. , unwillingly ordered: "Let him go!"
