Struggle in Russia

Shuvalov knew very well that Petrovna’s people surrendered at this time. There must be a problem, and there is no need to think about it. This must be for him.

He immediately realized how unfavorable the situation was for him. Once the relationship between Petrovna and him was confirmed, especially if he had close contact with Petrovna before the incident, then even if there was no evidence to be able to To prove what he and Petrovna talked about, it can be confirmed that he has a major suspicion.

Although this major suspicion does not mean that you will be convicted, having a major suspicion in this case necessarily means sitting on the bench for a long time. After all, Nicholas I was there watching, even if Shuvalov could not be convicted in the end, but would the czar use a courtier who was heavily suspected in such a sensitive case?

You can’t change to Shuvalov’s emperor. So he knew immediately that he had to deny it, otherwise he would only be a political spectator for a long time in the future.

This is not a good thing. After all, there is a carrot and a hole in the officialdom. If you can’t occupy a good position, others will not wait for you. Even if it is the most optimistic estimate, Shuvalov may have been out of play when Nicholas I was in power. It is strange to disappear in the political arena for such a long time and not to be forgotten!

“Slander! I don’t know what these people are talking about. I am not familiar with Petrovna and did not go to her house on the day of the incident. This is totally framed and framed!”

Count Rostovtsev had a very relaxed expression on his face from the beginning of the interrogation, as if he was not the most critical person in the interrogation, but was just as usual with his friends.

“Planning and framing?” Count Rostovtsev asked with a smile: “Why are they framing you? And you said it was framing. You must have evidence to prove that you are innocent, right?”

Shuvalov lowered his head and his mind turned quickly. He didn’t want to have any evidence to prove his innocence, but he was thinking about his itinerary on the day of the incident. He must recall whether there were any loopholes on the day, otherwise he would wait. It will be very troublesome to be asked.

After thinking about it, he raised his head and replied unswervingly: “My secretary, my housekeeper, and my servant can prove my innocence. They know that I haven’t seen the woman on the day of the crime!”

Count Rostovtsev still asked without hesitation: “Really? Then please give me a list, count, so I can check with them one by one.”

Shuvalov did not hesitate to write a list. Of course, it must be his confidant who can be written on it. These people have been instructed by him for a long time, and they naturally know how to deal with Rostovtsev. The earl’s cross-examination.

What only made Shuvalov a little strange was that Count Rostovtsev just looked at the list, and did not immediately interrogate these people on the list, which made Shuvalov very puzzled.

In this regard, Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: “Because the matter is of great importance, all your cronies and servants have been arrested and interrogated. These people on your list have already answered my question!”

Shuvalov was taken aback again. He really didn’t expect Count Rostovtsev to move so fast, and he turned out to have the result of the interrogation first and then defrauded him. It was treacherous!

Shuvalov secretly rejoiced fortunately that he had made arrangements in advance, and he had agreed with these people a long time ago, otherwise, after such an interrogation, he would have to dress for help.

But this made his waist stiffen a lot in an instant, and he asked confidently: “If this is the case, then you should know that I was wronged, so why bother!”

Count Rostovtsev was still smiling, and his laughter made Shuvalov furry, he was still calm and calm, and replied calmly: “Although these confessions from your confession I agree with what you said, but this does not prove your innocence! On the contrary, I think these people are giving false testimony!”

Shuvalov was stunned again, because this was not what he expected. Originally, he thought that with these Counts of Rostovtsev, he would have nothing to do with him. Who would have thought that the other party would directly tell him this was a perjury.

In fact, Count Rostovtsev said more bluntly: “If I guess right, these secretaries and servants of yours have already colluded and unified the calibre. That’s why they said in unison that you did not contact Peter that day. Rovna. It is very likely that you are the one who made them perjury! Right!”

Shuvalov’s heart was beating, and he found that he could not figure out what Count Rostovtsev wanted to do. He could not keep up with this man’s rhythm. But he knew that he had only one way to go, and that was to deny it!

“I don’t know what you mean! I think your presupposition is a great prejudice against me. I have provided witnesses to prove my innocence, but you indiscriminately framed them for collusion. Express your strong indignation. If you think that you can persecute me and frame me, it is absolutely impossible to succeed! I will keep complaining and let the whole Russia see how arrogant you are!”

Count Rostovtsev was still laughing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to be laughing at Shuvalov’s overwhelming ability. He calmly said: “The reason why I said the witnesses you provided collusion is that There is evidence. While arresting these people yesterday, I also arrested another group of people who are closely related to them, including their wives and children, colleagues, friends and all related personnel.”

Although Shuvalov hadn’t reacted after hearing the news, he didn’t know Count Rostovtsev’s intention, but he instinctively realized that it was not good.

Count Rostovtsev continued to say slowly: “My subordinates interrogated these closely related personnel overnight and asked them some of the same questions, such as the witnesses you provided at the time of the incident. what…”

After a short pause, Count Rostovtsev replied with a smile: “Then the result is more interesting. These witnesses you provided testify for you that they were closely related to what they saw at the time of the incident and was with you. People replied that they were doing other things in other places at that time. Your Excellency, can you tell how your secretaries and servants learned the avatar technique?”

Shuvalov was speechless. He knew where his biggest problem was? Although he had prepared a group of people to confess in advance, the relatives and friends around these people did not know about the confession…
