Vasily Matveyevich Muravyov-Apostol is a military policeman who enforces the law with integrity and impartiality. However, there are absolutely no military policemen like him in Russia, but they are definitely in the minority.
More gendarmes were just flattering bureaucrats who had no interest in fairness and justice, but were very interested in promotions and promotions. This also determined that they were only and would only be Nicholas I's lackeys.
Li Xiao was very grateful to Major Muravyov, not only because of his last reminder, but also because of his impartial law enforcement and impartiality and strictness. When formulating the plan to dig a hole for Gazinski and his group, Li Xiao
Xiao knew that the biggest problem was not whether their plan was implemented perfectly and meticulously. Even if they could do things perfectly, there was no guarantee that the plan would be successful.
The reason is that Russia is not a country that respects laws and principles. Russia under the control of the Romanov family has always been a country where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, and power trumps fairness, justice and law.
When everything is decided by the Tsar, when the Tsar's golden words are equivalent to speaking of the Constitution of Heaven, and when everything must serve the interests of the Tsar and the few powerful officials around him, one sentence can affirm everything, and one sentence can also deny everything.
.
If there was no upright Muravyov and a perfunctory military policeman who was unwilling to take responsibility handled the case, then the evidence that Li Xiao found would probably be destroyed overnight, and no trace would be left.
There will be no written records or files that can prove Gazinski's crime. Instead, the thugs who curry favor with the Tsar will pursue Li Xiao's unfounded guilt, and finally slap him hard on the butt.
But it was different with Major Muravyov. Whether it was his personal testimony or detailed archival records, it was difficult for those who tried to make the evidence disappear to justify themselves. It was equivalent to endorsing Li Xiao and helping him solve a big trouble.
.
To be honest, this is not easy, and it is very likely to affect Major Muravyov's future. It can be said that Li Xiao owes him a huge favor. It can only be said that someone is really lucky. He met him at a critical moment.
Got the key person.
With the endorsement of Major Muravyov, the biggest headache is Kutepov and the scoundrels of Nicholas I who are planning to attack Li Xiao.
The first person to bear the brunt was Lieutenant Colonel Kutepov, the deputy commander. Gasinsky was in charge of the smuggling business of his department and was the main money bag of Kutepov’s group. Now the money bag has been emptied out completely.
The smuggling network is also in danger of being wiped out, which means huge economic losses. How can they live a luxurious life, please their superiors, and buy official positions?
This is not the worst. Once Gasinski is not strict enough and shakes them out, everything will be over. So Kutepov urgently needs to eliminate the impact of the incident and clean up Gasinski.
Take it out cleanly.
"What did the gendarme say?" Kutepov walked around the room anxiously. Even if it was cushioned by a thick carpet, you could hear the irritability and uneasiness in his footsteps.
"It's a bit troublesome," Kutepov's adjutant, Lieutenant Denis Ignashevich, replied cautiously. "The person handling the case is Major Muravyov. You know, that's a dead man who doesn't know how to adapt.
My brain doesn’t buy anyone’s fault, so I can’t do my job at all.”
Kutepov's facial features were twisted into a ball. In the past, he thought it was good to have Muravyov, a stubborn military policeman who didn't buy anyone's account, in the 748th regiment. At least he would not be biased towards the regiment leader Mesado.
Husband, so that the other party could not openly suppress him. And now he felt terrible.
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "How far has the situation reached? Has Gasinski confessed?"
Ignashevich lowered his head even lower, because what he heard about the situation was not good: "The smuggling warehouse was discovered, and all the goods inside were seized by the military police, and arms were also involved. Now where is the arsenal?"
There are military police all around, searching and inventorying..."
"Damn it!" Kutepov kicked the wine cabinet hard and said angrily: "Why is there still something about arms? Didn't I tell them earlier that they must be cautious and careful with arms!"
Ignashevich replied with a grimace: "It is said that the road is not very stable now, and someone needs to scare those guys who are jealous of us looking for trouble. It has been fine before, but who would have thought that this time we would be caught by the military police...
"
Ignashevich's voice became softer and quieter because he saw that Kutepov's face was already clouded. The deputy commander had a bad temper. It was said that he once beat a soldier to death in a rage. Now this
His expression clearly showed that he was furious, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
"Have the relevant procedures been completed? Can you pass it off in the name of training?"
Ignashevich swallowed and replied with great difficulty: "As far as I know, because the relevant procedures are... more complicated, in order to save trouble, generally... generally no one takes care of the procedures, and it has always been done before.
No one noticed, so Major Shirokov didn’t care too much, so...so..."
Kutepov suddenly exploded and spat on Ignashevich's face: "So that idiot just wants to save trouble and turn a blind eye to make things worse, right?"
Ignashevich nodded with difficulty and mourned silently for the arsenal director, Major Shirokov. Unsurprisingly, this man would also be disappointed. There was such a big mistake in the arsenal. It was both emotional and reasonable.
It doesn't make sense. If he is not held accountable, who should be held accountable?
This blow was too big for Kutepov. He was already in a weak position in the 748th Regiment and only had two or three capable men. Now the second battalion commander Gashinsky and the arsenal director Shirokov have successively
Falling off the horse is equivalent to destroying most of his martial arts. How can he fight Mesadov in the future? Not even mentioning the future, what if those two bastards don't bite him?
We must find a way to save those two idiots, or we must make those two idiots believe that Kutepov is rescuing them and can completely rescue them. They must be stabilized!
Kutepov made a decision in an instant and ordered: "You should contact Shirokov immediately and tell him that the arms were shipped out of the warehouse after Gazinsky's application, but the relevant documents were lost...
Uh, or I don’t know where it went, but I insist that the procedures are in compliance!”
"Then, then you find a way to contact Gasinski and ask him to insist that the arms were not transferred privately but legally... Damn it, I hope it works to fool him..."
"And hurry up and find a way to get an application for a decent live-fire shooting training... Well, by the way, don't come forward in person, find someone else who is not related to come forward to do it, and you must not be implicated... Prepare a car immediately, I
I’m going to visit Lord Pobedonostsev at his house, quickly!”
