Faced with Li Xiao's rhetorical question, Alexey said angrily: "I know you too well. You are definitely not like this when you are nervous! Tell me, do you have any clues about the assassin?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "No! These guys are all veterans and they did it very neatly. They even silenced their own people before escaping. How could they get another clue?"
Alexei looked at him with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "In that case? How can you still be so relaxed? I feel dizzy now when I think of His Majesty's questioning. Although the Golitsyn family is not as good as before, it is still a family after all.
Marquis!"
Li Xiao hugged his shoulders and patted his back to comfort him: "Don't worry, relax! Relax!"
But Alexey smiled bitterly and interrupted: "How can I relax? Count Vladimir's troubles are not over yet, and something like this happened again. It's like the tree is quiet but the wind is not stopping!"
Speaking of this, Alexey seemed to suddenly remember something. He lowered his voice and leaned into Li Xiao's ear and asked: "You are responsible for Count Vladimir's scarlet fever, right? You are too efficient!"
Li Xiao tilted his neck and said, "Do you believe me when I say I didn't do it?"
Alexei smiled and said: "Of course I believe it! Hehe, but you did a really good job! I sent someone to check it, and it was perfect! If you hadn't told me before, I would have believed Vlad
Count Kimil's illness was an accident...",
Li Xiao shook his head again and said: "Let's just focus on the assassins. I think..."
Alexey interrupted him again: "Didn't you say there are no clues?"
Li Xiao sighed again and said: "Of course there are no clues, but what clues are needed for such a thing? Anyone with a brain can guess who did it!"
Alexey's face turned red when he said this, because he really didn't guess who did it. He was completely confused, so to speak, he was thought to be brainless!
Li Xiao rolled his eyes at him, as if to say: "You just know that you have no brains!"
"It goes without saying that my good brother must have done it. Only someone from Grand Duke Constantine would do this!"
Alexey was a little confused and didn't understand the necessary causal connection between this.
Li Xiao could only explain: "For Grand Duke Constantine, as long as we don't make mistakes, he has no chance, so he can only forcefully make mistakes for us. Before, Golitsyn didn't go around spreading big words against you.
Rumors, it’s obvious that the Bucharest nobles’ calmness has disappointed them, so they can only kill Golitsyn and frame him!”
Alexey's eyes widened. He slowly connected the things together and immediately cursed: "Fuck me! So despicable and shameless!"
Li Xiao asked calmly: "Isn't that normal? Isn't that the little fat guy always like this?"
Alexei suddenly laughed bitterly: "Then why didn't you prepare in advance? Now that something has happened, what's the use of hindsight! Compared with me, you are just a fifty-step laugher, okay?"
It could be seen that Alexey was very frustrated and felt that he had fallen into the trap of Grand Duke Constantine. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find any good way to deal with it. He could only ask Li Xiao: "You have a way, right?"
Li Xiao spread his hands and said: "What can I do? I can only try to find ways to deal with it. If what I predict is true, my good brother will come to you to negotiate terms soon..."
Li Xiao's guess was correct at all. Viscount Prozolov really didn't have much patience. At least for an expert at his level, his patience was really not very good. He did come to visit him within three days.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I am here to pay you a visit on behalf of Grand Duke Constantine."
Viscount Prozolov explained his identity straight to the point as soon as he came up, for fear that Alexei would not know who was behind him. Actually, this was not necessary, because Li Xiao had already introduced Alexei to this strange person.
Brother.
"Oh?" Alexey hummed quietly, but in fact he was still very concerned about what Grand Duke Constantine wanted to do. He asked calmly: "What do you want to know from His Highness the Grand Duke's sending you here?
"
Viscount Prozolov smiled slightly and replied calmly: "You should know that I have visited His Excellency Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich before and conveyed His Highness the Grand Duke's desire for cooperation. You should have heard about this, right?
?”
Alexey replied: "Yes, but I have no interest in cooperating with His Highness the Grand Duke!"
Viscount Prozolov glanced at Alexei, and said a little confidently, a little proudly, and a little meaningfully: "Then you should be interested now, right?"
Alexey narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Why would I be interested?"
Viscount Prozolov crossed his legs and said loudly: "Your Excellency, your recent situation is not very good! Look at how many things happened in Wallachia during this period. Count Vladimir was assassinated and his life was in danger.
Marquis Golitsyn was suddenly assassinated again, and the rumors in the market are very unfavorable to you! What do you think will happen if these news reach His Majesty's ears?"
Alexey took a breath and looked at Viscount Prozolov with an increasingly bad look. This guy was obviously threatening him, but he did not get angry, but asked calmly: "Vlaki
Count Mir was assassinated? Where did you start talking about this? Why didn't I know? Where did your news come from? Do you know what it is to openly spread rumors in Wallachia?"
Viscount Prozolov was stunned. Alexei's strength was a bit beyond his expectation. According to his estimation, the other party should not have this attitude.
However, Viscount Prozolov didn't care because he felt that Alexei was just a tough talker. The current situation was that he had the upper hand and the other party had no right to resist.
"Whether Count Vladimir has been assassinated, I think you should know better than me," Viscount Prozolov smiled mysteriously and added: "You must not think that this is a trivial matter. Indeed, you are in Bucharest and Va.
Lakia can cover the sky with one hand, but don’t forget, you don’t have this ability in St. Petersburg!”
Alexei still had no expression and looked at Viscount Prozolov calmly, as if everything he said had nothing to do with him.
"There is something in your words! If you think I will be intimidated by your few words, it can only mean that you underestimate me... Now, Your Excellency, Viscount, you'd better say something, because these unscrupulous little people
The means are fundamentally unacceptable, so I advise you not to waste your words!"
