Chapter 321 The Speechless Shuvalov (Part 2)

Is Shuvalov stupid? Of course he is not stupid, he can be said to be one of the few smart people in Russia, so did he listen to Grand Duke Nicholas' reminder just now?

Naturally, I also listened to it. Even, he thought a lot at that moment. He immediately realized that Grand Duke Nicholas had a problem with his attitude. It stands to reason that Grand Duke Nicholas shouldn't have told him so much, especially how he was reported.

Because these are surveillance methods, if they are all exposed, will he still be fooled?

But Grand Duke Nicholas just said it all carelessly. In Shuvalov's view, there are only two possibilities.

But does this possibility exist? It is true that the Grand Duke's ability is mediocre and a bit incomprehensible, but he definitely doesn't know the importance of this case. It is even more impossible not to know the consequences of what he said.

That being the case, there is only one other possibility, that is, the Grand Duke deliberately released the water to let him know!

why?

A smart person like Shuvalov immediately thought that Grand Duke Nicholas might not care about his life or death, nor did he show favor to Uvarov, but wagged his tail at Crown Prince Alexander.

Now most of the Russian nobles have realized that Alexander's crown prince has a stable position and is likely to become the next tsar. Then it is very necessary to please the future tsar, even a nobleman like the grand duke Nicholas must be licked, after all, just relying on the grand duke's name alone is not enough to get along in Russia, and life is too easy Not good, their life will be easier only if they please the future emperor brother.

so...

Shuvalov immediately understood what Grand Duke Nicholas meant, and it must be said that this made him as excited as a drowning man grabbing a lifebuoy. He felt that hope suddenly came again!

It's just that Shuvalov has always been cautious in doing things. He knows very well that although Grand Duke Nicholas intends to show favor to Crown Prince Alexander, it is still hard to say how far this kind of favor can reach.

After all, this case was too involved. If it was just a general show of favor, he would probably be rejected if he asked Grand Duke Nicholas for help, and it might even lead to other variables.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the position of Grand Duke Nicholas and see what the Grand Duke means.

Naturally, Shuvalov was not in a hurry, not to mention that in his opinion, besides Grand Duke Nicholas, there were two other gendarmes watching in this interrogation room.

This is not suitable for in-depth chat at all!

What if the two gendarmes were Count Rostovtsev's undercover agents? Isn't it a waste of effort to bury Grand Duke Nicholas, the only noble person who can help him turn the tables?

Naturally, Shuvalov pretended not to understand anything, and even deliberately hurled insults at Grand Duke Nicholas. In fact, this is all acting skills!

The problem is that Grand Duke Nicholas is not as smart as Shuvalov, and he doesn't have a particularly good impression of Shuvalov. So Shuvalov's acting skills successfully deceived him, making him feel that his kindness was taken as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he suddenly became angry again.

For a moment, Grand Duke Nicholas really wanted to ignore Shuvalov's life and death, but Count Rostovtsev just dealt with him. In the end, at least Grand Duke Mikhail's warning played a little role, allowing him to suppress the anger in his heart and supplement the advice just now.

Naturally, Shuvalov could hear this advice, but he felt weird in his heart, because he didn't need Grand Duke Nicholas' advice at all, and he would not continue to try to win over the gendarme or other people in the manor.

And Grand Duke Nicholas's yelling made him feel very sick. He felt that the Grand Duke's mind was really almost meaningless. Can't you see that I am acting? I can't hold your hand and say thank you for your warning!

Shuvalov knew the level of Grand Duke Nikolai. From his point of view, the Grand Duke was actually a pig, and he might even be a pig teammate. It's just that the only thing he can rely on now is this pig teammate. He has to carefully organize his words, hinting to the Grand Duke as clearly as possible, letting him know that he has understood.

Not to mention how troubled Shuvalov was in the interrogation room, after Count Rostovtsev left the interrogation room, he did not interrogate Viscount Sivakov as he told Grand Duke Nicholas.

Because the viscount was not important to him at all. The reason why the viscount was captured was to continue to put pressure on Shuvalov, to let him know that it was impossible to communicate with the outside world on his own.

Why did Count Rostovtsev do this? The reason is simple, he just hopes that Shuvalov will get on line with Grand Duke Nicholas as soon as possible, so that he can start the next stage of the plan.

Sergey asked him very puzzled: "Why do you want Shuvalov to pass the news to the outside world?"

In fact, what Sergey wants to say is why not detain Shuvalov firmly, crucify his charges, and then take advantage of the victory and pursue all the conservatives in Ukraine in one fell swoop?

Count Rostovtsev glanced at him and said calmly: "Because this is impossible! It is true that Shuvalov is closely related to this case, but you cannot say or prove that other conservatives in Ukraine follow Shuva Love participated in this case. Even if they did participate, with Count Uvarov's methods and Shuvalov's cleverness, they would cut off their wrists and let Shuvalov bear all the charges alone. What's the use?"

Sergey was stunned. Although he knew that politics was cruel, he was still surprised by how cruel it was. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "So Shuvalov is willing to be a scapegoat?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled immediately, and asked: "So what if he is not reconciled? Maybe being a scapegoat may be miserable, but if he can't control his mouth and talk nonsense, with Uvarov's ruthlessness, He will only get worse."

Sergey stopped talking immediately, while Count Rostovtsev continued to explain: "Therefore, it is meaningless to crucify Shuvalov directly. What we have to do is to put great pressure on him, and then open him up on purpose." A window through which he put all the conservatives in Kiev into this case one by one, do you understand?"

Sergey nodded at first, and then asked in doubt: "But, it would be bad if Grand Duke Nicholas was involved? Your Majesty certainly doesn't want to see this case involving the royal family, just in case..."
