Alexander II was really surprised. Pobedonostsev said that he could understand that he couldn't find anyone. After all, he was not familiar with the business of the third department, so it was normal for him to be unable to do some things.
But Duke Dolgoruky is different! This is the old man from the third part. Although his ability to do things is not as good as Count Benkendorf and Duke Ordorf, he is still capable.
Why is there nothing he can do? Is it possible that Duke Vladimir really has the ability to change his mind in seventy-two ways?
To be honest, Alexander II didn't look down on Duke Vladimir at all, and he didn't know much about him. When he first heard that Duke Vladimir had cheated on him, he had no other emotions except being furious.
In his opinion, this is just a dead man and a fool who doesn't know the heights of the sky, otherwise he could do such a stupid thing.
Naturally, the tsar did not need to pay special attention to a fool, let alone a mortal man. So he just gave an order in an understatement and asked Pobedonostsev to be the executioner.
Even when Pobedonostsev reported that this guy had not been found, he still did not pay special attention to it. In his opinion, Pobedonostsev was not good at his business or did not pay special attention to this matter.
After all, it’s not a big deal!
But now Duke Dolgoruky also refused to take over, which surprised him. Finally, he wanted to know who Duke Vladimir was!
But it was a little late to investigate this matter at this time. He could only turn around and ask Pobedonostsev: "Count, does this Duke Vladimir have many friends?"
In his opinion, unless Duke Vladimir's network is developed, can he get the news in advance? Otherwise, can he be well hidden under the big manhunt in the third part or can the golden cicada escape from his shell and slip abroad?
It was obvious that someone had opened the back door for this guy, otherwise how could he be so difficult to catch?
But Pobedonostsev's answer surprised him again: "Your Majesty, this Duke is a shabby lothario. He has some friends, but most of them are unworthy people."
Alexander II was stunned and asked: "If you don't have enough reliable friends? Does that mean you are extremely rich?"
Pobedonostsev said with a bitter smile: "I don't have any money, I even owe a lot of debt, and my daughter even has to go out to work to support him..."
Alexander II became more and more speechless. It didn't matter if he had no power, no money, and three. Could it be that this guy was born in the year of the Rabbit and could hide so well?
He looked at Pobedonostsev, who also had a wry smile on his face, and was obviously made speechless by Prince Vladimir.
So he looked at Prince Dolgoruky again, who quickly replied: "What your Earl said is true. Prince Vladimir has no redeeming qualities at all. He is simply a scumbag."
But after saying this, Duke Dolgoruky was also a little embarrassed, because the fact is that these smart and capable people were beaten to pieces by a scumbag and were unable to do anything about it. Doesn't this indirectly mean that they are all waste?
In fact, Alexander II also had this idea. He looked at Pobedonostsev and then at Duke Dolgoruky, wondering for the first time whether he had really blindly chosen a bunch of losers as his henchmen?
Suddenly there was a dead silence in the imperial study. Prince Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev did not know what to say. And Alexander II fell into deep suspicion.
After a long while, he asked: "Is it
It is possible. After all, the Russian Empire is full of bureaucrats. As the saying goes, there are countermeasures from above and policies from below. It is normal for government orders to not leave St. Petersburg.
But, this is just for general situations, the kind of things that make the Tsar particularly angry and pay special attention to are definitely not included in this. As long as the people in the third part are not stupid and know that Pobedonostsev supervised this matter, then
It’s impossible to work without exerting effort!
After thinking for a long time, Alexander II gritted his teeth and slapped the table: "There must be a problem! There must be something we didn't notice! This Duke Vladimir can never disappear out of thin air. Check it out for me and put his personal information
The relationship must be sifted all over again! Once you find out who is secretly helping him, you will be severely punished!"
After saying this, Pobedonostsev waved his hands and left before he could speak to Prince Dolgoruky.
Are you really angry?
Maybe a little, but the most important thing is that Alexander II had nothing to do. As mentioned before, he could not accept Pobedonotsev's resignation by changing generals on the spot, but Pobedonotsev's attitude was so determined.
In desperation, he could only act like a hooligan and get angry and get away!
So Pobedonostsev sat down. He really wanted to throw this hot potato out of the way. He didn't want to be the director of the third film for a whole day.
But who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would act like a hooligan and run away? He looked at Duke Dolgoruky and was about to say that you will be responsible for the tasks assigned by His Majesty. But the latter was not stupid and ran away immediately.
Gone too.
Suddenly Pobedonostsev couldn't laugh or cry. What should he do?
Alas, he had no choice but to hold on. After returning to the third part, Pobedonostsev could only convene a meeting with his subordinates again and ordered that Prince Vladimir’s interpersonal relationships be screened again immediately to see if anyone could
Check again after listing them one by one.
is that useful?
Of course it's useless. Pobedonostsev has already done similar work on at least two sides. If it had been useful, he would have captured Duke Vladimir long ago. How can it last so long?
In fact, Pobedonostsev also knew that it was useless, but first of all, this was an order from Alexander II. Even if similar work has been done twice, but His Majesty the Emperor orders you to investigate, do you dare not to investigate?
Besides, Pobedonostsev didn't know how to deliver the message. Since this was His Majesty the Emperor's order, he just followed it. Naturally, if he couldn't find it again, it wouldn't be his problem alone.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor, you don’t have any good ideas, right?
As a result, Prince Vladimir's friends, old friends, and even his creditors were tortured, and one by one they were brought to the third part of the court for questioning.
After struggling for three days, he still got nothing. In "helpless" Pobedonostsev could only go to the Winter Palace again to resign. Anyway, he was determined. This time he would never let Alexander II escape. If
If he doesn't agree, he will stay in the Winter Palace and not leave!
But what he didn't expect was that Alexander II didn't let him enter the Winter Palace at all. He stopped him at the door and told him to investigate the case slowly and not to worry, and to report back when there are clues...
