Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 316: Interrogation (Part 1)

A new day has begun. The common people in Kiev don't know what the nobles in the city experienced the previous night. For them, every day is the same. Except for being busy for their livelihood, they are busy for their livelihood.

However, this night is destined to be recorded in history, because after this night Kiev and Ukraine will change their owners, after this night, the Russian reformists began to sound the clarion call for counterattack against conservatives.

Count Shuvalov was the first to be beaten with a reformist iron fist. On the second day of house arrest, Count Rostovtsev brought him to trial with Grand Duke Nicholas.

"Earl, now I ask you some questions on behalf of your Majesty. You must answer these questions truthfully. If you have any lies, you will be punished the most severely if you are caught! Understand?"

Shuvalov just wanted to say huh, he was not scared, what should be said and what shouldn't be said in this situation, is he still not forced to count? Playing this kind of trick with him makes him a kid!

He replied lazily and nonchalantly: "Understood! Ask it! Anyway, I have a clear conscience!"

Count Rostovtsev didn't care whether his attitude was good or not, but asked calmly: "What is your relationship with Mrs. Petrovna?"

This problem did not surprise Shuvalov at all. He knew that this problem must be the focus, but he had nothing to be afraid of. His people knew what to say and what not to say, and he didn’t believe it. Count Rostovtsev's people who could handle him overnight pried open their mouths.

So he replied confidently: "It doesn't matter, it's just that I've seen it in salons and dances a few times, talked twice, and skipped a few dances!"

Count Rostovtsev continued to ask: "It's just these?"

Count Shuvalov snorted and said proudly, "Of course!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled. This smile puzzled Shuvalov. He didn't understand what was so funny.

"I'm afraid not at all?" Count Rostovtsev replied calmly. "According to the witness's testimony, you have a close and ambiguous relationship with Mrs. Petrovna. Why? Don't you want to tell the truth?"

"Nonsense!" Count Shuvalov pretended to be angrily retorted: "It's complete nonsense! If you have to frame me by these inscrutable things, please show me your evidence!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "Is there any evidence? There is a lot! There are witnesses' testimony, but they all insist that you have an ambiguous relationship with that Mrs. Petrovna!"

Shuvalov was completely unmoved, and said coldly: "Whose testimony? I'm afraid it's all just trying to catch the wind!"

"Catch the wind and catch the shadow?" Rostovtsev smiled slightly, patted a dozen documents beside him, and said: "Then there are a lot of stories about you, four earls, seven viscounts, twelve barons, and others. The unclear lady and the young lady told me in unison that you have an ambiguous relationship with that lady Petrovna, are they all lying? Or is it that your Count Shuvalov’s popularity in Kiev is so bad that it has become annoying. To the point?"

Shuvalov is still very calm, because he knows that those nobles who don't like him, as well as the cowardly nobles, will certainly not be able to withstand the trial of Count Rostovtsev, and will certainly explain these things.

But he felt that these things were not fatal, because he could completely prevaricate the past by acting on the spot and misunderstandings. It could even be said that these people had hatred with him and deliberately fell into trouble. It's impossible for these things to crush him anyway!

He snorted coldly: "As the person in charge of the third part, I am mainly responsible for maintaining the stability of the empire. It is inevitable to offend many people. It is so strange to be attacked by these despicable villains!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled again: "Really? But how do I think these testimonies are particularly credible? And I think your Majesty will also value these testimonies!"

"Humph! Whatever you say, I'm innocent anyway!"

"That's really missing," Count Rostovtsev said with a smile, "According to my investigation, you have a major suspicion! For example, you can explain to me why, the day before Fionen escaped from prison, you Meet Mrs. Petrovna in secret? Could you tell me what you talked about with her?"

Shuvalov was startled suddenly, except for a cold sweat behind him, because he and Petrovna should only know about the secret meeting between him and his confidants. How did Count Rostovtsev discover it! Is it?

However, he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I don't remember seeing that woman before the crime, this is still being framed and falsely accusing me!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "Then you explain why Petrovna's maid, manservant and butler unanimously told the imperial servant that you met the woman secretly that day?!"

Count Rostovtsev deliberately used the woman to refer to Petrovna, which was obviously a mockery of Shuvalov. And Shuvalov can’t take care of this anymore, because he heard bad news that Petrovna’s people have fallen into the hands of Count Rostovtsev. The question is, how is this possible? ?

You know that after Petrovna fled, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has already separated the relationship in order to completely kill the mouth. Shuvalov did some remedial work, and he immediately sent someone to arrest Petrovna’s servant. But what he didn't expect was that these people were already empty. Obviously Petrovna had already guarded his hand and evacuated the servants around him in advance.

Later Shuvalov spent a lot of time searching for these people, but there was no progress. These people, like Petrovna, were alive and dead, and disappeared out of thin air.

He asked suspiciously: "How did you find these people? The third installment specially searched for these people before, but they ran away long ago!"

Count Rostovtsev still smiled and replied: "Just last night, these people chose to surrender and then truthfully accounted for all information related to Petrovna. Among them, you had secretly shared this information before the crime. The fact that the women met, according to their account, you have had a secret conversation with that woman for nearly two hours. Now, Your Excellency, please tell me, what have you talked about with that woman!"

Shuvalov was not so calm for the first time, because the words of Count Rostovtsev gave him a big shock. Petrovna’s people actually chose to surrender, and they were in Rostovtsev not sooner or later. The earl surrendered on the day he arrived in Kiev. If there is no conspiracy, it is a ghost!
