Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev calmly said to Grand Duke Konstantin and Count Shuvalov: “His Royal Highness and the Count, as the envoys specially sent by your majesty to deal with this case. I have heard many opinions and opinions from you just now. Views, I don’t have any conclusions about this for the time being. After all, this is just your side words, and the truth needs to be investigated.”

After a while, Count Rostovtsev first said to Grand Duke Konstantin: “His Royal Highness, now please let go of Count Shuvalov. Regardless of whether your accusation is justified or the evidence is sufficient, the Count is the Minister of the State after all. , Your pulling and pulling like this is really detrimental to the country’s body!”

“And now you don’t have to worry that the earl will escape in fear of crime. There is no criminal who can escape the punishment of the law without me. Let go!”

Grand Duke Constantine just let go, but apparently he remembered Count Shuvalov, especially since he was filled with indignation at what he said just now. He stared at each other angrily, as if he would pounce on him again at any time. same.

Archangel Constantine’s piety Shuvalov was naturally in his eyes, and he liked to see this. He was hoping that Duke Constantine would make trouble. As long as Duke Constantine was making trouble, it would be considered Rostovtze. The imperial commission of Count husband will also be tricky, so he must focus most of his energy on Archduke Constantine’s side, and he can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

So he shook his arms in disgust, just like the place where he had been caught by Grand Duke Constantine was stained, and his eyes were still squinted, and the corners of his mouth were accompanied by a hint of sneer, which was always mocking.

One can imagine how annoyed the Grand Guild of Constantine was. The anger he had just suppressed by Count Rostovtsev was ignited, but Count Rostovtsev moved faster and did not give him a chance at all. He immediately said to Count Shuvalov:

“Your Excellency, although the accusation made by the Grand Duke against you has not been confirmed. However, in view of the serious nature of this case, I formally announce to you that you will suspend all your duties, and a designated person will supervise you to take a temporary rest at the designated place and wait for the case to be closed. ”

This sentence is more effective than anything else. The anger of Grand Duke Constantine was extinguished in an instant. As long as Shuvalov was unlucky, he would be happy!

Of course Shuvalov could not agree. He immediately cried out: “Count, what do you mean? Why do you put me under house arrest! This is illegal!”

While saying that he also motioned to Peter Balek to oppose it together. Although the latter did not want to intervene, since Uvarov paid special attention to Shuvalov, he would be a little bit overwhelmed if he didn’t say anything.

He bit his head and said to Count Rostovtsev: “Your Excellency, this is really not quite right! After all, the count is not at fault…”

Count Rostovtsev smiled calmly and said: “I think it is particularly appropriate, because your majesty’s will for me is to thoroughly investigate the case. Anyone involved in this case will be subject to my review first, and I will find out his suspicion. Before, all were strictly imprisoned. No contact with the outside world was allowed to prevent interference in the investigation!”

As he said, he looked at Count Shuvalov coldly, and said: “Your Excellency the count seems to have a closer relationship with the female suspect Petrovna, so you can only blame the count for a short break!”

Shuvalov was anxious now. He quickly defended: “This is completely slander and slander. Petrovna and I have nothing to do with him. Your Excellency the Governor has personally verified it. It is a complete rumor!”

“Your Excellency has checked it?”

Count Rostovtsev turned his head and asked Peter Balek, which made the latter suddenly feel a chill. Count Rostovtsev just looked at him and asked him a word, and he trembled.

But Peter Balek could not evade, so he could only bite the bullet and replied: “Yes, I have verified it, and the relevant information can be regarded as rumors. At least I did not find that Count Shuvalov had a relationship with Petrovna. Close evidence.”

When he said this, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked so guilty. But for Shuvalov, this sentence is enough. With Peter Balek’s proof, he can stop Count Rostovtsev’s mouth.

It can only be said that Shuvalov was too naive, and he too underestimated Count Rostovtsev. After listening to Peter Barek’s words, he just smiled faintly and said: “Really? Record it, and Governor Peter Barek will verify it. He has not found anything about the relationship between Count Shuvalov and Petrovna!”

Peter Barak was dumbfounded, and he didn’t understand why Count Rostovtsev put this sentence on the record. Is there any problem?

Count Rostovtsev patted his palms twice and said casually: “Your Majesty sent me to investigate the case thoroughly. What is a thorough investigation? You should know what it means, in short. , I will re-examine all the clues, all the facts, and all the relevant evidence. All the conclusions you have drawn before will not be adopted. Whoever is suspected and who is not suspected, I have the final say!”

After speaking, he turned to Count Shuvalov and asked: “Now, count, do you have any questions?”

Count Shuvalov was so shocked that he could not speak. Count Rostovtsev’s strength was beyond his imagination. UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn’t put them in their eyes at all, and they didn’t. Listen to what he said, his reasons and methods have no effect on this person.

But Count Shuvalov is definitely not willing to wait for death, even if he is dying to struggle, he will thump twice: “I strongly oppose it, this is just nonsense!”

“Your objection is invalid. Now the guards will come and take Count Shuvalov under strict supervision. Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit or communicate with him!”

Peter Balek was taken aback. Count Rostovtsev’s strength made him very nervous. After all, he and Shuvalov are grasshoppers on the same rope. If the goods collapse, he can be well. ?

He opened his mouth to intercede for Shuvalov, but before he could speak, Count Rostovtsev approached him: “Your Excellency, Your Majesty is quite dissatisfied with your performance. Under your rule. The fact that such a horrible case happened, it fully demonstrates your incompetence!”

Peter Balek was stunned. He never thought that Count Rostovtsev would treat him like this. No matter how much he was a nobleman, how could he be beaten like this? He just wanted to have an attack, but Rostov Count Futsev’s words immediately made him wilt, becoming like a frosted eggplant…
