Bruning never thought that things would become like this. He was just a trivial person, but he was inexplicably involved in such a big thing like a fight between gods. He almost hurt his wife and children. What do you call this?
.
After seeing his wife and children away, he sat in the carriage without saying a word. He silently thought about what happened and tried hard to figure out the inside story. He knew that only by truly understanding the purpose of these two groups, he was lucky.
The possibility of paying it back is slightly higher.
He knew that he now had two choices before him. One was to cooperate with Anton honestly. Not only did the other party's actions have a bottom line, but more importantly, they promised to let him leave alive. This was still a big deal for him.
Very attractive.
But there are many problems, because Anton's bottom line is probably a way to deceive him into honest cooperation, and he can also turn against him after the matter is completed. So Bruning is still unsure.
As for another way, that is to explain Anton's intervention to Petrovna. He believed that as long as he reported it, Petrovna and the people behind her would be highly appreciated.
But, this kind of praise is of no use. In addition to being able to discover the enemy's correction plan hidden behind the scenes in advance and achieve great success, I'm afraid he will still be killed and silenced in the end. After all, he knows too much, and there are still many things.
There is no way to explain the person who handles the release order from Zhenya. After all, the person who wants to be released is an imperial prisoner.
In other words, he will take the blame no matter what. If he doesn't take the blame, Bestuzhev and Liu Ming will not be brought down at all.
In order to prevent him from taking the blame or telling his story after being arrested, the only way is to shut him up forever.
So in the end, even if Bruning helped Petrovna and the forces behind her, he might still be dead. In that case, why was he so stupid?
This detour is not particularly difficult to turn around. The reason why Bruning is so hesitant is more due to luck and information asymmetry.
Needless to say, there is no need to say too much about the fluke mentality. Everyone has it, and it is not surprising that Bruning has it. As for the information asymmetry, it is because he doesn't understand Anton very well.
Bruning could more or less know who was behind Petrovna, because it was not difficult to guess at all. Count Shuvalov's identity and status were clearly laid out there.
To Bruning, this count was an out-and-out big shot, a giant who could blow him away if he sneezed. He naturally knew how powerful Count Shuvalov was, and Anton was
The side is obscure and unclear.
Although some of his abilities are pretty cool, being able to find him and his secrets casually, and daring to cause trouble with Count Shuvalov should really be awesome.
But this awesomeness is not intuitive. Even if Bruning thinks it is a bit awesome, he still subconsciously thinks that it may be a little worse than Count Shuvalov. In other words, he thinks that the reason why Anton secretly engages in conspiracy is because
There is no way to have an arm-wrestling with Count Shuvalov openly.
And this impression made him unable to make up his mind. After all, no one dared to entrust his wealth and life to a weak party.
This hesitation lasted for a long time. If Anton did not need Bruning to do anything for the time being, he would only need to approach Zhenya step by step and try to get the warrant. There would be no other steps, otherwise this person would have to be a gangster.
It was at this time that the person who decided the direction of the matter appeared, and this person was none other than Petrovna.
Petrovna was actually similar to Bruning. After learning Shuvalov's true purpose, she was also excited and nervous. But unlike Bruning, she had no chance to hesitate.
, after all, Anton did not go to find her.
Of course, there was a reason not to find her, and it was a particularly correct decision. Because no matter how you look at it, the relationship between Petrovna and Shuvalov is too close. She is unlikely to be as easy to persuade as Bruning, let alone
It is unlikely to betray Shuvalov.
Therefore, it was pointless to reason with her, and through Anton's observation, he found that Petrovna was a very extraordinary woman, and her thoughts were much more complicated than Bruning's, and there was no way to control her.
If you really look for her, this woman may have many strange thoughts as soon as she turns around, and may want to sell it at a price or do other things.
Not only Bruning knows how to measure risks, Li Xiao and Anton also naturally have to measure risks. There is no doubt that Petrovna is too risky and should not be contacted!
So how did Petrovna become the key figure in leading the situation? The reason lies in her private meeting with Bruning. Shuvalov will definitely not contact Bruning personally, because according to his plan,
Lu Ning is 100% going to be sacrificed. How can he have anything to do with his fellow rebels?
Therefore, the task he gave Bruning could only be conveyed by Petrovna. It would not matter if Petrovna was just a walkie-talkie. The bad thing is that as mentioned before, this woman is too thoughtful, and she is also weighing
Risk is also trying to grasp some leverage to check Shuvalov. When she contacts Bruning, she does not just pass on messages.
"Felix, what's going on over there with Zhenia? Haven't you gotten the stuff yet?"
Bruning was still undecided in his mind, how could he hand over the warrant? As long as he gave it away, there would be no chance of regret. It was impossible for him to do so for the time being.
He could only lie and said: "That woman said that Fioning is very troublesome and an important prisoner. It will be difficult to release him!"
Petrovna frowned. She didn't know whether it was because Bruning was not doing things well, or because Zhenya realized the importance of Fioning and was unwilling to get involved, which might make things difficult, which made her feel that Bruning was too useless.
used.
But no matter what the reason was, she did not express it clearly in the end. She just encouraged: "Okay, I will leave the matter to you. You should know the seriousness of the matter. The five hundred thousand rubles are not so easy to get."
.Felix, I must remind you, be more careful and don’t play other tricks!”
Bruning quickly assured: "Don't worry, I know the severity, and I will work harder to make that woman obey!"
Petrovna nodded slowly and said: "That's good. I believe in your ability. As long as you show your true ability, Zhenia is nothing to worry about... But I still have to remind you.
, this matter is very important, more important than you imagine. If you don't handle it well, it won't just be you who will be implicated, but I will also suffer. Don't let me down!"
