Struggle in Russia

Chapter 68 Why Are You So Relaxed?

In the violent explosion, Golitsyn's carriage turned into a pile of rotten wood. In this kind of explosion, it is almost impossible for anyone to survive. The assassin leader glanced at his comrades who were lying in a pool of blood, and coldly issued new instructions:

"Shut up!"

Viscount Prozolov has sternly told him that this operation must be foolproof, and no one who leaks the news is allowed to exist alive.

Fierce gunshots rang out again, but this time the target was no longer Golitsyn's frame or bodyguards, but the assassins who had launched a brave charge before, and the wailing wretches in the pool of blood suddenly let out even more horrific cries. , They were either dumbfounded or yelling, but no matter what they did, it would not help, because their fate had already been decided.

"retreat!"

Seeing that the last survivor swallowed his breath unwillingly, the leader of the assassins gave the order to retreat without hesitation, and the patrol team of the city defense army on horses was already faintly visible on the other side of the road.

"It came pretty fast!"

The assassin leader snorted coldly and turned his head away without hesitation. He was not being sarcastic, but compared with those patrols in Russia, the city defense forces in Bucharest were indeed quicker. Generally speaking, in the country, patrols or military police basically only collect corpses, and it is impossible to expect them to catch criminals.

Of course, the performance of Bucharest's city defense army was only a little better. They almost watched the assassins flee without a trace, as if they just came to watch the show.

"They're all dead?" the captain asked in a low voice.

"Almost, the assassins are very brutal, and they even used bombs!"

"Tsk..."

The captain had a headache, because the Governor's Office had repeatedly emphasized the high level of control over arms and other contraband since three years ago, not to mention explosives, even old-fashioned arquebus guns were not allowed to be owned by civilians. Before that, there were more than one confiscation campaign and all kinds of strict investigations, but now the assassins have not only guns but also bombs. This is simply mocking their city defense army for their ineffectiveness, okay?

The only thing that made the captain feel lucky was that he didn't have to take the blame for this. Fortunately, Count Vladimir was ill. It was too late for him to be ill. Even if the governor got angry again, he couldn't drag him out to criticize him who was unconscious!

In fact, the poor captain only guessed right. Count Vladimir was indeed ill at the right time, and he did escape unharmed, but it was not so lucky for the city defense army. Alexei can't trouble Count Vladimir,

But you can still find trouble with the deputy, and you can also find trouble with the person in charge of the city defense army who is responsible for clearing prohibited items. In short, the city defense army cannot escape this responsibility, and someone must be responsible for it.

Alexey was indeed very angry. After the incident happened, he immediately found the responsible person and gave them a severe lesson, scolding these guys like hell.

"Actually, it doesn't make any sense for you to scold them." Fontana, with her big belly, sighed and persuaded.

Alexei just looked at her, but didn't speak. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was still very angry.

Fontana said again: "The city defense army only has a few thousand people in total. It is impossible for them to cover everything in such a big Bucharest... And to be honest, anyone who is willing to take the previous confiscation operations can avoid it. The city defense army is ..."

Alexei finally interrupted her: "I'm not angry with the city defense army, I know their abilities are limited, and they did their best when Leonid was around... what makes me angry is their slack attitude Well, it’s only been so long since the bastard Vladimir has been in office, and they’ve become so lazy, I don’t believe that if they’re serious, they’ll make the assassins so arrogant!”

As he spoke, Alexei snorted heavily: "A marquis of an empire was assassinated by a group of assassins in Bucharest in broad daylight. What is the nature of this? What would His Majesty think if he heard it? I said before that Bucharest was in good order. , This is how good law and order look like?"

Fontana held her stomach and stopped talking. She knew how much pressure Alexei was under, and the nature of this matter was indeed a little too bad, but it was really not suitable to hold on to the city defense army at this moment. Count Vladimir is too ill at the right time?

If the doctors hadn't told her that Count Vladimir's condition was very serious and that it was impossible to pretend to be ill, she would have suspected that the count was responsible for all of this.

But the earl was really sick, and he was seriously ill, which made her puzzled, and she probably knew the background of the Marquis of Golitsyn, so who would kill him?

Based on who was the one who gained the most benefit, the murderer should be someone from Crown Prince Alexander, but Fontana knew very well that unless the crown prince was kicked in the head by a donkey, it would be impossible to deal with Golitsyn.

All this was like a mess of yarn, and Fontana couldn't find the end of the thread at all. Thinking about it, she felt dizzy and her body began to shake.

Alexei quickly hugged her: "Don't think about these messy things, your task now is to cultivate with peace of mind!"

But where would Fontana be free? She frowned and asked, "What did Grand Duke Andrew say?"

Alexei sighed and said, "He's still at the scene, I'll talk about it when he comes back..."

Fontana nodded, but she didn't know that Alexei had been waiting for more than an hour, and it was already midnight when Li Xiao arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

"I knew you couldn't sleep!"

Alexei looked at the relaxed Li Xiao and sighed: "Except for such a big thing, if I can fall asleep, it will take two hundred and five more!"

Li Xiao shrugged and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal..."

Alexei directly interrupted him and said with a wry smile: "Not too big? Isn't the death of a marquis not a big deal? Is the bombing of the Governor's Palace a big deal?"

In fact, Li Xiao wanted to tell him that even if the governor's mansion was bombed, it would not be a big deal. Compared with the real big things, these are just pediatrics, but he also knows how nervous Alexei is now, and it is not suitable for continued stimulation. him.

He replied slowly: "Relax, leave these to me!"

Alexei sighed again, and asked, "Is the Marquis Golitsyn dead? I heard that the carriage was blown to pieces, and the streets were full of blood..."

"The scene is really ugly!" Li Xiao replied calmly, "A lot of people died, but it's still far away from blood flowing into rivers!"

Alexei looked at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Are you really not nervous at all? Why do I feel that you seem relaxed?"
