Struggle in Russia

After a long period of contemplation, Lavre finally made up his mind. He was determined to take a gamble, not only because Prozolov looked very confident, but more importantly, he knew that Petrovna and he did not have much choice-Kang Archduke Stantin is actually their last straw.

“My mistress has always served Count Shuvalov…”

Lavre spoke slowly. He didn’t talk about the request first, but talked about what Petrovna had done for Shuvalov in the past.

This is a very clever method, because if he asks directly, one does not fully demonstrate Petrovna’s value, which makes him at a disadvantage in subsequent bargaining.

The second is that he does not want to follow the rhythm of Viscount Prozolov. Lavre, who has always been very keen, has a clear understanding of this. He knows that he has missed the timidity just now. If he follows the opponent’s rhythm again, he really does. There is nothing left.

“Count Shuvalov once promised my mistress that as long as she can help him solve Bestuzhev Lumin, then he will help my mistress enter the upper class circles of St. Petersburg. My mistress Always eager to have a bigger stage to display her talents, her ability is too weak in Kiev…”

This paragraph is still very skillful. It not only cleverly shows Petrovna’s identity and status next to Shuvalov and what he has done, but also vaguely points out Petrovna’s interests. what.

This statement made Prozolov also admired Ravre. If you want to use a word to describe Ravre’s just method, it is to moisturize things silently, seemingly ordinary, but put all the points clearly. After it came out, this level is higher than that of the average mayor in Russia. Those fools often talk about it and make people confused about the point.

“It’s just that my mistress overestimated the reliability of Count Shuvalov. This person is even more greedy than the wealth wolf. She even took this opportunity to get rid of Bestuzhev Lumin and my daughter in one fell swoop. Master. Fortunately, she had kept an eye on her before and made preparations earlier, so that she was lucky enough to escape…”

Prozolov listened very carefully, because this paragraph involved the core of Shuvalov’s strategy. Although the third part of the investigation was conducted carefully afterwards, the conclusions reached were far from the description of Lavre.

Even Prozolov felt that the investigative report was very nonsense. In his opinion, it was mostly because Peter Barek and Count Shuvalov exerted pressure or used a pretense to mislead them.

And now that Lavre interviewed the client to describe the real situation at the time, Viscount Prozolov listened very carefully, and stopped to ask some questions from time to time:

“You mean that after your mistress killed two of Shuvalov’s men, the convoy that escorted Fionin in front of them went wrong. They were attacked and Bruning and Fionin were both taken away? ”

Lavre nodded and said: “Yes, she said that. She was also surprised at the time, and she didn’t understand who attacked the **** convoy, because according to Count Shuvalov, he did not intend to spare Fio. Ning and Bruning’s!”

Viscount Prozolov sneered. He knew that Lavre was telling the truth. If he was Shuvalov, he would not let Brunin and Fionin be spared. He even guessed that Shuvalov would fight. What an abacus is that.

It is nothing more than handing in Bruning and Fioren after the fact, so that he will be the hero who solves all problems, and then he can accept everything of Bestuzhev Liuming in an open manner.

“Does your mistress have any impression of this group of people who robbed Fioren? Do you know who they are?”

Lavre shook his head and said: “The situation was very dangerous at the time. Shuvalov’s people were besieging her, trying to kill her. She didn’t have time to check the origins of the group… but she said that these people acted. They are all ruthless characters!”

“A ruthless character!”

Viscount Prozolov sighed slightly, he was very interested in these guys who took Fioren halfway. Because common sense told him that this group of people was too unusual. Shuvalov’s actions were so secretive, but they knew Shuvalov’s purpose and knew well about his actions, and were able to successfully cut their faces halfway. All of these showed that these unknown people came from a third force. !

The sudden appearance of the third force affected the nerves of Viscount Prozolov. He knew why Shuvalov had a mistake. This third force hidden behind the scenes was really daunting, and they finally robbed Fior. What exactly does Ning mean? Are they really gangsters?

There are many problems in Viscount Prozolov’s mind that have not been resolved, and he thinks this conversation with Ravre is really helpful. Not only helped him figure out the whole story, but also made him understand that there is another force in Kiev that does not deal with Shuvalov. For some reason, they ruined Shuvalov’s good deeds. It can be regarded as an indirect help to Duke Constantine.

It’s just that Viscount Prozolov is not happy. Only a conspirator like him knows that the enemy hiding in the dark is the most terrifying. The lurkers who are invisible and completely unaware of their intentions are unidentified and unclear. Their position is not clear. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com could ruin Shuvalov’s good things yesterday, but who can guarantee that they will not ruin Grand Duke Konstantin tomorrow. Things.

Viscount Prozolov had a secret decision in his heart, and after he had negotiated with Lavre, he would immediately warn Archduke Constantine. Remind him to be wary of these third forces hidden in the dark, and it is best to understand their identity and purpose as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a bit sleepy and sleepy!

After thinking about it, Viscount Prozolov felt that Duke Konstantin alone might be incapable of power, because their strength here is limited, and they are somewhat stretched to deal with Shuvalov, let alone mobilizing their power to find these mysterious third strands. Power.

Prozolov decided to ask Petrovna, after all, this woman is a native of Kiev, and as a socialite she has always made friends and is well informed. Maybe there is any special discovery: “What does your mistress think of these people? ”

Ravre was taken aback, because he hadn’t thought that Viscount Prozolov would suddenly be interested in this mysterious third force. Is this a bit of a digression? However, since the other party asked, and this force does not involve Petrovna’s interests, he replied calmly:

“My mistress was also a little confused afterwards, she didn’t understand how they knew about Count Shuvalov’s attempt…”
