Chapter 410: People's Hearts Are Dangerous (Part 2)
Raffle is really strange, because he has always been regarded as Petrovna's vassal or slave. Neither Earl Shuvalov nor Viscount Prozolov had ever intended to consult him. No matter what request they had, the first thing they thought of was Petrovna. He felt that as long as Petrovna agreed, he would not agree. have to agree.
In fact, even Raffle himself was used to this kind of differential treatment, and he also felt that he was Petrovna's servant, as long as the mistress made a decision, he would resolutely implement it.
The only thing that made him happy was that Petrovna still respected him, never treated him as a slave, and no matter what decision she made, she would always consider it from his point of view.
Compared with the nobles that Ralph had seen, this was not known how much better. Other nobles would basically not treat serfs as human beings.
But this time Anton actually told him that if he didn't agree, the consequence would be that Petrovna would die with him. Although the result was bad, it was considered to be a consultation of his opinion, giving him the decision-making power for the first time.
Although this power is of little significance, it still feels good to Raffle, at least he feels that he is more or less a person, not an accessory.
After thinking about it, Raffle asked, "Madam, did she agree to cooperate with you?"
Anton smiled and said, "Do you think she will refuse?"
This question is a good one, because based on Lavre's understanding of Petrovna, she will definitely not refuse. Although she will not agree immediately, she may try to bargain, but in the end she will definitely choose to agree.
It's just that Raffle guessed it himself, and he would never agree to it before meeting Petrovna. But this is not a problem for Anton at all. Anyway, as long as Raffle does not stubbornly resist and resist, there will be no problem.
Sure enough, when Lavre met with Petrovna, his attitude immediately changed, and he readily agreed to all Anton's requests, such as dealing with Viscount Prozolov according to his orders.
Of course, Raffle felt a little guilty at first. After all, Viscount Prozolov treated him fairly well, admired him very much, and planned to promote him. And now he actually wants to cheat him with outsiders, which makes him feel a little bit sorry.
It's just that this kind of regret disappeared after he finished his meeting with Viscount Prozolov. Raffle is not an idiot. With Anton's information and his own analysis, it is not difficult to guess what Viscount Prozolov meant.
"He seems to be about to give up his wife, and he intends to silence me..."
Anton also came to the same conclusion after listening to Raffle's words. Apparently, Grand Duke Constantine was going to turn his back on him once again and ruthlessly put on his pants and refused to recognize anyone. He wasn't surprised by this at all, because it wasn't the first time that guy had done this.
"It's normal," Anton replied very calmly, "He's the best at doing such unscrupulous things."
Ralph looked at Anton in surprise, because the amount of information in these words was a bit large, and it was not difficult to see that the gendarmerie major was very familiar with Grand Duke Constantine, and it was not the first time he had heard what he meant. Once dealt with. It is very likely that he has seen the Grand Duke use similar methods.
This discovery made Ralph a little frightened. After all, Grand Duke Constantine can be regarded as a high-level empire, which obviously has involved high-level internal fighting. And is this level of secret convenient for a pawn like him to know?
And is it really good for him to know? Shouldn't he be silenced too?
Anyway, Laph didn't want to know at all. If possible, he hoped that Anton didn't say anything. It's just that Anton told him on purpose, because Li Xiao told him to try to deter Laph and Petrovna. , because both the master and the servant are a bit difficult to control, they must know the seriousness of the matter, and let them know their means!
"It's not the first time we have dealt with the Grand Duke and the Viscount, and we are familiar with their characters and tricks. Let's take the matter of your mistress as an example. It is said that your mistress is the biggest contributor to their escape from the initial passive situation. Not to mention rewarding heroes like you, at least you can’t just throw it away after you use it up!”
These words reached Raffle's heart, and he was also a little unhappy about it. Without Petrovna's information, Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov might be beaten to death by Shuvalov, but they got it. Earl Shuvalov is planning to abandon their master and servant after the handle, how can this be tolerated!
Anton said again: "Let's put it this way, if you have been serving the Grand Duke and Viscount, you will find out how dirty they are. The end result of you is nothing more than being squeezed out of the last bit of value, and then silenced .”
Anton glanced at Raffle, and said with a sneer, "Don't be surprised, it's inevitable, because you know too many secrets that you shouldn't know, the Grand Duke and the Viscount will never let such a person go!"
Raffle remained silent, because he had expected this result a long time ago, and he had warned Petrovna when she agreed to cooperate with Viscount Prozolov. It's just that they had no choice but to cooperate with Viscount Prozolov.
It's just that Ralph is not a child, and he knows what Anton's purpose is for saying these words, so he is not polite, and sneers: "Then you and your master are better than them?"
Anton was waiting for this sentence, and immediately replied: "Yes, much better than them. At least we are much more humane!"
Ralph asked coldly again: "Where can I prove this?"
Anton chuckled, and suddenly asked, "Bruning and Fioning are names you are familiar with, right?"
Ralph was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. He looked at Anton in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
After a while he stammered and asked, "It was you...you saved Bruning...?"
Anton smiled and said, "That's a good guess. I'm glad you have such a keen thinking ability, which will be very helpful to your future work. Yes, it was us who rescued Bruning. In other words, you Everything we see in Kiev now is driven and caused by us!"
Raffle felt his ears buzzing, everything made sense, no wonder Petrovna was arrested, no wonder the other party asked them to monitor Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov...
