Pushkin did not disappoint Li Xiao. Shuvalov was taken to the military police headquarters and put into a single room, euphemistically called waiting for interrogation.
The treatment in this single room is really good. The furnishings are high-end, and it provides a variety of fine wines and refreshments, as well as comfortable leather sofas for resting. In order to ensure the safety of Shuvalov, a big man, four security guards were arranged at the door and outside the window.
Guarded by two guards, no one can get close to Shuvalov without Pushkin's order!
"What do you mean?" Shuvalov knew as soon as he saw this treatment that he was probably under house arrest. This was completely different from what he expected!
According to his idea, when he arrived at the military police headquarters, both Razumovsky and Pushkin could only raise their hands and let him go. But who would have thought that when he entered the headquarters, they would tell him: "Our commander"
He's not here. He's suffering from a sudden illness and is recuperating! What? The deputy commander, the deputy commander went out to direct the search for spies, he's not here!"
In short, he could not see either Pushkin or Razumovsky. As for whether these two were really sick and went out on missions, it was hard to say. Anyway, Shu
Valov would not believe such strange talk.
But he didn't believe it and had no choice, because he had already entered the tiger's mouth and it was not up to him to make the final decision. He also tried to fight with the guards at the door, but they told him with bayonets that this method would not work!
So Shuvalov could only sulk in the reception room. He knew that this time he would probably lose everything!
On the other side, Pushkin, who was said to have gone out to arrange a spy mission, was chatting and laughing with Li Xiao and others. For them, they had taken care of Belkh and Razumovsky, and detained Shuvalo.
As for their husband, the unstable factor, all the people who could cause trouble for them have been dealt with. Now they just need to do their own thing step by step.
"This Count Shuvalov is really angry. He started making a fuss as soon as he came in, and he didn't stop for several hours."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "That's normal. This guy is not easy to get along with. If he hadn't met two holdbacks like Belkh and Razumovsky this time, he wouldn't have been so easy to deal with!
"
Pushkin nodded. He had already heard what the previous military police chief had said about how he invited Shuvalov. This man was indeed very difficult to deal with.
He asked: "According to the previous plan, will he be detained for three days?"
Li Xiao nodded and said: "Well, under strict supervision, not only must he not be allowed to escape, but he must also be cut off from all channels of contact with the outside world. He must not be released until the imperial edict arrives in Sevastopol."
Muravyov was a little surprised by these words. He asked: "Does it need to be so severe? Now he should be the only one in Sevastopol. What kind of rumors can be made? What if he reports to the superiors in the future?
The Black Sea Fleet military police arrest people indiscriminately and are inefficient, which is also a problem!"
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "Compared with that little trouble, the stability now is better than anything else. We must not relax until the imperial edict arrives in Sevastopol. Shuvalov can set off a three-foot wave even if there is no wind."
, he must be treated with the greatest harshness!"
Muravyov and others were frightened by these words. It was not that Li Xiao was making a fuss, but that someone as powerful as Li Xiao would be so fearful. How difficult it would be to deal with Shuva in the future.
You must be more careful when eating Count Love, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!
Seeing that everyone was in a heavy mood, Li Xiao smiled and changed the topic: "Now the overall situation has basically been decided, we can discuss the subsequent tasks!"
Indeed, getting rid of Belkh and ensuring that the Black Sea Fleet is not buried in nails is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to allow the Black Sea Fleet to play a greater role in the future. However, because this victory included Kornilov and Nassimov in
Inside, everyone felt generally relieved. This was probably their most comfortable day since Lazarev's death.
Everyone was talking and laughing while thinking about the future, and they unknowingly mentioned Grand Duke Constantine. They were not particularly familiar with Grand Duke Kornilov and others. They just heard that he was inclined to reform, so they generally had a negative impression of him.
It still has certain expectations.
Seeing this, Li Xiao had to remind you: "Gentlemen, there are some things I have to remind you about Grand Duke Constantine. Although my cousin is a staunch reformist, the most important starting point for doing things is actually for himself.
…”
After a short pause, he saw Kornilov and others looking towards him, and then he continued: "You should have heard more or less that my cousin actually has an unreasonable desire for the throne. He
I always wanted to prove that I was stronger than Alexander and more suitable to become the next Tsar."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone else in the room changed their colors, because everyone, including Muravyov, actually acquiesced in the status of Crown Prince Alexander. For them, maybe this Crown Prince has such and such problems.
, but there is not much controversy about his succession to the throne.
But now Li Xiao suddenly told them that Grand Duke Constantine intends to compete for the throne. This is really shocking. Those here are not children, so they naturally know the consequences of brother Ni Qiang. Back then, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich and
Nicholas I's humility regarding the throne almost caused a big incident. What if Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander got into a fight?
Especially Kornilov and Nasimov's expressions changed dramatically, because Grand Duke Constantine will become their immediate boss and they will be asked to serve this grand Duke with different ambitions. They also feel a little awkward and uneasy.
!
Li Xiao noticed the change in everyone's expressions and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't have to be too nervous. Just do your job well. Anyway, don't get too close to the Grand Duke, otherwise you may be in danger... I
The main reason I tell you this is to remind you that my cousin sometimes does things from very impure motives, and what he wants to do may have ulterior motives, so we must be careful and don't fall into the trap foolishly!"
Everyone looked at each other for a while. This news really made them a little overwhelmed. They originally thought that they had a good leader and could finally get rid of the bastard Belhe. Who knew that they had just beaten away the jackals but ushered in the tigers again? I really mean it.
I can’t find a place to live!
Seeing that everyone was a little frustrated, Li Xiao could only encourage: "I am just saying this just in case. I am not afraid to tell you that Alexey and I are also very afraid of dealing with him, because he is really a combination of an angel and a devil.
