Count Rostovtsev believes that Sergey will not be perfunctory, but if you want to say that he is particularly attentive, I am afraid that it is not the case. Most of them are just performing official duties!
Count Rostovtsev shook his head, rang the bell to call his personal guard, gave some special instructions, and added a double insurance policy.
Then, Count Rostovtsev quietly read through the evidence brought up by Constantine's bus, and after a while a smile appeared on his lips.
He knocked on the evidence and said to himself: "You are really dishonest!"
Count Rostovtsev saw something. Some of the evidence and evidence that he considered to be relatively minor that came up from Constantine's bus seemed to be nothing at first glance, but after careful analysis, there were still problems.
That is, these things are relatively secretive, and it is generally impossible for people who are not close to Shuvalov to know such details.
And here comes the problem. Count Rostovtsev knows Grand Duke Constantine, and it is absolutely impossible for him to place an insider next to Shuvalov in advance, otherwise he would not be trapped in the case of Bestuzhev.
Totally passive.
Since no insider was planted in advance, how did he collect these secret incriminating evidences?
Count Rostovtsev quickly targeted Petrovna. Only this woman had a close relationship with Shuvalov, and she disappeared without a trace after the incident. If this woman betrayed Shuvalov, then
It is very likely that she will seek refuge with Archduke Constantine when she is fully wanted, so this is how the incriminating evidence should have come from!
Grand Duke Constantine would never have imagined that Count Rostovtsev would see through the truth just after he sent some less important evidence.
For Count Rostovtsev, knowing Petrovna's whereabouts is also of great significance. Because there are two key points in Bestuzhev Ryumin's case, one is the so-called his warrant,
It's just that because of Li Xiao's intervention, all the relevant witnesses were lost. It is completely impossible to reverse the case from this point of view.
Another key point is Petrovna. If this woman holds key evidence of the case and is willing to testify against Shuvalov, it will be a huge blow to the conservatives.
The crime of false accusation and conspiracy to frame Grand Duke Constantine is too big. With the temper of Nicholas I, if he learned that his precious son was framed, Shuvalov would never be spared, and even Uvarov would be punished.
Eat and hang.
But Count Rostovtsev quickly dismissed this possibility. He felt that it was almost impossible for Grand Duke Constantine to make a comeback and defeat him.
If Petrovna really has the key evidence in the Bestuzhev-Liu Ming case, and these evidences can directly point to Shuvalov, based on her understanding of Grand Duke Constantine, the Grand Duke will never be like this
calm.
If there was such evidence, he would have been jumping up and down shouting injustice, and even busy counterattacking to settle accounts with Shuvalov and Uvarov.
Judging from his performance in this paragraph, he did not do so. It is obvious that although Petrovna defected to him, Petrovna did not have the fatal evidence, so Grand Duke Constantine could only save the country by taking advantage of Petrovna.
Rovna used other leverage she had to deal with Shuvalov.
This discovery made Count Rostovtsev smile in confusion. Such a situation was most beneficial to him. Neither Shuvalov nor Grand Duke Konstantin had a trump card to overturn the situation. In the end, the direction of this case could only be decided by him.
This imperial envoy decided.
After thinking for a while, he closed the document, leaned on the back of his chair and tapped his index finger on the table. After a while, he called Sergey again and ordered: "Let Anton pay special attention to Petrovna.
It may be related to Grand Duke Constantine, that woman is very important!"
Sergey was a little dumbfounded because he couldn't figure out how Count Rostovtsev came to this conclusion in such a short time? Could such an important discovery be found just by sitting in the office with a cup of tea and looking at documents?
Of?
However, Count Rostovtsev had no intention of explaining it, because even if he explained it to Sergey, he could only give it a rough outline, and it would not be of any substantial help to him. This kind of thing must be accumulated over many years and must be based on experience.
It works, and experience is the most difficult thing to instill. No matter how much you talk, he won’t be able to understand or realize it. It’s better to let him wonder in his heart and slowly find the answer.
Sergey did have doubts. After receiving the order, he also carefully read the documents that Count Rostovtsev had read several times, but these things had nothing to do with Petrovna.
He couldn't figure out how Count Rostovtsev derived it.
"Petrovna has contact with Grand Duke Constantine? She may even have taken refuge with him?"
After receiving the news from Sergei and Count Rostovtsev's latest instructions, Anton was also confused. He knew Petrovna's position in the case very well. He kidnapped Fionin last time
At that time, he actually had the idea to abduct this woman too.
It's a pity that this woman's sudden escape disrupted the whole plan. In the end, he could only watch her escape with injuries. The subsequent city-wide manhunt did not reveal her, which made him have a new understanding of this woman's difficulty.
experience.
Now that he heard that she might have taken refuge with Archduke Constantine, he suddenly felt a little troublesome. He asked: "What does the count mean? What should be done if traces of her are found?"
Sergei also asked Count Rostovtsev this question, and the latter's answer was: "Observe and don't act rashly."
Anton nodded, but Sergey warned a little uneasily: "Don't make your own decisions. The count has an overall plan, so don't create complications!"
To be honest, Anton was a little unhappy about this, because Sergey's tone sounded as if he was very unreliable, so he replied calmly: "I know, I won't be troublesome!"
Sergey nodded with satisfaction and asked in a superior tone: "Is there anything unusual about Grand Duke Constantine?"
Anton looked at him quite speechless. It had only been a while since he received the order from Count Rostovtsev. It had not been a day since he was fully prepared. Grand Duke Constantine was not an idiot, so how could he be so impatient?
So he replied dully: "No, just stay in the manor."
Sergey glanced at him again, as if he was afraid that Anton would not give his best, and warned: "Don't be careless. Grand Duke Constantine is very important. Never let him out of your sight..."
