Chapter 1488: Finding a New Way?

Although Count Rostovtsev was more teasing and joking, it also made Li Xiao understand how important this information is.

After reading this information carefully, he found that Count Rostovtsev was not joking, and it was indeed necessary to take notes on this information.

This thick information records in detail every bit of Count Uvarov in the past 25 years, covering all the details of his daily life and his treatment of people. As long as you read this information carefully, you can basically find out everything about him.

Li Xiao was a little shocked at how Count Rostovtsev collected this information. Could he be so powerful as to plant spies around Count Uvarov?

This possibility is really not high. Anyway, he can't figure out how that old shady guy did it.

After reading this information, Li Xiao felt that Count Uvarov was a cautious, vindictive and narrow-minded hypocrite.

On the surface, this person advocates a lifestyle that conforms to the teachings of the Orthodox Church, allowing people to restrain their desires and work hard. But behind the scenes, he indulged himself in lust, had countless lovers, and also amassed wealth everywhere.

But you say he is a double-faced bastard, but he is indeed very capable, firmly controlling people's hearts and raising the power and status of the Tsar to an unprecedented level.

This is a complex hypocrite, and he cannot be simply labeled to distinguish him.

Moreover, he is not lacking in forbearance, and he can be humble and act like a grandson in order to achieve his goals.

Such a person is very difficult to deal with no matter how you look at it. If you can't beat him to death with one stick, you will face his endless revenge next. The information of Count Rostovtsev recorded that he endured humiliation for more than ten years and then crushed his political enemies to ashes.

Li Xiao didn't want to follow in the footsteps of that person.

After reading so much information, the only thing that made Li Xiao a little puzzled was that there was no handle on Count Uvarov. It is said that a person like him cannot be without evidence, and with the attention Count Rostovtsev paid to him, he could not ignore his evidence.

But the problem is that there is really nothing in this document that can be used to kill the Count.

At best, it is just some personal problems. As for taking bribes by taking advantage of one's position, these are all unspoken rules in the officialdom. If you really want to investigate this carefully, there are few clean people.

What's more, Count Uvarov took bribes in a very covert way, going around in circles. As long as he wants, he can throw out several scapegoats in a minute. It is very difficult to implicate him.

For a while, Li Xiao was very embarrassed. If he only started from these things, it would be very difficult to completely bring down Count Uvarov.

But if he didn't start from these, he would have no evidence to catch. Is this the self-cultivation of the old officials in the officialdom, and each of them wrapped up their weaknesses tightly without giving people any loopholes to exploit?

"You want to deal with that old guy?"

Just when Li Xiao was having the most headache, Vishniak suddenly found him and bluntly stated his purpose.

"I can help you!"

Well, Li Xiao was really embarrassed, because Vishniak was the son of Count Uvarov after all, and it was a bit unreasonable to discuss how to kill the father in front of his son.

Vishniak shrugged and said, "What's wrong with this? I hate that bastard more than anyone else. If I can kill him, I will wake up laughing in my dreams!"

Looking at Vishniak's resolute look, Li Xiao was very embarrassed. As the old saying goes, estrangement does not separate relatives. Maybe Vishniak is full of opinions about Count Uvarov now, and he wants to eat his flesh alive.

But who can say what will happen in the future? After all, blood is thicker than water. What if Vishniak suddenly regrets it one day in the future?

How will he see himself at that time? Maybe we can't be friends anymore, right?

"Vishka, I understand your feelings," Li Xiao said slowly, "but I think it's better for you not to get involved in this matter. This is for your own good and for our friendship."

Vishniak shook his head firmly and said, "No, please allow me to refuse. I know what you are worried about, but I have to say that this is completely unnecessary... Maybe he is my father physically, but he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. He has left me and my mother with endless pain. If these hatreds cannot be redressed, I will never be able to let go in my life! I want to end him with my own hands and put an end to this complicated relationship!"

Vishniak is rarely so determined. Looking at his appearance, you can tell that he will not back down. This undoubtedly makes Li Xiao feel under great pressure. After a while, he sighed helplessly: "My friend, history tells me that you will regret it, so I will persuade you for the last time not to get involved in this matter. Just assume that you know nothing, okay?"

The answer to him was Vishniak's firm shake of his head. In view of this, Li Xiao had to sigh again and reluctantly agreed.

"You are in trouble now, right?" Vishniak asked.

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I can't find any evidence against Count Uvarov. The things Count Rostovtsev gave me can't do anything to him..."

Vishniac sneered, "I'm not surprised at all. That hypocrite is best at covering up his ugly and evil side! The bad things he has done are too numerous to list, and the crimes he has committed are too numerous to count. If he hadn't been more careful, wouldn't he have been finished long ago?"

Li Xiao felt that Vishniac was a little exaggerated. Strictly speaking, Count Uvarov was already good compared to many noble children. There were countless nobles who were worse than him. Aren't those people good at hiding their crimes?

Obviously not. It can only be said that Count Uvarov didn't have so many small problems, but the big problems that were fatal were not easy to catch. This is the difficulty.

Vishniac pinched his forehead: "You are right to say that. Small problems can't bring him down, and big problems can't be found. It's really difficult to deal with."

Li Xiao curled his lips, looking like he didn't need you to say it, but he didn't expect Vishniac to suddenly say: "But his impeccableness doesn't mean that his sons are also impeccable!"

Li Xiao was stunned, because this was a bit too harsh. If you can't deal with the old one, you have to deal with the young one. Isn't this too shameless?

But on the other hand, this is indeed a way out. Are Count Uvarov's children as difficult to deal with as his father?

Obviously not. According to the information Li Xiao knows, his two sons Nikolai and Vladimir are not easy to deal with. It can be said that they are very brave and do not care about meat and vegetables!
