Chapter 431 Stepping on Two Boats (Part 2)

There has never been a so-called complete trust in the officialdom. How to avoid risks and how to exchange the smallest investment for the greatest return is what the veterans in the officialdom are most passionate about.

It's just that the old Adlerberg's request really embarrassed the younger Adlerberg. He knew very well that his old man didn't ask him to leak relevant information to Bariatinsky and his gang. Because then it is not to step on two boats but to be a real two-five boy.

And even if his father wants to leak the news, there must be news to leak. Count Uvarov only said to deal with Baryatinsky, but he didn't say how and when to do it at all. How could he leak the news?

You can't let him make up false news, right? But once the fake news is exposed, it will not seriously offend Bariatinsky and his gang, and they will not be able to play happily together in the future!

The old Adlerberg sighed, and he was really a little disappointed with the young Adlerberg. He used to think that this son was quite smart, and he could see through everything. Maybe he could really become one of the best existences in Russian official circles. .

And since the tumble in Wallachia a few years ago, the kid's weaknesses have been exposed. Cleverness is there, but it is not down-to-earth, which makes those cleverness more like petty cleverness.

Cleverness in officialdom often leads to major mistakes, and not all bosses like cleverness. The most important thing is that these little cleverness are often useless when they come to see the truth, it seems that he is so anxious.

For example, was the task just now really that difficult?

Old Adlerberg didn't think it was that difficult. Thinking about how Count Rostovtsev became a second-year-old boy in the winter more than 20 years ago, it is a living and high-quality example, okay?

At that time, they didn't know the core secrets of the Decembrists, and when they went to inform them, their language skills were superb, as if they had said everything, but they didn't seem to say anything. Anyway, regardless of whether it was Nicholas I or the Decembrists who won the final victory, Count Rostovtsev would at least be fine.

And think about what the family was like back then? If you don't do it well, you will lose your head, okay, but everyone can perform so well. And today there is no risk of losing your head at all, you can't even do this little thing well, it's a world of difference, okay?

However, the old Adlerberg did not teach young Adlerberg a lesson, because the old fox knew that a lesson was useless, and this kid was already established, and it wasn't a lesson that would make him develop by leaps and bounds.

So he just said calmly: "Then you just make up a story and tell them that this is what you accidentally found out!"

Little Adlerberg was a little confused,

He never thought that the old man actually asked him to make up a story. What does this mean? Did the old man drink too much?

But the old man's face is not red and he walks without swaying, and he speaks clearly and clearly, he doesn't look like he's drunk too much!

How is this going?

Old Adlerberg was furious when he saw that he was not enlightened. How could this kid be so stupid? Can't you understand such a simple truth? What a waste of his precepts and deeds for so many years!

Old Adlerberg sighed again: "Whether you made up a story or not is not important, the important thing is that you informed Bariatinsky of the news! Even if the story you made up is not true, could Count Uvarov want to Isn't it true to deal with them too?"

It was only at this moment that little Adlerberg suddenly realized that he understood, in fact, it was enough for him to report the news. As for making up stories, it doesn't matter at all, as long as Bariatinsky knows that he is on their side and thinks he is one of them, it is worth more than gold!

As for the fabricated story not being true enough? Then what's the problem? After all, he also said that it was a gossip that he inquired inadvertently. How can the gossip be true? Don't you see that there are gossips circulating in the market in St. Petersburg, let alone the fake nine truths, I am afraid that one out of a hundred gossips is true, thank God.

As for whether Bariatinsky will be misled, it depends on Adlerberger's ability to make up stories. If the story is just right, it can not only attract Bariatinsky's attention, but also prevent others from being misled. Undue importance. In this way, even if Count Uvarov finally made a move, he would only think that there was a deviation in the spread of gossip, and he would not think that it was Little Adlerberg who made a name for himself.

After getting the true biography from the old Adlerberg, the little Adlerberg was much more relaxed. He thought carefully all night and made up several different versions of the story. After tasting by the old Adlerberg, He confidently told the story to Bariatinsky.

Then?

Then Bariatinsky was shocked by him and became a confidant?

Hey! Wake up, this is a dream. In fact, Bariatinsky didn't say anything about it, but said very coldly that he knew it. As for the reason, it is also very simple, because there are too many gossips like this, if he takes all the gossips seriously, then he won't be able to do business every day.

In fact, before Adlerberger Jr. told him the story, there were three or five people who told different versions of similar stories, but those people's stories were rougher and of a lower status than Adlerberger Jr. Well, Bariatinsky didn't even mean to be perfunctory about those people and stories, but it was enough to be perfunctory about little Adlerberg.

Of course, Bajatinsky was not in vain listening to this story, because he quickly retold it to Pobedonostsev and asked for his opinion: "Do you think it is credible?"

Pobedonostsev shook his head and said: "Not high enough, neither the news nor the little Adlerberger believe it, but considering this juncture, it's just him who is telling the news again, which is a bit strange." Intriguing!"

Bariatinsky also nodded slowly: "Indeed. The father and son have always been fools around the wall. It cannot be ruled out that the old guy may have heard a few words from Count Uvarov, and ordered him to sit on the wall to save his life." Let the son tell the story!"

"Yes, this is the most likely possibility!" Pobedonostsev sneered, "Their family is the best at doing this kind of thing, but this can also explain two things from the side!"

Bariatinsky asked with a smile, "What two things?"

"The first is that Earl Uvarov may take measures against our actions, most likely drastic measures, otherwise the old fox will not hear the news, so we have to guard against it!"

Speaking of which, Pobedonostsev smiled and said: "The second thing is that even the old fox can see that Count Uvarov is no longer what he used to be, otherwise he would not choose to ask us Tweet the news!"
