Struggle in Russia

Unsurprisingly, the news of Peter Barek's arrest caused an uproar in Kiev. Conservative supporters didn't even understand what was going on, and then found that the parasols on their heads had been lifted off.

They didn't feel much when Peter Barek was around, and they always felt that his level was not good enough, but they immediately felt uncomfortable without Peter Barek.

Without those who can shield them from the wind and rain, they can only experience the vicissitudes of life by themselves. The first among them was the commander of the Kiev gendarmerie. On the second day after Peter Barek's downfall, he was invited to the office of Count Rostovtsev and was severely taught.

reason? Does it matter what the cause is? Even if he does everything well, can't he be picky?

What's more, this person's level is very average, and many things are in a mess. Naturally, he was found by Count Rostovtsev to doubt his life.

"...I only give you three days, within three days you must give me a result, otherwise I can only take compulsory measures against you!"

The poor gendarmerie commander was crying. He tried his best to raise his chubby head and pleaded: "Your Excellency, your request is too difficult. You also know how cunning these suspects are. They hide very deeply. Where is three days?" I can catch it!"

"Three days is not enough?" Count Rostovtsev sneered, and asked with a gloomy face, "Then how long do you need?"

The commander of the gendarmerie counted the sum secretly with his fingers. In fact, he wanted to say that even giving him ten days and a half a month might not be enough, and he even wanted to say that this task was impossible to complete.

"Can't finish?"

Count Rostovtsev sneered again: "If I can't finish it, then I can only replace someone who can finish it as the commander of the Kiev gendarmerie!"

The poor fat man was taken aback. It took him a lot of effort to get a lot of favors and money in exchange for this position. Although he has recouped ten times the cost in the past few years, how is this enough?

Obviously he just did something that no one else could do, why should he be dismissed? This is too unreasonable!

"unreasonable?"

It is the first time that Count Rostovtsev has seen such an interesting official, and even talked about rationality with his superiors, you are very un-Russian!

In Russia, the superior is the sky, the ancestor, and everything to you,

Dare to beep like this with the superior unless your backing is strong enough.

It's just that in the current Russia, there are not many backers who can be tougher than Count Rostovtsev, so talking to him like this is purely for fuss, and the count did not hesitate to smoke him:

"Then do you think it is reasonable to let the important criminals who endanger the safety of the empire and the rebellious party act wantonly? Or do you mean that you, the gendarmerie commander, are the accomplices and sympathizers of the rebellious party."

The poor fat man was terrified. The fat on his face was trembling, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from his forehead one by one. It could be seen that he was really nervous.

No wonder he was afraid, because Count Rostovtsev captured Shuvalov and arrested Peter Barek as soon as he came to Kiev. It goes without saying what the identities of these two are. Compared with these two This fat man is really a brother through and through.

Naturally, he was immediately discouraged, and could only cry and beg for forgiveness: "Your Excellency, listen to me, this case was originally in charge of Count Shuvalov, and he personally searched for the suspects. You suddenly asked me for someone, I really can't help it!"

Is this true? Be it, there are six or seven points of reliability. Shuvalov didn't even allow Peter Barek to intervene in the case, and naturally it was even more impossible for a mere gendarmerie commander to comment. After all, there are too many connections here, and it is impossible for Shuvalov to trust outsiders.

But if you want to say that this fat man can't do anything, that's also false. After all, there are only so many people in the third part of Ukraine, and it is impossible for all of them to go out and search for suspects all over the world. The specific search affairs must still be handed over to the larger number of ordinary police and gendarmerie.

And this fat man is the leader of these people, so if you say that he is completely unable to carry out his work, that is nonsense.

The reason why he only wanted to screw Shuvalov out to talk about the matter was actually to shirk responsibility and kick the ball.

It's just that Count Rostovtsev didn't like him at all, and he responded with two sentences: "Count Shuvalov has been dismissed for more than half a month, and you are always in charge of searching during this period. Work? You haven’t achieved anything for half a month, can’t you justify it?”

After a short pause, Count Rostovtsev said again: "What's more, as far as I know, although Count Shuvalov was in command of the search and arrest work before, you are responsible for the specific implementation. You, the person in charge, spent time and time again. I haven't found anything for more than a month, is this competent?"

There are more and more beads of sweat on the fat man's forehead, which shows how nervous he is now. He opened his mouth and continued to argue: "Listen to me, although I am responsible for the specific search and arrest work, it is not important to search wherever you go. Earl Shuvalov's command, the reason why there has been no harvest, is very likely that the direction was wrong at the beginning, and I am also very helpless!"

This is still kicking the ball, but he can't kick the ball away. Count Rostovtsev just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "You mean this is Count Shuvalov's problem." me?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment and then his face changed drastically, because he thought of a more terrifying possibility. If he really put all the responsibility on Count Shuvalov, it would certainly reduce his responsibility, but Shuvalo Count Husband, is that vegetarian?

Although he is now under house arrest and seems to be about to collapse, there are the Shuvalov family and Count Uvarov behind him. If they know that he "fell into trouble", they can forgive him lightly.

At that time, maybe Count Rostovtsev will hold him tightly, and the other Count Uvarov and other dignitaries will also yell at him, and nine lives will not be enough for him.

Suddenly he shuddered, and quickly explained: "No, no, no! That's not what I meant. After all, the suspect is very cunning, and Earl Shuvalov has done his best to arrange everything he can, and the whole city The big manhunt has never stopped, I can only say that these suspects must have been prepared, they are too cunning!"

Count Rostovtsev knew that this guy would go round like this, he knew that this fat man didn't dare to offend Count Shuvalov to death, but it was meaningless to do so, it was just a dying struggle!
