Chapter 212 Procrastination (Part 2)
Li Xiao is not a fool. Razumovski called him a housekeeper, but in fact he still wants to hide if he can. He was just using business as an excuse, and his real intention was to leave Li Xiao alone in the living room. He felt that as long as Li Xiao was kept waiting, sooner or later Li Xiao would get impatient and leave by himself.
Will Li Xiao go away voluntarily?
The answer is no.
Because Li Xiao would not just sit and wait foolishly, he smiled and said to the butler: "Your Excellency is busy with work, so I took the liberty to come here. However, I also have an important matter to discuss with Your Excellency, please. Tell Your Excellency the Earl, I will wait forever, even if I wait until tomorrow morning, I must see Your Excellency the Earl!"
In fact, there was no need for the housekeeper to convey anything, Razumovski was hiding next door, and he knew Li Xiao's every move, so he had a headache at that time, and he knew that hiding might not be possible.
But he really didn't want to see Li Xiao. He had been the commander of the military police in the Black Sea Fleet for several years. Could he not be clear about Li Xiao's relationship with Kornilov and Nasimov? He knew that Li Xiao's visit must be to help Kornilov and Naximov talk, there is absolutely nothing good about it!
After hesitating for about five or six minutes, he saw that Li Xiao was leisurely drinking tea in the living room. He made it clear that he would not stop until he saw him. In desperation, he had no choice but to show up. , but still no one can change his original intention, he will never take part in these shitty things!
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke's sudden visit really makes the humble house flourish!"
If you just look at the smile on Razumovski's face, you really think how much he welcomes Li Xiao! But Li Xiao knew very well that the old fox in front of him was neither the ordinary Pili Yangqiu nor the ordinary difficult one, all his expressions and words could be false.
"I've wanted to visit His Excellency the Earl for a long time, but I have been busy with business and have no chance. Today, I happened to have an urgent matter that I had to inform Your Excellency the Earl, so I didn't invite myself!"
Razumovsky clicked his tongue in his heart. He originally wanted to say a few pleasantries to delay the time, or simply take the opportunity of saying hello to gossip about him, but who would have thought that a certain person would keep his three words out of his line of work? Coming up is to get down to business, it is really difficult.
"Let Your Excellency keep thinking about it, I really don't panic! In the end, I did something wrong. I should have taken the initiative to visit Your Excellency earlier. If you are rude, look at Haihan, and look at Haihan!"
In this round of confrontation, the two basically found out each other's intentions. Li Xiao wanted to speak out directly, but Razumovski was slippery and refused to give in. Seeing what he meant, he was going to keep talking nonsense like this,
Refusing to get down to business at all.
If you were an ordinary person, you would really have nothing to do with an old fritter like him, but Li Xiao is different. There is a secret to dealing with this kind of old fritters: first of all, you must have a thick skin, and you must not make you useless because of the thick skin of the other party. or feel embarrassed. The second is to always master the rhythm, even if you are forced, you have to force the other party to follow your rhythm.
So Li Xiao seemed to have not heard what Razumovski said, and said directly: "Your Excellency should already know, His Majesty has issued a decree to remove Lieutenant General Berkh from the post of commander of the Black Sea Fleet and appoint Kang Grand Duke Standing is acting as the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. And now that Commander Berg is suddenly dismissed, it is inevitable that he will feel resentful. As the military police, we must make preparations in advance to prevent some people with two hearts from engaging in sabotage activities!"
Razumovski looked at Li Xiao in surprise, because he had already resorted to shameless methods and didn't answer Li Xiao's words at all, but the other party still said the business in a serious manner. How is this going?
At this moment, his heart was full of nuisance criticism: [Is there something wrong with you? I'm all talking nonsense, okay? Why are you just talking about business on your own! Don't you understand people's words! 】
But it's useless even if Razumovski scolds his mother in his heart, because Li Xiao has already said what he should say, can you still stop him?
Of course, Razumovsky couldn't stop talking, but he also had other ways, that is to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he replied with a smile: "It's not that I'm not feeling well today, I'm recuperating at home." So, does His Majesty have a new order? I must take a closer look when I go to the headquarters tomorrow, not to mention that we are absolutely obeying His Majesty's arrangements, and we can do whatever His Majesty tells us to do, right?..."
Li Xiao thought to himself what kind of nonsense answer is this, you are still avoiding the important and taking the light of the matter, and you are persuading the imperial decree, but in fact you are still fooling things.
Razumovski was quite satisfied with his reply in his heart, you said he didn't talk about business, he seems to have answered Li Xiao's words in a dignified manner, and also expressed his attitude, expressing his complete obedience to the imperial edict's arrangement.
But the question is what does Li Xiao mean? What Li Xiao meant was that someone wanted to cause sabotage, so let Razumovski, the gendarmerie commander, take the helm. But his answer didn't talk about this matter at all, he just said that he completely obeyed the imperial decree, is this still talking about him!
Li Xiao smiled slightly. He didn't expect Razumovski to be so difficult, but he still said calmly: "This is the best. With your assurance, Your Excellency the Earl, I am very grateful to Konstantin. The Grand Duke has an explanation... His Royal Highness was always worried about someone causing sabotage before. Now, Your Excellency the Earl, you take the lead in supporting His Highness’s leadership. I believe that you will be able to actively carry out the work and nip all sabotage in the bud. This is very good. I believe Your Highness You will be very satisfied!"
Razumovski's face changed drastically when he heard this, because he never expected Li Xiao to say such a thing. According to Li Xiao, he came here on the orders of Grand Duke Constantine, and now he is going to reply to Grand Duke Constantine that Razumovsky is going to cooperate with His Royal Highness and prevent others from causing damage.
The problem is that Razumovsky didn't mean that at all, okay? He always just said that he would definitely act in accordance with the imperial decree and never overstepped the rules. He never said that he would help Grand Duke Constantine, okay?
It can only be said that Razumovsky is an old fox. He was sure that Nicholas I's decree would not explain that he wanted to prevent people with two hearts from destroying it. The decree was at most announcing the appointment of Constantine The Grand Duke served as acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Razumovski will definitely not object to these contents, nor will he take the lead in confrontation. As for the other things, how to prevent other people from sabotaging, there is no explanation in the edict, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it!
