Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao said his request very seriously: "Tell all the secrets you know about Count Shuvalov, it is best to explain the relevant evidence and witnesses clearly. If you If you agree, we can continue talking!"

Petrovna was stunned, because when Li Xiao kept talking about Grand Duke Constantine at the beginning, she thought that Li Xiao should be the enemy of Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise he would not be so concerned about Grand Duke Constantine's every move.

She even vaguely speculated that Count Rostovtsev might also be the enemy of Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise Li Xiao would not be able to walk into the prison in the third department and instruct those gendarmes to kill her.

Moreover, after Petrovna was arrested, she vaguely felt that Count Rostovtsev was targeting Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise how could he release Count Shuvalov.

In short, before Li Xiao said what he said just now, Petrovna had almost determined that he and Count Rostovtsev were the political enemies of Grand Duke Constantine.

But what Petrovna didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, Li Xiao openly asked her for the handle on Count Shuvalov. What does this mean?

Petrovna was stunned for a moment, she felt that Li Xiao was a cloud of fog, she thought she saw the other person's face clearly, and then his face changed in the blink of an eye, so she was caught off guard, okay?

Petrovna felt that her mind was in a mess, trying desperately to think about what Li Xiao's words meant, but she couldn't figure it out anyway, and it was Li Xiao who interrupted her helpless efforts in the end.

"Don't you agree? Then we have nothing to talk about. Goodbye ma'am, I hope you can get used to the hard life in Siberia..."

"Wait!"

Only then did Petrovna wake up. At this time, the most important thing for her is not to worry about who Li Xiao is and what Li Xiao wants to do. The most important thing right now is to get rid of the current painful situation and try to find a way out. important!

"I promise you that I will tell you everything I know about Count Shuvalov. As for the evidence and witnesses you want, I can only say that I will try my best to provide them. After all, before that, Grand Duke Constantine had I took a considerable part of it, and I can't get it back for you!"

Li Xiao smiled with satisfaction. Petrovna's words did not surprise him at all. Ever since Anton told him everything that happened in Kiev during this period, especially the reaction of Grand Duke Konstantin, he had This kind of feeling-it should be that someone who knows Earl Shuvalov in particular told the Duke Constantine about the earl,

Otherwise, he couldn't have counterattacked so sharply and accurately.

When he discussed this issue with Anton and Count Rostovtsev before, the answers of the three were relatively consistent, and they all believed that Petrovna was the most suspected. After all, she is the only one who has recently taken refuge in Grand Duke Constantine, and she is the only one who knows Shuvalov best.

Now that this guess has been confirmed, Li Xiao feels that the reason why Grand Duke Constantine has been so active recently is probably related to his grasp of Count Shuvalov's deadly secrets.

It is very likely that Grand Duke Constantine will throw these chips to attack Shuvalov next. If he can know in advance what chips he has in his hand, it will be easier for Count Rostovtsev to deal with it.

After all, those handles of Shuvalov, especially those that are more fatal, may have a very bad impact. If they are not done well, they will cause a huge scandal, and Nicholas I's face-saving personality is definitely not willing to see his own country. A nasty scandal broke out.

If Count Rostovtsev does not respond well, it is very likely that the tsar will think that he is incompetent or incompetent. Even if Li Xiao does not agree with some of Count Rostovtsev's ideas, he still knows that today's Russia How important it is to have a smart guy like Earl as a teammate.

Naturally, Li Xiao paid more attention to this matter, and Petrovna did not disappoint him as expected, and they will be much more relaxed next time.

"Very good," Li Xiao gave her a chuckle, and then said grimly: "Now we can continue with the rest, ma'am, before that, I must remind you one last time, this is a deadly secret, if your next answer If you don’t satisfy me, then you will never see the sun tomorrow morning!”

Petrovna was taken aback, but now she had no choice but to fight, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "I understand! I will definitely satisfy you!"

Li Xiao snorted coldly: "I hope so, then I won't talk nonsense. To make a long story short, what I want you to do is very simple. If I give you a chance to be your courtesan again, I will I hope you can do something for me!"

Petrovna took a deep breath and asked, "What is it?"

"Help me monitor Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov, and report their every move to me in a timely manner!"

Petrovna opened her eyes wide, looked at Li Xiao in disbelief for a while, and then asked in surprise, "You want me to be your spy?"

"Yes!"

Petrovna swallowed. To be honest, she couldn't react, because when Li Xiao asked Count Shuvalov to find out, she thought that the other party might be Count Shuvalov's enemy, but now it seems that the other party is still Came for Grand Duke Constantine, seems to go back again?

But she immediately realized that the person who wanted to handle Earl Shuvalov was not necessarily an enemy of Shuvalov's group, but probably an enemy of Shuvalov's internal group. After all, the more you climb up, the fewer positions you have, and it is normal to find ways to solve competitors.

And she felt that the other party was a bit smart. Through her hands, she could not only grasp the handle of Count Shuvalov, but also monitor Grand Duke Constantine. That would kill two birds with one stone, okay?

After thinking about this, Petrovna relaxed a lot, at least she no longer struggled with it, for her, as long as she could get out of prison in one piece, she wouldn't bother to care what the other party wanted to do!

What's more, the opponent's means and strength are very powerful at first glance, and such a strong character means that there is an extra path in the future, and it may be possible to save lives in the future!

Petrovna immediately replied happily: "Yes, as long as you can let me out of prison innocently, I can be your spy to monitor the actions of Grand Duke Constantine, and I will never let you down!"
