Chapter 886: Playing Dirty Tricks

Li Xiao's ridicule made Mikhail Semyonovich furious. He really wanted to rush up and beat someone up.

It's just that he is not so angry that he has completely lost his mind, and he does not have the courage to take action against Li Xiao. After all, he is still a Grand Duke and a member of the Romanov family. His status is not worthy of carrying someone's shoes. of.

"I've never heard that a commitment letter is required to perform a mission. Our third film has never had such a rule!" He protested without giving up.

But Li Xiao just glanced at him and replied disdainfully: "It will be from now on. I don't care what it was like before, but now I have the final say. If I say you want it, you must!"

As he spoke, he sneered again and said sarcastically: "Now Lieutenant Colonel, do you understand? If you understand, then execute the order!"

Facing Li Xiao's contempt and sarcasm, Mikhail Semyonovich gritted his teeth. He had never been so angry before. He felt that Li Xiao was just a villain and didn't respect the tradition of the third part!

However, he had no choice. Russia was a country based on officials. Everything was decided by the superior, and everything revolved around the will of the superior. The superiors say yes, then you can be a piece of dung, but you can still be a pillar, but if you have the power to reach the sky, then you can only be stepped on as a footpad.

It’s just that Mikhail Semyonovich has not given up. Of course he will not write any letter of commitment. He is not that stupid. For him, if this road doesn’t work, then he should find another way.

He left Li Xiao's office without saying a word and directly ordered the coachman to take him to the headquarters of the third department without looking back. He wanted to ask for an explanation from the superiors. He didn't believe that no one could cure Li Xiao.

He is quite confident about this. After all, he is an old man in the third part. He knows many powerful people from top to bottom, and he must be well-informed among other things. He had long heard from his superiors that he wanted to give Li Xiao some color and tell him that not just anyone could be the boss of the third part of St. Petersburg.

The reason why he dared to defy Li Xiaoyang before was because of the attitude of his superiors. Since his superiors don't like Li Xiao, he must follow his superiors, right?

Soon he found Vasily Spantelevich, whom he had a close relationship with, who was the section chief of the personnel department of the General Administration of the Third Department. Although he may not have a high official position, he has a lot of power. He is in charge of the promotion of thousands of bosses in the third department of the country. Mikhail Semyonovich has done a lot of flattery and relations before.

Let's put it this way, the relationship between the two parties became very close due to Mikhail Semyonovich's flattery and deliberate attempts to please him. It was from Vasily Spantelevich that he heard about the repairs that the superiors wanted to make. News from Li Xiao.

"My friend, why are you here suddenly?"

However, when Mikhail Semyonovich walked into Vasily Spantelevich's office, he found that his old friend was not in a particularly beautiful mood. He was sighing with a sad face.

"Come to see you," Mikhail Semyonovich laughed and asked cautiously: "Are you in trouble? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Vasily Spanterevich suddenly sighed and replied depressedly: "It is true, but you really can't help!"

Mikhail Semyonovich didn't believe it at all. He often heard such words. Generally speaking, when people like Vasily Spantelevich said this, it was a sign of asking for high prices and preparing to reap benefits.

So he immediately patted his chest and said: "If you say that, then I have to help you. Tell me, what troubles have you encountered? Is it someone who is careless and causing trouble for you, or is it yours?" My beautiful little lover is having trouble with you again?"

Vasily Spantelevitch bared his teeth and said angrily: "What's the point of worrying about such a simple thing? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't even solve this little trouble?"

"Of course you are not. Who doesn't know your name? As long as your name is announced, all the government departments in St. Petersburg will give you some face.

Solving such trivial matters is just a matter of your words! "

Mikhail Semyonovich flattered him and said with a smile: "Then why are you troubled? Tell me, what if I can help?"

Vasily Spantelevich sighed again and said: "If you are really interested, then let me tell you... As you know, I have a very close relationship with Duke Dolgoruky. The Duke helped me before. I'm less busy, so... you know, I naturally have to help the Duke solve some little troubles that bother him... Well, the Duke has encountered some troubles in the past few days, and uu's reading is generally not going well. Take me with you to eat melon drops..."

Mikhail Semyonovich was surprised. Of course he knew that Vasily Spantelevich was actually Duke Dolgoruky's stable boy, and did not have the face or connections of Duke Dolgoruky. He can't be the section chief either.

I hear this guy thinks something has happened to Duke Dolgoruky? But why didn't he hear anything? Didn't the Duke attend dances and salons two days ago, and wasn't he in a generally high mood?

What worried Mikhail Semyonovich even more was how big a deal it had to do with the fact that even Duke Dolgoruky found it difficult. How can his little arms and legs help?

Immediately, Mikhail Semyonovich regretted that he had been so mean just now. Why had he forgotten to be cautious? People have said it’s very troublesome, but why bother to ask more questions? Now it's great. How can I get out if I'm really pretending to be inside?

Mikhail Semyonovich was retreating in his heart but said: "If you have anything to do, just give me your orders. As long as I can help, I will do my best!"

Vasily Spantelevich looked at him meaningfully, lowered his voice and said: "Then I won't hide it from you. Count Nikolay Milyutin asked to rectify and reform our third department, and then he first The cannon was fired at the Duke, uncovering all the Duke’s old debts of the past ten years or so, making it impossible for the Duke to step down..."

Mikhail Semyonovich was stirred up in his heart again, and said to himself: "This is not something that cannot be brought down. This is the reformist party attacking Duke Dolgoruky, okay? Damn, this is Are you going to overthrow Duke Dolgoruky and step on ten thousand feet?"

He laughed dryly twice and replied cautiously: "Your Excellency, the Duke is not given for free. With his relationship, nothing big will happen, right?"
