Chapter 298 Careful Thinking

No matter how upset Peter Barek was with Shuvalov, he would not dare to confront Uvarov. Since the boss had ordered him to cooperate with Shuvalov, he simply delegated power and let Shuvalov do whatever he wanted.

Of course, what he should observe is to observe, and what he should pay attention to is careful attention. One is to prevent being tricked by Shuvalov, and the other is to see if he can hold Shuvalov's pigtail so that he will not get worse in the future. Don't take yourself seriously.

Now that Grand Duke Constantine has made it clear that he is looking for Shuvalov, and it looks like the visitor is not kind. Peter Barek is actually a little happy in his heart, wishing that Grand Duke Constantine can teach Shuvalov a lesson.

So he just ordered his adjutant lightly: "Invite Count Shuvalov over and say that Your Excellency the Grand Duke is waiting for him."

After saying this, he didn't ask what Grand Duke Constantine wanted to do anymore, he just invited Grand Duke Constantine into the reception room with a smile, and then began to serve tea and snacks, looking leisurely. .

Peter Barek's behavior made Grand Duke Constantine frown secretly, because he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd. As long as you are not a fool, you can see that he is looking for trouble. As Shuvalov's accomplice, you should help cover up and test the intention of coming. At the worst, you have to express dissatisfaction and resistance.

But Peter Barek was fine, he just wanted to watch a show and watch the excitement, even if the excitement wasn't big enough.

Grand Duke Constantine naturally didn't know that this was because Peter Barek and Shuvalov were at odds with each other, and they often disrupted each other. He thought the other party was confident!

As for why he was confident, Grand Duke Constantine subconsciously began to make up his mind: Could it be that the other party has seen through his arrangement and cleaned up his hands, so he is not afraid of him pulling his tail? Or is it that they are still confident that even if he attacks Shuvalov, they can win a big victory?

Grand Duke Constantine was full of problems. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He felt that he should listen to Viscount Prozolov's advice and make more preparations. He shouldn't be so impulsive.

This is the weakness of Grand Duke Constantine's character. He is impatient and prone to pride and underestimate the enemy, and then when he encounters a little problem, he becomes suspicious and shakes his faith. In history, as long as he can give a little bit of strength and persist, Alexander II's reforms will not end without a problem.

It's a pity that he is such a person, especially now that he is still young, it is even more unbearable.

Grand Duke Constantine sat on the sofa and felt as if there were nails in the sofa cushion. He felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat, and even felt uncomfortable all over his body. He endured for a while and asked Peter Barek again:

"What business is Count Shuvalov doing?"

In fact, Peter Barek didn't know what Shuvalov was doing,

Before Earl Uvarov's instructions came, the other party still had some scruples to give him three points. But as soon as Earl Uvarov's latest instructions arrived, Shuvalov, who got Shangfang's sword, completely ignored him. He would never tell him no matter what he did, and even gave him instructions frequently. Make it go round and round.

But Peter Barek will definitely not tell Grand Duke Constantine about these family ugliness. He pretended to be calm and replied: "It's just some official business, because of the case of Bestuzhev Ryumin, many people in the third part of Kiev have been implicated. , causing a lot of work to be unable to carry out normally, and it can only make Earl Shuvalov work harder."

Grand Duke Konstantin wanted to roll his eyes, because he didn't believe a word of such nonsense. The work of the third department in Kiev was indeed affected, but he didn't believe that Shuvalov would be so kind and willing to work hard. It is formulated that this guy is taking advantage of the fact that there are no tigers in the mountains. This is a presumptuous grab for power!

"Really?" Grand Duke Konstantin laughed, as if he didn't care, and said: "Then Count Shuvalov has worked hard, but I remember that the count seems to be involved in the case, right? Petrovna's question he has been I haven't explained it clearly, so it's better to avoid suspicion at this time?"

Peter Barek was taken aback, and glanced at Grand Duke Constantine suspiciously. He couldn't figure out what the other party meant by saying this. Was it just questioning or complaining, or venting dissatisfaction, or did it have some deep meaning?

Peter Barek naturally knew that Shuvalov hadn't explained his relationship with Petrovna clearly. It stands to reason that all those involved in the case should be taken down first, or at least stop working first.

But who made Kiev now dominated by conservatives? As long as he, the governor, said that Shuvalov had no problems, who would dare to say that he had problems?

Of course, Grand Duke Constantine may say that, but he can completely ignore it. Who told us to mess with you this time, how could we listen to the words of your enemy!

Peter Barek replied indifferently: "I have investigated carefully. Although Count Shuvalov has some ambiguous relationship with Petrovna, the relationship is not close, and naturally it has nothing to do with the case."

Having said that, Peter Barek suddenly paused, probably because he felt that he was endorsing Shuvalov's innocence, not because he was worried that if Petrovna's old accounts were turned out to prove that Shuvalov Husband does get involved and makes him very passive. Rather, he felt that it was too embarrassing for a dignified governor to speak for such an inconspicuous subordinate.

A little upset, he paused for a while and said: "At least for the time being, it seems that His Excellency the Earl is still trustworthy. If it turns out that he is really involved in it in the future, I will definitely hold him accountable severely and let him be punished as he deserves!"

Grand Duke Constantine is the second monk who can't figure it out. He doesn't know what Peter Barek means. At first, he patted his chest so swearingly as a guarantee, and then took back what he said in a blink of an eye. Feelings are good. It's all done by one person, right?

"Then let's wait and see!"

The somewhat unhappy Grand Duke Constantine stabbed sinisterly, and then asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, is there any new progress in the case recently? Have Fioning and his accomplices been caught?"

Well, this is the pain in the hearts of Peter Barek and Shuvalov, because even though they dug three feet to find someone, they still couldn't find Fionin's shadow, and this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

And if the case of Fioning cannot be found, it will not be considered a perfect solution, and it will even become a huge stain on his political achievements. After all, he is the governor of Ukraine, but he can't even look down on a prisoner. How can this be disgraceful? !
