Chapter 434 Goodbye (Part 1)
After figuring out these questions, Shuvalov's mood became very bad, and he didn't think that Count Rostovtsev was so good at "raising his hands" before. If possible, he felt that it would be better for the imperial envoy to expose everything, and let it go!
It's just that this idea is just a matter of a moment, and Count Shuvalov immediately put this childish and ridiculous idea aside. If Count Rostovtsev really did that, what awaits him is probably a prison sentence.
At that time, he had no future at all, and although he is remembered by Nicholas I now, it is estimated that he is unlikely to have a future during the reign of the tsar. But at any rate, you can wait for him to raise his braids!
As long as Nicholas I dies and Crown Prince Alexander becomes the tsar, then he can make a comeback. Although it will take some time, it's better than being directly eliminated by PASS, right?
Anyway, Count Shuvalov was no longer in the mood to plan anything in Kiev, he just wanted to return to St. Petersburg to make the necessary preparations for his dormant career.
He knows very well that this period of dormancy is very critical. If you don’t prepare well, it will be very difficult to make a comeback in the future. After all, officialdom is a place where people are particularly easy to forget. A few years of dormancy is enough to make people all over the world forget you.
It was at this time that Count Shuvalov received Count Uvarov's order. Although he didn't understand what Count Uvarov asked him to investigate, it was a good thing for him after all.
After all, this means that Count Uvarov has not forgotten him, still remembers that he is such a number one, and is still happy to continue to use him.
For a moment, Earl Shuvalov's eyes were filled with tears. Only after experiencing despair can you understand how warm hope is.
After realizing that he was still useful to Count Uvarov, Count Shuvalov almost jumped three feet in place. He knew that if he performed well, he might not have the opportunity to fight for better dormant treatment.
It's just that what Count Uvarov asked him to check made him feel tricky. He didn't give any clues or specific strategies, and let him discover everything by himself. Count Shuvalov felt that Count Uvarov valued him too much, perhaps he had misunderstood his ability.
But this kind of misunderstanding is fine, the greater the ability, the greater the value of use, it is better than being thrown away as garbage!
But how to check?
Count Shuvalov thought about the manpower he could mobilize in Kiev, and felt more and more embarrassed. There were almost no one available. He couldn't let him, a polished commander, go to investigate like a headless chicken, right? That is, there will be no results if the investigation is endless.
However, Count Shuvalov was still a little quick-witted. He began to examine his actions from beginning to end with a new perspective to see where there might be problems.
Not to mention, he immediately found out the situation on the day of the prison break that he hadn't concluded for a long time. It was obvious that Bruning must have something wrong. How could it be so coincidental that a group of uninvited guests ran out of the way and messed up all his carefully planned actions?
Earl Shuvalov also thought about this issue before. At first he thought that there was something wrong with Petrovna, and thought that this woman might have realized that he wanted to kill someone, so he deliberately colluded with Bruning and robbed Fioning. So negotiate terms with him.
But with the development of the situation later, this possibility becomes infinitely small, it is impossible at all, otherwise there is no way to explain everything behind.
Count Shuvalov has been trying to figure out which hero ruined his good deed, but after a long investigation, he couldn't find this person at all. Bruning and Fioning disappeared out of thin air, and even Bruning's family members disappeared.
Obviously, the other party erased all traces, making it impossible for him to find out. Now that Count Uvarov asked him to investigate the hidden forces behind the scenes, he immediately thought of the mysterious prison robbers who caused this case to go in a completely different direction.
He knew that these people were likely to belong to the mastermind behind the scenes, and if he could catch their tails, everything might be solved.
Shuvalov thought about it and felt that there should be no problem with this direction, but how to proceed is a big problem. Because when the crime happened, he didn't leave even a prison robber behind, and they disappeared quickly, and there were no clues to investigate.
This made Count Shuvalov very mad. Although the clues were there, he was completely unable to pierce the window paper. This feeling was too disgusting.
After a long while, he sighed leisurely, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I must meet Petrovna, and see what that woman knows!"
Count Shuvalov would not want to deal with Petrovna if it wasn't really impossible, because he knew that this woman hated him to the bone, and it would cost a lot to pry her out, especially since she is still relying on her. Without Grand Duke Constantine, she might be even more difficult to deal with with that Grand Duke behind her.
But no matter how difficult it is, Earl Shuvalov can only bite the bullet and give it a try, not only because this is his only clue, but more importantly, it is also related to his future, for which he dares to do anything. can bear.
"Your Excellency, I heard that you are a very busy person recently! What can you tell me in such a hurry to find me!"
Petrovna did not expect that Count Shuvalov would suddenly send her a message through Raffle asking for a meeting. Knowing Shuvalov well, she immediately realized that this matter might not be simple.
But she didn't really want to go, don't look at the case has been closed, she seems to have been acquitted, but Anton told her it was just a superficial phenomenon. She has already made a name in Nicholas I's heart now, and now she wants to go to St. Petersburg to open the church, which is death.
Anton also warned her to keep a low profile as much as possible for the next year, otherwise when the news of the case passed, Nicholas I, who was unhappy with her, would really let the third part kill her.
Petrovna didn't dare to ignore these warnings, because she was very afraid of the strength of Anton's group. Such a big case can be fooled in that way, and she can pick it up whole, what kind of ability is this?
She only wants to climb up and become the king of courtesans, but she also knows that her methods are child's play compared with the other party, so don't take their warnings as a deaf ear.
And the most important thing is that even if Petrovna wanted to be active, she couldn't do it. Kiev, a big city, was tossed about by this case. A large number of nobles were dumped, which made the whole circle lifeless. No one dared to jump out and shake around. After all, Count Rostovtsev hadn't left yet. Mi Dadao...
