Count Rostovtsev said to Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov very calmly: "Your Highness and Count, as your Majesty's special envoys sent to handle this case. I have just heard you state a lot of opinions and opinions.
Opinion, I don’t have any conclusion about this yet. After all, this is just your one-sided statement, and the truth still needs to be investigated.”
After a pause, Count Rostovtsev first said to Grand Duke Constantine: "Your Highness, please let go of Count Shuvalov now. No matter whether your accusation is justified or the evidence is sufficient, the count is the minister of state after all."
, it’s really detrimental to the national system that you guys are arguing like this!”
"And now you don't have to worry about the count absconding in fear of crime. With me, no criminal can escape the punishment of the law. Just let go!"
Grand Duke Constantine just let go of his hand, but he obviously remembered Count Shuvalov, especially because he was filled with righteous indignation at what he just said. He glared at him angrily, as if he would pounce on him again at any time.
Same.
Shuvalov naturally saw the behavior of Grand Duke Constantine, and he was very happy to see it. He was eager for Grand Duke Constantine to make trouble. As long as Grand Duke Constantine made trouble, then even Rostov's
The imperial envoy, Count Husband, would also be troublesome, and he would have to focus most of his energy on Grand Duke Constantine, and he could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
So he shook his arm in disgust, as if the place where Grand Duke Constantine had grabbed him was stained with xiang, and his eyes were still squinting, and there was a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth, always sarcastic.
You can imagine how angry Grand Council Constantine was. The anger he had just suppressed by Count Rostovtsev suddenly ignited, but Count Rostovtsev moved faster and did not give him a chance to explode.
He immediately said to Count Shuvalov without stopping:
"Your Majesty, although His Highness the Grand Duke's accusation against you has not been proven. However, in view of the serious nature of this case, I formally announce to you that all your duties will be suspended, and a designated person will supervise you to rest temporarily in a designated place, waiting for the conclusion of the case.
"
This sentence was more effective than anything else. Grand Duke Constantine's anger that had just emerged was extinguished in half in an instant. As long as Shuvalov was unlucky, he would be happy!
Of course Shuvalov couldn't agree. He immediately yelled: "Count, what do you mean? Why should I be placed under house arrest! This is illegal!"
As he spoke, he motioned to Peter Barak to join in the objection. Although the latter did not want to intervene, given that Uvarov attached great importance to Shuvalov, it would be unreasonable for him to say nothing.
I saw him bite the bullet and said to Count Rostovtsev: "Your Excellency, this is indeed not appropriate! After all, the Count did not do anything wrong..."
Count Rostovtsev smiled calmly and said: "I think it is particularly appropriate, because His Majesty's order to me is to thoroughly investigate this case. Anyone involved in this case will be subject to my review first, and I will find out his suspicions."
Before, they were all strictly imprisoned and not allowed to have contact with the outside world to prevent interference in the investigation!"
As he said that, he gave Count Shuvalov a cold look and said: "Your Excellency the Count seems to have a close relationship with the female suspect Petrovna, so I can only grieve you and take a break for a while!"
Shuvalov became anxious now, and he quickly defended: "This is completely slander and slander. Petrovna and I have nothing to do with each other. Your Excellency the Governor has personally verified it. It is completely a rumor!"
"Has your Excellency the Governor verified it?"
Count Rostovtsev turned around and asked Peter Balak, which made the latter suddenly feel a chill. Count Rostovtsev just glanced at him and asked a question that made him tremble.
But Peter Barak couldn't evade yet, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes, I have checked it, and the relevant information can be regarded as rumors. At least I did not find that Count Shuvalov had any contact with Petrovna.
Close evidence.”
When he said these words, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and looked so guilty. But for Shuvalov, these words were enough. With Peter Barak's proof, he
Count Rostovtsev can be silenced.
It can only be said that Shuvalov was too naive and underestimated Count Rostovtsev. After hearing what Peter Balak said, he just smiled lightly and said: "Really? Record it, and Governor Peter Balak will verify it."
He found nothing about Count Shuvalov’s relationship with Petrovna!”
Peter Barak was confused and didn't understand why Count Rostovtsev recorded this sentence. Is there any problem?
Count Rostovtsev clapped his palms twice and said casually: "Your Majesty sent me here to investigate the case thoroughly. What is a thorough investigation? You should know what it means. In short
, I will re-examine all clues, all the facts of the case, and all relevant evidence. All conclusions you have drawn before will not be accepted. I have the final say on who is suspected and who is not!"
After speaking, he turned to Count Shuvalov and asked: "Now, Count, do you have any questions?"
Count Shuvalov was speechless. Count Rostovtsev was stronger than he imagined. The other party did not take them seriously at all, and did not listen to what he said at all. His
Those reasons and means have no effect on this person.
However, Count Shuvalov is definitely not willing to wait for death. Even if he is struggling to death, he will flutter twice: "I strongly object, this is simply nonsense!"
"Your objection is invalid. Now the guards are here to take Count Shuvalov down and keep him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to visit or communicate with him without my permission!"
Peter Balak was startled. Count Rostovtsev's strength made him very uneasy. After all, he and Shuvalov were grasshoppers on the same rope. If that guy collapsed, he would be fine.
?
He opened his mouth to intercede for Shuvalov, but before he could speak, Count Rostovtsev came to him first: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is quite dissatisfied with your performance. Under your rule,
The fact that such a shocking case happened fully demonstrates your incompetence!"
Peter Balak was stunned by the scolding. He never expected that Count Rostovtsev would treat him like this. After all, he was also a great nobleman. How could he be slapped in the face like this? He was about to have a fit, but Rostov
Count Vtsev's next words immediately made him wilted, like an eggplant beaten by frost...
