Struggle in Russia

Chapter 892 Of Course I Forgive Him

What is the most important thing about being in Russian officialdom?

Is it personal ability?

Is it smart enough?

Or is it shameless enough without any lower limit?

Or are you smart enough to get a chance to rise to prominence?

In fact, it is neither, but enough to assess the situation. You must have a pair of ears that are sensitive enough and a brain that responds quickly to be able to identify in an instant which people cannot be messed with, otherwise you will not be able to survive for a few days no matter how capable and smart you are and if you have no lower limit.

Just one mistake is enough to doom you!

Now Mikhail Semyonovich realizes the importance of this. He was frightened. When he figured out the whole truth, he immediately understood what kind of trap he had created.

A certain Grand Duke who relies on the Gorchakov family and the reformist faction represented by Count Speransky is simply a hidden booby trap, okay?

What's worse is that he foolishly stepped on it, and he might be shattered to pieces this time!

Mikhail Semyonovich was a little on the verge of tears, and he seriously considered whether to immediately resign and run away.

But this thought only passed by for a moment. How could he give up the temptation brought by his position of power and honestly leave the prosperous St. Petersburg and live in the deserted countryside to grow moldy?

What's more, he feels that even if he runs away, the other party may not let him go. Beating up a drowned dog is always necessary. In officialdom, in order to prevent political opponents from retaliating, knocking the opponent to the ground and then stepping on ten thousand feet is a normal operation!

So running away was useless, and trying to find a relationship to settle the trouble didn't work. Mikhail Semyonovich felt that he had only one way to go, and that was to simply surrender and admit defeat, dedicate everything he had to praying to the other party. of forgiveness.

After having this realization, he no longer had the heart to listen to the nagging of a bunch of old guys, and hurriedly returned home and dug out the wealth he had accumulated over the years from the safe.

"What are you doing?"

Mikhail Semyonovich looked up at his wife and replied impatiently: "Count the money! Otherwise, what else can you do!"

"What are you counting money for?"

Mikhail Semyonovich said impatiently: "Don't mind my business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"How could it not matter? You just withdrew one hundred thousand rubles a few days ago, and now you have dug out all your savings. What on earth do you want to do? Are you transferring the property behind my back!"

Facing his reluctant wife Mikhail Semyonovich, he snorted coldly and said: "You should stay out of my business. You won't understand even if I tell you!"

"What don't I understand! Do you think I don't know that you have a little cousin behind my back? Let me tell you, Mikhail Semyonovich, don't think that I am blind. I am aware of every move you make. Be clear, don’t try to make a name for yourself behind my back!”

Upon hearing this, Mikhail Semyonovich immediately became angry: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am warning you one last time, don't stop me from doing my work!"

Naturally, this attitude could not make the angry woman give up. She immediately grabbed her husband and gave him a slap in the face: "You heartless bastard, if my father hadn't supported you back then, you wouldn't have been able to give up." How come today, now that my wings are hardened, I don’t dare to cheat on you, I tell you, you won’t even think about taking away any of this money!”

Seeing his reluctant wife Mikhail Semyonovich's head getting bigger, he who was already in a bad mood immediately jumped to his feet and cursed: "You ignorant and stupid girl, do you think I am willing to do this?" Why don't you give the money away? There's nothing you can do about it. Your husband and I will soon lose our official position, and may even be exiled. At this time, if we don't spend money to eliminate the disaster, we will just wait for death?"

When Mikhail Semyonovich's wife heard what happened, she couldn't help crying and kept scolding: "I told you a long time ago that you must be more careful when doing things in the third part. You will be a sinner if you don’t pay attention, but you always don’t listen, and you meddle in the royal affairs. Now you have kicked the iron plate... Why did I fall in love with you blindly..."

Facing his wailing wife Mikhail Semyonovich was so annoying that he really wanted to seal her mouth with tape, but he knew that if he really did this, this woman would probably be all over the floor. The rolling got even more out of hand.

At that time, not only was he unable to keep money, but he also let outsiders see the joke for free. He could only hold back his anger and tell himself over and over again to stay calm and restrained. After counting his belongings and packing them into a delicate suitcase, Returning to the Third Hall of St. Petersburg with a sad face.

"Please send the message, I have urgent business to meet with His Excellency the Grand Duke!"

Li Xiao's personal secretary was a little confused by Mikhail Semyonovich, because the section chief was not so well-behaved before. When he came here before, he was careless and disapproving. Why did he change his gender today?

"Okay, please wait!"

When Li Xiao heard that Mikhail Semyonovich was coming, he smiled and said to Muravyov and Vishniak: "Did you see that? The news about Mikhail Semyonovich is not If he is normally well-informed, he should have reacted!"

"Normal," Vishniak curled his lips and said contemptuously: "These officials in St. Petersburg are not very good at doing serious things, but this kind of thing is smarter than a dog's nose!"

After a pause, he added: "If I'm not wrong, this guy should be here to pray for surrender. Guess what he will bring here!"

Muravyov snorted coldly and replied with disgust: "What else can it be, but money? Guys like them can do anything besides making money!"

Vishnyak laughed and said: "They can also run for office and flatter people. They are experts at this!"

As he said that, he turned around and asked Li Xiao: "What are you going to do?"

Li Xiao smiled and winked at him and said, "What else can I do? Of course I'll pay him to forgive him!"

Vishniak said in surprise: "Are you sure? I thought you would humiliate him and tell him to get out!"

Li Xiao curled his lips and said: "How could I be so reckless? What's the use of doing that? It's meaningless except forcing him to die!"

As he spoke, he sighed and said: "If I were in Wallachia, I would definitely take care of him, but I can't do this in St. Petersburg. Although it is not difficult to crush him to death, I am not worried about him jumping over the wall in a hurry, but the consequences afterwards It’s very troublesome. We can’t take the initiative to be at the forefront at this moment, so we should keep a low profile and be obscene and develop!”

Vishniak and Muravyov nodded. They did not raise objections because they knew that Li Xiao must have done this for a reason. The most important thing was that Li Xiao continued: "It just so happens that we are going to do this next What you do requires a lot of money, and these silverfish money can be considered to have a real effect..."
