It was not just the nobles of Kiev who were shocked, and it was not just Count Shuvalov and Grand Duke Constantine who were involved. Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail were also inexplicably surprised. To be honest, they had never expected the outcome.
It turned out to be like this. Even if they had three brains, they couldn't come up with such a script.
"What's going on? Why did the count suddenly come to such a conclusion?" Grand Duke Mikhail asked Grand Duke Nicholas with an unhappy look on his face.
Of course, Grand Duke Nicholas knew why his younger brother was unhappy. If this case ended here, there would be nothing wrong with Grand Duke Mikhail. For him, he definitely still hopes to punish Grand Duke Constantine to death.
Please show your courtesy to Crown Prince Alexander.
But how can Count Rostovtsev's conclusion be established? If the case is closed at this point, Grand Duke Constantine will only be criticized a few times and not even lose a hair. What can he do to show his courtesy?
Grand Duke Nicholas was happy to laugh at this. Anyway, he could see that this little brother was a completely careless master, even more deceitful than Grand Duke Constantine. He always tried every means to take advantage of him, even the promised
You can drag and save things as much as you can!
Anyway, Grand Duke Nicholas secretly made up his mind that next time something similar happens, he will not stand with this guy at all.
So he just replied calmly: "I'm not sure, why don't you ask the count?"
Naturally, Grand Duke Mikhail wanted to ask. After all, he was also a deputy imperial envoy. He could only draw conclusions on such a big case. Has he been informed? Have his opinions been consulted?
It's just that he didn't want to go alone. He meant to drag Grand Duke Nicholas to go with him. After all, there were two deputy imperial envoys. If they went together to show their attitude, the intensity would be different.
But it sounds like Grand Duke Nicholas doesn’t want to go at all?
Grand Duke Mikhail glanced at Grand Duke Nicholas suspiciously and said: "It's not appropriate for me to go alone. I think it's more appropriate for us to go together. At least the count will pay more attention to it!"
Grand Duke Mikhail originally thought that Grand Duke Nicholas was still confused and couldn't understand the situation, so he hinted again. But who knew that Grand Duke Nicholas was not confused about the situation or couldn't understand the hint, but that he couldn't understand the situation.
Not interested at all.
"There's no need," Grand Duke Nicholas refused straight away, "If you have any questions, just ask them yourself. I'm not particularly interested in it!"
Grand Duke Mikhail was stunned and looked at Grand Duke Nicholas in disbelief. He felt that this old man had changed his mind. Where was the united front that he had agreed on?
Suddenly Grand Duke Mikhail became a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Nicholas, the purpose of our father sending us here is to supervise Count Rostovtsev to investigate the case. Now that the case is not clear, it is over. What should we do?"
We can sit back and watch! If we go back so irresponsibly, my father will blame us for our poor work!"
In the past, Grand Duke Nicholas might have been bluffed by Grand Duke Mikhail, but now he sees it too clearly and knows that Grand Duke Mikhail is not willing to let it go and wants to instigate him to do something together.
And looking at the posture, he is ready to be at the front as cannon fodder. Do you think it is possible for him to fall into such a vicious trap?
"I think the case is pretty good!" Grand Duke Nicholas said directly, "There's no big problem. I'm satisfied with everything. I believe my father will be satisfied too. If you think there's something wrong, go check it out.
Well! If a problem is found, I can work with you to advise the earl!"
Grand Duke Mikhail was so reviled that he could not speak. He looked at Grand Duke Nicholas with indignation and wanted to grab his clothes and scold him. But when he was about to curse, he found that Nicholas
La Grand Duke had a completely nonchalant attitude.
Obviously, even if he yelled, it would be of no use. The other party was determined not to go with him. And Grand Duke Mikhail knew very well that without the support of Grand Duke Nicholas, he alone would not be able to find Rostov.
Count Zev challenged.
After all, he was only a deputy imperial envoy, and one of the deputy imperial envoys. According to Nicholas I's wishes, only when Grand Duke Nicholas agreed with him could he have some restrictive effect on Count Rostovtsev.
But now Grand Duke Nicholas is not cooperating, and he cannot even scratch Count Rostovtsev with his own strength.
What's more, Grand Duke Mikhail knew very well that the case was over, which was completely acceptable to Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov. For the two of them, although they failed to defeat the other party, they still had their own problems.
It didn't involve much dirty water, so I can accept this result.
On the contrary, if they continue to investigate, they may be ruined or destroyed. Neither of them can afford such a result, so they will never have any objection to Count Rostovtsev announcing that the case will be closed.
It is conceivable that if Grand Duke Mikhail wants to continue to cause trouble, he will be attacked unanimously by these two people. Imagine that all of a sudden Grand Duke Mikhail and Count Rostovtsev, Grand Duke Konstantin and Shuva all at once
Count Love declares war, do you think he has a chance of winning?
This is also the key reason why Grand Duke Mikhail worked hard to persuade Grand Duke Nicholas to take action. His strength alone is too weak and he is no match for these three bosses.
But now Grand Duke Nicholas has categorically said no. Grand Duke Mikhail has no choice at all. He even dares not to say harsh words to Grand Duke Nicholas because he is worried that if he does so, Nicholas will be punished.
Grand Duke Gura forced him to go to Count Rostovtsev. At that time, he was facing encirclement and suppression from all sides, and there was no way to survive.
So Grand Duke Mikhail could only leave angrily, unable to even say harsh words, which shows how frustrated and embarrassed he is now.
Of course, he would not stop there. Although he could not openly question and overturn Count Rostovtsev's conclusion, he would still do the disgusting thing of snitching. After returning to the office, he immediately
He wrote a long letter to Nicholas I, sternly reporting the evil, and hoping that his old father who was far away in St. Petersburg would seek justice for him.
It’s just that this is just a wishful thinking. How could Count Rostovtsev give him the opportunity to bite people randomly? Before announcing the closure of the case, he had already informed Nicholas I of the true situation of the case in detail, although he
He did not say why he did not announce the truth, but he knew that Nicholas I, who was far away in St. Petersburg, would definitely be satisfied with the way he handled it...
