Chapter 88
Count Vladimir is a proud man. After making the decision to pay and clean up Arkady, he didn't take care of this matter. He can't manage other aspects of the business, and he doesn't need to take care of the life and death of a mere Arkady.
It wasn't until the third day after paying the money that he accidentally realized that there seemed to be something he hadn't done well.
"What? They never came back?"
Count Vladimir was shocked when he learned that the guards he sent to deal with Arkady hadn't returned: "Why didn't you tell me? Are you all just eating?"
To be honest, the poor subordinates of Count Vladimir feel very wronged, because they are not responsible for this matter, okay? In the past, this kind of mess was the work of Arkady, and he, the military adviser, was responsible for reporting. Now he has been disposed of and Count Vladimir has not appointed anyone else to take over, so how can they blame them?
Count Vladimir was so angry that he wanted to slap his cheeks. He suddenly realized that it might be a mistake to deal with Arkady so early. It's trash, and it's not reliable at all.
It's just that even if Count Vladimir regretted it, it was too late. From the moment he decided to deal with Arkady, their relationship could not go back. So after losing his temper angrily, Count Vladimir could only quickly send someone to see what was going on.
Of course, Count Vladimir also knew that the situation would definitely not be very good, because although his subordinates were useless, they would not completely disobey orders, and it was impossible for them to have no news at all. He suspected that something might have happened to these people.
Even Count Vladimir has already guessed - it should be the name of Count Speranski's people. That bastard must have sent someone to watch him, so it is very likely that he discovered the murder and silence. Maybe Alka Ji, the bastard, has already fallen into his hands, and he has even become a 25-year-old boy!
It should be said that Count Vladimir's guess is reasonable, which also proves that he still has some brains, because the facts are almost the same as his guess. Arkady was indeed saved by Anton's people at a critical moment. At this time, he took a small life, and soon fought back under Li Xiao's coercion and lure.
Just when Count Vladimir realized that something was wrong, Alexei's people visited again and "invited" this guy to the governor's mansion.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Is this a plan to kidnap me openly?"
Count Vladimir knew very well that Alexei was going to settle accounts with him,
But he definitely can't give up so quickly, he has to struggle to the death no matter what.
"Kidnapping you? Where does this come from?"
Compared with Count Vladimir's pretentious posture, Alexei seemed much more calm and calm, and he replied unhurriedly:
"Please come here because there are some things that need to be verified with you in person, because if these things are bad and spread out, it will cause a huge blow to the reputation of the empire, so I have to handle it carefully!"
Count Vladimir was startled, and felt more and more that Alexei's words were not good, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little nervous. He tried to calm down and asked, "Really? Is there such a thing? "
Alexei smiled and said, "Yes, because there is evidence that the Earl was involved in a murder case. What do you think is the nature of this?"
Count Vladimir chuckled in his heart, he knew that Alexei was talking about Arkady. But he wasn't particularly nervous, and even heaved a sigh of relief, because he didn't think it was a big deal.
So he pretended to be surprised and screamed: "This is pure slander and framing. I have always obeyed the law. How could I participate in any murder case? Someone must have deliberately framed me!"
Alexei smiled, and seemed to be very disapproving of Count Vladimir's defense. He asked slowly: "Really? The problem is that the murderer was caught by the military police. After interrogation, they confessed to the crime and said All of this was ordered by you..."
Count Vladimir was panicking with hatred in his heart. He hated those guards who were ineffective. He felt that these gangsters were not only ineffective but also implicated their masters. They were simply waste snacks.
Of course, he was still not particularly afraid. He felt that even with the testimony of Arkady and the guards, he was still the wild son of Count Nicholas I of the Empire, and he wanted to destroy him with just this little thing? It's a joke.
He snorted contemptuously: "I said it, this is a complete lie and a frame-up. These people were definitely instructed to deliberately frame me. These accusations are all false!"
Alexei looked at the calm and calm Count Vladimir and felt a little emotional in his heart. In a sense, the testimony of the guards and Arkady alone could not bring down Count Vladimir. In Russia, where the absolute rule of man In society, an aristocrat with the status of Count Vladimir cannot be knocked down by the testimony of a few ordinary people. Even if the testimony this time is true, Count Vladimir will be given a lighter punishment at the final sentencing, who made his father awesome.
It's just that, all of this is based on the fact that Arkady and the guards are relatively ordinary. If the person who wants to engage Count Vladimir is also a powerful nobleman, then the situation will be different. For example now:
Alexei smiled and said: "Are they all fake? Then, Your Excellency, may I ask whether Arkady Viginsky, Joseph Dorokin, Boris Stravich and others have nothing to do with you?" Is it related?"
Count Vladimir glared at Alexei coldly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Does they have anything to do with me or not has anything to do with this case?"
Alexei smiled and said, "Of course it does. The testimony of the military police proves that Joseph Dorokin, Boris Stravic and others coerced Arkady Viginsky out of your mansion and went out of the city to prepare Murder... When Arkady was rescued, he admitted to be your private secretary, and Joseph Dorokin and Boris Stravich were your guards, please tell me your guards Didn't you have anything to do with coercing your private secretary out of your mansion to commit murder?"
Count Vladimir was still so cold, he snorted again: "Even if they are my guards and secretary, are all their actions related to me? I really don't care!"
