Grand Duke Constantine irresponsibly became the treasurer. He has made it clear that the grain and warehouse cases must have nothing to do with him. If it does, it must be Viscount Prozolov's problem, and all consequences will be borne by the Viscount.
bear.
The popular saying is that if this evidence is traced to Grand Duke Constantine, then he will not hesitate to throw Viscount Prozolov out as the scapegoat.
What, what do you mean if Viscount Prozolov is not willing to take the blame?
In fact, it is easy to handle. Dead people cannot speak. Grand Duke Constantine has a thousand ways to make Viscount Prozolov look like he committed suicide out of fear of crime. He will die quietly and leave a letter admitting all his crimes.
It is a confession of his personal actions.
In short, Grand Duke Constantine must be deceived and innocent, and is only responsible for negligence and misuse of bad people.
Of course, if Grand Duke Constantine could not do all this, Nicholas I would eventually help him do it all. For Nicholas I, knowing the truth of the matter was one thing, but letting the truth be revealed to the outside world
That's another story.
The reason why what Count Rostovtsev did last time in Kiev made him particularly satisfied and happy was that the count not only helped him understand the truth of the case, but also adopted the most appropriate means to prevent the truth from being maliciously spread, and maintained it with the utmost dignity.
The country and the royal family lost face.
If Grand Duke Constantine could not be as good as Count Rostovtsev, then Nicholas I would send someone who could do it to wipe his ass and make everything decent and leave no problems.
Viscount Prozolov was not a novice. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It was clear that Grand Duke Constantine wanted to be embarrassed and take the blame. But he was kinder and allowed him to choose who to take the blame.
Black pot.
It could be him or someone else, but if he had to choose, he would definitely not sacrifice himself.
Viscount Prozolov immediately realized that he had to find an unlucky person with enough weight and deep involvement in this case to take the blame. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, and he certainly doesn't mind in order to protect his own body.
Let other poor souls take the blame.
The first poor thing that Viscount Prozolov thought of was the warehouse management staff. As those directly responsible, those people would definitely not be able to escape. If they could be persuaded to take the case down, then naturally neither he nor he would be able to escape.
It was Grand Duke Constantine's responsibility.
It's a pity that this idea died soon, because he had just heard that those poor people had been arrested and were now under strict guard. Not to mention convincing them to be generous and take the blame, even meeting these poor people
Neither is possible.
Viscount Prozolov knew very well that these people would not be able to hold on for long, and it was only a matter of time before Pobedonostsev's methods were used to pry their mouths open.
After thinking about it, Viscount Prozolov decided to meet a few of his subordinates in Chisinau. These people were the first batch of Moldavia natives who came to seek refuge with Grand Duke Constantine after they heard that he took office.
He is also a pioneer who has actively "solved problems" for Grand Duke Constantine in recent times.
Of course, they are also very likely to be the most suitable scapegoats. After all, Viscount Prozolov directed them to do the whole thing remotely. They are the ones who deal with the warehouse managers, they are the ones who resell the grain, and they are ultimately responsible.
They are the ones collecting the money.
To be honest, I feel a bit reluctant to leave them out to take the blame for Viscount Prozolov, because these Moldavia people are enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards work, and they are eager to do any kind of work. Such qualified cannon fodder is really unacceptable.
Many, if there was no other way, he really wanted to continue to let them act like cows and horses.
"Please invite Count Pantilimon, Baron Ziriches and Baron Grozav to come to my office and tell them that I have something urgent to discuss with them!"
In fact, the list of people originally thrown into the hands of Viscount Prozolov to take the blame was longer, but the remaining ones either had a closer relationship with him and were particularly dedicated to honoring him, or the Grand Duke Constantine also relied more heavily on him.
People, such as Viscount Courtoudian.
Although this viscount's title is not high, he still has considerable influence in Chisinau, especially since he is willing to work hard for Archduke Constantine, so it is not appropriate to throw him out and take the blame.
"Gentlemen, I won't coax you. The incident in the warehouse has happened!"
Viscount Prozolov tried his best to appear very candid, as if he had nothing to hide, and as if he came to these three people to discuss important matters and see how to overcome the difficulties.
This move did make these three people feel at ease a little bit, because the script they were familiar with was that after something bad happened, the superiors would try their best to refute the rumors and try to reassure them. But once they really believed those lies, they would immediately find that the superiors had already
They packed up their bedding and Xinrou and ran away, leaving them looking at each other in confusion.
Therefore, refuting rumors is equivalent to admitting, and consoling is equivalent to deception. They are already familiar with this set of tricks. But Viscount Prozolov was uneasy about their script and told them that something was wrong. This at least seemed sincere and worthy of trust.
It's just that Viscount Prozolov wanted them to think this way, so he was so calm, because his fundamental purpose was worse than those of the three previous superiors and bosses. After all, he was running away and leaving them to take the blame.
Two concepts.
Viscount Prozolov continued to say sincerely: "You should have heard about the matter. Pobedonostsev from Kiev suddenly sealed the warehouse and arrested the warehouse manager. There must be misappropriation and theft of grain.
I can’t hide it anymore. I guess those in charge of the warehouse are not heroes. They can control their tongues and not talk nonsense. By now, I guess they have confessed everything with tears and shouts!"
The three scapegoats were shocked, because in the afternoon when Viscount Prozolov asked them to gather people to go to the warehouse to destroy the evidence, they realized that something was not good, but it was a bit too fast for it to be so serious.
!
"Your Excellency, is the news correct?" Count Pantilimon asked cautiously with a bitter look on his face.
Viscount Prozolov didn't particularly like this count with a pig-kidney face. In his opinion, this count was an out-and-out bastard who couldn't think of anything else except eating.
But who made this guy’s family powerful?
As long as you are rich and powerful enough, even a mentally retarded person can be a decent noble lord.
It was precisely because Count Pantilimon was stupid enough that Viscount Prolozov threw him out to take the blame, so he immediately explained in a pleasant manner...
