Struggle in Russia

If Count Vladimir was not the illegitimate son of Nicholas I, no one would really kill him. But he happened to be the czar’s son, even if he was a son who could not be exposed, no one could afford to offend him.

Of course, Li Xiao was not worried about what would happen if he offended him. His relationship with Nicholas I had long since been terrible. What about the public tearing of Count Vladimir?

What really embarrassed Li Xiao was that he would make Alexei very embarrassed. After all, Alexei has not publicly offended Nicholas I. Even in the mind of Nicholas I, he is still “a competent official”. If nothing happens, his future is still very secure.

If Li Xiao publicly tore up Count Vladimir, how would the governor Alexei express his position? If he expressed his support for Li Xiao, it would expose his relationship, and Nicholas I will definitely clean him up next. At that time, let alone continue to be the governor, it is a blessing not to be sent to border exile.

What’s more, all this good situation in Wallachia will be ruined. It took him and Alexei for a long time to have this family business. Could it be ruined like this?

Anyway, Li Xiao couldn’t bear it. At this time, he deeply realized how correct the sentence of barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. It’s easy to start a business, but it’s hard to stay in business. It didn’t matter how they used to toss when they didn’t have these altars, because they were barefoot at that time, but now they put on comfortable leather shoes, and it’s completely impossible for them to make trouble with their bare feet. Up.

Li Xiao could only say helplessly: “Let’s take a look first, if that **** must make trouble with us, I will find a way to clean him up!”

Alexei quickly said: “Don’t be so anxious, I’ll talk to him first. If it doesn’t work, I will give more money. As long as he is willing to collect the money, the problem is not big!”

It’s just that Alexey never thought that Count Vladimir was already holding back his energy to make trouble with them, because he was too jealous of Alexei’s position, because according to his knowledge, there was a Bucharest defense commander. The benefit of earning 200,000 rubles a year, the Governor of Bucharest cannot earn 2 million a year.

Two million rubles! With such a large sum of money in front of him, he can’t buy anything he wants to buy. It’s still a year. He thinks it’s not difficult for him to work in Bucharest for ten years with his background?

That is 20 million rubles! When 20 million rubles tempts you, no matter who it is, I’m afraid it will be tempted, not to mention he is such a greedy silverfish!

“The governor would you please?”

Count Vladimir was dismissive of Alexei’s invitation. Although everyone was an earl, he felt that his status was much higher than that of Alexei. If a governor and Count in St. Petersburg would like to invite He, that is really a dream!

But Arkady persuaded him: “Why don’t you go and see, Earl Speransky suddenly invited you to a banquet, there is probably something to say!”

“Anything to say?” Count Vladimir was lost in thought. “What is it?”

Arkady sneered and said: “There are no more than two possibilities, one is to buy you, the other is to beat you to warn you. Of course, there may be both!”

[Buy me? 】

Count Vladimir sneered. Is he the kind of person who can be easily bought? Of course he may have been before, but now he has 20 million rubles at his fingertips. Wouldn’t he be a fool if he didn’t ask for those 20 million!

As for beating him. Count Vladimir was even more dismissive of this, his identity and background, how can a mere governor be able to frighten him!

Suddenly he said contemptuously: “Then I will go and see what tricks he does!”

Count Vladimir was very proud and arrived at the Governor’s Mansion with a superior posture. He dismissed everything about the dinner and the ball, as if they were so influential.

Such an attitude is naturally very unpopular. Many aristocrats whispered privately and were very upset with Count Vladimir’s arrogance. Such a voice can’t hide from Arkady’s ears, and he will naturally tell Count Vladimir about the performance of these people.

The latter was very contemptuous of this, and saw him wave his hand disdainfully: “It’s just a group of chickens in the country, just treat them as flies, don’t care! The big deal will replace them all in the future, I believe that. Let them be honest!”

He said it casually, as if he had the power of life and death, and he could ask and ask Wallachia. What’s more funny is that neither he nor Arkady thinks this is big talk, but thinks it’s normal.

“Arrogant!”

Alexei quickly heard someone’s rhetoric, which made his impression of someone even worse. Because only those idiots who don’t know the height of the sky would speak like this. You really think Wallachia is a dish, do you think you can eat it if you want it!

However, Alexei still suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: “Please come to my study to speak, count!”

What Alexei didn’t expect was that Count Vladimir really didn’t pay attention to him at all, and acted casually to his invitation: “Let the governor wait a while, I didn’t see me. Talk to some ladies!”

This **** embryo was fascinated by a few celebrities, and his eyes were reluctant to move, no matter how much Alexei’s invitation was he could take care of, not to mention that he didn’t take Alexei seriously and let him wait. It is more natural. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

After making Alexei wait for half an hour, this one ended his flirting and walked into Alexei’s study a little bit unsuccessfully.

“Sir, I heard that you are looking for something to do with me?”

As soon as he entered the door, Count Vladimir sat down at the coffee table with a grin, lit a cigarette on his own and began to swallow the clouds, a bit more casual than the master Alexei.

This made Alexei even more angry, but seeing the hard-won situation of his Lao Tzu and Wallachia’s current good situation, he still resisted it.

“Earl, you are here for the first time. I am worried that you are a little uncomfortable in life. After all, Bucharest and St. Petersburg are very surprised, and the customs are different. As my important assistant, you will have to cooperate with me in the future. I will naturally care more. “

Count Vladimir hadn’t heard the point of Alexei’s remarks at all. He thought it was Alexei’s expression of intimacy, so he proudly said: “Although Bucharest is very backward here. , But as a courtier of your majesty, I naturally have to share my worries. It’s not a big deal to suffer a bit. It’s just that you’re too slack, count. You’ve been here for a few years, and you haven’t done anything famous. Trust!”
