Five hundred and thirtieth eight chapters follow me
After leaving Menshikov's office, Mark was quite depressed and frustrated. He came here with high hopes, thinking that his old boss would give him a hand, but in the end, he didn't agree to anything, not even a perfunctory response.
Mark knew that he had been abandoned by Menshikov. Even if he had done so much for the old eunuch, once he lost his value, he would be thrown away like garbage.
This made him very sad and angry. You must know that in the previous trial, he took all the responsibilities and said nothing that was not conducive to Menshikov. This can at least be regarded as loyalty.
?
But what did he gain from this loyalty? Nothing, he couldn't even save his dear brother! At this moment, he hated Menshikov, and felt that he had been tricked by the old eunuch. After all, before the trial, the old eunuch had
The eunuch didn't promise that. At that time, the old eunuch told him that as long as he kept his mouth shut and stopped talking nonsense, everything in the future would be taken care of by him!
But what now? What does this old guy without eggs have to do with anything? Now that he is ruined and his family has been depleted, it doesn’t matter what he wants!
"Fuck you!"
When he walked out of the Admiralty Building, Mark spat viciously into the building. You can imagine how angry he was.
But this anger was of no use. Mark immediately withered, because the old eunuch was still the minister of the navy, the prince of the empire, and a very popular minister, and he was just a guilty minister. He wanted nothing. Let alone use one.
A finger or even a word can kill him!
Mark knew how ruthless Menshikov was. If he was really ignorant, there would be ten thousand ways to make his life worse than death. When he thought of this, he lost the courage to retaliate and could only grimace.
go back.
However, he got on the carriage and walked one block before being stopped. A young officer in a major's uniform not only stopped his carriage but ordered him to pull over.
This made Marc even more sad and angry. It was really a tiger being bullied by a dog. I think back then, let alone a mere minor major, even if a major general came to block the car, it would depend on whether he was willing to receive him and did not want to pay attention to the other party's words.
Just words can make the other person go away.
Today, people and ghosts dared to sit on his head and shit and pee on him, but Mark did not dare to resist because he was nothing now. It was obvious that Menshikov would not continue to protect him. In this high-ranking official
He could not afford to offend anyone in St. Petersburg, where princes were everywhere like grass.
What's more, Mark himself knew that he had offended many people when he was proud of himself, and it was completely normal for people to humiliate him now.
[If you can’t resist, you can only accept it!]
After lamenting in his heart, Mark didn't dare to have the slightest thought of resisting. He got out of the carriage and walked towards the major. He just prayed that they wouldn't go too far and wouldn't really play him to death.
With a hint of respect and flattery, Mark asked with a shy smile: "Major, what's the matter?"
Of course, this is actually a disguise. He just wants to lower his posture to make people feel that he is already very pitiful. He will be gentler when he is dealt with later. At the same time, he is also looking at the other person, trying to figure out who the other person is.
What's the origin? This is a bit of a clue.
[The navy uniform is a bit too young. It looks like he is only in his early twenties. He must be from a noble family. I am afraid he has a good background.]
This is a rule of thumb. If you don't have a strong background, it is impossible to be promoted to major at the age of twenty. Many civilians have difficulty in being promoted to major throughout their lives. This position is not something that can be achieved with ability.
A young man in his early twenties is considered a major in the Russian army, especially in the navy. It can only be said that this guy's background is scary. At least he is the descendant of a powerful nobleman who is close to the royal family.
This made Mark even more honest. Not to mention him now, even he in the past would not dare to mess with such a second generation. Their father and brother might have been cabinet ministers or personal attendants of the emperor. Ten of him would not dare to mess with such a second generation.
I can't afford to offend you, okay?
The major was also very dignified. He glanced disdainfully at Mark and seemed to have a bad impression of him. He curled his lips and said, "Our general wants to see you, so come with me!"
【really!】
Mark sighed again in his heart. Even the slaves who came forward had this kind of background. How powerful is the master behind it?
He could only hope that he had not offended the general too harshly before, otherwise this trip would probably be a narrow escape.
The young major led the way and boarded another ordinary-looking carriage. Then the two of them sat in the carriage without saying a word, letting the coachman lead them forward.
This silent silence made Mark even more uneasy. It took him a long time to summon the courage to approach: "Major, what is your name and where do you work?"
The young man still just glanced at him, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. He was not willing to talk to Mark at all and simply ignored his question.
Mark was a little embarrassed, and felt even more sad and angry, but he knew that he had no other choice at this time - people had to bow their heads under the eaves!
So he continued to ask with a shy face: "Major, which distinguished general wants to see me? Isn't it a bit abrupt to visit so hastily? Otherwise, you can tell me the address and I will make a formal visit after I am ready?"
"How can there be so much nonsense!" The young man snorted and lectured impatiently: "Don't ask around, you will know it when you get there!"
After saying that, he turned away and closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to talk nonsense to Mark.
This made Mark even more uneasy. He couldn't figure out who was targeting him, so he could only look out the window frequently to see where the carriage was taking him.
Fortunately, the window was not blocked, and the other party didn't seem to be afraid that he would know where his destination was. This showed that the other party was very confident, and almost made it clear: "Be honest and obey the arrangements!"
Mark was indeed very honest. He obeyed his instructions obediently along the way. He left the city soon and drove south into a manor.
The carriage stopped steadily at the door of the manor. Immediately, a waiter respectfully opened the door and invited Mark to get out of the car. This somewhat reassured him. At least the other party was polite and did not drag him out of the car and throw him away.
He was beaten violently in a black kiln.
"Stop being stunned and come with me!"
The young major gave orders impatiently, and then walked ahead. However, he did not go into the manor. Instead, he went around to the back of the manor. At the edge of the forest, the crisp sound of gunfire was heard in the distance...
