After a day of interrogation, Shuvalov was driven back to his room by the wolf-like military police. Compared with the dark and damp cell, his room was naturally many times more comfortable, with wide and bright velvet quilts.
Silk bed sheets are all available, and as for food and drink, there is even more food and wine. Anyway, except for the lack of personal freedom, you can have everything you want.
It stands to reason that Shuvalov should meet this condition. After all, in the dark prisons of Russia, there are still thousands of tortured prisoners who are starved of food and naked and fight for a piece of black Leba and a glass of water. In comparison,
His life was simply heaven on earth.
Shuvalov was not satisfied with being born in paradise. If possible, he would rather stay in a dark and damp cell than in this luxurious bird cage. In this bird cage, he not only has no freedom, but also
All channels of communication with the outside world have been lost.
While taking a walk after dinner, he tried to get close to the gardener in the manor, but after less than three words of conversation, the gendarme appeared out of nowhere and dragged the poor gardener away without explanation.
The gardener was tied up and publicly executed in front of all the servants of the manor. The thirty whips came down, and the severely beaten gardener successfully made other people in the manor lose even a little bit of luck.
Shuvalov knew that Count Rostovtsev did it on purpose. This was a trick to scare the monkeys, but it did work. Anyway, after returning from the walk, all the servants in the manor gave him a wide berth.
This made Shuvalov secretly annoyed. He did intend to bribe these servants to help him deliver the message, but who would have thought that it would end immediately after just a beginning. He believed that no one would dare to talk to him again.
It is simply impossible to convey the message.
But Shuvalov didn't give up. He knew that if he gave up, it would be all over. The current situation was too bad for him. If he didn't find a way quickly, the fact that he colluded with Petrovna would be brought to light.
Really, if that happens, his future will be completely ruined!
[How about trying to bribe those military police? 】
The road was blocked, so Shuvalov made another plan, but even he knew that this road was more difficult to walk, because all the gendarmes in the manor were brought by Count Rostovtsev from St. Petersburg. He was not just a
It's not that simple to recognize them, and what's even worse is that the expressions on these people's faces show that they can never be bribed.
But Shuvalov, who had no choice but to try his luck, tried to strike up a conversation with the military police who were watching him, and the result was very embarrassing.
Because soon after a new round of interrogation started, Count Rostovtsev said to him directly: "Your Excellency, I have asked Viscount Sivakov to come for questioning. It seems that you have special trust in him.
Well, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it to him face to face, because I also want to hear, what exactly do you want to say to him?"
Shuvalov's expression suddenly changed. Without even thinking about it, the military policeman must have confessed his request and sold him out completely. This made Shuvalov extremely desperate, because he felt that Rostov
Count Zev had built a wall of copper and iron around him, sealing him firmly in his prison.
However, he still did not give in. He held his head high and said proudly: "I don't know what you are talking about. Why did you drag Viscount Sivakov into this?"
Count Rostovtsev didn't bother to pay attention to him, patted Grand Duke Nicholas on the shoulder, turned around and left the interrogation room, leaving Shuvalov confused.
Grand Duke Nicholas sighed and said: "The count has gone to interrogate Viscount Sivakov. I will be responsible for your interrogation!"
After spending two days with Shuvalov, although Grand Duke Nikolai still hated this guy who wasted his time and energy, seeing him struggling feebly in the net woven by Count Rostovtsev, Nikolai
The Grand Duke inexplicably felt that this guy was very pitiful.
[You said you were playing tricks on someone, and doing this trick with Count Rostovtsev is just doing the same thing, okay? 】
Over the past few days, Grand Duke Nicholas was extremely wary of Count Rostovtsev. He saw with his own eyes what this count was capable of, and no tiny loophole or lie could hide from his eyes, one after another.
The guys who were arrogant and arrogant when they first came in were once punished by him, but they were all in a state of disgrace and no longer as domineering as before.
This man was so meticulous and shrewd that Grand Duke Nicholas doubted Count Rostovtsev's ability to read minds, because those who were not suspicious to him were often judged by Count Rostovtsev's few words.
I was speechless and unable to explain myself.
This kind of theory is really terrible. Anyway, Grand Duke Nicholas mourned deeply for Shuvalov and his group. He felt that when they met Count Rostovtsev, they were like a mouse meeting a cat, and there was no way to survive at all.
.
For poor people, no matter how disgusted you are, you will still have a little more sympathy, not to mention that Grand Duke Mikhail specially told him to take care of Shuvalov and don't let him collapse too quickly. So Grand Duke Nicholas
It's much better for it.
Anyway, after Count Rostovtsev left, Grand Duke Nicholas kept asking a few meaningless questions over and over again, just to kill time.
It's just that Shuvalov didn't realize that Grand Duke Nicholas took care of him for the time being, because he was all thinking about how to get rid of the current passive situation, or how to deal with the increasingly sharp Rostovtsev.
count.
After a long time, Grand Duke Nicholas suddenly asked: "What do you want to do by contacting Viscount Sivakov? Count, please don't tell me that you didn't do it. The military police who monitored you told Rostow immediately afterwards.
Count Vtsev, and there are three or five eyes and ears watching you nearby who also heard it, there is no way to deny it!"
Shuvalov's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't expect the truth to be like this. It turned out that in addition to the gendarme who followed and monitored him, Count Rostovtsev also placed so many hidden sentries. No wonder the gendarme promised him
The thing is completely indifferent.
He replied coldly with a straight face: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Grand Duke Nicholas was a little angry. He felt that he was repaying kindness with kindness. He kindly reminded Shuvalov not to do similar things again. It was useless. If he continued like this, all his people would be recruited by Rostov.
Earl Husband was arrested, what a joke!
Grand Duke Nicholas immediately sneered: "I'm telling you to stop doing useless work. Your little tricks can't beat Count Rostovtsev..."
