Cold sweat broke out on Count Shuvanov's head immediately. He knew very well that Count Rostovtsev did not care about him but was questioning him or even beating him. If he didn't correct his attitude quickly and give him an explanation quickly
, and then someone will come up with a thirty-meter machete to chop him.
He hurriedly replied: "You misunderstood, I never meant that, but...it's just that everything has been quiet in the third part recently, and there is nothing major, so I just..."
Count Rostovtsev said calmly: "So you are passive and do not take my orders seriously?"
"No! I absolutely don't dare!" Count Shuvanov hurriedly swore to prove his innocence. "It's really not a big deal, and I definitely don't dare to deal with you!"
Count Rostovtsev showed a sarcastic smile and said coldly: "You won't say anything unless it's a big or small matter, right? I remember that's not what I told you at the time, right?"
Count Shuvanov's face was pale. He was wiping the sweat from his forehead while nervously thinking of a solution, but Count Rostovtsev didn't want to listen to his explanation when he called him over. Count Rostovtsev hadn't done that yet.
idle!
For him, he had known for a long time that Count Shuvanov would not submit honestly and would definitely need a good beating. The reason why he had left this guy alone some time ago was to settle the general account and clear it up for him in one fell swoop.
And now it’s time to settle the accounts, so don’t be polite and let the fight begin!
"There are signs of rebel activities in Irkutsk, and the situation is very unstable. All the officials in the local third department are useless and cannot deal with such difficult matters... His Majesty asked me who can go there to pacify the situation."
Given the situation, I think you are a good fit, don't you, Earl?"
Well, Count Shuvanov was suddenly trembling in his heart. He still didn’t know what kind of ghost place Irkutsk was. It was just a wilderness in Siberia. So what if there were rebel activities in that ghost place? What could be done?
If he is sent there, he will probably have to drink the northwest wind in Siberia for the rest of his life. Obviously this is Count Rostovtsev's killer move. If he doesn't want to drink the northwest wind, he'd better straighten up immediately.
attitude and prove your worth.
Now he panicked and didn't dare to quibble any more. He hurriedly replied: "No! Count, I have important information to report to you. Please don't send me to Irkutsk!"
Count Rostovtsev ignored him, but sipped tea unhurriedly as if he had not heard Count Shuvanov's words.
Now Count Shuvanov was even more panicked. He did not dare to hesitate to reveal his latest discovery, that is, the strange behavior of Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev.
Got it clear.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Count Rostovtsev helplessly like a pitiful pug, as if pleading: "Don't send me to Siberia, I'm afraid of the cold!"
Count Rostovtsev doesn't care whether Count Shuvanov is afraid of the cold or not. For him, if Count Shuvanov is dishonest and can't play a role, then it's okay to kill him directly and make fertilizer. As for sending it to Siberia, that's all.
The most merciful method.
"that's it?"
After a long time, seeing that Count Shuvanov remained silent, Count Rostovtsev sneered and said: "Don't tell me that you don't know about Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky's previous misdeeds.
I don’t know that Count Uvarov went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find Nikolai Milyutin... Don’t tell me that you don’t know this, because if you say that, I can only think that you are not suitable to stay in the third party.
Department, after all, a blind, deaf and mute disabled person is not suitable for such a critical department. The disabled person can only go home and have a good rest, don’t you think so?"
Count Shuvanov's face was uglier than a pig's liver. He could not deny that he knew the above situations, nor could he say that these were minor situations that did not need to be reported. What else could he say except for these two excuses?
"I...I thought...I thought you knew..." He replied weakly.
Count Rostovtsev smiled, and it was a joyous smile, but this smile made Count Shuvanov afraid from the bottom of his heart. He knew that a violent storm was about to land!
It's just that there was no violent storm, but it was better than a violent storm, because Count Rostovtsev just replied casually: "I know it's my business, but it's your fault if you don't report it, what do you think?"
This is a bit murderous, but it does make sense. The leader told you to be a spy and told you to report anything when you have something. He did not tell you: "If you think I know it, you don't have to report it!"...
So to put it bluntly, it is not up to you to decide what to report. You can report whatever is available. You are just a tool person. Tool people don’t need to think so much. Just do their job well.
But obviously you, Count Shuvanov, are not a qualified tool man! You can't do such a simple thing well, and you still make so many excuses. What does this mean?
"I...I...I..."
Count Shuvanov tried hard to defend himself, but found that any defense was meaningless, because Count Rostovtsev did not want to listen and did not care. Look at his look, he was not angry at all, as if this was a trivial matter.
It's like swatting a mosquito to death and swatting a mouse to death.
But this kind of attitude is more frightening than the kind of shouting and killing. Taking it seriously means that you are still a person in his heart and have some weight.
But now people treat you like a rat and mosquito without even taking a look at it, so if they kill you, wouldn't it be just like playing for fun?
Naturally, Count Shuvanov was frightened to death. He was very aware of the meaning and weight of this, and immediately begged for mercy and promised that he would only follow Count Rostovtsev's lead in the future.
After a long while, Count Rostovtsev glanced at him sideways, put down the tea cup and said slowly: "Originally, I didn't plan to talk so much nonsense to you. I will keep those who are useful to me, and get rid of those who are useless."
Come on, it’s not too difficult for me to deal with a few people...especially those who are useless and disobedient, what’s the point of talking nonsense to them? Deal with them early and save worry, don’t you think?"
At this time, Count Shuvanov was no longer sweating profusely, but was sweating profusely. He knew whether he would live or die would depend on what Count Rostovtsev said next. This time he really kicked the titanium alloy
steel plate!
Count Rostovtsev smiled and said slowly: "Originally, I thought you were useful, so I planned to use you once. If you are useful, I would reuse it for you. But who would have thought that you turned out to be a person who doesn't know how to praise me?
