Struggle in Russia

Chapter 384: The Price

Count Rostovtsev must have captured Petrovna, there was no doubt about it, because it was Anton who was responsible for the arrest.

After being arrested, Petrovna was very desperate, because she felt that she had fallen into the hands of the third department, and there was definitely no way out. After all, she knew too many Shuvalov's secrets, how could Shuvalov allow her to live.

She even thought of self-destruction in the prison car. Instead of being tortured to death by Shuvalov, she might as well give herself a good time!

It's just that she still doesn't have such great courage after all. The nostalgia for life has kept her alive, but she is still extremely desperate for the future.

But to Petrovna's surprise, after being arrested, although she was thrown into prison, her living conditions were not as bad as imagined. The single cell for women is fairly clean, the bedding and beds are considered clean, the cell is not so dark and damp, and the food is not bad, including white bread, meat and even wine.

Petrovna was very surprised. This was not the third prison she knew at all. He followed Shuvalov into that ghost place once, and the harsh living conditions there were simply outrageous. Anyway, that time Petrovna was so upset that she almost vomited.

It was not these that surprised Petrovna the most, but the interrogation. According to her understanding, these ruthless butchers and executioners will not be polite to her at all, as long as she is not honest, it is very likely that all kinds of torture will be performed on her one by one.

Although Petrovna was afraid of this, she still gritted her teeth and told herself that she had to persevere. After all, there was Grand Duke Constantine outside. If she confessed, although she could avoid the pain of flesh and blood, the future would really not exist.

Petrovna was ready to be tortured, but the first day of interrogation left her confused. Anton, who was in charge of interrogating her, only asked some routine questions, such as his relationship with Shuvalov, and Why did she assist the rebellious party to escape from prison, and where is the rebellious party hidden.

To be honest, these questions were too childish. Petrovna originally thought that the other party would ask some more pointed questions, or simply put shit on her. Could it be that the third part has changed sex?

But Petrovna didn't delve into it. For her, a minute counts as a minute. It's better to ask these pediatric questions than to be tortured, right?

She picked up some answers that she could answer, and tried her best to deny some questions that were unfavorable to her, but she didn't talk nonsense, and she didn't say that her actions were ordered by Shuvalov.

She felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this for the time being, and the most important thing right now was to figure out what kind of attitude the person who arrested her had.

That's the end of the first day of interrogation.

Although Anton told her that he was not satisfied with what she explained, he also bluntly said that she was concealing the real situation and warned her that she had better cooperate. But other than that, there is no real threat. Neither frightened her nor actually tortured her, it was like playing a house.

Petrovna was sent back to the cell unscathed, and got a decent dinner. At that time, she didn't have much appetite. After all, the future was uncertain and it was not clear what the man behind her arrest meant. She could eat It's weird to download something.

Not only did she not eat well, but Petrovna didn't sleep soundly. She was having nightmares all night. For a while, there was tiger stool chili water, and for a while, Shuvalov walked into the cell to strangle her. In short, she was scared It's enough.

Petrovna ushered in a new day with two huge dark circles under her eyes. As usual, she had white bread, eggs and milk for breakfast. She barely ate a little, but her appetite was still bad. Then she was not brought back into the interrogation room until nine o'clock in the morning.

As usual, Anton asked some new questions and repeated some old ones, but Petrovna still answered in such a perfunctory manner. This slow interrogation lasted for more than two hours, and it ended hastily again at 11:30. As usual, after being warned by Anton, he was taken back to the cell.

It didn't take long for lunch time to arrive, a combination of sturgeon meat, smoked sausage and white bread, and a bottle of white wine was lost. Although it's just cheap stuff, but considering being in prison, this kind of food is almost like heaven.

At least the prisoners in the third part that Petrovna had seen dreamed of such a meal.

Petrovna's appetite improved a little, mainly because she was not as nervous and frightened as she was when she was first arrested. And she didn't eat well for two or three meals. She was really hungry, so she ate a lot more this meal, and then her mind was full of questions.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, the attitude of the party that arrested her was really weird, according to her understanding, a suspect as important as her must be treated in full force, why did the other party seem to be doing a foreign job.

She didn't interrogate her carefully at all, and it was useless at all. She just asked some irrelevant questions over and over again. If she didn't answer the key questions, the other party didn't press her, as if she didn't care at all.

Petrovna was confused, especially when the new round of interrogation started after she finished her nap at three o'clock in the afternoon, it was still the same tone, and it ended hastily in almost two hours, and then dinner was on time.

Is this day a little too easy?

Petrovna never thought that being in prison would be so comfortable, shouldn't she be in constant fear of bitter hatred? How come she has this style of painting here? Could it be that this group of people are sympathetic?

Petrovna doesn't think her beauty has such a big effect. For the third part, beauty is nothing more than pink skeletons. Be polite to you.

So Petrovna was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, especially after the next three or four days of such a rhythm, she became more and more confused. Does the other party not want to investigate the case at all? Is it just perfunctory?

Of course, she knew that this guess must be wrong. She knew exactly how influential the Bestuzhev Liumin case was and how bad it was. Send them over to assist the imperial envoy?

If you think about it with your butt, you know that it is impossible for people to be perfunctory, otherwise how can you make a deal with Nicholas I? You can't go back and say: "Your Majesty, we have thoroughly investigated this case, and we have no clue at all, so let's forget it!"

No one would be so short-sighted. The nature of this case determined that someone must pay the price, and the price would be heavy, because this pot is not something that can be moved by small arms and legs!
